Victory for George Howard.

In passing down an opinion on the
case of State vs.. George Howard IF
Craftsbury, a former railroad COM
missioner, who was charged with
padding" his expense accounts to
the state of Vermont, the supreme
court of Vermont decided in favor of
Howard and ordered the cause re-
manded to county court. The lower
court verdict was $86. SO in favor of the
state. In the opinion the court holds
that state official need not inc owen
ience himself in the matter of charges
for per diem and expenses to the
State: that is going from home on
official business and his return may be
taken at suitable times and he can
charge the state for time and expenses
in such travel. In cases where 1T IS
not possible for the official to return
to his home over Sunday he is to be al
lowed to charge per diem and ex-
penses at a place on the route OF
travel. Furthermore. when the stage
conection from his home town to the
nearest railroad station is not good. he
can use his own team and charge the
state of Vermont for the team. All
these items appeared in the per diem
and Expense accounts of the former
railroad commissioner.

COLLISION KILLS FIREMAN
Helper and Freight Collide Near Orleans
Yesterday Morning and Fireman
Noakes Instantly Killed.

Yesterday morning at o'clock there
was bad wreck just north of the r:
L Chandler company's Veneer mill
at Orleans caused by a collision be-
tween through freight train going
south and the "helper" going north.
1t is reported that the helper received
orders at the summit to meet the
freight train at Newport and was told
to make fast run. The through
freight it is said had received orders
to meet the helper at Orleans and the
result of conflicting orders was bad
accident which resulted in the death of
the fireman, w. A. Noakes Of the help
er. On account of the veneer mill and
the road making a curve where the
accident occurred it was literally i'm
possible for the engineer to note the
danger until it was too late. The
impact was terrific and threw the
engineer of the helper through the
window of his cab. The fireman had
heard the wavering blast of the
freight engine as it is supposed he
stepped between the engine and tend
er to see down the road and on the
instant was caught between the two
and instantly crushed to death. 1t
was not until the wreck train arrived
that his body was released. Mr..
Noakes, lived at Newport and leaves
wife and little child, having been
married little over year. Mr.. .Cass,
engineer cf the helper, escaped with
but shaking up. The engineer of
the freight train had bone in one of
his feet broken and cut his head and
is not supposed to be seriously hurt.
The fireman escaped with few cuts
and bruises. The engines were pretty
badly wrecked. The tenders were a
total wreck. So also were several
of the freight cars. It was 9 80 be-
fore the track was cleared for traffic
and freight and passenger traffic was
stopped. The wreck drew quite a
large crowd of the village and sur
rounding country. Report has it that
the wreck was caused by mistake in
the dispatcher's Office at Lyndonville.
Joseph Folsom was engineer and Mr..
Reese was fireman of the freight.

Discovers Peat.

P. w. Damon has discovered deposits
of peat on his farm near this village.
Samples were sent to the Vermont
Agricultural experiment station and
the following quotation is from the let
ter received from Prof. Jones !:
Sample No. is rather low grade
due to the high percentage of ash
present. l would suggest that you
look your supply over and see if bet
ter grade material cannot be secured
from some other portion of the depos-
it. l notice that Sample No. con
tains number of small shells. We
have often found that where these oc-
cur there will be formation of quite
a considerable layer of oftentimes
quite pure carbonate of lime. If you
have run across anything of this kind
on your place | suggest that you SUBJ
nit sample to US for analysis that
the lime percentage can be deter
mined in case your farm operations
sho'ld require the use of this mater
ial. !" Deposits of peat are not known
to exist near here although large
quantities of it are found in the Unit
ed States and Canada. 1t is of little
commercial value but is often found
valuable as fertilizer if transporta-
tion distances are not too far. A Ger
man inventor has recently discovered
method of making wood from peat
and believes peat deposits will in the
near future become of greater use and
value. He Says the wood made from
peat is stronger than oak and from sc
to so per cent cheaper, and that all
kinds of work requiring wood can be
done with it. r4# u.....
