BUlGAR|ANS HAVE
At LAST TAKEN
ADR|AN0PLE
Turkish Fortress Falls After
Three Days Fighting
END OF LONG SIEGE
Distracted Populace Rush Along the
Streets Not Knowing Where
to Find Shelter.

London, March 27.-The fortress of
Adrianople was taken by storm by the
Bulgarians yesterday morning after
fighting of the most terrible charac-
ter since Monday. Flames are devas-
tating the city at many points. After
the outlying Notifications had been
captured, the Turkish troops set fire
to all their depots and stores, as well
as to the arsenal and the artillery
park. They also blew up the bar
racks and a number of powder mag
azines. Most of the population fled.
Shukri Pasha, the Turkish comman
der-in-chief of Adrianople, surrender
ed to Gen. Ivanoff yesterday after
noon. The announcement made by
Central news agency of London that
Shukri Pasha had committed suicide,
which was photographed to Sofia, is
therefore shown TO have been untrue.
At an early hour yesterday morn
ing fires were raging in various sec
tons of the beleagued city. The mad
dened populace, whose nerves had
been shattered by the almost inces-
SAINT bombardment for period of
over five months, were running about
the streets from one point to another
not knowing where to find shelter
Some of them rushed along the line
of forts, daring the heavy infantry
and artillery fire that was in progress
The great artillery arsenal in the city
was burning and the barracks lying
between the hospital and the north
ern forts also were in flames.
The Bulgarians in strong force grad
ually advanced their lines encircling
the city, and by short rushes the in
fantrymen approached near enough to
prepare for the final dash. On all sides
the combined movement of the at
tackers on the ever-resisting city was
continued. The Sth Bulgarian divi
sion, operating against the series of
forts along the southern section of
Adriancple, occupied some important
advanced positions and captured 20
Turkish cannon, eight machine guns
and 500 Ottoman soldiers.
The Bulgarian infantry had reach
ed within 300 yards of the main forts
by O'Clock Tuesday evening. They
intre2ched themselves there while am
munition and provisions were brought
up from the rear and preparations
were made for the final deadly as
sault The entire line of fortresses
defending the eastern side of the city
was captured by the Bulgarians af-
ter most spectacular assault at the
point of the bayonet by long lines of
infantry, which were strengthened
rapidly by the second or reserve line.
The eastern forts soon fell into their
hands and Bulgarian batteries were
implaced in position to concentrate
their fire on the other works. The
way was thus cleared for direct as
sault on the city itself.

MEETS DEATH IN FLAMES
Mrs. Oscar Noyes Perishes In Her
Home at Greensboro.

st. Johnsbury, March 25.-Mrs.
Martha Moves, wife of Oscar Noyes,
was burned to death early this morn
ing in a fire that destroyed the Noyes
farm home in Greensboro. Her hus-
band escaped through a window and
was uninjured. The fire caught
around the stovepipe and was discov-
cred at 2.15 when Mr.. Noyes, who
slept in a room downstairs, was
awakened by the cracking of flames
to find the room filled with smoke.
Mrs Noyes was in a room upstairs
and the upper part of the house was
filled with smoke and flames. Mr..
Noyes was cut off from his wife and
from the telephone and so was I'M
able to give the alarm. Breaking the
window with chair he got out of
the house and ran to the nearest
neighbor for help. When help arriv-
ed the house was in flames and the
charred remains of Mrs Noyes were
found in the cellar where it is sup
posed they had fallen when the floors
collapsed. Mrs. Noyes was about 30
years old and the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Austin Fuller of Stannard

WILL BE INTERESTING TALK
Lecture by John 3. Burnham Here
Friday Evening.

The lecture by John B. Burnham,
President of the American Game
Protective and Propagation associa-
ton, which is to be given in the
court room of the county court
house on Friday evening, March 2S,
under the auspices of the Bennington
County Fish and Game club, promis-
es to be one of the most interesting
lectures ON out of door subjects
which has been heard in Bennington
in a long time. Mr.. Burnham was
one of the principal speakers at the
annual convention of the Vermont
State Fish and Game League in Bur
lington recently, and the Burlington
Free Press, in commenting upon his
address, said that it was along
lines which, with the illustrations,
gave every sportsman present an itch
ing TO get into the woods
THE game laws are among the
oldest and the newest made by man
kind" said Mr.. Burnham. They date
way back to Biblical times and are
strongly in evidence today. When
the country was first settled game
had been looked on as a nuisance
like the forests, on account of its
quantity, but the attitude has entire
ly changed now and it's conservation
is being looked after carefully by
thoughtful men. The advantages Of
the existence of game are many.
First, comes the food supply, which
is greater than is imagined by most
people. The proceeds from this
State from fish and game are far
greater than is suspected Next
there is the value of having on hand
a great army of excellent shots who
make the best soldiers in the world
and most important of all is the op-
portunty for recreation furnished to
race of hard working people.
Mr. Burnham then gave an inter
esting lecture on game birds and ami
mails The slides were from photo
graphs taken by the celebrated Lor-
ing and the method of obtaining
them is a mystery. While birds were
taken in the act of nesting, and ami
NAL life was pictured in manner
which told big story to the audi
ence. The pictures were so clear
that every mark of the grouse, wood
cock. partridge, etc, and all other
birds, was plainly shown.
The lecture is to be free to the
public and tickets may be obtained
of the Lecture Committee, H. p
Woodman, Collins NJ Graves and
Harry Southall and at Endress'
Cigar store.

