SATURDAY NIGHTS STORM
Bennington Visited by Big Blow Which
Fortunately Did Little Damage.

The storm Of Saturday afternoon
and evening was one Of the worst that
has visited this section in several
years. Early In the afternoon snow
began to fall and as night approached
the wind increased 10 strength until it
was almost impossible to go about the
streets.
There was but little delay experie
ed in running the cars over the Ben
nington and North Adams electric
road, but the line between this village
and Hoosick Falls was completely
tied up. Early in the evening car
became stalled at the Dewey crossing
and later the breaking of the trolley
wire made matters still worse.
Near the Soldiers home a half dozen
electric light poles we're blown down
and wire was torn from its fasten-
ings on School street The poles we're
set up Sunday and the damage was
quickly repaired.
Only one local telephone was put
out of commission and that was di.
rectly due to the falling OF the electric
light wire on School street. The tele.
phone wires required some attention
Sunday and today, but as most of the
equipmsnt here is new the system came
through the storm in good shape. The
long distance wire to North. Adams
was out of commission for time Sat-
urday night, but communication has
been resumed.

STORM TOO FIERCE
| F0R-SANDY HOOK
LIFE SAVERS
Rescued Crew of Ten After
Battle Of Eight Hours.
LlFEBOAT IS BEATEN BACK
Surf Line Was Effective III Removing
RaiIors from Stranded Bark,
Edmund Phinney.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-After a des-
perate fight of eight hours in the teeth
of terrific northeast gale the crews
of the Sandy Hook and Spermaceu
Cove life Saving stations managed to
get line over the hulk of the wreck
ed American bark Edmund Phinney,
which went ashore off Sandy Hook,
and took the half dead captain and
nine sailors to the beach.
The life savers tried to get life line
over the Phinney, but the resistance
of the gale made the line fall short at
every shot. In desperation Captain
Patterson of the Sandy Hook station
signaled the Merritt Chapman wreck
ing tugboat |. j. Chapman that he
would like tow out TO the stranded
vessel.
The Chapman responded promptly.
Soon the big lifeboat Rescue equipped
with a thirty horsepower engine, was
in tow Of the wrecker, which headed
for the Phinney. A great crowd which
had assembled on the beach were hor-
rifed to see the Rescue disappear UNI
der the comber. and it was thought
that the life savers would be lost.
Suddenly the unsuitable Rescue APP
peared again ON the crest of a comber
and was hurled closer 10 the Phinney.
The gale increased and the waves roll
ed higher as the only possible chance
of saving the Phinney's crew was at
hand The life savers were forced to
pull away from the bark, seeing that
rescue by boat was impossible.
The Chapman returned to the shelter
of the Hook, and the life savers came
back TO the beach nearly frozen.
BY the time Captain Patterson and
his men got ashore Captain Joseph
Woolcy OF the Spermaceti Cove station
began firing at the Phinney. The first
shot fell short. but the second caught
in the crosstree of the mizzen mast,
the other sticks being broken off at the
deck As soon rs the Sandy Hook
life savers saw that the Spermaced
Cove crew had made fast line they
ran along the beach with the wreck
ers of the Chapman and arrived just
In time TO be of great assistance to
the other life savers.
Had they arrived off Spermaceti
Cove three minutes later there would
not have been enough men to run with
the whip line with which the men Of
both crews managed to save from
drowning James Goslee. the first man
to get into the breaches buoy.
Captain Anderson of the Phinney
feared that the mizzen would snap of
In the gale while his men were being
hauled to the beach, and he ordered
Andrew Hansen and John jacobson,
two Scandinavian sailors, to go aloft
and untangle the line and bring It
down on deck. These two men were
the only ones who had enough
strength In this position the rest OF
the crew were brought ashore through
the surf. Following gallant old
custom Of the sea. the captain was the
last man to leave the ship.
Three Of the crew were nearly dead
when taken to the hospital at Fort
Hancock, and the Sandy Hook life
saving station sheltered the others
worn by hours Of exposure.

Upheld Reputation at the Grange House
Last Evening.

LAST Evening.
John W. Vogel's Ministries at the
Rutland opera house made a decided
hit last evening with the large audi.
ence present. There was just enough
newness about the entertainment to
please and enough of the old time
flavor to relieve it from any change
OF the good old fashioned "black faced
comedians. The first part was ex-
cellently arranged land in point Of
equipment was all that could be de.
sired. The songs and Jokes were up

contained several good vaudeville
turns In hoop.rolling, dancing, tum.
bling and trick bicycle riding. AL

AMEND MILK BILL.
Commissioners Not Satisfied With One
Before Congress-.

Although the Commissioners have a bill
pending before Congress which provides for
a stricter supervision of the milk supply of
Washington in that it includes several
stringent requirements in handling cows
and in the preparation and delivery of the
milk, they do not consider the bill complete
because 1t makes no provision for a tuber-
culin test. This test, according to ply
sicians, veterinarians and officials of the
local health department and the Depart
ment of Agriculture, is the keynote to the
health situation as far as milk is con-
cerned, and they contend that without it
the milk supply will never be absolutely
healthy 1t is said the Commissioners will
make an effort to obtain some legislation at
the present session of Congress which will
authorize this test
Cows are said to be particularly Sis
ceptlbue to tuberculosis, and, according to
veterinarian, who is an expert in this dis
ease, out of every herd of twenty-five cows
at least five are suffering from the disease.
BY the tuberculin test every COW from
which milk is taken to bring into the Dis
trict would be thoroughly examined and
If found to have the disease would be
earmarked unhealthy and separated from
the healthy members of the herd. The
Washington Medical Association at it's last
meeting, discussed this subject and agreed
that the only solution to save the cows
of the test named. The Veterinarians AS
ISOLATION at its last meeting adopted reso-
lutions, which were forwarded to the Com
missioners in which the alarming cond-
ton of the cows furnishing the local milk
supply was depicted and the adoption of
this test was strongly recommended
DR.. Woodward readily agreed with the
members of these associations of the neces-
sity and Importance OF this test. He stated
however, that he would have included some
provision for it in his dairy and milk bill
had he not from experience learned how
hard it would be to have such a require
ment enacted into law.
Few people know what the tuberculin
test is, he said. IF COW is possessed of
any symptoms of tuberculosis there will be
a rise in the temperature, the rise being
more or less evident as the disease germs
multiply. A COW free from the disease will
have no noticeable rise in temperature The
first step of the test is the making of and
recording of temperature of tests of every
cow from which milk is TAKEN
To determine that the COW has the dis
ease solution impregnated with tubercule
bacilli is injected into the COW by means Of
a hypOdermic needle and then the patient
is carefully watched. daily records of the
temperature kept, and if the temperature
rises after this trea tnent it is decided that
the disease has taken a strong hold on the
animal, and in order to prevent the spread
ing or contagion she should be separated
