Development Will Probably Be Com
pleted and in Operation Within IS
Months Force of Italians Quit
Work Because of Trouble.
MeeliiiKS of the Connecticut River
Toner companies of New Hampshire
and Vermont are being held today to
miike consolidations uoeessury for car
rying on the dam project and to at
tend to various routine business such
as ratifying contracts, etc. Henry I.
Harrimiui of Hyde Park, Mass., came
to Brattleboro last evening and Bt
that timo made public the following
formal statement relutive to the
bonds of the power company:
The bonds of the Connecticut
River Power company, recently
chartered under both tho laws of
New Hampshire and Vermont,
have been taken by the banking
house of Baker, Ayling & com
pany, 50 Congress street, Boston,
and' work for the developing of
tho power near Cooper's Point,
five miles above the Massachu
setts state line, will now be
pushed. Messrs. Chace and Har
rimun will be active in tho con
struction of the property, Mr.
Ilarrimnn taking the position as
general manager of the company.
Messrs. J. U. White 4; company of
New York have been awarded tho
contract to perform the engineer
ing mid do the construction work,
which is now under way. Each
week will undoubtedly see largo
additions to White 4c company's
force, and work will bo pushed
with all possible haste. The de
velopment as planned will consist
of a dam 23 to 30 feet in height,
power house with installation of
abut 17,000 II. P. in water wheels
and 10.000 to 12,000 kw in gener
ators. We expect the development
will be completed and in operation
within 14 to 15 months.
The exenditure of so large a
sum of money and also the devel
opment of this power in that sec
tion should mean a great deal to
southern Vermont and New Hamp
shire. Work at the dam site has not pro
gressed rapidly this week on account
of the wet weather but the men em
ploved on the project have been kept
bus'v whenever it was possible to
work. Thirty-three Italians who
have been employed on the job since
last week were given their walking
papers yesterday morning. The men
are all members of somo society of a
socialistic nature and refused to work
yesterday because some of their mini
ber did not have congenial jobs. Su
perintendent Hewius did not arguo a
great deal with the laborers but sent
immediately for money enough to pay
them off and let them go. The men all
came from Springfield, Vt., where they
have been employed by Crosby &
Parker. It is expected that a large
delegation of Italians will arrive in
Vernon next week to take the places
of those who quit.
During the past week the barn on
the Johnson place has been moved in
order to make room for a trestle at the
end of tho spur track which will be
laid within a short time. If tho con
tractors decide to buy crushed stone
from the West Dummerston quarry
this trestle will be extended to the
extreme edge of tho railroad embank
ment. It is possible, however, that
the contractors will establish a stone
crushing plant of their own.
TWO DROWNED IN CONNECTICUT
Boat Containing Three Laborers Cap
sized Above Wilder Falls Tuesday.
Two men were drowned in the Con
necticut river near White River Junc
tion Tuesday morning and a third nar
rowlv escaped the same fate. Stephen
Hall', Jerry O'Meara, and an Italian,
whoso name is unknown, in the employ
of the Cummings Construction com
pany, attempted by means of a small
boat, to carry a line across the river
-i . oKnnt ion feet above the
lower falls at Wilder, in order to
swine a cable across the stream. For
some unanown reasuu mo

panions but was unable to nna xuem.
The bravery of the Italian aroused
great admiration. w iij.c"
about 31 years old and was unmar

