F. z. Dickinson Severely Injured,

Fred Z. Dickinson was severely in
iured about IL clock Tuesday morn
ing in an accident which took place on
the Putney road about two miles north
of this village. He had been to the
farm of F. A. Sargent on business and
had Just crossed the bridge below the
farm on his return when one of the
horses attached to the carriage In which
he was riding took fright at COW in
the road. Will Brown, who was driv-
ing Mr.. Dickinson on account of the
illness of the regular coachman, turned
the pair to the left side of the road in
order to get the frightened horse as
far away from the COW as possible. AS
he did so the horse SHE'D suddenly and
the wheels on the left side of the car
riape went down the embankment on
that side of the road. The vehicle was
at once overturned and Mr. Dickinson
was thrown out, striking heavily on his
left side and receiving the weight of
the driver who fell upon him.
The horses ran as far as the Bemis
place. a short distance below, where
they turned into the yard and were
caught Mr.. Sargent was notified of the
accident by his wife who saw it from
the kitchen window, and he at once
went to Mr.. Dickinson aid. The lat
ter was unable to rise and was in great
pain. AS soon as possible Mr.. Dickin-
son was placed in an express wagon
filed with robes and taken to his home.
1t was supposed, after the first exam
nation by his physicians, that his left
hip had been fractured, but upon FUR
tber examination Wednesday it was de-
cided that the injuries consisted of Sc

Mr.. Childs was man of broad mind,
careful Judgment and sound principles.
His firm friends included not only
those with whom he was associated
most intimately but many who were
the recipients of his silent charity. He
did many good works, but his reticence
about them prevented the extent of his
generosity from becoming known to the
public. As a citizen Mr.. Childs was
one of the best. His interest in the
welfare of the town never waned, and
no project for the betterment of the
community was without his support.
He was a man of excellent judgment
in business affairs. and his methodical
habits made him especially successful
in his chosen vocation.
Politically. Mr.. Childs had always
been democrat, and in former years
took an active part in state and local
campaigns. From 1883 to 1894 he was a
member of the democratic state com
mittee and had served at various
times as chairman of the democratic
county and town committees. He was
an excellent organizer in matters OF
this kind and had been in the forefront
of many vigorous political battles. His
last active political work was done in
behalf of the late DIR. james Conland
who was sent to the legislature in 1902
and who was one of the few democrats
who have represented Brattleboro. Mr..
Childs was a member of Brattleboro
lodge, A. +. & A. NJ. and of the Yer
mont Wheel club. OF the latter organ
ization he was for two years vice-presi-
dent and served as a member of the
board of governors and house com
mittee at different times. When the
club leased its present quarters In
Grange block Mr.. Childs was placed at
the head of the committee in charge
of furnishing the rooms, and it was
largely through his efforts that the
club became possessed of one of the
finest homes in the state. Mr.. Childs
had always been interested in meteor
ology and until recently had kept care
full records of the weather conditions
in this section. He was one of the
pioneers in the movement which re-
suited in road to the summit of Wan.
tastiquet mountain, and for several
years maintained an observatory there.
Mr.. Childs s two sons will arrive
from the west this afternoon and fu-
neral arrangements will then be made.
II is probable that the funeral will be
held Sunday afternoon. Rev. NJ II.
Harris of Watertown, n. Y, formerly
pastor of the Universalist church here,
will ofliciate.
Mr.. Childs carried over 100000 of
life insurance. shortly after Gen.
Estey 5 death four years ago, he took
out a policy for $4,000 in the New
York Life Insurance company, and he
already had over that amount at the
time. in other companies.

larly to the attorneys of Mrs. Rogers. When
Mr. Fits learned OF it he had the returns
made over in which solitary confinement was
changed to close confinement, as 1t was
against the statutes TO place the woman in
solitary confinement The startling feature
was in regard to Mr.. Lovells accepting SER
vice from Mrs Rogers's attorneys, which
was brought out by the testimony of the wit
ness that her attorneys offered him service
Of citation which he accepted, on their
statement that II would cut down the ex'
penses.
Mr. Lowell was not aware of the nature
of the document which was worded to the
effect that the case of Mary Rogers would
be entered at the supreme court the first
day of the term. This differed from the
usual citation in that instead of 30 days
after date it read the first day of the term.
The result of this would have been that
the case would have been entered then, and
when the necessary time for the motion to
be made had elapsed, il would have brought
the hearing after the Thanksgiving recess,
and decision could not possibly have been
made before Dec. s, the date of execution
This would have necessitated again repriev.
ing the condemned woman. AttorneyGen-
eral Fits discovered what Mr.. Lowell had
done in time, and caused another citation to
be drawn up.

motormen and conductors at Labor temple
yesterday afternoon on the<e -nefits of or

held Tuesday night a number OF new menu

dozen or more were taken in yesterday att

Il think nine hours a day is enough for

IT would favor an eight-hour day in most
occupations, but in ours 1t is not so prac-
ticable on account of the schedules and
the fact that cars are kept on the street
eighteen hours. The schedules can be ar
ranged, however so as to give a nine-hour
