N4RROW ESC1PE.

AS H. o. Thurber was driving his
team toward Barre on Wednesday he
met with very serious accident.
When near Dodge's bridge his horse
became frightened at an approaching
electric car which left Barre about
$50 o'clock and. instead OF shying
away from the car as might be ex.
pected, he turned directly in front of
it. The wheel of the wagon was
struck by tie Car and Mr.. Thurber
was thrown to the ground between
the rails of the track. The fender of
the car struck him feet first, rolling
up and allowing his body to 90 under.
The car was brought to a standstill
almost instantly and Mr.. Thurber was
pulled out between the beam ON the
front of the trucks and the ground.
His clothes and shoes were terribly

Letter to G. G. Holmes.
Montpelier, vt.

Dear Sir: Porterhouse, so much
neck, so much all the way between.
Just so with paint. Devoe Lead and
Zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody
wants the neck; the between, some
say, is good enough for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more, than
between. Lead and oil is between; it
is the oldfashioned paint. But zinc
has come in. Zinc toughens white
lead. Devoe Lead and Zinc is the
paint.
Mr.. John N. Deitel, Fair Haven,
N. Y, writes:
Mr.. Charles Hollenbeck, of this
place, painted his house three years
ago with Devoe Lead and Zinc; his
father painted at the same time with
lead and oil. Today the sons house
looks as we'll as the day it was paint.
ed, while the fathers house has all
chalked off and needs painting very
badly. The father says he will paint
with Devoe next time.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,

torn and bedraggled with mud and his
body wa, almost limp.
He was placed in the car in as easy
position al possible to allow him. to
get his breath and the car started for
Montpelier. When at the car barn
Auctioneer Sawyer telephoned to Dr..
Templeton to meet the car at the
corner of Main and State streets,
which he did, and Mr. Thurber, by
the aid Of two or three helpers, was
able to walk to DR.. Templeton's S office
where he was cared for. He is pretty
badly bruised and complains of pains
when taking long breaths. 1t is al
most miraculous that he was not in
stantly killed as he probably would
have been if the car had gone another
yard. Mr.. Thurber sells gasolene and
eggs from his team in Barre, and
lives on the hill toward Benjamin
Falls from the main road.

SKIPPED HOTEL BILL.

Deputy Sheriff Charles A. Smieh
went coon hunting on Tuesday, getting
up out of a omfortable bed to in
dulge in that sport, The coon" he
was after, however. was a two-leg-
ged one, the erstwhile manager of
minstrel show who had skipped II
Morrisville hotel bill and was wanted
there in person. Sheriff Towne of
Morrisville called up the Jail shortly
before midnight and wanted Sheriff
Evans to go down to Montpelier juno
tion to arrest negro tor him, he hav-
ing body writ for the man, and
having reason to think that he would
be on the night train going south
Mr.. Evans was not at home so Deputy
Smith was called up. He tore him.
self from the arms of Morpheus and
went to the Junction, but the only
darkey he could find on the train was
the porter of the Pullman car so he
returned from the chase empty handed.
1t appears that the man wanted
was named Charles Mccarthy who had
been running the New Boston Minis
trels, but for some reason the financial
results had been unsatisfactory and
the company disbanded in Morrisville
Mccarthy was responsible for the
board bills but left without settling
and papers were at once made out by
Attorney George M Powers for his
arrest. 1t appears that Miss Blanche
Lander, who gave her address as
Richmond, Va, and who was the
leading lady of the company, was
brought to this city Monday by Liv-
eryman A. j. Smith and took the
train south from here after register
ing for meals at the Union House.

MIDDLEBURY SHOCKED.

