unanimous opinion Of the court
In accordance with this doctrine the
court struck down as Illegal tho license
agreements by which manufacturers of
81 per cent. of the sanitary enameled iron
ware in the United States were bound to-
ecthcr in combination. The license agree
ments allowed the manufacturers to use

tons now under way by Attorney

ESSEX JUNCTION HOTEL
BURNED TO THE GROUND
Fire Originates in Chimney and Destroys Struct-
ure with Contents and Personal Effects of
Proprietor and Employees.

Another piece Of work which was credit
ably accomplished was the saving OF the
ice house, garage and other buildings.
The Burlington men took care of that
part of 1t.
The walls Of the main building fell q fter
the fire had been in progress about an
hour. The south bound train from Mont
ZEAL was held UP for n considerable time
by the hose which crossed the track, and
freight or two were held back for the
same reason. The passengers Of the train
took a lively interest in the blaze and
helped to swell the crowd OF slghtseers
which. augmented by many from Bur-
lington, reached into the hundreds.
SCANT WATER SUPPLY.
The trouble with the water pressure Is
said to be that tho valve Of the reserve
reservoir was shut off. When this became
known the three inch main which Is used
TO supply the locomotives with water was
shut off. and when the valve at the
r, serve reservoir was opened there was
a pressure Of about sc pounds, which was
all that was needed.
At the time of the fire Mrs. john
son was in Burlington and the only
personal property saved was what she
had on. When 1t became apparent
that the main building was doomed
Mr. Johnson rushed to her room but
could not get in on account of the
flames 4 large part of her Jewelry
and nearly all Of her clothing was
therefore destroyed. Mr.. Johnson
saved only one suit of clothes and a
night shirt. besides the clothing and
effects which he wore. Miss Marsaret
Daley, Arthur McGinnis and other en-
ployes of the house saved only the
clothes they were wearing.
HOUSE a LANDMARK.
The junction House was built nearly
half century ago by George Howe
and was "A popular hosiery. being q
resort for sleighing parties. dinners
etc, in addition to taking care OF g
large number OF commercial men. II

Rutland. Nov. 1.-the special election

100000 in water bonds, the money to be

An Explanation

On account of q misunder-
standing which has risen since
Keith Demmon was burned
yesterday by q broken electric
light wire l wish to make the
following explanation. The
wire was a 23O0 volt wire but
was connected thorugh a very
high resistance so that it is not
probable that the child receiv-
cd more than 100 to $50 volts.
Had there been a ground on the
line the chances are that the
child would have been killed.
The getting of rubber boots by
Mr.. Goodrich was the only
proper thing tn do. No person
should attempt to rescue a Per
son on q live wire without q
dry board or good rubber boots
