Donald Douglass, 16 years old, who
is living at Albion, Neb., has the dis
tinction of having saved the lives of
two boys. Last summer, while at Camp
Douglass, five miles above Des Moines,
on the Des Moines river, while bathing,
he noticed a little fellow 8 or 0 years
old sinking in deep water. Taking in
the situation at once, the boy ran some
40 rods, leaped into the river, reached
the spot, dived and, catching the little
fellow, carried him to a boat near by.
To Donald's presence of mind and his
Quickness of action was due the saving
Of the boy.
Some time later, while camping at
the same place, a little 3-year-old boy
Jumped into the water from boat
moored some distance away. Donald
heard the splash and, turning, saw the
boy just as he disappeared beneath the
surface. Swimming to the spot, he
dived and brought out the boy and
gave him to his excited mother.

VERMONT TRADE REPORT

Bradstreet Tells of Conditions Prevailing
During Last Week.
Advices received from various sections
of the state show that the industrial en-
terprises are fairly busy. The granite
manufacturers are only fairly active, as
it is still early for spring work and some
difficulty is experienced in securing
rough stone from the quarries. The re-
tail trade is we'll maintained considering
the usual dizziness after the holidays.
Money is scarce and considerable COM
plant is heard as to local collections, as
well as sales out of the state. The
weather has been favorable the past
week, although more snow would benefit
the lumber business labor is well en-
ployed and there is no labor trouble re-
ported in the state. Burlington reports
manufacturing business to be good, the
cotton and shoe mills are running full
time and the lumber trade is of usual
volume with prices firm, though the lat
ter are still troubled on account of
scarcity of cars. Wholesale grocers and
other jobbers are doing a good business,
the retail trade is fair, but both the
wholesale and retail trade find collections
slow. Springfield reports the manufac-
turers busy, retail trade good and collec-
tiOns fair. 1t is remarked that business
in general is much better than for some
years, mills and factories running full
time and some over time. Barre reports
the granite shops are busy for this sea-
son of the year with scarcity of rough
stock and collections fair to slow. Man
ufacturing business is good in Bellows
Falls; the mills are doing well and all
lines of manufacture are well employed !;
retail trade is in good condition and col
lections fair. Business both in manufac-
turing and retail lines continue good in
Brattleboro, collections fair. st. Johns
bury reports the condition of business at
that point to be satisfactory; the large
plants are busy; there seems to be a
good demand for labor with retail trade
good and collections fair. St. Adams
reports conditions unchanged. Collec-
tons are slow among the retail trade
which is usual at this time of year.
Manufacturing business in Rutland is re-
ported very good, some of the plants
working overtime. Retail trade appears
to be satisfactory and collections good.
The granite sheds at Hardwick are doing
moderately well, no particular activity
being noted in this industry. Holiday
trade and collections fair.

Verdict Agninst Hallway.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA verdict of
peculiar interest in view of the many
pending suits on account of the tunnel
disaster has been rendered in the SUI
preme court by jury before Justice
Mclean. The Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad appealed from a
verdict of $4,000 damages for the death
of John Frounfelker, and the case was
retired. Frounfelker was a conductor.
On Oct. 8, 1896 he was killed in a rear
end collision like that of last Wednes-

CUBAN FRAUD CASES.
Rathbone, Former Head oflPostal Service,
Called to the Stand.

