LADIES MANAGED THE DANCE.
Therefore, Very Successful Social Affair
Was Held Last Night.

Exercising their prerogative of this
leap year of 1912, the ladies of the as
sembly dancing series being held in How
land hall this winter put on dance
last night which set a pace for the men
to keep up with. In the first place, the
usual attendance was doubled, there be-
ing over eighty couples; in the second
place, the eighty couples seemed to join
in the merriment with more zest than
usual; and in the third place-well, in
the third place, it was a general good
time.
Riley's orchestra furnished the music
for the dancing, which began shortly
after o'clock and which was scheduled
to stop at midnight, but which, by deci-
sion on the part of the managers at the
evident desire of the dancers, was con-
tinued for another hour. Following up
the leap year stunt of inviting the men
to. attend the dance, the ladies engaged
the figures and, needless to say, kept
the floor crowded most of the time to the
close of the dance.
The committee in charge of the affair
were the wives OF the managers of the
assembly series, as follows: Mrs. A. Z.
Mrs, E. M. Tobin and Mrs.
f. C. Eaton. 1t was announced that the
next assembly dance will be held next
Thursday night.

FIND NO BASIS FOR
BURGLARY IN BRANDT CASE
The Grand Jury Minutes Show No Tes-
timony to Justify Indict-
ment.

New York, Feb. 9.--The grand jury
minutes in the case of Folke Engel-
breoht Brandt, who was formerly en-
ployed in the household of Mortimer L.
Schif, the banker, upon whose COM
plant Brandt was sentenced to serve
80 years in Dannemora state prison,
were found Wednesday evening.
A transcript of the minutes was laid
before District Attorney Whitman. On
Wednesday night the district attorney
showed a copy of these minutes to
Judge Rosalsky.
The minutes contain absolutely no tes-
timony upon which an Indictment OF
burglary in the first degree for which
Brandt was sentenced to 80 years in
prison-could have been found legally.
Ifad an inspection Of the grand jury
minutes been had before pleading, the
Judge on the bench would have been
compelled to dismiss the indictment on
the ground that it was found upon in
sufficient testimony
Brandt entered the Schifr home
through opened doors, with the inten-
tion of asking aid of the master of the
house. No matter what may have oc-
CURED thereafter, that was his pur-
pose, as shown without one syllable in
contradiction. When his plea to the
CRIME was made it was with the dis
tinct, positive assertion that he had
not "broken into" the house: chat he
had not gone there to commit crime"
A former judge of general sessions
said Wednesday night the plea entered
by Brandt amounted to Brandt saying:
81 am guilty, but | did not commit the

Another Arrest Made.

In city court this morning, Judge H.

THREATENING BLAZE IN
ST0NESHED SNUFFED OUT
Barre Firemen Called to Beck g. Beck's
Place on Granite Street This Fore
noon and Made Short Work
of the Flames.

A fire which might easily have as
sumed serious proportions but for the
prompt response OF the regular firemen
broke out this morning at 9:30 o'clock
in small building which houses sur
face cutting machine within fifteen feet
OF the main shed at the Beck & Beck
granite plant ON Granite street. The
tire is believed to have originated from
a small gas stove used to heat the build
ing. The blaze spread rapidly and when
it became evident that the shed em-
ployes could not cope with it, the CEN
tral fire station was notified by tele-
phone.
A number of the regulars and the
chemical apparatus answered the alarm
and found stiff blaze under way on
their arrival. Two tanks of the chemi-
cal luid were poured into the building
before the fire could be snbdued The
loss is confined to damaged woodwork,
although it was at first feared the sur
face-cutting machine had suffered by the
flames. The building is located within
fifteen feet Of the main shed, and had it
gained greater headway the entire
plant might have been destroyed.

NEPHEW OF EDWIN HAWLEY
Mrs. crandall Had just Completed Serv-

Disorderly Conduct and Mischief
in Tenement House Row.

New York, Feb. 9.--Mrs. Frederick
Crandall, nee McManus, came over to
New York to-day from Blackwell's is
land, where she had been serving a
sentence for disorderly conduct and mis-
chief as the result of tenement house
row, and it was learned for the first

late Edwin Hawley and prospective
millionaire.
Young Crandall was one of the rail-
road mans favorite nephews, but got
into his uncle's bad graees in 1896, when
he married Miss McManus, who was a
telegraph operator for the Southern Pa
cifie railroad. As Hawley dies intestate,
it is believed that young CSandall's
share of the estate will be more than

TO D0UBLE-TRACk THE
CENTRAL VERMONT LINE
That Is Purpose of Grand Trunk Sys-
tenn Said Cy Warnan In Talk In
Boston Wednesday Evening.

