BANKS' LOSS HEAVY.
lair Haven and Poult ney Institution in
Hughe FailureAlleged Crookedness.
Rutland, Aug. 4. Each day new and
startling developments are coming out in
the recent failure of Geu. W. II. 'Hughes,
the promihent'pcilitician, financier and slate
manufacturer, of Granville, N. Y. Prom
present appearances, it may be judged
that a large number of banks and private
individuals will be hetvy losers as a re
sult of the failure. It is stated ' on good
authority that the approximate losses of
the various banks are as follows: At
Glens Palls arid Sandy Hill, $2tS,0W;
Farmers' National Bank of Granville.
$;0,000; banks of Poultney aud Fair Ha
ven, unknown, but presumably, larcre
amounts. A number of Granville people
will also lose heavily.
Some pretty damaging statements are
now being made which allege crookedness
on Hughes part. One case Is reported
where a New York man who visited Gran
ville once or twice has been notified by a
bank that his name was on Hughes note
for $-,000 as indorser. This man states
he had no acquaintance with Hughes and
never signed any of his papers. Another
Granville party, so it is said, finds he has"
Indorsed for $5,!j00 on Hughes notes,
whereas he supposed it was only a $1,500
note. When lie supposed he was signing
a renewal of the same note, each one was
a new note. A Granville widow paid
Hughes about 1,500 due on a mortgage
on her house, and it turns up in the hands
of a Salem bank.
The whereabouts of Mr. Hughes are
still unknown, and a great many people
besides those mentioned would like to lo
cate him.

given a certificate signed bv I . S. Com
missioner James A. Merrill notifying him

ployed by the Woodbury Granite Co. at
Bethel are all out on strike and the pros
pects are that it will be some time before
the difficulty Is adjusted.
The strike went into effect Saturday.

per day, thus making an eight-hour day,
and an increase of wages ranging from IS

TRIED TO BURN
THE BUILDING
Burglars Break Into
Zanleoni'Ss
DESTROY MUCH PROPERTY
Set Fire to Pile of Paper,. Took What
Liquor They Wanted, and
Escaped,
Burglars broke into Charles Zanleoni'a
wholesale liquor store on Granite street
last night, made away with a considerable
amount of liquid refreshments, smashed
bottles and fixtures, broke the plate glass
window in tbe front of the building and
tried to add incendiarism to their other
misdeeds by starting a small tire among
some papers on the iloor. That the build
ing did not burn is remarkable.
The first intimation that burglars had
been In the place was had this morning at
about 5 o'clock wheu Arthur Thompson,
an employee, went to the stables to feed
the horses. lie saw a window was broken
and notified Mr. Zanleoni that some one
had broken Into the place.
The thieves gained an entrance through
a rear window, by breaking out a sash. A
box was set up next the building under
the window aud easy access was secured.
The Invaders pulled down all the shades
in the front otlice, lighted additional gas
jets and proceeded to make themselves at
home. As fast as a bottle was emptied, it
was broken over some of the fixtures and
glass was scattered over all the floor in
this way. lias jets were pulled out and
the lamps broken. The invaders also
shot bullets through the VAte glass win
dow in the front of the store breaking that.
In oue instance where a ens jet was
broken otf.the gas was lighted at the break
and it was left burning ail night in that
way.
In one corner bnnch of papers had
been piled, soaked with kerosene and then
lighted, but for some unexplained reason.
the paper burned out without setting lire
to the building.
The invaders evidently satisfied their
thirst while in the building and then pro
ceeded to carry away what they could.
Just how. much was taken Mr. Zanleonl
has no means of knowing. They evidently
took out of the window more than they
could carry away, for a half a dozen bot
tles of Jones' ale was found on the ground
just outside the buiklliig.
Since the arrest of a man on the prem
ises a few weeks azo for breaking and en
tering, two dogs have been kept in the
building, but they did not keep the Invad
ers out. One, o; iy a six-months' old imp,
was a very much feightened dog when the .
place was opened up this morning.
The employes ot the place gathere d up
a barrel of bottles, when they cleaned up.
At least one invader grew careless, lor
he left a gray plaid cap behind. On the
Inside were pinned several fish hooks.
This was the only clue the invaders left.
Although some people ascribe the break
to the visiting soldiers, the police do not
believe they had anything to do with it.
