With the beginning of the collegiate
year the first separate institution in
Vermont for the higher education Of
women win open its doors under the
name OF the Women's College OF
Middlebnry. This is the develop
ment OF the plan for the segregation OF
the sexes in Middlebury College

During heavy thunder shower at
Stowe about 2 o'clock Thursday morn
ing lightning struck the station block,
passing in by either telephone or cleo
trio light wire and igniting the wood
work in the express Office. The fire
burned through the partition and gut
ted the bath room connected with the
barber shop of G. d. Gibbs. When
discovered the fire was under con-
siderable Roadway. The alarm was
given and a lively time ensued. The
flames were subdued by means OF fire
extinguishers. The damage is esti-
mated az $500 and is probably covered
by insurance The flames were con-
fined to the express Office and bath

other rooms by heat and smoke. The
tenements upstairs were occupied, but
the occupants were uniniured.

John Withell, representing the ma
iority Of the stockholders of Queen
City park in their suit against the
Queen City Park association, had this
to say,-"An erroneous impression
seems to have gained currency with
respect TO the decision of Judge Start.
The decision is not a victory for Mr..
Smith and the Queen City Park associ-
alton. since, first of all, Mr. Smith was
attacked only in his official capacity,
and. in the second place, the gist OF
the decision is a denial of Judge Start
for a receiyership until further facts
are ascertained. The Injunction
granted some time ago against the as
sociation. prohibiting it from alienat-
ing or encumbering the property In
any manner-still remains and the de-
cision cannot, from any point Of view,
be interpreted as a victory tor either
side. The situation is the same as
when the bills and briefs were submit
ted to the court. aside from the tenn
porary denial OF the receivership."
