Little Rock, Ark, July 23.--E. L.. Parker, of Murfreesboro, a former government engineer, who is ill Lit tie Rock today, is reading with great storm and it's ravages at Galveston, and especially is he interested in the manner in which the big sea wall withstood the force of the storm and saved the city from great damage.

The big wall is about four and one-half miles long, 19 1-2 feet in width at the base and IS feet high.
 The new wall saved the city, said MT. Parker. and l understand that the wall staunchly withstood the storm at it's heaviest stages. Since much depends upon the foundation of a sea wall, l am particularly Sratl- fled to note that the wall stood the test.
 Mr. Parker resigned from the gov ernment service some time ago and entered the real estate business al MurfreesborO, the county seat o1 Pike county. and the center Of the Arkansas diamond fields. MT. Park CT believes Murfree sboro has great future and has decided to remain there. declining to accept offers when have been made him to re-enter the l government service.

FIRST MOVE FOR POST OFFICE.
Government Advertises for Bids for Con-
struction of Building in Barre.

The first apparent step for year
toward the erection Of government post
office building on the site at the corner
of South Main and Prospect streets is
to be noted in an advertisement in an
other column of to-day's paper, calling
for construction bids. The government
supervising architect, James Knox Tay-
lor, asks for sealed bids up to three
p. m. on April 20, 1909, the construction
to include plumbing, gas-piping, heating
apparatus, electric conduits and wiring
of the building
AT the same time, the government has
applied to the city of Barre for a renewal
of its lease in the city hall building,
asking for five years term with its
usual privilege of terminating it at any
time. The government is now paying
81 $50 year rental, and the present
lease expires in May. 1t is probable
that the city and the government wils
get together on the proposition, and that
the city hall location will be available
for the post Office until such time as the
government can get into its own build
ing. When the post Office is removed, it
is probable that the rooms vacated will
be utilized for some of the city offices.
The city of Barre owns the fixtures in
the present post Office, and the fixtures
are considered to be in good condition
at the present time.

HANOVER INN DAMAGED.
Loss Yesterday Afternoon Was About
S2,5oO--Cause, Cigarette.

Hanover, N. H., March 24.-The Han
over Inn, the only hotel in the town,
owned and operated by Dartmouth col
lege, suffered a FIRE loss of about 50, 500
as the result of a destructive blaze
which broke out shortly after 3 yester-
day afternoon
The cause has not yet been determined,
though report was circulated and later
denied that lighted cigarette was
thrown down the hole through which run
the steampipes in the drummers display
room on the first floor.
When discovered, however, there was
brisk blaze in progress In the partitions
dividing the room and the hotel lobby.
Forced by a heavy draft, the flames shot
upward as far as the third story. There
are. sleeping rooms on the second and
third floors.
In order to locate the seat Of the blaze,
which was not done for almost an hour,
it was necessary to tear away much of
the woodwork which forms the parti-
tions on the street and second floors
Great quantities of water were poured
in, which fact explains why the loss
mounted so high.
The students LENT their assistance to
the fremen and furniture and articles
of all kinds were removed from the
building.
All telegraph communication with the
town has been cut Off, as the telegraph
Office is in the hotel building. This viii
be repaired promptly and work Of recon.
structing the interior of the inn will
start as soon o. possible.

ployment-It Is Thought That the

ing Was Saved.

Chester, March 24-one Of this towns
leading industries was wiped out this
morning, when the plant Of the Pollard
Manufacturing company was burned to
the ground, causing loss which is esti.
mated to be $4,000 The loss is well
covered by insurance, and the prospects
are said TO be good that Messrs. James
Z. and w. S. Pollard, the owners, viii
rebuild the plant.
The cause of the fire is not known.
The flames were discovered at three
o'clock by a man who resides just across
the street, and the FIRE company was
soon notified. BY the time of the arrival
OF the apparatus, however, the fire had
made great headway and it was not
possible to save the building or remove
any OF the contents. The building was
two stories in height, 100 feet long, and
was of wooden material. Included in
the contents of the plants was a large
quantity Of print cloth; also 100 sewing
machines, and other valuable machinery
and articles Of equipment
The company manufactures wrappers
and underwear and there were employed
at this time fifty girls and ten men,
who are thus thrown out Of work.

GIVES CASE
TO THE PLAINTIFF
David Spieer, Montpelier Man. Had Sued
Tax Collector Rand Of Hard
wick for False Impns-
onment.

