cracking of the flames, tried to reach a
window, but was suffocated before he
reached the open air. Neighbors succeed

ground.
The fire broke out about ? O'Clock, per
sons who discovered it are of the opinion
but it was nearly half an hour before it
was discovered.
Mr.. Cadman was rs years old and was
born in Canada. although he came to
Shady Rill 25 years ago from Cambridge.
He was an odd character and associated
but little with his neighbors. 1t was his
custom to walk to Montpelier and back

E. G. Milham's Buildings
at East Montpelier
Destroyed
100 HEAD OF CATTLE
WERE RESCUED
Buildings Were Formerly
Owned by Horace
M. Farnham

Fire, which started about o'clock thi:
forenoon in the south end of the barn
entirely destroyed the buildings on the
farm of L. G. Milham in East Montpelier
causing a loss estimated at about $4,000
The farm. one of the finest in Washing
ton county, better known as the Stevens
farm and owned and occupied until five
years ago by Horace NJ. Farnham OF
Montpelier, was purchased year ago
by Mr.. Milham, then OF Hinesburg, from
j. II. Ruiter OF Burlington, who pur-
chased of Mr.. Farnham for investment.
The sale price, it is understood was
around $4,000.
All of the cattle in the barn, about 100
head, and other livestock, together with
the house furnishings, were saved by the
occupants OF the farm and willing neigh
bors, but the buildings will be a total
loss. The Vermont Mutual Fire Insur-
ance company had 81 500 insurance, part.
ly reinsured.
The fire started from a cause not de-
termined, while those who carry on the
farm were in the sugar orchard, some
distance from the main buildings; and
for this reason considerable time elapsed
before the blaze was discovered, ena bling
the flames to gain much headway. Aside
from a few hand chemical extinguishers,
the buildings were without fire protec-
tion, the water supply, while adequate
for general purposes, being almost use
less in fighting fire. 1t was quickly seen
that the buildings were doomed and
neighbors assisted Mr. Milham and his
employees to save the furniture and stock.
There were about 25 tons of hay in the
loft, which was destroyed
The house. which was two stories in
height, had is rooms. all finished in hard
wood. II was erected in 1885 by Thomas
B. Stevens, father OF Mrs. Farnham, at
1 cost of between $4,000 and $1,000 and
the barn, which had dimensions of 80 by
I04 feet and which had accommodations
'or about l25 head Of cattle, was built
seven years later at a cost Of about the |
'ame. Building material at that period /
vas much cheaper than at the present |
lime and the cost TO replace the build |
ngs would aggregate nearer $4,000 at |
he present time. Both house and barn |
we're rooted with slate and equipped with |
III modern conycniences.
The property was owned by Mr.. Farm
lam until about a year ago, although he
emoyed to Montpelier five years ago and
ocated on the Mortified road Mr. and
irs. Milham moved to the farm from
iinesburg, where they carried on large
arm for a number of years.

manufacturers and the granite cutters
over the proposed bill to take the place
of the agreement which expired March J.
Some of the manufacturers are reported
to be willing to sign five-year bill, al
though the association as a whole stands
for the fouryear agreement. On the
other hand some cutters are said to be
ready to sign a four-year bill contrary to
the wishes of the branch, which is hold

B. & NJ. METHODS
ARE DENOUNCED
AS LAW-BREAKING
New Hampshire Public Service Commits
sion Criticized Expenditure of Money
in Efforts te Influence Legislation.

Concord N. H.. March Criticisms
of the methods employed by the officials
of the Boston & Maine railroad and sub
salaries of this state in the expenditure
of money to influence legislation were
contained in report of the state public
service commission, which was issued
to-day.
Political activities by railroad manag-
ers, says the report, are entirely foreign
to the purpose for which railroad cor
porations were established. Their bust
ness is TO serve the public and not to
govern it. The report dealt particularly
with the activities in connection with
the plan of the Grand Trunk railroad
to build line through New Hampshire,
which would have paralleled portions of
the Boston & Maine leased lines, which
plan was afterwards abandoned. The
commission found no evidence that any
money appropriated by the Grand Trunk
for this campaign had been spent ille-
gally or improperly.
In behalf of the Boston g. Maine rail.
road, 81 lawyers were employed, and
they were paid over $4,000. The com
mission finds that in the Concord &
Montreal records of the employment of
George A. Weston of Bellows Falls to
oppose the Grand Trunk, false voucher
was issued, which, the report says, was
in violation of an act of Congress.
The commission recommends detailed
reports be made at stated intervals of all
expenditures by corporations for attor-
neys, political agents, advertising and
attempts to influence legislation or pub
lie opinion"
