ALL OF CREW SAVED. y
And Captain Of Steamer Columbian is a
German Prisoner.

Corunna, Spain, via Paris, Nov. Ia
Capt. Frederick Curtis of the American
steamer Columbian, who arrived here
with the rescued crew of this teamship
declared to a representative of the AS
sociated Press yesterday he was a pris-
oner on board the German submarine
C-49 for six days after the destruction
of his vessel.
All of the 100 members of the Column
bian's crew were saved, Captain Curtis
stated Captain Curtis said the Column
bian was warned before she was torpe-
doed and sunk by the crew of the U-49.
The Columbian's crew was left in life
boats, as the captain was taken on board
the submarine.
Captains Curtis and Patterson, relst-
ing their experiences, said they were al
lowed at intervals, between the opera
tions of the submarine, to go on deck to
smoke. They were watched on deck by
members of the crew armed with re-
volvers, but when they went below the
crew put aside their weapons. There
was only one chair in the cabin, which
the captains used in turn, otherwise they
had to lie on the hunks.
The submarine signalled the Swedish
steamer Varing ID miles off the Spanish
port of Carmarines toward noon of No
yember o. The steamer stopped and was
ordered to take aboard the captains and
land them. She was also ordered to take
aboard the crews of the Columbian and
Norwegian steamers. All were welcomed
aboard the Varing. The submarine
watched the operation, and then ordered
the Varin to make for the coast six miles
from Camarines. The Varing directed to
set out life boats and embark the ship
wrecked men in them. This was a long
and difficult operation, and an Ameri- |
can from the Columbian fell into the sea I
and narrowly escaped drowning. He was +
slightly injured during his rescue.

leen Cox, a senior in the commercial de-
partment at st. Johnsbury academy last
week, is now Mrs Roy Green. The mar

to the brides home, where the parents
were acquainted with the facts.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. james Cox of l07 Eastern avenue
and Mr.. Green has been residing at the

LOCOMOTIVES SIDESwIPED.
One Quite Badly Damaged But No One
Was Injured

Two Barre a. Chelsea locomotives, the
Granite City and the Monarch, sideswiped
each other in the M. & w. Il. freight
yard just north of the Prospect street
crossing early this afternoon and in con
sequence of the accident the Monarch,
with a partially demolished cab, will
probably be shelved for time while re-
pairs are being made. The Granite City
was running light out of Burnhams
meadow at 1890 o'clock and the Mon
arch, recently returned from Milestone
hill with two cars in its wake, had Just
crossed Prospect street and was swinging
onto the main track when the crash
came. 1t occurred near a switch and the
rear end of the Granite City, which was
bound south, came against the underpin.

Crews aboard each locomotive stuck to
their posts and no one was injured The

Jack Frost Brings a Foot of
Real Snow Over
Night
COLDER WEATHER
is TO FOLLOW
The Very Old-Timers eS.rk
Back to Octobe :
Year 184f -

A November day of wallowing in snow
that measured ten inches in protected
spots and an even foot in the open re-
minded old timers of the winter which
began in the fall of October, ls4s Then,
in the late days of the harvest moon,
snow piled high over the fence tops and
remained much in evidence until spring.
Apples were left under trees and pota-
toes that made the home in mother earth
through the winter retained much of
their flavor in the spring. At dawn to-
day 1t looked good deal like AS to the
Old Timers club and there were those
of other generations who could not re-
call time when snow was so deep in
mid November Children hail it as a
dlspensation for their own particular
benetlt, but the farmer who has yet to
finish his fall ploughing sees only
dreary waste OF white on his fields
Although the snow began to fall in
earnest Monday afternoon, its presence
on the well known earth caught most
folks unawares at dawn to-day. There
were hasty shifts from wagons to run
ners among people who have to be about
each day with horses Autos took to COW
er and very few travellers were abroad
on pneumatic tires. The street depart
ment was not to be caught mapping and
what with 10 and Il inches of snow ON
the walks, the paths were pretty well
ploughed out soon after daybreak.
Those who are prone to lay their lesser
grievances at the door of the street de-
partment must admit that the work was
very commercially done.
Trainmen anticipated minimum of
delay in train service for the reason that
the first snowfall seldom discommodes
traffic on the steel rails. Neverthe-
less, the Green Mountain express, plough
ing its way through blizzardette from
n. H., this morning, was
half-hour overdue and passengers aboard
who surveyed the heavy fall along the
wells River" division thanked their
lucky stars that they were able to reach
Barre at all. Jack Frost commanded
the land forces to-day but promises to
abide by the weather clerks decision
that cold weather will follow. So for
he present at least, the air lanes will

SHOOTS TWO, THEN
KILLS HIMSELF
Dudley, Mass, Town Counsel, Suddenly
Insane, Shoots Daughter
in-Law and Sen.

Dudley, Mass, Nov. l4--Frank r.
Deon, town counsel, tax collector and
prominent citizen Of this village for
many years, went insane suddenly yes
terday noon while in COW barn 40 feet
/ from his house. He seized an old army
rifle, shot his daughter in law, Mrs. Rob.
ert Deon, through the heart, wounded
his son, Robert, so seriously that he viii
die, and rushing from the shed sent a
bullet into his own breast just below the
heart. He will die.
The son said just before he was taken,
with his father, to the Memorial hospi-
tai in Worcester:
"Father was crazy drunk"
Robert, who is % years old, and his
wife, 81, had just returned from covering
a milk route in Worcester. The father
met them at the farm door and immedi-
ately began to seold about something
connected with the business. Both the
son and wife replied,
Don't talk to me, don't answer me
back!" the father suddenly screamed,
and running to the wall took down the
rusty old rifle. His children made no
attempt to get away, evidently not be
lieving he would shoot.
The old man took deliberate aim and
sent the first bullet squarely through
his daughter in-law's heart.
She dropped dead where she stood.
Robert stood watching, Mortified, too
stunned to move, as the father again
sighted along the barrel and put bull
let through the boys lung.
Mrs Deon, the mans wife, had looked
from the window at the first shot and
saw the woman fall. She ran as the
second shot rang out. The father prob
ably intended to shoot her also, for he
rushed from the shed toward the house.
As he did 50, however, he caught a
glimpse of her figure flying down the
road. He stopped and ackwardly point
ed the rifle at his own heart and fired.
The bullet missed that organ by inches. /
The fleeing wife reached the house of
Edgar f. Hill, where she telephoned to /
the police Constables arriving a few |
minutes later found father and son dying /
on the ground within 90 yards of each |
other. They were hurried to the Me
mortal hospital in Worcester, but there
Is no hope for either of them.
The father is a graduate of Boston
He has had the reputation /
Of being erratic occasionally for some /
time. He was 50 years old.
