BUMPED BY AUTOMOBILE.
Miss Nora Adams Escaped With Some
Bruises and Shaking-Up.

Miss Nora Adams, who lives on the
Montpelier road, suffered severe shak-
ing-up this afternoon at 1890 o'clock,
when an automobile running slowly up
North Main street struck her a glancng
blow on the left thigh as she started to
board street car. The young woman
was able to limp into nearby store
without assistance and Drs. L. L. Leon
ard and j. II. Woodruff were called.
They found that no bones had been
broken and that Miss Adams suffered
only few scratches and a bad jolt.
The girl was in the Lyons store when
she heard street ear approaching, and
ii was while she was running to catch
the car that the mishap occurred. In
her haste, she did not notice the auto
mobile, although the driver, c. W. Aver
i'll, made every effort to steer his ma
chine clear of the girl. The approach
of the car evidently excited Miss Adams,
and before she could gain her bearings
one of the forward wheels had struck
her. Mr.. Averill stopped his machine at
once and the motorman brought car No.
81 to halt. Afterward the girl was
taken into Moore & Owens store, while
the automobile driver went after a ply
sician. Later she was taken to her
home. Persons who witnessed the aecI-
dent agree that blame was in no way
attached to the driver of the automobile.
or the motorman.

vERMONTER is FAVORED.
For Secretary of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee.

Manchester, N. H., July l0-New Eng
land members of the Democratic national
committee will favor the election of
Committeeman Thomas Browne of Yer
mont, for secretary when the committee
meets in Chicago on the 10Th of this
month for organization, unless Governor
Wilson Indicate a preference for some
body else to serve in that important
position, said Eugene +. Reed, the New
Hampshire national committeeman, on
Tuesday. Mr.. Browne is eninently fit
ted for the position, Mr.. Re 4 declared,
by virtue Of his long connection with
the national committee, which has famil
iarzed him with the workings of the
organization.
Mr.. Reed was emphatic, however, in
stating that the wishes of Governor Will
son, and Governor Marshall the candl-
date for president, will be para
mount and any plans advanced by mem
bers of the committee will require the
advice of the candidates before definite
action is taken by the committee. He
asserted that the best of feeling prevails
between the candidates and the commit
tee and that harmony is to be the watch
word henceforward during the campaign.
Mr.. Reed declared it to be his opinion
that the officers OF the national commit
tee should be members of the committee,
rather than men from outside the com
mittee, although there is no rule requir-
ing that the chairman and secretary shall
be committeeman.
This feeling is shared by other com
but, as has been said, if Gov
ernor Wilson desires a chairman from
outside the committee, the committee is
prepared to sink its own ideas. Mr..
Reed inclines TO the belief that if there
are no members OF the committee exact
ly TO the liking of the candidates for the
and the secretaryship, the
committee nevertheless should name an
executive committee TO serve their spe-
cial interests, which should act in CON
cert with the national committee off
gals during the campaign.

NEW BEDFORD WEAvERS
REJECT GRADING
Manufacturers Are Notified That They
Must Take Down Notice or There
Will Be a Strike IN
the Mills.

New Bedford, Mass, July l0-At a
meeting of the weavers' union held last
night, the union voted that unless the
manufacturers of the cotton mills of this
city take down the notices posted a
short time ago announcing system OF
grading, by IL o'clock Saturday, July l3
that the members of the union would
not report for work Monday, July 10.
The union received a letter from the
manufacturers association i'll reply to u
request for a conference on the grading
system. The manufacturers in the letter
state that if the union will submit in
writing a plan, which in the judgment
of the union is better than the one now
in use, that the association will APP
point a committee to discuss the same
with the union.
The meeting last night voted that it
would answer the manufacturers by say
ing there is only one plan that it will
agree to, and that is the total abolition
of the grading system.
The weavers union had the indorse-
ment OF the textile council in its action,
granted Monday hight, when the council,
composed of spinners, carders, loomtxers,
twisters and stationary engineers unions
voted to indorse any action the weayors
took in the grading matter, and the
weavers union also has the promise OF
moral and financial support from the
National Federation of Cloth Weavers.
The closing of the mills in this city
will mean some $4,000 to 10000 opera
tives idle.

DRIVER WAS FINED.
Durfee Charged With Holding Back al
Grand Rapids.

