that the young fellow went into the air
at some length before he finally came
to normal position on the street. Chief
! Connolly arrived about that time. He
| had frank talk with the man, who
was told TO go to his home for the night
at least. Whether any further action
will be taken in the matter is not yet
| decided; but the man promised to mend
| his way and left probably with the i'm
| preston that he cannot pull off any Of
the big city stuff in Vermont cities

There has been some urmor Of cur
tailment in the number Of station EN-
plOyes on the Montpelier and Wells Riy-
er railroad, but one OF the officials con-
nected with the road stated Friday that

has been over the road and may later
make some suggestions along that line.
Il is thought that the rlmor started

have been removed and one agent placed
in charge Of several stations with clerks
handlig the work. which is a marked
saving in the salary accounts, it is
claimed.
