LOCAL OVERFLOW.

The teachers training class Of the Con-
grega tional church resumed meetings
Monday evening. The work this winter
will be a study in the life Of Christ and
in addition the reading of Miss Slattery's
Talks with the training class and Of
the united mission study text book west
ern women in Eastern lands. The meet
ing next Monday evening at 745 will be
with Miss Florence Hemenway, 81 High
street, when the first chapter OF the mis-
sion study book will be considered. All
teachers in town or other persons inter
ested are invited to join the class.
At the meeting OF the Congregational
Brotherhood Sunday c. c. Fits talked
upon the proposed child labor law winch
il is hoped to have enacted by the pre-
ent legislature. Although not an ideal
law ii embodies many excellent points,
and efforts will be made to improve il in
the future. The strongest provisions Of
the proposed law are that no child under
16 years of age shall be employed about
dangerous machinery, that no girl under
is years of age shall be employed at
work that makes it necessary for her to
remain upon her feet and that no child
under IA shall be employed in a manu-
featuring establishment employing more
than 10 persons. 1t was voted to continue
the subject of child labor" one more
Sunday, and at the next meeting a gen.
eral discussion of the subject will take
place.
A Montpelier despatch to the Burling-
ton Free Press Monday intimated that
the Central Vermont Railway company
had found a joker in the Boston & Maine
companys proposed charter for an indie
pendent line between Brattleboro and
South Vernon, parallel to the Central
Vermont line. It said: "Now while the
proposed line will undoubtedly be a great
benefit to Brattleboro far more important
reasons are back of the desire of the New
Haven road to construct this little strip
of road. One OF them, as has been said,
is that the New York business which the
Central Vermont now handles by way Of
Springfield will, when the existing trace
ing rights between the roads expire, have
to be turned over the Boston & Maine at
White River Junction" If the Central
Vermont company has such a fear 1t is
rather singular that it was not made
known at the hearing in Montpelier last
week when the proposed charter was
considered. The facts are that shippers
can route their freight to suit themselves
and II the Central Vermont company does
not wish to build a parallel line between
here and Windsor IT can depend upon the
interstate commerce commission to see
that 1t does not have to pay exhorbltant
rates to the Boston & Maine company.

FIRE ON BRANNAN STREET.
Reorganized Department Called Out Last
Evening for First Tme-Mrs. Frank
Adams's House Damaged.

An alarm from box 46 at Gi5 o'clock
last evening summoned the fire depart
ment for the first time since it was re
organized. The fire was in a house and
shed on Brannan street owned by Mrs.
Frank Adams and occupied by Mrs.
George Harrington and five children. II
was discovered by a member of the Clune
family, who live next door, and James
Cune ran to the corner of Williams and
Elliot streets and pulled in the alarm.
Engine No. 3, the chemical wagon the
hook ana ladder company and the PhR-
nix hose company responded, but when
the department arrived a two-stOry shed
in the rear of the house was a mass Of
flames \ stream of water was played
upon the shed, but it was seen soon that
every effort would be needed to save the
house so the firemen directed their efforts
to the two and a half story cottage. a
small ell caught fire inside and the flames
spread rapidly to the main part of the
building. In a short time two lines of
hose were playing upon the flames, one
from the hydrant in front of the church
on West street and the other from Will
liams street. The shed practically was
destroyed and the Interior of the house
was damaged badly by fire and water.
Immediately after the fire was discov-
cred neighbOTs went to the assistance
of Mrs. Harrington and her children. She
had been confined to her home all day
by illness and Frank Adams carried her
in his arms to the home of Mrs. James
Clune, where she was cared for with her
family. The fremen saved the greater
part of the furniture in the house. That
part of the furniture that was destroyed
was not insured. grand piano left in
the house by Mrs. Adams when she re-
moved to a house on West street two
months ago was in the parlor and was
ruined by water. 1t was insured. A
MEMBER of Mrs. Adams's family said
the house was insured for two-thirds of
its value, which would amount to about
1920
When seen by reporter of The Phe-
nix during the fire, at the home of Mrs.
Clune, Mrs. Harrington was unable to
give any cause for the fire. She said
she had no idea as to how 1t started, but
thought il must have caught in an old
mattress which had been stored in the
shed since she moved into the house two
months ago She said that no hot ashes
had been carried to the shed, or any
thing that could have started the blaze.
