BELIEVE TWO MORE
DIED IN WRECK
At VERGENNES

vergennes. VT. Dec. 5.-Although all
the persons on the train which was
wrecked on the Rutland railroad. near
this city. last Saturday, were supposed
10 have been accounted for, the belief
persists among some people here that IN
addition 10 tho three women whose bod
les were removed. an unknown woman
and child perished In the wreck.
According TO two Nergennes citizens
Capt. NJ. Daniels and Eugene Chilson,
they found the foot OF a child In the ruins
on the afternoon OF the disaster. Capt.
Daniels says he picked up the entire foot
OF a child. and that Il had been broken
from the Lex about an inch above the
ankle. Mr.. Chilson said he examined the
gruesome object also after Capt Daniels
laid II down beside the railroad track, and
that II was about 3ih inches In length.
Chison says n man whom he took 10 be
a railroad cmployc came along little
later and wrapping the foot in piece OF
paper walked away IN the direction OF
the railroad station.
Tn spite Of this testimony, none OF the
passengers so far questioned remember
having seen a child on the train, and two
Of them have said positively that there
was no such child.

CUMBERLAND
TOWN COUNCIL
HOLDS SESSION

The regular meeting OF the town coun-
ell will be held this afternoon in the town
house. It is expected that something In
teresting will develop aside from the usual
routine business.
NJ. A. Evans, who recently complained OF
tho lawlcss condition I'm the Diamond Hill
section OF the town. has again made a
complaint TO the same effect.
A raid was made several weeks ago by
tho police on a disorderly house I'm that
section. and the inmates we're suffered 10
so on promise OF leaving the state Mr.
Evans. Il would seem. Is not satisfied at
this half-hearted attempt at reform. lie
claims. that conditions are little, II any
better at present than they were at the
time OF his first complaint. An interesting
session is therefore probable this after
noon. Several probate cases will also be
considered at the meeting.
HOUSE BROKEN INTO
Chief OF Police Classy is engaged i'm the
investigation Of a break which was made
IN the summer home OF Mrs. J. r. Bart
lett, which is situated west Of the Mendon
road between Lonsdale and Berkely.
The house is being looked after by a
keeper but he is not there during the night
On Sunday morning when the caretaker
went TO the house hefound that someone
by breaking a window and had ransacked
the premises.
IL Is not known whether the thieves
obtaine- anything or not as there was no
no one who could tell just what the house
contained 1t is believed that the silver
ware and other valuable articles were re-
moved from the house prior to the depart
ure OF the family.
IN PECULIAR CONDITION.
The action taken by the voters OF the
fire district at the annual meeting Mon
day evening leaves matters in this town
I'm a very peculiar condition to say the
least. Not only Is the town now with
out any prospect Of fire alarm system.
but owing 10 the action OF the taxpayers
the town has no fire protection OF any
kind. ON account OF the refusal of the
voters to provide what the firemen con-
slider IS adequate compensation for the
hre company, that body has rendered It's
resignation.
This leaves the property OF the town
in an absolutely defenceless condition as
regards fires. Heretofore the towns
people have had the assurance, that while
the fire department might not arrive so
quickly as I'm some other towns that have
an up-to-datc alarm system, still when
they did get TO work, they always dld
their full duty. The natural consequence
of Monday evenings action is likely TO
he the cancellation of all fire insurance
policies i'm the town. as we'll as the refusal
of the insurance companies TO take on
further risks.
This action on the part Of the fire in
surance companies will probably have the
effect OF waking up some of the large
property owners, who have heretofore
failed TO attend-the- meetings of the fire
district. When the citizens OF the town
who stand TO lose the most by the results
Of this short-sighted policy, decide to ex-
ert their influence I'm the direction Of a
proper fire protection, a special meeting
will be called that will upset the plans
OF those who are responsible for Monday
evenings fasco.

CHAPTER V.

II was the afternoon of the fourth
lay when Jean, fearing lest Laro
night come to seek him, and thinking
hat perhaps Greloire also would be
coming, decided to go to lie Chen
Heureux, Pierre having already gone
out to see some of his military friends.
The air was crisp, and Jean, walk
ing rapidly, was turning the corner of
the street leading down to the inn,
when he saw Laro approaching.
'Ha, runaway" the latter called
out, smile lighting his dark face. Il
was but just coming to see you. put
to sea this night.
Jean started and stared.
Aye this very night with the
'Aigle' set sail for Louisiana" contin-
ued Laro. Would you not like to go
with me-you and Pierre? | will take
both, if you but say the word"
Jeans cheeks were filled with sud
den color, and his eyes sparkled with
excitement But this all passed away
as he said sighingly, Aye, | would
like to go; but"
Then it is but for you to come"
urged the tempter.
Jean paid no heed to this, but in
CURED, why are you going in such
haste?"
Well replied Laro, lowering his
tone. There is in the city a certain
wealthy royalist who has fled from
Paris with his daughter Roselle,
most beautiful demoiselle of eighteen.
He and a few others have made it
worth my while to carry them to
Louisiana, where they will seek new
homes.
Come, lad" he added coaxingly;
make a run of it, and come with me
over seas. Come with me, | say, and
you'll reap more gold in shorter time
than did ever an aristocrat of France"
mot on this trip, Laro," replied
Jean, calmly, but with unmistakabe
firmness. you have said you would
