of age, was electrocuted in Rutland
Tuesday, dying instantly when he grasped
a telephone wire which had become
crossed with a power wire of the Rutland
Railway, Light & Power Co, carrying
230O volts Sumner was investigating to
see why the telephone at the farm of
Walter s. Cramton in the town of Rut-
land, did not operate when he received
the death dealing current. General Man
ager George S. Haley of the power COM
pany said, after an investigation had
been made, that the accident was caused
by dead wire which telephone employees
had left hanging over the electric light
wire.
Miss Ellen B. Cramton received a Sc
we're shock while endeavoring to tele-
phone Her brother, Walter, and Sumner
went outside to ascertain the trouble and
thus prevented a fire as sparks were
jumping from the ground wire and grass
beside the house was smoking Sumner
was familiar with electricity but for some
reason, after endeavoring to poke the
wire away from the house with a board,
grasped it with his hands. He imme-
diately threw his arms up over his head

Grand Trunk Gets Temporary lnjunc-

The Grand Trunk railroad won Fri

New Haven and Hartford railroad, when
Judge Baker in the superior court at
Providence granted its petition for an in
Junction restraining the New Haven
road from proceeding with the construc-
ton of freight-houses in the proposed
path of the new road at Woonsocket
The Southern New England railroad, the
branch of the Grand Trunk which will
be built from Palmer to Providence,
asked that the land owned by the New
Haven on the state line at Woonsocket,
over which the new road is practically
compelled by its charter and the rail-
road commission of Massachusetts to en-
ter Rhode Island, be allowed to remain
in its present condition until September
Is, when a hearing on the condemnation
OF land will be given by the court.
Work on the construction of the new
freight-houses was stopped Friday night
and the Grand Trunk will give bonds to
the New Haven road to insure it against
loss by the delay in development should
the court in September declare the land
necessary to the New Haven, its pres
ent owners.

A Noble Man.

Born in Granville, educated in Roches-
ter and Randolph, married in Rochester,
it is natural that the career of Col. AL
bert Clarke, which closed at Highgate
Sunday, should have been watched with
sympathetic interest by the people of
this section. They found it without flaw
or blemsh. In public and private life
Colonel Clarke was "a gentleman and a
noble man. He had the elements of man
hood-honesty, sincerity and courage
that appeal to what is best in ones fell
lows. 1t was sadly appropriate that AL
bert Clarke should come to Vermont to
die, and that on a mission pertaining to
his service as a Vermont soldier Yer
mont, too, claims what is left of him in
material form. Though his duties for
over twenty years have taken him out
side the state, Col. Clarke was never less
Vermonter by that reason. He loved
and returned often to the state of his
birth. His near and dear friends were
here. Col. Clarke was to the last an UNI
swerving protectionists in politics. The
receding tide, which has left that belief
in popular disfavor for the time, did not
dismay its leading New England cham
pion. 1t was real gospel with him, anC
open to no compromise He had mas
tered the subject, in theory and bearing
and there were few who could success
fully challenge him in the realm of dis.
cussion AS a soldier, journalist ant
author he was popular and prominent

c. w. Gates on Road Progress.

In the current issue OF the American
Motorist, the official organ of the Ameri-
can Automobile association, there APP
pears an interesting article by c. w.
Gates, state road commissioner in rela-
ton to the progress Vermont is making
toward good roads.
Mr.. Gates describes in detail Vermont's
plan for highway improvement, the
drainage system and the material used
in making the $4,000 miles Of highway in
Vermont suitable thoroughfares for the
many Automobiles that are touring the
state and for the traffic of farmers
Mr. Gates says in the article: Car
red on through the state, aided by a
state appropriation of $150,000 and a
maintenance fund of $4,000 annually
from automobile registration, the plan
for highway improvement in Vermont
takes for the unit the town and the aid
is given directly to the town. Instead
of building long stretches of state high
way, the towns are asked to select their
principal highways and upon these the
state money is spent.
without trying to copy the expensive
road building of other states, Vermont
is trying to adapt herself to conditions
which exist and is looking forward to
the time when she can point to a system
of earth and gravel roads that will meet
requirements of the state"

Editor The Phoenix,


Dear Sir:-A paragraph appeared in
the last issue of the Bellows Falls Times
upon the recent death of Col Albert
Clarke. 1t is in regard to this touching
tribute to one of natures noblest gentle
men, that l make reference.
"The evil that men do lives after them
The good is oft inferred with their
bones"
Would be a fitting criticism to the para
graph so kindly allowed space in the col
umns of the Times.
The kind friend who took upon himself
| the mighty task of vieing with his
Creator to sit in judgment upon his
brother man, made the sweeping state
| ment that the late Col. Albert Clarke was
| poorly equipped to solve present day
| problems"
Friend, in spite of your noble aspira-
tons. a tincture of this earthly clay still
clings to your muddy vestments.
| The Vermont Senate made a grievous
error that will ever be "a blot upon her
| fair history when she elected a man
| poorly equipped to solve present prob
| lens" to represent her interests.
A far wiser selection would have been
our able and venerable philosopher.
| 1t would seem that when loyal and
| useful Vermonter passes to his last rest
| ing place, political grievances should be
| laid away with the closed eyelids and
| silent lips that cannot refute accuse tions,
whether just or unjust. Let the dead
past bury it's dead"
Friend Critic, are we to judge a man
by his mistakes or by the good he has
| done to mankind? Surely the God in us
| will answer in terms far different from
yours.
To you and others of the opinion
| voiced in the brief eulogy, He did the
| work of his day and genera ton splendid
ly but was poorly equipped to solve
| present day problems let me ask how a
man can do the work of his generation
and yet be unable to meet present day
| problems"
| 1t is rather poor deduction to accredit a
man who has served the public "spend-
idly all his life with being a generation
behind his times.
A man who is loyal to his conception in
! this day of change, who thinks his own
thoughts and painfully disentangles truth
| from its web of falsity, who tests his
own thoughts in the acid bath of useful
ness, who with all the powers of his
| mind, heart, strength and will, arms
himself to do battle for the thing he sees
to be done and the thing he believes tC
be right is hardly the man unfit to meet
present day problems
Let me say from one who knew Col
Clarke, who loved and respected him as
soldier. not only of warfare but of life
and as gentleman,
His life was gentle; and the elements
So mixed in him, that Nature might
stand up
And say to all the world, This was
| man."
And with you Friend Critic, do 1 echo
| Peace to his ashes'
