DESTROYER WRECKED.
Aground on Scottish Coast Crew Were
Saved.
St. Andrews, Scotland, Dec. 2K.(via
London) A liritish torpedo Iniat de
stroyer went unround early yesterday
morning on tire coast of hingsbarns
nix miles southeast of St. Andrews. Her
crew were saved by lifeboats.
The destroyer was steaming south
from Aberdeen to the Firth of Forth
and in the darkness, without her shore
lights, lost her bearings. After the res
cue of a portion of her crew one of the
lifeboats was stove in by the heavy
sea and the remainder of the erew was
saved only after considerable difficulty
by a second lifeboat.
The initiative in military operations
apparently has been left for the time be
ing to the airmen. Aerial raids across
the. English channel to the lower Thames,
over Freiburg, Nancy, Metx and Sochac
zew, Russian Poland, and on the German
s naval base at Cuxhaven have inflicted
considerable damage in the aggregate.
The details of the Cuxhaven expedi
tion are still lacking, although Berlin
asserts that the British aviators accom
plished nothing. It is said in Hamburg
that some damage was done. It is evi
dent, however, that a heavy fog prevent
ed the British from carrying out fully
their plans.
Activity on land and sea is diminish
ing. Even in Russian Poland the fight
ing is less severe without a decision be
in reached. Vienna admits that the
Austrians hare been compelled to re
treat before the Galician Carpathians and
!b Berlin it is said that the attempt to
cross the Bzura river in the advance on
Warsaw has been abandoned. In the
west the onslaught of the allies would
eem to have been checked by counter
attack of the Germans.
The Russians who have been attacking
the Galician fortress of Cracow have re
tired 50 miles and Cracow is now free
from immediate menace. It is asserted
in Petrograd that the Russians have im
proved their strategic position by falling
back. The capture of Cracow, however,
has long been sought by Russia, being re
garded as an important step in the way
to the invasion of Germany across the
Silesian border.
Elsewhere in the east few changes hare
occurred, t'ne Germans having relaxed for
the present their ar.aults on the Rus
aians" line wet of Warsaw.
Tie French office says to-day: "Fur
ther pri'pip-: has been made by the al
lies, par:rula:!y in the Meuse region.'
The admission is made, however, that a
trench orth of Ypres has been lost to
the German?.
A Berlin official states that Nieuport
again cas been bombarded by British
warship -md that a few civilians were
killed it wounded. It is asserted that
attacks ty the allies have been unsuccessful.

BOYS THREW BOMBS.
TWO KILLED BY GAS.
They Were Only "Stink Bombs," But
They Cleared the Theatre.
Four voung men entered the Comimie
theatre in Montpelier Saturday evening
and one of them dropped a bond) a
stink bomb which was so powerful as
to drive the patrons out of the theatre.
That was along about 0:1.) o clock. Com
plaint being made, Grand Juror Ther
inult conducted an investigation. It de
veloped that this was not the first case,
a lxinib of like nature having been
dropped in the theatre on Dec. 8, with
like uncomfortable results.
Following up these investigations, Al
len dale and Lester Hoomhower were in
Montpelier city court this morning, the
former charged with throwing the bomb
of Dee. 8 and the latter with making oc
cupancy of the ('omhjne out of the ques
tion Saturday night. Kach vouth plead
ed guilty and their eases were continued,
pending further investigation. It is al
leged that one or more other voung men
were concerned. Grand Juror Theriault
had previously learned of two "stink
Itomb" and suppressed them. lie is now
looking for the "factory." or source of
the bombs.

BURGLARS BROKE GLASS.
Their Children Escaped Death Although
Three Were 111.
Boston, Dec. 2S. Mr. and Mrs. John
Xevulus were asphyxiated and three of
their seven children were made ill yes
terday by gas escaping from a jet in
their South Boston home. The crying
of Albert, the youngest child, who had
crawled from the bed to play with his
Christmas toys, prolmbly saved the rest
of the family from death.
The father and mother always kept
the gas in their room burning dimly. It
is supposed that the light was extin
guished by a sudden draught, allowing
the gas to fill the house.
M'ss Anna Nevulus, who occupied an
adjusting room with her baby brother,
was the first to be awakened by his
cries. Although nauseated by tie fumes,
she managed to break a window to allow
air to enter the room and then made her
way to the bedroom of her mother and
f.tther. Ilotll were lifeless.
The girl's screams attracted the neigh
sirs, who carried her and two of her
listers, who had been overcome bv tiie
gas to the street where- they fully re
vived. The otlcr children in the iuiuse
were found to be unharmed.

