Lightning Hits Powder Plant.

Three of the Is buildings compris-
ing the plant of the Robin Hood Am
munition company at Swanton were
destroyed early Sunday morning.
Lightning first struck the potash
mixing house, which exploded and as
a result of the conclusion the drying
house and the laboratory also blew up.
The plant is located long distance
from the village, but the conclusion
broke a large amount of window glass
some of the buildings which suffered
being about two miles from the plant.
A large plate glass window in the
store of L. c. Fortier was smashed.
There was only one man at the plant
when the explosion occurred and he es-
capped injury. The structures which
were burned were located some dis
tance from the main plant, which
probably accounts for the compare
tlvel y small loss, the damage by the
fire being estimated at SIS, 900.

Comment on Runaway Pond.

Mr.. Editor =
: A cousin of mine, Mrs. Mary R.
Morrill,, of your town recently sent me
three copies of your paper, in which
was very much interested.
One contained the address of Hon.
Mr.. Baldwin on the Zone hundredth
anniversary of the escape of the
waters of Runaway Pond.
| possess not only general interest
in the subject, but also special inter-
est, from the fact that | am descend
ant of one of the actors in the work
done at Long Pond, one hundred years
ago. Samuel Bean of Sheffield was
my grandfather.
He was one of those who were prose-
cuted by Blodgett for the loss of the
sawmill. / don't know that | ever
heard him speak of his experiences in
the matter and what | know of them
came through my father, Hiram Bean.
l will first speak of the lawsuit.
Grandfather said they offered to pay
all they thought the lost property was
worth but they could not come to
terms and the lawsuit was on. He
said it was finally settled by the deci-
sion of the Judge; and his conclusion
was the same as that arrived at by
Mr.. Baldwin one hundred years later,
viz: that it was a good thing that the
waters were let out when they were
for if they had been allowed to remain
pent up till it's path to the lake should
be studded with farms and villages,
the waters would sometime have
broken loose and then the destruction
of life and property would have been
incalculable. Therefore he decided that
Mr.. Blodgett was entitled to no dam
ages for the loss of his property.
1t cost grandfather the price of
three sheep to pay his part of the costs,
such as lawyers fees etc.
/ had always supposed that this
decision was made in court; but from
the court records as brought out by
Mr.. Baldwin, am now of the opinion
that the decision was made by the
judge as an arbitrator by agreement
between the parties. Father thought
that the runner, mentioned by all,
was the keeper of the gristmill whose
family was imperiled, but the sugges-
tion of the speaker that Chamberlain
may have out-run him is a good one,
Among other incidents grandfather
spoke of the same phenomenon of the
moving of standing trees that was men
toned by the speaker. He said as
much as a quarter of an acre of
timber would move off with the trees
all standing; after gliding down a
short distance would commence falling
in every direction and would be quick
ly engulfed by the raging waters.
He said one man was leaning against
a tree watching the water when some
one told him that was not a, safe
place. He stepped back just in time to
be saved from being swept away. But
perhaps / have said enough so | will
close.
Yours respectfully
Levi Bean.

Parade and Ball Game.

Five thousand people participated in
the Independence day celebration in
Lyndonville Monday. A notable fea-
ture was the entire absence of explo-
sives. A big parade included floats,
decorated automobiles and horribles.
In the evening there was a display of
fire works. A base ball game be-
tween Lyndonville and Lebanon, N.
H., resulted in victory for the for
mer to l. Among those in town was

membered by members of the Ander-
son family, who gathered from far
and near for their family reunion and
to meet William Anderson of Burwell,
Neb., who has been visiting here.

one, which served to make this mem
orable occasion more pleasant. Long
tables were set under the trees in the
orchard and they were loaded with
good things too numerous to mention.
All did ample justice to the bountiful
repast. The children amused them
selves by playing games while the
older ones told stories and reminis-
cences. Rev. Mr.. MacFarlane formerly
of Philadelphia, now pastor Of the r..
P. church of East Craftsbury was
present and offered prayer. All en- :
joyed the musical part Of the program.
Mrs. Armour Anderson presided at
the organ and she was accompanied by
her son, Clyde Anderson, and her broth
er, Winnie Patterson, on their violins.
The selections on the phonograph
were also appreciated.
1t might be Of interest to note that
Mrs. Belle Rowell was the oldest and
the little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Anderson of East Craftsbury
was the youngest.
Besides those from Albany and
Glover there were Mrs. Helen Esden
and family and Miss Lois Gebbie of
Greensboro, Mrs. Thomas Orne and
son Glendon of Green's Corners, Mrs.
F. A. Buchanan and son Paul of Iras-
burg, Robert Anderson and family,
James Anderson and family of

