erable damage was done by water "a

paint shop were owned by Mr.. Whit

an extinguisher and tried to smother the
fire, but the inHammable material in
the paint shop furnished excellent food
for the flames and Gibbs was able TO
remain on the second floor only few
seconds before he was forced to run TO
the exit.

$4,000 WAS LOST.
Mail Pouch Was Stolen From Railroad
Train.

Greensboro, N. G., Nov. THAT a
United States mail pouch routed from
Raleigh TO New York and containing
$4,000 disappeared two weeks ago in
manner similar to the recently report
ed theft of pouch containing $4,000
at Lynchburg, Va, became known here
yesterday.
It is declared unoficially that the
Raleigh pouch disappeared after being
receipted for by mail clerk on north.
bound train passing here, and that the
clerk in whose custody it was last placed
has been suspended from the service
pending an investigation,
The pouch was handled by the local
postoffice and later transferred to the
mail clerk now under suspension. II
is said he remembers seeing and check
ing it here, but that be did not detect
its loss until he reached the end OF
his run The name Of the clerk is with
held. II is said his suspension is on
the grounds Of carelessness.
Postoffice inspectors are working on
the case, though they are yet without
a tangible clew, The impression pre-
walls that the disappearance OF this
pouch and the pouch reported lost from
Lynchburg can be accounted for by the
same person or parties.

Final Decision by Vermont Supreme

Verdict in Alleged Malprac-
tice Case.

preme court opened at Montpelier this
forenoon, when several opinions were
rendered. The most important was that
Essex county case of Hattie
Willard VS.. f. F. Norcross, malpractice,
which has been tried three times in
county court and has come three times
to supreme court. The court this time
reversed the judgment and ordered that
the defendant recover his costs. In re-
viewing the case, the opinion stated
that there was no evidence of malprac-
tice and the motion in the lower court
for the defendant to recover ought TO
have been granted.
In the first trial the plaintiff got $500,
which verdict was reversed and the cause
remanded. The second was for 81 200,
but new trial was allowed ON the
ground of irregularity in the jury. The
third time the case was tried a verdict
for $4,000 was given the plaintiff, which
was wiped out by the decision to-day.
In two deer cases of George Carruth
and II. L. Streeter from Wfndham coun-
ty, the decision was affirmed and the
cause was remanded. In the case of City
Of Montpelier vs.. John McMahon, ques-
tion of street line on Mortified street,
the former won. Announcement was
made of a settlement of the suit of Ter

Favorable.

Boston, Nov. with the weather
conditions favorable, a heavy vote was
cast during the morning hours to-day in

state officers and members of the leg
islatue. Rain during the night cleared
when the early voters started for the
polls.
Boston, Nov. TT shall win by

cratic and Republican candidates closed
their respective campaigns for governor
last night
In addition, the voters will choose
other state officers and new legislature,
while all--af the 1854 cities and towns
will express their opinion on various
referendum acts submitted by the last
Legislature.
The final day was one of hard work
for all candidates, az well as for the
state committees. Governor Foss start
ed il by speaking in nearly every town
on Cape Cod during the day and closed
il by a whirlwind tour through the Bos-
ton wards last night
Lieutenant.G Governor Frothingham's

dressed four meetings, including noon
rally in Faneuil hall.

ed danger in the storm prediction for

town committees, urging that precau-
tions be taken against apathy on ac-
count of weather.
There are more dry weather Repub-
leans than there are Democrats" re-
marked one of the leaders.

year has been unusually short, especially
on the part of the Democrats Lieu.
tenant Governor rockingham began his
appeal to the voters within a day or two
after the caucuses had named him rs the
party leader. Governor Foss delayed his
stumping tour until a week before elee-
tion. In his appeal yesterday to his old
constituents on Cape Cod, Governor Foss
said that the people imposed upon him
last year the duty Of formulating pro-
gressive legislation, and the issue this
year was whether he had performed that
duty, while it was absolutely necessary
for him to be reelected in order to Sc
cure the passage of further progressive
legislation.
