RAILROAD TO FIGHT FIRES.
VIII Dispense With Insurance b.

VIII Dispense With Insurance By
Furnishing Its own Departments.
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company has estab-
lished independent fire departments at
all its stations and freightyards' along
the Highland division, says dispatch
from Newburg, N. Y, to the New York
Times. The company has taken the
matter of fire insurance into its own
hands. None of the company's prop
erty Is to be insured In the future.
They argue that If Office forces are
well organized and have the proper
paraphernalia to fight fire they can do
1t quicker and more effectively than
fire department, which necessarily
loses much time in reaching the scene
of fire.
At the yard in Newburg the CON-
pany has placed fire hydrants. Three
crabs are in the yard, each equipped
with $50 feet Of first class hose. Be-
sides the hydrants the company has
supplied the various buildings with
four kinds of extinguishers, and the
employees have been instructed In
their use.
The company has converted it's in
surance fund into fire department
fund, and the officials feel sanguine 1t
will prove as useful. Day and night
forces are employed at the station and
freight yards, thus giving the railroad
property continual protection.

SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.

SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.
Manufacturers of certain lines are ex-
periencing an increased demand for
products and the prospects in general
line of manufacture are considered fav-
orable for fall business. The leading
industries of the state, which include
lumber, granite, marble and slate bust
ness, together with creamery and dairy
interests, in their prosperous condition,
bring into the state large revenue.
While in some instances receipts for
products come in only at certain periods,
perhaps twice yearly, as rule working
capital is not tied up in long accounts,
the farmers receiving their pay from the
creameries monthly, and as result
there is usually sufficient capital avail
able for business operations.
The business situation remains prac.
tically unchanged at Burlington. The
cotton mills are busy. and find a good
demand for their outlay. The lumber
trade is somewhat quiet, but prices rule
firm. Other concerns are moderately
busy, wholesale trade and collections
satisfactory. Retail business unchanged
In Rutland business is fair. There is
still strike in the two machine shops
and the retail trade feels the effect Of
the decreased income to the workmen
Other manufacturing business is active
The paper mills at Bellows Falls are
reasonably busy and there is fair de
mand for paper. Business in other lines
of manufacture is good. Retail trade
active. In Springfield there is being
constructed large additions to number
OF the shops and these enlarged facilities
together with like improvements which
have already been made indicate grea,
activity among the manufacturers. Re
tail trade and collections good. White

IS PROHIBITION DOOMED ?
What Is the Lesson Of the Vermont Election

What Is the Lesson OF the vermont EieeuonE
Under the above caption last Sundays
Boston Globe contained a series OF
signed articles, written by men promi-
nently before the public. One article is
from the pen of Hon. Felix W. McGet-
trick. the democratic candidate for gov
ernor in this state, which We append
herewith:
PEOPLE ARE AGAINST PROHIBITION.
The vote for governor cast yesterday
unquestionably expresses the wishes OF
a large majority of the people for the re
peal of the prohibitory law. But the
fact remains that the people have been
buncoed on that question by both the
republican candidates. No lawyer in
Vermont can be found who has any re-
gard for his reputation as lawyer who
will say that a referendum such as pro-
posed by both Mccullough and Clement
platforms would result in anything more |
than useless repetition of the peoples
wishes, even though practical and de-
sirable local-option license law should be
passed by the legislature and submitted
to the people for their approval or dis
approval.
The effect would be to dishearten hon
est Iocal-option license advocates who
would refuse to agitate the question
further after such a senseless disregard
of party fealty and democratic advice.
The prohibitory law would still remain
in its present or worse form.
The only way in which the obnoxious
law can be repealed and local-option
license law substituted is by direct en-
actment by the general assembly of a
law to take effect without being referred
to the people, and on the lines proposed
in the democratic platform and argued
by leading democrats who have been Oh
the stump during the campaign.

they will hold the balance of power il
