1000 LOADS OF GRANITE.
Are Being Dumped Into the Central Yer
mont Crevasse at Bethel.

Bethel April l.After a delay Of
about 8S hours following the washout
on the main line of the Central Vermont
railroad company near this place Thurs
day afternoon, the New England States
Limited. southbound. made its regular
run Sunday afternoon In the interval
through passenger trains had either been
Cancelled or had found their way north
and south by some other line, while pas
sengers, usually numbering 40 or more
on the local trains, had been carried in
carriages furnished by the railroad.
These trains stopped at the passenger
station when bound south and at the
crossing near j. A. perley's when bound
north, requiring transfer by teams OF
nearly three miles.
A large force of men kept at work
almost constantly, had very bad place
to fill, and after the use of 100 carloads
OF granite waste had temporary road
bed which shortly after noon on Sunday
stood the test of the heavy work train
before the express was sent over. 1t IS
estimated that to permanently repair the
roadbed win require 1000 loads. The
present temporary route makes curve
of about eight feet diameter from the
old route at that point.

Burlington, April Friends of VII

When last seen. Howard was fishing in

York CITY and on this occasion borrowed
some fish OF a neighboring fisherman to
I'm out a barrel which he shipped at once.
several checks for the fish are now at
the postoffice and have not been called
for. which serves TO corroborate the the
orv that he has come TO grief. IL i also
said that his fishing sled has been found
washed up ON the shore Of an island
Nothing is known Of Howard's family
beyond the fact that he has a brother
living somewhere down country. Tie

AGAINST FoRcIBLE FEEDING.
So She Calls on President Wilson for
Intervention in England.

London. April Mrs. Emerson OF De-
troit. Mich, yesterday received letter
from her daughter, Zelie, who is under
going two months imprisonment in
Holloway jail for participating in win
dow smashing raid by militant suffra-
gettes Her hunger strike and forci-
Bile feeding in prison have attracted a
great deal of attention.
The letter smuggled out by released
suffragette prisoner. stated that Miss
Zelie Emerson had just completed three
DAYS solitary confinement for violation
of prison rules. She was feeling very
sick and feared permanent impairment
of her digestion.
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst in a speech
Yesterday at a music hall praised the
behavior of Miss Emerson, declaring her
a heroine Beatrice Harraden, the au
thor, has sent the following cablegram
to President Woodrow Wilson:
Having just come back from Amer
lea. where | learned from all sources
that there is strong feeling against
the barbarity of forcible feeding, | ven
ture with confidence to beg you to inter-
fere in behalf of Miss Emerson, who is
being forcibly fed in Holloway jail and
is in preearlous condition"
Baron Won Horst of San Francisco
states that after taking legal advice,
he is satisfied that forcible feeding is
illegal and therefore constitutes ground
for interference by the American gov
ernment on behalf of Miss Emerson.

MUCH ANXIETY FELT
AT CAIRO, ILL.
Ohio River There Stood Above SO Feet
This Morning and 1t Was Expected
to Go Higher During the Day.

Cairo, H., April The Ohio river
rose steadily throughout the night and
this morning stood above SO feet, caus-
ing much anxiety. Today is expected to
prove crucial one. The crest of the
Hood is expected to reach here to-day
and if the levees hold it is believed the
worst will be passed.
Much trouble was experienced during
the night along the Big -Four levee. Three
times slides occurred and only valiant
work saved the day. Dozens OF carloads
Of sandbags were placed about the weak
spots. The water leaked through under
the concrete wall and stood on Main
street to-day; but the leyee showed no
signs of giving away.

AN OLD-TIME MILLER.
Philip S. Prior, Well-Known Barre Man,
Died This Morning.

