NO TRACE or BATcHELDER.

A press despatch of Dec. 3 from
White River junction says that Chas
Batchelder, ex-state's attorney OF
Windsor county, has been missing
since Oct. 10, and that when he left
home it was feared his mind was
somewhat impaired.
A Montreal despatch to the St
Adams messenger, Dec. 0, says:
Deputy Sheriff H. Fl Peck Of Hart
ford, left here today after an unsuc-
cessful search of several days for
Charles Batchelder of Woodstock,
former states attorney for Windsor
county. Chief Carpenter placed the
entire police force of the city at his
disposal. All the asylums were ex-
amined, but no trace of the man, who
has been missing since Oct. 10, could
be found
1t is alleged that certain irregu-
larities of conduct during the last
weeks of Batchelder's stay in Yer
mont is the cause Of the search. II
is popularity understood that his ac-
tions were either deliberately dishon-
est or the manifestations of an unbal.
anced mind.

White River Road Opens to Freight.

The state board OF railroad com :
missiyners have slightly modified its
order to close the White River Val
ley railroad to all traffic and now
announces that the road will be al
lowed to carry express and to run
freight trains, If it follows certain
speed limits.
The road was closed last Septem-
Der by order of the commissioners
because of the condition of the
bridges along the line. This has
proved great inconvenience to the
travelling public, as we'll as to ship
pers, but they have not been able to
secure the rebuilding of the bridges.
The towns along the line had
agreed to pay $4,000 toward the
building of the road, but because of
delay in completion and dissatisfac-
ton with the manner of construction,
they have never paid anything, and
the company has been without means
to make the necessary repairs and
improvements.
The report of Il e bridge engineer
who mode the inspection last sum
mer was to the effect that the bridges
on the line could only be regarded
as temporary structures, and that
they were generally beyond the
stage of repair"
