Completing the Circuit.

Charles c. Walker, aged 80 years, OF
Rutland, a general electrician in the en-
ploy of the Burlington city electric light
department for the last 10 weeks. met a
sudden and tragic death shortly before
noon Saturday in the city power station
on the lake front. Mr.. Walker was en-
gagged in testing one of the underground
wires which run from tho power station
under the railroad tracks, and had the
wire in his hands, when his shoulder came
IN contact with the large station SWITCH
board near which he was working, thus
forming circuit through which 300 volts
of electricity shot. The noise made by his
lifeless body crashing to the floor attract
ed his fellow workmen, who Immediately
shut off the electric current and dragged
him from his dangerous position The
workmen used every means to induce arti-
fetal respiration, and a hurry call was
sent for DR. c. a. Pease and another for
the police ambulance which at once re-
spondcd with the pumotor. Heroic and
prolonged efforts were made to revive
Mr. Walker but without result and the
body was taken to the undertaking
rooms of Frank j. Dwyer. Superntend-
ent l.. r. MacBroom Of the city light de-
partment said that Mr.. Walker was an ex-
perienced electrician and was considered
an expert on underground work The
body was taken Saturday night to Mr..
Walkers late home in Rutland,
where he is survived by wife and five
children. The funeral was held there

short time Friday afternoon. In this
suit, the plaintiff sought to recover $50
which ne alleged the defendant owed him
as cash balance on the sale OF his

cash. but was to be used to pay some
outstanding bills against the farm and
remit any balance to the plaintiff The
defendant claimed that he had paid bills

SATURDAYS FIRES.
Barn md Contents on Ethan Allen
Farm Destroyed-DOck Ablaze.

A fire which did damage to the amount
of about 1850 burned large barn and
its entire contents on the old Ethan Allen
farm, now owned by F. II. Brown OF
this city, to the ground Saturday after
noon. While it is not certain just how
the fire was started 1t is believed that
1t was set by some young boy hunters
who were seen in it a short time pre-
vious to the blaze
The fire was discovered by John
Lavallee, who lives on the farm. at about
two o'clock, and at that time it had
reached such Roadway that it was inn
possible to attempt to save any of the
contents. The automobile fire truck and
Chief Stockwell in his car went to the
farm but on account of there being
lack of water the men were unable to do
anything. The fire had burned long
enough so that at about the time the
fell in. Much of the loss of the fire was
the produce which had been stored In the
barn There was the harvest of oats and
barley from 30 acres of land. % bushels
of beans which had been threshed and
were in sacks, 10 tons of hay, threshing
machine and a gasolene engine. This Is
the second barn to burn on the historic
farm in less than TWO years. The barn
which the fire DESTROYED was not near

ARMY OF COAL MINERS.
Greater Number Employed Last Year
Than Ever Before.

A greater number of men were en-
ployed In the coal-mring industry in the
United States in 1914 than ever before.
According to c. L. Lesher of the United
States geological survey the total number
OF employees in both anthracite and btu
minous mines for the first time exceeded
three-quarters Of million. This record
was made without sacrifice Of efficiency.
for although the average number of days
worked in the bituminous mines was the
smallest since 1896. except only 1905. and
the average output per man for the year
was the lowest In five years, the averaG"
daily production by each employee In
1914 was the highest on record in btu
minous coal mining. This record Is to
be attributed not much to the better
character Of the labor as to improved
mining methods and the increased appli-
cation Of scientific MANAGEMENT.
The number Of men employed in the
coal mines Of the United states In 1914
was 763, lS5, of which number 1883 were
engaged in mining anthracite and 5S35to
in mining bituminous coal and ignite.
The average number of days of employ
ment of each man was 2D7 for the United
States 1876 for bituminous and Ignite, and
o45 for anthracite. In the btuminous
mines the yearly average decreased from
S37 tons in 1918 to IA tons In 1911 The
daily average increased from 36l to 81
tons. The average time made at the an
thracite mines in 1914 was exceeded only
by the records of 1911 Gag days) and 1913
257 days.. The average yearly produc-
ton Of anthracite by each employee de-
crea sed from 800 short tons in 1918 to
5n6 tons in 1914 owing to the fewer days
worked. The daily output per man was
