Confessions of a Burglar.

The Boston Globe Sunday published
a portrait and sketch of George M.
White, now living in Westminster,
whom it designateS as a man who, in
the course of his life, has probably
stolen more money than any other man
alive. The police of hundred cities
and all the thief catchers of the coun-
try know him as George Bliss or
George Miles through his connection
with series of bank robberies. the
loot from which reached into the
millions. Yet White is now without
means and is publishing, through
Bellows Falls printing company, the
story of his criminal career. White,
who is 70 years old, was born in West
moreland, n. H., and was at one time
station agent there for the old Chesh-
ire railroad. He was pal of the no.
torious Mark Shinburn. now serving
sentence in the New Hampshire state
prison at Concord. White says that
ceived thousands of dollars from his
gang for allowing the rogues their
liberty. His prison service has been
about 20 years.
The Walpole n. H., bank was
robbed in war time. and about all the
money and securities it held were
taken White was arrested, and the
jury disagreed as to his guilt. He
was committed for a second trial, and
his bail was fixed at $4,000 White
escaped from Jail. and several years
later entered into negotiations with
the New Hampshire authorities to
drop the charge. The deal was sue
cessful White says that for $4,000,
which he paid a New Hampshire Off
eial who went to consult him in New
York, the indictment was handed him.
t was Immediately torn up, and he
vas thenceforth immune from prose-
,utiOn.

HINSDAlE AND THE BREWERY.
How Residents Of That Town Feel in
Regard to Gale & Co.'s License.

II has developed that since Brattle-
boro has voted no license, every effort
Is being made to bring influence 10
bear upon the New Hampshire state
board of license commissioners to have
them refuse the renewal of the license
of Fred G.. Gale for the sale of liquor
at the Island place, so called, the brew
cry. This effort takes the form of a
petition circulated in Brattleboro
Bell to be given to Gov McLane and in
that way, through political influence.
ii is hoped the result will be obtained
Now to the people of Hinsdale this is
distinctly not a question of license or
no license, prohibition or selling, but
the whole thing to be decided is wheth-
er we wish to be dictated to by Brat
tleboro.
So far as fair minded men have ex-
pressed their views, ii would seem
that the island has been run in salts
factory manner, Mr.. Gale living
strictly up to the law in the conduct
of his business AS the sentiment Of
the town, expressed by vote is indubi-
tably in favor of the control of the
liquor traffic by the license system,
the only reason that may be advanced
for the revocation of this license is
the proximity of the place to Brattle
boro. Now Brattieboro has made no
effort TO petition the license commits
sioners of Guilford or Putney to pre-
vent licenses being granted. In other
towns along the Connecticut river we
fail to find an instance where Yer
mont license town has prevented sell
ing to any neighboring New Hamp-
shire no license town.
We have voted the disposal of our
license money, presumably $1,000, to
the reduction of our floating debt. This |
towns share will be very materially |
if the $500 now paid by F. C. |
Gale were dropped off. While every
one of fair mind is ready to do all pos
sible to prevent intemperance, we fail |
TO see why we should not endeavor to
prevent this attempt on the part of our
neighbors to reverse the towns policy,
whom, If we remember rightly have not I
been over jealous TO assist us in our
troubles. Brattleboro seems to have
assumed in times past that we are a
ace of barbarians and now that they
rave voted no license they wish to car
" their will to the administration of
1insdale. Perhaps by devoting them
selves entirely to their own affairs for
he next year, they will by sheer force
# example have such a clean town,
With no drunkenness and no liquor sold,
hat Hinsdale will be glad to vote no
license and place this town on the
anne high moral plan. At least let us
ope so-but we doubt it.-Hinsdale,
T. H.. Herald.

New Hampshire Fish and Game Laws.

Local sportsmen will be interested
to know of the changes in the fish and
game laws of New Hampshire as a
result of the recent session of the
Legislature of that state. The open
deer season remains unaltered but
several open towns in the northern
counties were added to the list. The
bird hunting season was shortened Is
days, beginning now October / in
stead of September Is. This law APP
plies to woodcock, ruffed grouse, quail
and Wilson snipe. Under the new
law regarding licensing of non-resi-
dent hunters the fish and game COM
missioners and those in their employ
have a right To arrest without a war
rant any nonresident person found
hunting. pursuing or killing any wild
animal, wild-fowl or bird, unless said
person can produce a license. The
fee for such a license is $40.
The fish laws were not changed in
any way so as to affect those who are
in the habit of pursuing this sport in
the Granite state. A large number of
bills were introduced for the placing
of screens in public waters but none
of them passed.

THOS. NC Weigh Is MISSING
MAY HAVE FALLEN INTO WEST
RIVER DURING LAST NIGHT.
Was Employed as Night Man at the
West Dummerston Power Station
of BrattIeboro Gas Light Co. -
Heard from Last at II Last Night.

