Bold Burglary This Morning.


About two o'clock this morning a
burglar entered the house of Arthur
Wilder on Main street and stole Il gold
watch and dress belonging to Miss
Jennie Giles. The burglar entered at
the dining room window on the north
side of the house, the window being mp
with screen in it. He went to the
room in which Miss Giles was sleeping.
She was awakened but was so fright
ened that she could give no alarm.
The fellow searched the premises but
so far as known secured nothing be-
sides the watch and dress and then left
the room. When Miss Giles recovered
sufficiently to give tho alarm the man
escaped. She describes him as above
medium hight, light build, dressed in
dark clothes and wore a slouch hat.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilder were absent from
home. 1t was light night and in ad-
dition to this there was lamp burning
in the hail.

Change of Time on the Railroads.

Next Monday, June 25, the summer
time tables go into effect on both rail
roads, and we call attention to the
schedules given elsewhere. 1t will be
seen that on the Passumpsic division
the time of winter trains is changed a
little and that the New York train
goes on at about same hour as last
summer, passing this place at 1910 a.
m. and 7.27 p. m. The morning mail
leaves this station three minutes later
than present time and the day express
going south two minutes earlier, and
the afternoon mixed IS minutes earlier.
Going north, the forenoon train passes
here at ii, half an hour earlier than
heretofore and the mail three minutes
later. Other trains at about same time
as present.
The most important change on the
Lake road is the addition of a passen
ger express train running on short time
from the Mountains to Maquam and
return. This train leaves Lunenburg
at 8.25 a. m., passes this place at 9.l5,
reaching Maquam at LILO p. m. Re-
turning, leaves Maquam at 200 p. M,
passing this place at 5.55, and reach
ing Fabyan's in the early evening.
this train takes the place of one mixed
train which has run in here in the
morning from both east and west.
The passenger mail train going east is
set back one hour, reaching this place
at 2.20 p. m. This train going west
leaves here at 3. IS p. m. instead of 3.25.
The three new stations which ap-
pear on the time table-Fairbanks,
Pumpkin Hill, and Bucks-are of NO
interest to the public, being simply
turn outs for trains to pass each other

RECENT DEATHS.

SANDFoRD.-Saada M. (Spear) Sand
ford, wife of Rev. E. T. Sandford ot
the Baptist church, died Friday morn
ing, aged 46. She had been an invalid
for some years and for the past two
weeks had been so low that her death
was expected at any moment. Mrs
Sandford was native of Warren, Me-,
where she married, March IL, 1868
Rev. E. t. Sandford. Some Is years
ago she sustained an injury to hel
spine caused by slipping on the ice
Congestion of the spine ensued and
| finally her brain became affected
When Mr.. Sandford first came to ST.
Johnsbury as pastor of the Baptist
church over I2 years ago, Mrs. Sand
ford took an active part in the work OF
the parish, gathering about her many
friends who priced her cOunsels and
who respected and loved her for her
many excellent qualities of mind and
heart. In 1883, her sickness assumed
more serious form and from that
time to her death she was unable to
participate in parish affairs, her mind
being clouded most of the time. No
children were ever born to her.
Funeral services were held at the
Baptist church Sunday afternoon, Rev.
N. w. AlgersOf Bellows Falls officiat-
ing, assisted by Rev. G. M. Lamson OF
the North church, Rev. Edward Fair
banks of the South church, Rev. G.. II.
Bailey of st. Andrews, Rev. F. E.
Dawson of the Free Baptist church
and Rev. j. It. Buzzell of Passumpsic.
Rev. T. P. Frost of the Methodist
church was out of town. Mr.. Alger's
sermon was from the text, CAT even
ing time it shall be light" the thought
being that many years in the shadow
were now followed by the light of the
evening time. Rev. Mr.. Fairbanks,
referring to the many present from
outside Mr.. Sandford's parish, spoke of
it as evidence of the sympathy felt for
one who had many times cOmforted
others, many not of his own fold. The
floral tributes were numerous and
beautiful, the young ladies' missionary
society of the church contributing a
pillow on which was the word Crest
and Mr.. and Mrs. o. FL. Henderson and
others, other pieces. At the grave the
children of the society cast in little
bouquets of flowers, and the services
as whole were very impressive.

Civilized, or Barbarous?

A good many people in this place
feel that the village trustees would not
only be justified in the act, but that it
is their imperative duty to appoint ex-
ira policemen enough to preserve the
peace of our town through the night OF
July Sd. The main reason for such ac-
tiOn is of course the protection of the
sick in the place. One evidence of civ
ilizatiOn is the care the government
takes of the weak and helpless. The
way this has been done for a few years e
past in this place has been simply bar
barous.

Fair Ground improvements.


At meeting of the officers of the
Fair Ground and Agricultural societies
Thursday, it was decided to make ex-
tensive improvements in the fair
grounds and Ezra Parks, Asa Living
ston and VIM. Higgins constitute the
committee having the matter in charge.
A new shed 100 feet long for cattle
will be put up. The present sheep
shed on the lower end of the grOand
will be fitted up into box stalls for
horses. Probably the most extensive
of the improvements will be road
that will make the circuit of the
grounds running behind the present
buildings and keeping out of the way
of all the crowds while the fair is in
progress. Minor improvements in and
about the grounds are also cOntem-
plated. Franklin Fairbanks has been
elected one of the directors of the fair
ground company in place of Horace
Fairbanks, deceased.

Over In tiIe Mountains.
The LittletOn Journal of last week
vigorously protests against the Boston
Journals statement that the White
Mountain region slowy recovers from
the frozen appearance of a cold spring.
The Littleton folks say that the noun
tain region is now and has been for
three weeks at it's very finest. AL
though it is true that even now there
may be seen patches of snow back in
the woods and on the northern noun
tain slopes, the valleys and hills are
most charming in their fresh spring
verdure, the grass, flowers and foliage
are never so beautiful as now, there
is not the dust and CRIME that prevails
more or less late in the season, and the
only wonder is that more visitors do
not choose this month for their vaca-
ton instead of waiting for the crowd.

Academy NOCeS.
The senior class passed a very
pleasant evening with Mr.. and Mrs.
Jonathan Ross Friday evening. Prizes
were given to two boys, first prize
for the best specimen of sewing and
the second for the poorest. The girls
also displayed their musical ability by
whistling Yankee Doodle, or rather
whistling at it, for 10 one could go
through without breaking down. The
best and poorest whistler also received
prizes.
The reception at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. G.. H. Cross Tuesday even
ing was very enjoyable occasion.
Some rowdies without brains enough
to play a real smart trick, crept up to
the back door and stole the ice cream
freezer and a can of ice cream. They
returned the can with a note express
ing their disapprOval of the favor.

Christmas. falling on the Sabbath,
was an unusually quiet day. There
were no unseemly demon STATIONS Of
mirth; no disorderly conduct; no
drunkness on the streets, but perfect
order was maintained throughout the
city, and all the churches were
crowded at the services.

flames got under full Roadway, the
building would doubtless have been
destroyed. The scholars all did good
work and soon put it out.
