insane in Waterbury. The Montpelier
Journal says; The many Montpelier ad-
mirers of Mr. Wilder's remarkable talent
will learn with sincere regret of his latest
and perhaps final surrender to the mental
troubles that have pursued him of late.
AS a solo performer, as a leader of the
celebrated orchestra that for years bore
his name, as an organizer of musical
events and director of town amateur
singing and acting companies. George H.

SEVERE HAIL STORM
Lightning Struck Two Buildings in
Village Sunday Afternoon
Blacksmith Shop at n. II. Winchester's
Set on Fire and Mrs. o. 3. Mack's
House Hit by Bolt.

The most severe thunder shower OF the
season swept over town Sunday afternoon
and caused some damage as well as up
setting the plans of many people for the
afternoon The hail which accompanied
the first few minutes of the shower cut
garden crops and pelted pedestrians
caught out without umbrellas.
Heavy thunder and sharp lightning
accompanied the shower The lightning
struck in at least two places in town, but
without doing much damage. one bolt
hit a locust tree on Maple street and
jumped across from the tree trunk to the
blacksmith shop on ii. II. Winchesters
farm. Shingles were torn off the roof
of the shop in several places and the in
terror was a mass of flame when the
men reached it from the house across the
road. A few buckets of water put out
the fire and revealed the tricks that the
lightning had played. Tools Of all kinds
had been thrown about the shop and the
temper taken out of most Of them, rem
dering them useless. Some scythes were
bent and twisted out of all resemblance
to their original form and as a parting
reminder the lightning went out through
the west side of the shop bullying it out
nearly a foot.
Another bolt struck Mrs. o. B. Mack's
house on Wiliston street but did no
damage beyond knocking off few states.
The bolt struck near the north gable of
the house, ran along the roof to a CHM
ney and followed the chimney to the
ground, without setting fire to the house.
Another bolt struck a tree in Prospect
hill cemetery.
The shower seemed to be central over
Brattleboro. Dummerston people re-
ported little rain; although the rain and
wind were heavy in Vernon no hail fell
and the growing tobacco was not dam
aged If the hail had been as heavy in
Vernon and Hinsdale as in Brattleboro
the small tobacco plants would have been
cut to pieces and the total loss would
have been very large.

foreign EXODUS
STILLCONTINUGJJ
LABORERS RUSH -, ...i.% YORK
TO TAKE SHIP FOR EUROPE
THE TOTAL EMIGRATION NOW
REACHES 100000 MARK

NEW YORK, Dec. with the
departure of the last steamship for
Europe on Saturday next between
$4,000 and $4,000 foreigners will
have left the United States within
the week. This breaks all previous
records for eastbound travel.
Gustave H. Schwab of the North
German Lloyd line, a close student
of the immigration question, points
to these facts as an absolute refuta-
ton of the alarmist theories that
the steamship companies are respon-
sible for the influx of foreigners to
the United States.
The present exodus is a demon
stratiOn," Mr.. Schwab said, "of the
fact that immigration regulates It,
self. When times are good and there
is a demand for labor, the immi-
grant comes to this country. When
there is a lack of work and times
are bad, the immigrant labor re-
turns to its own country. The exc
dus now is perfectly natural and Il
caused by the shutting down of In
dustries, the curtailment of con
struction work by the railroads ant
the general retrenchment in othel
branches of business"
The rush to get away is so grea'
that many of the railroads are run
ming special trains to New York. Or
the Pennsylvania road alone 200'
arrived today. The officials of othe
lines report that the travel to New
York of this class is equally heavy

FINANCE COM.
DISCUSS PLANS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The
newly-appointed house committee ON
banking and currency held its FIRST
meeting today, spending two and a
half hours in discussion the cur
rency question in several Of its
phases. The phases chiefly discuss
ed were as follows
The creation of elasticity in the
currency and the disposition of re-
serve balances in national banks
The committee was apparently
agreed that it will sanction no move
to increase the bulk of paper money,
but it will contine itself to the best
means of injecting elasticity The
plan providing for the issuance OF
national bank credit notes which can
be instantly drawn into circulation
when general conditions require an
increased currency, was passed and
discussed at length. The view was
strongly urged that the laws should
be changed so as to prevent the abb
sorption of reserve moneys in ma
tional banks by banks in reserve
cities. National banks are required
to hold in reserve cities three-fifths
of their respective capital. and it was
pointed out that under this require
ment country banks have to send
this reserve portion to the nearest
designated reserve city. whose
banks, 1t was asserted, loan It out
and in time of sudden emergency
find themselves unable to respond to
the call of the country banks for re-
turns of their deposits.
Several members Of the committee
expressed the opinion that the foam
ing of reserve funds should be
checked by legislation.

RESTRICTED NEXT YEAR

''irhe financial furry will decrease
the production of lumber on Craig
mountain by SO per cent" said o.
w. Click, q prominent millman from

"The decrease Is due to the uncer-
tain conditions of the lumber mar
ket and tAe inability of the millmer
to secure money with which to car
ry on the winter logging.
"The Craig mountain mills last

l'unless conditions are materially re
Iiiieved within the next few week
this production will be practicall
