MANY IMPROVEMENTS.
Brandon Italian Marble Company
Makes Changes and Additions.


During the past few weeks the man.
agement of the Brandon Italian Marble
company, all OF whose mills are located
near the center of the village, has made
many notable improvements, though
what has already been accomplished is
but the beginning. Much of the work
done recently has been done under cover,
though great deal of outside improve
ment has been done at the same time.
For the present, without more being
done, the Middlebury mills are as well
equipped for their work as any in the
State; and when all is completed they
will be models of convenience and eff
cheney.
Heavy plank flooring has been laid
throughout the whole of the north MILL
or finishing shop, thus serving several
purposes this large shop will be more
easily heated, trucking is expedited, and
breakage of stock reduced, besides in
creasing the comfort and conv enience of
the employees.
The marrow. gauge" railway runs now
through the full length of this building !;
and with this modern convenience one
horse can haul the entire output of the
finishing shops. Extension is now being
made of the rails so that it will soon run
in an unbroken line from the mills,
or gangs through temporary covered
passage direct to the rubbing beds, from
the beds to the cutting department, from
the cutters to the polishers, the.ce to the
lNf.x 1orNn mil all
under one roof, go out to the dock only a
few feet away to be loaded on the cars
for shipment.
The wood working end of the business.
the boxing shop, will be installed in the
end of the finishing shop next week and
the present shop will be taken down,
thus giving more yard room, which is
needed.
At the present time there is a tenn
porary covered way joining the middle,
or north saving mill with the finishing
shops, with tracks laid. Later this pas
sage will be increased by the raising of
permanent walls, virtually making an
other mill building, which will serve the
double purpose of giving more floor
space for the large business, and as a
passage connecting the rough-sawing
with the finishing departments.
Pneumatic cutting tools have been in
use for several years, and new inn
proved and enlarged air compressor and
container will be added to this part of
the equipment at once
Other extensive changes are contem-
plated, all of which will be of interest to
Middebury, as the welfare of the mar
BILE mill means to great extent the pros
perity of the town.
The Brandon Italian Marble company
may well be congratulated upon its sue
cess.

PRAISED FOR
WASHINGTON OFFER.
Tells OF Plan to Install Pasteuri-
cation Plant.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ls.-Nathan
Straus, of New York, called on District
Commissioner mcfarland and formal
ly offered to install a pasteurization
plant in the district provided it shall
be maintained and operated by the
municipality. Mr.. MacFarland will
submit the proposition to the commits
sioners as soon as additional informa-
ton concerning the cost of the project
is obtained.
The commissions assured Mr.. Straus
of his high appreciation of his offer,
which, he said, would receive careful
consideration. The installation of q
pasteurization plant has never been
considered. and the cost, he said, would
have to be known at the outset, as it
would require a congressional appro-
p~riation, for which the commissioners
would have to submit an estimate.
Mr.. Straus replied that ne believed
the necessary data could be obtained
from his own pasteurization plant in
New York.
Senator Gallinger. who is a physician,
chairman of the Senate district COM
mittee, assured Mr.. Straus he would
cooperate with him in the effort to
obtain an appropriation for the main
tenance of the pasteurization plant
which Mr.. Straus has offered to give
the district.

One reason so many people take colo
during the winter months. according to
a well-known authority, is the hot, dry
atmosphere indoors. due TO imperfect heat
ing. II we were as careful to keep the
air in our rooms moist as we are to keep
them warm, there would be less occasion
for cough medicine than is now the case.
OF all the so-called minor ills OF the

common cold" The cough irritates the
mucous membrane of the throat. lungs and
bronchial organs, leaving them sore and

A simple, inexpensive cough medicine
can be made by mixing. two ounces OF

LETTERS SHOW
MURRAY PLANNED
DOUBLE MURDER
Shooting of Former Sweetheart
and Rival Premeditated by
Hospital Orderly.
Especial to the Newark start