Grand Rapids, Mich. July l0.--The
two stake events of the grand circuit
here yesterday, the Alcyron purse, 2:07
class trotting, and the Grand Rapids
railway purse, 2:20 class trotting, both
developed surprises. The former held n
real sensation when Driver Durfee, aft
er plotting Helen Stiles to victory in
the third, fourth and fifth heats, was
fined 5000 for not winning sooner.
In the Alcyron take 2:07 trotting,
Dude Archdale won the. first and sec
ond heats, with Gold Dollar close con-
tender. The second heat, done in 2:07
IA, was the fastest this season.
The new point marking rule adopted
last winter was used for the first time
on the grand circuit. According to these
the positions of the horses in the va
rious heats are added together at the
conclusion of the race and the horses
aside from the winner are awarded posi-
tions in the summary, according to their
respective total points. This rule re-
suited in some odd divisions of the mou-
ey as shown by the summary.

Conisbrough, England.

Conisbrough. England, July l0.-The
bodies of 90 victims of a series of ex-
plosions in the Csdeby colliery yester.
day morning have been brought to the
surface. 1t is feared a further search
of the mine will increase the death roll
to so. OF the killed, 80 were mine
workers; the others were men who went
into the mine to rescue those entomhed.
Among these were the government in
spectors, including William Henry Pick.
ering, chief inspector of mines of the
Yorkshire and North Midland district
who was to have explained to King
George and Queen Mary yesterday after
noon the workings of another Yorkshire
colliery.
The king and queen visited the scene
last night apd personally expressed their
sympathy.
Late last night the death roll had
swelled to rs. This included several of
the injured, who died after being brought
to the surface. In addition to Pickering
and Bury, the manager of the pit, the
dead include Douglas Chambers, the
mine manager and two government in
spectors, Gewitt and Tickle.

some time. When hard pushed by the

We're sent to-day to the town of Cabece-

wooden and wire fence of the park. The
second car ripped off two more telegraph
poles, was nearly demolished, and turned

Republicans Decide That Committeeman
Barnes, Jr., Should be Member.

Washington. ID. c., July lO.-Most of
the Republican national committee, who
remain here to-day for conferences with
Chairman HilIes and other Taft leaders,
expressed the opinion that the advisory
committee, to be chosen at the national

not on the national committee, but it
seemed to be settled that Committee
man William Barnes, jr., of New York
would be a member. Senator Crane was
among those talked of for the place.
There as a pronounced sentiment in
favor of having the progressive. element
represented. Western men are pressing

HALF MILLION LOSS
AT SUMMER RESORT
Thousand Island Park. Swept BY Fire
and About 90 Buildings Were De-
stroyed--No Lives Were
Inst

Watertown, \. Y. July l0.-Thousand
Island park was swept yesterday after
noon and last night by a disastrous fire
which wiped out practically the entire
business section, the Columbian hotel
the New York state educational build
ing and 81 cottages. The loss is estimat-
ed at $4,000 No lives We're lost nor
were there any serious casualties SO far
as could be learned.
The fire started at one o'clock in the
afternoon and burned for more than
eight hours. The blaze spread with
amazing rapidity, famed by a strong
wind The hotels and cottages of the
fashionable resort were filled with sum
mer guests, many of whom had to va
cate so hurriedly that they lost practi-
cally all their belongings. Hotel guests
and cottagers did their best to fight
the flames, but without department
organization or suitable apparatus, their
efforts were of little use.
Shortly after the fire had broken out
in Haller's department store from an
undetermined cause, and spread 30 quick
ly that il was feared the whole town
would go, help was sent for by telephone
w AifAhHuild t1d difi Va bOHs toNftP-
ing through the business section AMI
leaving nothing but ruins behind, the
flames spread TO the Columbian hotel,
which was destroyed, and then began eat
ing up cottage after cottage until more
than four score of them had been eon
sumed and there seemed no prospects
of checking the blaze The entire park
appeared TO be doomed.
All wires to the Thousand Island park
went down because Of the blaze. Com
munication with the resort is slow and
difficult.
The resort was one of the most popu-
lar on the st. Lawrence river and was
having a busy and successful season.
Wellesley house, when the blaze 81
tackled early, escaped destruction but
was badly damaged The fire turned
its course and attacked the block where
the Columbian was located. This en-
tire square was speedily ablaze.
While pancky stampede was avert
ed, many residents, particularly women
and children, grew frantic with fear as
the flames continued their sweep to-
ward the water front and tnere seemed
no prospect of checking them. Prac-
tically the entire summer population was
to stand helpless, without even
a chance to do effective work, and wasch
the blaze sweep toward the river until
men and fire apparatus arrived from
outside points.
