FINDS EXTRA COST.
Montpelier Will Have to Build New
Abutments to State st. Bridge.

For the purpose of considering an offer
from Contractor James Il. eastman re.
lating to extra work being done on the
new State street bridge, a special meet
ing Of the Montpelier city council was
held last evening.
When the contract was made for the
erection OF steel and cement bridge
for $4,000 il was the belief of the coun-
Gil, founded on reports made by the city
engineer and other engineers, that the
old abutments would not have TO be re-
placed. When the actual work was COM
menced it was found that new cement
abutments would be advisable and Con-
tractor eastman was instructed to do
the work and a separate contract was
made, allowing the contractor actual ex-
penses aud Is per cent additional.
At last evenings session Engineer Reed
brought up the matter of new prop
osition made by the contractor, who
would make the contract void and agree
10 do the extra work for $3.50 square
yard. The matter was discussed at
length and the council seemed to be
united in feeling that the price was too
high and il would be better to have the
work done according to the contract
made. City Clerk Merrill was instructed
10 notify Mr.. eastman OF the councils
decision. just how much the extra work
win cost is not known, but il will be
several thousand dollars more than ig.
ured in the $4,000 contract, in all prob
ability.
BY vote Of four TO two il. was decid.
ed TO grant the use Of the city hall audi
torium TO the Vermont Poultry associa
tion for the annual show for three days
in December for the sum of SIS. The
iates asked for are Dec. 27 to 20, inclu.
live, and the poultry association would
be given a day and half 10 move the
birds in and out OF the hall. Aldermen
Premier and Ryan voted against the &C.
ion taken.

RUMANIA STIRRED UP.
Violent Campaign Over That Country's
Participation in the War.

London, Oct. 2l.Dispatches from Blu
charest indicate that violent campaign
il being waged in Rumania over the
question of that country's intervention
in the war. One of the Bucharest oppo.
sition newspapers, according to the dis
patches, has gone so far as to threaten
the king with popular rising.
Much Indignation has been caused in
Rumania by the action of the Austrian
minister of justice, who was returning
chael Cantacuzene, former Rumanian
minister of justice who was returning
to Bucharest from Paris, whose arrest,
it is alleged, was due to the finding of
a letter in his possession addressed to
M. Filipesco, leader of the conservative
party in Rumania.

BRILLIANT RESULT
FOR ITALIAN ARMS
Stormed Palon Peak, Commanding Mouth
of Daone Valley, and Captured
Two Austrian Trenches.

Rome, Wednesday, via Paris, Thurs
day, Oct. 2l.--An official statement fror
army headquarters says;
sour offensive in the Tyrol and
Trentino regions continued with bril-
liant results through the day of the
10Th In the Giudicaria valley we
stormed Palon peak, northeast OF
Condino, commanding the mouth OF
the Daone valley and the head of
Ledro valley, and, provided with two
lines Of trenches, some which were
followed out of rock, we made so
prisoners and the rest of the garri-
son fed.
"In the Lagarina valley we COM
pleted our action of the 18th by con-
quering the heights north and north
east of Brassano, also defended by
many strong entrenchements.
SIN the Fella valley, the enemy
repeatedly attacked our advance po-
sitions, but were driven back each
time.
Yesterday, one of our aeroplane
squadrons made a fresh raid on the
enemy's aviation camp at Aesovzza,
throwing numerous bombs with
visibly excellent effect. Our squad
ron was subjected to the fire of many
enemy batteries, but returned in
tact"

BOY KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.
Clayton Parmelee, "a, Found Dead in St
Albans.

st. Albans, Oct. 2l.--Clayton Parme-
lee. the l4-year old son OF Alderman and
Mrs. Abner A. Parmelee of Gilman ave-
nue.. was found dead between $3.50 and
seven o'clock last evening lying near an
electric light pole on the corner of Smith
and Congress streets. Health Officer Ar
were summoned and the body was TAX
en- to the undertaking rooms of r. H.
Macorney.
The theory is that he may have been
electrocuted, as burns were found on
both hands.
Young Parmelee was a newsboy and
was delivering his papers, and about
half an hour before his body was found
he had left papers in the vicinity.
AT the point where, the body was
found, IL is understood that wires are
carried underground through a conduit,
and that wires enter an iron pipe on the
pole about eight feet from the ground.
II is thought that the boy may have
caught hold of this pipe as he swung
around the corner.
Besides his parents, he is survived by
four brother, one, BsrAiey Parmeiee, at.
tending the University Of Vermont, and
one sister. His mother is in serious
as the result Of the death.
