LAYING FOUNDATIONS
FOR UNION STATIC
Steel Not Due to Arrive for Several
Weelxs-Disposition of Spring
Water Not Decided Upon.

The preliminary work on the founda-
tions for the new railroad passenger
station is proceeding steadily and as
rapidly as is necessary to be ready for
the steel. The steel mill is under CON
tract to have the order for that
product ready in eight weeks from the
time the contract was signed under
penalty of so forfeit for each day of
delay, which means that in little less
than seven weeks the shipments will
begin to arrive. From that time on
work will be rushed.
Some of the forms in which concrete
foundations were laid have been re-
moved already and others are being fill
ed. The fact that the Central Vermont
railroad has not officially notified the
contractors, the II. Wales Lines Co, of
their decision as to the disposition of
the water from the spring, is holding
up little Of the concrete work.
Mr.. Bean, superintendent of con
struction, said this morning that the
water could easily be turned into a
drain and carried into the river or used
in the operation of the elevator and
that it was fine, cold water.
The work of construction is not Sc
riously handicapped by the presence OF
the spring at present and a pump is
occasionally worked to keep the water
down to a level where it does not in
tcrfere with the progress of the work
/ w. l.. Jordan, mason foreman, is
moving his family here from Whitman
tic, Conn, as he will be here fol
months in charge of the work of laying
! the foundations and the walls

GETS BIG WAR ORDER.
American WOODEN Mills to Make Army
Blankets at Winooski.

BURLINGTON, August 17-Burling-
ton and Winooski are feeling the eff
fects of the European war in the impe-
tus given to at least two industries. A
few weeks ago the Hicl1ok Lumber
company received a large contract from
the Russian government to supply it
with shrapnel and cartridge boxes, an
order that will keep the mills going
well into the winter with almost double
force on full time.
The American Woolen company has
just received large contract for ar
my blankets. The mills at Winooski
are not only working full day capac-
ity, but a big force have been sum
moned for night duty. Fully 1900
hands will have plenty of work in these
mills for many months and business
generally will be greatly improved in
consequence.

FRANK LYNCHED
BY GEORGIA MOB
Carried 100 Miles from MIedgeviIIe State Farm
And Hanged to Tree Almost in Sight of the
Former Home of Mary Phagan, Whom He Was
Accused of Numbering.

MARIETTA, Ga, August 17-Leo NJ.

Of Mary Phagan, who was taken from the
prison farm at NIiledgeville last night, was
lynched two miles east Of here today by
the armed party which took him lie

in prison trousers and shirt, was found
at $50 this morning. 1t is believed he
was lynched about daylight
Several automobiles well loaded left
here in the direction of Milledgeville last
night After the return of some of the
machines today officers started out on the
road which they believed the automobiles
had travelled
They had gone only two miles when they
saw the body of Frank not more than $50
yards from the roadside

hundreds of persons We're crowding to the
scene. No immediate effort was made to
cut the body down, as Sheriff Hicks was
not in town and the coroner took no ac-
ton. 1t is believed that the stop at the
bridge over Little river near Eatonton,
which was reported last night, during
which the armed party talked loudly and
fired shots, was a ruse to delay pursuers.
The vicinity Of the bridge was thoroughly
searched and at the time the search was
being made it IS probable Frank already
had met death.
Franks body was cut down at 1O1J
clock, but not until one of the number
had spoken to the crowd, advocating
mutilation of the body.
Newton Morris. Immediately pleaded
with the crowd to allow an inquest to
take its proper course. vote was sug-
gested and taken It was overwhelmingly
in favor of allowing the coroner to take
charge of the body
It was then cut down and the two-mile
trip to Marietta started. The inquest was
set for IL o'clock.

MILLEDGEVTLLE, Ga, August II
A well-organized party of armed men who
came in five automobiles attacked the
Georgia state penitentiary here last night,
took Leo NJ. Frank from a dormitory and
escaped with him. For hours after the
attack no trace of the automobiles bear
ing the party could be found, but at about
daylight newspaper men picked up the
trail at point on Little river near
Eatonton.
The armed men arrived in the vicinity
