Away back in seriptural times clean through to the present age this custom has been in vogue, the plain wooden or stone slab Of centuries ago gradually giving way o more artistic work until today our ceme- tries contain many costly and elab- crate specimens of the stohe-cut= ters ait. Among those engaged i'll this line in Washington or adjoining counties none enjoy better repu- tation than John J. Wayt Of Sprng- dale Mr Wayt deYotes himself to marble and granite monumental work in all it's branches and 10 the production Of fine monuments, headstones, markers. etc, everything from the most 2 aborate stones to the plaincr grades for tho z who dseire the less exIen i've.

 Some people ave an idea that jewellers in the trade enters of the larger cities can do better work and quote lower prices than those io- cated in the smaller places This idea however is quite incorrect, tle fact being that jewellers in the large cities are compelled To carry an enormous stock, and rents b. ing so much higher they are com pelled to charge higher prices in order To meet running expenses. n this connection a few words con corning C.

 Trofi Pidlipchak and his wife, who live near the scene of the tragedy made heroic efforts to rescue the lads but failed. and they themselves were thrown into the water.
 The lads were sliding on the ice of the embankment leading to the river. The. ice on the river seemed perfectly safe,Nbut suddenly all three were pre- cipitated into the water. Pid1ipchak saw the accident and hurried to the scene. He mapaked to grasp Kara shensl<y's hard for a moment. but the little fellow was too weak to hold on. In the meantime Mrs Pidlipchak tried to help her husband, and the lee gave way, throwing both into the water. They managed to scramble ashore in safety. The Citizens Engine company threw fire ladders out over the ice, but 1t was too late.

IMPROVEMENTS TO THE
 STATES WATERWAYS
Bill Is Ready for Report to the Senate.
Special to The Bulletin. )

 Washington, Feb. 15.-The senate committee on commerce have com- pleted their report on the river and harbor bill which passed the house January 28, and will report it to the senate when the Connecticut river bill is out of the way.
 The bill provides for the mainten- ance of the following Connecticut i'm provements:
 The Pawcatuck river, $6,000; Five mile river, Greenwich and Westport harbor and Saugatuck river, all in one item, $5,000; for Milford harbor, S5,000; for maintenance of the improvements of New Haven harbor, $10.000. to which the senate has added an amendment appropriating the sum of $50, 900 for the further improvement as recom- mended by the engineer officer of the army.

MADERo WON'T RESIGN.
Persistentiy Refuses to Consider It.
 Truce Lasted But Few Hours.

Mexico City, Feb. 16.-Hostilities were resumed with renewed ferceness in the Mexican capital today after a truce which lasted only few hours.
 The armistice signed at 2 o'clock Sunday morning by the representative of both sides, agreeing to suspend op- erations for 24 hours. was broken be- fore noon. Soon the sound of heavy cannonading and the whirr of machine guns announced the return of the fed erai troops 10 their posts in front of the arsenal
 It appeared as if the words of Ma dero and Diaz might prove prophetic and that this time the battle would be to a finish.
 President Madero this morning reit- erated his refusal to comply with the suggestion of the senators that he re- sign. He declared that he was still able to dominate and that, given time, he would crush the rebel forces.
 General Diaz had not shown himself to be greatly in favor of the armistice but consented to 1t out of respect for the efforts of the American ambassa- dor and the ministers of the powers to bring about a cessation of hostilities coInbatants still within the zone of the fshtirf" could be removed to a position of comparative safety.
 Diaz regarded the truce as merely delay in the accomplishments of his fixed purpose to drive Madero out of the presidency. The fighting Satur- day had undoubtedly gone in favor of the rebels, who had resisted all as- saults against them, had received Into their ranks several hundred federal deserters and had obliged the federal commanders to admit that for the present at least. the rebel position was fmpregnabIe.
 General Hterta, stha comm ander oe the government troops. a hard fighter, who has been through many eani- paigns, also was opposed to the arInis- tIce and chafed under tine terms which it imposed upon him. Nor did he willingly agree to the sending of large body of his forces hack to the federal base near the national palace last night

Hartford. Conn.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 16-
 Letters to Connecticut mayors are to be sent by the Connecticut Good Roads association asking the co-opera- tion of the cities in securing enact ment by the general assembly of 1egfs- iati, n that will give the state a system ,of public highways which will be sec end to r e in the country.
 The oDject of the association is to secure from the legislature a bond issue of s5,000.000 to cover the cost of constructing 375 miles of main trunk line highways throughout the state, one a.ong the entire coast line; one from New Britain to Thompsonville; ono from Danbury to Meriden; one from Hartford to Danie1son, and one from Wiilimantic to New London. A stJGy of fhe map of the state will show what a great benefit this system of trunk reads will be to this section in c:tse the project meets with favor able stct.cn.
 The Good Roads association has been advIsed by the leading highway engineers that a road can be built with slx-inch concrete foundation ard d tEir wearing surface of tar or asphalt, nr both, for $12,OO0 per mile. This, they say, would out1ast all other II ethods of road building which are cheaper on the first cost. but which have to be repaired constantly.

Are Protected
 By Old Glory ALL NATIoNALITIEs AT AMERI-
 CAN EMBASSY. LEAVING MEXICO CITY
Many Americans Start for Vera Cruz Where American Battleship Lies at Anchor and Two Others Are Ex- peoted Today.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Hurried prep arations were made in Mexico City to- day for the flight of American women and children from the stricken city to safety within the borders just as soon as the armistice had been de- clared. The American embassy staff and the committee appointed by Am bassador Wilson began the work of assembling the anic-stricken fugitive women and children at the embassy. Many who hitherto had paid no heed to the warning of the ambassador to leave the city now were eager to em- brace any measures which meant their deliverance from the panic which has followed in the wake of 8 weeks dis orders.
 The Georgia at Vera cruz.
 It was pointed out that the easiest way to safety lay via. Vera Cruz, only a short distance by rail Once arrived at the port of the capital city, the refugees would have full protection pending the continuance of their jour ney by steamer to American soil. One American dreadnaught, the Georgia, already lies at anchor in Vera Cruz harbor and two others, the Vermont and Nebraska, are due tomorrow. With the guns of these three sea monsters levelled toward the city, refugees would have little to fear, but If ne- cessity should arise, the fugitives could be taken aboard ship.
 While preparations for flight of the women and the younger members of the American colony were going for ward. the work of removing all for eigners from the danger zone was en- tered upon in earnest and hundreds sought safety in the neighborhood of the American embassy, where every kind of shelter was employed as a place of refuse.
 Cuban Flagship at Vera Cruz.
 Washington, Feb. 16.-The cruiser Cuba, flagship of the Cuban navy, reached Vera Cruz today, according to a despatch received tonight at the Cuban legation. It was said at the legation that 8 special permit had been secured from the Madero government under which infantry and artillery would be landed from the Cuba and taken to Mexico City to guard the Cuban legation and to protect CubaIs! citizens.
