which two youths from the State
Industrial School at Vergennes
are said to have figured as prlnci
pals. One was Elmer Kenyon
who was sent to the school from
Richmond for breaking into stores
at that place and escaped about
three months ago. The other was
Richard Shaddock, of the juno
ton, who is now on parole. Some
time in the night these boys it is
alleged broke into Fred Peppin' S
secondhand store in South Main
street and helped themselves to
Egold pens, penholders, neckties,
and few other articles, and on
the person of Kenyon when ar
rested was found revolver taken
from Pippin's stock.
State Senator J. F. Manning
of Rutland, has just returned
home from a trip to Colorado
where he visited the town of
Marble in which there are extern
s1ve marble interests. The Col
orado- Yu1e Marble Co. controls
the largest marble quarry plant
in that section. Its water supply,
railroad facilities, machinery, and
mills make the equipment of the
company second to none in quar-
rying and shipping marble. Mr..
Manning made thorough in
spection of the plant in all its de-
partments and says there IS an in
exhaustible deposit of white mar
BILE there of the best quality,
much like the Italian deposits.
He has secured a position with
the company and will move there
with his family to begin opera
tions about July 1. Several mar
BILE workers from Rutland and
vicinity will go to Colorado to
enter the employ of the company.
Closely following the transfer
of the management of the local
division of the New England Tel
ephone company to the Vermont
Telephone company comes the
announcement of the designations
of three of the high officials of
the company, r. H. Lyons of
Montpelier who for nine and
half years has been manager of
the Montpelier district, c. W.
Scarf of Burlington, a special
agent, and George II. Cutler of
Burlington, foreman, are those
who are to leave, in addition to
G. r. Smith, an exchange fore
man, whose resignation was an
nounced a short time ago. Ali
four of these men are going to
Seattle, Wash, to engage in the
telephone business. In speaking
of the change Mr.. Scarf said
that his resignation was not due
to any unpleasantness with the
company but that he was simply
going to better himself. He has
been special agent for twelve
years.
The Transcript of June Sd
says: "Capt. William P. Potter,
u. S. N, arrived at the Charles
town navy yard at II o'clock this
morning, and, after reporting to
the commandment, Rear Admiral
Snow, Immediately went aboard
the great new battleship Yer
mont to take command in compli-
ance with orders which he had
received before leaving the office
of the bureau of the navigation at
Washington, with which he has
for some time been connected. AS
soon as the new commanding off
Ger arrived on board he read his
orders before the assembled crew,
and the ship, which has for some
time been in commission, was
turned over to him by her execu-
tive officer, Lieutenant Command
er Bertolette who will remain as
second officer. The Vermont is
the largest and finest battlesh1p
ever in this port, and IS consider
ed one of the most desirable COM
mands in the navy"
A transfer was practically con-
summated last week, whereby
the Woodbury. Granite company
of Hardwick became owners of
the T. T. Daniell's electric power
plant and water power privileges.
The purchase includes the water
power privileges of East Long
pond, Nichols and Mackville
ponds, the power plant now rum
ming, saw mill at Nichols pond,
and 600 acres of timber land near
the first two named bodies of
water. 1t is one of the largest
and most important deals made
therein in long time, and means
much to the company and Hard
wick. The capacity of the pres
ent plant is about 31S horse power
with 70 foot fall, but if the
penstock is extended to Mack
vile 116 foot fall can be secured
and the power of the plant can
be greatly increased. Now the
company's granite cutting plant
is run by steam, but electricity
will be used to do the work there,
and at the quarries at Woodbury.
