Two Roads to be Merged in
a New One
NEAR EAST MONTPELIER
Montpelier & Wells River Railroad to
Do the Work-Barre and Berlin
Towns Each to Stand S Per
Cent. Of the Cost.

The railroad commissioners at the
hearing in Montpelier yesterday after
noon ordered two grade crossings abol-
ished on the Montpelier & Wells River
railroad on the road to East Montpelier
and near Kinney's mills. One Of the
crossings is in Barre Town and one in
Berlin. The commissioners will issue
an order closing the two roads and or
dering new highway built, 50 as to
avoid both the crossings. Each town
viii be assessed FIVE per cent. of the
cost, and the state rs per cent. The
railroad win pay 65 per cent, and will
do all the work in building the new
road, which must be up to state stan
dard. It is estimated this work will
cost 81 800,
Both Barre Town and Berlin were
represented by their selectmen, the state
by States Attorney Gates, and the rail-
road by Attorney Shurtletf.
The petition of the Barre railroad to
not be compelled to abolish crossing
this year, as is required by the law, was
granted, although the matter Of abolish
ing the South Main street crossing in
Barre City was considered as a posi-
bility next year.

aJoE's" SONG REVISED.
Additional Verse for "Take Me Back to
Old Vermont

The Morrisville Messenger thus dis
cants on the latest song of Vermont:
joe Jones, he who acquired tempo
rary fame IN p w Clements FIRST cam
paign for the goyernorship, is now out
as a song writer. Here is stanza from
one Of his latest efforts, Take Me Back
Again TO Old Vermont
/ long to visit the old store
And the ancient tavern near,
And hear again those stirring tales
BY some hoary pioneer;
To loiter round the grist mill
When the fathers gather there,
And Join my comrades for a lark
At the circus or the fair.
This longing to visit and to loiter as
above may be praiseworthy, but Joseph
is up against a condition, not theory.
The "old store is out of commission for
keeps and the ancient tavern" sells
nothing stronger than one Or two per
cent; the ''hoary pioneer" cannot honor
draft upon his memory further back
than the first battle of Bull Run, and
the "old rrist mill" shelters farmers on
rainy DAYS no longer True, the cir
Gus" and the fair" get around once q
year as Of yore, but a lark at former
nowadays Is discounted by the somer-
sauting auto, aud at the latter it would
cut no figure with the domestic fowl in
the poultry house Joseph should sing
TO a date more recent say as follows
Put me back right on the Onion,
In the yoar Of nineteen-twoi
Once again but put me back there,
And I'd show you what I'd do.
] would chase no llceting phantomj
would act no more the dolt;
] would not forsake my party
No, you bet, would not bolt.

TO INVESTIGATE FIRE DEPT.
Bellows Falls Not Satisfied With Way
Fire Was Handled.

Bellows Falls, Aug. 24.--At meeting
Of the village trustees held Wednesday
evening it was voted to call Chief Engi-
neer j, II. Gately and probably others
before the board for inquiry, relative to
the second fire in the Island House on
Wednesday night of last week.
The bouquets which have been thrown
20 the fire department since the second
fire in the Island House are not of the
fragrant sort. They look and smell
somewhat like cabbages. The first fire
was handled in good shape and when the
all-out alarm sounded all of the property
owners were fully protected by their in
surance. When daylight dawned the
next morning all were losers. II is said
that everyone falls down at least once
in lifetime, and the same may be true
OF fire departments. The department
has had such an excellent reputation in
the past that any lowering Of the stan
dard is all the more noticeable.
Out of 65 call men only 35 responded
and when the first fire was supposed to
be extinguished no men were left to
watch the building. The fire steamer,
which was needed, could not be used
because there was no coal ready.

BOUND OVER 70 GRAND JURY.
Rutland Italians Charged With Assault
With Intent to Kill.

Rutland, Aug. "a Angelo D'Santi and
Peter Lanen. Italians who were arrested
Wednesday night following the murder
Of Charles Finelli on West street during
a stabbing and shooting afffay, were ar
raigned before Justice B. H. Stickney at
the City Hall yesterday afternoon,
charged with committing assault with
intent to kill each other, D'Santi on
lame and Lanne on D'Santi.
Nobody has as yet been formally
charged with the murder of Finelli As
the county grand jury meets within a
few days, States Attorney r. A. Law
renee has decided that it IL best to let
the matter Of hearing rest until that
body meets ii it should turn out that
Finelli attacked D'Santi with razor as
the latter claims, there is a possibility
that 1t may be decided that Finelli was
killed in self defense.
Lanne, who was taken to the hospital
at the house of correction Thursday
night, has a knife wound in bis back
which is not dangerous unless blood poi-
soning should set in. He claims that
he was deliberately stabbed by DSanti
while he was leaning over the counter in
Ricci's store. There is said to be a
witness to substatiate this, but there il
"a suspicion that lame had previously
participated in the fight in which FL
neIli was killed, running into the store
afterwards.
Both DSanti and lame waived ex-
animation, and their bail was fixed at
$500 each. Both were unable to fur
nish bonds, and will remain in jail until
the grand jury meets, having been bound
over Attorney Ernest III 0'Brien ap.
peared as counsel for D'Santi and JOS
eph G. Jones for lame.

PRIZE COURT FOR SHIPS.
Plan For International Tribunal Meets
Favor at The Hague.

The Hague, Aug. 24.-The principal
commission OF the peace conference,
which is concerned with all questions Of
arbitration, has adopted the British,
German and American proposal for the
establishment Of an international prize
court to adjudicate ON ships captured
during warfare. Only Brazil, through
its irrepressible orator, Senior Barbesa,
opposed the second reading Of the
scheme, which is intended to be annexed
to the permanent court of general arbi.
tration.
All the difficulties affecting the com
stitution of the court and the selection
Of judgeships have yet to be met. 1t
IS remarked that Norway, with over a
million tons of shipping, supports the
scheme without insisting upon having q
judge, while Brazil, with only 100000
tons, blocks every project in which she
is not treated as nation in the front
rank
Gen. Horace Porter, at yesterdays
session of the comittee, charged with
the examination Of the obligatory arbl-
tration proposals, announced that Secre-
tary Root had instructed the American
delegation not to vote on any Of the
lists presented by various powers, Civ
ing the subjects they would agree in
variably to submit to arbitration, but
to insist on the American proposition re.
garding general arbitration as being more
likely to be accepted, and also TO keep
the proposition Regarding eontraetual
debts separate from obligatory arbitra-
tion.

sMALL FIRE On PRosREcr srREET
Smoke from Under w. c. GOodwin's
Piazza Causes Still Alarm.

The fire department was called out at
$3.50 o'clock this morning by still alarm
to quench blaze that had started IN
some mysterious manner under the back
piazza Of w. G. Goodwin's house at Is
Prospect street The smoke was first
seen pouring out from under the piazza
by one of the neighbors, who notified the
people in the house. The people got to
work with garden hose after they had
telephoned to the fire station and had
the fire practically all out when the
firemen arrived There was considerable
straw under the piazza and it is thought
that probably spark from pipe or
some children unknowingly may have
set the straw afre, and it had smoul-
dered for some time before breaking out.
There was but slight damage done.
