can of kerosene on the kitchen floor and
caused an explosion, the flames from
which ignited the clothing of the baby.
Mrs. Bolster's clothing caught fire when
she attempted to save the child's life.

LIGHTING OFFER
BY TWIN STATE
Submits Figures for Single
Light Posts on Ten
Year Basis
PROPOSED SCHEDULE
WOULD COST $2,14O
This Is Increase of s1,o40 Over Present
Cost and Calls for 40 Lamps. All to
Burn Until Midnight and IA to Burn
All Night.

An article relating to the matter of
street lighting will be inserted in the
warrant for the annual village meet
ing, which will be held Tuesday, May
|. The Twin State Gas & Electric Co..
through Vice President II. /. Olds, has
just submitted figures to the village
commissioners showing what the ex-
pense would be for lighting 40 single
hight ornamental posts to replace the
arches of incandescent lights over Main
and Elliot streets These posts would
be practically like those now installed
for demonstration purposes in front of
the company Office on the former
Hooker property.
Some have expressed a preference
for cluster lights, but it is understood
that cluster lights are being removed
in many places in favor of the single
lights. Mr.. Olds's letter follows:
Confirming our offer made to the
| commissioners of the village of Brat
tleboro on March 81, the Twin State
Gas & Electric Co. Will agree to sail
| dppioAlHdlelN ~ Single uSnL OTndueH-
tai posts, of 400 candle power each, at
the rate of 500 per post per year for
all lamps burning on the standard all
night every night schedule; and at the
rate Of $50 per post per year for all
lamps burning until midnight every
night in the year.
1--WE believe that an installation
would be entirely satisfactory for
lighting Main street from the railway
station to the post Office and from
Main street along Elliot to the Prin-
cess theatre, IA of which should be
burned on the all night schedule and
: 26 Of which should be burned until
midnight every night. These lights
burning under these two schedules
: would cost the village $2.140 year.
: However, these posts would replace all
: of the arches now installed and about
80 100-candle power street lamps. the
present cost of which is $1.100 pei
year, making a net increase in light
ing of l,040 per year.
1.-The above prices include the in
s+o1'ntior &C the nos+s and are based
on a contract covering a period of IL
years.

The state house has been like ban
quet hall deserted today. The senate
voted to accept the invitation Of the
Barre Quarry Owners association to
visit the quarry hill today. The house
at first turned down the proposition, but
later voted in favor of it, and with all
kinds of important business pending 250
members OF the legislature have been on
a junket and neither house convened
until this afternoon.
Evening sessions were held yesterday
al which considerable work was done.

The house also quietly inferred H 372,
authorizing the purchase OF stone crush
ers BY the several counties, and II 1893, to
bond the state for S2,000000 to develop
water power. Incidentally the house
heard nine new bills read, several senate

amended, and the news was passed
around that today's calendar would be a

The commission has received no word
from the London headquarters, which
sent the message about the Feinstein,
regarding the torpedoing Of the Trev-
Ter. Both vessels carried crews made
up mostly of Belgians and Hollanders.
It is believed by the commission that
no Americans were on board either yes.

Ter carried solid cargoes Of wheat for
starving people III Belgium and north
orn France.
Members Of the commission here
were loath to believe the Trevicr had
been torpelocd without warning. The
vessel had observed the German rcstric
tions that gives a safe conduct to yes
sells that take the northern route. This
safe conduct was received here March
10.