An unusual turn came in the Spicer-
Rand suit In Washington county court
for false imprisonment to-day, when
Judge Stanton decided to order yer-
dict for the plaintiff, David spicer, on
the ground that the defense Of Tax Col.
lector V. A. Rand OF Hardwick had not
shown that the 1907 tax list in Hardwick
had been legally made out and that, on
the contrary, the manner OF making out
the poll tax list in the case Of Spicer
was illegal. Following his decision for
the plaintiff TO recover, Judge stanton
said that all that was left for the jury
was to dcide the amount OF the damages
which would be awarded Spicer, he hav-
ing sued for $500.
Spieer, who had gone from Hardwick
to Montpelier, refused TO make out a
1907 inventory for the Hardwick listers,
and the latter then put him dowa for
one poll tax and doubled IL without Civ.
ing him a hearing on the matter The
defense was unable TO close up this hole
in its case, and the plaintiff simply re-
vealed It after proving that Spicer had
been placed in jail by Tax Collector
Rand
1t is probable that there are a great
many other towns in Vermont which
have followed the same course Of pro-
cedure in assessing taxes as was done
in the case of Spicer at Hardwick In
1907.
On the opening Of court this afternoon
the jury brought in verdict for Spicer
TO recover $40 and costs. The jury had
been out since half past eleven.

Barre School Commissioners
Fix Sliding Scale
ALL PRESENT FORCES GAIN
Maximum Salary Of s47s in the Grades
Is Reached in Five Years-Twenty-
two Of Present Corps VIII Be
Entitled to That.

A standard Of salaries for the teachers
in the public schools of the city up to
the ninth grade, was fixed by the board
Of school commissioners at its meeting
for Reorganization last night. This
standard will make an increase for all,
or practically all, the teachers; and
twenty-five Of the teachers who remain
for next year win be getting the maxi
mum salary Of S475 per year. Hereto
fore, the maximum salary in the grades
has been $432, or $l2 per week. This
action by the school commissioners is
done with a purpose to retain the SER
vices of the teachers, as well as to recog-
nize the value of their work. It is the
second increase which has been given
them in three years, a fat raise of one
dollar per week having been made three
years ago.
Under the new plan, there will be a
sliding scale, dependent on the length
Of service. For the first year teachers
will receive 1915, for the second $400, for
the third s425, for the fourth $3.50, and
for the fifth and subsequent years s475.
The commissioners intend as soon as
possible to give as good salaries in the
grades as are paid in other cities of the
same class; but up to the present time
Barre is below many others in this re-
spect.
A new system OF payment viii be
instituted next year to conform with
the city's methods. The teachers viii
be paid in ten equal installments, start
ing with the first day of October. just
how many of the teachers viii return
next year will not be known until after
the re-opening OF next term, the matter
resting partly with the inclinations of
the teachers and partly with the de-
sire Of the school board. The teachers
in the high school are not placed on a
fixed salary basis, so that ii is not de-
cided what salaries win be paid them.
A number OF other matters were con-
sidered by the commissioners last night,
but no definite action was taken. The
board reorganized be re-electing II. G.
Woodruff as president and L. R. Hutch
nson as secretary.
The only new member Of the board
Tor the year, John stephen, representing
The fourth ward in place of William
Scott, was present, at the meeting which
was held in the banking rooms of the
Granite Savings Bank. The commission.
srs expect to have satisfactory year
IN the administration of the public
schools, as all things point fayorably.

Mrs. Ames Miller Drowned
Herself Last Night
ALSO HER TWO CHILDREN
When Her Husband Got Home Last
Night He. Found a Note in His
wife's Hand, Telling Of Her
Suicidal Intention.

weatogue, Conn, March 24.-Follow.
ing clue which was contained in a
note left by the woman, the searchers
to-day found the bodies of Mrs. Ames
Miller and her two young children in
the Pennington river, in the waters Of
which they had been drowned. When
Mr.. Miller, who is wealthy contractor,
returned home late last night, he~found
note which had been written by his
wife, announcing her intention TO com.
init suicide. A search was then insti-
tuted, and it was kept up all night
long without success. The coming Of the
light this morning, however, enabled the
searchers to discern footprints, and they
followed these tracks to the banks Of
tho Pennington river, where the bodies
were at once discovered. It is probable
that Mrs. Miller had killed her two little
children and then deliberately drowned
herself.
