Fiat Wheels Come EasiIy-WorE of
Repairing Them.

Probably nothing is so constant a source OF
Worry to the manager Of large stable whether
II be a private or public livery. as the posi-
bility that horses win go lame on the road. The
best OF roadsters is likely to start out in perfect
shape any morning and return lirnping from some
br1ise or sore place. the development Of which
was entirely unforeseen. In the same way, the
bane OF the operating department OF trolley com
pany is the fact that are likely at any time
to become "lame," or, in other words. to develop
a fiat wheel.
The fiat wheel is a double edged terror, in that
1t is a source Of expense to the trolley company
and OF annoyance to the travelling public. Every
mile that fiat wheel runs is a matter Of wear
and tear the itself and the rails over which
It travels, to an extent which only an engineer
can appreciate. When It is considered that the
three big trolley companies in and about New
York-the New York City Railway Company, the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and the Public
Service Corporation of New Jersey-operate in the
aggregate about eighteen thousand cars. and, ac-
cording to experienced street railway man,
about per cent Of the Of company go to
the repair shops with fiat wheels in each month, It
becomes apparent that the hat wheel plays no
small part in the everyday operating problems OF
the local street railway companies.
For all this disturbance the occasion seems in
adequate-a little spot no bigger than haIf-eollar
and TO the unframed eye scarcely percaptibIe at all
Even If the trolley company were able to ignore
utterly the comfort OF its patrons. it would still
be common sense economy for it to rid itself of
fiat wheels with the least possible delay. But the
authorities Of a traction company are not always
informed OF the existence of a flat wheel the in
stant the evil comes into being BY far the most
usual causes of the trouble sudden applica-
Loh OF lIie brakes with a VlgoF which should be
reserved for emergencies, and a failure TO release
the brakes before the current is turned on again.
In operating through crowded streets it Isl Of
course, frequently necessary to stop at once,
no matter at what cost to the equipment, and no
amount of careful inspection will always insure
the complete release Of the brakes. On the other
hand motorrnen are not infallible, and careless
ness Is sometimes responsible for the damage. In
these cases the motoruan is apt to forget to re-

SHOT TWO BROTHERS
Frank and Andrew Blanchard
Seriously Wounded in ARRAY
They Were "closing On" George Niles
When He Fired-NIles Held for Trial
Under $500 Ball.

George Niles, chief electrician OF the
Springfield, VT, electric railway company,
about 100 Sunday afternoon, shot Frank
and Andrew Blanchard, brothers, wound
ing the latter twice. Only three shots
were fired.
The affair took place at Gould's mills.
midway between Springfield village and
Charlestown, N. H. Niles boarded at the
house kept by the mother and sister OF
the Blanchards, the brothers also maxi
ing it their home when they are in
Springfield. 1t is said the Blanchards
had been drinking
According to Mr.. Niles, early in the
afternoon the Blanchard brothers were
having an alteration with two Italians
in front OF the house and their mother
and sister went out to persuade them to
desist. The boys later came into the
house and began to berate the women
for their interference. Niles, who was
in his room at the time. told them to
stop, and, according to his version, they
turned upon him.
Intending to frighten them OFF. he drew
revolver and warned them not to ap-
proach. This did not phase them. one OF
them saying that he did not care II Niles
had cannon. Both men closed in on
Niles and attempted to strike him, and he
began shooting.
1t was his intention, he said to hit
them in the legs, and in the case of
Frank he was successful, wounding him
in both, one bullet striking him in the
left hip, coming out lower down on the
other side, and the second striking him in
the right leg just above the knee, coming
out through the calf of the leg His in
tention to shoot low miscarried in the
case of Andrew, and the bullet glanced
off the pubic bone and came out through
the right hip below the groin. Notwith-
standing their wounds, the men closed
in on Niles, and one OF them wrenched
the revolver from his grasp, but dropped
1t in the scuffle. The men were so close
together that Niles was able to get his
arms around both of them, and the
three fell in a heap.
Neighbors, hearing the shots and the
commotion, rushed into the house and
found the three 'men struggling on the
floor and separated them.
AS soon as Niles was able to walk ne
telephoned to Deputy Sheriff Fairbanks.
telling him what he had done and asking
him to bring him a physician. He also
telephoned the circumstances to Justice
of the Peace NJ. L. Lawrence
Deputy Sheriff Fairbanks. accompanied
by Drs. c. B. Doane and E. H. Gillette,
went Immediately to Gould's mills The
wounds of all three men were dressed
those OF Mr.. Niles not being serious. II
is thought those of the other men will
not result fatally unless blood poisoning
develops.
A preliminary hearing was called fol-
Monday but the case was continued until
Sept. II. Niles furnishing bail in the
sum of $500.
Niles was for many years a resident ol
| Brattleboro and was employed some time
at the electric lighting station here

The Presentation Of ncarollna.p

II. Grattan Donnellys New American
four-act play Carolina" was given its
first presentation on any stage Saturday
night, in the Auditorium. 1t made a
favorable impression upon the first
nlghters" who crowded the playhouse
and who demonstrated their approval by
hearty applause Southern plays with a
more intense human interest than Caro-
lima" possesses have been given in Brat
tleboro with greater fnesse and realism
than characterized the work of Saturday
nights cast. Nevertheless, the entertain
ment was a success, measured both by
the standard of the drama and by its
first production, which will be improved
upon by subsequent presentations The
length of the first performance was
a trifie over three hours, but considerable
time was required in changing scenery.
The scenery was new and attractive and
the effects, particularly the spectacular
electric storm in the third act, were vivid.
The role of Carolina Tolliver, the lead
ing lads, was taken by Helaine Hadley,
the original blind girl in Quincy Adams
Sawyer" She displayed marked talent
as an emotional actress. Priscilla Filkins,
a prim maiden lady, was impersonated
by Alice Washburn in a way that pleased
the audience. In the part OF Stella Jor-
dan, a Boston girl, Phila May acted with
good judgment, as she had on former
occasions in Brattleboro. The unsympa-
thetic part of Richard Quigg, of carpet
Dagger ancestry, with adamantine heart
was well taken by Corliss Giles, while the
acting OF John F. Weber as Jack Dur
rell moonshiner, Lewis Wood as Judge
Bulstring, Robert Thorne as DR.. Sterling
Duke, Benjamin Bradbury as Paul Har-
ward and George Gordon as Wilbur Grant
Of the secret service, was uniformly good

Letter to Grange store.
Brattleboro, VT

Dear SIR: If you could get the exclusive
sale of a sweeter sugar for five miles
round-h pound as SWEET as a pound of
usual sugar, and cost no more-you' d
jump at it, wouldn't you?
There wouldn't be 100 pounds OF any
other sugar sold in year in your town;
you'd gobble the trade; and 1t wouldn't
hurt your whole business.
Devoe is like that among paints; 1t is
twice as sweet as some; 1t is sweeter
than any; not one exception; one gallon
is two or one-and-a-half or one and
three quarters.
Better than that paint has to be paint
ed; that costs 50 to 81 a gallon. A gallon
saved is 50 to 81 saved in labor, besides
the paint
Even that isn't all, A gallon Devoe
put on wears as long as two gallons put
on at a cost of 50 to 81 a gallon and two
gallons more put on at 50 to 81 gal
Ion. Count all that. The paint that
wears double costs less by gallons OF
paint and gallons of painting; that's
about SIS a gallon for those superhuoui
gallons.
That's as good as a double-sweet sugar
isn't It?
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & CO.
New York
