BACK OF THE SUIT.
Two Vermont Insurance Companies are

Middlebury, Feb. 5.-WhiIe o. c.
TfAntley Of Leicester Junction was on
the witness stand yesterday in his suit
against the Rutland railroad company
for damages owing to the destruction
of his hotel by fire, which he claims
WAS caused by the spark OF loeomo-
tive, il developed that the insurance
companies are tho actual plaintiffs in
the case. The Vermont. Mutual and
Inion Mutual paid him 5000 for his
loss within 30 days after the fire. On
cross examination the theory Of the de
feilse was shown to be that the fire
might have caught from stove in the
harness room or by a lantern left
lighted in the barn.
Most Of the afternoon was taken up
with the testimony of Miss Christine
Huntley, who gave a list Of the articles
destroyed in the hotel and an estimate
Of their value. This testimony was
more tiresome than Honer's catalogue

SHARP CRITICISM.
OF Some Of The Methods Of Municipal
Business in Burlington.

Burlington, Feb. 5.-Some rathel
sharp criticisms are made by the frn
OF Alfred Rose 4 Co., Of New Yorl
which recently audited the accounts o.
the city OF Burlington The auditors
report that there has been no improve
ment in the book keeping OF the street
department and that they are unable
10 give detailed statement as the dis
tiihution Of the expenditures is not re
liable.
Relating TO the school department
the auditors reports
The cash disbursements were checked
and all vouchers found in good order
and properly approved.
The suggestion made in our report Of
last year regarding the. taking Of an in
ventory OF books aud supplies has. not
been carried out, and we are, therefore
unable 10 verify the sales.
Statements showing the collection Of
tuition fees by the various schools were
produced, but we found no schedule OF
scholars and amounts that should have
been collected. In consequence we have
bean unable 10 verify the amounts
outstanding.
AZ was the case last year, we found
that some disbursements had been made
for which there were no warrants.
On verifying the bank account we
were unable 10 trace some Of the re-
cjpls into the department books, and
on calling the attention Of the superin-
tendent to the matter he informed US
that some OF the receipts were in re-
speet OF sales made by him personally
"a the students Of books which he had
purchased direct from publishers. We
ore somewhat at loss 20 understand
why IL should be necessary for tho
superintendent to purchase these books
on his personal account, although he
gives ms the reason that he can OBJ
tain credit from publishers whereas
the city cannot. We do not wish TO
convey the impression that there Is
anything questionable in these tran.
saetions, but TO say the least, they are
irregular. However, the superinten-
dent- informs us that this mode OF
purchasing Is made with the consent
of the school commissioners,

TO BUILD NEW PLANT.
Hoyt & Lebourveau Purchase a Site on
SortwelI & Morse Meadow.

With view TO erecting large mod
eru granite plant, Hoyt & Lebourveau,
who recently sold their place OF business
TO Dessuro & Co., have purchased a site
on the Sortwell & Morse meadow at
North Barre and on the line OF the Mont
pelier & Wells River railroad They viii
have plans drawn at once and will finish
the other details SO that the actual
work OF construction can start as soon
as the weather becomes favorable in the
spring. They paid $1,000 for about an
acre of land, which is large enough to
accommodate good sized plant and still
leave room for dumping purposes.
The building which they will put up
is to be modelled after the two structures
which are now under process OF construc-
tion on this same meadow for Marion
& 0'Ieary and the Dewey Column CUT
ting Works. II will, Of course, be of the
straight type Of granite plant and about
lS5 feet long. When completed, it will
be thoroughly equipped with modern ma
chineTy and appliances, so that the firm
viii be able to do good work in the most
uptodate manner
This Sortwcll 4 Morse meadow, which
y jtSS t&tttS1 kttt iIAtf ltQHl ioNtf NidlU
street, Is already good-sized hive of
industry, Hoyt u Lebourveau being the
sixth firm to locate there within COM
paratiyely few years. The Leland h
Hall company (now the Leland company
was the pioneer to start there. followed
by Guidici Bros, Presbrey, Coykendall
company, Marion & O'Leary and the
Dewey Column Cutting Works The
plants Of the last two named will be
completed for occupancy within a few
months at the outside. Hoyt 4 Lebour-
veau are to be located opposite the Le-
land company's plant. This latter COM
pany recently purchased an additional
site just south Of their plant. and the
extra land is now being used for dump
ing purposes. but can be utilized for
increased facilities when wanted.

go g BE- n Debt.

There is good sense in the contention
of President Faunce Of Brown that it
IS better for an impeeunious student
TO be in debt at the time of his gradu-
alton than that his health should have
been impaired BY worry and oyerwork
in seeking the wherewithal to pay his
way through college. The trouble in
applying this suggestion Is that the col
lege loan funds are not always large
enough 10 meet al the applications.

past been considered a factor in the
school championship Of Vermont and
which had previously defeated Mont

humbled by the same team at Montpelier
last night by the score of 30 to l6. This
result rather hurts whatever claim Peo-

title this year, as Spaulding high Of
this city has twice defeated Montpelier
high, once on the latter's floor.
The Peoples team outweighed Mont
peliar last night, but the latter was
stronger in team work and more adept
in locating the baskets. Towle was the
star basket thrower, getting nine from
the floor. while Weafer was the best man
for the visiting team, with four. The
