TWO HOUSES ENTERED.
Daylight Burglaries in Mortified
During the Progress 0f Fair.

Northfield, Sept. 1.-Two cases of
burglary were reported at the police
department about O'CLOCK this even
ling. While the members OF the fam
lily were attending the Dog River
Valley fair in the afternoon, the
houses of E. B. Ellis ON Central street
and F. w. Dutton on Prospect street
were entered. The former is a well
known granite manufacturer, the pro-
prietor of the E. B. Ellis Granite
Company, and the latter is a dry
goods merchant.
At the Dutton home the thieves got
away with two gold watches, cone
gentleman's and the other a lady's.
The police were very reticent on the
matter and would not state what
was taken from the Ellis house. 1t is
understood that local parties are
suspected and arrests are likely to
follow.
The big crowd at the Fair was an
orderly one and the absence of in
toxication was conspicuous. This is
largely due to the fact that the state
law required the saloons to be closed
on fair days.

Big Bellows Falls Reservoir.

Contractor p. Baldassaro has fin
ished his work of erecting the addi-
tional five feet in height upon the
dam at the Minard pond water sup
ply for Bellows Falls. He began work
upon it July 27 and has employed
from 25 to 80 Italian workmen and
five teams all the time since. The
structure is between 675 and 700 feet
long and the rubble cement core is
about Is inches in thickness at the
top and "a at the bottom of the five
foot addition. On top of this, and
above the level of the spillway is
placed dirt to a thickness of three
feet and a width of IL feet at the top
making fine driveway, while at the
bottom of the dam it is spread out to
width of 25 feet. The water in the
pond is now about two feet lower
than the level of the Z old dam, or
about six feet above the pipe In
1904 this old dam was raised five feet
above the level, and the present addi-
ton makes the total height of the
pond about IL feet necessary to fill
with water before it overflows again
Computations indicate that with the
average amount of rain and snow fall
of other years it will take at least
three years to fill the present reser-
voir, but when once filled the supply
will be ample for all purposes in any
possible time of drought The storage
capacity of the pond previous to 1904
was figured at S0.000,000 gallons. The
five feet of that year added 54,OO0,OOO
gallons and the present increase is
approximately 59000,000 gallons,
making total of 193,0O0,OOO gallons,
a supply equalled by only a few
New England villages of similar size.

AWAY WITH THE CIGARETTE.
Uniyersalists of Vermont and Quebec
Promise to Work for Enactment of
Law Against Sale of Coffin Nails.

Among the closing acts of the 10Th
annual convention of the Universalist
Church of Vermont and Quebec at
Bellows Falls, resolution was pass
ed pledging the society to work for a
law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes
in Vermont. The resolution reads:
Whereas, the use of cigarettes by
boys and young men is great evil
never falling to injure their mental
powers, to dull their sense of honor
and of right and wrong, to make them
easy victims of other excesses and
evils;
Resolved, That we, the Universal
lists of Vermont and Quebec, in an
nual convention assembled, believe
that a law prohibiting the sale of
the cigarette would be wise, and we
pledge ourselves to work to make it
a reality" o. X. Hollister, of Bar
re. was elected president of the So
ciety.

NORTHFIELD FAIR.
One Dead Heat i'm 2.29 Pace Race
Won by WinOna c.

