MCARREN FOR HARMONY.

10 Avoid . Possible Clash with Murphy.

~ NNVNu y VSsNstV SheSs y NeNh -
Senator P. H, McCarren. who was
recently empowered by the Democratic
executive committee in Brooklyn to
select the conference committee Of FIVE
to confer with like committees from the
other boroughs in regard to the prelim-
mary arrangements for the city oonven-
ton, yesterday announced the selection
OF former Justice Augustus Van Wyok.
Edward NJ. Shepard. r. W. cambridge.
Bernard j. York and Thomas F. Wogan.
There was some surprise over the
selection OF the committee and the
absence OF the Senator's name from
the list Of oonferees from Brooklyn
in view Of the fact that ChArles F. Murphy
OF Tammany heads the committee Of
Eve from Manhattan. All I'VE committee
men named by McCArren are members
OF the provisional committee Of twenty

to the provisional committee and the
selections made we're named by that body.
II 10 said that some OF the provisional
committeeman considered It impoltic

their strained personal relations and
that McCarren stepped aside 90 As

interest. So far there has been no

ST. J. and L. C.. Report.
The Road Earned a Net Income of $780,
O56 for the Past Year.

The annual report of the St. Johnsbury
& Lake Champlain railroad shows net
income of $2O,056.34 for the past year,
though the stockholders need not expect
any dividends for some years to come.
The gross income for the year ending
June 80, 1909, was 1888, 5So.86 as
against $349, 1898. But the operating
expenses were $264, S42.29 against
$685., 043.7 the year previous. About
$40, 900 is charged up to this road by
the Boston & Maine, which controls its
stock and furnishes its equipment, Tor
rent of rolling stock, tracks and termin-
ais. A net income of $2O,O56 81 is
wiped out by back interest on bonds and
notes amounting to $50, 86S.17, leaving
the present deficit $66, S11.S3.
The road carried 212,S71 passengers
as against 210, 1868 the year previous
and hauled 301 ,999 tons of freight as
against 31S,759 tons the year be-
fore. The gross revenue per mile was
practically the same both years, So, $50,
but the management saved on their
operating expenses which were $2,11l.-
as per mile as against 81, 1878 the
wear before. The balance sheet shows
that the road cost $4,753,S16.53 and
the capital stock is $4,000, $50 and a
bonded debt of $2,500,000. The sheet
is balanced by a charge to profit and loss
of 81 ,S39, 1890.

James Logan Shot.
First Claimed He Was Held Up BY Two
Men, But Officers Think He
Shot Himself.

The police officers thought they had a
Wild West holdup to investigate when
James Logan, an employee of the Swift
Beef Company here, walked into the Of
fee last Saturday night with bullet
wound in one leg and told his story. In
vestigation. however, inclines them to
the belief that the man shot himself, but
his object is not yet learned.
1t was about half past eleven Saturday
evening when Logan appeared and told
the police the following story. He
said he had sixteen year old sister come
here on the evening train in company
with young man whose appearance he
did not like. He Swallowed them to Pas
sumpsic and started to return late in the
evening. While he was coming by the
fair ground he was met by two men who
stopped him and placed a revolver at his
head. He struck the revolver and it was
discharged. He clinched with one of the
men when the revolver was discharged
again and the bullet entered his leg. The
men then jumped into their team and
drove away and he came on to the police
station.
After telling his story here, Officer Rolfe
accompanied him to DR.. Fitch's office and
he was taken to Brightlook hospital,
where Dr. Fitch removed the bullet which
had passed nearly through his leg. The
wound is not a serious one and Logan
was discharged from the hospital yester-
day.
Sheriff Winch and other officers began
an investigation and soon had evidence
that Logan's story was not true. AS
fast as the officers learn the truth Logan
admits it but gives no information him
self about the shooting. The officials be-
lieve now that he shot himself.
Logan is a single man and has borne a
good reputation but there is evidence
that he was under the influence of liquor
on the night of the shooting.

The Fisk Quartet.

The Fisk Jubilee Quartet have come
and gone, leaving behind them memories
of delightful entertainment Their
leader, John W. Work, is Fisk gradua. e
and holds an A. M. from Harvard. He
is now professor of history and latin at
Fisk University. The beautiful lullaby
sung during the evening was composed
by him, both words and music. The
second tenor, James A. Myers, is a
graduate of the theological department
at Fisk, and has left a church at Muir
freesboro to take up this work at the
call of his alma mater. He has SYM
pathetic voice, which appeared to excel
lent advantage in his selections from the
poet Dunbar, and his falsetto tones
possess extraordinary sweetness and
range, no tune going too high Tor him.
The first bass, Alfred G. King, is recent
graduate of the college department, and
the second bass, Noah W. Rider, is a
graduate Of the musical conservatory
and is director of their choral society
Such men, evidently capable. set-respect-
full, and serious in purpose, are hne
examples of what christian education
is doing for the negro race.
Their repertoire includes not only
negro spirituals like Steal Away" and
southern songs like the "Swanee River,
but also more classical selections, like
the 10Th chapter of Ecclesiastes which
was so finely rendered. An audience
of over 500 greeted them, despite the
rainy evening. and the constant applause
during the evening, and the collection o
$50 showed hearty appreciation. IN
closing song. given by request, came iik'
benediction: II want to be like .Jesu
in my heart"

The Knights of Pythias and the
Becky buildings in Marsh6eld were des-
troyed by fire early Saturday morning.
The Universalst church building was also
damaged. The loss is estimated at about,
$4,000, partly covered by insurance.
The occupants of the Becky building
had narrow escape and made their way
into the streets in their night clothes.
The post-office was in the Knights Of
Pythias building but the government
reports were saved. A call for help was
sent to Montpelier and the fire depart
ment of that place responded, arriving
on a special train.
