MAY FIGHT In THE WOODS.
NicaraSua's President Preparing TO
Give Battle to Insurgents.

IANAGUA, Nicaragua Feb. LIN spite
of numerous obstacles, chief among them be-
ing the want of telegraph communication
and roads, except mule paths between Man
aqua and Bluefelds, President Zelaya is ac-
lively organizing to suppress the revolution
that has broken out in the Atlantic coast
provinces. Fighting between the govern
ment troops and the rebels under J. p.
Reyes, former governor general of the At
lantlc coast division. and self-styled general
in-chief of Nicaragua, probably will begin
in the tropical forests between the Cor
dilleras and Bluehelds. The headquarters of
the government troops is at Acoyapa, a
welI-chosen strategic point, near a branch of
the river SegOvia, beyond the divide; while
the revolutionists are reported encamped
near Chile.

The New School Building.

Although the board of school commits
sioners has not yet taken any official action
in regard to the location OF the proposed
school building, the consensus of opinion
seems o be in favor of placing it at the top
of the hill at the junction of East State and
Hubbard streets The practicability Of
building it upon the lower portion OF the
school property near the present building
has been considered, but it has been demon
strated that should this be done, the cam
pus would be cut up, the light in both
buildings would be more or less impaired
and the general appearance OF both struc-
lures might suffer by comparison.
AS to the location on the hill, everything
seems to point to that place as the most de-
sirable in every way. The lot can be used
for no other purpose, the light, air and
drainage all that could be desired and the
two buildings would be near enough to-
gether for all practical purposes. AS to the
grading Of the new school, the feasibility OF
grading along the same lines now in prac-
tice in the Union school, with the excep.
tion OF the High school, is contemplated.
This division will necessitate the employ.
ment OF four or five extra teachers, as forty
pupils in grade are considered all, and
even more, than one teacher can instruc,
and obtain the best results.

ICharles Street Bridge.

d. j. Foster Of Burlington, Alfred E.
Watson OF Hartford and John ID. Miller Of
Wallingford, comprising the State board of
railroad commissioners, are in the city to
grant hearing on the petition OF the Mont
pelier and Wells River railroad, relating to
the kind of crossing which should be put in
near the approach to the proposed Charles
street bridge.
w. A. Stowell, general manager Of the
railroad making the petition, was the only
witness examined during the morning ses-
sion, after the commissioners had been
taken to the locality in question to look
over the ground. The evidence taken was
along the same lines as that given at the
previous hearings in the bridge case, with
which the public generally is familiar.
One surprise was developed in the testi-
mony of Mr.. Stowell He testified that the
Montpelier and Wells River railroad desir-
ed an overgrade instead OF grade crossing.
1t has previously been given out by coun-
sci for the road that the railway company
had not asked for an overgrade crossing
but that an ample one at grade should be
constructed and maintained by the city.
When Mr.. Stowell was asked in this con-
nection as to whether his company would
be willing to bear portion of the expense
OF the construction of snch a viaduct as
would be required, Mr.. Lamson objected to
the question aud it was waived for the time
being,
After arguments on both sides had been
heard the commissioners retired for con-
sultation, returning in short time TO an.
nounce their decision in the matter. Chair
man Foster stated that the board had not
been given any new reasons why there
should be an overhead crossing from those
which were contained in the report of the
bridge commission and later passed upon
by the supreme court; they therefore de-
| cided that the recommendations of the com
sion and the orders of the court be carried
out in the construction of grade crossing.
The commissioners also stated that in maxi
ing this decision they did not wish to be un
derstood.as establishing precedent in favol
OF grade crossings. The matter Of the com
missioners issuing an order to the railroad
to build q crossing fifty feet in width at the
expense Of the city was finally disposed o.
by allowing the board to draw an order il
form and present 1t to both sides for concur
renee before IL is issued. The matter O
maintenance of the crossing was also lef
| Op6u.

Losses by Lightning.

