Joke on OFFICIALS.

The officials of the house of correc-
ton have been very much worked up
over the supposed escape of one of the
prisoners at the institution, but their
worry has now come TO an end and the
laugh is on one OF the officers.
About two weeks ago one of the pris-
oners. who had for several weeks had
the run OF the yard and had been
working outside of the walls, went to
the official in question and asked him
if he could 90 and get mis- heavy win
ter underwear, as the garments which
he was then wearing were too thin for
outdoor work.
The official readily gave his consent.
thinking that the man meant to go to
his cell for the clothes, and he thought
nothing further of the matter until
night, when the prisoner could not be
fonnd. The alarm was Immediately
sent out and hunt began for the miss
ing man. The deputy sherils and
police in all the towns in that part OF
the state were notified and a search
was started in the woods west OF the
city.
The search availed nothing and Jan.
Is the man was given up for lost. That
evening. however, he calmly walked
into the office and asked the turnkey
to admit him to his cell. In answer to
inquiries as TO where he had been the
man stated that he had been to his
home in a town about 20 miles away
after his winter underwear and had
previously obtained permission to do

Three LoeomotIxes coIIIde.

The loss of a life and damage to
rolling stock estimated at nearly
S25. 900 occurred through collision of
three big locomotives on the Boston d
Maine railroad at Cold River station
one mile south of Bellows Falls at
midnight Jan. IA. The wreckage OBJ
structed the tracks all the forenoon.
Oliver Ellison of Bellows Falls, an
engineer, was the man killed. His
fireman. Hosea Wheeler, escaped
death but was severely bruised in
jumping. Indirectly the accident was
due TO the delay of a local freight train
from Fitchburg to reach Cold River at
her usual time. While the train was
standing at Cold River station, engine
No. l,044 backed on the track and
stood in the rear of the freight. Two
other locomotives hitched together,
Just out OF the repair shops at keene.
came along and crashed into the en-
CINE standing in the rear of a freight.
The three big machines became prac-
tically as one for a time, the entire
mass being driven through the ca
boose in the rear OF the train and
throwing two freight cars from the
irons and demolishing them. The
engineer in charge OF the locomotives
from the Keene shops. Oliver Ellison,
and his fireman, Hosea Wheeler,
Jumped. Ellison struck switch and
suffered injuries so severe that death
ensued. Two OF the locomotives were
reduced to scrap iron.

Poisoned BY PORK.

Mrs. Fred Brown Of Whiting, who
died several days ago from the effects
OF some cause unknown at that time,
met her death through the effects of
poison contained in pork which she
and her family had eaten. This fact
was established at the state laboratory
of hygiene in Burlington. Examina-
tons were also made of piece Of the
liver, spleen. intestine. stomach and a
drop of blood from Mrs. Browns body.
Although no examinations have been
made from parts of the body Of Dalton
Brown there Is no doubt but that he
died from the effects OF the same poi
son. Mr.. Brown. who also suffered
from the poisoning. died a. ? o'clock
the morning OF the 10th. being the
third death in the Brown family from
this mysterious malady.
The examinations at the laboratory
were made BY Dr. NJ. J. Niltse, the
director. and in his report he says -
Guinea pigs were given hypoder-
mic injections with concentrated prep
aratiOns of the pork As yet there has
been no development. the reason for
which may be the age or the stage OF
development of the bacteria existing
in the specimen used.
i regret being unable to state
further than that in my opinion the
trouble arises from this strep0therix,
which we are unable to identify for the
reason OF its not growing on artificial

Feed Stuff Famine.

1t may not be generally known, ex-
cept TO those affected, that in Vermont
there is and has been for several weeks
a shortage of grain and feed stuffs
which, in way, is equal TO the coal
famine. This condition is not the re-
suit OF shortage of grain in the
country tor this is ample, but It Is in
the West and the railroads cannot haul
il 10 the eastern markets. The coal
famine is in part responsible for this,
but a shortage of locomotives is the
problem which most concerns the
roads. This particular section of New
England is in worse straits than any
other because the Grand Trunk sys-
TEN, over which most of the western
freights come, is suffering from great
rush of business and a shortage of
cars. locomotives and coal. The
greatest shortage is in the stock of
corn. There is very little corn in all
New England, all the old stock Is
closed out, and as comparatively little
was secured by eastern dealers in the
fall, this grain cannot be bought now
at any price. Oats and mill feeds are
more plenty but there is not enough
of these TO anywhere near fill the de-
mand. just now the situation is not
serious Tor in January the demand
from farmers and stock raisers is
always light, but when the feeding
months of March and April come 1t Is
plainly forseen there will be call for
grain and feed stuff which cannot be
satisfied.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The Burlington union of carpenters
and joiners has adopted a resolution
providing that ON and after May
next, the pay of journeyman carpen-
ter will be 20 cents per hour and the
minimum pay for rough carpenter
will be 25 cents per hour
The Deerfield Valley Co. of VIII
mington has purchased from the Glas-
tenbury Mining and Railroad Co.
some 1900 acres of timber land To-
Gated in the town OF Glastonbury. most
of it in the extreme eastern part Of the
town near the summit of the Green
mountains. Ii is understood that the
price paid was about 81 per acre.
One of the principal owners of the
property was Gov. John G. McCul-
Tough.
Capt. Henry X. Dorr of Rutland,
who recently invented a process
whereby immense heaps OF coal dust,
which have been accommodating in the
vicinity of the coal mines OF Pennsyl-
vania for many years, can be made
into a hard fuel which burns fully as
well as the best anthracite coal, has
just been allowed a second patent for
his invention. Mr.. DOrr has declined
several offers of mine owners to pur-
chase the invention but will lease il to
them. During the past two months he
has been making tests Of his fuel under
all conditions in the various large
boilers about Rutland and the dust has
been found to be equal to the anthra-
cite in every case.
A party of capitalists from New
York city, who have been in Ludlow
with engineers and experts for several
weeks, have purchased the old gold |
mine on the farm OF Joseph Snow and |
will begin the working of the mine
within short time. They will form "A |
company under the Vermont laws as
soon as possible. The men who are |
interested in the project report that
the prospects for getting out a paying |
amount of gold are very bright and
they have every reason TO believe that 1
the venture will be more than a sue
cess. The price which they paid for
the land was not large as the former
owner had no faith in the mine. Sew
eral hundred pounds of ore have been
sent away within the past month by
the prospectors and they report that
the test was decidedly satisfactory.

motormen on the Barre a. Montpelier

before n Girl Promises.

Whole hearted affection is, in the ma
jority Of cases, absolutely essential to
married happiness, but it must be com
bined beforehand with practical com
mon sense. which will enable a girl to
gain clear insight into the character
of the man she proposes to marry.
Girls nowadays are apt to think that
a handsome, attractive and fascinating
lover must necessarily make a good
husband, whereas it frequently hap
pens that he is totally unfit for the re-
sponsibilities of married life. Before a
woman promises to be the wife Of a
man it is a duty which she owes to
herself 10 learn everything about him.
1t is not inQuisitive or mean, as many
girls seem TO imagine, TO inquire Into
his private life and affairs. The time
to find out If your fancy for a mans
looks is indorsed by his life's history
and whether his habits are good and
his tastes congenial is during courtshlp
days. Each girl should scruunize her
prospective husbands character as
carefully as she would a new hat or
gown, and then she should be able to
decide fairly easily as to whether he
is the right man for her to marry
