Industry at Putney.

Within few years the Vermont spring
company has secured a large tract of land on
what is known as Putney West Hill. Two
hundred acres of this trsct are in the towns OF
Brookline and Putrey, the purchase includ-
ing the Vermont mineral spring, the water
OF which bubbles from a crevice IN enor-
NOUS ledge of rock, being located half mile
east and 700 feet above the West river. The
spring, which has long been known to the
people of the West liver valley, is PIP miles
from Newfane station aud is reached by de-
lightful l5-mile drive from Bratteboro. The
analysis of this water by s. T. Sharples, state
assayer of Massachusetts, proves that it con-
tains excellent medicinal properties, which
Rave been frequently tested from the time Of
the earliest settler of Brookline and the sur
rounding towns. Not until within short
time has there been any special effort made
to bring it to the attention of the afflicted
The spring company has built bottling
house and already there is a large den aud
for the water, which is shipped all over New
England and to moro remote points.
The scenery in the vicinity of the spring is
grand, commanding a view of three states,
the little town of Brookline lying in the val
ley at the base of the mountain, while away
to the westward, in an unbroken chain, are
the Green mountains. The spring company,
of which j. G.. Martin of Manchester is presi-
dent, will soon provide accommodations for
large number of summer guests.

Railroad Consolidation.

Representatives of the Vanderbilt interests
are now inspecting the Delaware & Hudson
railroad. The trip is said to be pre-
liminary to the passing of the property into
the formal control of the New York Central.
There has been heavy buying of the stock
recently by brokers said to represent the
Vanderbilts, and it was asserted that they
had acquired enough stock to carry through
a proposition to lease the road to the New
York Central for a long term of years, with
a guarantee of full dividends to the stock
holders.
The plan is identical with that presented
Friday night at Boston to the Boston and
Albany directors when they voted to lease
their line to the New Xork Central for long
term of years. The proposed Delaware &
Hudson deal is regarded as another step in
the great Vanderbilt-M Morgan plan to form
a giant coal trust, and to develop to their
fullest capacity the money making powers of
the misunderstanding roads. 1t is said that
the Ontario & Western is eventually to form
the last link in the Black Diamond chain.
1t is reported and believed in railroad cir
cles in Boston and New York that plans of
the Vanderbilt interests for an extension of
| their railroad system into New England may
include not only the Boston & Albany aud
the Fitchburg railroads, but also the Yer
mont Central railroad DIR. W. Seward
Webb, it is sta ed, not only examined the
Fitchburg road a few months ago, but also

this consolidation Rutland News.

A Boys SAD FOURTH.
A Lost 10 Cent Piece the Cause o
Much Gloom.


Much Gloom.
In the days of my boyhood the cele-
bration of Independence day was al
ways an interesting occasion to me
the booming of cannon, the parade Of
citizen soldiers and the most attractive
feature by far to my boyish mind, the
booths where sweet things were sold.
My How used to hang around those
vendors and wish and wish that hadn'
lost that dime, for that was my earliest
recollection of an unhappy Fourth.
In those days boys were not given an
Astor purse to burn in powder, and I
thought was faring well indeed on
this Fourth when my father gave me a
10 cent piece. I was so happy at the
thought of this wealth that ! stopped to
play leapfrog with some companions
who were less fortunate than I, and I
did this to my undoing. I remember
distinctly that l had quite crowd of
little boys following In my wake, for
they knew full we'll that whatever /
bought l would willingly share with
them.
At last an old Rip Van Wrinkle look
ing Italian vender cried out: "Here' 8
your fina cake. l sella two for una
centsa, with puma right in the mid
dla"
This was my opportunity to shine. l
walked up to him proudly conscious
that I had that dime, and while the
vender was counting the cakes out I
was fumbling in my pocket for that
coin 1 never will forget my confusion.
The blood rushed to my face, and l
stammered out, "It's gone" We did
not get the cakes, and the vender said
something in Italian as we hurried
away on fruitless search for that holt
day prize. Colonel Smith in San Fran

Fireworks Designed to Tempt Young

Not only are the manufacturers en-
gagged in making fireworks for land dis
play, but they also make what they
term "water fireworks" These are in
tended to make display on the surface
of the water. They are ignited by
slow fuse, and when thrown into the
water they burn, after short time,
with wonderful effects in color and mo-
ton. The varieties are known as imps,
dolphins, witches, devils, snakes, vol
canoes, fountains and batteries
Spanish Jugglery" is the name of
new piece, which can be used On the

fowerpot, and is to be used principally
in lawn exhibitions. 1t starts out by
pouring out a geyser of fire and winds
up with an explosion that sends a num-
Ter of flying pigeons into the air 900
feet. The gyrations of the pigeons and
the beauties of the circle of fire with
which they surround themselves is re-
markable.
In the same class are the "Devil
Among the Tailors," which is foun
tain of beautiful lights; "Jack in the
Box" that pours forth glory of colors,
and the "Colored Saucissons, which go
Kissing and squirming over the ground
