Arden, N. Y. Sept. 10.-Edward Fl.
Hartman, the greatest organizer of
railroads the world has ever known,
met the only lasting defeat of his
life at the hands of death. Secluded
in his magnificent home on Tower
Hill, surrounded by members of his
family, physicians and nurses, he sue.

The exact time of his death is
known only in that limited circle of
relatives and associates who had SO
effectively shielded Mr.. Hartman
from all outside annoyances during his
last illness. The time was given to
the world as 1885 p. m, but Mrs. Mary
Simons. sister of the dead man, said
that the end had come at 1880, more
than two hours previous. Whether
this apparent discrepancy has any

influence of the financier's death on
the New York stock market is profile.

Mr.. Hartman died peacefully and
to the end his brilliant mind retained
its integrity. After relapts on Sun.
day he sank slowly and soon after
noon Thursday there came a relapse
which marked the approach of the
end.
The great achievement of Mr.. Harri-
mans career as a financier and rail
road manager was the rehabilitation
of the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
eific railway systems. Mr. Hartman
undertook this herculean task when
he was nearly fifty years old and after
he had once practically retired from
business. Other financiers had failed
signally to put these properties on a
paying basis, but Mr.. Hartman, fol-
lowing the reorganization of the I'm
ion Pacific in 1897, began systematic
plan to place the properties in the
best possible condition for their main

railroads in the best workable condi-
ton, confident that sooner or later the
question of dividends would take care
OF itself. To the task he had under
taken Mr.. Hartman gave unfiagging
industry and IL was his constant work
that brought on the final breakdown
in his health. Stomach trouble devel-
oped more than year ago and med
ical treatment gave no relief. This
summer he went to Europe to consult
the greatest specialists there, but he
was not benefited. On his return to
this country he went at once to his
magnificent country home at Arden,
where death occurred.
Mr.. Hartman was sixty-one years
of age.

Prominent New York FInancier Ends
His Life.

New York, Sept 14.-Intimate
friends of John w. Castles. president
of the $70.000,000 Union Trust COM
pany. declared his suicide in the
Grand Union hotel was due to nerv-
cus breakdown caused by overwork.
John w. Castles was one OF the best
known financiers in the East. In 1908
at the close of the panic he became
president of the Union Trust company
and the great amount of work that
fell upon him in clearing up condi-
tions broke his health. For six months
he has been under the caro- 81 ply
sicians and has done TO active work.

1000 weavers employed at the Fall
River cotton mills controlled by NJ
c. d. Borden of New York did not
report for work In accordance with
their announced intention of striking
for an increase in wages.
The absence of the weavers so ham

be settled and 5000 operatives are
thus temporarily thrown out OF work

Burning of Mountain Mills.

For the second time within ten
months the extensive mills of the Deer
field Lumber company have been de-
stroyed by fire. On Saturday night at
about / o clock fire was discovered
and in very short time the plant was
in ruins. The first fire occurred August
%, 1908. and it is supposed that it
started from a hot box As to the cause
of the last fire it seems to be unknown
but the most reasonable theory is that
it caught from the sawdust and shaw
ings in the boiler room. The means
for stopping the spread of the flames
were very meager and nothing what
ever was saved from the mill The eve
ming was very calm, thus preventing
the spread of flames to houses or lumber
in the near vicinity. The mill was only
started up about six weeks ago. 1t is a
very serious blow to the Deerfeld Lum
Der company as they have fully 10000
600 feet of logs in the pond at the mill
with nearly 100000 feet cut in the
woods at Somerset. The sale of lumber
is active and several months must
necessarily elapse before the mill can be
rebuilt and put in condition for run
ming.
The insurance on the plant was
placed by Stevens & Sons Company of
Lancaster, n. H., and is about $4,000
in 81 companies. None of the insur-
ance men have as yet arrived on the
ground but are expected soon. Presi-
dent Blandin' was in town on Tuesday
but only remained a short time. A
number of the workmen have secured
employment elsewhere and have left
town.

His Honor Entertains.

Tuesday three unfortunates climbed the
stairway of signs and were ushered into
the presence of His Honor, Judge e. w.
Gibson of the municipal court. James
Ryan, not a stranger to the court, was
charged with being intoxicated and offered
costs, making the price of his entertain
ment Sl0.74. He was given into the GUS
tody of Officer Harris that he might con.
meet with the funds rather than avail of
the alternative sentence of Is days in
picturesque Newfane Martin Dunn, Jr
who, like his co-la,borer in the task of at
tempting to create a booze drought, had
before gazed at the paper Uttered desk
symbolical of the majesty of the law,
claimed that he was neither guilty of
ovel-indulgence in intoxicants or that his
actions on Monday evening could be con-
strued as a breach of the peace. He re-
tanned Judge A. f. Schwenk, and the
court set his case ahead until o'clock to-
morrow morning. Mickey" Mitchell, a
frail, disease-racked unfortunate, crouched
in his chair before His Honor and pleaded
not guilty. to participating in the affair
with Ryan and Dunn, and his case went
over until tomorrow morning. His Honor
cleared his brow of the judicial wrinkles
and listening to the old interrogation "am
| my brothers keeper" recognized as Sc
curity for Mitchell. The trio INDUCED in
a fistic encounter so it is alleged near the
railroad station Monday evening. Chief
of Police Wilson assisted by Officer Har-
ris gathered in the bunch and placed
them in safe keeping until Tuesday morn
ing Ryan will appear tomorrow with his
associates to explain his connection with
the affair.
Monday, John Cotton of Hinsdale ac-
knowledged before Judge Gibson that he
was intoxicated Sunday and contributed
SlO24 to the municipal court. Mr.. Cotton
attempted to do bit of fancy driving in
this village Sunday, but failed to do much
else than draw crowd on Main street.

