cotch Defeats Russian Lion.

Frank Gotch, champion wrestler of
America, sprung surprise Saturday
when he defeated the much-touted Hack
enschmidt, the "Russian Lion," secur-
ing thereby the championship of the
world. The event took place in Dexter
Pavilion, Chicago, and was witnessed by
5000 people. Hackenschmidt was the
heavier, but lacked i'll endurance,
strength and science, compared with the
Iowan, who took the defensive for an
hour and three-quarters, during which
the Russian could not Nasten his grip on
him. By this time the "Lion" was
winded, and Gotch suddenly caught him,
raised him clear of the mat and slammed
him down on both shoulders with terrific
force. 1t was not clean fall, but so dis
couraged 'sHack" that be gave up the
match to Gotch, amid the widest enthus.
iasm. The winner took $4,000 and the
loser $1,000. 'sHack" says Gotch is
wonder, and that he wants no return
match.

Granite Strike Probably Settled.

AT the meeting OF the Grdnite Manutac-
turers' association and the Granite CUT
ters' union, held Tuesday afternoon at
Barre, the reports of their respective COM
mittees who Monday agreed upon set
tlement were ratified and SO far as the
cutters and the manufacturers are con-
cerned the trouble is over. The basis of
settlement is for term Of three years at a
scale of 81 3 cents per hote tor the first
year, 38 cents for the second year and
3S31 cents an hour for the third year, with
Saturday half holiday during June, July,
August and September. All the other
points in dispute, which included weekly
payment of wages, a piece scale, shop
conditions and the matter of hiring ap-
entices had been previously settled by
the committees and accepted by the two
bodies. This settlement in Barre will no
doubt be ratified by the unions at Will
Jamestown, Montpelier, Northfie.d and
Waterbury.
The quarry workers were to meet yes
terday afternoon to vote on the PROPOSE
tion made by the quarry owners for 26
cents an hour. The tool sharpeners, pol
ishers, Jumpers, boxers and derrick men
have yet to be settled with, but they have
been waiting for the cutters to effect a
settlement and it is believed they will
speedily come into line. 1t is now con-
fidently expected that work in all
branches of the granite industry in WASH
ington county will be resumed next Mon
day morning.

grave doubts whether ought at this

permitting my friends to do SO for me.
1t is my present highest ambition to COM
plete my term of office as governor un-
trammeled by any other considerations

Democrats Filibusterf in Vain.

Interest in Congress the past week has
centered in the House, where the Demo-
cratic minority, by persistent flibuster-
ing, under the leadership of John Sharp
Williams. has ATTEMPTED TO obstruct busi-
ness. Dilatory motions and frequent roll
calls have compelled long sessions, last
ing into the night, but the Republicans
have always been able to muster the votes
necessary to carry through their business.
The House Monday passed the Sterling
employers liability bill, with only one
vote in the negative, Littlefield OF Maine.
The act makes common carriers RESPONSE
BILE for personal injuries sustained by
those in their employ, without regard to
the acts of fellow employees, which, un-
der common law, act as bar to recovery.
The bill is now before the Senate, which
has other similar bills of its own. The
federal supreme court recently declared
such law unconstitutional, but it is ex-
pected these acts are SO drawn as to over
come the courts objections.

Death OF E. o. Hobart.

Edward Orville hobart, who was taken
from his home in Windsor, March goth,
to the Brattleboro retreat, suffering from
a nervous collapse that terminated in
mental arrangement. died in Brattleboro
Sunday morning without regaining his
reason.
He had been a man of strong physique,
which had enabled him to travel continu-
ously for 19 years as baggage master on
the Central Vermont railway with a 200
mile run from Montreal to White River
Junction, and in all that period hardly a
fortnight's time was lost. Since the ac-
cident at South Royalton a year ago,
however, he had been very despondent
and in many ways quite unlike himself.
He was then thrown suddenly the length
of his cara distance of 40 feet-and
crushed into corner with a coffin weigh
ing him down. His hip and back were
injured and, though he continued steadi-
ly on duty, he is believed to have been
more seriously hurt than he knew.
Mr.. Hobart was born in Randolph, Oct.
2, 1862, the third son of Frank A. and
Elizabeth (Fish) Hobart, who survive
him. He began his railroad career in the
freight depot at Burlington, where he
remained part of year and then went to
Palmer, Mass, to be station baggage
master for some months before taking the
position on the road in which he had
since been one of the most efficient bag
gage masters in the employ OF the Central
Vermont.
Dec. %, 1887, Mr.. Hobart was married
at st. Albans to Miss Nida Quimby of
Montreal, who had formerly lived in
Northfieid, and had been teacher both
in that place and in Randolph. The wife
is left with five children-Glenn Edward,
who was born in Randolph, Jan. 21,
1882, and was graduated from the Wind
sor High school in 1906; Florence May,
who will be graduated the coming COM
mencement of the same school; Corinne
Nida, Elizabeth and Helen, the last
named being seven years of age. Mr..
Hobart has also brother, John F. Ho-
bart, express agent at Essex Junction;
and two sisters, Mrs. John Il. Angel of
Randolph and Mrs. William Tracy OF st.
Albans.
The funeral, which was held at 2 80
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon at the home in
Windsor, was attended by Mr.. and Mrs.
John X. Angel of Randolph, Mrs. Will
liam Tracy Of St. Albans., j. F. Hobart OF
Essex Junction and cousin, Z. f. Fish
of Richmond.
