Barre Granite Manufacturers
Took Vote Last Night
PROPOSE TO DEAL OBJECT
Decided That After March 10 They Will
Quote No More Prices to Profess
siOnal Buyers of Granite-0th-
er Matters Transacted.

At largely attended special meeting
Of the Barre Granite Manufacturers
association last evening it was voted
that after March 10 the manufacturers
would quote no more prices to the pro-
fessional buyers and that they will dea
direct with the home office. This step
was taken by the association after be-
ing under discussion for some time pre-
vious to this meeting and it was decid-
ed that it would be for the best inter
ests Of the granite industry and for the
protection OF the manufacturers.
This action is designed to effect many
Offices in this city established by the
retail dealers in distant cities. The
association desires to stop the repre-.
sentatives OF these dealers selling con-
tracts to the manufacturers.
The adoption Of a cost system was also
under discussion last night and efforts
are being made to perfect some kind
OF a system to be used especially lv
those manufacturers who have none at
the present time. In addition to this
business committee was appointed to
revise the price list which was used in
the old granite exchange, and after il
has been revised it will probably be
adopted by the association.

EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
Lever Wouldn't Work and r. H. Bapp
Had Narrow Escape from Death.

The memory of a short. wild ride on
runaway crane with the horrible
probability of being suddenly plunged
from the moving structure to the ground
below still lives with Rutherford II.
Bapp. an employe OF the Robins Broth
ers' granite company located on Batch
elders meadow. The accident occurred
late yesterday afternoon just as a gang
OF men had completed Grating a large
finished stone weighing between six and
seven tons ready for shipment The
piece had been securely fastened TO the
travelling crane preparatory to moving
il to the car on the tracks at the en-
trance to the building
Bapp was occupying his usual place
on the crane and had proceeded down
the shed for a short distance when the
lever gauging the speed Of the strue-
ture refused to work. Developments
then followed all too swiftly for the
helpless men seated on the crane. As
the moving stone was sixteen feet in
length it penetrated the end of the shed
before the crane had reached the end of
the track. Perhaps il is to this for
tunate occurrence alone that Bapp owes
his life. Had the stone been shorter,
the crane must inevitably have been
precipitated from the track to the pile
of stones and debris below.
When the stone stfuck the end OF the
shed, the impact was great enough to
unhook the supporting chain, dropping
its burden to the car below. No damage
resulted from the fall, although the
Grating was ripped from the stone as
IL struck the car. Altogether il was a
fortunate outcome Of an accident that
otherwise might easily have resulted in
loss Of life aud considerable damage to

NEW DEPARTMENT
REGULATIONS READ
Aldermen Deferred Action Until Monday
Evening, When Rules Will Come
Up for Ratification.

A special meeting of the board Of
aldermen was held last evening for the
purpose of considering the amendments
to the city ordinances relative to plac-
ing the police and fire departments mn
der civil service rules and regulations.
The police and fire committees present.
ed copy OF the proposed amendments,
which were read over by the clerk.
Several changes were proposed by mem.
beTs OF the board which will be insert
ed and the amendments read again and
ratified at the meeting of the city coun-
ell next Monday evening.
The principal changes, that will take
place in the two departments under the
new ordinances, will be that the regular
policemen and tiremen will remain in the
departments permanently Just as loug
as they remain competent and efficient,
but may be removed at any time or
for any Just cause by the police com
mittee. The department is under prac-
tically full control of the police COM
mittee which makes it similar to the
commission basis. which is in vogue in
many large cities.
The only difference from the regular
commission basis is that the depart
ment is not to be controlled by COM
mission elected by the citizens outside
Of the city council. 1t was the plrr-
pose of some of the aldermen to in
augurate the full commission basis for
the control of the fire and police de-
partments, but others OF the board were
not in favor of it, and the present sys-
tenn is practically a compromise.
Applicants for policemen's and fire.
mems positions are required to pass ex-
aminations under the supervision of the
police and fire committees, and the COM
mittees choose two or three names from
the results Of the examinations and
present them to the mayor for appoint
ment, and the mayor must appoint from
these names. The names are not pre-
sented to the board OF aldermen for
as was the case under the
old ordinance

LONG STRIKE SIEGE
IS ANTICIPATED
Both Sides at Milford, N. H., Are Set
Ting Down to a Test of En-
durance.

