Bridge Collision.

A freight train going south at 12
o'clock Tuesday, and carrying a large
derrick collided with the Main street
bridge, knocking several large timbers
out of place and tearing up the planking
on the north side. The derrick was top
pied over but did not leave the car A
number of school children were on either
side of the bridge, but a ten-year.old boy
of Lewis Gotta happened to be on the

ing on top of freight car that followed
the flat car containing the derrick.
The boy Gotta was taken off the top of
the car as soon as the train was stopped
and carried home in carriage. He was
badly bruised from being struck with
falling planks, and was stunned by the
fall. That he escaped death seems mar
velous. The boy is suffering from inter-
nal injuries as he is splitting blood con-
stantly. The railroad company has
fenced in the broken bridge and will pro-
ceed to repair it.

A Dangerous Cut.

James Mitchell, Jr., a son of James
Mitchell, residing on Seymour street, aged
about 13 years, during squabble on
Academy street Wednesday noon, while
going home from school, was stabbed
with a jackknife by boy named Arthur
Sheltis, just over his left kidney. While
the wound is not particularly painful the
location of it is dangerous. Young Nit.
chell was escorted to the Office of DIR. w.
j. White by his companions, where his
wound was dressed and he was driven
to his home near the Pulp MILL
The Sheltis lad denies that there was
any intension on his part to cut young
Mitchell but says he was sharpening q
pencil when Mitchell came along, caught
him by one arm and swinging him around
the knife entering Mitchell's back by
force of the conclusion. DIR. White says
the wound is not necessarily of danger
GUS character, but might cause death il

GENERAL ITEMS

The fuss the Massachusetts Democrats
made over the delegation to participate
in the welcome to w. J. Bryan seemed
rather unnecessary, in view of the fact
that the twice defeated candidate for
President has proclaimed himself to be
"more radical than in 1896 year
in which Massachusetts expressed her
opinion of him in an adverse plurality of
173, 200.
Mr.. Bryan, in praising Mayor Tom
johnson for having stopped money
making in the very prime of life" and
given himself unreservedly to public
affairs" expresses the hope that "his
splendid example will inspire many other
rich men to put limit to their accumu-
lations.' Mr.. Bryan's 100000 looks
pretty big to his neighbors at Lincoln
Neb. Where does he fix "the limit" for
himself ?

FOR GOOD ROADS.
Consultation Results in County
Convention at Midd ! bury.

The good roads conference held in the
town hall at Middlebury Monday even
ing was attended by a large concourse
of the most progressive business and
executive men of the village. Judge
Weeks was called to preside and A. w.
Dickens appointed secretary.
The object of the meeting was briefly
outlined by the chairman, who invited
w. E. Loucks, organizer for the Ma
tional Good Roads Association, to present
the matter of good roads to the meet
ing.
Mr.. Loucks explained the manner in
which the association had been very
successful in organizing local commit
tees to forward the interests of the Ma
tional and State Associations, and de-
tailed the great advantages of building
permanent good roads instead of fritter-
ing away the public moneys on the old
system of yearly patching up what has
proved in all the past as a mere sub
terfuge, to expend the money raised
without any permanent benefits.
Mr.. Loucks said that 95 per cent of
the output of the forests and farm have
to be hauled 12 miles to find market.
In Vermont the average haul is about
six miles which costs a good deal more
than 25 cents a ton per mile. With
good roads the expense would be cut
down and marketing be made pleasure
instead of a wallow through mud for
about nine months in the year.
Cn motion an executive committee of
II was appointed as follows: w. H.
Davis, j. H. Stewart, C.gM. Remele, F.
NJ. Foote, c. E. Pinney, Willis N. Cady,
T. P. Burns, F. A. Bond. C. A. Lyman,
J. E. Weeks and A. w. Dickens of Mid
dIebury, G. A. Chapman of Ferrisburgh
and F. E. Foote of Cornwall. This COM
mittee met and appointed several SUBJ

charge. The committee decided to hold
a county convention in the town hall,
Middlebury, on Saturday, September %,
with three sessions, at 10 a. M, one
o'clock and 1880 p. m.
All the recently elected town repre-
sentatives are delegates and they are re-
quested to bring with them as many
public spirited citizens as possible.

A NEW INDUSTRY.
Middiebury's Opportunity to En-
large its Business and In
crease its Citizens.

At quite largely attended meeting
of business men held at the rooms of the
Moosalamoo club, on Wednesday evening
it was decided to start the organization of
canning plant in Middlebury. Some
of the business men of Middlebury, in
connection with Rutland parties who
are interested, have filed Articles of AS
sociation with the Secretary of State and
within few weeks will open subscrip-
ton books for the sale of stock in the
new concern. The plan is to have the
stock sold in Middlebury, Rutland and
New York city. The majority of the
stockjwill be held by Middlebury par
ties, if the plant is started, and four out
of five of the directors will be Middle
bury men,,
Mr.. Geer. the New York commission
man who is interested, will become the
sales agent and be stockholder in the
company. The company will build
early in the spring of 1907 and be ready
to put up goods by June 1st. 1t will be
known by the name of the Middlebury
Preserving Company. Its principal
business the first year will be the can
ming of peas, corn and apples. If the
business prospers other products will be
canned. At least $20,0 900 will have to be
raised to make the venture success,
though the company will be organized
in such way that it can be enlarged to
a $40, 900 concern, capable of handling
the produce of the county. AS this is a
business peculiarly adapted to this Sec
ton and one that brings in a large
amount of money to the farmers, it is
hoped that all will cooperate to make
the enterprise success.
Middlebury has had such opportu-
mites before but has failed to improve
them. 1t would seem that men having
money to invest would see from the ex-
periences of other towns, that manufac-
tories are the best means of building up
a village and act accordingly

Fiddle and Violin.

Fiddle" Is a word that has lost
dignity to such an extent that no
doubt Senior Sarasate whose recitals

entitled to resent being called a
"fiddler" instead OF "violinist." All
the same, fiddle" is centuries older
in our language than violin" and

mer has reached us by some Teutonic
route, and the latter came from Italy
via Provence, both are believed to
go back to the late Latin "vidula" or
"vitula." Since the Instrument So
called appears to have received its
name as one appropriate to the mer-
riment OF festival ("vitulari"- to
keep festivaD, and since "vitulari'
probably meant originally to sacri-
fee calf c'vitulus") we have the
astonishing result that ''fiddle." wi.
