ESTIMATED COST is $4,000
After Conference with Barre Quarry
owners Last Night Railroad Officials
Said They Would Open Way to
Undeyeloped Quarries.

AT the meeting Of the directors Of the
Barre railroad in Montpelier yesterday
afternoon, it was voted to build an ex-
tension on the qdarries. Last evening
President T. Z. Byrnes. Gen Mgr. +. w.
Stanyan, Gen. Freight Agent G. d. Wa
ters and Roadmaster T. II. Watson came
to Barre and met committee from the
Quarry Owners association at the rail-
road Offices in Depot square. The COM
mittee from the Quarry Owners was
George Straiton, Douglass Carclay and
Samuel Gerard.
President Byrnes notified them the
road would build an extension in the
spring, which would be practically 1000
feet long, running from Websteryile, the
purpose being 20 serve the quarries on
the East Barre side The main line Of
this extension viii run to the Libersont,
Barre Medium, Straiton and Sibson
quarries and will help to develop very
large territory Of granite on the hill.
Mr.. Straiton, chairman OF the Quarry
Owners committee, was seen this morn
ing, but he said he had nothing to add
to the statement made by the railroad
The following statement was issued
by the railroad this forenoon:
"The board of directors of the Barre
Railroad company at its meeting yester-
day authorized President Byrnes to inn
mediately make application to the pub
lie service commission for authority to
extend the main line of the Barre rail-
road from a point near Websteryille to
the quarries and mdeveloped property
lying on the easterly side of the Barre
hill. This extension will cost between
fifty and sixty thousand dollars and will
undoubtedly help develop some Of the
best quarry land on the Barre bill which
has heretofore been without railroad con-
nection.
my Byrnes has held various confer
ences with the quarrymen during the
present year, and this action on the
part of the railroad is the result Of
these conferences and i III compliance
with tile solicitation Of the quarrymen
in that district for better transportation
facilities for the output Of their quar-
ries.
"At meeting Of the railroad officials
with the quarrymen at Barre last night
the quarrymen were informed of the ae-
tion of the directors, and told that a
petition would at once be fled with the
public service commission Of Vermont
on the part Of the railroad company
asking for right to build this extern
sion, and that the necessary legal steps
would be taken to secure the necessary
right-of-way, and that work of the con-
struction of the road would begin as
soon as the necessary legal authority is
secured 1t is hoped that early next
summer the new line will be completed
and in operation.
"By this action Of the railroad its Off
GERS show their confidence in the pos
sibilities Of much greater development

DREADFUL CARNAGE
In City Of Nanking-Worst Recorded in
Modern History.

Nanking, China, NOV. liz Historic
Marking last evening was the shambles
of the Manehu butcher. The sun set
upon scene of fire, rapine desolation
and butchery unreeorded in modern his
tory. Twelve thousand Manchu and im-
perial old-style soldiers held Purple hill
where they were entrenched, while from
beneath their stronghold they are driv
ing before them hordes of Chinese out of
the city. Nearly 100000, representing
every class, have escaped.
Innocent Chinese leaving everything
behind them are fleeing terror-stricken
and destitute to the shelter in the fields
at the rear of the reform forces. The
latter, numbering between 10000 and
10000, are impotent to check the slaugh-
ter or revenge the slain, because of their
lack of ammunition.
The reyolutionists had delayed a Sec
ond concerted attack upon the Msnchus
pending the arrival of ammunition ex-
pected from Shanghai. The Manchus
took advantage of the situation.
During Thursday night the republ.
cans made demonstration. but did little
shooting and there were few fatalities.
The foreigners are being treated with the
utmost consideration. When the gates
We're opened in the morning, the people
thronged toward the country, each car
rying his belongings and driven by the
imperialists.
Soon afterwards the carnage com.
menced. Since the night of November
s, when the first attack was made by the
reyolutionists, the Tartar general has
endeayored to terrorize the inhabitants
! by wholesale executions. Those whose
queues had been cut off were beheaded
by the dozens, but yesterday when the
order was given for a general slaughter,
the whole native city was invaded by
the Manchu soldiers, who ruthlessly mas
sacred men, women and children. The
aged, the young babes in arms were
shown no mercy. Any queueless victim
was beheaded Immediately.
The order appeared to be that anyone
wearing anything white which suggested
the white badge worn by the reformers
must be killed. Fires sprang up every
where and a large section of the native
city was burned.

