cURrAILs LIQUOR BUSINESS.
Licensees Can Make No More Deliveries
Through Express Companies.

Rutland, Feb. 25.-The business OF
the second and seventh class liquor Ii
censes Of this city will be greatly Of
fteted by the refusal OF the American
Express company 20 deliver liquor 10
persons living In surrounding towns or
oven outside Of the city limits. The ex
press Office In this city gave notice to
these licensees that they could not han
die any more such shipments Of liquor.
This action on the part Of the ex-
press company is the result OF law
passed by the last legislature, one clause
Of which provides that no person shall
act as agent or carrier for person,
other than the members Of his own
family, to purchase, carry, furnish or
deliver liquor from license OF the sec
ond and seventh classes
The penalty for violation Of this law
Il imprisonment for not more than one
year or $500 fine or both.
Local liquor dealers holding licenses
Of the second and seventh class admit
that the Law will greatly diminish their
business. One dealer brought up the
Point that he believed the state made n
contract with the licensees last May
when il granted them the right 10 sell
liquors for year and he doubted the
states right to step in and try to en-
force prohibition not in the original
contract before the year Is up. II is
quite probable that a test viii be made
of this point.

AS is the case with all occurrences
where tragedy Is uppermost, the col
lislon between the Republic and the
Florida brought out some amusing In
cldents. Here is one:
When the Republic passengers were
taken on board the Baltic many of
them had saved practically none OF
their belongings. One lady. arrayed
in a nightgown and fur coat, all she
had brought with her from the sinking
ship, climbed over the side Of the Bal
tic and spied a sort Of bulletin board
on which notices Of interest to the
passengers were posted. The follow
ing caught that lady's eye:
Lost. gold button. Finder

one fur coat looked long and solemnly

EARTHQUAKES.
They Are Not the Most Terrible Of the
Worlds cstastrophes.

Worlds cstastrophss.
II ia the general opinion that earth
quakes constitute the most terrible Of
the worlds catastrophes both as re
CARDS loss Of life and destruction OF
property.
This. however, Is not 80.
The conyulsion IN southern Italy
killed not less than 100000 people, and
In this respect Il Is easily tho most
dreadful occurrence Of its kind. The
historic Lisbon earthquake. which
ranks next below It IN regard 10 the
number OF fatalities, caused 10000
deaths In that one city alone and about
an equal number elsewhere. The South
American one Of 1867 was responsible
for 10000. That which destroyed Alep-
po IN 1872 slew 10000. These are the
four worst earthquakes concerning
which anything Ike reliable statistics
are obtalnable. and the total combined
loss Of life. Il viii be observed, did not.
at any rate. exceed $4,000.
But when the Yellow river burst fits
banks In September, 1887. more than
100000 people were drowned In the
resultant great flood. which covered to
an average depth Of SIX feet a popu-
lous Chinese province the sire Of Scot
land. Thus IN this one catastrophe
more lives were lost than In all the
earthquakes recorded in the worlds
history.
Then, again, there Is pestilence. The
black death killed In China. where It
broke out, 100000 people, In the rest
OF Asia 24000.000 and 100000 IN
Europe, OF 07.0O0.000 in all. In India
alone, and that within the past twelve
Years, the bubonic plague has slain
over 100000 OF our fellow subjects,
and the epidemic still RACES.
or there are famlnes. which run
plaques close second. The one that
ragged in Bombay and Madras In 1877,
for example, slew 100000 people,
and that which prevailed in northern
China In the same year and which
was due TO the same climatic causes
cost 0.500.o00 lives.
No! Earthquakes. terrible though
they strike the Imagination as being

WOMAN FOUND DEAD.
In Bathroom of Hotel at Rutland Yes
terday Morning.

Rutland, Feb. 2s.--Miss Margaret
Edmunds, graduate nurse of the Rut-
land City hospital, was found dead in
bathroom at The Bardwell yesterday
morning about o'clock. An autopsy
was held at the undertaking rooms Of
John B. Stearns yesterday afternoon
to determine the cause Of death. Moth.
ing was discovered in the bathroom
which gave any indication of a suicide
nor is Miss Edmunds known to have
complained Of feeling i'll recently. She
had been at the hotel only few days,
caring for Mrs. f. l.. Stevens Of Or
well.
The nurse went to the bath room
late Tuesday night. telling her patient
that she was going to take bath. When
IL was learned yesterday morning that
she had not returned to her room an
employee of the hotel looked into the
bath room through the transom over
the door and saw the woman's body clad
In night dress, lying on the floor.
Health Officer Clarence f. Hall was inn
mediately notified and on his arrival at
the hotel the door Of the bath room,
which had been locked by Miss Ed
munds, was broken open and an exami,
nation of the body and premises was
made. The woman had evidently been
dead several hours.
The water in the bathtnb and wash
bowl was running when the body was
found, and from the position Of the body
ii il believed that the wamon was
stricken while standing at the washbowl
preparing to battle.
Miss Edmunds was between 30 and
IS years old. She came TO this city
from Smith Falls, Ont, to take a
course in nurses' training at the hos
pital from which she graduated Febru-
airy 9. last. Her relatives have been
notified of her death and some of them
are expected to arrive in this city Fri
day.

ENGINEER FATALLY INJURED;
MAIL CLERK HURT
Engine and Baggage Car Hurled Fifty
Feet Down Under TrestIe Near
Spokane-No One
Killed
rBv Associated Press I

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 21.-Fatally
injuring Engineer Gillett and seriously
injuring the mail clerk, the engine and
baggage car of the south boHnd Spo-
kane Falls and Northern passenger
train plunged through a tifty-foot
trestle two miles south of Darts siding
today. The rest of the train remained
on the track The mail car caught fire.
The wreck occurred about twenty miles
south of Spokane.
The accident occurred while the train
was rounding a curve. Smoke from
brush fires prevented the engineer from
seeing the bridge was on fire until it
was too late to stop.
The engine ran clear across before
the bridge broke, letting the baggage
and mail cars drop into the ravine.
The weight of the cars dragged the
engine back and down, but fortunately
coupling connections with the rest of
the train broke, leaving the two pas
senger cars standing on the brink
above.
All the passengers escaped safely,
but the blazing wreck communicated
to the cars still on the track and all
the coaches were burned.
Latest reports state that Engineer
Gillett is not dead, but sustained in
juries about the head.
Mark Hanna was the conductor of the
train, but escaped injury.
