The Clarendon Marble company was never in more flourishing condition than now, its plant near West Rutland running- seven double gangs, three iubbing beds, five polishing machines and employing 125 men. v The general store of Sprague & Sprague, of East Randolph, including the postoffice, was burned to the ground, together with a store house and contents, early Tuesday morning, the total loss being estimated between $8,000 and $9,000. The cause of the fire is not known. ' A well-dressed stranger, who regist ered at the St. Johnsbury House Sat urday as "J. H.Cross, Boston," cashed in some bad checks about St. Johns bury Monday and his case is booked to be considered in Municipal court. He cashed one check for $15.00 at the New York Fruit store and another at the' St. Johnsbury Fruit store for $10.00. The Manning company of Rutland closed a contract Saturday which will probably keep that plant running day and night for at least six months. The order is for all kinds of creamery supplies, to be sent, to Australia. One shipment has already been made. The present force of 40 men will be in creased and new machinery will be installed for facilitating the work. Great Women Composers.