The electrical storms of Friday morning
and afternoon are considered the most se-
we're and disastrous of any that have ever
visited New England. The local agent in
Troy OF the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance
Company has reported to the home Office in
this city four losses by reason OF the light
ming striking farm buildings there, but the
full extent has not yet been learned.
George Brainerd, adjustor for the company,
was called this morning to the home OF Jo-
seph T. Lapage on Beckley hill to adjust a
loss on the house amounting to about $40
and caused by the lightning Friday.
A large barn at East Bethel was reported
to the Office this morning as having been
struck by lightning on Friday afternoon
and burned. Lightning struck the farm
buildings on the Calvin Moulton estate at
Waterbury Center, Friday afternoon, and
they were burned to the ground. These
buildings were insured for $500 in this COM
pany also. The losses thus far reported to
the company have been on farm property
and none on village residences One res-
son why farm buildings are more liable to
be struck by lightning than those OF other
descriptions is that the gases and steam
arising from the hay and produce stored in
them form an excellent conductor for the
electric fluid. Up TO the present time six
losses from lightning have been reported to
the Union Mutual.

THE BURNS MONUMENT.

On page two Of this paper will be found
an account OF the imposing ceremonies con-
nected with unveiling the Burns statue at
Barre. Some additional facts regarding the
men who designed and carved this beauti-
ful structure are OF generel interest.
j. Massey Rhind of Alpine, N. j., is the
architect and designer. Many designs
were submitted to the Burns Club, but this
new and original conception Of Mr.. Rhind
was at once accepted. Mr.. Rhind 'is a ma
tive Of Edinburgh, Scotland, and has been
in this country since 1889. Among the
notable works he has drafted are 1.-THE
Expulsion of Adam and Eve " design for
the doors Of Trinity church, New York. the
memorial fountain to Senator Rufus Wing
in Washington Park, Albany, n. Y, the
Calhoun statue, and the decorations for the
commencement hall at Princeton college.
The monument was fully described in
these columns several months ago, but
repetition is Of interest at this time. The
bottom base is eight feet square, the second
base is five feet six inches square, by seven
teen inches thick, surmounted by the statue
OF Burns, the whole standing twenty-five
feet and ten inches high. The statue rep
resents Burns as young man, the "Bobbie
Burns" whom Scotia's sons, in whatever
land or cline, love and honor.
The four panels OF the monument were
cut by James B. King of Milford N. H., a
native OF Aberdeenshire. The front panel
represents ''lne COJberb SATURDAY NlRnt,'
one of Burns poems that will never die.
Under this panel is cut the first line of the
last verse OF the poem:
"From ,scene' like this old scotia's grandeur
springs"
The rear panel is a representation OF the
cottage in which Burns was born. The
right hand panel is an excellent represent
taton OF "Tam OShanter's Ride". Six fig
CURES, including Tam's mare Meg, are
shown above the couplet:
"As spring brought off her master hale.
But left behind her ain grey tail"
The left hand panel shows Burns at the
plow, in illustration of his poem 1.-THE
Mountain Daisy" Under it is cut this
couplet:
Thou's met me in an evil hour"
The monument from bottom base to
crowning statue Is Of Barre granite. In it
all the best dark Barre granite quarries are
represented II is the only granite statue
of Burns in existence.
The work OF cutting this statue was un-
dertaken by William Barclay, whose
thorough work in any job he undertakes
has given his establishment a good name
that extends far beyond the borders OF New
England. 1t is no small credit to the city
of Barre that it was not necessary to send
abroad for expert carvers. To Samuel
Noveli and Eli Cart Mr. Barclay entrust-
ed the work, knowing full well the skill Of
the men. The completed work justifes
Mr.. Barclays judgment and is highly cred
liable to the skilled artisans who performed
it.
The festivities closed Friday evening
the Burns Club gave banquet at the City
Hotel to w, p Stafford, Esq, the orator OF
the day, Representative W. w. Grout and
other distinguished visitors.
