Switching Engine on Which
He Was Riding-Both Legs
Cut Of and Body Mutilated in
Other Ways

Octave j. Vizino, yard brakeman at the
terminal station. was run over and killed
yesterday afternoon shortly after four
O'CLOCK by shifting engine, on the front
OF which he was riding The accident
happened I'm the Rutland railroad yard on
one or the tracks near the old round
house.
Just how the accident happened no one
seems to know. Vizino is a brakeman of
many years experience and was attend
Ing to his regular duties on the switch
ing engine which was going at slow
rate OF speed. The first thing Engineer
Patrick Sheehan knew was that he missed
Vizino from the front of the engine and
saw him under the engine. He stopped the
engine before the drivers had passed over
Vizino, but the truck wheels had severed
both legs Just below the hips. Vizino also
had scalp wound, in addition to being
mutilated in other ways. He was breath
ing his last as Sheehan and Fireman
Smyth jumped out Of the cab to his res
cue. DR.. c. A. Pease was called and the
man was removed on the railroad
stretcher to where the police ambulance
could take him. The body was then taken
to Corbn & Frye's undertaking rooms.
Mr. Vizino was Al years of age. He Is
survived by three daughters. Mrs. Angus

ELECTRIC LIGHT
AND POWER STATIONS
Census Bureau Gives Figures
Showing Steady Growth in In
dustry in the Green Mountain
State During the Last Five
Year Period

Preliminary figures Of the forthcoming
uuinu,Ienniaf report on tho central cleo
trft light ana power stations oil the Stato
Of Vermont have been given out by d.
rector Samuel J.. Rogers OF tho bureau
Of census, department of commerce. They
were prepared under the supervision or
Eugene II. Hartley, chief statistician Tor
manufactures.
Tho statistics relate to the years end
lae December 81. 1917. 1912 and 1907, ana
cover both commercial and municipal
plnpts. They do not. however. cover
electric plants operated by factories
hotels. etc. which generate current for
their own consumption: those operated
by the federal government and state
institutions; and those that were idle or
In course Of construction.
The growth of the industry from 1907
to 1912 continued during the following
fye-year period. The fact that the total
number Of establishments was smaller
by two in 1917 than in 1912 does not give
a true impression of the conditions, rs
10 establishments were reported for the
first time in 1917. the net decrease being
due to consultations among the COM
pan!es rather than to the discOntnuance
Of operations. From 1912 to 1917 the in
come increased $751; ,1G, or G3G per cent.
compared with an increase Of $50, or
40 per cent, from 1907 to 1912. The In
crease in total horsepower and in the
capacity Of dynamos was greater both
actually and relatively, from 1912 TO 1917
than from 1907 to 1912 From 1872 to 1917
the output Of stations increased 22,419, 600
kilowatt hours, or 52.6 per cent, compared
with 12,73s,551 kilowatt hours, or 42.6 per
cent, from 1907 to 1912. Consistently with
the general trend of street lighting, Ner
mont shows decided decrease in the
use Of arc lamps for this purpose since
1907.
There were 43 commercial and 16 mu-
nicipal establishments in 1917. with a total
income of S2.00s,515. The total expenses,
including salaries and wages, were 81 Gill;
292; 443 persons were employed the total
horse power was 1890. of which 56,425
came from water wheels; the kilowatt
capacity of dynamos was 51,751 and the
output of stations 65,079.5oi kilowatt
hours; 3,44S stationary motors We're served
with horsepower Of 43,503; there were
1856 arc lamps and 9.046 incandescent
lamps.

MONTPELIER MAN
CHARGED WITH FORGERY
yohn Moriarity Under Arrest in
( Springfield, Mass, on Charge
+ of Obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses - Burlington
Man Makes Formal Complaint

John Moriarity Of Montpelier was ar
rested Sunday noon in Springfield
Mass, for obtaining money under false
pretenses. Moriarity, who has been re-
Gently discharged from the army, has
been doing a thriving business during the
past few days, according to reports, by
representing himself over the telephone
as a friend of almost every one and bor-
rowing money on the strength of that.
His business got on such n scale that the
Western Union company took an interest
in his activities and was one means Of
causing his arrest.
Moriarity made good in the army and
was advanced to the rank of sergeant
major but since his discharge seems to
have gone the wrong way. About the
iirst Of the month, Joseph T. Stearns Of
this city received long distance tele-
phone call from Troy, N. Y, from Mortar
fly. who represented himself as being an
other person The long distance con-
veyed the message that he had lost his
pocletbooiS and wanted to have Mr.
Gtearns wire him ten dollars. This Mr..
Stearns did.
Closely following the Troy deal, Mori-
arity arrived in Springfield, Mass, and
there resumed his activities He bor-
rowed or obtained money from George
Smith Of Montpelier and later endeavored
70 represent himself to others as r. Fl.
6tandish Of Montpelier. His venture in
this direction was unsuccessful for the
reason that it was we'll known in Montpe-
tier that Mr.. Standish was Ill In the hos
pital there.
The Western Union people became tired
Of the continual source of trouble and
