lieve that the japanese are facing an
almost impossible task in attacking
them. especially with divided forces.
The bridge heads abutting on the
north bank of the Taitse river are
strongly defended by intrenched artil-
lery. while it is understood that there
is strong rear guard still on the south
bank to contest the japanese advance,
thus making the bridge utterly imprac-
ticable for Japanese crossing. The
river itself, therefore. becomes an i'm
portant factor in the general scheme
Of defense.

MORGAN'S
BARN FIRE
Loss of About $4,000 Last
Evening.
FlREMEN WORKED HARD
Blaze Was Hard to Control and
FircDepartment Did Splendid
Service.
FiREMEN WORKED HARD

The most disastrous fire in this viii
lage in months broke out Friday even
ing abont S:45 in W. II. Morgan's
barn opposite Cooper's mill.
The first alarm was the ringing of
the bell at Bradford's and the blowing
Of the whistle at Cooper's. After a
long delay in getting the key, James,
Garfield rang in an alarm from box
56, corner of Beech and Main streets.
A general alarm was sent in five min
utes later.
Eye witnesses state the fire broke out
in three places at almost the same time
in the eastern projection of the build
ing.
By the time the alarm was sounded
the fire was well under way. The hook
and ladder truck and all the hose
companies responded quickly. The
Eagles had on the first stream.
The steamer was sent for and was
placed on Beech street near the pond.
At 10. 10 connections we're made with
this and it continued to pump water
until $3.50 this morning.
The barn was filed with hay and
straw, which was all aAame in few
minutes. Several horses were gotten
out but valuable colt, owned by
Emerson Snow, who rents the Morgan
farm, was suffoeated.
The iremen fought to co1fine the fire
to the eastern poi tion of the building
and by hard work and good Judgment,
succeeded in keeping it away from the
outside of the main part, although the
inside is badly burned. The men
worked all night and had stream on
at 7.30 this morning.
The origin of the conaagration is un-
known. The building was locked up
as usual earlier in the evening. Some
new hay ha' recently been placed in
the barn and one theory is that spon-
taneous combustion occurred. Some
think it may have been set by boys.
The total loss is estimated at $500
and is practically covered by insur-
ance. The property was all owned by
Mr. Morgan except that Mr. Snow had
an interest in the crops.
The work of the fire department was
splendid and above criticism, A vet
eran paid department could have done
no better. The crowd out to witness
the fire was probably the largest pub
lie gathering in Bennington in several
years. Political rallies weren't in it.

penses." Taking the figures. from the
records and vouchers in the office of
the State auditor it is clearly shown
that Mr. Bell was paid by the state in
salary in the years mentioned as fol-
lows:
July /, 1900 to June 30, 1901, 2lS-1O
days at $4 SST2 Al
July l, 1901 to June 30, 1902, 1s4
days at 81 s73e
While it is certain that any man by
glance at the report or table as
quoted above would at once detect
the error as noted, it was thought
best to refer the matter to Hon. o. NJ.
Barber OF Bennington, who was state
auditor at the time of this transaction
for any official statement. This state
ment is addressed to Thad M. Chap
man, chairman of the republican state
committee and is as follows, after
quotations from his report, given
above have been taken out.
WHAT BARBER SAYS.
Mr. Barber says;
1t is obvious from an examination
of the printed report on pages lis
and ll6, or wherever else the expen-
ses of individuals receiving per diem
is given, that the last entries above
charged to Mr. Bell as ''per diem re-
spectivety S596.s4 and s76037 is a
typographical error and that the
same should have been charged as
Expenses" instead of "per diem"
sit will be observed on the pages
referred to and upon all other pages
of the report where per diem and en-
penses are shown, and there are many
such pages, that the item of per diem
is first entered and then the item foe
"expepses. Any fair minded man
examining the report and the pages
in question without any further know
ledge of the facts shown by the audit
or's report itself, would conclude that
the last mentioned ''per diem" should
read Expenses.
Mr. Bell was not paid for and did
not charge to the State, so far as the
same came to my attention as auditor
for more days than they were in the
year, nor for 367 days in the year.
sit is impossible for me, without
having all the vouchers upon which
my report as auditor was made, to
state with certainty for how many
days in each year Mr. Bell received
pay, but during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1901, lie did not receive pay
rs member or secretary OF the
board of cattle commissioners and as
member or secretary of the board of
agriculture for more than 2l9 days in
he aggregate and during the year end
ing June 80, 1902 he did not in the ag-
yregate in such capacities receive
