When "A-m" Spells "Am."

One OF the supposed niceties Of speech
which to many ears seem overnice is
the pronunciation Of the word pro-
gram when the French termination
"me" is left off. These careful folk try
to shorten the sound Of the "a with
the shortening Of the word. But
gram" spells gram" in English and
may safely be so pronounced wherever
it is found Nobody says telegram

GOV. RALSTON SETTLED
STREET CAR STRIKE
Employees Won Their Demand for Arbi-
tration, but Nothing Was Said
About Recognition.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. S.-The strike
of the employees of the indianapolis
Traction & Terminal Co. was settled
late yesterday through the efforts OF
Governor Samuel M. Ralston. The en-
ployes won their demand for arbitration,
but nothing is said about recognition on
the union in the terms of settlement.
Street car service is. to be resumed
within IL hours, according to the terms
Of the settlement of the strike, which
also provides against any further inter-
feI.hce with the operation OF the cars.
All the men who were in the employ
of the company Friday night, Oct 81,
when the strike was called, and all em-
ployes who had been discharged on ac-
count of joining the union, are to be
reinstated by the company with full
seniority rights and without prejudice.
The company, however, is not compelled
TO reinstate men who engaged in vio-
lence during the strike, but the refused
men may appeal to the public utilities
commission of Indiana for a hearing.
Disputes and grievances as to wages,
hours, conditions and service will be re-
ferred to the utilities commission for
arbitration if the company and EN-
ployes fail to reach mutual agreement
within 10 days. The company must
take up these grievances with its EN-
ployes within five days after the re-
sumption of services. The utilities COM
mission, by the terms OF settlement,
must render decision which shall be
binding on all parties interested for
three years and shall date back to the
resumption of work within 80 days from
the date of the first hearing.
In addition to the union officials and
traction company officers, the agreement
was signed by Ethelbert Stewart, rep
resenting the United States government,
and Gov. Samuel NJ Ralston, for the
state of Indiana.
The settlement of the strike means
that the 1000 members of the Indiana
National Guard, who were called to In
dianapolis Thursday, on order of the
governor, for strike duty, will be de-
spatehed to their home stations as soon
as possible. The soldiers were not called

Abraham Long, ell-Known
Montpelier Man, Died
Early Tod
ATTEND Il o0TBALL
c YESTERDAY
Was Enthusiastic Over It
and Retired in His
Usual Health

After attending the Spaulding Mont
pelier football game yesterday afternoon
and having partaken of supper, Abraham
Long, a former well known merchant of
Montpelier, retired last night in his
usual health, but at 5 o'clock this morn
ing other members OF the household
were reused by his breathing and be-
fore physician could arrive, he had
passed away. The cause of death was
neuralgia of the heart. Although he
had followed the football game with a
great deal of interest and was jubilant
over the result, his relatives do not as
cribe his death to the excitement of the
contest, asserting that he had been trou-
bled with his heart for some time.
The funeral will be held Monday fore
noon at 10 o'clock, and the remains will
be taken to Boston for burial in the
Forest Hill cemetery.
Mr.. Long was 70 years of age, hav-
ing been born in Strafford on June 10,
1884, moving from there with his father
to Point Shirley. Mass. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools there and at
Lunenburg academy, leaving school at
the age of Is to enter the employ of
the Revere Copper works, where his fa-
ther was superintendent, and after
working there for some time he went
to the copper region of Michigan to work
for the same concern. Later he spent
a short time in Chicago, where he was
engaged in music store business. Re-
turning East, he located in Boston and
was engaged in business there some
time, coming back to Vermont in 1877
and locating at Ely, where he was in
the copper works for six years. Again
he returned to Boston for four years
stay, during which he was in the mer-
camille business.
In June, 1887, Mr.. Long moved to
and bought shoe store at
p State street, where he conducted
successful business many years, selling
to b. NJ. Shepard and retiring some
years ago. Mr.. Long was prominent in
Masonry both in Massachusetts, and in
Vermont. His wife, who was Helen L.
Souther of Boston, died nine years ago.
He leaves one sister, Miss Martha +.
Long, of s Park avenue, Montpelier,
which was his home; and one nephew,
Fred D. Long, of the same address. His
brother, Daniel Long, died of heart fail
lre in much the same way as he was

BRAwL FOLLOWS GAME.
Tense Feelings of Barre and Montpelier
Supporters Break Loose.

| The tense feeling on the part OF
Spaulding and Montpelier high school
rooters in yesterdays game on the
Montpelier seminary campus broke loose
after the game in a demonstration of
pugnacity which kept several Montpelier
policemen busy for some time. Most of
the trouble centcred at the corner of
East State and West streets as the
crowd was going downtown.
The first move was made when "Jum~
Laird of the Montpelier team leaped
from an automobile, claiming that he
had been challenged by Barre player
to come out and fight. Laird was fol-
lowed by other members of the Mont-
pelier team and several dozen SYM
pathizers, and the players were SUR
rounded by pushing. jostling mass of
people. Several young ladies were caught
in the whirl and were considerably
mussed up before they were pulled out
of the struggling throng. 1t is said
which was directed toward Barre man.
whereupon the father of the girl rushed
in and "mixed it up" with the deliverer
of the punch.
Meanwhile, three policemen, Connolly,
.htANON anu toibtfis anu ItpulN gutIil
Edward Gilbert plunged into the center
of the crowd. where blows were being
exchanged with considerable frequency,
and began hauling people out to cool
off on the outskirts. The deputy got
into an alteration with young attor
ney' in Montpelier, Arthur Theriault, and
there was another diversion for the
crowd. Finally, the Barre players and
supporters started for home, and the
Montpelier crowd dispersed. Thus end
ed the Battle of East State street
Last night the Montpelier supporters
celebrated their victory by tolling the
old fire bell, emitting ear-splitting yels
of triumph as they paraded the streets
in serpentine formation, and kindIing a
bonfire, about which they danced and
hooted to their hearts content.
Now Montpelier proposes to 60 out
side of the state for more gore; and
to that end negotiations are being con-
drcted with Manchester, n. H., high
school, and if Manchester passes up the
chance they viii try such teams as Ever
EFT. Somerville, Maiden, Medford, Rindge
and possibly some other teams in Mas
sachusetts. 1t is even hoped that
game can be played in Fenway park,
the Red Sox baseball grounds in Bos-
ton, thereby replenishing the treasury of
the Montpelier athletic association.
