IL the work on the new Rutland
shirt factory building can be begun
by September lst it will be finished
early in November. The company in
tends to employ about 100 hands a
first and increase the force to 800 al
soon as help can be obtained. A rep
resentaUve of the firm when asked
why the company preferred to locate
in towns the size of Rutland rather
than in large cities, he replied that il
was because they got a much better
class of help than in the large centers.
This company, Cluett, Coon q Co.,
have shirt factories in Troy, Granville,
Port Henry, n. Y, and Fair Haven.
The leading line of shirts is the "Mon-
arch" brand.
The Central Vermont railway is
improving its roadbed by grading,
and elevating one side of all curves
the length of the line. Gravel for
such use between Essex and Windsor
is being taken from the pit at West
Berlin, and from Essex TO Montreal
from pit at Underhill. A steam
shovel is used at West Berlin TO load
the cars and there is also a telegraph
er with instruments located there
while the work is being done. By
eleyating the high side OF curves it is
said cars will pass over them with less
jar and considerable strain upon both
cars and track will be obviated. Some
railroad men say that this is prelim-
mary move looking to a faster sched-
ule later for certain trains.
Two colored men, Newell Willard

they assaulted Mrs. Kirstead, after
enticing her from her home. Both
left town, Edward by train and
Newell with a "borrowedn horse.
Sheriff Howe went in pursuit, arrest
ed Newell at Ascutneyville and had
Edward captured at Charleston.
They were brought before Justice
Ball, charged with assault and New
ell, in addition, was charged with
horse stealing. Edward was held in
81 900 bonds and Newell in 1900,
and both were taken TO Woodstock.

Vermont volunteer.

BANKRUPTCY LAW.
How The New Federal Statute Oper-
ates in Vermont.


The bankruptcy law went into
effect in July, 1898. Since then there
have been over $50 petitions in bank
ruptcy in Vermont, or an average OF
l6 in each county. Nearly all OF
these petitions have been filed during
the past eleven months, as several
weeks elapsed after the law went into
effect before many people took advan-
tage Of it. The Liabilities in most in
stances do not amount to more than
$500, and usually there are very small
assets. There are few petitions,
however, with large Liabilities, which
brings the average Of liabilities up to
about $500.
In speaking of the distribution of
cases the Brattleboro correspondent
Of the Springfield Republican says:
"Windsor, Franklin and Caledonia
counties furnish more bankrupts than
any Of the other counties. In Frank
lin county, for instance, there have
been from IS to 100 petitions, and in
Windsor county there have been
about 80, the average number OF pc
titions in the latter county under the
old insolvency law being about two
in a year. The majority Of the pc
titions in these counties are filed by
Central Vermont railroad employees,
and the reason for this is said TO be
that the company has given notice to
its men that it will discharge any Of
them whose wages are trusted.
Rather than be discharged the men
who are in debt 20 through bank
ruptcy, relieve themselves Of their old
debts and start anew. Another rea-
son why there are so many more petit
tons in bankruptcy than there were
in insolvency is that the cost is only
about one-fourth as great. Still
another reason is that ordinarily no
hearing is required in order to be
bankrupt.
One Of the great benefits Of the law
is that il greatly curtails credit. II is |
possible for person to run up large |
bills at various stores with the inten-
ton Of going through bankruptcy to
to relieve himself Of the obligation OF
paying them. For this reason the
is careful as to whom be
trusts. Again, many self-respecting
people have become hopelessly in debt
no fault of their own, VINO
could not obtain a discharge under
The old law because of the lack OF
sufficient assets. Under the new law
hey can throw off the burden and at
he same time maintain their self-re-
.peet. 1t has been suggested that no
discharge be granted a bankrupt I'M
ess his bankruptcy comes about
through acts performed in good faith.
suggestion is that a bankrupt
De discharged only by vote of at least
of his creditors. Nari-
rus other remedial measures have
leen suggested and it is probable that
.ome Of them will be adopted rather
han repeal the present law and allow
he old chaotic conditions to again
obtain.

state Committee Considers Various
Preparations.
The state committee of the Dewey
reception and the committees appoint
ed by the city of Montpelier held q
joint session at Montpelier last week
Tuesday. The question of transpor'
tation took up great deal of time,
and il was decided TO add TO the com.
mittee on transportation, James W,
Brock of Montpelier. The committee
is made up Of Gov. Smith, w. b,
Wall, L. Bart Cross, Gen. Gilmore
and James w. Brock. The members
OF the committee generally conceded
that the success of the whole affair
from a numerical point Of view de-
pended on the liberal policy Of the
railroads. The Central Vermont
wants fare and third, which is not
satisfactory.
The Montpelier committee is TO Sc
lect 10 citizens TO act as aids on Col.
Hooker's staff during the parade.
Col. Hooker said he would ask Secre-
tary Long to allow the Marine band
20 come here and also make request
on the war department that the ADD
regiment modelling at Fort Ethan
Allen be sent for the occasion.
The Langdon estate offered the free
use of the Langdon pasture below the
city for camp grounds for the national
guard and also the free use of the
buildings now in course Of construc-
ton at the corner of Main and State
streets for taking care Of and feeding
the people who visit here.
Chairman Hooker appointed a
committee on decorations and fire.
works. A like committee will be APP
pointed from Montpelier to confer
and work with the state committee.
The present plan is to have the COM
mittee visit New York at the time OF
the Dewey celebration there and make
arrangements with decorators and
possibly secure some of the decOra-
tions for this city. The contract for
fireworks for the evening will be let
at the same time.
1t was voted to invite the Norwich
university cadets TO take part in the
ceremony and all other societies un-
known 10 the secretary can have an
invitation by simply suggesting it.
There are many school battalions in
the state and il was considered a good
plan to have them present and join in
the parade.
Ii was deemed inexpedient TO APP
portion the $4,000 until il could first
be seen what was needed for various
purposes. Gov. Smith explained that
the president has declined the New
York invitation because he does not
care TO take away from the reception
anv honor which will be given to Ad-
miral Dewey, and it is believed that
he would feel the same way toward
the Vermont celebration, hence no
invitation will be sent.
Before adjourning it was settled
that Montpelier should go the expense
only of decorating the private houses
and furnishing sustenance for the
crowd which will attend. The state
will paw for decorating the state house
and streets. the fireworks and bands
and furnish entertainment for the
bands.
