have been another such storm as that
of November, 1898, when steamer

i'm the wreck of schooner Il. Arcular-
ius near Tarpaulin Cove; the wreck
of the schooner Nautilus at Giouces-
ter. and In the plight of the ferryboat
port Morris. which ran ashore In New
York harbor. Ample warning was
given by the weather bureau, Satur-
dav. of the approach OF the storm.
and to this warning doubtless Is due
the comparatively small number OF
wrecks and disasters. The storm re-
suited in the most important tie-up
of wire communication that the east
ern states have experienced since the
snow storm of 1888, disarranging train
schedules and Gripping business in
general. The general breaking down
of wires was almost entirely respon-
sible for trouble on the railroads.

highway between Rutland and North
Shrewsbury is lined for miles with
piles of little green trees awaiting

The work of cutting the trees is done
by New York city men, aided by a
gang of local workers. 1t is estimat-
ed that during the next few weeks,
thousands of trees will be taken from
the mountains of Rutland county. Tne
business is said to be a profitable one
for so short a season, the trees sell
ing in the metropolis for fancy prices
and the expense of getting them there
amounting to very little. The price
paid for them this year is one-half a

section are said to be indignant al
the legislature for even thinking OF
restricting this business by law.

Adolph Weber has been placed un-
der arrest at Auburn. Cal, charged
with the murder of his parents, sister
and young brother Thursday night
Nov. 10. and with having set the fam
ily residence on fire afterward to con-
ceal the crime. The latest theory Is
that the murderer shot the father
first; then as the sister appeared IN
the hall he shot her and then the
mother, who ran to the telephone TO
call for help, at which time she re-
ceived the second shot which pene-
trated the body just under the left
arm. The child being the only one
left the murderer struck him over the
head and felled him. The operator at
the central telephone office says that
the line to the Weber residence is one
which showed busy at about half
hour before the fire was discovered.

involved the commissioner has decid-
ed it is not unlawful for railroad
operated as a common carrier ana
owned by a shipper to make joint
rates with other carriers and receive
dividends of such rates but 1t is I'M
lawful for any carrier to grant an ex-
sessive dividend of rates to another
