DENNIS RADY HAD
A NARROW ESCAPE

Dennis Rady, an employe at the
Pennsylvania railroad shops, received
slight injuries while at work yester-
day. 1t is said that he was beneath
an engine making some repairs when
another empIoye not aware of mis- pre-
sence there, started tinkering with
the levers He was stopped by a cry
from Rady. A movement of one OF
the levers, it is reported, had thrust a
rod down upon Rady's neck, infIicting
long cash and minor bruises. Rady
was removed 10 his home, II2e North
ID street. His escape from more Sc
vere injury is considered remarkable.

IMPROVING THE FIRE DEPART.
MENT.

IMPROVING THE FIRE DEPART
MENT.
The work of the Barre fire department
during the last calendar year, as shown
in the report OF Chief Gladding, deserves
commentator from the people of the
city. That the entire fire loss during
the twelve months should have been
kept down to less than two thousand
dollars, when there were SO many calls
for the departments services and the
property endangered was so relatively
large, is matter for great satisfaction.
The work of the department has been
so promptly done that not single build
ing has been burned down during all
that time, and the maximum single loss
can be counted in the hundreds. Few OF
the fifty and more calls to the depart
ment have been from the business dis
triet Of the city, and, therefore, the work
has not been so difficult as it would be
in case of fire in some of the larger
structures This comparative freedom
from fire in the business district was
doubtless in large part due to the closer
inspection OF premises; and such work
should be encouraged and welcomed by
property owners as move to aid them
in preservation Of their property.
In the matter of equipment for the
department, the central station on South
Main street is wen supplied; but the
north end of the city is not supplied
with equipment such as viii afford the
most prompt service, inasmuch as the
only chemical engine is housed at the
central station, which is some distance
away. It seems to The Times that If
any further expenditure is to be made
at the present time that it would best
be made in small chemical engine, to
be placed at the north end of the city,
thus atfording the section as prompt
service as that in the south end.

THE CENTRAL's PLANS AT MONT.
PELIER.

The plans OF the Central Vermont
railroad, according to the announcement
through the press, are to build hand
some passenger station and freight depot
at joint lying between the present
station and Montielier Junction, in order
to get Montpelier onto the main line of
the railroad and eliminating some of the
bother OF the branch line service Per.
haps Montpelier win be willing to move
over to the northwestward to the extent
that it might get on the main line of
the railroad, as that has been desired by
Montpelier citizens for long time. In
order to do that, however, it win be
necessary to sacrifice accessibility of rail-
road station, which is considerable
factor, inasmuch as the new place for
boarding and leaving trains would be far
removed from the present center of the
city. But if Montpelier is to grow to
any appreciable extent during the next
twenty years, one OF the avenues for the
growth must be in the direction of
Montpelier Junction, and thus in time
the city might grow to the new site
of the railroads station. The placing of
the station on the Langdon meadow
would certainly accelerate the movement
in that direction, and thus gradually
Montpelier would fit its new suit Of
clothes.
Meanwhile, the Central Vermont rail.
road win not have eliminated its problem
of branch line service, which is becoming
more important every year. Barre's con.
tribution to the business OF the system
is constantly growing and is bound TO
demand more attention than it has been
given That being the case, the proposed
building of a new passenger station mid.
