W ESTON.

Last Friday night three places were
broken into by burglars, the blacksmith
shop, post-ofiice and Hannum' store. The
tools, which were borrowed for the Occa-
sion from the blacksmith shop, were found
in the morning on Partridge's stone steps,
making it evident that further depredations
were contemplated. Nothing of value was
taken but quite sensation was created.

BONNEVILLE.
The Annual BondvuIe Fair.


1t is estimated that nearly 5000 people
were at the fair which was held in this
place last Friday. The day was gorgeous
in all the glories of a September summer.
In floral hall there was good display of
fancy work, bed quilts and rugs; very
good show of vegetables and fruit; house
plants and cut flowers in great variety.
w. b. Eddy of Brattleboro was present
with the Estey organ, and l.. ID. Landman

purely farmers show, but it interested
many kinds of people-business men, fair
experts, genuine farmers, small boys, peo-
pie who wanted to hear the band, to meet
old acquaintance and make new ones, and
many hundreds of others who were there
with no fixed purpose, and did nothing in
particular and went home hungry and tired,
but perfectly satisfied and unanimous in
the opinion that the Bondville fair was a
magnificent success

THE FORTIFICATION BOARD.
Its Recommendations Approved by Acting
Secretary Grant

Its Recommendations Approved by Acting
Secretary Grant
Acting Secretary Grant has Just approved
the recommendations made by the fortifica-
ton board at its recent meeting in New York
They include an allotment Of $2,SlS for the
completion Of the Woodbridge wire-wrapped
gun. The construction of this gun was COM
menced two years ago, but work upon it was
stopped because Of lack of funds. Some re-
markable results in the points of endurance,
velocity Of projectile and Gghtness of this type
Of gun secured by the Russian ordnance officers
has again attracted attention and led to a re-
newal OF the experiments made some years ago
in this country with Dr.. Woodbridge's gun
The board also made small allotment to defray
the expense OF a survey in connection with the
selection Of sites for mortar batteries for the
defense Of San Francisco. The most important
recommendation which was asapproved. however
is that the chief of ordnance be authorized to
construct some of the new l2-inch rifles of
forty calibeys length. The extreme length of
these heavy guns, SO far designed in the United
States, has been about thirty-six feet but some
Of the European gunmakers have constructed
guns of this caliber tiftyfeet long 1t is believed
that the result SO attained will justify the ex-
tension Of our Pinch guns to a length of forty
feet, and the boards recommendation that the
experiment be tried has secured the assent of
the department.

As predicted in The STAR several days ago,
II ealth Officer Townshend has been asked to
send In his resignation, to take effect August l.

write the following letter to DR.. Townshend:
'The Commissioners direct me to request that

1t will be recalled that in The SrAR's ac-
count of a subsequent meeting of the board il
was agreed that DIR. Townshend would be
given a month in which to give up his Office.
The truth Of this statement was verified by
the following letter sent to him today by the

"Ihe Commissioners direct me to request
you to tender to them before the expiration of
the present month your resignation of the
office OF health officer. to take effect July 81,

tion to this matter have been carried out to the

THE SIGNAL OFFICE,
Changes Made to Accommodate the New Or.
der of Things.

Changes Made to Accommodate the New Or
der of Things.
Gen. Greely, chief signal officer of the army,
has issued an order making changes in the di-
visions of his Office to facilitate the separation
of the military signaling branch of his Office
from the weather bureau and the transfer Of
the latter to the Agricultural Department July
1. The station division, in charge of the OBJ.
servation stations, is to remain as at present in
charge of an executive officer and chief clerk,
and is to retain its present clerical force. A
new data division Is to be organized by CON-
bining the present record, review and drafting
divisions. 1t will be under chief and three
subchiefs, with clerical force. For the pres.
ent Lieut.. Glassford will be in charge. The
supply and miscellaneous division will have
charge of supplies, transportation. &C. The
correspondence division will be under the chief
clerk of the weather bureau. The forecast di-
vision will be in charge Of three professors
professor Of weather forecasts, a professor
Of cold waves and temperature changes
and professor Of floods and river changes.
professor and the library will be under a
librarian. An examining division will have
charge Of the accounts. The hthographic di-
vision will remain for the present IN charge
OF Nal. Dunwoody. AL tnese DIVISIONS Will
be transferred to the Agricultural Depart
ment, and will eventually be entirely in the
hands of civilians. The military signaling
branch Of the office, which is to remain in the
army, will also be recognized, with divisions
of military signaling and mastering. Capt
Craig, chief of the present supply and miscel-
laneOus division, will be the disbursing officer
of the new signal corps Capt. Knbourne will
relieve Capt. R. E. Thompson as chief of the
division OF military signaling, and the latter
officer will devote his entire time to business
connected with the War Department exhibit at
the worlds fair. Capt. James Allen will be
in charge of the mastering division, and will
be charged with the duty of enlistipg men for
the new corps, which is allowed but fifty.
Many Of those in the old corps have asked to
be transferred to the new, and many of them
will be 30 transferred. The requirements are
so high, however, that there will probably be
some difficulty in filing up the quota. Gen.
Greedy, the chief signal officer, will for the
present continue to act as chief Of the weather
bureau, but it is probable that civilian will
soon be appointed to that Office which carries
with it . salary of a, 500 per year.
