Weekly Report of Trade.

Burlington, Sept. 19.-Bradstreet's
Vermont office reports an active de-
mand by mems clothing and furnish
ing manufacturers for their product
with orders ahead for several months.
Manufacturers of woolens are of the
opinion that many clothing makers
have sufficient stock ahead on hand,
though prospects of applicable orders
are believed good. In the garment
specialties line an increased demand
is reported, notwithstanding advanced
prices. One new shirt factory is pre-
pairing for business
Marble quarries and manufacturers
are having a fair volume of business
and the demand for roofing slate is
about normal. Scale manufacturers
and manufacturers of stone machin-
cry and lumber novelties are we'll en-
ployed. Plumbing and heating con-
tractors are having a fairly active
business.
Manufacturing interests in general
are having a considerable amount of
business and future prospects are
considered good. The scarcity of
skilled and unskilled labor, however,
is felt and the high prices of mater
ials continue an important factor.
Retail trade in seasonable goods is
improving. Corn canneries are be-
ginning to be more active and a good
corn crop is reported in many sec
tions. Wholesale feed and produce
dealers are having a fairly good
business. Collections are reasonably
good.
For the week one small mercantile
failure is reported compared with one
for same period in 1915 and two in
1914.

BIG N. Y. STRIKE SURE
Only Hope of Averting WaIkOut OF
zoo, 900 Workers Now Rests In Final
Appeal to Labor Leaders.

New York. Sept 19.-After a citi-
zens committee had failed to effect
a basis of settlement between the
striking union carmen and their en-
ployers here it was announced tonight
that apparently the only hope OF
aaverting a threatened sympathetic
walkout of 100000 workers set for
Friday now lies in a final appeal to
be made to the labor leaders Thurs
day. The citizens committee will
confer tomorrow with Mayor Mitch
ell and Oscar S. Straus, chairman o
the Public Service Commission, in al
effort to find some solution of the
problem.
Following a conference today "
the mayor and Mr.. Straus, the com
mittee visited Theodore p. Shonts
president of the Interborough anC
New York Railways company, and
was said proposed to him a plan
evolved for the peaceable adjustmen
of the present differences. NJ
Shonts, it was learned tonight, in
formed the committee that he would
refuse positively to meet representa-
tives of the strikers. He told tn
committee that even if he were dis
posed to treat with the strikers he
could not do so because the 1900
loyal employees of his companies who
made possible the continuation of
traffic on the subways and elevated
lines, threatened to strike if he rec
ognized the unions.
In the meantime a meeting of the
central conference committee of the
strikers was held tonight to count
the strike vote. Ernest Bohm, sec
rotary of the Central Federated I'm
ion, announced at the close of the
meeting that communications had
been received from three unorganized
groups of employees in three great
industries asking permission to join
in the strike.

FOR A VERMONT TRAIL
Prof. VIII >. Monroe of MOntclair.
". j., Finances Expedition i'm the
Green Mountains.

Montclair, N. j.. Sept 1s.-Prof
Will s. Monroe Of the Montclair State
Normal school has made the gift of a
trail to the state Of Vermont Plans
were made by the Green Mountain
club Of Vermont to clear the noted
Long Trail as far south as Lincoln
Mountain 1916 and a small sum was
raised for that purpose.
This summer, however, Prof. Mon
roe. who is an enthusiastic woodsman,
offered to finance a trail cutting ex-
petition and to do the work wherever
the Green Mountain club thought ad-
visable. After surveyors had mapped
out the route of the trail, Prof. Mon
roe and ]. Ashton Ellis of this town,
with Kerson Nurrian of New York
and several other members of the
Green Mountain club. proceeded from
Burlington to the route of the pro-
posed new trail.
Camp Montclair was established
and for three weeks the trail cutting
operations were conducted. The club
men made good progress. despite wet
weather, intense heat and black flies.
At intervals throughout the summer
other members Of the club Joined the
camp and aided in the work. The
clubmen sometimes had to use the
cross-cut saw to cut away the fallen
trees on the trail.
Prof Monroe's gift of this VAL
liable piece Of trail is expected to be
of inspirational value to all the mem
bers of the Green Mountain club, and
each season will probably see some
similar bit of trail perfected by the
personal work of the clubmen.

SHOOTS MAN, SUICIDES.
Rose WiIlets of Burlington, Shoots
BrOther-in-Iaw, Whom She Believed
OBTAINING Her, Then Kills Self.

Burlington, Sept. 13.-While labor
ing under the delusion that her broth
er-in-law, John Deyette, was trying to
defame her character by spreading
stories about her, Miss Rose Willets
crept up to window in Deyettes coal
office on lower Champlain street this
morning and fired two bullets at the
man as he sat in a chair reading a
newspaper. After merely wounding
Deyette slightly, the girl turned the
weapon on herself and killed herself
on the spot.
The two Willets girls came to Bur-
lington from Detroit a few years ago
and solicited for a booklet. Both
were goodlooking and made rapid
progress with their work. Latterly
John Deyette fell in love with one of
them and married her. Mr.. and Mrs
Deyette live on Monroe street, while
Miss Willets resided with her mother,
Mrs. Rose d. Willets, on Main street.
There does not seem to to have been
any ground for the girls delusion that
Deyette was defaming her character.
Deyette is well known here, where he
is engaged in the coal business.
However, the young lady, who was
% years of age, nursed the grievance
and finally became beside herself. All
that saved Deyette from death was
the fact that the glass in the window
of his office slightly DETECTED the
course of the bullets which the girl
fired. one bullet merely making
flesh wound in one cheek and the 9TH
er grazing one leg and then dropping
down in Deyette's shoe. Deyette will
recover promptly. The girl died Is
minutes after turning the weapon on
herself.

Second Day of State Fair.

The second day OF the Vermont
State fair was most successful. The
weather was ideal and the crowd one
of the largest in the 10 years history
of the organization. Administration
headquarters gave the figures as
about $4,000 attendance and 1000 au-
tomo biles.
The racing schedule was the princi-
pal event in a long program. There
were three races on the card, the 2.20
pace being eventful in two features.
Pm this race there was a mixup in the
upper turn three horses came togeth-
er, two drivers being spilled and two
sulkies badly shattered. Luckily
neither was injured and the three
horses were given place.
Lady Gambage, a bay mare, that
has been the favorite this season on
the New England circuit was in
stantly popular and while she did not
win the first heat, being one of the
horses in the mixup, took the three
succeeding heats. Gay Petress, a bay
mare. driven by H. F. Pierce, lost her
driver when the three horses came
together but made the entire heat
without a driver, without a break and
was given seventh place in the fin
ish.
Inc z.Z4 pace Win seven starters
went four heats. Major Dean,
Chestnut gelding, finished fourth in
the first heat, but in the three sue
ceeding holly contested heats came in
first.
A parade of prize stock took place
on the track this afternoon. BY good
judges it is said that no better show
ing of Morgan horses has ever been
seen on the state fair track. The cat
tie parade included winners from
nearly every New England state and
from states as remote as West Vir-
ginia.
