TWO FIRES IN MONTPELIER.
Putnam Street House Damaged and
Powder House Blown Up.

The Montpelier department was called
out this morning about 80 for fire
in the house on Putnam street owned
by James Matthew Doyle. which is a
lodging horse in the rear of the Doyle
residence. The blaze started on the sec
ond floor in a room temporarily unoccu-
pied. and is supposed to have been
caused by q cigarette stub. The de-
partment had a hard time fighting the
flames as they broke through the roof
and worked in the partitions The loss
is estimated at $1,000.
About o'clock last evening, the old
powder house, in the ravine back of
Montpelier seminary, blew up, three ex-
plosions shaking up things considerably
and frightening many people. The
building was used by Wheelock & Daw-
ley as a storehouse for their stock of
gmpowder, and they are unable to tell
just how much was stored or how great
their loss will be- No buildings were
near by. so the fire department had
nothing todo, although one team went up
and the hremen remained for time to
see that no further damage resulted,
How the fire started is not known, but
there is suspicion that small boys, who
patronize a swimming hole not far away,
could explain if located, for it is thought
they set fire to the grass and it erept to
the buildings. Had anyone been pass
ing at the time OF the accident they
would perhaps have been seriously in
iured.

County Court

Chelsea, June 26.-Recaredo Gomez
was found guilty in Orange county court
yesterday afternoon of assaulting with
intent to kill Emelio Fernandez at Will
Jamestown a few weeks ago. Pending
appeal of the case TO supreme court
bail was fixed at $1,000, which the re-
spondent hopes to secure before the ris-
ing of the court for the present term.
Fernandez went on the stand Wednes-
day and although he is still weak from
the bullet wound he stood the ordeal of
rigid cross-examination by Attorney
Hoar for the respondent very well, be-
ing permitted to withdraw from the
court house for a few minutes walk in
the fresh air in company with an Off
Ger and a physician His examination,
direct and cross, was made through an
Interpreter as he did not seem to under
stand Attorney Hoar's rapid fire of ques-
tions in English sufficiently well to en-
BILE him to answer.
At the conclusion of his testimony the
state rested its case, when Mr.. Hoar
put in the evidence of the defence which
was short. Only few witnesses were
used. chief among which was the re-
spondcnt who, though his testimony in
direct and cross was given through an
interpreter, acquitted himself unusually
we'll for person in so trying a moment.
He freely admitted the shooting. but
claimed that it was an accident and that
he never had. nor entertained an intent
to shoot Fernandez and was taken COM
pletely by surprise to learn a few min
utes after the affray that he had shot
him. He gave as the reason for his run.
ming away after the accident that he
was threatened violence BY the injured
mans relatives if he didn't @get ont Of

given to the jury and at three O'Clock
they returned TO the court room and
rendered through their foreman, g. H.
Bigelow of Washington verdict of
guilty. and Judgment was ordered on the

"The tonnage on the Barre railroat

at is difficult for us to get cars enough
for our foreign shipments and we are
also very short of coal. You can see
the coal men and they will tell YOU
the same; and at the same time the
Pennsylvania railroad has been taking
off some of its trains and now we can

Williamstown, June 26-Mrs. William
Briggs, bride of only two days, was
seriously injured late yesterday when a
colt which her husband was driving from
Chelsea to his farm on the road to this
village backed over bridge to the rocky
bed of a brook 10 feet down. She sus-
tanned internal injuries and was bruised
and cut about the head and shoulders,
although no bones were broken. Mr..
Briggs was scarcely injured at all.
Mr.. and Mrs. Briggs We're married at

animal home while at the same time he
was leading his other horse. When they
had reached a point near the b. Corliss
place, the colt became unruly Just as
they Were driving over a bridge and be-
gan to back
In spite of the efforts of the driver,
the animal succeeded in backing the ve-
hicle, an open buggy, over the edge OF
the bridge and was then pulled over, too.
The wagon, the two occupants and the
colt landed in the bed OF the brook, Mrs.
Briggs being rendered unconscious by the
fall while Mr. Briggs landed so that he
was not injured. He at once carried his
wife to a safe place. and after caring
for her turned his attention to extri-
eating the colt, which lay on its back
in the water, unable to move and in dam
ger of drowning.
Being unable to get the colt up Mr.
Briggs mounted the other horse and rode
to the house of Mr. Merchant. a veter
nary, a short distance away, where as

they found the horse with its nose Just
out of the water and by prompt WORK

RAILROAD PETITION
FOR EXEMPTION
From Provision of the Vermont Stat
utes Rrequiring Examination of
Grade Crossing on Their Lines
This Year.

Rutland, June 26.-Maintaining that
they are being operated at loss,
and that the matter is not really vital,
several Vermont railroads through coun-
sci yesterday appeared before the Ver-
mont Public Service commission at the
Barwell hotel and asked that they be
excused this year from eliminating any
grade crossings on their lines. Under
the statutes each Vermont railroad is
expected to eliminate at least one grade
crossing each year, and some are re-
quired to abolish more. 1t is within
the province of the Public Service com
mission to excuse the roads from the
duty, If the commission sees fit.
The roads are the Clarendon and
Pittsford, the Bristol, the Manchester,
Dorset, and Granville, and the st. Johns
bury and Lake Champlain roads. All
the members Of the commission were
present at the hearing on the petition
yesterday morning. They are Robert
C. Bacon of Brattleboro chairman, Will
liam r. Warner of Nergennes, Park II.
Pollard of ProctorsyiIle, besides the
clerk, Neil D. Glawson of Brattleboro.
Harry Blodgett of st. Johnsbury and
Assistant Superintendent Mayo OF the
st. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain road
represented that petitioner; Sherman
Moulton of Burlington acted for the
Bristol and f, W, Lawrence OF this city
for the Clarendon and Pittsford and the
Manchester, Dorset and Granville.
States Attorney b. L. Stafford appeared
for the state. The matter was taken
under advisement by the commission.
The roads say their trains are not OPP
Grated at q higher rate Of speed than
20 miles an hour, and that there is no
danger of accidents.

To-day

Rutland. June 26. The largest forest
fire in Rutland county in many years
is in progress in the mountains east OF
Dandy. The state forestry department
has been appealed to. 1t is believed the
fire was started by lightning Wednesday
night in the woods on Mount Tabor. Al
ready ten square miles have been burned
over and the fire is spreading in all di-
rections.
AS yet the flames are confined to the
woodlands in second growth timber,
owned largely by the Emporium Lum-
bering company of Dandy, but the loss
has already amounted to several thous-
and dollars damage to pulpwood.
About 400 men are fighting the fire
to-day and the lumber company and
marble mills have shut down in order to
send men to the woods Unless checked
soon, several townships will be burned
over.

to crack open the door OF way freight

decamp with some two dozens of bottled
beer. The break and the beer theft were
discovered by Officer John w. Dineen in
