The Central Vermont Railroad company got an order Saturday afternoon to prepare to start the rest of the Vermont troops for the front at short notice. The war department issued a general order Saturday afternoon that all the remaining militia throughout the country which have not yet been sent to Mexico, entrain immediately upon receiving orders. When the 12 companies of infantry went off to the border, the orders to the railroad and Adjutant-General Lee S. Tillotson arrived almost simultaneously, but the departure of the regiment was delayed about 36 hours pending the arrival of equipment. It is expected that the headquarters, supply and machine gun companies, as well as the provisional company at Fort Ethan Allen will leave tomorrow or Wednesday.

The actual order had not reached the hands of the adjutant-general up to last night. Captain B. S. Hyland of Rutland, commanding officer at the camp and head of A company, said the order to entrain had been expected ever since the railway received its order. But the war department issued an order, still in effect at this writing, that the militia could not leave until they were fully equipped.

The general order to the National guard of the country in the first place was that no company of militia could depart until it was fully equipped and at minimum or peace strength at least. The four companies are strong enough numerically, but still lack the ponchos, mosquito bars and bed sacks, of each for every enlisted man, required for summer and winter service. The recruiting stations at Morris-ville, Middlebury and Bennington, will probably remain open until the militia of Vermont reaches its full war strength, recruits being received at Fort Ethan Allen. Only 25 or 30 men have taken the oath at the three stations in addition to about 10 at the fort since the new period of recruiting began. No information has come to headquarters so far that the stations would be discontinued, and there is no, reason for doing so as long as the regiment is not at its full war quota.

WASHOUTS AT ORLEANS Several Caused In Vicinity by Heavy Rains and Traffic Held Up-Some Stores Flooded. Orleans, Aug. 9. Severe rainstorms Tuesday afternoon and during the night were the cause of the breaking of the dam at Hiram Allen's ice pond. The water poured forth in torrents, damaging the slaughter house owned and operated by Smith Jenkins of this place.

In its downward path it swept across the railroad track, causing severe washouts which held up trains for 12 hours, making it necessary to carry by. One washout, near Alfred Brown's, between Orleans and Coventry was 100 feet long and five feet deep and the other just above the Veneer mill was not as bad but much work on the steep bank where it was badly washed will be necessary before it can be left. On Main street the water backed up filling the cellars of Twombley and Colton and Smith Jenkins and spoiled some merchandise stored in them. The road from Willoughby Lake was impassable for automobiles and a bad washout near the Catholic church on the road to Barton necessitated a detour. DROWNS IN CHAMPLAIN.

Stephen Rhicard, 18, of St. Albans Couldn't Swim and Misjudged the Depth of Water. St. Albans, Aug. 13.

Stephen Rhicard, 18, was drowned in Lake rTiamnlQln aKnut 9 9ft rtr1rtlr i1a aft. ernoon, when, clad in a bathing suit and believing the water was shallow he jumped from the boat in which he had been rowing with a party of girls. He could not swim. The young man had been camping at the lake with Mr. and Mrs.

A. S. had lived more or less since he was a small boy. In the afternoon he and a party of girls went out in a rowboat. When about 75 feet from shore he jumped into the water just ahead of the boat which he evidently believed was not over his head.

Upon striking the water he called for help. At first the young women thought he was fooling as he haoV been just previously, but as he failed to come up they called for help. Boats put out from shore but owing to the strong wind that was blowing it was impossible to hold the boats in place. The body was recov ered by grapples an hour and 15 minutes afterwards. A pulmotor was used without success.