Bailif's Meeting.

At a regular meeting of the bailiffs,
Friday evening quite an amount of bust
ness was transacted. The board voted to
commission John c. Frederickson and Her
bert +. Harris as patrolmen.
In the matter of Sunday band concerts
after discussing the question of how many
Sunday concerts should be given it was
voted that four concerts should be held
on consecutive Sunday mornings before
regular church services on the common,
the first to be given on July Is. In case
the weather shall prevent the holding of
a Sunday concert it shall be held upon the
next fair Sunday morning. The bailiffs
voted that it must be distinctly under
stood by the band that a complete con-
cert program must be played at each Sun
day concert given.
The hose question was solved by voting
to purchase 800 feet of waxed and gummed
hose for which the village will pay 95
cents per foot. 1t was also voted to pur-
chase 80 rubber coats for the use of the
two fire companies, Is for EACH The
price to be paid per coat is 1925.
The police department will observe the
old system of a patrolman responding at
all bell alarms at the box rung. As yet
the bailiffs are undecided whether they
will build a sewer north from the Com
mon to the river and running by the
Emerson property.

Pomona Grange Meeting.

Windham County Pomona grange No. 5
held an interesting meeting with Vermont
grange at East Dummerston, June 10.
The forenoon session was devoted to gen.
eral business interspersed with music.
Mrs. o. V. Hefflon read an excellent paper
on The Advantages of Reporting Our
Grange Meetings to the Local Papers.
It was strongly urged that this should al
WAYS be done. as many advantages accrue
therefrom The question, What Do You
Consider the Strongest Features of he
Grange? was considered, and the educa-
tional, literary and social features had
strong supporters Although present, the
lecturer was too i'll to perform the duties
of her office and Mrs. W. F. Walker had
charge of the excellent literary program.
The question, Should Vermont Reclaim Its
Abandoned Farms by Introducing a for
eign element? was discussed. Opinions DIFF
fered as some thought the foreign element
would be more of detriment than help.
There was excellent attendance, Protec-
tive. Evening Star, West River, Newfane,
West Townshend, Williamsville, Vermont,
Green Mountains and Cheshire grange Of
Keene, n. H., being represented. The
next meeting is with Deerfeld River,

Cures that last are cures that tell. To

exists right here in Brattleboro. People
who testified years ago to relief from
backache, kidney and urinary disorders,
now declare that relief was permanent
and the cure perfect. How can any Brat

Want to be strong?

Eat more Quaker Oats. Eat il for
breakfast every day. This advice Is
coming from all sides as result of re-
cent experiments on foods to determine
which are the best for strength and en-
durance. 1t has been proved that eaters
of Quaker Oats and such cereals are far
superior in strength and endurance to
those who rely upon the usual diet of
heavy, greasy foods.
When all is said and done on the
cereal food question, the fact remains
that for economy and for results m
health and strength, Quaker Oats stands
first of all. 1t is the most popular food
in the world among the foods sold in

and an interview with the officials at the
railroad station fails to show that either oil
! the parties mentioned in the dispatches
have "passed through" Brattleboro. "A
telegram to the Worcester Telegram under
date of June IL, from Athol,, Mass, says:
Skidding on the wet roadbed, large
touring ear, owned by George l.. Moore,
Brattleboro, VT, and driven by James Nc
Catferty, crashed into telegraph pole at
South Main street corner at l.3O o'clock,
this afternoon, ripping OIL the rear wheel,
mud guards and brakes, damaging the car
about $500.
McCafferty, with Mr.. Moore, was driv-
ing the ear from Worcester to Brattleboro,
stopping at Athol for dinner. In heavy
shower the men set out for Brattleboro,
and hitting up a fast clip, sped over the
rounding a sharp curve the wheels skidded,
throwing the rear end of the auto against
the pole. The wheel with mud guard and
the brake were torn off, and the steering
wheel and rod were damaged.
The wrecked car was taken to the Grout
Brothers factory at Orange. and Mr..
Moore went to his home in Brattleboro,
leaving his Chauffeur with the car. Mr..
Mccartney said: 1--WE were going at lively
clip, and did not have any chains on the
wheels. ! was not accustomed to the road,
and as we took the curve the rear of the
auto skidded on the wet, slippery road, and
threw us directly into the pole at the side
of the road.
Il was not at fault, as Mr.. Moore was
in a hurry to make Brattleboro as soon as
possible, and l was running under his or
ders."
A large number of people visited the
scene of the wreck until the wrecked auto
was removed by the repair gang from the
Grout factory.
