Legislative Notes.

Orleans. Essex and Caledonia counties
took the leading parts in the telephone
war created 10y the public utilities bills
which were given a public hearing last
week The leading members in favor of
the bill were F. { Williams Of Ne port
and O. T Davis Of Brighton The indie
pendent companies were represented by
W. K. Aldrich Of Barton Landing, Bert
Moore Of Newport Hugh Buchanan Of
Barton Landing II. b. Howe of St.
lohnsbury and Manager Seeley of the
Citizens Telephone Co. of ST. Iohnsbury.
John W. Redmond, chairman Of the Rail
road commission appeared for the bill,
having been requested to be present by
the committee who gave The hearing.
1t is unfortunate that the telephone
war has ass7m,d such proportions at
this time. 1t may become So bitter that
other legislation may be affected
There has been SO much talk about a
leader for the House that ! have made
many inquiries among the members as to
Just who of all members was the most
influential in shaping or killing legsla-
ton. Without exception the answer has
been that honors were about even be
tween J. A. DeBoer of Montpelier and
Harland b. Howe of St. Iohnsbury. 1t
is indeed a high compliment for a demo-
crat to De recognized as a leader in

WOman'S Club.

The December meeting of the st. Johns
bury Woman's Club was one of the
most delightful of the year, although the
bad weather and walking kept away a
large number of club members. The
club voted $50 to the music committee
and $50 to the social committee for the
expense of gentlemen's night in Feb.
ruarv.
The president acknowledged the re-
ceipt of calendars from the Bratteboro
Woman's Club, the Hypatia Club,
Waterbury, and the Lyndon Union Club
Mrs. Elizabeth Carpenter announced the
proposed class in current events and
asked all interested to hand her their
names. The quarterly statement OF the
treasurer showed S235.1S in the
treasury.
The program of the afternoon was
arranged by the committee on trave
and current events, Mrs. Elizabeth l.
Carpenter, chairman. The first speaker
was Miss Martha Hall, who told o
her travels in Europe last summer. She
spoke particularly of trip among the
mountains of Switzerland and Of the
days spent at the English fishing hamlet
Clovelly, made famous by Charles
Kingsley in westward Ho.' Her paper
was greatly enjoyed.
Miss Mary E. Ide gave very inter
estng description Of Japan and the
japanese as they impressed her in a
years residence in. that country. She
dwelt upon the three strongest charac-
teristics of the peoplc,-politeness, clean
illness and love of beauty and described
many of the manners and customs that
diherentate that land from ours The
paper was made more vivid by an in

ton recommended that the bills be paid
in full. The senate committee again con-
sidered the matter and were unanimous
in recommending that the bills be paid IN
full. 1t is said that Auditor Graham,
Ex.- Sec. of State Fleetwood and Mr..
Wing, who let the contracts, all favored
paving the bills. No one questions the
fact that the state had their moneys
worth, and the opinion seems to prevail
that the offending printers have been
kept on the rack long enough Although
some Of the House members say they
will not accept the Senate amendments,
it is probable that the bills will finally
be paid in full.
No cases of small pox have been report
ed among the members or at Montpelier
and it is now thought that all danger IS
passed There were many sore arms
among members as they arrived at the
capital after the recess and any member
who had not spent three or four days OF
his vacation in bed as a result of vaccina-
ton was not considered strictly up to
date. Senator Gibson of Bratteboro
returned after the recess but when It
was learned that other members of his
family had bcen taken sick with small
pox while he was athome it was thought
be> by the local authorities that he re-
turn home until all possibility of danger
wa passed.

Arthur Wilson Run Over BY Al
Heavy Wagon.
BICYCLE FRIGHTENED HORSE
Man Thrown From Horse Under
Wagon Wheel--Worked For Geo.
w. Buxton For Years.

"A shocking accident occurei here
shortly after six O'Clock Tuesday even
ing in which Arthur Wilson, aged 80
years an enploye at Mr. Geo. w.
Buxton's brick yard and farm at the
northeast edge of town, was killed by
having his neck broken.
The man was driving Mr.. Puxton's
four-horse team, the wagon beln- load
ed with coal, intended for use at the
brick yard. At the intersection OF
North Queen and Second streets,
Andrew Srnalz came riding along on a
bicycle. The wheel made aswerve and
threw the rider off and almost under
the wagon. This frightened the horse
Wilson was riding and it began to
plunge and kick. Wilson was thrown
off the horse and directly under the
front wheel of the heavily loadeo
wagon. The wheel passed over the
PROSTATE mans head back of the ear
fracturing his skull and breaking his
neck
The team was stopped, the unfortun-
ate man removed to the side of the
street and DR.. S. N. Myers hastily
summoned. When he arrived he found
Wilson's life extinct, his death having
been almost instant. That his head
was not not crushed seems 6 great
wonder.
Coroner w. r. Cline ueemed an In
quest unnecessary as death was the
result of an unavoidable accident.
The accident was witnessed by a
number of people passing at the time
and occasioned much excitement in
the neighborhood for while.
Later the body was brought to the
undertaking establishment of VIM. H.
WHEN and prepared for burial
The deceased is survived by his
aged mother, with whom he lived on
the Buxton farm, and one brother,

Industrious man and faithful. He
worked for many years for Mr.. Bux-
ION and was well liked by everybody
Some years ago he had foot cut on
by mower I'M the hay field, but had
an artificial foot as substitute. His
sad death has caused much sorrow in
the neighborhood where he lived

Firemen Say Must Have Big
lime In May
RYNEAL co. TAKES A HAND
Business Men Lend Encouragement
To the acknowledgement
Now Under Way

Some Of the newspapers in the val
ley have been twitting Martlnsburg
about its failure, after several at
tempts, to get up a big firemen's
demonstration for the convention of
the G. v. Firemen's association to be
held here on May 20. But we are
going to have it yet, even if the
time is pretty short in which to pre-
pare.
AT a meeting of Ryneal Co. No on
Tuesday night the boys decided to
have a three-days' firemen's blowout
at the time indicated, and to get down
to hard work at once and maze it go.
A committee of three, consisting OF
Martin Quinn, Floyd Anderson and w.
f. Slaughter, was appointed to can
vass the business men and others of
town for the necessary funds. Tbs
committee will commence active work
work this evening. The men are con-
fident that they can secure the money
without much trouble
"A number of the business men have
almost forced the firemen to take
this action, being convinced, on second
thought, that it would be shame for
Martinsburg not to get up some cred
table demonstration in honor of the
annual convention of the association.
and have given the assurance OF their
hearty support to the movement. This
fact has greatly encouraged the fire.
men and strengthened their belief that
they can make the proposed demon
stration big success.
1t is proposed to have three days OF
fun. The first day will be devoted to
the convention with big pare.de in
the afternoon The second day will be
for drills and races and band con-
tests in the evening, continuing to the
morning of the third day.
Invitations viii be sent abroad at
once to various organizations to come
over and help us. $50
