at Once by Central Vermont.

Boston, April %. Officials of the
Grand Trunk and Central Vermont
railways, who are in Boston, give con-
frmation of the report that the Cen

mence the construction Of fifty miles
of new railroad in the Connecticut
valley in Vermont to connect the gap
between Windsor and Brattleboro. This
new mileage will give the Grand Trunk
Central Vermont line through route
over its own iron from Montreal TO
New London, Conn, and will entirely
divorce the Central Vermont from the
Boston & Maine, whose Connecticut
river line it has used, under a running
rights agreement between Windsor and
Brattleboro
If the Rhode Island legislature au-
thorizes the requested changes in the
Southern New England railway charter
for proper entrance facilities to the
state docks to be built at Providence
the Grand Trunk will also construct
about seventy miles of new road from
Palmer to Providence, giving the Rhode
Island city a thorough direct connee-
tion with the great trans-continental
Grand Trunk Pacific line, which extends
from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean.

MORE GRANITE PROMISED.
Quarries are Catching Up With Orders
for Rough Stock.

According to the Oldest quarry own
ers the past winter has been the worst
on record for the operation of their
quarries and in consequence most all of
the owners are piled up with orders
for stock and many of the granite
manufacturing plants in this city have
been hampered by lack of stock in the
past few months During the last two
weeks, however, the sun has fast been
clearing the quarries of snow and lee
so that operations are now assuming
their normal proportions and the own
ers are able to make good progress
toward filling the delayed orders. A
quarry owner stated to-day that under
favorable weather conditions in another
week they would have the situation
we'll in hand and able to keep the man
ufacturers supplied The quarries have
been more than month later than
usual in thawing out this spring owing
to the continued cold nights During
the day the snow has melted and the
water ran over the stones and at night
froze into solid ice, making it very
slow work quarrying out stock.

The boy scout movement at the
Presbyterian church received new
impetus last night when concert and
farce, for which the younger element
of the church have been preparing for
some time, was given before a large
crowd A small admission fee, charged
at the door, netted the scouts sum
OF money which will materially aid in
perfecting the development of the or.
ganization Early in the evening peo-
pie began pouring into the church and
at the beginning of the affair there
was hardly standing room to accom-
modate the crowd
The entertainment began with a we'll
arranged concert that came in for much
favorable comment Each number in
turn was received with deserved ap-
lause Byron Clark OF Burlington, boy
scout commissioner for Vermont, was
present and spoke interestingly for
several minutes of the work undertaken
by the organization throughout the
state Among other numbers worthy
Of mention were piano solo by Prof.
Cecil 6 Egg, organist at Christ church,
Montpelier, and vocal solo by William
Powell, Burlington choir boy. The

and Miss Hazel Maekay; piano solo,

ell; ward drill, scouts; vocal solo,
Miss Lorraine Loranger; mandolin and
piano duet, Misses Dale and Reed;

The two.act farce "A Yankee Ped
der" followed the concert and was
easily the leading feature of the even
ing For many Of the participants it
was the first effort on the stage This
was not evident from the acting, how
ever, and the different characters ac-
quilted themselves creditably at every
turn. The personnel had been training
for the presentation for several weeks
and the performance last evening
amply reflected the care and compe-
tence of those who had charge of the re-
hearsals The east Of characters fol

OF the accident, but it will probably
never be known just what happened,
as no one was there when the accident
occurred. The horse may have kicked
Mr. Dunn, or he nav have, in the bad
travelling, been thrown out part way,
and so lost his life The news came
as terrible shock TO the whole COM

his usual health