VALUE OF VT. VALLEY r. Il.
State Asks Appeal Board to Increase
Il $4,t30,000

Montpelier, March 26.-Boston and
Maine cases occupied the attention
of the board of appeals on railroad
tax appraisals at the State House to-
day. The state asks that valua-
ton of $6,170,000 be placed upon the
Vermont Valley Railroad which
operates between Bellows Falls and
Bratteboro, a distance of "a miles.
Former Tax Commissioner Cushmans
appraisal of this property was $1,000
900. The state in asking for this in
crease in valuation claims that the
Vermont Valley owns 100000 of the
stock of the Connecticut and Passump
sic Rivers railroad worth $3.50 a
share; 100000 of the Massawippi
Valley railway at $685. 100000 of
Sullivan County railroad, worth $500
share; $79,2 of Montpelier and
Wells River railroad stock; $397,600
of Barre railroad and 81, 900 of the
stock of the Barre Branch railroad,
making a total of $9,24S,565 in securi-
ties of other roads The Vermont
Valleys capital stock is S1,000,000
and it has a bonded debt of $1,500,00
at four and onehalf per cent and
floating debt of $1,675,000 The road
pays a 10 per cent dividend and has
a surplus of $257. III according to the
testimony of State Treasurer Dea-
witt The state claims the Vermont
Valley is earning 10 per cent on its
capital stock.
The state asks for a valuation of
$7,000,000 on the Connecticut and
Passumpsic Rivers railroad. This
road is operated by the Boston and
Maine under a 99-year lease whereby
the Boston and Maine pays five per
cent on the stock of the leased road
for the first 10 years of the lease and
six per cent during the remainder of
the lease.
The Cushman appraisal of the Con-
necticut and Passumpsic was $5,299,-
725.
The valuation of the Connecticut
River railroad. about three-quarters
of mile of which is in Vermont,
south of Brattleboro, was set at $40,-
600 by Former Commissioner Cush-
man. The state asks for a valuation
of $1,321. The state would raise the
Cushman appraisal of $50S,000 on the
Fitchburg road to $1,6O0,000 No ex-
ception was taken by the state to the
Cushman APPRAISAL of $4,000 on the
Northern railroad which operates a
few rods of road at White River juno
ton between the station and the
bridge between Vermont and New
Hampshire. There was no dispute
on either side over the appraisal of
100000 on the St Johnsbury and
Lake Champlain.

TREMbLAy WINS IN
STRAIGHT FALLS
OVER 'G0TCH"
Champion Defeats Bennington
Grappler in Second Match
Hal MERLOCK DID IT
Canadians Powerful Arm and Hand
Too Much for Little
Englishman.

Eugene Tremblay of Montreal, the
champion lightweight wrestler OF the
world. won his second match from
young Gotch," the English cham
pion lightweight last evening. The
remarkable strength of the Canadian,
in body and arm, proved too much
for the slighter built grappler from
over the water.
By the agreement made by the
wrestlers, the toe hold was barred,
but the champion took the other
route, in which his powerful arms
and hands gave him the advantage,
the hammerlock. Both falls were Sc
cured with this wicked grip. with
which a wrestler may be even more
severely punished than with the toe
hold, combined with half nelson.
The first fall came at the end of AZ
minutes and the second after "a min
utes of fast work.
The match was held at the rooms
of the Canadian club at the corner OF
North and River streets and In the
audience were many spectators from
beyond the northern border, whose
sympathies were with the champion.
Time and again the Canadian appar-
emily had his man going toward the
mat and the fellow countrymen OF the
champion encouragement, but the lit
tie Englishman wiggled away.
While Tremblay was the aggressor
for the greater portion of the time,
particularly during the second bout,
there were occasions when he had to
put forth the best he had to keep his
shoulders off the canvass. Once, dur
ing the first bout, "Gotch" had the
champion in a scissors and an arm
hold and fall appeared to be newt
able, but Tremblay's bridged out OF
the grip.
Tremblay set the pace in the sec
ond bout. He kept putting his oppo-
nent down with leg holds and as
soon as the grapplers same to the mat
the Canadian began working around
the neck for the nelson and hammer
lock combination. When he got 1t
there was no getting away for
"Gotch" and the match came to an
end.
There was an interesting prelimi-
nary, two local lightweights, Victor
Noyes and Claire Honiker, going on
the mat for two ten minutes bouts.
In the second period Noyes secured
fall with body hold and won the
match