Northfield. Sept. 15.-Ideal weather
prevailed today for the second
day of the Dog River Valley Fair,
and the crowd was variously estimat-
ed at from 5000 to 5000 people.
There were three races, the most in
teresting of which was the 2.29 pace
and 2.26 trot in which there was one
dead heat, Mona Maid and Winona C.
coming under the wire neck and neck
The latter horse finally took the race
after five heats by spurts of speed on
the last quarter which brought the
grand stand to it's feet. The winning
horse came in fifth in the second heat,
owing to broken sulky tire.
Ed. Sunderlin, the well known driv-
er of national reputation, who has
figured in two rather bad accidents
in the last few years, had another
narrow escape this afternoon.
In the second heat of the 2.1S class
race the horse he was driving, The
Outlaw, owned by Page Brothers, of
Barre, stumbled on the three-uuar-
ters and turned a complete somer-
sault. Sunderlin was thrown in
heap on the track and barely had
time to crawl to the fence to avoid
being run down by couple of horses
following. The horse landed in the
grass by the track tangled in the har-
ness and 1t was thought by many wit
nesses of the accident that he was
dead, but when he got out of the
snarl it was found that he had escap-
ed unhurt. He finished the race and
gained one place in the following
heat.
The balloon ascension and para
chute drop about 4.30 was one of the
finest seen in this vicinity. The drop
was made within the circle of the
fair ground fence and was a specta-
cular affair as the parachute did not
open for some time after the aero
naut had cut off and the release of a
bogus parachute made it appear for
minute as though an accident had oc-
Cured. The Norwich cadets led by
he band which that organization
now supports gave an exhibition of
Bucks drill and another feature was
the appearance of the cavalry in a
few manoeuvres on the track.
The results of the races were as fol-
lows:

A Strike at st. Adams.

st. Adams, Sept. 15.--1wenty-five
laborers employed by E. T. Moore, the
Burlington contractor, who is putting
in the trunk line and cutoff sewer sys
tenn and the curbing for the city,
went on strike yesterday when their
request for weekly payment was re-
fused. When the men went to work
it was with the agreement that they
should receive their pay every two
weeks but many workinen who live in
the city have been desiring a weekly
payment, and, when this was refused,
they threw down their tools and quit.

THE CHAMpLAIN MONUMENT SITE.

A Plattsburgh special to the Burlington
Free Press says the New York Lake Cham
plainTercentenary Commission votedFriday
to erect the permanent memorial to Cham
plain at Bluff Point, the exact location
being left to subcommittee. 1t is prob
able that the site will be on the Bluff on the
lake shore near the junction of the grounds
of Hotel Champlain with those of the Cath
Ole Summer School.
The decision came after a visit of the
commission to Ticonderoga where hear
ing was given to the citizens of that vii
lage who urged the claims of Mount De
fance. Returning to Port Henry meet
ing was held in the offices of Wither-
bee, Sherman and Co.
After four informal ballots in which
most of the suggested sites on the Lake
received votes, the choice narrowed
down to Bluff Point and Isle La Motto.
A formal ballot was taken, Bluff Point
being selected by vote of six forthat
site to five for Isle La Motto. AS the busi
ness of the Commission is not closed, it is
impossible to say exactly what amount
will be available for the construction of the
Memorial, but it will probably exceed
$50, 600. The Memorial will probablp
take the form of statue of Samuel de
Champlain of heroic size, at least 25 feet
in height on so foot pedestal.

APPARENT DISCREPANCY
General Mixup in the Finances of the
Rutland County Fair Association

Rutland, Sept. 9-There is tangle in
the financial affairs of the Rutland County
Fair which closed few days ago, the
mixup originating over an apparent
discrepancy between the estimated num-
Der of persons in attendance at the ex-
hibition and the number of tickets re-
ported sold by the treasurer, Edwin
Horton, of Chittenden.
The latter claims that l2,423 tickets
were sold, but reliable sources of in
formation place the number at the fair
during the days, at about 2l,000
Even allowing for the number of passes
known to have been issued and the
soldiers who were allowed on the grounds
free of charge this seems somewhat small
and an investigation is being made by the
officials of the association. 1t is claimed
that the difference between the number
estimated and the number of tickets sold,
was caused by the entering of many
persons through the gaps in the fence, and
other ways unknown to the authorities.
w. X. Farnsworth is looking into the
matter and will make report on his
findings shortly. 1t is thought that the
association will be ableto pay all its bills
this year without raising levy on the
