The special meeting in RUTLAND
to decide whether or not the vot
ers would empower the board o
aldermen to issue 100000 in waite
bonds, the money to be used TO,
construction of a larger reservoir
resulted in the turning down O.
the proposition by a vote of 92'
to 191. The decided feeling against
the proposition resulted, it is said
from the action of the special wa
ter committee, which contracted
bills amounting to nearly $4,000
before the doings of the commit
tee were known to the people.
Frank c. Williams announced on
Nov. 10Th that he intends to re-
sign the craftsmanship of the re-
publican state committee. This will
make necessary a reorganization
of the committee. Herbert G.. Bar
Der, of Brattleboro, the Windham
county member of the committee,
is receptive candidate 70 the
succession to Chairman Williams.
Earle S. Kinsley of Rutland, the
Rutland county member, is also in
the receptive list, it is said. While
no canvass has been made OF the
fmembers of the committee, it Is
the impression that Mr.. Kinsley
will have strong support for the
place.
I That Thomas Fl. Browne of Rut-
land, is a candidate for the collect
orship Of the Burlington port be-
'came known Nov. 18th, and altho
Mr.. Browne refused to discuss the
situation, he would neither affirm
nor deny the report. His friends in
that section of the state, however,
are known to be active in his sup
port. 1t was generally supposed
that Mr.. Browne might be slated
for a Job outside the state. He is
the democratic national committee
man from Vermont, and has al
particularly busy during the recent
campaign and an ardent worker
for the Wilson cause.
The New York section OF the

and three empty milk cars. The
passengers numbered about a score
and several of them were injured.
Col. E. L. Bates, of Bennington was
hurt about the back and returned
to Rutland on the next train. Miss
Lottie Stone was badly shaken up
and Benjamin Warren, the news
boy, was injured in the left leg.
