Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1910-07-14

A party consisting OF 2. L. Sault and
son, Raymond, OF West somerville,
+ Mass, and Mr.. Sault's three brothers,
/ William, Harry and Ernest, OF Lynn,
Mass, came up Saturday in z. LIS 1910
Model Mitchell touring car, making the
1 1877 miles between a. m. and p. M, in
/ Guiding stops. Raymond drove all the
4 way and proposed to take the party back
4 Monday when they returned, after visit
\ ing Mrs. E. T. saut, the mother, over
/ Sunday.
f E. W. Lynch, accompanied by his wife,
i two daughters and a chauffeur. arrived
Monday in their Oldsmoble car from
Worcester. Mass, and returned Wednes-
+ day, accompanied By Mr.. Lynch's
mother, Mrs. L. T.. Lynch. Mr.. Lynch
embarked in the theatrical enterprise
three years ago " ieh proved so successful
T that year ago he retired from the furni'
I ture business that be had been cunndet-
I ing in Worcester. He has controlled
4 the Pleasant theatre of Worcester and
/ Lynch's theatre OF Pa~tucket, K. l. Mr..
Lynch has lust secured possession OF
valuable piece Of real estate in Worcester,
4 for 70 years The site of the Lincoln hotel,
and has let the contract for the construe-
I tion OF new theatre, to be known as
/ The Lincoln, " hich will have seating
capacity OF $500, or the largest in New
/ England. Its cost will be from 1928, 600
/ 10 $3.50. 900. It will be devoted to the
production of high-class vaudeville.
A new passenger tariff went into effect
on the Central Vermont railroad July !.
4 Like all changes of the present, the trend
i is upward, making the cost OF travel
greater. The round-trip rate, under
I which there was reduction from sep
araIe fares, is cut out, aud regular trips
only are sold by ticket. There are some
increases here, even. The fare from Ran
dolph to Bethel used to be zoe, it is now
Csc. to Montpelier or White River juno
4 ton 1t is an even dollar instead OF 95c. to
South Royalton il has been raised from
I 40 10 a5c. Single trip fare to Burlington
aud st. Adams is unchanged. Another
change that is likely to provoke more
comment is in mileage distances. In sew
eral cases, one or two miles more than for
merly.are now lifted by conductors nom
ebalantly between stations. For instance,
II used to be 32 miles between Randolph
and White River Junction; now II is 80.
The actual measured distance is said 70 pc
ga miles. Il is one mile further to Wa
terbury, Essex Junction and 81. Adams
than il was a few days ago. Caustie tray
oilers say that the hot weather has e2-
panded the rails. Some travellers say
I other things not so pleasant. The changes
are in compliance With rates tled with the
/ Interstate Commerce commission and
presumably approved By that tribunal,
( 80 the public will either have to put up
with them or go afoot.
Sunday evening there came to the home
of Charles Belknap on Forest street Roy
Camp, the son Of his housekeeper, Mrs
Camp. " no acted so irrational and de-
ranged that it was soon decided that heip
must be called to deal With him. DR..
Scott was summoned, and later w. Z.
Flint went to look out for him, Tor the
young man was at times violent ana
threatening. II seems that be had come
that day from the home OF bis orofher-
in-law, Henry Alexander, in Tunbridge,
where he had been stopping for two
months since finishing work at Concord,
H. Mr.. Alexander brought him to
| South Royalton and he had a ticket to
I Randolph. but in his state OF mind was
unable 10 produce IL and the conductor put
him of the afternoon express at Bethel.

I by the Thunderstorm. Monday forenoon
/ he was taken to the lookup for safe Keep
I ing aud W. p. Flint guarded him until

Camp. who came from Concord, y. H.,
Monday night Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander
/ we're also here Monday. Formal commit
ment will have to be preceded by a rou-
tine recurring several days, but Water

\ meanwhile. The unfortunate young man
/ is the son OF Milo Camp, formerly OF East
4 Randolph, who himself died at the Wa
terbury asylum four years ago. He IS a
nepbew OF Dix J. Camp. Until this time
