Bellows Falls, April 15:-Daniel Nc
Gregor, aged So, a coachman for A. c.
Moore was found in dying condition
under the Boston a. Main railroad
bridge this morning. The first thought
was that he was the victim of an ac
cident but after his death a few mo-
ments later, an examination showed
wounds and bruises that have given
ground to the suspicion that he was
the victim of foul play.
McGregor was last seen here about
s o'clock last evening. He had been

cheek was bruised, both eyes were
blackened and there was an ugly cut
on the back Of his head, combined with
fractured skull

accident theory, have demanded a

Church and Four Other Buildings
Destroyed.

Lyndonville, April Is. Five build
ings in the village of West Burke, 10
miles north of here, were burned early
today, causing loss of about $4,000
The fire originated in the dwelling of
Jansen Allard, and on account of the

troy the greater part of the village.

sistance, but the fremen here was con-
vinced that the local apparatus could
not be used lin connection with the limit
ed water supply of West Burke.
Finally volunteer firemen there placed
the blaze under control after Allard's
dwelling and barn, Bottoms dwelling
and stable, and the Universalist church
had been destroyed, F. T. Porter's
residence was badly damaged.
No one was in the Allard dwelling

HORNS MUST
BE VISIBLE
Judge Tyler Rules Relative to
Deer Killing.

Rutland, April 14.-Judge J. M.
Tyler in county court today ruled that
unless a deer's horns we're long enough
so the hunter could see them before
shooting, it would be illegal to kill
the deer in the open season. Follow
ing the expression of this opinion the
jury returned a verdict of guilty in the
case OF the state against Elmer f.
StJohn of Hubbardton and be was
fined sl00 and costs. st John killed
the deer in question last fall. The tes
timony went to show that the horns
were not long enough TO be seen through
the hair.
Judge Tyler in his charge said
1.-THE view of the court is that the evil
dence of all the witnesses including
the respondent shows that the deer had
no such horns as gave notice to the
hunter that he might shoot him. In
other words, the horns must be visible,
not merely discovered by touch but
they must be of such length as to give
notice to the hunter that he may kill
the deer in the open season..

The Times prints dispatch from its
correspondent at sea off the coast Of

OF
G. II. DARLING
Army and Navy Register Speaks
of His Possible Advancement

Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Charles q. Darling of Bennington is
the recipient of a handsome notice in
the current number of The Army and
Navy Register, urging his appoint
ment as the successor of the Hon VIM
H. Moody of Massachusetts, NJ the pres
ent secretary. Secretary Moody will
retire at the close of the present admin
istration of President Roosevelt and
it is believed that Assistant Secretary
Darling stands an excellent chance of
being promoted to the head of the navy
department
Mr. Darling has been an eminent sue
cess IN his position. The secretary of
the navy is frequently called away
from Washington and in the absence
of Moody the place has been filed by
Assistant Secretary Darling with not
able ability. He has been acting sec
retary several times when a steady
hand was needed, during the Panama
incident among others, and has gain
ed a reputation for looking at matters
with a judgment and deliberate fair
ness which makes his service most val
liable.
In addition to this he has made him
self exceedingly popular with the en-
ployees of the department VINO would
without question, if it were in their
power, also unanimously select him as
tie head Of the department. This
popularity has been gained by his fair
ness in dealing with all matters from
the top to the bottom of the depart
ment and he is easily the most popular
assistant secretary for many terms.
The reference to his promotion in
The Army and Navy Register is as
follows:
"The report of the retirement from
public life of the Hon William H. Moo
dy is once more revived. The ques
tion now is not so much whether Mr.
Moody is going to leave the cabinet
on March 4, because that is an incident
admitted by Mr. Moody and his friends.
1t is quite interesting to know, how
ever, who viii succeed Mr. Moody next
March, assuming that Mr. Roosevelt
continues to discharge the duties Of
chief executive. There do not appear
to be many or any candidates and if
there are ambitions in any quarter to
that end they are discreetly non-com-
initial.
"The only name which is mentioned
is that of Assistant Secretary Darling.
So long as New England appears to
have something like call upon the
naval portfolio. the geographical
amenities would be preserved by Mr.
Darling's selection. The incident,
however, would have much more to
justify it and to engage the approval
of those who know that Mr. Darling is
able to discharge the duties of secre-
tary of the navy with fearlessness,
integrity, independence, and prompt
ness which would be refreshing"
