Appeal for Help From Worthy Institution
There are now in tho West
Kentucky Orphans Home, at
Hopkinsville, eighteen dependent
children. These are little boys
and girls ranging from two to
twelve years of age. This insti-
tuition is doing a noble work and
is sorely pressed, in addition to
the other necessary expenses of
the Home, 70 feed and clothe
these little charges. Donations
of out-grown clothing would be a
great relief to the Home, aud
many of our readers would no
doubt gladly join in with others
shipping at once a supply of such
clothing, especially for boys from
three to eight years of age.
We commend this to the good
christian women of our town.

VOL. LxxvI. No. 5l-wHoLE NO. 1867

At the Portland street crossing
quite a slice of the bank was carried
away leaving about two feet of some
of the ties hanging in space. From
this point to the more serious wash
out there were numerous places
where the ties were wholly expos
ed.
Considerable damage was done
near the switch shanty at the lower
end of the yard. In one place the
road bed of the main road and side
tracks was undermined to a depth
of about eight feet and to a depth
of two or three feet in as many as
half a dozen places.
On the st. J. and L. c., road there
was a washout back of Fairbanks
village which delayed the noon train
several hours.
Damage to Highways and Streets
The highway on Higgins Hill was
made impossible by washouts and
the road leading on to Grow Hill
was quilted out several feet deep.
1t was impossible to get through
the underpass at the foot of the hill

DAMAGE BY SHOWER
Big WashOuts on the Railroads and
Streets and Sidewalks Badly
Damaged-Barn Burned

One of the worst showers in years
visited st. Johnsbury and vicinity
Monday forenoon and did a large
amount of damage to the streets
and sidewalks, highways and the
railroad, and lightning destroyed
the barn and granary on the F..
H. Shepherd place in Waterford.
Old residents say the storm was the
most destructive for the time it last
ed that they remember. 1t began
raining before nine o'clock and
poured down so fast that natural
waterways could not care for it,
Tie water gathered in every depres-
sion and it's weight would break
through barrier and the escaping
water tear great gullies on what had
always been considered dry land.
Damage to Railroads
The most serious washout was
near East Barnet, where the Water
Andrick empties into the Passump-
sic. From IL to Is rods of the
railroad was washed out, the gully
being from 10 to 1 5 feet deep. The
highway was washed out at each
end of the cement highway culvert
and the meadow OF Charles Harvey
badly flooded. At Passumpsic
about 40 feet of the railroad track
was washed out and the tracks in
the yards at st. Johnsbury were
blocked by washouts. The 1898
train go to the station all right,
but could not proceed north on ac-
count of the tracks being buried at
Portland street crossing.
~,
few rods beyond Elm street, there
was a washout, which appeared to
be quite serious. The track, which
runs about 10 feet above the sur
rounding country, was entirely un-
dermined for a distance of 10 or
Is feet. A great amount of water
had collected on one of the gardens
and in trying to escape tore through
the railroad embankment and onto
a garden on the opposite side of
the track.

KENTUCKY TO USE
CONVICT LABOR

WASHINGTON. Dec. (spe-
ciaD The movement for placing con-
victs on the roads received fresh
impetus last month, when a constitu-
tional amendment was passed In
Kentucky, permitting the use Of pris-
oners upon the public highways
Previous to this all Kentucky pris-
oners were employed within the
walls Of the institution under the
contract system. but pending the
passage of the amendment, the pris-
contract soon to expire. so that con-
victs will be available for road work
as soon as the necessary legislation
can be enacted.
Plans for drafting such legislation
are well under way. the chairman Of
the legislative council of the Ken
lucky Federation of Labor. Peter
Campbell Of Louisville, being partic-
ularly active In this direction. Mr..
Campbell Is also a member Of the
executive committee Of the national
committee on prison labor. which or
ganization Is working in close COOP
GRAFTON with him in preparing this
road legislation.
The fact that convict road work
is so enthusiastically supported by
the labor organizations Of Kentucky
Is of special interest Ever since the
organization of labor unions, their eff.
forts have been directed against the
unfair competition caused by placing
convict-made goods on the open mar
ket, and. In consequence, the unions
have been unfairly charged with be.
ing opposed to all labor on the part
of the convicts. Their present activ'
ity in Kentucky Is a direct refutatior
of this charge. and points still fur.
ther to road work as a solution OF
the convict labor problem.
Legislation for convict road work
will not be confined to Kentucky, as
new states are constantly taking uI
the problem and considering the ad.
visibility OF outdoor work for theil
convicts During the past week, re.
quests for assistance in preparing
such legislation have been received
by the national committee on prison
labor from legislators of both Maine
and Vermont. Neither OF these states
has convict road work at present, and
interesting Developments are antici.
