and the authorities have the deposition
of Mr.. Sweet
Mr.. Sweet was notable character

HORSES DOWN BANK.
Pulled Over by Load but Were Extri-
Gated Without Serious Injury.

nair of horses. attached to a dump
cart loaded with stone chips, backed
over the bank into the old river channel
opposite the Wells River freight depot
at l0:30 o'clock this forenoon, and
though the horses were piled on top OF
each other ON the stone chips, which are
being used to fill the channel, they very
fortunately escaped with hardly
scratch. The team is owned by Alder
man w. H. Ward.
The accident was caused by there not
being a dump stick on the edge OF the
channel for the wagon wheels TO strike
against when the cart was backed up
to be dumped. The driver backed the
load up to the edge all right and got
off the seat to tip the body up when
the end of the cart caught on two cleo
tric wires which extend from a pole to
the basement of f. A browns store.
This caused the cart to lurch backward
and. as there was nothing to prevent
It. the wheels went over the bank, pull
inc the horses down. The load went
down a distance of about IL feet, The
horses were thrown from their feet and
one horse rolled over on top OF the
other.
Several men rushed to the bottom OF
the channel and started to release the
animals, when both beasts began wild.
ly plunging about One of the men had
narrow escape from serious injury
as he was unable to get out of the way
of one horse and was thrown down OF
the rocks, with the horse landing on hi;
leg. Street Superintendent DeBrune
who was helping, forced the horse away
so that the PROSTATE man was able
to rise. and the horse kept ON plung
ing tin It released itself. The Other
animal was wedged down by the tongue
of the wagon. and could do little to helT
itself; but the men, after loosening ths
straps and laying a bed of blankets OF
the rocks. rolled the beast over and i
landed on its feet with a chatter. Boil
horses were then led out Of the channel
apparently no worse for the experience

No Agreement In Granite Industry at
Concord, N. H.

Concord. n. H., April 24.--The labor
agreement in the granite industry here
expires next Saturday night, and thus
far the efforts to frame new agree
ment have not been successful. Com
mittees representing the various unions
and the granite contractors have been
busy for the last several weeks since
the new bills were presented. and sew
eral propositions have been presented for
consideration; but none of them has met
with favor, and things stand to-day MS
they did on the day when the men pre-
sented their requests for revision OF
the existing bills with substantial in
creases in pay all round.
II is believed by parties eonversant
with the situation that an agreement
which viii prevent strike viii be
reached before the expiration OF the
three months notice with the cutters
and blacksmith. hut il is feared that
settlements with the other branches viii
be reached with some difficulty.
A prominent contractor said Saturday
that efforts had been made to get to-
gether with the unions on a new bill
10 90 in effect May !, but that so far
no progress had been made. Whether
nm agreement would be reached or not
he was unable to say, and was rather
pessimistic over the outlook due TO wage
questions and to business conditions
generally.
He said. "There is at present but
very little business offering in our line,
and can see no prospects OF revival
for this year or even next.
Everybody is curtailiug on expenses
Railroads have stopped new work and
are discharging men. The big industrial
enterprises are working on hand-to'
mouth policy and are holding back un.
til they see how things are going tc
work out
"There is no doubt that the agitation
! for revision of the tariff downward
| is hurting business, and another factor
which is holding up trade, is the m
certainty OF the action OF the supreme
court in the trust cases, and the fail
ure OF the court to announce the find
inps. Again trade interests are begin
ming to look forward to the next presi
dental election, and taken all together
there is not much chance for business
"a settle down In its usual channels
until the questions that are now prov
ing bothersome are finally solved.
Gas | said. | cannot see much pros
pect for business for the next year o.
two. but am satisfied that things vii
finally right themselves and we shal
enjoy another period of prosperity lik'
that which followed the Spanish war
but there has got to be lot of set
Ting before that happy condition in tht
industrial world is brought about"

MR.. BOUTWELL, DISAdhLs.
MR.. BOUTWELL, DISAdhLsy-
Says He VIII Not Vote to Grant Ii
censes to Either E. S. Meigs or
Mclean & Rizzi-Attorney
General Replies To-Day.

Although Attorney General John G.
Sargent telegraphed TO Chairman J. NJ.
Boutwell, of the Montpelier license COM
missioners to-day, in reply to a query,
that he knew of no legal reason why a
person should not hold both whole
saler's and a retailers license to sell liq-
uor, Mr.. Boutwell, stated to-day that he
should vote against the granting of a
second class license in Montpelier to i.
is. Meigs, whose application is favored
by the other two commissioners, j. Eli
Goodenough and Andrew Staples. Chair
man Boutwell, also says he viii vote
against granting license to Mclean g.
Rizzi on the ground, as alleged. that
Rizzi was once raided under the regime
OF Grand Juror B. z. Bailey and arrest
ed, although later freed when no indict-
ment was found.
The disagreement among the commits
sioners has caused great amount OF
excitement in Montpelier, and the mat
ter is the talk of the town to-day. The
announcement of the successful appli-
cants was promised at meeting OF the
board Saturday night, but when it came
time for the meeting, Chairman Bout
we'll clicked over the traces" so to
speak. and opposed the granting of the
Meigs and Mclean & Rizzi applications.
When 1t was seen that there was no
chance for getting together that night,
an adjournment was made till this even
ing when the applicants will be again
summoned.
Previously Mr. Boutwell, had agreed to
the "slate," which included Meigs and
Mclean & Rizzi. giving as his reason
for agreeing that the, other two com
missioners held the balance of power,
and so he could do nothing. Saturday
might, however. he concluded to enter
protest against the two applications
mentioned Commissioners Goodenough
and Staples were surprised saying they
thought everything had been settled.
Chairman Boutwell, states that Meigs
has had the business long enough and
that someone else ought to be given q
chance. Latterly. Meigs has been oper-
ating his wholesale license in Burlington.
He saws that when appointed he real
ized that he would have little power on
the board. He also stated he didn't like
the way things have been running just
what the outcome will be tonight is in
doubt
To cap all, there is now talk in Mont
lpelier that as soon as licenses are grant
| ed in that city, legal proceedings will
be brought to question the right OF the
licensees to operate under their licenses,
the local option vote being questioned.

said that she was in the kitchen when
she heard the shots fired.
She said that she tried to telephone
for help. but being unsuccessful, she had
rushed to the door to call on her neigh
bors for assistance.
An autopsy established the fact that
Heath did not commit suicide. The re-
volver discovered in the bedroom was
found to belong to Mrs. Dodge, having
been the property of her husband, who
was high sheriff of Essex county pre-
vious to his death.
Mrs. Dodge was arrested on charge
Of murder. She was soon allowed her
liberty IN $4,000 bail, however, because
OF the inability Of the state to make
public at the time any motive for the
crime, the statutes of Vermont proyid-
ing that a person accused OF 9 capital
crime may be admitted to bail II the
prosecution fails to establish a motive.