STRICKEN DISTRICTS CUT OFF
Area Devastated is Ohio's Richest
and Most Populous.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 26.-Draw
a line to the south and east from
Cleveland to Columbus, diverge
sharply to the west to Dayton and
then drop down to Cincinnati almost
directly south and you have covered
an area, the richest and most popu-
lous of the State, an area of devasta-
ton by flood and fire.
More than 5000 men and women
may be dead in the scores of large
cities and small towns along the Mi
ami, Sciota, Mad and other small
rivers tonight, but Cleveland cannot
obtain definite information. although
every possible resource that human
ingenuity can devise is being EN-
ployed.
A score of small towns may be in
flames: Cleveland has only rumors to
tell; the property loss may amount
to more than $4,000, 900. but no one
here can tell tonight, and there may
be hundreds and hundreds and thous
ands suffering for want of food
there are only fragmentary reports to
tell.
The great area which has been
transformed into a great theatre of
death is, so far as definite informa-
ton is concerned, as far away tonight
as European country. The tele-
graph wires are down and only an
occasional telephone wire can be
made to carry the human voice.
All railroads are out of commission
County roads, except those on the
highest ridges, are impossible for
anything except the sturdiest of slow
horses and certainly barred to auto
mobiles. II is absolutely impossible
to give any satisfactory definite esti-
mate Of what has been done
Gov. Cox OF Ohio, utilizing every
agency the State can command, can
not tonight tell the extent Of the
ravages Of the flood; the railroads
are equally poverless. and even
where there is faint, fragmentary
communication everything received
is inadequate and vague.

tened this afternoon, where it was re-
ported many relief trains bound to
Dayton from neighboring cities bad
been stopped by high water. Every
grover in the city had been sold out"
before noon. 1t was believed that the
relief trains might creep in during
the night.
Encouragement was received III a
message from the mayor of Spring
field tonight who said he was sending
six big trucks, loaded with provisions
that should reach Dayton early tomor-
row.
With the arrival of motor boats to-
night it was hoped to begin to distri-
butte provisions among the marooned
soon after daylight
Messages from the flood prisoners
in the business section said children
were crying for milk while. their eld-
ers suffered from thirst. Volunteers
were called for tonight to man boats
that will brave the dangerous cur
rents tomorrow in an attempt TO get
food to the suffering. A report that
the dam above the city threatened to
break added to the citys terror to-
in a food that will hold up rescue
night. If the dam breaks it will pour
work for days.
Reports that Fire Chief Randy lost
his life while attempting to reach a
floating house have not been confirm
ed
A telephone operator at Lineman,
Ohio, said that the Lewiston reser-
voir would not hold until daylight
Lineman is II miles from Lewiston
and is the nearest point in wire COM
munication thereto. Lewiston is 70
miles north of here. 1t is said that If
the dam breaks a worse flood than al
ready has come will result.

REVIVE STOCKING
INDUSTRY IN
BENNINGTON
Plan to Organize Company Of
Local Stockholders
BOARD OF TRADE WORKING
Special Meeting Held Last Night
and Soliciting Committee
Appointed.

At a special meeting of the Ben
nington Board of Trade Wednesday
evening plans were inaugurated for
the organization of stock company
through which it is hoped to revive
the hosiery industry in Bennington.
Ever since the plant of the Yer
mont Hosiery and Machinery COM
pany here was closed through differ
ences among the stockholders, Henry
l.. Field, the former president who
organized the company, has been en-
deavoring to re-establish the busi-
ness in some form. At first consid-
cradle time was devoted to a project
to purchase a controlling interest in
the Vermont Hosiery and Machinery
company, but after several months of
futile effort this plan has been aban-
doned
The new project advanced Wednes-
day evening is to form company of
local stockholders and start a new
business. Mr.. Field has had expert
ence in the hosiery business in Pen
nsylvania and it is proposed that the
new factory shall be equipped with
modern machines capable of higher
speed and larger production than
that of the former equipment.
At the meeting Wednesday evening
there was a large attendance of the
member of the board of trade and a
large amount of interest was mani
tested. William Ii. Nichols, Clar-
ence l.. Holden and John p. Morris
sey were appointed subscription
committee to canvass the stock for
the new company and they have al
ready started their campaign.
