A mIDuIGHT ROBBERY
The Fairla,un Hotel ,Uds Entered
Early this Morning and
Quite Number Of Val
liable Siluer dr.
ticles Taken.

Some time after midnight the cook OF
the hotel aroused Mrs. Carpenter saying
that burglars were in the adjoining
house which is used as dining room.
Mrs.. Carpenter then aroused Messrs.
NJ. N. Detch and William Cndner tell
ing them tho story OF tho cook. They
proceeded hurriedly through the hall
and on opening the doc, found one OF
the party Of house breakers on the
porch. He pleaded innocence saying
that he wanted something to eat and he
was there to ask for it. This story did
not set well with his captors 80 they
marched him into the hall and called
another male roomer to their assistance
the intention being to leaveRone with the
captive and the other two, to capture
the burglars who were working in the
adjoining house. The roomer that they
had called insisted on shining his shoes
adjusting his necktie, ETC., and was
lengthening out the time making good
the escape of the robbers. At last when
the gentleman arrived at the house the
birds" had flown. Meanwhile Miss
Susa was busy gathering together all
the firearms OF the neighborhood and it
Is safe to say had the arms she collected
been turned loose there would have been
no occasion for arrests.
The captured man gave the name Of
Lin, and said he was from Nashville,
Tenn, that he had been working at the
sugar factory and had been discharged
last evening. He was taken to the city
Jail where he is awaiting his trial.

Savings Banks.

A communication from F. w. Pierce,
president of the Chester Savings bank,
was printed in the Saturday issue of the
TIMES. 1t was well-wrItten, instructive
and interesting article. Besides making
an excellent showing for the Chester bank,
Mr.. Pierce devotes considerable space to
sho wing that all the money in Vermont
seeking investment cannot be loaned within
the state. His statements in this connec-
tion must be true, for, as he says, Ver-
mont is not borrower but loaner.
There is one bank in the state which has
boasted for several years that never has
dollar of its money been invested outside
of state limits. This bank is fortunate,
and its good fortune makes it all the harder
for the other banks to look exclusively to
the Vermont field.
The question Of interest is serious one
with all savings banks Within the past
year some have reduced to 3 1-2 and even
per cent, while others still hold to per
cent. If local borrowers were to benefit
by this reduction, that is, if they could
secure loans at or 1-2 per cent, the
change would be more equitable, but we
are informed that at least in some of the
communities the bank directors do not
tbink that monetary condition, warrant
cut in the rate OF interest on money
loaned local parties. In other words, the
directors need the high rate from their fell
low citizens to compensate for the low
rstes they are obliged to make on foreign
investments.
Three or 12 per cent is no more than
many life insurance companie, are promis-
ing aud assuming risks OF life and death.
If 3 per cent is to be- the rate OF savings
banks in the no distant future, it will be
strange indeed if the change does not
result in benefit to the insurance companies
to the injury of the banks.
