DRUGGISTS WILL NOT
ASK FOR CHANCES
Although They Are Not Satisfied with
the License Law as Regards Fifth
Class Liquor Licenses.

Vergenes Oct IA committee from
the Vermont Sharmaeeutical association
met here yesterday for discussion on
subjects pertaining to the betterment Of
their vocation. 1t was decided that Yer
mont druggists will not ASH for any
changes regarding the fifth class license
for the sale Of wines and liquors from
the present legislature, The druggists
believe that their efforts along that line
in the past have been misconstrued and
misunderstood by the public and while
the law at present is very unsatisfactory
from the druggists standpoint, that any
move for change in the law should
come from the public.
They would like to see some modifca-
tion as regarding labelling in tho new
Pure Food and Drug law and believe
that the poison law should be changed
or at least that the present law he better
enforced. 1t is said that there is laxity
in the matter of the sale Of morphine.
etc, which ought to be remedied The
druggists think that those who sell the
poisons should be held to strieter ac-
count

COMMENT ON RAILROADS
ENTERING BARRE
All of Them Have a Chance for I'm
provement, According to the Belief
Of the State Railroad
Commissioners.

The biennial report OF the state board
of railroad commissioners mas the fol-
lowing to say of the Barre and Mont
pelier Power and Traction company's
line between Barre and Montpelier;
This road needs care of larger capacity
than the present cars, d0uble-truoked and
operated with air brakes, all Of which
would accommodate the traffic better and
more safely. General speaking, the track
and road bed OF this line is in good
condition and the bridges substantial and
well kept.
The commissions report on the condi-
tion OF the Barre railroad includes the
following statement; "The road gener.
ally is in good condition. The require
ments as to crossing signs, block
switches, frogs and guard rails, are well
complied with, This road was exempted
from aboli,hing a grade crossing both in
1907 and 1908, though in 1908 hearing
was had in which the question Of abol.
ishing three dangerous crossings located
in the city of Barre was thoroughly gone
into. But the expense entailed was so
large and he amount the state could
contribute after taking care Of the larger
roads SO small that the work was post
poned."
Without referring specifically TO the
Barre branch Of the Central Vermont
railroad the board says. The branch
lines Of this company are not in so good
condition as the business and the income
derived therefrom should fairly demand
This is specially true Of the Burlington
d Lamoile and the Richford branches,
which are equipped with old and badly
battered 56-pound rail, and whose road
bed is not properly ballastcd nor sulli-
GENTLY well tied We intend to require
tnat these branches shall receive more
attention now that the main line is in
excellent condition.
Concerning the Montpelier 4 Wells
River railroad the board finds little
fault. II says, This road with the
exception Of its bridges is IN excellent
condition and well maintained. Most OF
the bridge structures ara Of wood and
have been in service since the road was
built in 1873 and are not adapcd to
the want Of modern traffic, Though work
is now being done toward streng hening
several OF these bridges, they should be,
at an early date, replaced BY modern
steel structures"

GrewSome Find on the Rail-
road Track
IN MONTPELIER TO-DAY
Body Supposedly That Of DOmeniea Cart
telli-It Was Horribly Mangled
Much Money in the
Pockets.

A grewsome sight met the gaze Of
several Montpelier & Wells River rail
road employees when they went TO work
in the railroad yards at Montpelier this
morning. II was the horribly Jiangled
body of a man. The trunk was severed,
the mead was almost cut off, one arm
was jammed off, and the body was ter
ribIy bruised. The face was covered with
blood and bruises, thus making identih-
cation difficult.
The body was lying on the Central
Vermont railroad track near the shop OF
the Montpelier Grocery company. The
man may nave been lying in the path of
a train, or he may have tried in vain
TO board a moving train as it passed
through.
If The death was due TO the latter
cause, he probably was killed by the
early morning passenger train to this
city from Montpelier Junction. The
crew Of the early morning freight, which
passed ahead, report that they saw no
man or signs of body when they passed
the spot, although it is admitted they
might not have seen it on account of the
darkness.
On orders Of Mayor Dawley and Health
Officer Lindsay, the body was removed
to Johonnott & Halls undertaking rooms.
The body was clothed in checked trous-
ers, a dark coat. soft shirt and black
shoes. A few feet away was cap hav-
ing visor. the features were regular.
The hair was dark and curly, while a
short mustache was Of light color
A wallet in the coat contained $28 in
bills and in the trousers pockets was
found 500 in change. There were sew
eral blank envelopes, blank book and
some blank papers also in the pockets
of the coat On the first page of the
blank book was the name Carttelli Do
menica. There was no other writing,
but several columns of figures. indicating
that they had been made by a workman
figuring up his time.
A large number of people visited the
rooms to view the remains,
among whom were many Italians, as it
was thought that the victim was an
Italian granite cutter who had been en-
ployed either in Barre or in Mont.
pelier.
