ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

CINCINNATI, March 29-With tf1e towns on the Kentucky side of the Ohio river driven from their homes by the rising yellow tide sweeping down the Ohio valley and more than thirty-five hundred homes altogether or partly submerged, the flood situation in this vicinity is as- suming graver proportions hourly.
 An increase of the river stage will mean the isolation of this city from the Kentucky side and the stoppage of train service in this direction.
 Late today the government gauge showed sixty seven feet and still ris- ing. So far only one life has been lost as a direct result of the high

Col Alexander G. Hawes, Native of Bar
net, Died in Honolulu.

st. Johnsbury, Dec. "a cablegram
to a sister here announces the death in
Honolulu Saturday of Col. Alexander G.
Hawes of San Francisco in his Slst year

another Illinois regiment.
After the war Colonel Hawes went to

hemian club, a former commander of
the Loyal Legion of California and one

SNOW NO HANDICAP.
First Heavy Fall and Blizzard Did Not
Interfere

Yesterdays snowfall, the first of the
season, reached depth of nearly five
inches by night and was accompanied
latterly by heavy wind from the north
west. All day long the men at the
Consolidated Lighting Co.'S quarters
were on the alert for trouble, but there
was no interference with their service,
either to power or light patrons. That
a storm of rather uncommon severity
should fail to cause trouble is accounted
unusual by the power men, but care
full canvass OF the Tenney Co.'S power
plants and lines in central Vermont this
morning did not reveal single instance
of trouble
During the late afternoon and early
evening the storm assumed the pro-
portions of blizzard, but the train serv-
ice on both lines entering the city was
continued without interruption. Mails
arrived on time and trainmen on the
branch road of the Central Vermont said
that main line trains were proceeding on
schedule time.
Hardly sufficient snow fell to insure
good shedding and most of the concerns
that are engaged in heavy teaming will
stick to wheels until the second in
stallment of the l9l3-l0l4 crop arrives.
On the streets there are as many light
rigs travelling on runners as on wheels.
Lumber men in Orange and other wooded
towns nearby are waiting patiently for

FORMAL REQUEST
FOR A REPRIEVE
Arthur Bosworth's Attorneys Petition
Gov. Fletcher for stay of Exc
cution in Case of Murderer.

reprieve of Arthur Bosworth, a British
subject, now confined in the state prison
and sentenced to be hanged Jan. 2, 1914
has been sent to- Gov. Fletcher by the
prisoners attorneys. Frank H. Clark Of
Windsor and Roland Il. Stevens of White
River junction. 1t is expected early ae-
tion viii be taken
Besworth was convicted of the muir
der of May Labelle at Essex Junction in
May, 1911, and was sentenced to be
hanged at Windsor Jan "a, 1918. Dur
ing the trial it was brought out that
Bosworth was a degenerate and had al
ways been mentally deficient. Under the
law as it stood at the time of his CON
viction the legislature had the right to
commute sentence to life imprisonment,
and bill was introduced in 1912 to ac-
eomplish this by NJ. j. Hapgood of Peru.
Through a misunderstanding counsel for
Bosworth was not notified of the date of
the hearing and the legislature brought
in an adverse report.
Now the law is changed so that the
legislature cannot commute sentence of
death, and the petition Is brought TO
get a trial for BoswOrth before the leg
islature where he will be properly rep
resented, it being claimed that the pres
ent law is ex-post facto as far as it con-

FOUR GENERATIONS
UNDER ONE ROOF
They Are Living on Farm Which Has
Been in the Towle Family at South
Franklin for Over 80 Years.

| South Franklin, Dec. 9.--The state
press recently contained mention of a
| family in st. Johnsbury consisting OF
/ four generations, all living in one house.
Between so and 80 years ago, Jona-
than Towle, a carpenter and joiner re-
siding here, purchased tract OF wood
land and proceeded to clear the land and
build house. That house, kept in good
repair, now forms part OF the house be-
longing to his son, Edwin r. Towle, so
years old, who has always lived on the
farm, and three other generations, all
living under one roof and eating at the
same table.
The ther members of the family are
Mr.. Towle's son, Herman T.. Towle. and
his wife. Jennie S. Towle, and two of
their children, Arlan s., with his wife,
Berniee Whitney Towle, and Fred S.,
the youngest, now away at school. A
daughter, Maude s., now Mrs. Lauren III.
Pomeroy, lives at Asbury Park, ~ ].
The fourth generation OF the family has
two representatives, daughter and a
son of Mr., and Mrs. Arlan s. Towle, viz.
Helen and Baby Glenn. Mrs. Edwin r.
Towle died several years ago With four
generations of males living in the home
1t would seem that the farm might re-
main in the Towle family for an iudef-
mite time to come.
The little ones of the fourth genera.
tion are wonderfully favored with grand
parents and great grandparents, there
being four of the former, Mr. and Mrs.
II. L. Towle and Mr.. and Mrs. S. B.
Whitney, and three OF the latter, Edwin
r. Towle and Mrs. G. A. Stanley, all
living in the neghborhood, and James

CHURCH VOTES FOR ORGAN.
Barre Presbyterians Secure Instrument
From Burlington Church.

A congregational meeting of the First
Presbyterian church was held in the
vestry of the church last evening and by
a unanimous vote it was decided to pur-
chase the pipe organ recently in use at
st. Paul's Episcopal church in Burling-
ton. The decision was reached after an
energetic campaign for funds which has
been in progress since the Burlington
church first offered to sell its pipe organ
several weeks ago. Before the organ
can be installed several alterations must
be made to the interior of the church
and small annex must be built against
the south end of the edifce. Some lit
tie time must elapse before these changes
can be safely made and week or two
will be required to put the organ in posi-
tion. The vestry of st. PauPs church
was notified of the vote to purchase to-
day.
With the organ in place, the oppor-
tunity for rendering church music, re-
citals, etc. at the Presbyterian church
will be greatly increased. As the organ
was built into the church in Burlington
at an original cost of S4,300, members of
the local church may consider themselves
fortunate in being able to purchase it
Tor $500. At st. Paul's church the old
organ is replaced by memorial organ
recently given the parish by a Burlng
ton woman. Thus far the Barre church
has 800 in hand. An additional $500
must be secured TO defray the expenses
of transportation, installing and altera-
tions to the building. 1t is hoped to
have the organ in place soon after New
Years. Prof Guy ~ Hull, organist at
st. Paul's, will be asked to come to
Barre and give recital sometime in
January.
