LOST s3e4 IN BILLS.
o. !. Gregware Met with Misfortune
While Riding Bicycle.

While riding bicycle between Emslie' ;
greenhouse and Barre this morning, o. l.
Gregware had the misfortune to lose 1894
in bills, together with a receipt book and
two letters addressed to himself. He
thinks that he lost the package out of
side pocket of his coat when he pedaled
out to pass an automobile and struck a
muddy spot, which caused his wheel to
skid and himself to lose his balance. To
save himself from a fall, he thrust one
hand against a bank and partially went
off his wheel He remounted and con-
tinued his ride to this city, not thinking
of the valuable package he had been
carving until he reached this city.
On learning Of his loss he immediately
started back and searched the read care.
fully and, failing TO find the package
went over the route once again with no
result. This afternoon he went again
and in the grass about 100 yards from
the spot where he thinks he lost the
package he found the receipt book and
the two letters but no trace of the mon
ey or the envelope in which il was con-
tanned. Mr.. Gregware is still hoping
that the money found its way into an
honest persons hands. He is not able
10 stand a loss like that and will give
the finder 500 for the return OF the
money.
The money was enclosed in long en-
Velope that was addressed TO Guy w.
Bailey. Essex Junction, and was in four
lots. each surrounded with a rubber band.
One lot contained 5000 in $40 bills, an
other 500 in 500 bills, third 500 in
two SEQ bills and ten S. bills, and the
last lot four 81 bills. The receipt book
bore Mr.. Gregware's name, as did the
two letters. Mr.. Gregware is a carpen'
ter. residing at les Hill street, and was
planning TO use the money 10 pay for
some lumber.

PRESIDENT WILSON
FOUND PEOPLE
UNDER AUTO
Norwich Motorists Had Been Wrecked
and the President Assisted in Car
ing for Them.

Cornish, n. H., Aug. l0,-President
Wilson yesterday spent several hours on
official business received at the summer
White House" from Washington. lie
worked in his study until late hour,
the Mexican situation claiming his chief
attention. He also was in communica-
ton with Secretary of State Lansing
and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
He is planning to return to Washington
within the next few days.
In the afternoon the president took
an automobile ride and during his trip
went to the assistance of three automo-
bilists whose machine had run over an
embankment.
The president was automobiling with
DR.. Cary T.. Grayson, the naval aide and
physician. on the road between Windsor,
vt. and Ascutneyvile, Vt. Mr.. Wilson
ordered his automobile stopped and he
and DIR. Grayson found G. c. Judd, Miss
L. A. Swasey and Mrs. Emma Hatha-
wav, all of Norwich, Ct, underneath
their overturned car and the president
helped TO pull them out. They were
badly bruised and frightened, but an
examination by DIR. Grayson showed
that none of them was seriously IN.
iured. The people in the overturned
automobile did not recognize the presl-
dent and until later did not know who
helped them.

AMERICAN COMMAND
Err FEARS UPRISING
Anti Foreign Demonstra-
tions Are Expected, and
Carranza Is Said to Be
Particularly Incens e d
Against the United States
for Pan American Con-
ferences

Washington, D. c., Aug. io.-Comnian-
der McNamee, senior American naval Of
ficer at Vera Cruz, has asked the navy
department to send battleship squadron
to guard against anti-foreign demonstra-
tion which he fears.
After long deliberations on the situa-
ton, the officials determined to await
further reports before dispatching any
batleships, there being a genuine desire
on the part of administration officials to
do nothing to stir up feeling that might
be embarrassing to the Pan-Amercan
conferees.
An order was sent, however, directing
the gunboat Marietta to proceed at once
from Progresso to Vera Cruz, distance
Of about $50 miles. Rear Admiral Ben
SON explained that the Marietta might be
used to convey the Brazilian and Guate-
malan ministers in Mexico to New Or
leans. Meanwhile, the battleships Louis
lana and New Hampshire at Newport, r.
l., continued to get in readiness for i'm
mediate departure in the event it was
decided TO send them to Mexico.
Commander MeNamee's report did not
give details, but the officials here believe
that the anti-American feeling which he
reported is the direct outgrowth Of the
American negotiations in Washing
ton for the adjustment Of differences be-
tween the factions. Other developments
in Washington, such as Carranza's expul-
sion Of the Guatemalan minister and his
differences with the Brazilian minister
because the countries Of both participat-
ed in the Pan-Amerioan conferences are
taken as evidence Of Carranza's displeas-
ure with the stand the United States has
taken.

CROPS LAID FLAT
BY HAIL STONES
Central Vermont First Deluged and Then
Bombarded With "Shrapnel' of Large
Size-Train Held Up in Two
Places

Central Vermont, chiefly the section
living between Waterbury and Middlesex,
suffered from q heavy storm of hail
stones which followed near.cloudbnrst
late yesterday afternoon, fields OF corn,
oats and garden truck being hattened
completely to the ground, while leaves
were torn from trees and small bushes
were bent to earth. Roads i'll the hill
sections were washed out and dirt from
the highways leading to the Central Yer
mont railroad track covered the track to
the depth OF several inches between Wa
terbury and Middlesex.
The southbound passenger train ran
into one of these accumulations of dirt
about half way between the two villages
mentioned in spite OF the frantic efforts
OF farmer to flag the train. The sig
mailing was seen by the engineer and he
did his best to stop the train, but the
farmer had not gone up the track far
enough. The train ploughed into several
inches of accumulation on the track but
was not deraled. The passengers got
out and surveyed a scene that was very
unusual for Vermont in mid August, in
asmuch as there was evidence of winter
in covering OF hailstones on the harder
surfaces, some of the chunks of ice being
as large as the end Of persons thumb.
A further glimpse showed that great de-
vastation had been done to farm crops,
an injury that farmers will be slow to
recover from, ii is feared.
At length the train started again un-
der charge OF Conductor Michael Powers,
but had not gone more than quarter of
mile when it came across another thick
coating Of mud and refuse washed down
from q nearby road. Again the train
stopped as measure of safety and the
track was cleared for another advance.
In some places the mud was half foot
deep. The train pulled into Middlesex
quite bit behind schedule and there
passed the New England States Limited,
northbound, at that station and the lat
ter train was supplied with section men
carrying shoyels ready to dig path
through the mud.
Another hindrance which the south
bound train met with was series of
telegraph poles which, with foundations
weakened by the heavy rain, had sagged
toward the track so that it was impos-
sible for the train to get past until the
poles had been turned upward. About
half dozen poles We're found thus out OF
place. The Western Union telegraph wire
service was thoroughly demoralized out
OF Barre beginning at o'clock in the
afternoon.
The brunt OF the storm seems TO have
fallen on a section between Waterbury
and Middlesex not more than half mile
in width; and the rain came down there
in veritable torrents. Here in Barre the
rainfall was heavy but nothing like the
nature of a eloudburst.
