DIED OF PToMAINE POISONING.
Fred L. Hamlin of Newfane Ate Some
Canned Peaches.

Newfane, Aug. Fired l.. Hamlin,
about 20, retired farmer who lived a
quarter of a mile below this village,
died about 10 o'clock Wednesday even
ing of ptomaine poisoning. About two
weeks ago Mr.. Hamlin partook of some
canned peaches at one of his meals and
next day was taken seriously ILL., DR..

and diagnosed the case as ptomaine
poisoning. Mrs. Hamlin also partook
OF the peaches, but only lightly, and tee
effect upon her was slight. Mr.. Hamln

Property Owners, and Nom Resident.
License Fees are as follows:

FIRE AT QUEEN CITY PARK.
Barn Destroyed, the Loss Being Esti-
mated at $500.

Burlington, Aug. 1.-THE barn at the
road entrance to Queen City Park
owned by the Queen City Park asso-
citation, was destroyed by fire yesterday
with loss estimated at 81 800, which is
covered by insurance. There are no
buildings in close proximity to the
burned building and the fire was confin-
ed to it. Shade trees in the vicinity
were badly damaged, however.
A quantity of lumber which had been
selected to build a store for the associa-
ton was lost and so hens which oecG-
pied a part OF the barn lost their lives
in the flames. Three horses were saved.
A ton of hay and a lot of grain was
lost.
The fire caught in the north end OF The
barn near the hens, and it is believed
to have been accidentally set by some
one with a lighted cigarette. Some chill
dren playing in the vicinity, saw the
flames and ran to give the alarm. The
fire had been burning Is minutes per-
haps before il was discovered.
Several automobiles that used the
barn as garage were fortunately out
at the time.

$500 10000 in Checks Change Hands in
New York Daily.

Ida NJ. Tarbell, writing about the
New York Clearing house in the July
American magazine, says in part:
The clearing house was originally de-
yised to meet the difficulties which the
banks of a city or large town find in
transacting business with one another
An enormous number of checks, drafts
and other items naturally pass between
them. These must be presented and
eashed The work involved in settling
up daily accounts with fifty or sixty
different home banks is prodigious.
Seventy years ago the practice in New
York was to keep porters running TO
and fro with checks and gold. Rarely
were the accounts settled oftener than
once week a practice which enabled
the speculative banks to take dangerous
advantage. The banks were always at
war over their accounts. 1t was to
bring order and safety into this I'M
satisfactory condition that in 1853 some
fifty-two New York banks undertook to
devise plan for simplifying their ex-
changes so as to make daily settlements
possible. a result which obviously would
make for the stability of them all.
''The machinery for carrying out this
desirable end is not greatly different
now from what it was at the start, al
though it is of course on a vastly greater
scale In 1853 when the clearing house
association began operations in New
York it had hut one room. the basement
of No. IA Wall street To-day it owns
in Cedar street white marble building
which cost over a million dollars. The
total clearngs on that first day were
S22. 64S BOOST. In 1911 an average OF
1905 ,016,S97a9 in checks were collected
daily through the New York clearing
house. The machinery for handling this
enormous exchange is so simple that it
takes only about a half-hoW in the
morning and halfhour in the after
noon. Not only has the time been re-
duced to this minimum, but the amount
of money actually handled in effecting
the exchange has been equally reduced.
A daily exchange of S305,OO0,O0O can be
made with a little less than $4,000, 600,
or four and seven tenths per cent. OF
the money that otherwise would have to
be handled"

PROMISED MORE PAY.
Engineers and Firemen of Central YER
mont's Southern Division.

Brattleboro, Aug. 1.-The engineers
and fremen of the Southern division OF
the Central Vermont railroad, embrac-
ing the line from New London. Conn
to Brattleboro and South Londonderry,
have obtained from the officials of the
road rating OF pay on par with that
heretofore paid the enginemen OF the
northern division. A committee recent
ly waited upon General Superintendent
g. G. Jones and the concession was
granted, as was a general percentage in
crease in pay TO all the engineers and
firemen in the employ of the road.
A story was prevalent here yesterday
to the effect that the engineers and FIRE
men of the Central Vermont Were to
strike at O'Clock yesterday afternoon
in the event that their demands were
not granted, but this, from the best in
formation obtainable, appears not to
have been the case.
The committee of the engineers and
firemen, after receiving some concessions
from the company, did ask to meet with
the Grand Trunk officials in the after
noon at o'clock in the hope that they
would obtain still greater concessions,
but it is claimed there is no intention
of striking in the event that there is
a refusal to give them still more.
Heretofore, the southern division has
been rated as a branch of the main Cen
tral Vermont and the crews working on
this branch" have never received the
same rate OF pay as those who ran on
the main line. This the committee in
sisted upon at their recent meeting with
the Central Vermont officials and OBJ
tanned it, Furthermore. all of the en-
gineers and firemen are TO have an in
crease in pay, so that those on the south
ern division will find very material in
crease in their pay envelopes, as their
Increase will be greater than that of
those employed on the main line or
northern division.
