DEADLOCK CONTINUES
BETWEEN JUDGES
Agree on Two License Commissioners for
Barre, and Cant Get Together
On the Third.

Assistant judges Winch and Wells Of
Washington county were in conference
up to the opening of county court at
Montpelier at two o'clock this afternoon,
but failed to agree on board Of H.
cense commissioners for Barre City. This
is the last day under the law, in which
commissioners can be appointed, the stat
ute saying that in towns voting to Ii
Icense the sale of liquor the commission
ers shall be appointed within sixteen
days of the date OF the election.
1t is understood that the Judges have
agreed on two of the commissioners, but
have a different opinion OF the third
They will get together again following
the adjournment of court for the day at
five o'clock, and another attempt will
be made to settle the matter In case
no commissioners should be appointed
il Is a question whether any could be
appointed after the sixteen days.
The will OF the majority of the peo-
pie Of the city would OF course be thwart-
ed if no commissioners are named and
consequently no licenses granted. Some
legal opinions are that the courts would
construe the appointment Of commission
ers as mandatory, and that consequent
ly there would be more time allowed,

Skeleton Found in Old Grave From
Which Original Body Had Been Taken

Binghampton, N. VI, March 21.--Tn
removing the bodies from the old ceme-
terry in this city yesterday afternoon
workmen discovered the skeleton sup
posed to have been murdered, buried
about 18 inches beneath the surface, in
am old grayas from which the body was
removed about five years ago. Sexton
Lloyd says tnat he remembers that q
short time after the original body was
removed from the grave he noticed that
the dirt had been dug freshly, but sup
posed it was the work of mischievous
boys.
The skeleton IL supposed to be that
of a man who was murdered about five
years ago, the body was wrapped in a
piece Of carpet, in which the bones
were found today, and buried by the
murderers in the reopened grave No
trace of the crime was ever discovered
and there was nothing to indicate the
identity of the murdered man.
by q starnge coincidence this dis
covery was made in the lot adjoining
the one in which the famous murderer,
Edward Ruloff, was buried after ais
execution 35 years ago. The next body
removed after finding this evidence of
murder was that Of Ruloff, whose head
less skeleton was found just as it was
buried.

TEACHERS
GET A RAISE
OF One Dollar a Week Be-
ginning Next Fall
VOTED THEM LAST NIGHT
School Board Reorganized by the Elec-
tion of H. G. Woodruff as Chair
man and I. R. Hutchinson as
Secretary.

At the meeting Of the city school com
missioners last evening the board reor-
ganized for the year BY electing II. G.
Woodruff as chairman and IL r. Hutch
inson as secretary and made an impor-
tant move by voting to increase the
salaries of all the grade teachers Of the
schools one dollar week beginning with
the opening Of the next fall term.
This matter Of salary raise has been
pending for several years, and the in
crease would have been granted last year
had the commissioners felt the financial
standing TO be such as to warrant It,
The teachers have not been receiving 80
much as those Of the surrounding cities
Of the same class. For example, in
Montpelier the minimum annual salary
is S400, while in Barre the maximum has
been 1896, The salaries in Rutland have
been low, as in this city, but last fall
a raise was made. Barre has lost sew
eral good teachers recently because Of
the low salaries paid, but most Of the
teachers have remained loyal to the
schools, and that in spite of the fact
that the living expenses in the city have
been increasing
The present standard Of wages was
set about seven years ago, and has been
maintained with the exception fhat a
short time ago the rule was made that
after three years service the teachers
would receive one dollar week addi.
tional. Half, at least, Of the teaching
force are three-year veterans. 1t has
been the custom to start the teachers
at $40 per week, although some OF the
new ones were taken on trial at So
! The maximum salary Is Si1 per week
and under the. new order the maximum
will be raised to sf2, with the new teach
ers started at perhaps 81. This change
does not apply to the high school teach
ers, who are on a different basis OF
lpay,
The efficiency Of the teaching force
has not only been maintained, but bet
Itered. Now the commissioners aim Ia
get normal school graduates or high
school graduates who have had expert.
ence in Teaching. The raise will affect
probably AS teachers, and make an in-
crease to the cost of the schools oi
about Sf.700 or 81 500 annually.
The change in the organization of the
beard was made by the refusal Of Alex
ander Gordon to serve longer as chair,
man and because Of the resignation oi
Frank w. Nichols. Mr.. Gordon has segv.
ed longer than any other man as chair
man OF the board and has given the
work his closest attention. The board
would have been pleased to have him
remain at its head, but he insisted that
someone else take the place. So Mr.
Woodruff was chosen. This is Mr.. Wood.
luf's second year as commissioner, and
/ it Is certain that be viii make a capable
head Of the board. Mr.. Hutchinson, the
new secretary, was recently appointed a.
commissioner in the third ward to sue
ceed F. w. Nichols, resigned.

SHRINKING SPRING
ARRIVED TODAY
At One O'clock According to the CaIen-
dar, But the Reception Was Any
thing But Warn.

