Mans Body on the Track.
When train was being backed in
the St. Johnsbury yard Wednesday
night of last week a trainman, who
was standing on the front car plat
form, saw the form of a man lying
across the rail. He notified others,
and the body was picked up and later
carried to Stanley's undertaking
rooms where it was identified as that
of Thomas Ahearn of st. Johnsbury
Center. who had been visiting rela-
tives in Barre, and who left that city
yesterday afternoon for this place.
The circumstances concerning his
death are not known. It was evident
that two trains had passed over the
body, the wheels having cut the body
in two.
Big Power Project.
Additional details of the project for
the much discussed hydro electric
development of the Deerield river,
| promoted by interests connected with
the Connecticut River Power company
were given out in Boston, Aug. FL,
when the completion of an underwrit-
ing agreement for the issuance of So.
900, 900 per cent 40 years gold bonds
and $4,000 6 per cent cumulative
preferred stock became known. The
| New England water power company
has made an underwriting agreement
with banking syndicate headed by
Baker, Aylin & Co., of Boston. in
pursuance of which the bonds and
stock will be issued. The work has
been planned by Arnold B. Chace, Jr,
of Providence and Henry I. Hartman
of Boston. While engineering estimates
show that this financing should provide
generating plant and transmission
lines for some $4,000 horse power, it
is likely to be only a step in the
eventual development of Deerfield
J river water power, rights now con.
troled by the same interests. Such
development, however, doubtless will
be spread over future years. and it is
figured that it will entail expendi
lures Of between $l2,000,00 and $14..

other points. and eventually connec