= In general the celebration of the
Fourth in Barton was far from exc1t-
ing, many people going out OF town..
Beginning at midnight Sunday and
lasting till midnight Monday there
was scarcely minute when there was
not some kind of noise. This fact
was very noticeable when compared
with many towns where the authori-
ties gave notice that no fire crackers
would be allowed upon the streets,
etc. This was true in Glover, Lyndon
vile and many other places where a
safe and sane celebration was the or
der of the day, and some criticism was
heard here that no action whatever
was taken to check the nerve rackine
explosions in the midst of our streets

Island Pond Joyous.

Of new industry just started inssIs-
land Pond the Herald Of that place
says: -
1--WE are pleased to see the old shirt
factory running again. In talking
with the business men and citizens of
Island Pond, all seemed to be greatly
pleased to hear the hum and buzz of
the machinery in the building.
''Just few words in explanation
about this new industry. The article
made is called the "Spaulding Auto
Glide" 1t is patented article, and
is just being put on the market.
Messrs. Miller and Hager of Boston,
the owners of the patents, are honest
and honorable men who will do every
thing in their power to make the
running Of the factory a success, and
there are two good men at the wheel,
Messrs. Boyce and Blake, who will
steer. the new enterprise. into a IL
nanclal success.
eve are informed by the manage
ment that there will be over thirty
men employed at the factory when
things get to running smoothly, which
will mean good deal to our town.
Mr.. j. F. Hammond of Witham, Mass,
who is at the factory in the interests
of Messrs Miller and Hager, says that
If he could have come here and helped
install the plant last January, at the
present time the output would have
been at least one car a week. He
further says that the only drawback
to large volume of business this sea-
son is due to not getting an earlier
start. The business of building the
glides is not dependent on New Eng
land alone, for the proprietors have
orders from California and other
states, also orders from across the
water in Germany. We hope that
when they receive shipment in Ger
many they will not tag them made in
Germany"
''Mr. Hammond will probably return
to his home the latter part of this
week. He has had quite an extensive
factory experience, and Monday when
the first glide was assembled he said
that he was more than pleased with
the general appearance of the machine,
and that he does not see any reason
why they cannot make just as good
looking "glides'' in Island Pond as can
be made in any town in the country.
''We believe that this business has
come to Island Pond to remain per-
manently. Of course it will take
some little time to get everything
running smoothly, but let US have
little patience and everything will
work out all right. !"

Extensive Farming at Speedwell.

A recent issue of the Lyndonville
journal speaks of the doings at the
great Speedwell farms near Lydonville
belonging to Theodore N. Vail, as
follows:
Among the improvements under
way at Speedwell Farms this summer
is the converting of the old Sanborn
barn into horse barn. This barn is
l05x55 feet and connects with the
large dairy barn built last year. The
basement will all be concreted, will
have several box stalls, a root cellar
and room for maple sugar. A per-
feet system of drainage is installed.
On the main floor of the barn will be
stalls for about thirty head of horses
and ponies, harness room and loung-
ing room for the men. On one side
will be a row of stalls for the horses
and back of them a patent drainage
system for carrying off all water. The
stall floors are all of concrete and
about each side is steel kicking plate,
2x4 feet. Each stall is equipped with
iron feed racks and corner hangers.
On the other side are several box
stalls, the drainage in these being
from the center, the harness and
lounging rooms. There is a patent
harness hanger for each stall. Be-
tween the row of stalls are improved
iron scuttles connecting with the Lou
den system in the basement for carry
ing out the manure. The walls and
ceilings are finished in hard pine The
floor is of maple and birch laid over
asphaltum and tar paper, making it
waterproof, In the loft is a large
water tank, the water being filtered
by gravity all through the building.
A short distance from the dairy barn
