BULGARS V|CTORS
IN FIRST BIG
BATTLE
Three Days Fight Ends in Cap
ture of irk-Kilesseh
$4,000 TURKS CAPTURED
Forces of the Ottoman Government
Found Allied Armies Too Strong
and Retired.

London, Oct. 24.-Three days bat
tie and a Bulgarian turning move
ment has resulted, according to Sofia
accounts, in the fall of Kirk KiIisseh
and the capture of the Turkish garri-
son numbering 5000 men. That so
many Turks have been taken is re-
garded as improbable and the more
likely report is that the Turks retreat
ed in the direction of Bunarhissar to
the southeast.
The capture of this stronghold, to
which the Turks attached almost the
same importance as to Adrianople,
was confirmed tonight from Constan-
tinople in an official communication
explaining that the Turkish army at
Kirk-kissileh in attempting to split
the enemys forces discovered that
they were in greater strength than
had been anticipated. The Turks
therefore retired to the south to
await reinforcements.
The news of the Bulgarian victory
has caused great rejoicing in Sofia,
where it is expected that the fall of
Adrianople will soon follow. If, as is
generally assumed, Abdullah Pacha
is still engaged in bringing up his
main army to Adrianople, the posi-
ton of that town is critical.
An interesting situation will de-
velop should the Turks be compelled
to evacuate Adrianople. 1t Ia sup
posed that the next stand of the
Turks viii be made at Demotica, 25
miles south of Adrianople, an impor-
| tant strategic position ON the road to
Constantinople.
In other directions both the Servi-
ans and the Turks claim great victor
les at Kumanove, the Servians de-
claring they have captured the town
and the Turks claiming they have re-
pulsed the enemy. Later reports in
dictate that heavy fighting is still
proceeding in this district.
The Greeks are operating from Ar
ia towards Janina, Metcheck and the
neighborhood of Grimbovo.

DROWNED IN FREsHET
Hight Water in West River Valley
Results in One Fatality.

Brattleboro, Oct. 24.-All that sec
ton of country at the head of West
River valley is suffering from the
highest freshet it has experienced
since 1869 The water rose suddenly
last night and today all service over
the West River Valley railroad is at
standstill because of the serious
washouts on the line.
Jedd d. Bell, a farmer, about 20
years old, was drowned last night
while trying to ford Sawyer brook.
With his son Edward he was return
ing home from Peru village and found
1t necessary because the bridge across
the brook near his home, was out of
commission, to drive through the wa
ters of the swollen brook Owing to
the freshet the current was very
strong and bowled the horse off his
feet also upturning the wagon.
Father and son, together with the
horse and conveyance, were swept
down the stream. Young Bell man
aged to get ashore, but his father was
washed away.
This morning a large party of

the washouts will be repaired so that
light trains can pass tomorrow
There are four places between
Townshend and Jamaica where the
track is completely washed away
Some of these washouts are 75 feet
in length. The shoulder of the road
was torn out in a dozen places on the
road between Jamaica and South
Londonderry. one of them for a dis
lance of ESQ feet Other places are
badly washed away by mountain
streams created by the terrible rains.
Two repair trains with timbers, ties
and rails were sent up the line from
Brattleboro today.

trict No. /, Order Eastern Star, was
held in Masonic temple, on Wednes-

of the inclement weather a large dele
CATION was present from the nine
Chapters in the District.
At $50 o'clock, the ladies of Mt.
Anthony Chapter No / served, in the
spacious dining hall, a banquet to
more than us members of the Order.
The tables gave evidence of high ar
tistic ability, both in their decoration
of potted ferns and cut flowers, as
well as in their generous supply of
tempting viands. The guests were all
agreed that the banquet had been a
decided success.
Promptly at o'clock, the meeting
was called in the Chapter room with
Tucker Chapter No. 3S of North Ben
nington in charge; and an attendance
of nearly 200. The following Grand
Officers of the Grand Chapter of the
State of Vermont, were received with
the grand honors:

G. NJ, of North Bennington.
Much regret was expressed at the
absence, on account of illness, OF

because of the i'll health of H. T. Ea-
ton, Past d. ID. G. p, of Red Mountain
Chapter No. Al, of Arlington
After the reception of Grand Off
GERS, Mrs Laura B. Cole, A. G. C. gave
an especially fine address of welcome
which received very pleasing re-
Spouse from Mrs. Maud LaBatte of
Red Mountain Chapter No. Al.
The work of comforting the degrees
was exemplifed by Phyllis Chapter
No. SO of Rutland, and was very i'm
pressively given. A review of the
work by Mrs. Ruby c. Hawley, G. L..
and remarks by other Grand Officers
were very instructive and of much
interest, as were also the reports OF
Chapters. One new Chapter has been
organized at Bennington and the work
throughout the District was reported
to be in a fiourishing condition.
The closing ceremonies of the meet
ing were conducted by Mt Anthony

often wears the brightest colors. This
gives her a chance to lay aside the
sober yet attractive tailor-made suit.
Dresses are worn to harmonic or

the room is decorated. Red looks well
where the c%olorings are the claret
shades and brown. Green I'm the soft,

An afternoon gown of geranium pink
Is effective where the surrounding col
orings are of purplish hues. Bright
sapphire blue harmonizes with almost
any color.
A striking combination which looks
well for afternoon wear Is red and
purple In fuchsia shades.

and nets of all varieties make effective