Middlebury, April 7. Fifteen war
rants charging intoxiction have
been issued by States Attorney James
b. Donoway as the outcome of the dis
graceful rioting on Saturday evening.
Two of the men wanted have departed
for New York and one who left town
has returned. Four of the offenders
answered guilty to the charge before
Justices Dickens and Foole yesterday
afternoon and were fined $40 10 as
their contribution to the festivities,
Two deny the accusation and will
have a hearing next week.
On Saturday last the drinking con-
tingent of this town was augmented
by large delegations from the sur.
rounding country who came here evil
IDENTIFY with the intent to drink an
over Sunday supply The result was
clearly a case of over confidence upon
the part of the majority of the visit
ors and several of the citizens of thi:
place. The throng of bibulously in
clined individuals became so demon
strative during the evening that the
landlord of the Logan House closed
his bar, whereupon the patrons re-
paired.to the Addison House and a
free-f -for-all bar room fight ensued that
with difficulty was closed by the
officer of the law and the landlord,
after some coercion.
The board of trustees held an emer
gency meeting Saturday evening and
appointed special officers, and again
yesterday added to the force on duty.
About dozen more warrants will
probably be issued. This town has
been mentioned as the first in the
State to open its drinking places under
the new law and can also lay claim TO
have given striking illustration of
the effect of such license upon men
who have no desire to restrain their
appetites. Although this was the first
town to open a bar-room in Vermont
it is to safe TO say that if a vote wa
taken now it would be the first to 90
on record as thoroughly opposed to
license.

IN COUNTY COURT.

The case Of Kate Mobus VS.. town
Of Waitsfield has been settled and dis
continued. The town pays 1926 dam
ages and each side pays its own costs.
This case was based upon injuries to
the plaintiff received while attempt
ing to assist her husband from ra-
vine into which he had been precipi-
tated by the breaking of a bridge over
which he was driving in team. The
case was taken to the Supreme Court
to decide the liability of the defend
ant, and the court holding the town
liable under the statute the settle
ment was effected.

SCORES LICENSE BOARD.

Barre, April S.-A wild sensation
was experienced at the city council
meeting last night when Mayor Jack
son read letter from j. L. Callag
han in which he denounced the IL
cense commissioners for their choice
OF men who are TO hold licenses in
this city. The letter said that the
future license holders included gam
blers, anarchists and infidels. - Some
reason for this outburst may be dis
covered in the fact that Mr. Callaghan
was an unsuccessful aspirant for the
office of commissioner.
The council voted to accept the deed
of the water privileges of the Stafford
& Holden Co. and to pay the company
$4,000 for the same. A proposition was
received from the Smith. Whitcomb
& Cook Co., offering to convey the
company's entire plant with water
rights to the city for the sum of $40, =
600 and the personal property at the
apprisal value which is about 81, 600
The council voted unanimously not to
accept the offer,
Chief of Police Brown was empow
cred by the council to call out any or
all members of the special police force
in an emergency. This action was
taken in view of Saturday nights ex-
perience at Middlebury.

tributed directly to selling induced by
the failures Those stocks, United

mated Copper We're notably weak. but
losses of " to over points We're
quite general during the first hour.
The industrials We're conspicuous in
the decline also. Selling by foreign
houses owing to the renewal of un-
easiness over the Far Eastern situa-
ton and the financial conditions in
London aggravated the weakness.
The market fell into a very dull
and fairly steady condition during the
mid session The publication of re-
assuring statements regarding the ex-
tent of the Baltimore financial trou-
bles helped to hold the market. The
announcement OF a second Baltimore
failure, that of the Union Trust com
pany. reawakened acute uneasiness
and the whole market fell violently

Washington. Oct. 20. = Minister

state department that the Colombian
government is still considering the
canal question and that the commit
tee having the matter in charge has
submitted a report upon the extension
of the concession to the Panama Canal
company from 1904 TO 1910. The dis
patch is ambiguous and the depart

tee has recommended the invalidation
OF the concession and return to the
company of 81 1.0U0, 900 which was paid
for it, or whether it favors confirm
ing their concession. The report is
to be printed and discussed In the

canal this government will not act
until il has been determined that a

BIG FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS OF
BALTIMORE FORCED TO SUS-
PEND BUSINESS.
GENERAL PUBLIC GREATLY SURPRISED
COLLAPSE SAID TO BE DUE TO
EXTENSIVE LOANS TO RAIL
ROAD COMPANY.