Two Breaks of Like Nature On Same
Street in Buiiington.
Burlington, lhv. 8S. Two residences
on Colchester aventlH were entered bv
burglars Saturday afternoon just aft
er dark. The miscreants took some ar
ticles but just what is not J.nown, ow
ing to the fact that the people who live
in one of the houses were awav. It is
thought that toe burglaries were com
miffed between the hours of three and
half-past seven. At tiie residence of
Clifford C. Hall at the burglar broke
the glass in a window hi the back door,
thrust his hand through and unlockeo
the door. Mr. Hall says that all he has
missed is a sweater and a stickpin. The
other place visited was the house of
James W. is-ach, at number 2H.". In this
instance entrance was gained bv break
ing the glass in ft w indow through which
the burglar reached his hand and un
fastened the catch. As the Leach family
is alsHcnt from homo it is not known how
much stuff was taken.' A man who takes
care of the furnace in the ilwence of the
family'was at the house at three o'clock
in the afternoon and airain in the even
ing at 7:30. when he discovered that the
place had been Metered. The burglary
at the Hall house was also discovered in
the evening.
It is thoueht that the ones who en- ,

Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 28. The loss
of four lives and the probable fatal burn
ing of another inmate in a fire which
trapped the occupants of the Cambridge
city home on Tannery street while they
were asleep early this morning was defi
nitely established when officials made a
careful eheckiiig-up of the register today.
The Dead.
The dead are:
MRS. MARY Dl'N'N, aged 75.
MRS. ELIZA GRKEXLEAF, aged 84.
MRS. SCHULTZ, aged 05.
Probably Fatally Burried.
MRS. THERESA FORBES, aged 63.
THOMAS DANI,KLS, aged 84.
Many others among the 238 inmates,
who were mostly aged men and women,
suffered severely from fright anil expo
sure, and several were overcome by
smoke. The police, firemen and nurses
assisted them down the stairways, lire
esearies and ladders, and while the build
ing was burning they were cared for by
nearby residents, loiter a majority of
the inmates were taken to two city
buildings which had been provided with
mattresses.
The theory that the fire started from
spontaneous combustion was upset to
day when an investigation proved that
the origin was in a meat storage com
partment in the basement. Shooting up
the dumbwaiter shaft, the flames left the
first and second floors practically un
scathed and spread out through the third
floor containing the principal sleeping
quarters. One portion of this floor was
divided by wooden partitions into small
compartments, eaxdi occupied by two or
three women.
The three women killed were in two
of these tiny rooma clone to the top of
the shaft. Two of them were burned in
their bed. The third managed to reach
the corridor, where she was caught by
the flames. Daniels was too feeble to
leave his bed when the tire spread to the
men s division and lie was overcome try
smoke. Mrs. Forbes was also unable to
get tip and was badly burned before be
ing rescued.
In one room were 16 bed-ridden wom
en. All of them were uninjured and were
carried out. Among others saved was a
woman and her baby one week old. The
nurses and the more able-bodied in mutes
helped in the rescues. The stairways
were not reached by the flames but the
oci upants of many of the rooms were un
able to reach them and were carried
dow n ladders and fire escapes.
Miss Marion Johnson, one of the four
nurses in charge of the women's wards,
said: "It was a terrible scene. Mot of
the old ladies were screaming for help.
The smoke was so dense I could hardly
see my way about. Some policemen
came up a fire escape and we liegan to
get the women down to the ground. All
this while other nurses were working
like beavers in their wards."
Mayor Good was aitive in the rescue
and in providing shelter. "I hope." said
tli rnavor, "that every city in the coun
try will lesrn the lesson of this deplor
able affair. The death of those isior,

Burlington Houie and Contents Consider

Burlington, Dec. iJS.- Lighted candles
on a Christmas tree at the residence of
Charles H. Siniulding of First street

the department. The bla.e from one of
the candles communicated to the flimsy
material on the tree and soon the whole
tree blacd up. When the department
arrived it was necessary to make a live
ly fight to subdue the flumes. The lire
was confined to the room in which it
started, but aliout everything in the
room was burned. The house was filled
with smoke.

