Say Central Vermont Patrons About

II only wish that some Of the officials

Obliged to ride six miles to their Office

be able to appreciate what q warm and
comfortable train ii il to ride IN after
Il has stood for four hours without any
steam under it and the thermometer
on the side OF the station registering "a
degrees below zeros was only part
OF the remarks that could be heard al
the local G. " station this morning, as
the passengers were getting aboard the
S:23 train, which had been standing ii
front Of the station since ds30 o'clock
this morning, without any engine con
nected to keep the cars warm
When the train arrives in the early
morning the engine il taken Of and
attached to single combination baggage
and coach car for the trip to Williams
town, consequently the regular train
stands unheated until just before II is
time for the train TO pun ont at S:23,
and the passengers are forced to ride
in refrigerator cars TO the Junction.
Sometimes they are also forced TO ride
into the city in cold cars, ais, since the

Water Supt. Smith discovered this morn.
ing that during the night the water
pressure had been reduced from l40
pounds to 90 pounds, or not enough
hardly to force water out Of the hydfant.
tt fire had broken ont during the night
or early this forenoon, there would have
been serious proposition.
Supt. Smith accounts for the sudden
drop IN the pressure BY the fact that
10 many users Of the system left their
faucets running last night to prevent
freezing. When people in various parts
Of the city turned their faucets this
morning, they couldn't draw any water,
and in other places the motors wouldn't
run.
This trouble was sooe. remedied, how.
ever, when Supt Smith weni TO the
reservoir and opened the gate at the
benjamin Fails reservoir. and also at the
saw-mill Just above Ba found that the
water in the reservoir had been lowered
50 that 1t was nearly down tho pine

MAY BECOME BISHOP,
BURLINGTON DIOCESE
Rev. J. ]. Rice Of Ncrthbrdge, Mass, Il
the Latest One to be Mentioned
in Connection with Appoint
nent

Burlington, Dec 80. The latest re
port concerning the appointment Of
bishop for the diocese Of Burlington and
the only one to gain credence ii we'll.
formed circles, reached the city yesteF
day and WAS to the effect that the
Rev J, J. Rice Of Northhridee, Mass,
was to receive the appointment Az
though no official word has been received
as yet By either the priests Of the ca
thedral or ST. Josephs church, the IN
formation seems to come from source
which would lead to belief in the truth
of the rumor. The strange part of the
story is that the name Of Father Rice
in unknown in this state and il IA doubt
full whether a priest in the diocese Is
acquainted with him II has been learH-
ed, however. from an authentic
source that his name was at the head
Of the terna, presented BY the bishops
Of the province TO Rome last May.
1t has long heen believed that t "a
next bishop would not come from this
diocese and different rumors Of the ap
pointment Of priests from outside the
state have been repeatedly set ahoat
None, however, has gained any credene
and the churchmen have been quick to
voice their skeptieism. When asked to
eorrohorate this story, however, they
merely said that no word had yet been
received from official sources.
Two strong reasons for believing that
Father Rice is the man, are that he IN
known TO be a learned Franch scholar
and 10 have been educated in Rome.
The FIRST is strongly in his favor l,e-
cause Of the large number Of Freneh-
speaking people ID the diocese and It Is
almost necessary that the bishop be ac-
quainted with the language The fact
that he received several years training
I'm Rome Is also worthy OF considera-
tion, as Archbishop O'Connell Is known
10 be in favor Of the introduction Of
more Of the Roman forms OF worship
and Father Rice would be eminentlv
qualified 70 introduce these
Father Rice was ordained I6 years ago
and Is said TO be about 40 years 81 age.
He is native Of this country and re-
eeived large part Of his education here,
although he studied for two years or
more IN Rome. Practically All his serv-
ice has been in the diocese Of Spring
field and his last station has been in
Northbridge Of that diocese The parish,
where he has spent the past few years
is small one and the entire duties
have fallen upon him as it affords no
assistant.