Baltimore, Oct. 20.-The doors of
the Maryland Trust company were
closed during the morning to the great
surprise of the general public, but not
to financial circles. Last week the
Maryland company had a,.1est com
pleted arrangements for iOea OF $2,-
600 900 in London, but on Saturday
afternoon, according to the admission
of company officials here. the pros
pective lenders abruptly withdrew
from further negotiations. 1t was this
failure to realize available funds
which caused the suspension.
There are many rumors rife as to
the causes which brought about the
failure, but according to a preliminary
statement by the company officials
and by Receiver Allen McLane the
suspension is solely due to large loans
advanced to the Vera Cruz and Pacific
railroad. 1t is said that these loans
aggregate in excess of $6000,000
The Union Trust company, another
large concern, suspended later in the
day. Miles White, Jr, was appointed
receiver of the company.
First Failure Causes Second.
Miles White, Jr., the receiver, who
is one of the vice presidents of the
Union Trust company. states that the
closing of the doors of that company
was due to a run upon it by depoS-
itors in consequence Of the announce
ment of the failure of the Maryland
Trust company. 1t is stated that there
are no business connections whatever
between the two suspended companies.
The announcement of the failures
caused intense excitement in financial
ana business circles. Bankers and
financiers generally. however, com
bined to allay whatever of paniclly
feeling was made manifest and by as
surances that the troubles of the COM
panies were only temporary.
business was practically suspended
on the Baltimore Stock Exchange dur
ing the day There was large at
tendance, but brokers, realizing the
nervousness il financial circles and
the hopelessness OF Offering stocks
and bonds except at material reduc-
tions in prices, concluded not to force
sales
Holders of securities were advised
by bankers and brokers not TO sacrifice

TRAVELLER CRANE ON NEW PITTS
BURG BRIDGE DROPS INTO
MONONGAHELA RIVER.
CRASH SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED
WCRkMEK ON WRECKED SECTION
NOT WARNED IN TIME TO
MAKE THEIR ESCAPE.

Plttsburg, Oct 2o.-Eight men were
badly hurt by the collapse of a trav.
eler crane on the Pittsburg end OF the
new Wabash railroad bridge over the
Monongahela river. The dead are:
~. j. McCloud. George Wells, G. w.
Keitlinger, William Kempton, c. l..
Fleming, Fred Sallinger Frank Dalby
and J. Campbell. The missing are
Edward Morris and James Simmons.
The bridge is of the cantileyer pat
tern. being constructed by the Ameri-
can Bridge company for the Wabash
railroad. and is building from both
sides OF the river toward the center
by means OIL overhead travellers.
The men had been at work on the
Pittsburg end but short time when
suddenly the traveller, which is pro-
jected beyond the finished part of the
bridge. dropped and fell, landing on a
section OF the bridge which was being
placed in position. So unexpected and
sudden was the crash that few of the
Workmen Oh the wrecked section were
warned in time to escape.
The falling bridge landed on top of
Z barge load OF steel anchored at the
pier and several of the workmen there
We're carried down.
John McTighe, cousin of the su-
perintendent OF police, who is a
blacksmith helper employed at the
City machine shop, happened To be on
the Monongaheia wharf watching the
men at work when the accident oc-
Cured. McTighe, in giving descrip-
tion Of the accident, said:
Eyewitness Describes Accident.
"The men were preparing to ram in
one OF the pins on the bridge when the
accident took place. Before | knew
what had happened | saw the entire
top OF the traveller collapse and the
next minute the men We're falling
through the air. One of the men who
fell from the top of the structure
alighted on his head on the barge and
rebOunded several feet, falling into
the water. His crushed BODY was
taken out later.
"One man was at work some dis
tance above the barge, having hold
Of one OF the ropes which was used in
hoisting. He managed to escape"
When the traveller snapped the
hoisting engineer realized what had
taken place. He opened the whistle Of
his engine and blew a loud warning.
This continued until the breaking sec
tions Of the bridge brought the steam
pipes out of gear. His warning, how
ever, had been heard by the foreman,
who was In the middle, and by several
men at work in the barges under
meath the bridge. They scrambled to
tho planks and most of them got
ashore. One of the men. in hasty
flight, fell from one of the gangways
and had to swim ashore
The portion Of the structure which
gave way, allowing the men to fall
into the river fully 200 feet below, is
known as "cantilever crane" The
"traveler" does not form part Of the
bridge structure itself but enables the
placing Of additional portions of the
span.