Beautiful skipping, gladstone Spring
arrived this afternoon, clad in furs and
walking on snow shoes.
At one p. IN. by the town clock the
sun skidded across the equator and start

But TO eut out the metaphors, spring
arrived by the calendar this afternoon
and will continue to the same date in the
month Of June. Still it would not be
well for Vermont people to be guided
by the calendar IN their wearing apparel.

FIRE WIPES
OUT A HOUSE
The Emslie Double Tenement
North Of the City
LOSS ESTIMATED AIT $4,000
Hand Chemicals Stayed the Flames for
Time, But Finally Were Of No
Ayail-Most Of Furniture Was
Saved.


The two.story and basement house,
owned by the Emslie estate and located
near the Emslie greenhouse, was de.
stroyed by 1fe today, causing d loss
estimated at $4,000, with insurance Of
$4,000. Nearly all the movable furnish
ings were saved through the efforts Of
the neighbors and members of the Barre
fire department who responded To d tel
ephone call. The families of John Mer-
Ger and Mrs. Charles Emslie occupied the
house, which was well.eonstrueted
building put up about four years ago.
The flames were discovered pouring
from the roof OF the house at q quar-
ter past ten this forenoon by telephone
linemen who were out repairing wires.
ne occupants of the house were at once
notified 1t is not possible to state the
exact cause, but it il supposed that the
flames caught from the chimney. The
neighbors soon rallied and assisted in
carrying out the furniture, there being
no fire fighting apparatus. A telephone
message was sent to the Barre fire sta
tion and Chief Gladding and two firemen
drove the two and one half miles to a.
sist. (The house is located in the town
Of Berlin, between this city and Mont
pelier,)
When the local fremen arrived the
house was past saving with chemicals,
but with the use Of six Of the hand
machines the flames were stayed for a
time while the neighhors and the work
men from the Glysson stone shed went
over the house and took out the furnish
ings. Had there been one stream Of wa
ter from hydrant. the flames could
have been wiped out in five minutes,
but as it was the helpers could do moth,
ing but save the goods. At this they
did well, there being practically nothing
lost, although some pieces were broken
in the hurried removal. The furniture
carried an insurance of $500.
Soon the entire building was wrapped
in flames, and by 1880 there was moth.
ing left but the foundations, the woFl;
Of the fire having been complete. The
Barre fire department team was used
to carry the goods to safe places, after
the futnlty OF the hand chemicals was
seen. The occupants of the house were
taken in by neighbors.
The burned building was the second
one from the greenhouses and located
directly on the electric ear line.

Barre Granite Memorial TO
Mary Rogers.
WILL NOT BE ALLOWED
Augustinian Fathers in Charge cf Hoo
sick Falls, N. II, Cemetery Inform
Eugene Sullivan & Sons That
Grave Will Be Unmarked.

An absolute refusal to allow nonu-
ment to be erected to the memory Of
Mary Rogers, the husband murderer, over
her grave in the Hoosiek Falls, N. ",
cemetery, has been made by the Angus
tinian fathers, who have charge Of the
cemetery, and they have today notified
Eugene Sullivan 4 Son OF this city,
the manufacturers Of the monument, To
that effect Their letter Ii as follows:
"Hoosick Falls, N. VI, March Goth, 1907.
'Messrs. Eugene Sullivan a Sons,
Barrie, Vt.
"Gentlernen.
II am informed you intend to
place in our cemetery stone over the
grave of Mrs. Mary Rogers. write
you now to inform you no such stone
will be received in orr cemetery You
may notify any one Interested that no
stone OF any kind will mark her grave
while her body is in our cemetery.
Respectfully yours,
Rev. 4. A. McCramer,
20. S. AZ
The monument is now completed at
the plant of Mfr. Sullivan and sons, ex-
cept for the placing of the inscription
on the granite tablet. The firm received
a tentative order for the Rogers monu-
ment several months ago, and soon be-
gan work on the cutting Of 1t. The
monument, as it stands today, is eight
feet high, measures three feet and six
inches across the front and is three feet
deep. 1t is rough h-faeed with the excep-
tion of a large polished scroll extending
from the top to the bottom. "A spray
of flowers, the handicraft Of Gaeta Mai,
d skilled carver, adorns the top Of the
monument. The manufacturers were
awaiting the order to cut whatever in-
scription was desired when the letter
was received from the Augustinian fa-
theirs at Hoosick Falls.
The order for the monument, which
was made by q man and woman who
wished their identity concealed, but who
in the case OF the unfortunate woman,
has not vet been countermanded, and
the manufacturers are holding the mon
ument for word from them. II Is ex-
peeted by the manufacturers that if the
monument if refused by them that the
loss will be made good. The monument
ia a salable one, and can easily be dis
posed of, since the polished scroll has
not been marred with an inscription.
The refusal of the cemetery authori-
ties to permit the erection Of any monu-
ment in their cemetery to the memory
Of the Rogers woman il said to be partly
due to the wishes Of the family Of the
unfortunate person, her mother and sis
ters, who have moved from Hoosick Falls
to Massachusetts, having expressed the
desire to remove as much as possible
the reminders Of the whole affair. The
Rogers woman was hanged at the Wind
sor state prison year ago for killing
her husband, Marcus Rogers, the exc
eution following one OF the most SEN
sational legal battles ever known in
Vermont.
