daughter fell on top of her. Rose was

JAIL FOR LIFE.
Domenico TeH Tried For Murder at
Rocldand.

Rockland, Me-, April -Domenico
Teti, who was convicted two years ago
Of the murder Of Raphael Conforto, was
again sentenced to life Imprisonment in
the Thomaston state prison yesterday
afternoon, the law court having denied
his appeal for q new trial.
Jan. 10, 1907, several Italians were
gathered in the Grover house on Ach0rn
street, this city. Among those present
were Conforto, Teti, Vito Montisano and
Vito Florentino. A quarrel occurred be.
tween Montisano and Eorentino, and
ss the former was being put out OF the
room by those who interfered the de-
fendant drew his revolver with the
threat TO shoot any one who should
harm Montisano, his boarding house
keeper.
Immediately following this fracas
MontiMno. Conforto. Florentino and
Teti left the house one after the other
Very shortly after their going two pis-
tol shots were heard, and presently the
body Of Confortn, pierced BY bullet
from a 3S-caiibre revolver, was discos.
cred on the sidewalk.
The law courts. IN reviewing the tes-
timony, found no suggestion that any
body had fred shots save Teti and Flor
netino, and 1t did not appear from the
evidence that the latter had a weapon.
On the other hand, Teti fled from the
state and in doing 50 threw overheard
revolver Of the same caiibre as that
from which the fatal shot WAS fired. The
Jury was consequently warranted IN
eonvieting Teti, according to the law
court.

Two Miles Of Track Washed
Out on Rutland R. R.
TRAINMEN WERE CAUTIOUS
Burlington People Were Fearful Of a Ca.
tastrophe, as They Were Not Able
to Get Word from Miss Train
For Long Time.

Burlington, April 22.--For three hours
last noight the southbound train due in.
to Burlington over The Datland road at
1910 was as completely lost as far as
any information regarding it in this city
went as though the earth had swallowed
it up. The train was reported as leav-
ing South Hero at 1910 and was there
fore expected in here in less than 20
minutes. The time went on and when
1880 was reached every one became
anxious. Inquiries were made and it
WAS found that both the Central Yer.
mont and Rutland telegraph lines were
useless. Every point that was known
to have a telephone along The line was
called mp but no report was received
until nearly one o'clock when the train
had backed into South Hero.
The strong south wind coupled with
the higt water had washed out two
miles Of the long fll between South
Hero and Colchester and the water was
reported as washing completely over the
track Instructions had been given the
trainmen to be especially careful in ap-
preaching the fll and TO this Is no doubt
due the avoiding Of terrible accident
On the Central Vermont the water wash
ed out some OF the stringers in the
Rouses Point bridge and this was also
found TO be impossible
The passengers at the local station,
who had purchased tickets for points
over the Rutland. were refunded their
money or given tickets for other trains
as soon as the trouble was learned at
the station. II is not known when the
track can be repaired, probably not be-
fore the water goes down. The track
through the islands has been singilarly
fortunate in not having been troubled
with washouts before during the high
water season.

apparatus he was able 10 see plainly
objects on the bottom Of the pond and

with the exception Of the dam. Chiott

on the part of his helpers who had little
previous experience with boats and to-
day another boatman from Burlington.

to the American schooner. But the last
series Of shots meant business.
The gun was pointed at the fish boat,
which was then at a distance Of about
200 yards, and still making for the open
sea as rapidly as possible. The bullets,
which were aimed high, ripped the main
sail Of the schooner and one or two
knocked splinters of the mainmast.
Captain Sinclair feared that he would
be sunk right there If he did not stop.
At the same moment the second gun
Of the eKstrel was swung across her
lock 10 get into range of the fishing boat.
The Woodbury's engines were then stop

bullets, hauled down. A few minuSes

Kestrel boarded the Woodbury. and took
charge.

clares that if he ever had clear case
against an American vessel this is the
one. Early Sunday afternoon, he de-
