SURGEONS KNIFE
RESTORES SIGHT
Mrs. Della LovieIette of Montpelier
Able to See After 10 Years of
Blindness.

MONTPELIER, Nov. 8. - AS the
result of an operation performed three
weeks ago by DIR. E. G. Sprague of
Barre, assisted by Dr.. J. r. Grimes
of this city, for the removal of cata-
ract from the left eye, Mrs. Della Low
ielette of Montpelier, who is "A years
old, has regained her vision after nine
years of total blindness.
Nearly 10 years ago Mrs. Lovielette
submitted to operations for removal Of
cataracts from each eve and although
the operations were successful, in the
removal of the growths, her ewes were
ruptured and since that time the woman
had been blind.
Recently her son visited DIR. Spraoue
in Barre and described his mother s
condition and an operation was per
formed at her home. Ten days ago the
bandages were removed and to the
amazement and the delight of the wo-
man her sight had been restored so
that she could see the physicians and
objects lin the room. Her condition is
improving daily and the return of her
sight has made her to all appearances
10 years younger.

BODY FOUND IN RIVER,
Frank Balicki of Chicopee Was Muir

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Nov. S.
Frank Balicki of 6S School street. Chic
opee, was found dead in the Connecti-
cut river near the foot of Washburn
street about 1145 o'clock yesterday
morning. An abrasion over the right
eye and numerous marks about the legs
led the police to believe that the man
was murdered and thrown into the riv-
er to cover the crime This theory
was strengthened by the autopsy.
which showed beyond question Of
doubt that death had come before the
body was thrown into the water The
man was about IS years old and was
employed as a teamster at Smith s

PULP MILL AT WILMINGTON.
Ground Broken for Structure to Give
Employment to so Hands.

Ground has been broken for a 80
ton pulp mill at Mountain Mills for the
Deerfeld Pulp Co., which, when com
pleted, will give employment to about
80 men. There will also be needed as
woods crew probably 100 men over the
number regularly employed by the
Mountain Mills firm.
The new structure will be of con
crete and iron and with the exception
of the foundation and a few other
small jobs, will be built by the owners.

CONSOLIDATED

At the opening on the Consolidated
Stock Exchange yesterday the market
broke throughout. but after the first
heavy selling movement had spent its
force prices rallied sharply. Much ner-
yousness. however. continued to prevail.
In the early afternoon there was another
sinking spell. when IL was reported that
the White star liner Bowie had been
torpedoed by a German submarine.
At the close the market was quite
firm, a favorable influence being exerted
by reports that the Arabic had been
conveyed by British war vessels. which
would make for its removal as a cause
for fresh friction between the United
States and Germany.
A few stocks displayed exceptional
strength. Among them were Tennessee
Copper, Anaconda, Utah Copper and Chi
cago. Rock Island and Pacific. The
low quotations reached on the CONSOLE
dated on the opening break were in a
number of important instances well
above the low figures touched on the
New York Stock Exchange. The most
prominent instance In point was United
States Steel common. which sold on the
other board as low as -, but did not
get under 72a. on the Consolidate on
the initial decline, although In the early
afternoon It touched 1854.

THE COPPER MARKET.

Marking time was the order in the