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1s.-The man
who shot and probably fatally wounded
his former sweetheart, Mamie Carey,
and William Bostick, who succeeded
him in her affection, and then killed
himself, has zeen positively identified
as Joseph e. Murray, an orderly of the
New Jersey State Hospital for the In
sane at Morris Plains, N. J..
That the shooting was premeditated
was shown by letters which Murray,
who was also known as Ellwood Bird,
sent to Miss Carey. He called on The
young woman at her apartments, 12S
North Seventeenth street, where she
was known as Bostick's wife, on Thurs
day evening, and at the height of a
stormy interview Bostick came in the
house. The young woman introduced
Murray as her stepbrother, explaining
that her mother had been married
twice.
Murray was evidently taken aback
by the manner in which the girl took
the situation, and left the house. She
"a orders to the landlady that the
man should not be admitted il he called
again, saying he was her brother and
was angry because of her marriage,
The woman believed this. as Miss Carey
Lad received a number OF letters un-
der the name of Murray.
Murray came back several times and
demanded to be admitted, but vas re-
fused admittance, and at "a late hour
he was seen sitting on the doorstep.
Before leaving the house to go to her
place Of employment yesterday Miss
Carey informed the landlady that she
would have her things removed later
in the day, as she was afraid to stay
at the house any longer, saying that
she knew her "brother" was in earnest
in his threats. Loving epistles written
by the young woman as late as
Wednesday were found in Murray's
pockets when the body vas searched at
the morgue.
Miss Carey net Murray in an uptown
hospital, where she was employed as a
nurse and where he is said to have per-
formed the duties of an orderly. Short
ly after being graduated from the hos
pital training school Miss Carey be-
came i'll, and was unable to follow the
duties of a Nurse after her recovery.
She has since been employed at the
candy counter of Wanamaker's.
She met Bostick several weeks ago,
and became infatuated with him. He
knew OF her former associations with
Murray, but she always spoke of him
as Bird" and on meeting the man
Bostick did not think that it was Miss
Carey's former friend.

bROkAW SWEET
AND LOVELY TO
WIFE, He SAYS
Witness Calls Quarrels Scraps
and Denies Plaintiffs Charges
of Ill Treatment.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-W. Gould
Brokaw, the millionaire clubn1an, whose
pretty young wife Is suing him for sep
aration and has those remarkable eyes
which are almost world-famous TO-
cussed on $50, 900 a veal alimony, was
delighted today over the testimony of
the witnesses who hav appeared for
him.
Mr.. Brokaw's wealthy English
brother-in-law's testimony that the
husband was always "pronouncedly
sweet and lovely" to his wife, was
especially pleasing to the defendant.
Rumors of a prospective %reconcilia-
ton between the couple, arising from a
meeting of Billiard Blair, his wife's
brother, and Mr.. Brokaw, were en-
phatically denied today. The men met
outside the Mineola court, where the
trial is being held, before Judge Put
nam, shook hands, smiled, and Mr.
Brokaw thanked young Blair for the
fairness of his testimony.
Mr.. Brokaw's counsel are not decided
whether the defendant sh..n be q wit
ness in his w behalf, although it
may be necessary for him to take the
stand to controvert those portions of
the story of his wife which had to do
with his abuse in the privacy of their
apartments. Also, his testimony is
deemed essential to show his various
o~utbursts of jealousy were due to more
than the fanciful causes assigned by
the wife. He breads the ordeal and
will not go into the witness-box unless
such a step be imperative to save the
case. From the number Of witnesses
under it is likely tina the
case will run well through next week
1t was continued until Monday.
Mr.. Gilbert, a dashing man of middle
age, with a Observation-Disclosures Van
Dyke, was the most spectacular witness
OF the trial-not for the things ne said,
but for the way he said them. Neither
lawyers nor justice nor audience had
perhaps ever heard a witness make the
English language so perform He
talked in p~rose-poetry, n some of his
sentences were Shakespeanian. The
stenographer was gasping and sending
out c.. @. DIS after the first few words.
What was the manner of Mr.. Brokaw
toward his wife when they first visited
your home after their MARRIAGE" he
was asked by Attorney Mcintyre. >
"PronouncedIy sweet n lovely" said
MIR. Gilbert emphatically. Mr.. Brokaw
was most solicitous."
''Did you ever hear Mrs. Brokaw call
her husband names or say unpleasant
things to him?"
There are many congratulations
which I might ~epitomize,' began h
witness. This was too much for his
hearers and he got no further.
