Not Coming In.

Burlington, March 10-A suit was
brought in county court yesterday by

The Prudential and It's poIicyholders.

The Annual Statement Of The Pru-
Dental, which is published on another
page, shows that the Company has en-
joyed another year of EXCEPTIONAL pros
perity. Over 1912 100000 Of new in
surance was issued and paid for during
1904, this amount being the largest in
the history Of the Company, and one
billion dollars of insurance is now in
force upon its books. The Company also
paid to its policyholders during 1904
over Sl3,000,0O0, which makes the total
payments to policyholders up to date
over 92,o00,000
The Prudential has always had the
reputation of being exceptionally lib.
eral in the treatment Of its policy
holders. Every year the Company pays
hundreds of thousands Of dollars in divi-
dends and as additions to policies, which
We're not stipulated in the contracts

A particularly interesting statement
is published this year It shows that
the Company has accumulated assets
amounting to over Sss,0Oo,OO0, of which
Sl3,000,000 is surplus over all liabilities.
The liabilities are S75,O00,000.
The character of the Investments IS
plainly shown to be Of the highest pos

IS Ir 4 Loop.HoLEa
States Attorney of Franklin County
Thinks He Has Found One.

st. Adams, March 14.-State's At
torney Warren R. Austin Of Franklin
county has unearthed a most interesting
feature OF the license local-option liquor
law that apparently at least makes the
selling Of intoxicating liquor a matter
of small moment with or without a Ii.
cense.
The general Jurisdiction of a Justice
Of the peace under the statutes is linz
tied to the filming OF respondent $40.
The minimum fine under the 1904 Ii
cense law is $500. In order that a
justice Of the peace may impose this
fine he must be given the power by
the act itself or some other act must
specifically give IL Section ia of the
new law apparently intended to give
justices this right, but the section ac-
tually reads as follows;
In all prosecutions for the viola
tions Of the provisions Of this act,
except for intoxication, and where the
respondent enters a plea of guilty, JUS
tices OF the peace and municipal and
city courts may cause persons charged
with such violations TO be apprehended
and committed to prison or bound over
with sufficient sureties for trial by the
county court"
It is plain to be seen that a Justice
Of the peace, under this section of the
statute, is given JURISDICTION only to hold
a man for trial in county court, and
then not in cases Of intoxication and
not where the respondent pleads guilty.
The result is that where respondent
is arraigned before justice of the
peace charged with selling Intoxicating
liquor illegally, the justice Of the peace
can do nothing with him provided he
pleads guilty. In the case Of intoxiea-
tion preceding section gives the justice
authority to impose sentence provided
for that offence.

Horse Car and Trolley Collide

New York, March H. One man, Abra-
ham Miller, was killed and Ave other
persons seriously injured BY collision
which occurred last night between a
horse car and trolley car at the Grand
and Center streets crossing. The colli-
sion was due to the fact that the brake
on the trolley car, which was on a
down grade, failed to hold.
The horse car was hurled from the
track, the team thrown down and the
windows of the horse car smashed.
Miller was riding on the rear platform
Of the horse car. He was thrown to
the track and falling in front of the
trolley car was rolled by the tender for
about forty feet and ground to death.
TO recover the body the trolley had to
be raised with beams. All Of the pas.
sengers in the trolley car escaped injury
but those in the horse ear were all
hurt.

INVEST YOUR MONEY Ar HOME.


While the people Of st. Adams were
agitating their get together plan for
promoting the welfare of this city, a
short time ago, a certain successful
Western man who was loyal to his ma
tive state in spite Of the fact that he
was doing business in the West, laid
down the principle which ought to be
needed by all Vermont people, namely,
that money should be invested at home.
He said in part: "NNhat you want to
do is to get all your people to invest
their money right here at home and
not continue to send it to us. Every
few days have clients that send me
drafts and ask me TO invest the money
for them. Now, Of course, | am glad

even put the money in the local bank
at even 3 per cent. To be sure that
money helps to build up the West, but
it doesn't help st. Adams. On the con
trary it has hurt ST. Adams, for had
it been invested in your city you would
have there 50 much more property to
receive taxes for, instead Of the taxes

to be repaired by your carpenters, in
stead OF being repaired by Western car
penters; more work for your painters,
instead Of wages being paid Western
painters; and last, but by no means
least, another man would be deeply in
terested in the running Of your city
affairs instead Of being interested IN
the affairs Of a Western city and advis-
ing his friends to do as he has done.
These friends in turn advise other
friends, and the result is that thous

One of the officers. now a rear admiral,
who helped get. the monitor back to this

story of the difficulties of that trip. The
monitor could not carry enough coal to

so she was loaded with coal boxes on the
