AssAILs FLETCHER.
Vermont Accident Insurance company's
Tan2le at Rutland.

Rutland, Feb. 24.--Charges of a
criminal nature we're made yesterday
against 9. @ Fletcher, ex-president Of
the Vermont Accident Insurance COM
pany, at the hearing Of the petition Of
Fletcher and his constituents for dis
solution of the injunction restraining
them from interfering with the busi-
ne of the company The hearing was
held before Judge Zed Stanton at Mid
dlebury last evening, both sides pre-
senting arguments
The trouble arose originally over
contested election Of directors at the
annual meeting held in January. The
Fletcher faction was defeated and they
claim that the election was Illegal. as
the proxies of the successful candidates
were not filed 30 days before the meet
ing as required by the bylaws After
the meeting the Fletcher men took pos.
session of the company's office by
force and an injunction was then serv-
Cd by the company restraining them
from interfering with the transaction
of business.
At last nights hearing attorney T,
w. Afoloney, representing the company,
IhhtktA EtSISnti Wftu ONctuTANliR his
salary account to the amount of $500
while he was president Of the company
and in divers ways using company
money for his own use. There were
other charges made by Mr.. Afoloney of
sensational nature. Among them was
the one that Fletcher was requested
to resign as president last November
which he did.
M. c. Webber, attorney for the Flet-
cher faction, viii file affidavits with
Judge Stanton supporting their side Of
the case
The real question in dispute is wheth
er proxies should bel filed 80 days be-
fore the annual meeting in order to
be voted. If this claim OF the Fletcher
men is upheld the present officers of
the company will be ousted.

Carelessness Of Boys.

Rutland, Feb. 24--The union depot
here used by the Rutland and Dele.
ware & Hudson railroads, was partial
ly destroyed by fire yesterday after
noon. The entire upper floor Of the
three. story brick building was gut
ted and the rest OF the building was
badly damaged by water. The loss is
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000
mostly covered by insurance.
The third story, whore the flames
started, was used as store room. II
was filled with an accumulation OF
books and papers dating back so years,
all Of which were lost. Some boy
clerks were in the attic when the fire
broka out and the trouble is believed
TO be due to their carelessness. The
FIRE was discovered by Guy b. Horton
Of Burlington, who saw the smoke is
suing from the roof as he stepped off
a train.
The hremen had stubborn two
hours fight and only by TIE hafdest
work did they confne the flames 10 the
one story The railroad clerks stuck
to the offices on the second story I'M
til the last moment Miss Alice Nourse
operator of the Rutland railroad tele-
phone exchange, and the train des-
patchers working for 10 minutes after
the flames began to roF over their
heads.
The part of the depot burned is the
original depot of the old tRutland g.

THE ONE ISSUE.
Communicated /

The one question to be decided by the
voters of Barre City and Town next
Tuesday Is not personal abstinence nor
the right of any individual to make use
Of stimulants. Our license law does
not touch these matters The voters
must decide for the best interests Of
their wives, children and themselves,
whether or not they wish our streets to
be kept clean from the disgraceful con-
ditions caused by the saloons as wit
messed during the year following May |,
1907.
That the past year under no-license
showed marked improvement in the
general appearance of North Main street,
all must acknowledge.
Ladies' who were obliged during the
previous year to pass by the long line Of
open saloons, threading their way
through the crowds of loafers, listening
to vile language and inhahng the odors
of beer, must appreciate the change.
The decrease in the number of intoxi-
Gated men upon our streets and in the
electric cars is very noticeable. Barre
citizens always have cordial welcome
for well-behaved visitors. but not for
those whose onlv errand is TO seek
liquor We were never proud OF being
the rendezvous for drunken loafers.
Every decent Barre citizen reioices in
the good order and clean appearance of
our city during the past year-and BY
his ballot will endeavor to maintain its
good reputation.

FRArERNIrTEs ABOLISHED.
Burlington School Board Took unani-
nous Action.

burlington. Feb. 24.--The school
board held its adjourned messing ,hst
evening and passed resolutions apol'
ishing high school fraternities The
yota ,vaa unanimous, all the members
Mn, rresent with the exception Of DR..
Iate,,r whose opinion was ascertain
"a nv telephone. The decision Of the
hoarJ was arrived at after a long and
ns;nstaking investigation, which con-
sumed nearly months time. All Of
the fraternities and societies were CIV
an hearing and an opportunity to
present their sides Of the question, The
board investigated the matter In an
unbiased and unpyreiudiced manner.
In taking the action which they did
the members Of tho board and only
following a national movement which
has swept through most OF the north
ern states Of the country, Chicago and
many Of the larger cities having preced-
ed them In this action. The report Of
the national board Of education also
supports the board in its view Of the
situation. In fact no educational au-
thorities have been found who favor
high school fraternties The few par
ents who favored The fraternities have
upon more careful consideration Of
the topic, agreed with the board, with
a very few exceptions.
The boards view that IN public
school no students should in any way
have preference over any other. The
argument which asked for supervision
on the part Of the instructors was ans
wered by the statement that the in
structors were employed by the city to
instruct all students Of the high school
and not 10 supervise outside clubs. In
regard TO the argument that the liter
AIRY work OF the frateriffties was valu.
able, the school board felt that its duty
was to provide plentiful amount Of
this work and will endeavor 70 do so
in the future. The board was also
strongly opposed to the drawing of any
arbitrary social lines in a public school.

TRYING EXPERIENCE
FOR 1000 PASSENGERS
Steamer cretic Floundered About in
Mud, Then Hit a Ledge and Was

Boston, Feb. 24.-After noundering

Island in the outer harbor, the White
Star steamer Cretic, inward bound with
nearly 1000 passengers from Moditer.
ranean ports on board, brought up ON
C,nturian Ledge, half mile east Of
the fort in the lower harbor at 1880
o'clock last night, and was apparently
in dangerous position at an early
hour this morning.
The Cretic while slowly working her
way through the main ship channel sud
denly deviated from her course and
grounded in the mud on the easterly
side of Fort Warren at 1880, signals
for assistance which were Immediately
sent up, were seen by the lie saving
station at Stony Beach. Hull and the
life savers mt OF 10 the steamer.
The Cretie worked herself free with
IN baIf nm hour. but appeared TO have
lo.t her ruddcr At 30 she struck
centurian Ledge and at an early hour
mis- morning appeared TO be resting on
the rocks amidships. The tide was
within two hours Of food when she
struck and il was thought tugs might
be able to float her about, 1880 a. m,
her bottom is not damaged
Five tugs left the city at midnight
for the scene. The weather was thick
when the accident occurred, with
moderate rain falling. The wind, which
was blowing at the rate of 10 miles an
hour from the eastward kicked up a
rough sea.
The officers at Fort Warren turned
on the power Of the searchlights TO aid
the steamers officers and the tugboats
The tugs pulled the Cretic into deep
water at t:15 a. m, and towed her to
quarantine. This steamer was not
badly damaged.