CUPID PLAYED STAR PART
And Burlington Man Was One of the
Principals, Too.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov ll.-Cupid never
played prettier trick than when he
connived at the mating of the wife-rid
den sheriff John C. Brownell, in "The
Fortune Hunter" now playing at the
Grand opera house, and well known
Cincinnati belle, Miss Estelle Wynne, a
singer Of considerable local reputation,
and the daughter of Charles II. Wynne,
manufacturer of 1908 Cypress street.
The wedding ceremony yesterday aft
ernoon at the rectory of the Church of
the Assumption, with Father Conway
officiating, was the happy elimination
of romance that had its beginning a
few years ago when Miss Wynne and
Mr., Brownell whose home is in Burling-
ton, VT, were members of o. b. Thay-
er's "Sweet Clover" company. Miss
Wynne was the ingenue of the company
and Mr., Brownell played parts opposite
TO her. Soon thereafter Miss Wynne
left the dramatic stage and devoted her
self to concert work as a soprano. But
Cupid had driven his arrow home sure
ly, for when "The Fortune Hunter" COM
pany came to town last Sunday, things
blissful and nuptial-like developed in
swift and satisfactory fashion
When the company moves away next
Sunday to fiji an engagement in Pitts
burg, there will be an extra ticket pur-
chased for the new wife just acquired, as
the bride will travel with her husband.
The audience at the Grand yesterday
afternoon was startled when after the
regular fall of the curtain, at the end
of the play, it was quickly drawn up
and while the orchestra pealed forth
'Lohengrin" the members of the com.
pany stepped from their parts and be-
gan to pelt one of their number with
rice and confetti. Some thought il was
a part of the play but Others realized
that something was wrong when the rice
was pouring upon pete Willing" Brown
ell the woman-hating sheriff Of "The
Fortune Hunter" II was then that Mr..
Brownel in graceful manner, called
his bride from behind the scenes and
presented her to the company. Miss
Wynne, vocalist Of ability, is very
popular among a large circle of friends
in Cincinnati

BOYS IN TROUBLE.
They Are Alleged to Have Been Thought
less in Getting Material for Club.

Armed with warrant issued by
Grand Juror Z. r. Davis, Officer Harry
Gamble rounded up a bunch of south
end youths last night and brought them
to the police station. The alleged Of
tenders composed sextette Of the fol-
lowing lads, who are said to belong to a
club with headquarters at the head Of
Washington street: George Rennie,
Theodore Lascor, Charles Lascor, Rob
ert Webster, James Webster and Ronald
Morgan. In city court later in the even
ing, before Acting Judge A. "A. Sargent,
the BOYS were arraigned on charge
of larceny.
The alleged theft consists of 500 feet
of lumber taken from a pile belonging
to Mrs. CaIista Bolster, on Washington
street. and the alleged transporting of
loose and portable articles in the way
of furniture from the building at the
driving park, also the property of Mrs.
Bolster. The case against Charles Las
cor and Robert Webster was mol pressed,
while the other cases were continued
until November Is.
The sextette arrested last night are
said to be included in the membership
of club. which has its rendezvous n
the woods around Circle street A few
davs ago, according to the story, men
in the employ of Mrs. Bolster missed
a quantity of lumber from the pile on
Washington street. A quiet investiga.
tion of the vicinity revealed certain
amount OF timber in the shack which
looked suspiciously like the missing lum-
bar During the search the chairs came
to light and the arrests followed. It
was evidently the belief Of the court
last night that the oifense was the re-
suit of theughtlessness, and it is not
unlikely that the boys will be allowed
to settle with Mrs. Bolster for the loss
of the lumber.
