Commuters aboard the suburban train
leaving Montpelier at $3.50 a. m and ar
irving at the Barre station at 1854
o'clock felt the thrill of travelling in a
detached coach this morning when the
engine and tender anbuckled from the
combination car near the Wells & Lam
son plant in the north end. The train
was broken in a moment when no one
was expecting such an eventuality and
according to some of the passengers the
locomotive and tender proceeded several
rods before the absence of the coach was
discovered But the coach continued to !
skate merrily along under its own mo-
mentum and for aught the commuters !
knew it would have overtsken the i'm
perious locomotive before it reached the
city. When the mistake was noticed, the !
engineer reversed his brakes and backed p,
slowly toward Montpelier until the pas :
senger car should come to halt. The ,
We're only few moments !
overdue in reaching Barre. :
Domestic users of water in the upland

nearly $50 feet long where the grade was .
lowered by the Barre Town road commits i,
sioner in the summer is the scene of the =
water departments operations and as ),
many feet of water main will be lowered ;,
TO conform with the street grade. Water :
department employees are being assisted !,
by laborers in the employ of J. f. Cash :

hat a week will elapse before the de.
sired grade in the mains is finally estab-
ished Meanwhile householders in the =
