The Enterprise started out to sea last and all four vessels were ar the mer- cIes of 3, stiff gale and a heavy sea Signals of distress were sent up, but were apparently not seen.
 The Gimores crew of five finally abandoned the boat, and made shore in safety in rowboat, after the small craft had been nearly swarnred in the sea. A pet dog that had been left behind swam ashore in safety.
 Captain Joe" Smith, keeper of the Duck Island light, was notified and he rendered what assistance he could. Word was sent to the Scott wrecking company at New London and Ehe Tasco steamed in off the brealSwater this morning. The Gilmore was then being pounded against the rocks and was leaking badly. Before the Tasco had time to do anything of conse- quence the lighter turned turtle and sank. The other two lighters were toWed to Duck Island and the Enter prise was later lowed to New London for repairs.

Funeral of ex-Senator Cu1iona AL

Springfield, JH, Feb. 1.-At sunset tonight the body of Shelby M, Cullom, former United States senator, was lowered into it's grave in the family lot at OakEidge cemetery. It rests be- tween the graves of his two wives, .Hahnah and Julia Fisher, who were sisters, and in ths same plot of ground with the resting places of their five chiIdFeD.
 Funeral services were held in the baIl of repEeseata&iNAsf in the state house, where the InaRleFial sermon was preached by the Rev. Duncan c. Mac Leod, and eulogdsS were delivered by Governor Dunne, Senator Lawrence Y, Sherman and Clinton l.. Colkling, from the same reStruEn from which MT. Cul- lo1n five times addressed legislatures which elected him to the upper house at Washington.
 With Governor DF1nne among the speakers, and former Governors Fifer. Yates and Deneen present, the audi ence included all of the governors now living who followed Mir. Cullom in the gubefnatoFia1 chair.
 The predominant strain of the eu1e- gies was the unassu1ning honesty and staSdfaStness of the decedent.

 OF TELEPHONE RATES Briefs Filed in Vermont by New Eng
 land Telephone Company,

BEataea,eFe Vt, Feb. 1.-Briefs just filed by counsel for the New England Telephone and Telegraph company will enable the public service co4nmis- sion to proceed with consideration of the question of establishing new teie- phone rates. Counsel for the state will not file a. brief nor will either side make oral arguments. It is ex- peeted that the commission will ren- der decision by March 1.
 The movement for a rate revision was begun last summer when Governor Fletcher appointed a special commit tee of investigation. As the public service commission at that time de- cIined to consider the report of the committee. the governor reorgan1zed the commission,
 In the brief. which is an unusually long one, the New England company declares that any reduction in rates would be unjust and confiscatoTy, that no evidence has been taken to show that the rates are unreasonable and that the proposed schedule would wipe out the present margin of profit of the five cempaaies doing business in the state

Baltimore Feb. 1-The steamer Nan tucket, which was in collision with the steamer Monroe Friday morning, docked here today. In d written re- port to the officials of the Merchants and Miners Transportation company Captain Berry said that while the Nantucket was on her usual course fog signals of a vessel, afterWard found to be the Monroe, were reported ahead. The fog was low-lying and at times clearer than others. The foS signal of the Monroe was again, heard and this time on the Nantucket's port bow.
 The next whistles heard from the Monroe were two blasts which in0i- cated that the Monroe was trying to pass the Nantucket starboard con- trary to the rule.
 Tn an endeavor to avoid a collision with the Monroe the Nantucket's helm was hard-a- ported to keep to the right, but the Monroe proceeded at full speed and tried to cross the bow of the Nantucket She succeeded in get ting partly past the bow of the Nan buckets stern when the vessels cOliid- ed, the Nantucket's stem striking the Monroe's starboard bow forward of the pilot house at right angles
 Nantucket's Engines at Full Speed.
 The Monroe passed under such great speed, according to Captain Berry's report that the stem of the Nantuck- et.was bent sharply toward her star board side and the Nantucket slowed around so that her port side was scraped by the Monroe crushing. one of the Nantucket's port boats. The Monroe passed on out of sight.
 At the time of the collision the Nan tucket's engines were running at full speed aS3ern and had been so running for some time previous to the collision.
 Aided m Rescue.
 Ca/ain Berry's report continues as follows:
 The Nantucket appeared seriously injured but was manouib ed to aid in the work of rescue, continually using i tTer5s searchIight. Wireless communi- cation was established and several vessels offered, the first to arrive be- ing the Hamilton which conveyed the Nantucket to Norfolk.
 The relief squad attending the pas sengers was increased by those who could be spared from attention to the safety of the Nantucket and under. careful attention those suffering from the cold were revived with the eXcep- ton of one man who after d great eff fort. could not be revived, and also Mrs. Harrington. who died after she had been assigned to a stateroom with her husband and all possible care and attention given her.
 Lives Saved by Prompt Work.
 Tt can be established that the stew ard, steWardess and chief engineer worked necessarily in an effort to aid and revive Mrs. Harrington. There was no attack made by Mir. Harring- ton on anyone and there is no founda- tion for this report. After her death her body was carried to Norfolk and wireless instructions were given in ad- vance to take care of it.
 Many of the passengers of the Monroe received on board the Nam tucket would have died had tbey not been resuscitated by the vigorous, prompt and successful work of those