Philip S. Prior, one of the oldest mer'
chants and millers in Barre, died at his
home. 45l North Main street, this morn
ing at ) o'clock after a four months
Illness with cancer. He leaves his
wife and four sisters. Mrs. Rhoda Over
man of Barre. Mrs. Serotia Prior of Will
liston. Mrs. Maria Davis of Winchendon
Mass. and Mrs. Mary Allen of Chicago
Ill. One granddaughter, Miss Luna Nor
gan. of Barre. also survives.
Mr.. Prior had been troubled with a
eancerous gravth for oTer month prior
to Jan. /. when he entered the Mary
Fletcher hospital in Burlington. There
he underwent an operation early in the
month. which was repeated around Feb
/. Neither seemed to afford him the
desired relief and he grew rapidly worse,
Through it all, however. he remained a
patient sufferer. although subject to the
most intense pain at times.
Mr. Prior was born in Jericho June %
1910. His parents died when he was
seven wears old. but he remained in the
town of his birth until he WIS thirty
four wears old. Thirty mine years ago
he came to Barre and was employed a.
miller in the grist mill which now
forms a part of the Smith, Whitcomb q
Cook plant on North Main street. For
thirty years Mr.. Prior handled the ex-
tensive grist business at the mill and
during that lapse OF time he formed an
mountaineering with nearly every
farmer in Washington and Orange coun
ties. A wide circle of friends which he
gained in those days remained with him
until his death.
In 1000 Mr.. Prior relinquished his du-
ties at the mill and established a flour
and feed business III the rear of his
residence. There he built up a lucra-
tive trade that has continued through
thirteen years.
From early manhood, the deceased has
been an adherent of the Universalist
church in this city. charter member
of Granite lodge, No. 81. F. and A. NJ,
he retained an active interest in the
welfare OF the organization to the last.
He was one of the comparatively few
survivors of that company of men who
signed the charter papers of Granite
lodge. Both in fraternal circles where
he was ever prominent and among a
large fraternity of men with whom he
came in contact while engaged in bus
mess. his death will be deeply mourned.
Mr.. Prior was twice married, his first
wife being Miss Philena Barnes, whose
death occurred some years ago. One
daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Prior Morgan,
born to them, died few years ago.
His second marriage, to Miss Minnie
Hackett, took place in Barre in Novem-
Der. 1899.
Funeral services will be held at the
house Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
Rev. John b. Reardon, pastor of the
Universalst church, officiating. The re-
mains will be inferred in the family
lot at Hope cemetery, where the Ma
sonic eommittal service Will be used.

HE POINTED
GUN AT BARRE NAN
Antonio Octavo Said Tt * ID Dis
appointed ir ,c w Dicker
w .uIS Sargent.

An EasNe,arre man whose name is
said to Antonio Octavio is retained at
police headquarters pending the action
of States Attorney j. Ward Carver,
who intends to file an information
against the prisoner in county court.
He may be charged either with breach
of the peace or assault with intent TO
kill The latter is considered to be
more probable in the light of what is
said to have transpired at the Cow llv'
cry barns on South Main street yester-
day afternoon. Attention will not be
turned to Octavio's case until late this
afternoon or tomorrow morning. In the
meantime Octavio will remain at the po-
lice station.
The trouble seems to have started
when 0ctavio and Harry Sargent OF
Brooklyn street effected transfer OF
horse flesh or dicker, as it is desig-
mated in trading parlance. According
to the story, 0ctavo became weary OF
his end of the bargain and asked that
each horse in the negotiations be re-
stored to the original owners. Sargent
demurred at this proposition, and the
two came together near the Cow stables.
Eve witnesses of the affair assert that
Octayio became heated over the failure
of his plans to mature and drew load
ed gun on Sargent. Evidently the lat
ter didn't relish the idea of flirting with
death at such close range and he ac-
cordingly notified police headquarters.
The alleged fracas occurred near .
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and help
was soon at hand. Officer George Carle,
so the story goes, went to the livery
barns and helped to disarm the disap-
pointed horse trader. The latter was
afterwards taken to the police station.
States Attorney Carver is conduct
ing an investigation of the circum-
stances and will decide upon the charge
later At noon today it was stated
that indications pointed to the prefer
ring of serious charge against the man,
as the story told by persons who were
near the shuttle seemed to warrant dras-
tic action

