2ND RECITAL
Scored Great Success, Assisted by
Miss Haywood.

The second recital, given by John
Fl, Daley, Pianist, assisted by Miss
SusanL L. Haywood, Reader and Joseph
]. Daley, Baritone, in Academy Hail
Friday evening drew a much larger
attendance than did the first of the
series.
The piano pieces we're for the most
part somewhat familiar. In Mr. Dal-
ey's playing of the opening number,
Schumann's Novelette, in major,
the beauty of the melodious theme was
always apparent
Joseph Daley's first song Tenny-
sons Crossing the Bar" the music
by Sidney Homer, then with great
spirit "Cavilier's Song" by ALI
sen and a rollicking encore which
seemed to fit both voice and person
ality.
Miss Heywood's first effort was a
monologue, an impersonation of the
"lady" book-agent and very good it
was.
Four of MacDowell's descriptive
pieces were given by Mr. Daley; first
one of his sea pieces. "The May.
flower then ITO Waterlily," "The
Brook" 1.-THE Eagle" OF these "The
Mayfower" was distinctly ''best. " In
the music was the "swaying galleon
lunging hugely on' and the low boom
ing of the sea.
Mr. Daley, Baritone, sang
Schumann's "The Two Grenadiefs, :"
and in response to an enthusiastic en-
core, returned to his best style with
'The Bandole".
Mr. Daley, pianist contributed the
y lard Strauss piece, "The Forest
Paun'' and Mendelssohn's "Duetto"
which has majestic, haunting sweet
ness that stays by one, although not
the most familiar of "TheSong without
Words" nor as difficult of technique
as the "Spring Song" which Mr. Da-
ley played remarkably sell. To this

MURDERS
SUSPECTED
Startling Information Trans
pireS at Rutland.
THREE MEN KILLED
Supposed at the Time that the
Killings We're All
Accidental.
THREE MEN KILLED

Rutland, May g. 1t has been learn
ed on good authority that some start
ing information has been given to the
heriff's department ofRutland county
as result of which an investigation
is in progress which will probably
lead to solution of three mysterious
deaths which have occurred in the out.
skirts of Rutland during the past
year and half.
1t is we'll known that the local officers
have always doubted that these three
met their death in the manner which
was most apparent, by being struck
by trains OF carson the Rutland rail-
road-but until recently they have been
unable to find any satisfactory solu-
tion.
1t is now believed that the men were
killed with clubs or some other hard,
blunt instrument at a disorderly
house which is situated near the place
where the bodies were fonnd for pur-
poses of robbery and that their bod
les were then placed beside the tracks
to divert suspicion.
All three of these men were little
known in this vicinity, they being
worthless characters, so less interest
was taken in the deaths than had they
been of different stamp.
The last death was June 18th last.
and the victim was Joseph Murry, Of
Rutland the body being found close to
the tracks of the Rutland road and
the head having the appearance of
having been struck with heavy club.
Beside the body was note purporting
to have been written by the victim just
before his death on which were the
words; ezekiel Eddy nit me with
! club" Mr. Eddy is we'll known busi-
ness man of Rutland and is chairman
of the board of selectmen of the town
J of Rutland. No attention was paid
to the note as it was very evidently
writted by the real murderers to divert
suspicion from themselves. No pencil
was found near the note as would have
been the case haa it been written by
Murry. Mr. Eddy has for some time
done all that he could to break up the
disorderly house upon which suspic-
ion now falls and it is believed that
the writer of the note was actuated all
so by a spirit of revenge.

Crossing at Il.30 Friday
Night.

aged 43 and a prominent farmer and
former lister of the town of Pownal
was instantly killed at l1.30 last night
by west bound train on the Boston
and Maine.
Mr. Towslee had been at the Brook
side inn where he got shaved, leaving
there with his team about Ills. Evil
denly he must have fallen asleep In
the wagon for when his horse came 20
the crossing it turned up the track.
The 1876 train was over half an
hour late and struck the rig about go
yards from the crossing. The horse
and wagon was strung along the

SAVING WOOD
George Peters, Champion Wood
Saver of the World.