HAVANA, Jan. 14.-Upon the re-
sumption of the hearings growing out
of the Cuban postoffice frauds Rath-
bone was Unexpectedly called by the
government. The court told Rathbone
he had the right to refuse to testify if
he so desired, to which Rathbone re-
piled that he was glad of this oppor-
tunity to testify. 1t was evident that
Rathbone's frank and honest manner
in answering questions impressed the
court and the judges, who listened at
tentively to what he said when, eX-
planning the details of the working Of
the department of posts, Rathbone
asked the privilege of making his state
ments more clear.
The court questioned Rathbone con
corning the appointments of Nicely and
Reeves. To this question Rathbone re
piled that both men had been sent him
by the department at Washington.
Rathbone said that when Assistant
Auditor j. ID. Lawshe turned over the
office and the postal accounts he high
ly recommended Reeves.
Much time was taken up by discuss
ing the question as to whether or not
Rathbone had issued an order to the
effect that the Cuban postmasters
render monthly accounts. 1t was due
to the fact that the postmasters had
not rendered accounts that Reeves was
enabled to issue many duplicate war
rants, most of which Reeves now says
Nicely cashed and kept the money.
Rathbone claims that orders for the
Cuban postmasters to render monthly
accounts We're issued in June, 1899,
and that these orders were in the form
of recommendations from special
agents that monthly accounts be car
ried. On these recommendations Rath'
bone says he wrote the word ordered,
signing his name below it.
The government contends that the
word ordered" was not written OF
these recommendations when the irreg
ularities in the postoffice were discov
cred. Rathbone produced letters writ
ten to his chief clerk in May, 1900, call
ing the latter's attention to the fac
that the order for monthly inspection
had not been carried out and asking al
explanation. The fiscal asked Rath
bone If it was not his place to see that
his orders were carried out as well as
to issue them. To this the latter re
piled that with all the details of the of
flee it was impossible for him to see
that everything was done.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The Hep

house late yesterday afternoon by prac-
tically unanimous vote. Only two
members out of 80 voted against it.
Messrs. Fletcher Qtep., MinnD and
Lassiter Dem., Na.) were the two vot-
ing in the negative. The opposition to
committing the government to the Nj

The year has witnessed variety of
complications in the city governments
of several of the largest communities In
the state and the proceedings of several
boards of aldermen have came in for more
of less notoriety and caustic criticism In
consequence.
The criminal record for the year 1901
has been unusually sensational. includ-
ing the wrecking Of national bank and
the implication of several well known
and influential Vermonters. There has
been an unusual number of hofncides
also, several men charged with murder
are now awaiting trial, and no less than
three men are now in Windsor prison I'M
der sentence of death, circumstance
that Vermont has never witnessed be-
fore.
Several important public questions
have been widely discussed by Vermont
ers this year, viz: the liquor law, the
consolidation of churches, parochial
schools, Sunday observance, and several
proposed constitutional reforms, includ-
ing, among other things, a reapportlon-
ment in the general assembly. In all
these discussions, growing disposition
toward more liberal views is everywhere
apparent and there is abundant promise
that the near future may see encourage
ing progress in the adjustment of the
laws to meet the new conditions of life
In Vermont. The newspapers of the
state are taking on healthier appear
ance each year, old-style methods are
fast being discarded and the press of
Vermont is assuming its rightful place as
one of the most potent factors for gbod
in the state.
All in all, there is almost everywhere
throughout the state manifest a growing
spirit of liberality of views, tolerance of
opposing opinions, an awakening inter
est in industrial effort, and fast deepen
ing conviction that the time is at hand
when the people themselves stand ready
to take up the march toward still wider
opportunities.-St Adams Messenger.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Samuel W.

pointed by the mass meeting held at
New Rochelle Saturday night to con-

aster, has given out the following reso'
lutions which the committee had for.
mulated:
Whereas, The citizens of New Ro-

day of January, 1902, to consult to-
gether as to their duty in the face of
the awful catastrophe nearly over
! whelming, which three days before
! had fallen upon our fair city, bringing
bereavement and mourning to many
homes; and
whereas, They, after duly and de-
liberately considering the facts and cir
cumstances surrounding that horror
and recalling the grewsome history Of
the Park avenue tunnel, including the
previous slaughters of Sept. %, 1882.
and of Feb. 20, 1891. and taking into
consideration its present condition, did
unanimously resolve that the Park av-
enue tunnel as it now exists is a nui-
sance, unhcalthful and unsafe; a nui-
! sance which can be abated and must
! be abated; and.
Whereas, They unanimously resolv
ed that the moral responsibility for
that dreadful carnage and destruction
rests upon the railroad managers be-
cause of indifference and false ecOno-

railroad managers their condemnation.
