FATAL ACCIDENT.

Orsemus Sallies, a workman on the
reconstruction of the Central railways
bridge near the Sabin place, was in
stantly killed this forenoon about
eleveno CLOCK A block of granite fell
from the pier above where Sallies
was working, struck him in the breast
killing him instantly The ambulance
of Johnonotts and Hall was sum-
moned and the body removed to the
udndertakers rooms.
For some time after the accident no
one employed on the bridge, not even
the contractor could tell who the dead
man was, His son, Doritt, lad Of
some sixteen years, is night watch
man ON the bridge. He was asleep at
the time of the accident. When it
was surmised who the man might be,
the son was summoned--about tw elve
o'clock-and instantly identified his
father.
Mrs. 'Sallies, who is a travelling
agent selling corsets, was finally To-
Gated in Morrisville. She was in
formed by telephone of the death If
her husband, and fell into a swoon
from which she emerged at about half
past one, and will arrive here by the
evening train.
Besides the members of the family
already named there is son, Ment,
five years old. The family had been
living at Walter Doyle's on Putnam
street.
1t is said that Mr.. Sallies carried
two policies, a life policy of 81, 600 in
the Metropolitan, and an accident
policy, the particulars Of which are
not reported
Mr.. Sallies' age was forty-two
years. He came here from Stowe
about two years ago, and till about
two months ago he had been con-
ductor on the electric railway. The
name is not unknown, one of the
family, a relative, being candidate
on the social democrat State ticket
in the election OF 1900.

mento of filial affection, DR.. Wheatley
had purchased for the occasion an oval,
sterling silver tray 10xl3 inches, on
which is engraved the following in
scription: Nathaniel Wheatley, the
date of marriage, Jane G. Barnes Hall.
On the left of the inscription is the
Wheatley coat of arms, which dates
back to Sir Nathaniel Wheatleigh
(Wheatley) who was knighted in Eng
land in 1910. On the right of the in
scription is the Tenney coat of arms
distinguishing the Sir Knight, from
whom Mrs. Wheatley is distinct lin
cal descendant. Hon. Marcus Peck
in well chosen words, made the pre-
sentation speech, and DR.. Wheatley,
in behalf of his parents, and in his
customary happy mood and pleasing
manner, responded with an explana-
tion of both the Wheatley and Tenney
coat of arms, and related other his
toric data, especially interesting and
appropriate at this time, among which
the fact that gentleman surnamed
Wheatleigh (Wheatley) distinguished
himself by circumnavigating the globe
with Sir Francis Drake. Other pleas
ing remarks were made by the Rev.
Mr.. Abercrombie, Judge Bigelow,
Deacon William Graves, Deacon M. S.
Wheatley, William Clark, Jesse Wheat
ley Freeman Richardson and Mrs.
Urial Clark. The evening passed
pleasantly, and after light refresh
ments were served the company dis
persed, wishing the venerable host and
hostess many happy anniversaries of
their wedding day and with each, the
presence of their most hospitable son..

Montpelier. Jan. /, 1908.
We regret to advise our customers
that we will close the gas department
of our business on February /, 1908,
and will at that time cease to supply

inteption to continue this business as
an accommodation to our customers
until such time as the Capital City
Gas Company is in position to furnish
them with gas, although we have been
operating under very heavy loss for
many months; we now, however, find
it absolutely necessary to take this
step both on account of the coke mar
ket and the condition of our mains.

The representative of the Capital
City Gas Company informs the Jour
nal that the company is aiming to
begin to furnish gas on February l.,
and expects to be able to supply on

DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW


The great editors are still exercis-
ing their mighty intellects on the
Indian commissioners recommended
tions concerning Indian names. The
New York World says:
"Mr. Roosevelt was welcomed to
Cinnabar by Black Bull, High
Bear, Crow Ghost, Medicine Word,
Red Tomahawk and others equal
ly dear. Yet these are the names
which Indian Superintendent Jones
would replace with Smiths,
Browns and Robinsons. Men have
been lynched for less: ...
When the educated Japanese and
Chinese first we're introduced into high
society in this country and taken to
a fashionable ball. they looked on
with amazement. Their first remark
was: "Why don't you hire your dane
ing done instead of doing it your
selves?" When one says to an Ind
ian: why do you have names like
High Bear and Black Bull? Why
don't you name them simply Bear and
Bull like the white people do?'' he re-
plies: did you ever see a bull that
was not black, brown or some color,
or a bear that was not high up, low
down or on the level ground? To say
bear or bull alone by itself is non
sense. 1t is to say something that
can't be-" That things look different
from different points of view is one
of those things that the great editors
cannot comprehend.
The Washington Post calls Grover
Cleveland "the gold standard mar
tyr" and declares that the jibes now
and then found in the republican pa
pers concerning him are in very bad
taste. To that The Independent
agrees. The republicans used Grover
Cleveland to get themselves back into
power, for if Cleveland had not proved
traitor to democracy they would have
been out of power until this day.
However, as soon as the republicans
were in the saddle they forgot all
about the gold standard and went to
printing paper money by the ream
and coming silver by the ton. They
have increased the currency as it nev-
er was increased before by the coin
ing of silver and issuing of national
bank notes. So Grover Cleveland's
martyrdom for the gold standard was
all in vain, save for the fact that he
went into the White house a poor
man and came out rated by Dun and
Bradstreet at $3,000,000. And the Post
still continues to talk about Sound
money"
Judge Hanecy of Chicago, one of
the Lorimer ring, spread the injunc-

Under pressure from Governor Gar
vim and the democratic minority in
the Rhode Island legislature, a bill
was passed abolishing the fee system
under which the sheriff of Providence
was rapidly becoming millionaire
and put that officer on salary. Then
the sheriff resigned his chairmanship
OF the republican state committee, the
Craftsmanship of the city committee
and that OF the ward in which he
lived. He said if he was only to get
salary of few thousand a year, he
would confine himself to the duties
OF his office and some one else could
look after the politics of the state.
All OF which goes to show who has
been paying the bills to keep Aldrich
in the United States senate.
The Mutual and Equitable life in
surance companies of New York have
gone into the bank merging business.
Those two companies control the Ma
tional Bank Of Commerce and the
Western National. They are to be
merged and together they will
have $2O,00O,O00 capital, a surplus of
$10,0OO,OOO, and deposits amounting to
100000. The new bank will rank
as the second largest bank in the
United States. Rockefeller's City Ma
tional has capital of $25,000,000 The
management of both these great in
stitutions are said to be very friendly
and together they think that they
will have power that will not only
rival that of the government at
Washington, but will be able to over
ride it. On with the dance.

General Corbin declares that the
opposition to him in the METROPOLITAN
club at Washington was instigated
by man who had for several years
been drawing salary of 5000 per
month as secretary Of a commission
which never held a meeting, and who
was some time ago ousted from his
sinecure by the secretary of war upon
General Corbin's recommendation. It
seems to The Independent that that
answer proves too much. Why did
General Corbin and the war depart
ment allow man to draw a salary
of 5000 a month 'for several years"
who rendered no service at all? Again
it might be asked how many more Of
that sort are there in Washington?