Albion, Me., ' Dec. 28. A lar' jj?
deuce, known as the Georg-
house, which cost $70,0(10 in
1WC2, was destroyed by fir ght.
There were 38 rooms in the h."
A big barn adjoining the ho.se was
also burned. The present owner is
Charles Ferrin of Corinua. His loss is
partly covered by insurance.
THAWING PIPES STARTED FIRE.
At Least That is Theory For Slight
Blaze on Brooklyn Street.
Cold weather and the resulting neces
sity of thawing out water pipes were
responsible for a stubborn fire which did
damage amounting to $50 late Saturday
afternoon in the house at 47 Brooklyn
street, owned by City Engineer George
A. Reed, and occupied jointly by the fam
ilies of George Stone and Mrs. Lena
Venner. Plumbers from a local hard
ithout anf1 attempt at restraining
lion on the?' part of Barre, Berlin or
Montpelier, the Barre & Montpelier Trac
tion &, Power Co.'s order culling for a
lo-eciit fare over its iuterurhan line went
into effect this morning and passengers
who made the trip between the two cities
were charged the lo-cent fee. The new
fare represents an increase of four cents
over the fare asked by th traction com
pany since last summer. Five-cent fares
are collected in Barre, Berlin and Mont
pelier and early this afternoon it was re
ported that no one hud refused to make
the extra payment. Nor did the com
pany officials believe that travel over
the road had been materially reduced by
the new rate, although they admitted
that it is yet too early to gain any ac
curate idea of how the public feels in
the matter.
The high cost of living and traveling
receives another Iwost and with the ad
vent of the 15-cent fare, another chapter
is written in the story of the relations
between the traction company and the
ware company had been at work in the, public. From Berlin conies the strong-
basement thawing out the pipes. When
the fir? was discovered, the plumbers
had left, but it is surmised that one
of them accidentally set fire to an over
lay with his torch.
When householders sninoned the auto
:ire truck, the bla.e had worked its way
through two floors and had the appear
ance of being a roof fire by the time the
regulars arrived. A partition furnished
a flue for the flames and both the upper
and lower tenements were filled with
smoke when the firemen, starting in the
cellar, began to smother the fire with
chemicals and buckets of water. Per
haps a half-hour elapsed before the last
spark had expired. The firemen be-
lieve the blae must have smouldered
in the basement from earlv afternoon
until the hour when one of the upstairs
tenants, smelling smoke, investigated
conditions Widow and then communicated
with the fire station. Neither the Ven
ners nor the Stone family suffered any
loss, although all were inconvenienced
srcat.lv bv the smoke, insurance to cov
er the loss is carried by Mr. Reed in the
Pane agency.
Biting cold weather prevailed and the
journey across the bridge from the fire
station to "Little Brooklyn" made t lie
regulars shake in their boots. One man,
who lives in Romania square, said the
shaking firemen shivered the timlsrs on
the Prospect street bridge as they scat
tered across in the truck. The telephone
call came to fire headquarters at five
o clock
est protest against tiie increase, as a
costa a whole nickel to ride from the
city limits of Barre to the Montpelier
line under the present schedule. That
the traction people offer a round fare be
tween the two .cities for 25 cents does
not bring any large measure of solace to
Berlin commuters. The company gives
as the reason for ordering the increase
that the road is not self-supporting.
Recently the traction company was en
joined from charging more than five
cents within the city limits of Barre and
the supreme court upheld the injunction
older. Since last July, however, the
fare has been 11 cents from this city to
Montpelier, a collection of one cent be
ing taken in the town of Berlin when
ever passengers were willing to make
that sacrifice. People who claim the
traction company is not acting in good
faith with the public, and they are the
people who believe that the proposed
auto carriage line between the two cities
is going to "make good." say that inter
city traffic in no small vofunm will lie
diverted to the steam railroad. It is
known that a good many persons whose
business interests carry them back and
forth lie t ween Barre and Montpelier have
forsaken the electric road.