Thomas McNeigh, night man at the
power house of the Brattleboro Gas
Light company's dam i'm West Dunn
merston, is missing and fears are en-
tertained that he may have fallen into
the West river and been drowned.
The last heard from Mr.. McVeigh was
at IL o'clock last evening when A. O.
johnson. night engineer at the Brat
tleboro power house, received word by
telephone from the West river station
that the water was rising slowly and
that the West Dummerston station
could furnish sufficient power for the
entire system. About o'clock this
morning the lights in the local station
4 began to grow dim and Johnson tried
to call McVeigh to find out the cause.
He was unable to raise him. however,
although he tried at intervals until
$50.
When Joseph Lamonth, the day man
at the West Dummerston station, went
on duty at 80 this morning he found
things in their usual order but no
traces of McNeigh. Lamonth made
careful search in the vicinity OF the
power house and dam but was unable
to find any signs of the night man.
McVeigh's dinner pail was in its usual
place on a small table in front of the
switchboard and his pipe and tobacco
Lamonth at once went to McNeighs
house to see If he had gone home but
nothing had been seen of him there
since 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Word was then sent TO Brattleboro,
and Henry f. Brown. superintendent
of the local station, started for West |
Dummerston about o'clock this |
morning
The employees of the Gas Light com |
pany fear that McVeigh may have |
gone out to inspect the dam during the |
night and fallen into the river The |
ice above the dam went out about 20
minutes before six yesterday after
noon without doing any damage, and
there is no reason to think that any
thing unusual could have happened
since then.
Peter Hopkins and VIII Schorling
visited the power station about
o'clock last evening and found things
in their usual condition. McNeigh
was on duty at that time and appar-
emily in good health and spirits, al
though complaining of a slight cold. ;
He wore a black suit and a dark red
sweater. McVeigh is about 35 years ,
old and has a wife and three children, s
who live in West Dummerston a
short distance from the power station.
He formerly worked as a painter but
had been employed as night man at /
he station since last August. I

ICE OUT OF THE STREAMS.
Connecticut and West Rivers are Now
Clear and at Flood Height.

| The extremely mild weather of the
past week has brought spring along
with a rush, and If the last three days
of the month are indicative of what
may be expected the next, April will
be period of mild, sunshiny days
with now and then a shower to settle
the dust. Since Sunday the snow has
been disappearing rapidly, and al
though there is yet quantity left in
the woods the fields and highways in
the vicinity of Brattleboro are rapidly
assuming truly spring like appear
ance. The ice in the West river as far
as the dam at West Dummerston went
out Sunday but with very little of the
spectacular exhibition that usually ac-
companies its breaking up. The water
was not high enough to bring the ice
into the roads at any point, and no
damage was done to the pumping sta
tion which hardly ever escapes more or
less battering. The ice in the pond
above the dam had not gone out yes
terday noon but the river above had
cleared and the ice Is so softened by
the rain and warm weather that no
damage Is expected
Connecticut river cleared as far up
as the mouth of West river Sunday
and since that time more or less ice
has been coming out between here and
Bellows Falls The ice above the dam
at Bellows Falls went out between
nine and IL o'clock Wednesday night
and the river is now supposed to be
clear as far north as White River juno
tion. During Wednesday night the
river rose rapidly and was unusually
high yesterday morning, receding about
a foot during the day. The interest
which formerly centered in the old toll
bridges fight apainst the flood is now
gone, and comparatively few people
take the trouble to look at the river
The ice in Milestone brook went
Dut Sunday and Monday, and on the
days the stream was at its
greatest height. although nowhere near

A QUEER EXPERIENCE.
Man Blown Through Earth, Water
and Air Emerees Little Hurt.

Richard Creedon, a laborer, was
blown through a break in a tunnel IN
the East river at New York Monday,
March q, by an explosion, carried to
the surface of the water, shot ~ teet
into the air and rescued only slightly
hurt His escape from death seemed
almost miraculous. Three of his COM
panions were rescued in the tunnel
and carried out, all painfully, but not
seriously. injured. The men were at
work in the forward compartment of
! the railroad tunnel under the East
river between Brooklyn and the Bat
/ terry, which is to be used eventually TO
| connect the Manhattan subway lines
/ with the Brooklyn subway lines. TWO
tubes, side by side, are in process OF
construction. The work is being done
by the New York tunnel company.
The Brooklyn end of one of the tubes
has been extended about 10 feet be-
yond the end of the pier line at the
foot of Joralemon street.
Twenty-Five men were at work In
the tunnel when the accident hap
pened Creedon and his three COM
panions were in the forward COM
partment working under a high pres
sure Of air. In a compartment back OF
them is other men were at work. rms
second compartment was not affected
by the accident, as there is bulkhead
between them. Creedon was the first
to ascertain that the roof of the tun-
mel was leaking and that the air was
rushing out into the bottom of the
East river. which was about 40 feet
deep above them. With sandbags he
attempted to plug up the leak, but as
he did so the whole roof was blown
out, and the tremendous force of the
compressed air drove Creedon out

Editor of The Reformer:

Editor of The Reformer:
l have just read your editorial in
last weeks Reformer entitled "Col.
Haskins on Mileage" in which 1 dis
cover an error, which, presumably,
arose from misunderstanding of what
said TO you in our brief conversa-
tion.
At the beginning of the third para
graph you say: when the amend
ment was offered in committee of the
whole house an aye and no vote was
taken, and Mr.. Haskins, by his own
statement, vote No."
l was not present when Mr.. Sher-
man offered his amendment to pay this
mileage, and therefore l did not vote
thereon in committee of the whole,
and / have never stated to anyone that
l did. l stated to You that the urgent
deficiency bill reported by the COM
mittee on appropriations in the second
session of the last congress. carried a
provision to pay said mileage. and
during its consideration in committee
of the whole house a motion was made
TO strike it out; that said motion pre-
vailed. and / voted in its favor; This
was on the 29th day of January. 1904.
You got the statement of my vote in
this latter case confounded with the
former during the last or third ses-
sion.
do not wish to have any one mis-
led as to how / voted upon this ques-
tion, and. therefore write to correct
you have stated my position
and action thereon correctly.
Very truly yours.

on the Stock exchange were cheerful and
were chiefly occupied with the carry-oVer.
The account started well, though business

Home rails generally were firm. Ameri-

PARIS. Dec. 27.-On the Bourse today,
after some hesitation, prices steadied and
