!. EDGAR MELLEN,
Alarming Situation in Venezuela.

Venezuela's complications with Ger
many and Great Britain have reached an
alarming stage which looks like war
The Venezuela fleet of small warships
was seized by the ten German and four
English vessels Tuesday, and some of
the dispatches indicate that the two big
countries have committed acts of war
by sinking warships and by an armed in
vasion. President Castro is preparing
to defend La Guayra and 1000 troops
have been thrown into the city.

Gard of Thanks.

We take this method of expressing to
our neighbors and all who so kindly as
sisted us at the time of the accident
which took from us our beloved wife
and daughter and to those who sent the
many beautiful flowers at the time of
the funeral, also we are very grateful
to the pastor who spoke such words of
comfort and the singers. May all have
such true friendship shown them in their
hours of bereavement.

Electric Road for Grafton.

A bill chartering the Saxtons River 4
Grafton Railway company has passed
both houses of the legislature and will
become law. Among the incorpora-
tors appear the names of several citizens
of Saxtons River and Grafton and also
parties interested in the Bellows Falls
Il Saxtons River railway. A capital
stock of $4,000. is provided for and it is
understood that there is agitation on foot
to run the road at least as far as Cam
bridgeport. 1t Is argued that this will
open up important freight business and
be paying investment.

There was spirited discussion in
the Senate Wednesday upon a bill
introduced by Senator Downer, pro-
hibiting the giving of railroad passes
to members of the legislature, judges
of the supreme or municipal courts,
and states attorneys. The charge was
made during the discussion that, in
spite Of the fact that the supreme
court judges have an allowance for
transportation all but one Of them ride
on passes. Senator Spencer spoke in
favor of the bill. On yea and nay
vote it was unanimously ordered to
third reading, the rules were suspend
ed, and the bill was passed. Thursday
morning the bill was reconsidered,
and, after discussion, was killed by
vote of II to 16. Senator Spencer
voted for the bill and Senator Law
renee against it. The House killed
similar bill later in the day.

Soldier of the Cross" Two duets were
rendered by Mrs. n. Alapai and Miss

tail the early school life of the newly

proud.

INTEREST UNDATED In
Van WORMBR TRIAL
Women Defy the Inclement
Weather to Attend.
Testimony Of the Dead Mans Widow
Strengthened by That Of Physician
Regarding Bloodstains on Wall.

HUDSON, " Y. April 8.-Interest in
the trial Of the Van Werner boys for the
murder Of their uncle, Peter HaIlenbeck.
continues undated
Despite the rain the courtroom was
filled this morning, a goodly number Of
those in attendance being women.
Dr. Louis Van Hoeseu, who was on the
stand when court was adjourned last
night, resumed his testimony today.
His statement that there were blood
stains on the wall in the corner where
Peter Hallenbeck's shotgun was standing
when he was attacked. tends to strength
en- the statement Of the murdered man s
widow that her husband made no move
to get the gun until after he was fired
at, and that when she left the kitchen the
gun was still standing in the corner.
The prosecution will point ous 20 the
jury that HaIlenbeck must have been
wounded before he reached for the gun. or
the tell-taIe bloodstains would not have
been left on the foor.
Neighb0rs who were among the first to
reach the scene OF the tragedy viii be
called ~ the prosecution today to tell
what they know Of the affair
