Connecticut River Now a Raging Tor.
rent.
Brattleboro, Oct. 29,-An unusual
spectacle is presented by the high
water at the place where the dam
across the Connecticut river south of
Brattleboro. will be located.
The heavy rains of Sunday, Monday
and today caused the river to rise II
feet up to late this afternoon and it
is still rising. The water has risen
above the top of the Golfer dam on the
New Hampshire side and on the Yer
mont side where there Is no obstruC-
ton, the river is raging torrent
The volume of water now flowing past
the spot is $4,000 cubic feet each sec
ond which exceeds any previous DC.
tober record since the dams at Holy
oke, and Turner'S Falls, Mass, were
built, and so far rs known it is the big
gest October food since 1869.
The foot bridge crossing the river
is IA wreck and is kept from going
down stream only by cables and only
the tops of the upright boilers which
have been set on the cofferdam are
visible above the water. The Golfer
dam itself has not been damaged and
it is believed that it will withstand
the severest strain. Everything was
in readiness for pumping the water
out of the cofferdam but this work will
be delayed 10 days or more. This eX-
asperating delay and the wrecking of
the bridge constitute the principal loss.
Three of the superintendent Waldo
II. Lowe of Fitchburg, Mass, and Mes
srs Lee and Howes had "a narrow es-
cape this afternoon. They attempted
to row across the river above the foot
bridge but their boat was washed
against the bridge which was then in
the water. Mr.. Lee and Mr. Howes
landed on the bridge safely but Mr..
Lowe was thrown into the water and
the boat passed over him. Mr.. Lowe
managed to grapple one of the bridge
| cables and was rescued. The boat
lloated down the river and was lost.

% SPECIMENS OF
MILK TAKEN FOR
ANALYSIS
Cream Supply Will Also Be
Carefully Examined.
PENALTY If FOUND IMPURE.
Local Milk Dealers Expect That tn
High Standard of Past Tests
viii Be Maintained.

Samples of milk were taken from the
stock in trade of the Bennington milk
men this morning and will be forward
ed to the state laboratory at Burling-
ton for chemical analysis.
The samples were taken by Health
Officer II. l.. Stillson and each one
was bottled and sealed in the presence
of the dealer. The number of samples
taken was 29. This includes a sample
from not only the milk dealers them
selves from other producers from
whom any dealer buys milk to sell.
In this connection it is interesting
10 note that any person using milk
can test it himself at any time with
reasonable degree of accuracy and con.
| clusiyeness. Hold the milk up in a
glass bottle or glass can after 1t has
been allowed to stand for an hour and
II no dirt or sediment appear in the
bottom of the can the contents may be
safely considered up to the standard
required by law. If after making this
examination customers find dirt in the
milk they should notify L. p. Sprague
at the state laboratory with the name
OF their milk dealer and the dealer will
be notified of the condition of the
milk.
In addition to the samples of milk
there were taken also samples of
cream from all the dealers who sell
cream. There has been complaint
made to the officials that some of the
cream sold here is below standard and
If this is found true the state penalty
VIII be enforced. This penalty is a
fine of $50.
There are several Bennington milk
dealers who take special pride in the
purity of their product and in keeping
1t clean. There are several methods
OF cleaning COW before milking and
in some Bennington stables the flank
hip and udder of every COW are washed
before milking. 1t is stated however.
that the experiment station records
show that rubbing with dry burlap
is found more effective than washing.
for the reason that after washing 1t is
difficult to wipe sufficiently dry SO that
there will not be some drainage that is
likely to find its way into the milk pail.

THE FORTNiGHTLY
The Lecture on "The Modern Crusade"
November I.

The Modern Crusade" by Doctor
Bryant, appeals especially to the wo.
men of every household, house,
keeper. so to speak. For il is the de-
vastation of the home by the Great
White Plague that the crusade is in
hopes to mitigate somewhat of its
horrors.
Modern science has solved many of
the dangers TO life in the home. but
there still remains a vast field to ex-
plore to say nothing of conquering the
evil which threatens the high and
the low, the rich and the poor alike.
The motto of the afternoon, therefore,
Is well chosen; Science thus will
leave no spot unfit to be inhabited by
man. the chief of animals"
Doctor Bryant (like several of his
distinguished ancestors) is pleasant
speaker; and, in his specially, will
attract the interest of the large audi
ence awaiting him Saturday after
noon. For this occasion guest tickets
will be free. The committee for Nov
/, 1907 is, Mrs. w. w. Burke Misses
F. A. Walbridge, Annie Dakin. The
officers of the Fortnightly extend {

SUMMONS FOR CIRCUIT
Victims Husband Must Testify at Tri.

Brattleboro, Oct 29.-On account of
an accident which put telephone wires
out of commission, it was impossible
to get a detailed report today of the
trial of William Fairbanks at Newfane
charged with numbering his niece, Mrs
Mary Page Grout.
IL was learned, however, that the wit
nesses were principally men for whom
Fairbanks had worked and that the
trend of their testimony was to the eff
feet that Fairbanks was not only below
the average in intelligence but that
while In former years he was very
laxative, he had become less disposed
to talk In the last few years and was
unable to converse connectedly.
In response to hypothetical questions
they testified that in their Judgment
he was insane.
The witness whose testimony was
most valued by the defense was Yes.

said that in recent years Fairbanks

Mrs. Myra futile on whose testimony
the state has relyed principally to
show generalization, did not have a
good reputation for truth and yerac
ity.
An interesting incident in connec
ton with the trial took place in Brat
tleboro today. Fred II. Grout of Glare
mont, divorced husband of the girl fol-
whose death Fairbanks is on trial
came to Brattleboro today in response
to 4 summons for the defense. He
did not know which side summoned
him, however, and while waiting fol-
transportation to Newfane he said IN
the presence of some newspaper mer
that Fairbanks told him year OF
more ago that he would shoot MARY
Grout before he would let her go Will
any other man.
States Attorney Il. C. Bacon learn

sued a summons for Mr.. Grout but of

WILL CARRY BAGGAGE
Trunks Can Soon be Sent Over the
Entire Berkshire system.


President Storrs of the Berkshire
street railway Ia -. ounced that ar
engagements have just been completed
by which trunks will be handled on
trolley lines throughout the whole
length OF the Berkshire lines, that is
from Great harrington to Bennington.
This practice is already in force south
OF Pittstield, but to the northward its
inauguration will be a distinct limo
walton, by which il will be possible fol-
persons desiring TO do so to have their
trunks carried by trolly as far north
as Bennington. 1t is believed that this
practice will prove of much con
yenience not only in the summer
months TO tourists who move from
point to point by trolley, but also in
winter to regular patrons.
The matter has been under consider
alton for some time and doubtless
would have been put in force earlier,
according To Mr.. Storrs, were ii not
for the general check to all plans for
trolley development caused by the
state putting stop to the projects in.
volying the construction of many new
lines and the expanding OF several hun.
dred thousand dollars annually for a
term of years.
Naturally" said Mr.. Storrs, Such
a check to our most ambitious plans
for new construction changed the sit
uation. While we still hope that the
necessary permission for the construc
ton OF these lines will be forthcoming
we have been forced to rearrange our
plans and find it more difficult to pro
coed while the largest part of our plans
Is held up. AT he NE time, however
all improvements possible within the
present limited and temporary situa
ton are being given careful consider
alton"
