MAIL BAG SlASHED
IN RAILROAD YARD
Over 700 Letters Taken by Bold
Thief Saturday Night
Pouch Stolen from Wagon After Arrival
of New London Tran-Tramp Made
Discovery Sunday Morning.

In moment when the mail wagon
was unguarded at the railroad station
Saturday night mail pouch was taken
from 1t by some unknown person. and
after slashing it open with a knife the
thief got away with 700 to $40 letters
without leaving any clue to his identity
or as to the route ne took in leaving
town A post office inspector was here
the first of the week to see what he
could get hold of relative to the theft
Howard d Yearly, who have the con-
tract for carrying the mail, sent their
team to the station as usual to meet
the s o'clock train north from New Lon
don. Three mail bags come on that
train and they were thrown into the
wagon as usual Saturday night. The
driver looked after some other business
matters and then drove to the post Of
fee
At the Office ii was discovered that
only two bags came with the wagon,
but Ii was not suspected that one had
been stolen as sometimes they do not
all come, through a failure of connec-
tions somewhere. The driver took what
bags came, without paying particular at
tention to the number, therefore his
natural supposition was that one had
failed to connect
That a daring robbery had been COM
mitted was not known until Sunday
forenoon, although at the post office 1t
was thought strange that the pouch did
not show UP on some other train. A
tramp stopped in one of the old stor-
age sheds below the passenger station
and one of the first things he saw was
a mail pouch with a long slit in one
side Willie knew it wouldn't do for
him to be found there with the bag, so
he left in short order and notified the
employees at the baggage room, and they
notified Station Agent E. j. Guthrie, who
was at the freight Office.
Mr.. Guthrie went at once to the shed
and recovered the pouch and then tele-
phoned to the post office, giving the
force there the first knowledge they had
that it was robbery instead Of a fail
ure of connections that had delayed the
pouch.
An examination showed that all the
letters had disappeared, but that the
newspapers had not been disturbed. The
letters which come on that train are
from Boston way and from the
West. There is no record as to how
many letters were taken, but 1t is es-
timated that the number was between
700 and 500. Probably most of the bus
mess men in town lost by the theft,
but there is no way of estimating with
any assurance of accuracy the amount
Of money or redeemable paper in the
letters.
Just when the act was committed is
not known. The wagon usually is ac-
companied by the driver and the Brooks
House porter and ordinarily one or the
other is near it after the mail is load
ed. On Saturday night more persons
than usual were around the station, that
being the night when Col. Theodore
Roosevelt was in town. 1t is not un-
likely the theft went out on a freight
train.

PIANO AND SONG REcItAL.
Miss Hawley and Miss Bane Gave Ex-
ceptlonaIy Pleasing Program Before
large Audience LAST Might.

The recital given last evening by Miss
jessie Hawley, pianist, and Miss Mary
Bane, soprano vocalist, surely was a
most enjoyable affair 1t was feared by
the young women that the reception
which was given Rev Mr.. Houghton by
his church across the way would affect
unfavorably the attendance, but such
evidently was not the case. On the con-
trary, the one helped the other pos
sibly as all the members could not easi-
ly be accommodated in the Congrega-
tional chapel 10 one time and after pay
ing their respects to their returning pas
tor they gladly went over to the Baptist
church and contributed to an audience
that filed the first floor and the gallery,
while some were seen in the upper gal
lery and others were standing.
The program was, perhaps, little
heavy for hot, sultry, threatening sum-
mer evening, but the artists were not
to blame for the weather. We suppose
that it may have been in their minds
to manifest in this opening recital their
scope OF study and Interpretation in pi-
ano and voice work, and certainly every
number showed a rare faculty in ex-
preston.
Miss Hawley, who is a graduate Of
the New England conservatory, reflect
ed great credit on her Alma Mater,
where she studied with Carl Stasny, a
wonderful pianist himself, a friend and
confrere of Liszt, modest and exacting
In the extreme. The Impromptu by
Rheinhold was her most popular number,
though perhaps not more meritorious or
evidencing harder work or study. The
audience, however, were en- rapport with
the pianist throughout and applause was
very generous.
The singer. Miss Bane Of Lewiston,
Me, an especial friend and inseparable
companion of Miss Hawley was heard
with very great pleasure. The night
was everything it should not be, but
Miss Bane, like the artist she certainly
is, rose above it and was in excellent
voice. Her voice-a soprano of culture
and good range-is very musical
throughout and under excellent control
Few persons there probably realized the
years of study and constant practice
needed to attain and retain this control.
The Italian numbers evinced careful
study and her enunciation was excep-
tionally clear, therefore pleasing
To lovers of oratorio the selection
from Haydns Creation, with verdure
the old florid style Of music so typical of
his works. The good old English tongue
as heard in the four grouped songs ap-
pealed strongly to the audience and
brought enthusiastic applause
A church is a poor place to generate
applause, but surely a sympathetic au-
dience left last evening after the last
number THE Jewel Song from Faust.
The recital is to be given in Bellows
Falls this evening, where the young
women will organize classes in addition
to their Brattleboro classes which are

American railroads are preparing for
the greatest volume of traffic this fall
and winter that they ever have at
tempted to handle. Even If no more
freight is carried than was handled in
1909, there will be a shortage of 179,S3S
cars by Oct. 20, according to Chairman
Garrett of the Association of Western
Railways. The boom in all branches of
business and the tremendous Western
grain crop have created a demand for
cars that cannot be met, and appeals
to shippers to make the utmost use of
every available car are being sent broad

BY new ruling of the interstate COM

every company to use prescribed form

II Vermont is to be considered as a
barometric state the returns are more
encouraging to the Democrats than to
the Progressives. The Progressives cap
tured one-third of the Republican forces,
but the Democrats, in addition to hold
ing steadfast to their standard bearer,
made large gains in Caledonia county
and in centres of population like Burling-
