Two Attempts to Wreck M.
& W. R. Trains
CRAZY MAN CAPTURED
Charles CetcheIl Who Recently Escaped
From Waterbury Asylum Was To-
day Caught on Track Near
Marshfeld.

An attempt At train wrecking on the
main line Of the Montpelier & Wells
River railroad near Plainfeld yesterday
afternoon and another attempt was
made previously in the afternoon be-
tween PlainAeld and East Montpelier.
This morning Sheriff Tracy and Deputy
Sheriff Lawson Of Montpelier apprehend-
ed an escaped lunatic from the Water
bury asylum, Charles Getchen BY name,
and II Is supposed that he is responsible
for placing wire across the track and
later a log.
No damage was done in either case,
the White Mountain train striking the
wire obstruction and being brought to
halt without damage. The train crew
removed the obstruction Later in the
afternoon while Supt Stanyan was re
turning to Montpelier on his track
cycle after a tour Of inspection Of the
line be discovered log lying across the
track about a mile east Of Plainield
village. He removed the log and set the
officers at work on clues, Sheriff Tracy
and Deputy Lawson going out last
night
The officers were not successful in
finding anybody, but this morning they
learned that Getchell, the escaped luna
tic, had been seen along the line Of the
railroad. They followed the trail which
he had taken, being guided BY informa-
tion secured at a house where Getchell
had stopped to inquire the way. Their
search was successful today as they ran
across Getchell on the track above the
village Of Marshfield and took him into
custody, bringing him back to Montpel
Ter and placing him in the county jail
to await the coming Of keepers from the
Waterbury asylum.
Getehell's home is in Calais and he
escaped from the asylum a few days
ago. He was considered to be harmless
fellow until these evidences Of a derang-
ed mind developed. Had a train struck
the log which supt Stanyan found
serious wreck would have resulted.

BRAND CALLED.
Scholar, Orator and Avowed Socialist
For Premier.

Paris, July 23.--Aristide BRAND. bril-.
liant scholar, orator and avowed social
ist, and architect of the final chapters
of the separation law, was summoned to
the Elysee palace last night and asked
to reconstruct the Clemenceau cabinet.
Considerable opposition to M. BRAND
has developed, and especially among
the conservative senators and radicals
who dominate the party of the Repuhli-
can majority on the ground that the se-
lection Of a socialist at the head of the
government would be equivalent to pro-
claiming The bankruptcy Of the radicals.
Predictions we're freely made in some
quarters last night that Ne BRAND would
fail in his efforts to form ministry
which can command majority
Should NJ. BRAND succeed in forming
cabinet, as his friends believe he will,
the tendencies Of the new ministry will
be distinctly more socialistic than those
of the outgoing cabinet M BRAND Is
opposed to the dissolution Of the revo-
lutionary general federation Of labor
which M Clemenceau favored, and AZ
Barthou, minister Of labor, have cham
pioned socialistie doctrines.
A. BRAND cabinet would be exceeding
ly distasteful to the monied classes.
The conservatives, however, believe that
the BRAND cabinet would be short lived.

II is probable that the house was en-
tered between Monday night and last
night and that the burglar got in By
means Of skeleton key. On Monday
last the floors were vanished and it
Is thought that the break was not made
before the following day as there were
no marks whatever on the newly varnish-
cd surface Of the floors in the rooms
where the burglar had rumaged about.
When Mr. Summers, the neighbor in
charge, went into the house last night
he was surprised 70 see the rooms lit

contents scattered over the floor and

that the burglar had free rein to take

The police have no clues to work on,
and the loss to the Pecks win not be
known until their return.
