Siberian Railway. oa". .a ~ s ~ ~,


~'~''''" ''"'""S' centyears in the old
world none have excited keener inter-
est than the building of the Siberian
railway, now nearing completion.
Every step of its progress has been
watched, and the following. received
from Mr.. r. II. Greener, American COM
mercial agent at Vladivostock, will be
of interest to American readers:
Mr.. Khilkoff, minister of ways and
communications, had special train
sent to him on the Great Siberian rail-
road some months ago. There were
five coaches-one frst-class, two Sec
ond-class, one dining and one baggage
car. All the appointments were excel
lent. There were, besides, the usual H.
brary. pianos, writing conveniences
found in American cars), barber
shop, a gymnasium, good supply of
ice. patent water boilers, dials which
indicate the next station and the
length of stop, double windows to pro-
tect from dust and the extreme Siberi-
an cold; and an observation car at the
rear. On this train were attendants
speaking English, French and German.
The cars are lighted throughout by
electricity. There is no charge for the
barber or for medical attendance. The
bath costs two rubles tone dollar).
From st. Petersburg to Irkutsk the
transit occupies about seven days;
from Moscow about six. and from
Paris not more than 20 days.
The total length of the line to Vlad-
livestock will be AHA miles. The cost
will be 100000, 900.
The section just completed as far as
Stretinsk is important, because it

THE BARRE TINES.

The first newspaper printed in Barre
was called "The Barre Times" and
was started in 1871, as before stated
by Stilman Wood. 1t was a monthly
and literary in character, but owing,
no doubt, to q want of sufficient pat
ronage, it had a brief existence of one
short year.

BARRE PAPERS,,
A History Of the Newspaper
business Of the Granite CITY
PAST AND PRESENT:
The City has now two of the
Best Afternoon Dailies
in the state.

One of the first things to demand
the attention of the pioneers of a
western city was the establishing a
newspaper, as a forerunncr of coming
events. This thought seemed to take
possession of some of the leading men
in the village of Barre away back in
the 70's. StiIlman Wood, ESQ.,, can
be set down as the one to make the
first start toward what has now be-
come one of the leading industries of
the namely, publishing a daily
ncwSp lper.
Barre and Montpelier have always
been noted as rival places. The first
newspaper published in the latter
place was commenced in 1906. This
soon led to an unrest in Barre, but the
newspaper business did not develop I'M
til thirty years after the attempt was
made in Montpelier.

SHE FELL IN WITH SNAKES.
Stirring story of Quaker Woman
Concerning Her GirIhood

Mrs. Alice Wilson, modest Quaker
lady of Kokomo, Ind, wife OF w. II.
Wilson, well-known dairyman, can
tell a snake story that knocks out the
professional snake liars, and hers has
the refreshing distinction Of being
true, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. The
story is a part of the pioneer history Of
this section of the state, and is well
remembered by the early settlers now
living.
Near the banks of small stream,
known for nearly half a century as Rat
tlesnake creek, stood the cabin home
of Morton Ellis. a sturdy Quaker. From
the hill on which the cabin stood was
a path leading to spring some dis
tance away, water being carried from
this for house use. One sabbath day
afternoon returning from meeting, the
Oldest daughter, Alice. now Mrs. viii
son, was sent to the spring for water.
When tripping along with her bucket

shoulders into a cavern full Of rattle

SUFFER WITHOUT REDRESS.
The Supreme Court Denies Relief to
a Man who Was Falsely
Imprisoned.

A remarkable case was brought to
public attention at Washington recent
ly when Chief Justice Fuller an
nounced that the motion of Fred Bell
for leave to sue the state of Mississippi
in the supreme court has been denied
His application read:
ION the 31st day of May, 1876, plain
tiff was tried in the circuit court OF
Sharkey county upon the charge oil

sentenced to serve term of five years
in the state penitentiary; that he was
incarcerated in said peniteutiary on
the 31st Of May, 1879. The authorities
of the state should have discharged
him on the 31st day of May, 1884, but,
contrary to the rules, laws and regula-
tions Of said state, with reference to
state prisoners, wantonly kept plain
tiff imprisoned for 13 years and 81
days over and beyond the limitation
of the sentence of the court. After sew
eral years of unlawful detention by the
state authorities, his burden having
been constantly increased, he has
worked SO intensely that, in discharge
of his labors as such convict, he lost
his eyesight completely, SO far as re-
lates' to his ability to do labor, or con-
venient use to him otherwise; at the
expiration of his 1s years and 81 days
illegal imprisonment he was dis

LET HIS BAT SLIP.
Young Man Badly Inltred at WeIch
Sunday.

The Viniia second team went to
Welch Sunday and played eight
innings Of base ball with the team
at that place, when the game was
brought to close by an accident
that may prove fatal to one OF the
Welch players. Ben Moore, a
left handed batter on the Welch
team was up and had two strikes.
He made strong swing at the
third ball, with such force that on
missing it his bat slipped from
his grasp and struck Bert Parker
son, another member of that team.
The bat seemingly turned over
once and the small end Of it struck
the man squarely just below the
eye, making terrible hole, shat
tering the cheek bone, displacing
the nose and eye, and knocking
out several teeth.
The Vinita boys remained for
an hour after the accident and the
victim showed no signs of recov-
ering consciousness, the doctors in
attendance saying his chances for
recovery were very small. At the
close Of the eighth inning the
Vinita boys were in the lead with
score of 7 to 6.
