PECULIAR REVELATION.
In Connection With Fire in a Burlington
House.

burlington, Dec. l2.-The police de-
partment is investigating what looks
like case of arson. The arrest of Will
liam Colburn has already been made on
that charge and there may be more to
follow. The fire in question is that OF
Tuesday night in house belonging to s,
H. Miller on North Winooski avenue. A
number of peculiar circumstances have
already been unearthed regarding the
case.
An unknown man by the name of Ed
wards, who cannot now be located, rent
ed the second floor of the house of Mrs.
Miller and paid one weeks rent in adj
vance. The furniture was moved in
directly, stoves, chairs and different ar.
ticles of household goods That night,
when no one was apparently in the
house, fire broke out in bed and blazed
up so that the flames were seen by the
men at the car barn and they sent in an
alarm. The prompt work OF the fire
department stopped the blaze so that
nothing of consequence was burned and
a pretty good idea of how the fire start
ed could be aseertained. The bed con-
tanned two or three mattresses, which
had the appearance of having been set on
fire.
An investigation was made and one
of the first facts discovered was that
the furniture had been procured that
day in Kaplin's second hand store. The
price TO be paid was $50, and IS was paid
down. Another fact of more Importance
is that on the same day S400 Off in
surance had bpeu taken ont in the
agency of G. i. Stratton. Then Ed
wards, who was not supposed to be
anywhere near the fire, was found to
have been seen by several going away
from the house and has been seen by no
one since. Colburn's part in the af-
fair lies in the fact that he procured the
furniture and says he rented it to Ed
wards for St per month.
Little is known about either of the
men. Colburn says that he comes from
Rutland and has wife, living in Sara
nae, n. Y. He is a mason by trade.

WANT SAME CLASSIFICATION.
For Monumental Granite as for Building
Granite Shipments.


Seven men who are closely associated
with the Barre granite industry were
heard in dispositions before George w.
Wing, notary, at the State House in
Montpelier yesterday on the petition OF
Hodges & Baldwin ct al OF Lincoln,
Nebraska, against the Central Vermont,
the Montpelier & Wells River, the Boston
& Maine and other railroads for reduced
rates on monumental granite shipped
from Barre to Lincoln. The real pur-
pose of the petition is TO secure as low
rate on monumental granite as on
building granite. The depositions are to
be used before the interstate commerce
commission at Lincoln on December Is.
". II. Young OF Fremont, Neb., man
ager of the Fremont Traffic bureau rep
resented the petitioners at the hearing
yesterday, and Harry c. Shwtleif rep
resented the railroads At the hearing
before the interstate commerce COM
mission, il is expected that other rail
road officers will be present. The DE-
positions taken yesterday were by II. J.
NJ Jones Bros. Co, W O. Hanson,
weightmaster and inspector for the
Montpelier & Wells River r. r.. Will
liam Barclay of Barclay Bros, Waldron
Shields, wholesale granite dealer H. J..
Morrison, representative of a wholesale
firm, John c. Booth, manager for the
Martinson Estate Granite Co., and Ste
phen Rizzi, granite manufacturer.
The petitioners set up that the freight
rates on monumental granite should be
the same as on building granite and they
ask that the two be put into the same
so that both shipments
shall be marked simply as granite" On
the other hand, the railroads contend
that the monumental granite is more
and the risk of handling is
greater; hence the rate ought to be
higher than on building granite
