Flood Conditions Last Night.

Flood Conditions Last Night.
Weather changing ITO colder at 8
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon prevented
flood conditions in Montpelier. How
ever, the water did run into the cellars
of some of the stores in the city, but
not enough TO do much damage. 1t kept
the merchants alert until about mid
night to make sure that the danger
point was past. The north bound aft
ernoon trains on the Central Vermont
railway We're delayed some time be-
cause Of more danger between North
field and Roxbury. II appears that a
freight train crew found soft spot
where water was working on the road
bed south of the place that was washed
out some weeks ago, and delay OF
about three hours occurred to the north
bound express at that point. A slow
order was in effect relative to water
being over the tracks between Rox-
bury and East Granville. Trains were
run last night with considerable eau
zion. Roads leading into Montpelier
from different sections were iinpassa-
Bile last evening owing to water hav-
ing set back in Them This included
the roads from Worcester and Middle
sex, while there was water in the high
way along Berlin street in this city.
A representative of the Redpath
Chautauqua met some of the guaran-

York, knight McGreggor OF New

gust.
Some woman teacher in the Vermont
schools viii be wondering in months 10
come why she is not accredited with
some $40 which she paid towards the
teachers retirement fund, but if she
will make her name known to the sec
retarv of the organization she will get
due credit for the same. II appears
that one Saturday afternoon she APP
peared at the state building, desiring
to contribute that sum to the fund and
that owing to the fact that she could
no find the person she wanted, she
paid the jantor the sum of money and
he gave her receipt for the money,
placing the same in safe place until
Monday morning when he turned the
same over to Miss Bertha Buzzell, sec
rotary Of the organization; but when
inquiry was made as to the name Of
the woman the ianitor did not have
that, for the woman had gone away
without giving her name. This case
brings TO mind the carelessness OF some
person who a few nights since in Mont
pelier. tied a watch to the door knob
Of the iewelry store of Brown and
blackwell in Montpelier. Officer Frank
Baldwin saw the watch hanging and
removed il. The next day he turned it
over to the jewellers and is wondering
who the owner of the property is.