Barre Assessors Anticipate
Little Trouble Under
New Tax Law
TAXPAYERS APPEAR
EARLY TO FILE LISTS
Municipal Appointive Off
GERS Began Fiscal Year
To-day

Today marked the beginning of the
administrative changes oecasioned by
the March appointments of Mayor w.
H. Ward all of the lesser officials en-.
tering upon their tenure Of office April !.
Barring the executive. the city clerk and
treasurer and the aldermen who tool;
the oath of office, Immediately after
election nearly every appointee, as well
as the other officials elected March 4,
has qualified within the last three
weeks. Owing to the fact that the off
eial slate selected by Mayor Ward and
endorsed by the city council revealed but
few changes from the officers who served
last year. Barre enters upon a new adj
ministration of its departmental affairs
under circumstances which make the
transition hardly noticeable.
In past years there has always been
"a small group Of unimportant appointees
who have failed to qualify. This is the
case ths year, although all officials upon
whom devolve duties of any significance
have taken the oath at city hall. Prom
inent among the changes is that of the
first constable and collector. George /.
Morris succeeding NJ. B. Nichols, who
has served in that capacity for many
years.
Assessors entered upon their new du-
ties today. although the work OF prep
aration for compiling the annual grand
list has been under way for several days.
Conspicuous in the board of assessors
is the absence of F, B. Cate, whose place
is filled bv the election of John J..
Wallace. The board of assessors met
this morning in the newly renovated
quarters in the city buildings Hence
forth the office formerly utilized bv the
first constable and other city officials,
will be given over entirely to the use
of the assessors.
The filing of lists started in with
rush this morning. ]. A. Field of Pat
terson street was the first tax payer
to appear with his list From the bus
mess which developed in the forenoon. it.
was estimated that over one hundred
will have appeared before the first dap
is over. The time limit is placed at
April 20, when all lists must be fled
with the assessors.
When interviewed this morning. the
assessors were of the opinion that the
new offset law would cause but little
said. to interfere seriously with tho
work of the board Pretty nearly every
tax payer whose property mounts to
any appreciable value has been careful
thoroughly to digest the new tax meas
ures. Few inventories viii be delayed
by an inadequate conception of the tax
laws.
Inventory notices VIII be handed out
in the different ward during the next
few days by corps of young men who
were receiving their instructions at the
assessors headquarters this morning.
The following assiatants have been chos-
en- to distribute the notices: Ward !,
Martin Riley, Alex. Anderson; ward 2,
John Riley, +. +. Barrett; ward 3, Wen
dell Averill John Carroll; ward 4, Peter
Thorn, Michael Buzzi ward s. james

PUMPING OUT THE WATER.
Barre Quarrying Operating Will Be Re-
sumed on Full Scale Shortly.

With the temporary abatement OF
heavy rainfalls, work in the quarrying
section begins to assume more promis.
ing aspect, according to reports received
from Milestone hill this morning. OPP
erations have been necessarily held up
bv a condition which forced the quarry
owners to turn many of their hands to
pumping water out of tn deposits. I'm
der circumstances, the supply of rough
stock has been materially curtsiled and
the dearth of workable stone has been
seriously felt among the manufacturers
here in Barre. Much of the water in
the quarry holes had been drained away
or pumped out by today and the quarry
owners were nearly ready TO resume
operations on the old scale.
Lack Of power has also contributed
to the general delay in quarrying rough
stock and with the return to normal
conditions every quarry on the hill Is
expected TO be worked to capacity.

Mexicans Will Mobilize Army of 10000
Men to Fight Followers of Zapata
to the South of Mexico City.

Mexico City, April 1.-The breaking
off OF the negotiations for peace with
Emiiano Zapata and his adherents
forced the federal government to mobil-
ize strong force of troops to undertake
campaign against the rebels to the
south of the capital.
The war department says the govern
ment troops begin moving to-day into
the districts infested by Zapata's fol
lowers and that the concentration Will

been gathered together. 1t is expected
that General pasqual Orozco, jr., and
many of his old chiefs will participate
in the southern campaign.
