BIG RAILROAD
STRIKE ABOUT
CONCLUDED
Shopmen Waiting for Final
TabulatiOns of the Vote,
Plan to Resume Work

The railroad situation as far as the
strike is concerned is growing better
every day and the votes thus far tab
ulated indicate that the men are de-
sirous of returning to work. The
situation at the car shops at Lyndon
vile is practically unchanged and
the men are waiting to get the tabu-
lated returns from the strikers on
the New Haven system. This will
probably be known at midnight. The
1000 shopmen in the various shops
at Springfield have voted and the
men make no secret of the fact that
they will return to work. They eX-
press themselves as greatly pleased
that a decision has been reached to
grant pension ri nd the continu-
ance of passes.
Director General Hines has an
nounced that wage increases for rail.
road employees will be considered by
the railroad administration immedi-
ately after the last shopmen has re-
turned to work. No dealings with
any shopmen now on strike will be
had.
Owing to the strike on one of the
branches of the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad the miners are facing star
walton as they cannot get. supplies
from the stores. The railroad strike
has closed down 800 mines and
thown 10000 miners out of work.

JURY FAILED
TO AGREE ON
LIQUOR CASE
III. Merrin of GrOtOn Fought
IntOXicatiOn Case to An
Upper Court Trial

MONTPELIER, AugS 13-One Of
the hardest fought intoxication cases
that has been tried in Montpelier city
court in long time took place Tues
day throughout the entire day and
until II o'clock at night, when the
jury in the case of State VS.. Henry
Mcrrin of Groton was dismissed be-
cause it could not agree upon ver-
dict. Merrin was charged with be-
ing intoxicated while operating an
automobile, the arrest resulting from
an accident that happened when the
Merrin's automobile collided with
that of Louis Aaron on River street
in Montpelier.
The defense made a special effort
to draw out from the states witness
ses information relative to an alleged
civil suit against the Merrins because
of injury to Louis Aaron and ]. Hind
leman, in which the state was sus-
tained in its objections and the res
pondent given exceptions.
An effort was made to have the
discharge of Merrin from the army
introduced as evidence, but the court
would not allow it. However, in the
argument of the case the respond
ent's attorney made much of the
mans army service in France.
The states witnesses in direct tes-
timony, testified to Merlin being
under the influence Of liquor. These
included the officers, Maxwell Carl
ton and J. Hindleman, ]. w. Counter,
that he heard talking but he did not
know who the parties were.
The respondent had long string
of witnesses to endeavor to show
that the respondent did not use liq-
uor. These included Thomas Merrin,
Fred Merrin, Charles Tobias, William
Ward, Edward Parizo, while Leon
Hutchins and Fred Merrin claimed
that the respondent did not take any
liquor the night of the accident. 1t
was a fishing trip. The respondents
witnesses were unable to account for
the bottle of liquor which Officer
Sloan testified he saw Fred Merrin
take from the automobile. Charles
Tobias testified to seeing Merrin near
the Pine restaurant and that he was
Straight" at that time. Leon Hut
chins did not seem to remember much
when the state cross-eXamined him.
Robert and S. r. Robson and Joseph
Williamson testified as to the good
reputation Merrin bears in Groton.
The jury took the case little after
s o'clock 1t reported about 1875
o'clock that it could not agree and
was sent back. 1t reported again
about II o'clock that it could not
agree and Judge Harvey dismissed
the jury. The date for the next
trial of the case was left open.

IN INDIA FOR
SIXTY YEARS
Mrs. L. S. Parker Visiting
Her Native Town After an
Absence of IL Years

Mrs. Lois S. Parker, wife of the
late Bishop E. w. Parker of India
is re-visiting her native town after
an absence of II years and being
most cordially greeted by her friends
Mrs. Parker is 85 years young, active
and energetic and plans to return to
her missionary field again in Novem-
Der.
Mrs. Parker was born on what was
afterwards the Judge Hovey farm be-
tween this village and East St. Johns
bury, educated at st. Johnsbury aca-
denny, and after her marriage to Rev.
E. w. Parker, who was also native
of st. Johnsbury, decided to join him
in missionary work in the Orient
They were the pioneer missionaries
of the Methodist church in India and
went there just after the terrible
Sepoy rebellion. They were located
in Bijnor and were the only mission
aries among 100000 natives who
looked upon them with suspicion and
innocently asked them how much
they got a head from the English
government for making them Christ
ians. Illustrative of the changed at
titude of the natives Mrs. Parker re-
turned to Bijnor a short time ago to
do some emergency work and the
people lined the streets to welcome
her and at one of the religious ser.
vices there were 1000 native christ
ians in the audience.
DR.. and Mrs. Parker were located
for 80 years at ,Maradabad and later
at Lucknow. For the past few years
Mrs. Parker has been living at Har-
dol to which place she expects to
turn.
During the war the native tribes
were very loyal to the English and
furnished many troops for the Brit
ish army. Some of the native prime IS
contributed literally to the war funds
and one of them has since been made
peer. This says Mrs. Parker, has
greatly helped in cementing the
friendship between the natives and
their rulers, and it is also the policy
of the British government to place
as many possible of the natives ii
office as means of developing a sort
of home-rule policy.
Mrs. Parker is the only one of the
eight women now living that founded
the Women's Foreign Missionary Soc
iety so years ago and she will be one
of the speakers at the jubilee cele-
bration in Boston in October. She
was one of the speakers at the cen
tenary missionary gathering of the
Methodsts at Columbus last month
and greatly inspired large audiences.
This veteran missionary made the
trip across the seven seas by sailing
from Calcutta direct to Boston. 1t
was a six weeks voyage, but owing
to war conditions it was impossible
to secure passage over the regular
lines between India and the Europ-
can ports. There were many mis-
sionaries on the steamer, including
the veteran American Board mission
ary, Rev. DR.. Hume, who like Mrs.
Parker is the pioneer in his denomin-
alton ir India.
