woman and her child from being
ground to death under the wheels of
the train which left here at 9:14

stantly killed.
for Jersey City. stopped at Eliza
many passengers to alight. The
woman started down the steps and
had just reached the bottom when
the train started. She had hold OF
the railing, but the sudden Jolt
caused her body to swing outward
and then toward the other steps.
The train was gradually gaining
speed and Mr.. Peterson was the first
one of the Mortified spectators to
realize that, unless something was
done Immediately, she would fall
beneath the wheels. The lawyer
ran along the platform, while the
others shouted for the train to stop
and, grabbing the woman. who was
hanging on to the railing with one
hand and her child with the other,
he swung them to safety on the plat
form.
August Faber, Anton Massopust
and several other local people wit
messed Mr.. Peterson's heroic deed
and he was congratulated by the
many who had held their breaths
during the incident. The woman,
whose name could not be learned,
was very profuse in her thanks.

County Board Of Taxation
Has Ordered the Five AS
sessments Cancelled.
is UP TO THE STATE
BOARD OF
Other Tax Decisions Are
Announced ConcerningAp-
peaIs Made in This City.

The County Board Of Equalization
of Taxes has decided the FIVE appeals
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, which were made against the
city on the ground that the property
assessed was second class, and
should have been assessed by the
state board instead of the local as
SCISSORS.
On these grounds the county tax
board ordered each of the five as
sessments cancelled. City Collector
Richard F. White has Just received
copies of the judgm ents.
Last year the district assessors
were only allowed to assess railroad
property not used for railroad pur-
poses Second class and main stem
railroad property was to be assessed
by the state board.
Decisions in the five appeals were
rendered by the county board on
January IL as foiiows: 4
Lot 10, block 81, assessment of
I$1,335 cancelled.
Block 324. property consisting of
1T acres, assessment Of $340 can
celled.
Lot 13. block Ss, assessment of
$135 cancelled.
Block 336, property consisting of
two acres, assessed at $500 cancel
led.
Lot 8, block SO, assessment of
$4,000 cancelled.
These appeals reduce the valua-
tion of the city for 1908 $6.210,
making a reduction OF $93.15 from
the tax value of the city. The other
list of appeals on city property
makes a tax value reduction of
$625.02, plus the $93.15 railroad
reduction, gives a total of $71S.17,
which must be subtracted from the
tax income of the city.
The reduction Of the total assess
ment of the city on account of the
tax appeals decision is 347.87S.
The actual tax income of the city
minus the deduction Is approximate
ly $123,010.43. About $4,000
more is expected from the state. One
hundred thousand dollars was paid
by the city to the county. which
makes the total tar list of the city
about 1924, ,000. including 1.474 poll
taxes.
In 1907 the reduction in the tax
income on account Of appeals decid-
ed by the county board was 1,198.-
20 and by the state board $2,458.18,
making a total Of $2.46s.1S, in COM
parison with the 371s.17, the reduc-
tion for 1908.
Nearly all the appeals are now
settled, with the exception OF that of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and a few others which are
very small,

Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1909-12-01

The Monitor is issued under
great difficulties this week, owing to
the absence of electric power. We
have been unable to use power but a
few hours each day and but for auxil-
iary water power today could have
issued no paper as the current has
been off entirely. Faithful help,
willing to work all hours of the day
and night have made it possible to
come out on time but the slow pace of
water power necessitates going to
press three hours earlier than usual.
The combination of circumstances
has made it necessary to leave out six
or eight town local letters altogether
and slight other towns but we trust
all will have patience until electric
power is again in use, when the type
setting machine can be put into full
use again.

This being the Worlds Temperance
Sunday, Rev. Mr.. Dukeshire preached
a stirring sermon on the subject of
temperance. and while exhorting his
hearers to earnest effort in this work
he, at the same time gave review
of the wonderful progress which has
been made, especially in the South, ex-

Among the musical numbers rem
dered by the Congregational choir
was a clarinet solo "Traumerei" by
Slayton Lang, accompanied by the Or
ganist, Amory Seaver. The choir
gave two new anthems with an alto
solo by Mrs. Batchelder and a soprano
solo by Mrs. Stannard. Rev. War

TONICHT'S CONCERT
Appeared at Orleans Last Evening and
Endorsed as One of the Most
Satisfactory Concerts.

The Eastern Concert Company ap-
pears at Seaver's hall tonight, as the
first number in the Barton entertain
ment course. The company is made
up of five persons, happy combina-
tion of artists, leach one. Miss Bass,
the reader. never fails to please and
is general favorite wherever she
goe Her Mark Twain reading at
Orleans last evening took the house
by storm. Miss Goodell, the lyric So
prano. has charming voice of great
range and never fails to please. The
instrumental members of the company
are Barthold Silberman, violinist of
note, Carl Webster, a cello player
considered equal to any in the east,
and Ernest ". Harrison, pianist.
Every member of this company is the
very best in their class and the man
agement of the Orleans course said
this morning that they could recon-
mend them in every particular as a
concert company of exceptional merit
and an entertainment equal to any like
ly to appear in this vicinity this win

The sale of seats last evening at the

to be satisfactory to all, although
some were heard to express an
opinion that another year they would
pay little more premium.

PROGRESS AT PLUNKETT
Hope to Have Work Completed before
Christmas. Current from
Island Pond Plant.

Work is progressing nicely on the
installation of the new steel penstock
and other repairs at the Barton elec-
trio plant at Charleston and it is tx-
pected to have everything going
again before Christmas. Doring the
period of this work the Island Pond
electric plant is furnishing the Barton
system what current can be spared,
but this is sufficient only to light the
inside lights in Barton; and Orleans,
Glover and others supplied by the
Barton plant go in darkness. Even
Barton does not have street lights,
and day power is accessible only be-
tween 7:30 O'Clock in the morning to
$3.50 O'Clock in the afternoon, and to-
day "wednesday, there has been no
power whatever as the Islacd Pond
people were obliged to make minor
repairs on their plant.
1t is a great inconvenience to be
out of lights at this time of the year
and the work cannot be carried on to
the best of advantage in cold weather,
andthese IT ings have caused some
quite severe criticism of those ii
charge Of the work, but the circum-
stances have made it impossible to
do the work until this time. The pen
stock was ordered and promised to
be shipped several months ago but
delay after delay has put it's arrival
off until this late day. Had it been
thought safe the work would have
been left until spring but the old
wooden penstock was in bad shape
and it was feared the ice strains of
winter might break it up and this
would mean a much worse predica-
ment than we are in now, so work
was begun Immediately. With the
finishing of these repairs the Barton
plant will be in the best shape ever,
having more and better power, no
cause for stops on account of ice, and
thing of permanency. Let us bear
our present Inconvenience with pa
tience, looking to the better things to
come,
