LONDON, Nov. 1s.-The first Bull
garian attack on the Turkish line Of
Notifications defending Constantine
pie at Tchatalja has failed. The whole
of the Bulgarian army was engaged
Every available man was moved to
the front from the Bulgarian forces
investing Adrianople. where they
were relieved by Servian troops.
The Bulgarians with all their artil-
lery began their advance on the
Tchataija fortifications on Saturday
and continued the bonbardment Of
the works throughout Sunday. They.
however, found the Turkish positions
so strong that they could make no
impression on them, and for the mo-
ment at least the attempt has been
given up, the firing, according to a
dispatch from Constantinople. having
ceased this morning.
Observers who have been to the
Turkish front agree that the capture
Of the Tchatalja lines must prove a
task of tremendous difficulty. The
days the Bulgarian troops were COM
PEELED to use for the bringing UP of
guns, ammunition and reinforcements
were utilized by the Turks to in
trench themselves and place their
guns in position, giving them a dis
tinct advantage over the attackers.
The Bulgarian troops made their
main attack to the east of Tchatalja,
aiming to break through at the point
where the railway to Constantinople
makes a loop. The strong forts. the
marshes and the guns of the Turkish
warships had evidently discouraged
them from making an attempt TO turn
either flank of the Turkish lines
Should the Bulgar.ans be successful
in their effort to break through the
Turkish left centre, Nazim Pasha's
Ottoman army will be pushed back
to the northeast and its retirement
upon the capital win be Gu of.
The Turks seem to have no hope OF
rolling back the Bulgarian forces. but
if they succeed In holding the lines
of Tchatalja both the military and
diplomatic situation win undergo a
marked change. for a long defense of
the front viii probably compel the
Bulgarians to enter into negotiations
without capturing the Turkish capial
Acting on the recommendation Of

NO MORE SMALLPOX.
Disease Confined to Massey Family

Disease Confined to Massey Family
One Case of Scarlet Fever.
The smallpox has not spread out
side of the family of George A. Mas
sey where it originally appeared, al
though Mr.. Massey is now sick with
the disease, making total of three
cases.
1t has been reported that there
was a case in the Brunette block
but such is not the case although
the Smith family living in the block
with their roomers and boarders are
quarantined pending developments.
1T appears that girl named Em-
mons from North Danville boarded
there and attended school at the
Convent and while she was spending
her vacation at home she visited
family who had been sick with the
disease and the house had not been
fumigated and she contracted the
disease. She came back to the
Smiths to attend school and when
she went home at the week end was
taken sick with smallpox. Health
Officer Hartman has placed all the
inmates of the Smith house in
quarantine until it can be deter
mined whether they have taken the
disease or not.
One new case of scarlet fever has
been developed in the past week,
a child of D. H. Macomber in Sum-
merville. The child was taken sick
on Saturday so it is felt the school
has not been exposed. Mr.. Ma
comber's family and Mrs. Macom-
ber's sisters family are quarantined
to prevent any further exposure.
Owing to the continued existence
Of smallpox in the town the quar-
antine has not been raised in Dan
vile.

Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Co
Has Enjoyed Great Growth.

haS EnJOyeu OfeaC OFOWIn.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of
the establishment Of the Citizens
Savings Bank and Trust Company
is an event of more than passing in
terest to the people of st. Johns
bury and surrounding towns. a
quarter century ago on the 1st day
of February, 1887, this institution
opened its doors for business. Its
first home was in the building now
occupied by the f. A. Scott Co., on
Eastern avenue. A move was soon
made to rooms in the old Avenue
House block and shortly thereafter
to better quarters in the Republican
building. At the time of its organ
ization, the board of directors COM
prised the following men, Jacob
C. Hovey, president; G. M Chase,
Blair, A. L. Bailey, Frank Richard
son and P. F. Hazen. These gentle
men selected as the first treasurer,
Mr.. John T. Ritchie and for some
time he continued to be the only
salaried employe of the bank. The
wisdom of the appointment of Mr..
Ritchie, who has ever since remained
the treasurer Of this bank, has long
become manifest to all who know
how large share of the banks
prosperity has been due to his abili-
ty and good judgment Since 1890
Mr.. Ritchie has been ably seconded
by Mr.. Gilbert e. Woods, the pres
ent assistant treasurer.

Anniversary Of Founding Of Town
the Last Week in August.

st. Johnsbury was founded 1875
years ago and the st. Johnsbury
Commercial Club proposes to have
the event fittingly observed the
coming summer. At the regular
weekly meeting of the Commercial
Club last Wednesday the special
committee appointed some time ago
to investigate was instructed to go
ahead and arrange for a historical
pageant to be given probably the
last week in August. Two new mem
bers were added to this committee
and it is now composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen:-F. H. Brooks,
Joseph Fairbanks, DR.. G. A. Cram
ton, Homer e. Smith, David E. Por-
ter, Charles E. Peck and George ].
Asselin.
1t is expected the pageant will be
in charge of w. G. Langdon of New
York, the same man who put on the
Thetford pageant last year. Mr..
Langdon will probably come to St.
Johnsbury at an early date when a
public meeting will be called and an
effort made to acquaint the public
with the plans and awaken proper
public interest in this latest of St.
Johnsbury's undertakings.

March meeting is approaching and
st. Johnsbury is preparing for it by
calling a general caucus, irrespec-
tive of party, to nominate town OFF,

commissioner and town agent.
Very little talk is heard about
these positions up to date but it is
known that G. H. Morrill, will not be
a candidate for reelection. Some
citizens have suggested the name of
T. r. Stiles as a proper man to sue
ceed him, but it is not known whet-
her he would accept the position or
not. Overseer of the poor w. HI. H.
Robie, Road Commissioner Hawkin-
son and School Commissioner Chas.
w. Steele are candidates for re-elec-
tion and so far as known the rest of
the present officials would accept a
reelection.
The reports of the town officers
have been prepared for the printer
and the following abstracts from
them give a fairly complete showing
of the departments. Town treasurer
Braley has kept the accounts accord
ing to law the past year and each

less companies are establishing stations