George Peters, formerly of Benning-
ton, now resident of North Pownal,
saws three cords of four foot wood a
day using only one saw. When sup
piled with two sharp saws he gets
away with four cords as his daily stint
and thinks nothing of it. George has
spent some years of his life at this
work and more at farming. He now is
said to have $4,000 laid away for avery
rainy spell.
This man who does more work with
saw and axe in one day than the aver
age two men would care to tackle,
thinks nothing of his accomplishment
and goes home at 5 clock under the
impression that he has not seriously
transgressed the labor laws asheworks
hut nine hours a day.
He says that his regular daily stint
is saving two cords of four foot wood
into stove length, that is cutting each
piece twice and then splitting the wood.
For this he receives So, or $3.50 cord
for wood sawed and split.
Peters is a peculiar genius and al
though he weighs only l43 pounds, APP
pears to be absolutely tireless at his
special form of work He has voice
which is fearfully and wonderfully
made. One moment in conversation
with him, the impression is gained that
it is we'll modulated woman's voice
and the next instant it descends to the
depths reached only by some of the
more powerful basso soloists in the
country.
In a quiet chat with reporter yes
terday, Peters said that he was 46year;
of age and is living with his sister II
North Pownal, making an "easy liY'
ing' by saving and splitting wood anc
doing farm work when labor in hi:
specially is sscarce.
He said he formally was accustomed
to hire out by the year and worked ont
year for Elmer Tinkham of this town
who is now serving as Peters guardi
an. His years work for Mr. Tinkhan
netted him S165 for he saved every cen
he received in cash.
He next put in four successive year
for another Bennington man at tn
same rate per year-Sl65-and save'
it all. He says that both these mel
have said that he did as much work a
any three men they had ever employed
Peters indulges in shave and hal
cut annually and was getting read,
for his annual renovation which tool
place soon after the interview. A
present he has several jobs of wood
saving ahead of him, but he believe
he could find time to enter a competit
ion with anyone ambitious OF testing
ability as a wood sawyer with him.

Only a few hundred Cossacks were
on the beach when the japanese ap-
peared They fired a few rounds and
retired to the railroad
The landing is proceeding unopposed
by the Russians.
While it is not officially admitted, 1t
is believed here that the entrance to
Port Arthur is sealed, at least for large
warships
Complete details of the landing are
lacking owing to the interruption Of
communication. No resistance was
made, the few COssacks observing the
movement, retiring when the warships
shelled the shore preparatory to dis
embarkation.
The Japanese regiments were hur-
lied westward to cut the Nilroad and
telegraph communication one Of these
fired on a train conveying the wounded
from Port Arthur.
While the landing was proceeding
Thursday the enemys ships, consist
ing Of the battleships Kikasa, Hatsuse
Shikishima, YashimH and Full and the
cruisers Iwate, Ldsumo, Adsuma and
Asama, made a demonstration off Port
Arthur to prevent the possible egress
of Russian torpedo boats. \ number
of japanese torpedo boats were OBJ
served off Miado island, in Pigeon bay.
1t was because he was convinced
that Port Arthur was about to be cut
off that Viceroy Alexeietf, accompanied
by his staff and Grand Duke Boris,
left hastily On Thursday several
train loads of sick and wounded and
other ineffectives were dispatched
northward
1t is reported here that the Japanese
bombarded Port Arthur early Friday
morning and succeeded at last in clos
ing the entrance, but no official contir-
nation OF the latter statement can be
obtained
The exact hour nj which cOmmunica-
ton with the Russian stronghold
ceased has not been established. The
strength Of the garrison at Port Ar.
thur is not revealed by the authorities,
who will only say that it is adequate
for defensive purposes. 1t is not be-
lieyed that the force there exceeds TO-
600 soldiers.
The fleet must now take a secondary
position, ana the sailors will be used
to man the shore gans if necessary.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff and Vice Ad.
miral BezouuzoT cannot now reach
Port Arthur and will probably go to
Nladivostok TO join the cruiser squad
ron there Rear Admiral Wittsoeft,
who was left in charge of the fleet by
Niceroy AleXcieff, will direct opera
tions ut Port Arthur, Wittsoeft is a
good officer and 1t is believed he will
render excellent service.
The main defense will be of Port
Arthur, where, since the harbor has
been occupied by the Russians steady
work has progressed TO complete the
system Of defense which is just as
effective on the land as on the sea side.
Lieutenant General Stoessel will
have supreme command at Port Ar
thur. He is described as a high class
commander. His recent proclamations
show that he Is lmbued with deter
mination to hold Port Arthur until the
