he had resided for the past month. The
cause of the death was cancer Of the

Cook of st. Johnsbury and Mrs f. c..

$3.50 Coal Carries 81 in Gold.

An interesting feature about the coal
mined at Cambria, Wyo.. is that it is
claimed to be gold bearing. Some Of
tie coal has contained as much as 81
per ton in gold, and the coal was sold
for only $3.50 per ton. When coke
made at Cambria was selling for $3.50
per ton, samples were taken from 81
cars during period of three weeks
and assayed. The samples showed an
average of $2.46 per ton in gold and S0.2S
in silver. The explanation offered for
the presence of gold in this coal is that
the sands which submerged the old peat
bog and now form the roof of the coal
ing alluvium. While the sand was being
deposited, the gold worked down into
the underlying bog and is now found
in the coal.
This is one of the interesting state
ments made in report to be published
in few days by the L. S. geological
survey. 1t is bulletin 400 entitled Coal
near the Black Hills, Wyoming South
Dakota by r. w. Stone.
What the coal will do under a boiler
is shown by comparative tests made by
the Cambria Fuel Co., at Cambria. by
the Lincoln Traction Co., Lincoln, Neb..
and by the geological survey fuel test
ing plant at st. Louis. These tests are
compared with similar tests made on
competing Goals. Besides a description
of the coal field and coal mining opera.
tions at Cambria, which is seven miles
north of Newcastle, Wyo., the report
contains a description of all known coal
exposures around the Black hills, ex-
tending from Sundanee and Aladdin.

the Cheyenne river east of Edgemont,

splint, camel, and pine needle are
produced here. The conclusion reached
is that none of The coal localities around
the edge of the Black hills, except Cam
bria, will ever add to the states record
OF coal produced and shipped The re-
port is fully illustrated
The information contained in this re-
port was collected by Mr. Stone at va
r;ous times while he was examining
lands for classifications 1t was not
compiled for publication, but
it proved to be so comprehensive and
complete that it has been assembled
under one cover. Bulletin 400 can be

badly damaged in a wreck at st. Ar

was No. 6l6, an extra freight, south

The cause was the washing out of a

This city has been without electric
power to-day because of the food con-
ditions. The food water in the Lamolle
river, following out the icc, brought such
quantity OF dirt and debris as to
black up the fore bay and get inuo the

no street cars, no lights and no power
for manufacturing concerns in this city.

POLITICS IN ROCHESTER.
Delegates Being Canvassed to Learn Sen
timent.

Rochester, N. ", April 9.--Delegates
to the Republican state convention, who
Get to-day to select four delegates-at-
large to the Chicago convention and
adopt a platform, were carefully cam
yassed to ascertain their sentiments re-
garding the instruction of delegates Tor
Taft. State leaders agreed that a de-
eision on the matter will probably not
be realized until tonight. Senator Root,
Chairman Barnes, William Berr and
Speaker Edwin Merritt j., of the state
assembly, are spoken of as likely dele
gates to be chosen to 60 to Chicago.
State Chairman Barnes with his
friends canvassed the situation and it
was said last night that they had learned
little to cause them to change their
views that the delegates should be un-
instructed. Mr.. Barnes declined to make
any public statement on the matter
other than to say that the whole gnes-
tior would be determined by the COM
mttee ON resolutions tonight
On the other hand. Chairman Samuel
s. Koenig of the Republican county
committee of New York confidently pre-
dicted that the delegation to Chicago
would be instructed pointing out that
both New York and Erie counties had
already come out in favor Of instruc-
tions and that certain other upstate
counties would soon fall in line.
1T must be remembered, said Mr..
Koenig, chat we are with few excep-
tions practically unit for Mr.. Taft's
nomination and it is simply . question
OF trying to ascertain whether it would
be for his best interest to send an in
structcd delegation to the national con-
venton. There viii he no fight and GER
tainly the question viii be settled har-
moniously."
The members of this committee, which
viii not only formulate the platform
but submit the names of the Big -Four"
as well as pass upon the question of in
struction, will choose their own chair

horts gathered in the Odd Fellows hall
on Elm street The district committed
met at the Pavilion this forenoon and
received the credentials of the delegates,
ready for the opening of the convention
at o'clock. 1t was thought that the
washout on the Montpelier & Wells
River railroad line might prevent many
delegates from the Wells River valley
from attending the convention; but to
avoid the possibility of being kept away
many of those delegates went south to
White River Junction and then came
north again last night.
There were caucuses of the delegates
this forenoon, and at the Roosevelt gath
ering the following names were decided
upon as candidates for delegates: Ernest

Middlesex. At the same time it was
decided to present Henry L. Ballou OF

Of the district convention.
Opposed to Mr.. Ballou as a candidate
for chairman, the Taft wing of the pal-f'
presented Walter II. Crockett of Mont
pelier. The candidates for delegates Sc.
lected by the Taft people were PorteS

"PINCHED" IN RAID.
Six Girls and Four Men Taken by the
Burlington Police.

Burlington, April amy motion pic
ture show having the crowd in attend
-ance that showed up at the city court
room yesterday morning would have
called it a ''full house" The unusual

to see six young women and four young
men arraigned who were "pinched" when
the Russell house, corner of Main and
Battery streets, was raided by five mem
bers of the police force at o'clock yes
terday morning.
The object OF the search at the Rus
sell house was intoxicating liquor, but
there didn't seem to be any evidence
of this kind of refreshment. The near
est approach to it was refrigerator full
OF near beer, commonly known as "three
per cent" or "Uno." But it was evil
dent to the officers that the house was
not entirely vacant, so the various apart
ments were visited and the result was
the finding of sociable crowd who were
more or less surprised at the appear
ancc of the officers. They were lined
up and taken to the Jail The female
members of the crowd were: Albina
Benoit, Blanche Drolette, Lottie Cole,
Rose 0uimette, Josepheno Pashe and
Irene Whelon. The men were Thomas
Snyder, George Rogers, Tuffield Vincent
and William Dixon. Before the day was
over the men were released on bail of

violation of the law relative to i'm
moral conduct

MAN LYING IN WATER.
He Was Found at Castleton Corners and
Removed to Rutland Hospital,

Rutland, April 9.-Lying in pool OF
water in an open lot near Castleton Cor
ncrs an unknown man was found yes
tcrday and he was brought to the Rut-
land City hospital suffering greatly from
exposure. 1t is believed that he was in
tho water for a number Of hours The
temperature when the man WAS found
was below the freezing point and small
hopes are entertained for his recovery.
He is about - or 81 years of age weighs
about $50 pounds, smooth face, with
sandy moustache and greyish hair. He
vas dressed in black suit, no over.
coat and black derby. His hat and
shoes were beside him.
The man was discovered by Charles
Brown several feet from the road which
runs east from the trolley tracks at
thc corners. Constable j. w. Comstock
was at once notified and the man was
carried to a nearby house where heat
was applied to his body. He was hare
ly breathing but at no time was he con-
scious. DIR. b. H. Seeley of Castleton
was summoned aud he at once advised
the removal of the man to the hospital
In his judgment he was suffering from
exposure. He was of the opinion that
the man had been drinking.
A search of the mans clothing was
made by Constable Comstock in an en-
dcavor to find some clue as to his iden-
tity but this proved fruitless, there be-
ing not even scrap of paper or an
initial to serve as pointer. In his
pockets were a pipe, jackknife and an
old pocketbook with no money.
The preliminary examination did not
reveal any signs of foul play. The mans
lungs We're both eongested and his heart
action was very weak
