MORE VANDALISM.

EDITOR CALEDONIAN:-I would like to
say through your columns to the public
that acts of vandalism continue to be
perpetrated in this village. The past
week, in addition to similar things done
before, several of the stained glass Win
dows at the Church Of the Messiah have
been broken.
1t is now pertinent to make the further
inquiry, has the village of St. Johnsbury
become so infested with the hoodlum ele-
ment that public property is not safe?
And especially SO, that class of property
devoted to moral, religious, and benevo-
lent purposes? AS a citizen l find no
fault with the guardians of the public
peace, but l do find fault with those
needless parents who allow their boys to
roam through the streets at lmost all
hours of the night.
Parents, do you realize the situation !?
Do you realize it may be your own boys
who are doing this mischief? Do you
realize that when they are apprehended,
as they surely will be, that the law will
have but little mercy for them? know
not whether it be boys or older persons
who have done these yaudal acts, but l
do know that large number of boys
have their heads at night, and, appar-
entity, their parents know nothing what
they are up to, and care less.
Only few evenings since, a missile Of
some kind was thrown at window in
the writer's house. We mention this
simply to show that those who do these
malicious deeds to property might be led
to burn the home over your head, or
knock out your brains with slung-shot
F. V. POWERS.

THE BLACK CROOK.

This famous spectacular drama will
be presented at the Opera House next
Tuesday evening. 1t ran all last
winter at the Academy of Music at
New York and it is one of the best
known plays on the boards. The
scenic display is worthy of especial
attention, and when it is stated that
two entire cars are filled with the
magnificent proofs of several distin-
guished artists, it is guarantee that
the production surpasses any former
attempt in that direction.

THE STREETER Sc.

William S. Streeter of Minneapolis
has had another trial and the jury
have disagreed and Mr.. Streeter is a
free man. So much interest is at
tached to this case that the GALE
DOMAIN reprints elsewhere an opinion
from Minneapolis paper favora BILE
TO Mr.. Streeter. Whether or not the
people of St. Johnsbury agree with
the article, it presents the other side
of the question, which our people
have seen very little about.

The next generation will probably be
much healthier through the introduction
and use of open fires. An instance of the
great extent to which the fire on the
hearth is now carried, is shown in the
enormous industry in wood nantes
The headquarters of this wood mantle
trade is Paine's Furniture Co., 4S Canal

other warerooms can be seen the very

At y O'Clock yesterday the young
woman was in her room, which is No. 8,

ments later well-kRown colored
"tough" named John Williams entered
the room. He first accused her OF ira
proper relations with another ool0rsd
man and afterwsrd desired her TO
accede to his wishes. She objected to
mis- proposals and ordered aim to leave.
Without any warning Williams drew
g knife and rushed upon the girl, stab
bling her in the left shoulder and in the
neck, cutting a deep gash four snches
long. She screamed for help st She top
OF her voice, but the enraged hsnd
grabbed her and again attempted TO cut
h3r.
In her attempt to eaospe his murder
ous clutches she tried to rRise the win
dow, but failed. Williams rushed upon
her and showed her through the win
dow. breaking the g!sas into thousand
pieces. Her clothing iMpeded her fall

tinued by throwing the young woman
out on a small roof just beneath the

THE GRAND JURY.
Some Speculations With Regard to
School Board Affairs.

Some speculations With Regard to
School Board Affairs.
There is a very general impression
afoat among the citizens that the pres
ent grand jury will perhaps indu lge in a
little mild scoding with regard to the
affairs OF the board of education and
then let the subject drop.
Some three weeks ago the grand jury
had City School Superintendent Brown
up before them and put him through a
cursory category of conundrums, and it
is likewise said that they have made
some inquiry to demonstrate whether
the figures with regard to the purchase
of library books by several brilliant
members of the school beard were
authentic or not. The figures in ques-
tion showed that the board in buying
books at wholesale was paying nearly
double the rates that the same books
could be purchased by tendsrfoet at
retail rates. The data then submitted
as well aa other points indicated that
the books and accounts of the school
board might develop some valuable
points for grand jury dssireus of rsn-
dering a good account to the public.
There are many citizens who weuld like
to know if the grand jury has made any
examination at all of ths accounts OF
the school board.