in Boston. Hall was 28 years old and
lived in Wilder. He is survived by a
wife and two children.
Death of Mrs. Royall Tyler.
Mrs. Royall Tyler, 89, died at mid
night Wendesday at her home at the
corner of Terrace and Tj'ler streets.
She had been in poor health all winter
and about Christmas time suffered a
paralytic shock. Since then . two
shocks had followed, the last one
about three weeks ago. Mrs. Tyler's
maiden name was Laura Britton Keyes
and she was the last of four children
of Asa and Sarah Britton Keyes. Her
father was one of the most promi
nent lawvers in the county and held
many positions of trust, being judge
of probate of the Westminster dis
trict, register of the Marlboro dis
trict and senator from this county.
Mrs. Tvler was born in Putney Aug.
22, 1N17, nuil lived in that town until
Kill when lier parents moveil to unit
tleboro which had since been her home
with the exception of two years after
her marriage when she lived in New
fane. She was educated in tho pub
lic schools here uud ut a private
school in Hudson, N. Y., being obliged
to miike the trip from hero to Hudson
and return bv stage. HIip wns married
to Royall Tyler April 2, 1S40, nnd tho
couple celebrated their golden wed
ding nuniversary in lS'UO. Mr. Tyler
was for many "years clerk of Wind
ham county and judge of the probate
court of the Marlboro district. He
died Oct. 27, IWKi. Mrs. Tyler is sur
vived by one daughter, Mrs. !. W.
Plntt of' Great Harrington, Mass., five
grandchildren and live great-grandchildren.
She ws a member of Mt.
Michael's Episcopal church and of the
woman's auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A.
Funeral services will be held this af
ternoon at 3 o'clock in tho Episcopal
church, Rev. D. L. Hanford of Bellows
Falls officiating. The bearers will be
Kittredge llaskins, James M. Tyler,
Herbert K. Taylor and Charles II.
Pratt. Burial will take placo in the
family lot in Prospect Hill cemetery.
Up' to the beginning of her last ill
ness Mrs. Tyler kept her mental fac
ulties to a r arkable extent for a
woman of her years. Her mind was
alert and she kept in touch with cur-r-nt
events by wide reading of maga
zines nnd newspapers. Her reliablo
memory enabled her to keep in mind
manv interesting incidents in connec
tion' with life in Brattleboro half a
ceiiturf ngo and she enjoyed telling
stories" of these times to her friends.
Mrs. Tyler had n strong character and
her cheerful disposition gave her op
portunities for getting tho best out of
life.
RICHARD GOLDEN
In The Poor Devil Makes a Hit at the
Auditorium.
A small audience greeted Richard

of players at tho auditorium last
evening. The actors, not at an ais

such life and intelligence into their
work that from the Btart to tne nuisn

gesture. One more success has been
added to the long list ot attractions
that have visited Manager Fox's play
house under the management of the
Shuberts.
Thf I'nnr Devil is a new plav bv the

genious comedy is based on the amus

inventor, that to save his daughter, he
has sold himself to tho devil liko

a few words to tho appreciative audi

here's hoping he'll come.

being made for the reception of Cap

Betsy first discovers that her tutor
and the much talked of brother of
Napoleon are one. Previous to this
discovery, her pride overcome by the
ardent wooing of her supposed tutor,
Betsy has confessed her love for him.
They are betrothed and the rest of
the play deals with the efforts of Na

Boston U Maine to Test Law Giving
Telephone Companies Equal Privilogee.
Among tho several acts of the legis
lature of liiofi, tho constitutionality of
which aro questioned, is Act No. 124,
which provides that railroad compa
nies, except street railroad companies,
doing business in this stato shall
grant equal privileges to all telephone
companies in the state, having not
less than 500 telephone connections,
for installing telephone instruments
iu tho railroud stations. Not long ago
the People's Telephone company of
Orleans county, huving about 2,000
subscribers, applied to tho Boston k
Maino Railroad company for the priv
ilege of installing an instrument in
the station at Barton Landing. Tho
request WMis refused.
The railroad company claims that it
hns an exclusive contract with the
New England Telephone & Telegraph
eompnnv, made before tho passage of
the Bet", and that the act impairs the
obligation of thnt contract. Tho rail
road company further claims that the
act requires it to devote its property
to another use than that required in
its charter and is therefore unconstitutional.

The most prodigious power of muscle
is exhibited by fish. The whale moves
with a velocity through a dense medium
of water that would carry him, if con
tinued, round the world in something less
than a fortnight, and a swordfish has
been known to strike his sword
through the oak plank of a ship.
