WOULDN'T HELP AUTHORITIES
BY Trying to Identify Negroes Who
Held Up Winoosh Store.

Burlington, Oct. l6.-No clew has been
found to the whereabouts, or to the iden-
tity, of the two negroes supposed to be
soldiers Of the 10th cavalry, who held
up the store Of Henry Desautel and 10.
seph Gingras last Friday night. The
refusal of Desautel and Gingras to visit
the various Winooski resorts with the
armed guard from the post it is said,
greatly handicapped the guards and VII
lage officials in finding elew. 1t left
the guard without anything to work on,
and it returned to the post shortly before
midnight. Both Desautel and Gingras
said that they could identify the men,
but they refused to make any effort to
do so. The post guard that night visited
few of the WinooslSi resorts but found
everything being conducted in the usual
way.
Opinion in Winooski differs as to
whether the robbers were soldiers or fol-
lowers of the cavalry The fact that the
negroes wore borth army overcoats and
caps leads the police to believe they were
soldiers. The affair has made other local
dealers more careful in keeping large
amounts Of currency in their stores.

Close Call For EmeIio Gomez on
North Main Street /.
NO ONE KNOWS THE CAUSE
His Groans Were Heard Last Night py
Passersby and He Was Carried
Home, Where a Physician
Dressed His Wounds.

Emelio Gomez, stonecutter employed
in Montpelier, narrowly escaped death
while alighting from south bound
street car near North Seminary street
in this city last night shortly after
is o'clock. The accident happened with
in few feet Of the watering foun-
tain at the corner OF North Seminary
and North Main streets. Gomez was
returning from Montpelier, where he
tad passed the day with friends No
one can be found who witnessed the ac-
cident, and as the mans condition viii
not allow him to give lucid explana
tion Of his experience, it is not def
nitely known IN what manner he sus-
tanned serious bruise over the right
temple and deep cash just above the
right eye.
1t is believed that Gomez lost his
balance in stepping from the car and
was thrown TO the ground dangerous
ly near the track. From the nature OF
the wounds, it Is likely that he was
struck by tho base OF the ear. Passers-
by later, heard the man groaning and
FASTENED to his assistance. Inquiry re-
vesled the fact that he lived on North
Seminary street not far away. AT the
home of L. Bena, 1873 North Seminary,
where Gomez had boarded for some time,
a physician dressed the wounded mans
head and face The man complains Of
pains in the lower limbs and II Is not
unlikely that further injuries may be
revealed The physician in attendance
says that Gomez win recover He is
twenty-six years old and unmarried. .

WOMAN KILLED
AS AUTO WENT
DOWN A R.->.1ilK F.
GRANITE FROM ORANGE.
Enterprisng Quarter Brings in Several
Samples to Exhibit.

Phllibert Fournier drove into the city
to-day with four sizeable blocks of gran
ite which he recently channeled from
a quarry newly opened on his farm at
Cutler corners. The stone was taken
from the surface of q deposit which Mr..
Fournier has known TO exist ON his farm
for some time. Ten years ago consider
able interest was created over the story
that granite of superior quality had been
discovered at Cutler corners. 1t seems
that report met with little credence and
was soon forgotten.
Soon after Mr.. Fourner acquired the
property he became interested in the
prospective development Of quarry.
Last August part of the quarry tract
was uncovered and some excellent stock
was found in the first layer of stone.
The result Of the find moved Mr.. Furnier
to procure q 30-foot derrick, which is
now in working operation. The owner
Of the land is a stone cutter by trade and
the knowledge gained in the shed has
been Of much value in making plans 10
realize from the deposit. At the present
time he has three men quarrying stone
and expects to increase this number in
n short time.
In appearance the newly found stone
compares favorably with the best medi-
um stock found in the Graniteville sec
tinn. Mr. Fournier has put il to several
tests and finds that IL takes an excellent
polish He believes that inexhaustible
deposits await development in the yicin-
ity of where his operations are under
MaY.

The insurgents, the dispatch says are

their forces thoroughly in hand All
looting and lawlessness are mercilessly
repressed,
The dearth of coin reported from Han

Members of Chinese National
Assembly Frame Them
NO NEWS FROM REVOLT ZONE
Because Chinese Government Has Cut
Off the Telegraph Wire Service to
Hanchow, Preventing Rebels
From Sending Word.

PeSing. Oct. l6.-The members OF the
national assembly drew up series OF
resolutions on the revolutionary situa-
tion, addressed to the throne, to-day.
The resolutions demand in the interest
of peace that the provincial assembly OF
Sze-Chuen be permitted to assemble i'm
mediatelyj that the president and vice
president of that body be released from
prison to participate in the sessions.
The resolutions also call for the dismiss
sal Of Sheng asuan- Huai, the imperial
minister of the post and communica-
tions. Sheng is the leading advocate
Of the anti-provincial policy, and is re-
garded as largely responsible for the
present uprising.
Heavy runs on the banks here We're
continued to-day and there were riotous
scenes in front of several institutions.
There was no news received from the
rebel zone.
Wire Communication Not Easy.
Peking, Oct l6.-The Chinese govern
ment has placed severe restrictions on
the telegraph lines, evidently for the
purpose Of preventing communication
between the rebels On this account
Hankow, where the revolution is at its
height, is cut off. II is not considered
possible that the wires have been cut
throughout the six provinces. Until
lately the revolutionaries, having free
use of the wires, received and dissent
mated information concerning the prog
ress of their plans in all provinces.
The government refuses to reveal the
number or the destination of the troops
which are being sent southwark. Be
ginning to-day, only single first class
train will he run daily between Peking
and Tien Tsing Flu. about seventy miles
to the southeast of the capital This
is due to the heavy troop traffic and for
the purpose Of preventing any great
number of rebels from coming into Pc
king Passengers and freight traffic has
been entirely suspended between Peking
and Hankow.
So far the government has refused
to permit correspondents to accompany
the army, Both sides are anxious to
favor foreigners and it is believed that
the government will reconsider this re-
fusal should the imperalists meet with
initial success.
