FIRE AN INDIRECT BENEFIT.
RichfoTd Likely to Be Rebuilt in More
Substantial Manner.

Richford, Aug l5.-The citizens OF
this village are realizing that The FIRE
Of last Saturday was not entirely a
misfortune. 1t removed what is said
to have been the worst fire trap in
the village, and when the burned area
Il rebuilt the rate OF insurance prob.
ably will be much lower. 1t win also
give the proper authorities an oppor-
tunity TO improve the whole width Of
Main street from Powell street to the
bridge, large portion Of the street hay-
ing been occupied with buildings, es-
peeially opposite the grist mill AT this
point the street was very narrow and
the traffic often congested. The grade
Of the highway and sidewalks was not
what il should have been. All this
can be remodeled in the future, ii no
buildings are allowed to be placed on
land which belongs To the village for
use as street. The Sweat Comings
Co, viii be able to build a large mod
ern factory in which the cost of manu-
faeture will be very much less than in
the old buildings which were small and
poorly arranged The cost of fire in.
swaDce win be only a fraction Of the
old rate, which was four per cent an
nually There is some talk that when
the factory is rebuilt IL will be placed
on a railroad siding, the water power
Of the old site be converted into an
electrical station, and the machines Of
the new factory run by individual elec.
tric motors. The business section of
Riehford adjoining the falls is sure to
lie more substantial md more attractive
in the future than in the past

TURKS CAPTURED
ON CANADIAN LINE
Alleged That They Were Being Snug
gled Into The United States Via.
@Underground1 Route in
Montreal.


Burlington, Aug. 15.--Three Turks,
all immigrants, who are slid to hail
from Harpoot, and another man who
was caught assisting them to cross the
Canadian border lnlawfully, were
brought from Alburg yesterday at noon
and placed in the Chittenden county jail,
Their arrest was the elimination Of a
series of smuggling exploits which the
immigrant inspectors have been trying
to curb for some time. The nien will
await a hearing before the United
States commissioner, there 10 explain
why they are here and the fourth
to answer to a charge Of escorting
aliens into the United States.
The immigrants were some who have
been harbored in Montreal by one al
len M. Shahen, a desperate character,
who IS much wanted by the officials IN
the United States, and who has figured
in several sensational escapes from the
inspectors during the course of his
checkered career as smuggler. The
inspectors received tip that the Inn
migrants were being hidden in a Joint
run by Shahen in St. Charles BarrOmee
street, Montreal, and that an attempt
would be made by them to get across
the border on Tuesday night
They accordingly posted men in all
the border towns and Mt points along
the line and sent two inspectors TO
shadow the immigrants. They left Mon.
treal late Tuesday night by train for
Cecile Junction, and from there TO
Henryburg where they left the train and
started to walk towards a point on
the line between Noyan and Alburg.
It Is thought that Shahen accompanied
them a part OF the distance as he was
met by the officers, and after he had
passed the officers, turned and fired on
them but without effect.
The immigrants were found about two
o'clock yesterday morning Just rs they
had crossed the line near Alburgh, and
were taken to the Alburgh station by
Deputy Collectors Houghton Smith and
Aver Of the Alburgh custom house.
They were locked up until morning,
when they were brought to Burlington
by Inspectors West and Conway. They
were searched second time at the jail
and long dirk taken from one of them.
The man who was captured with them
is supposed TO be a right hand man for
Shahen who acts as a go-between, as
Shahen. does not dare set foot In the
States for fear Of being arrested. tIe
has been in the smuggling business for
years and is said TO have pals IN London
and several other places ON the other
side. whence the immigrants are sent
and directed to the Montreal place He
deals mostly with immigrants who
have failed to pass the required exami-
nation for entrance into the United
States He was at one time arrested
hy officials in New York state for Snug.
Cling silk and made his escape from a
moving train at Chagy Lake, since which
time he lIas kept out of the United
States.

Rev. J. Frank Rhoades Who Preached
at Barre Church.

The Rev. J. Frank Rhoades, formerly
pastor Of the Uniyersalst church in
Barre and who Is well known to the
older residents Of the city, died in Nor
well, Mass, July 20, of paralysis, after
a brief illness. He was over seventy
years Of age, and leaves his widow and
one daughter
In speaking Of him, the Universalist
Leader says; "He is to be reckoned
as one of our most successful ministers,
for though he had held no conspicuous
city pulpits, he has been power for
good wherever he has settled and one of
the real forces In denominational life.
His striking presence and manly voice
always commanded attention, and he
always had something to say which was
worthy of consideration and memory.
And what be said was backed up by a
life OF sturdy honesty which compelled
respect. Men and women came to
hir, won by the genuineness of his
character, and he led them into the fell
lowship Of the church..
The Norwell paper says Of him:
"Mr. Rhoades was prominent in the
Universalist church. His early work was

his makeup something Of the evange-
list as well as oratorical abilities of
no small calibre Mr. Rhoades has be.

people, where he has been at various
intervals for several years, be having
purchased the Briggs estate on River
street. He and his faithful and helpful
wife have made for themselves a large
place in the thought and affection of
the people OF the town.

AT POUGHKEEPSIE
The Four Races Yesterday We're All
Won by Those That Had Been
Picked as Winners.

Poughkeepsie, NJ Y., Aug. l5. Yester-
day was fayorites' day at the grand cir
cult races at the Hudson River Driving
park. The four races were all won by
first choices with the exception of the
2s28 trot, which went to Margaret o.,
the second choice, after Beatrice Bellini,
the favorite. had won the frst heat.
The weather was fine and the attend
ance the largest of the meeting. In the
free for all pace, Angus Pointer, the fa-
yorite, won easily in straight heats, in
2;03A and 2:03M Ecstatic, the second
choice, went to a break in the first
heat and was distanced. Baron Grattan
seemed to lack his usual pace and was
unable to give Angus Pointer any argu-
ment In the pools Angus Pointer sold
for 500; Ecstatic, S32; Baron Grattan,
$25; Graft, Sl2. and the field, SIS.
Angus Pointer drew the pjole and was
never headed in either Of the two heats.
Graft seemed to be the only horse that
could give him any kind of an argument,
but he went to break In each heat.
George G. was red hot favorite in
the 2:06 trot, although this was his first
start of the year It was also the first
appearance Of the year of his driver,
Atty" Mcdonald George G. demon
strated that the confidence in him was
not misplaced as he won both heats,
pulled Up, in 2:08M and 2;07,
The 2:2S trot was the most exciting
race of the day, the finish being well
fought out Margaret O. was little too
good for the favorite, Beatrice Bellini,
and after dropping the first heat, cap
tured the next three and the race
new 2:l0 performer was added to
the list in the 2:l3 trot in Berico, the
favorite, who made the second mile in
2i00A. She won the race handily.

A representative OF The Recorder
accompanied small party of ladies
and gentlemen To the Tin boy mine
the first OF the week. The object OF
the trip was for pleasant outing,
aud TO see mining In full operation.
In both OF these motives the object

will strike the visitor forceably when
visiting the mine is the road which
has been built this spring. While
the road Is steep In some places, yet