In the course of his remarks before
the New England Association of Com
mercial Executives at Boston Wednes-
day night, Cy Warman, press representa-
tive of the Grand Trunk railroad, made
the statement that the main line of
the Central Vermont railroad is to be
double-tracked from the Canadian line
to White River Junction. He said in
part as follows:
"We have a double track line leading
from Chicago through Canada to the
international boundary. For the past
year we have had under consideration
the tracking of the Central Ver-
mont main line from the boundary to
White River Junction. Plans and speci-
fcations of this work are already com
pleted. 1t is not only our, hope and
aim, but our intention, to build from
Vermont through New Hampshire and to
Boston a double-track railway of the
Grand Trunk standard. That standard
calls for double track line with 100
pound steel, steel bridges and no grade
crossings.
''In certain quarters in New England
there seems to be uneasiness lest we
divert traffic from the transcontinental
line to Boston. To relieve the worry of
our friends, let me say that Of the 49,
600 900 bushels of wheat shipped from
the head of the lakes from September
last to the close Of navigation, nearly
81 100000 passed out by the way of
Buffalo. Think of that Nearly half
the export wheat from Fort William
going to Buffalo. Would it be any worse
for Canada if it came to Boston? It
would be better for Canada, for if it
went out by the port of Boston, the
same ship that put to sea with this
grain would bring a return cargo to
the port of Boston, and so supply a
return load for the empty cars.
1T is simply impossible to make any
thing of the port of Boston without a
trunk line connection. So far as this
continent is concerned. Chicago is the
railway centre of the earth. 1t is
one real gateway to the West Natural
ly, with the most friendly relations
with western roads, the Grand Trunk
secures a vast tonnage at this great
terminal, bringing it east over its splen-
did double-tracked line. In addition TO
Chicago, we take business from Toledo
and Detroit Our lake steamers bring
business from Chicago to our lake ports
and a line OF car ferries brings traffic
from Milwaukee to Grand Haven, Mich.
In fact, these great producing states
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin are reached directly by our
lines, and we want to bring this traf
fic to the port of Boston over our own
rails

ORANGE COUNTY CASES.
Considered In vermonts Supreme Court
Yesterday and To-day.

The Orange county case of Emma J..
Davis, by next friend against the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad was argued in YER
mont supreme court yesterday afternoon
and this morning. ID. S. Conant APP
peared for the plaintiff and w. b. G.
Stickney and j. G. Sargent for the
railroad This case was tried at the
June term, 1911, and the jury returned
plaintiff for injuries alleged to have
been sustained when plaintiff was run
down by a shunted car in the railroad
yard at White River Junction. The
case comes up on exceptions filed by
the defendant.
w. b. c. Stckney opened the argu-
ment with an elaborate description Of
the yards and OF the position of the
tracks with reference to the station and
other points. He then read from evil
dence introduced at the trial in the
lower court to the effect that the plain
tiff, young girl, was run down by the
car while racing the car and attempt
ing to get over the crossing ahead of it.
Several witnesses testified that there
was brakeman on top of the car at
tempting to set the brakes as the car
was running along the siding under it's
own momentum, after being shunted
into the siding by locomotive This
evidence tended to show that the girl
saw the train and that she testified to
that effect.
Another Orange county case was ar
gued yesterday afternoon, it being that
OF William G. Sanborn, administrator of
Eunice y. Comstoek's estate, against Abe
Jacobs and trustees, r. NJ. Harvey and
ID. S. Conant for Sanborn and NJ. NJ.
Gordon and J. W. Gordon for Jacobs.
This case arises from an alleged trans
fer of bank book to Mr.. and Mrs.
Abe Jacobs by Eunice Y. Comstock. It
is alleged the book was transferred to
them in consideration of their agree
ment to support Mrs. Comstock during
her lifetime and give her. Christian
burial.
The Franklin county case of J. E. Fitz-
simmons against Richardson, Twigg &
Co., scheduled for hearing, was con-
tinued on request of c. G. Austin,
and the Franklin county case of Evan
geline Macarthur. G. A. Jarvis, William
Younger against E. w. Blondin and
Mary E, Chennette, injunction and writ
of sequestration) was brought up. c. G.

ruled that the case could not be heard
since there had been no final decree in

be taken and the appeal is dismissed.

for John Turley, whose case comes be-

$4,000 FOR EVERY DAY.
What Massachusetts, Is Paying for the
Militia Guard.

Boston, Feb. o.--It is costing the state
$4,000 day to maintain the militia
guard at Lawrence, according to a state
'ment by Governor Foss in a special mes
sage to the legislature yesterday.
The governor asks for special appro-
priation to cover the expense of main
tanning the troops, which to date is
about $4,000. OF the total amount,
81 900 is for winter equipment, includ-
ing overshoes, mittens and caps.
The governor also sent in with his ap-
proval an appropriation bill of $640, 900
for the regular expenses of the militia.
The committee on rules reported
against the order appropriating $4,000
for the relief of the strikers, after re-
,ceiving the opinion of the attorney gem
eral that such an appropriation would
be unconstitutional. The report was up

ONE RIB IN THE WAY
OF MANS SUICIDE
Proctor Hungarian Workman Shot Him
self With 32-Cahbre Revolver and
Bullet Struck Rib and Was
DETECTED.

Rutland, Feb. 9.-Domestic troubles
are supposed to have supplied a motive
of Judas Koyars, Proctor Hungarian,
who attempted to take his life by shoot
ing yesterday afternoon. Kovars, who is
a marble worker, is 80 years old, He
tried to make away with himself while at
his home, shooting himself in the side
with 32-calibre revolver, but the bull
let was DETECTED when it struck a rib.
He was removed TO the Proctor hos
pital, where it developed that his con
dition was not so serious as was at
first thought Kovars is employed at
the building shed of the Vermont Mar
bic company but did not work yester-
day. Although conscious after the shoot
ing he would make no explanation Of
his attempted suicide.
