Baby Left on Doorste %,

Between three and four o'clock We'd
nesday morningG. E. Stevens was awak-
ened by team driving by his house,
and heard soon after peculiar sound,
something like child crying.
He arose and hastily dressed and went
down stairs and found large telescope
grip on his front piazza, from which the
sounds came. He opened it and found a
bright, healthy girl baby therein, about
three weeks old. 1t was dressed in good,
plain, but comfortable clothes Under
the child were several changes of better
than the average clothes. Mr.. Stevens
took the outfit to Overseer William
jackson, who placed the child in DR.. NJ.
H. Eddy's charge. They placed it in
charge of Mrs. Preor on the town farm,
where it will remain for the present.
With the baby was left a letter ad-
dressed to Dear Stranger" claiming
the child was born June % and that the
mother died at its birth. Its name is
Queenie," with directions for its care,
including the prescription for a first
class child's food; requesting the parties
with whom it was left to care for it, and
that it would be called for after year,
or so and they would be well repaid for
its care.
About o'clock closed covered car
riage, drawn by brown horse in good
condition, showing signs of long, hard
drive, was seen by several persons. The
carriage contained two women, one old
and the other young. The latter was
evidently in a very nervous, weakened
condition and had her head in the others
lap, who was evidently trying to con-
sole her. They came from Bristol way
and in about twenty minutes drove back
over the same road and were seen by
persons at Fred Foote'S, "Jule" William
son and others. Mr.. Williamson spoke
to them and asked if they did not wish
the sides of the carriage put up, as it
was very warm morning They re-
fused to permit it and asked the way to
Rutland.
Anyone seeing such a team Wednes-
day will please notify at once by tele-
phone or letter William jackson, Middle
bury, so that the parties may be located.
The team was evidently the property of
some farmer, as the horse was in too
good condition for livery.

The School House.

Tuesday night the building comm&ee
opened the bids for the restoration of the
old school house which were as follows:
For general construction, E. j. Cross of
Worcester, Mass, $685. ,772; A. A. Nor
ton of the same city, S23, ,134,50; Charles
E. Paige of Rutland, S21 ,565.79; Isaac
Lavonche of Middlebury, S17, ,154. For
plumbing and heating the highest bids
were respectively $4,000 and S5,593 and
the lowest were by j. II. Stewart of
Middlebury, viz: 81 ,631 for plumbing
and 80 ,967 for heating.
1t will be seen that the combined bids
of Messrs. Lavonche and Stewart tIamount
to S21 All, being $417 in excess of the
appropriation voted May 80, but several
thousand dollars below the next higher
bid. We are very glad that the contract
will probably be awarded to our own
townsmen. We are glad of this, not
only because the job will be done for
less money, but because our own me-
chanics and helpers will be employed
instead of non-residents; second, be-
cause the money will remain at home
and add to the prosperity of Middlebury,
and third, because our own townsmen
will take greater interest and pride in
having good, thorough job done than
will any contractor living in a distant
city.
We are informed that two of the COM
mittee wanted to award the contract to
Messrs. Lavonche and Stewart but that
Mr.. Earle favored letting the contract
to another bidder. AS a result of this
disagreement we understand that Mr..
Earle has resigned from the committee.
This will temporarily tie the hands of
the committee and necessitate the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Earle's successor. To
meet this condition of things, warning
is out for school meeting to be held in
the Town Hall Thursday, July %, 1904,
at s o'clock p. M, for the following pur-
poses, viz:
First: To elect one member of the
School House Building committee,
NiiCoCh bluy ~ ldoU, w LII tllC
caused by the resignation from said
committee of Charles A. Earle.
Second: To see if the district will vote
to amend the last resolution passed at
the meeting of May 23d last, by striking
out the words "twenty-one thousand
in the proviso of said resolution and in
serting in lieu thereof the words twenty
four thousand" so that said proviso will
read provided that the total cost of
construction of said school house shall
not exceed the sum of twenty-four thou
sand dollars"
We think beyond question the voters,
at this meeting, will promptly elect
good business man to fill Mr.. Earle's
place and vote the needed appropriation.
Our school house will then cost us less than
we expected. 1t will be a building that
will be an ornament to the village and
probably the equal of about any in the
State.

The Rutland Strike.

There is practically nothing new in
the situation in Rutland says the News,
and judging from present indications
there are not liable to be any startling
developments for some time to come. In
fact as time passes there is more and
more evidence that the struggle will be
long one. The situation is practically
this: The employers will not treat with
the men because they say that the men
did not tell them of any grievance before
the strike occurred. Neither will the
marble mill owners have anything to do
with the international president, j. A.
Fitzgerald, because they will not recog-
nize him as having any power over the
local workmen. The workmen seem
confident that they will win largely
through the means Of outside aid result
ing from the blacklisting of the Vermont
Marble company's products and the
withdrawal of workmen from out-of-
town contracts. 1t is generally conceded
that the smaller concerns would grant the
men at least part of their demands and
the fight is aimed entirely against the
NeTnlOHI hdIDle company. Florence a.
Mccarthy, a foreman in the Rutland
Florence Marble company's "True Blue"
marble mill, stated that the 60 quarry
men and others who struck Monday
returned to work Tuesday, all thequarry-
men being back but five who had no
notification that the mill would start
running again. The quarrymen at the
Rutland Florence went on strike because
they thought the men in the other COM
panies' quarries would do so, but when
they found that they were alone they
went right back to work, Foreman Nc
Carthy said.
The men yesterday were con-
findent of ultimate success and they
state that the fact that the Rutland
| Florence quarrymen, returned to work
does not weaken their side of the case
any. One man who is prominent in the
Marble Workers union said: 'It was a
mistake to call out the machinists and
quarrymen, anyway. We do not need
them" Officers of the same union have
in their possession half dozen kilograms
telling of work that has been stopped on
as many of the Vermont Mable com
pany's contracts in several large cities.
Relative to the report that has been in
circulation for the past day or so to the
effect that the strikers were gradually
losing ground a marble worker said:
Don't you believe that. There are more
men out today than at any time during
the strike but the officials of the big
company will not admit it,"

Verm ont Weekly Trade Report

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
show that there is a tendency to light
business all over the State, but not more
so than would be expected at this time
of the year. There are, however, in
some sections factors which tend to set
back the business in some lines. The
strike among the beef packing houses in
the west has had its result and effect in
this State. Up to Saturday night there
was plenty of beef on hand to supply the
demand but the raise in prices by both
wholesalers and retailers shows falling
off in amount of business in that line.
The marble cutters strike in Rutland
county has tied up the business in that
line to some extent, particularly among
the smaller dealers.
The report from agricultural districts
reflect a good condition of crops gener-
ally. The hay crop has ripened fast
during the past week and in the south
ern part of the State the farmers have
been retarded in harvesting owing to the
unfavorable condition of the weather
New potatoes have made their appear
dHCe anu are vi SOou quallIy tney COLI
mand good price. The corn crop will
be little late this year. But few ber-
ries have as yet been received and those
have commanded high prices, but the
crop is promising.
The manufacturing industries of the
State, generally speaking, report lack
of orders.
Retail merchants report business done
SO far this year equal to that of last; col
lections are improving.
