WILL SPEAK AT ST. AL6ANs
Col. Bennett Young of Kentucky Who
Lead Celebrated Raid.

St Adams, April 13-Bennett H.
Young of Louisville, KY, major-gen-
eral commanding the Kentucky Divi.
sion, u. c. V, has accepted the invita-
ton of the committee in charge of The
arrangements to be orator of the day
on st. Adams day. July 3, when the
railroad city will do its part in the
tercentenary celebration. Colonel
Young, while still in his teens, led
the famous st Adams raid on the af
ternoon of October 10, 1864, and It
was one of the few occasions when
the war was carried into the North
and as 1t was an incident teeming
with interest to Vermonters, the com
mittee is expecting that large crowds
will be present to see and hea. Colo
mel Young.
That the interest is keen is evil
denced by the remark of one man who
participated in the affair and was one
of the losers in the raid, who said that
there was no man in the country
whom he would travel so far to see
as Bennett Young.
Colonel Youngs letter to the com.
mittee follows

TARIFF BILL HAS
REACHED SENATE
CALENDAR
Consideration Of Measure to
Begin on Thursday
MORE CHANGES TO COME
Report of Finance Committee Did NOT
Include All Proposed Read
justments.

Washington, April 13.-The amend
ed tariff bill is now on the Senate
calendar and by an agreement reacn-
ed on the floor consideration OF the
measure will begin on Thursday.
Committee to Make More Changes
AS reported the bill does not con-
tain all of the changes in rates winch
the finance committee proposes 10
make. Although several important
amendments. such as the restoration
of the Dingley rates on women
gloves and hosiery, the placing OF
works of art on the free list, ana the
assessment of duty on iron ore nave
made the revenue producing posi-
bilities of the bill are little changed.
The increases are provided mainly
in the schedule covering luxuries, the
entire liuuor schedule being material
" advanced. The increase on wines
and spirits is expected to bring IN
about s3.000,000 additional revenue.
Revenue Features of Measure.
In discussing the revenue features
of the bill, Senator Aldrich insisted
that as It will be amended by the Sen
ate. the Payne bill provides sufhcient
funds to meet the expenses OF tne
government without resorting to any
but import taxes. In this connection
those articles which the federal gov
eminent purchases in large quantities
in foreign markets are to be provided
with lower rates OF duty
No Maximum and Minimum Rates
No maximum and minimum proyis-
inns or administrative features, which
include additional forms of taxation,
were reported the bill. THESE
sections of the measure are to receive
the Joint consideration of the Repub-
lican and Democratic members OF the
finance committee and may not be re-
norted for three weeks or more.
Philippine Free Trade Section.
Resides the dutiable~ and free list,
the only additional provisions OF the
PAYNE bill reported was the Philip
nine section. the committees report
included a new draft Of this provision
nv which it's successful operation Will
he assured. 1t has been suggested
that the provision for the free entry
of 900. 900 tons of sugar and S00,00o
mounds of tobacco should permit the
imnortation under these limitations
of products from neighboring Islands
through their importation into the
PHILIPPINES. This danger has been
by making these products
dutiable when imported into the Phil
ippines.
Cotton and Wool Schedules.
Changes were made in the cotton
and wool schedules of interest largely
to the manufacturers of cotton and
wolen cloths. The action OF the
finance committee in maintaining the
high rate of duty which it placed ON
ops at the time the Dingley bill was
Under consideration, and which now
stands in the present law. will UNI
reopen the controversy on
he wool schedules.

Fast c. V. Train Runs Down Two
Near Roxbury.

bound New England States limited on
the Central Vermont railway ran down
William Cone and little daughter at
The twin bridges near the Roxbury
line and both were killed The mans
body was found on the rocks below
while a long search is in progress for
the remains of the girl, many citizens
of Roxbury and all the section men
from here joining in the hunt
The trainmen say that when the
flyer arrived here the engineer stated
that he saw the man and girl on the
track. that he whistled and as he sped
along asked the fireman if they hit
anybody The latter said Il believe
not On attending TO his duties
about the locomotive here. the fireman
was shocked to find it blood stained
and portion OF the girls dress on the
COW catcher
The place where the accident occur
red is about four and a half miles
south of the Mortified station and
search along the track revealed moth
ing of the girl except portion of her
head near the bridges.
1t is the theory of the searchers
that Cone laid the girl on the bridge
beside the track hoping that she might
escape. His body was found with
several ribs broken and the entire up
per portion of the skull gone includ-
ing its contents. The wound was
such as to take away nearly half the
face leaving one eye. The body was
evidently struck in the side by the
train, thrown over the bridge and
landing on the head on the rocks in
the river 20 feet below.
Cone was an Industrious workman,
aged about 40 years and leaves a wife
and three other children beside Min

and govern. He really believes that
the Lord searches the hearts Of men,
their inward springs of motive and
that some day an account will be call
ed for before the throne-the Great
White Throne if you please.
With such an on-look, with such
principles of action. what do yon sup
pose he thinks of those salary grab
bers?" What do you suppose he
thinks of this whirling mess of poll
ticians, who are in it "for what there
is in it?" What do you suppose he
thinks of the present administration,
whose chief executive sets the graft
ball rolling; first, by adding a stenc
grapher to his own Office; next, by
thribbling the salary of his secretary;
next, by nearly doubling the revenue
of his campaign manager; next, by
putting to the expense of the state
all the junkets of his useless staff. to
Washington and elsewhere; and then
as a fitting final touch, by a two-thirds
increase of his own personal salary?
How could we expect governor OF
that kind would protect our best as
set the noble deer, whose dying eye,
thank God, | have never looked into or
that he would veto an increase of pay
to his servile tools, although well-nigh
flooded with dispatches to thus save
the honor of the state?
Every drop of his blood. every
nerve of his frame is filed with indig-
nation at such disgraceful conditions
and | have every reason to believe
that he will take good care of his
health so as to contribute his utmost
to see that two years hence we have
a governor of backbone and legisla-
ture prepared for a genuine house
cleaning; for now the putrid, rotten,
mass stinks.

Only -Four Sales a Month.

passed a resolution which will re-
duce the number of sales during
the month Of May on the ware
house floors from every day to
four times a month, Friday be-
ing the day each week that sales
will be made. This is done be-
cause the supply Of tobacco in
the hands Of farmers to be offer
ed in the Durham market is
small and there is no necessity
to have sales every day in the
week. After the month Of May
is past there will be no sales IN
til the first of August when the
new crop will begin coming in.