Milford. ~ H., March 4--The strike
situation here between the stone cutters
union aud the Granite Manufacturers
association remains practically I'M
changed.
The stone cutters union met yester-
day afternoon and went carefully over
the three points at issue, namely, the
Bumper suTfacing machine, the pres
ence of two apprentices with each gang
of men and the liability of the cutter
for work damaged in finishing
At the close OF the meeting, the stone
cutters representative stated the men
were still firm for their demands as
submitted to the manufacturers The
manufacturers association, on the other
hand, stated that they would not con.
slider the proposition from the cutters
union, as il no wstands, and il must
be modified to a marked degree before
negotiations will be resumed.
The stone cutters union then arranged
for a long drawn-ou siege. They viii
now begin to draw sl.25 per day from
the strike fund and are ordered to as
semble each morning at granite cutters
hall. There the roll-eall win be held and
each man responding to his name viii
receive his allotment.
The paving cutters union has had
it's demands acceded to by one manu-
facturer. be having contracts that must
be filled The per cent, however, that
this will draw from the idle ranks Of
the paving cutters is small, the other
manufacturers Of paving blocks refusing
any change in their former agreement
Gloucester. Mass, March 4.-There is
no change in the strike situation among
the quarrymen on the north side of the
cape. The quarrymen are admittedly
the keystone OF the situation.
Their national secretary was present
yesterday, and by his advice they will
adhere to their original demand for 25
cents per hour fat for all the men.

HOTEL FIRE
THREATENING
---
But Central House in St. AL
bans Was Saved
GUESTS GOT OUT SAFELY
After Putting Out This Blaze, the Fire.
men Were Shortly Afterwards
Called Out to Extinguish An
other Serious Fire.

/ st. Adams, March 4.--The fire depart.
ment was called out twice this morn
ing to fight the two most serious fires
of the year thus far, one being in the
Central house on Lake street, with w.
H. Larry as proprietor and the other
| i'll the Lake street interlocking station
Of the Central Vermont railroad. By
splendid work under difficulties the FIRE
men succeeded in checking the flames
in both instances before much damage
was done Several exciting features ac-
companied the Ares.
In the hotel fire there were several
persons occupying rooms near the room
where the fire broke out. but they were
awakened in time to get out safely
The person who was occupying the
room whore the FIRE started at 2:a0
o'clock, got out, but he has not shown
up to explain the cause, having disap-
peared shortly afterwards. 1t is hint
ed that he may have been intoxicated
at the time. 4 woman employe dis
covered the fire, and she notified the
night clerk. who pulled in an alarm.
The fremen found a big blaze in the
room, which was on the second floor
of the building. and before the flames
could be eXtingnished the room was
completely gutted, there being nothing
left but the bedsprings The fire also
crept into the low roof and spread down
through the hall tea skylight. from
where it again worked into the ceiling.
The smoke was very dense, and the iire-
men had 10 work in relays OF minute
each lest they be sufocated. The dam
age viii be some hundreds of dollars.
One OF the guests occupying a nearby
room delayed his departure from has
room and his exit was attended with
some danger. The cause Of the fire Is
not known.
The 4all out" signal was sounded at
3;45, the fremen returning to the fire
station after nearly two hours work.
Their rest was not for long. however.
as another alarm was rung Ia at 5i30
o'clock for a threatening blaze in the
interlocking station, whore the FIRE was
started by crossed wires, IL is thought.
c. Il. Curtis discovered the fire, and
after ringing in the alarm he returned
TO the interlocking station to set the
signal After doing this he tried to
get out OF the building and found him
self unable 10 open the door. With the
flames creeping up aud the dense smoke
rapidly filling the station he gas
confronted with the alternative
al jumping from high win
dow 10 the track or OF remain
ing to smother or be badly burned He
chose the jump. and although it was a
high leap he landed without injury
The building was considerably burned
before the fire was placed under control,
but the machinery in the station was
not damaged, so that it was in work
ing order this forenoon. Insurance men
who inspected the scene Of both fires
say that the hremen did excellent work
and that the loss is so small is re-
markable.

and holds the furniture, which, ii Is
said. the company bought solely for
Mr.. Curtis. The company also paid Mr..
Curtis Office rent. The typewriter in

Mr.. Curtis secured a 500-mile mileage
book, but few months ago this same
agency had refused to let him have
mileage on crcdt. Mr.. Curtis has been
in the habit of travelling over the state
for week or two at a time. visiting
other insurance agents. but has always
kept the Burlington Office notified of his
whereabouts before.

that the next House will observe fair
play under the constitution.
Two Unexpected Features Last Evening.
Two unexpected features marked last
evenings sessions. Both houses passed
the bill to give the rank and retired
pay of rear admiral aud the thanks
OF Congress to Robert H. Peary.
The other unexpected episode was
Senator Lorimer's motion TO strike from
the general deficiency bill an appropria-
tion of $4,000 TO reimburse him Tor
his expenses in defending his title to
a seat in the Senate. This gave rise
to an acrimonious debate, some SEN
ators who are members of the appropria-
ton committee more than intimating
that the item had been put in the bill
without the knowledge of the members
of the committee. The Senate agreed
to Senator Lorimers motion.
During the day the Senate passed and
sent to the House four appropriation
bills carrying more than S5O0,000,0o0.
They were the post Office, naval, sundry
civil and general deficiency appropria-
tion bills. The passage OF the post
Office bill was marked by the abandon
ment of the proposed increase OF maya
zine postage, the substitution of a pro
vision for commission to be appointed
by the president to investigate the
whole subject, and the defeat Of Post
master General Hitcheock's plan for a
test Of the parcels post.
