Attemnted burglary.

Last Monday night about II o'clock,
Mrs. William Higginson, who lives in one
off G. NJ. Cooks tenements on Kilburn
street, was awakened and aroused her hus-
band, who thought some one was on the
piazza. He partly dressed him and taking
his revolver went into the kitchen to look
upon the piazza. When near the window
a shot was fired which passed close to his
head and through the curtain and window.
Higginson saw man in the room, there
being a light which shone from the bed
room to the kitchen, and he aimed his re-
vOlver to fire at him when he was struck
on the head by a sand bag or some like in
strument by second man behind him,
which knocked him down. Higginson then
fired two shots at the men, who were
masked, but missed his mark as the men
made hasty retreat to the cellar. His
father by this time appeared on the scene,
and they went to the cellar expecting to
find the men there, but they had evidently
entered that way and carefully planned for
their escape as they had placed barrel
under the window so as to have an easy
exit. Some of the neighbors were Their
| aroused, but no clue could be found. Moth
ing was taken as they were evidently dis
covered before they had time TO explore

Memorial Day.

Another Memorial day has come and
gone. Each year sees some new made
grave, while the ranks of the living grow
correspondingly less. Interest in the OBJ
servance of the day does not decrease, but
on the contrary, seems to increase each
year. On Sunday, May 26, Rev. w. A
Estabrook preached an appropriate dis
course, the Grand Army post attending in
a body. On Thursday, the Both, G. B.
Lawton post assembled at their hall at 10
o'clock; at 1890 the line of march was
formed, headed by the Wilmington cornet
band, and marched to the Vermont House,
countermarched and escorted the orator of
the day, Hon. j. X. Batchelder, the presi-
dent of the day, David S. Ballou, and Rev.
w. A. Estabrook, to the Congregational
church, where the exercises were held.
The program included Scripture reading
by Mr.. Estabrook, music by a quartet,
Mrs. c. NJ. Russell, Miss Nellie Barnard,
j. II. Kidder and G. D. Spencer, and the
Grafton by Hon. j. X. Batchelder The
procession then formed under direction of
Col j. H. Goulding, marshal of the day,
and moved to the cemetery where the
Grand Army service was performed, G. NJ.
Russell acting as commander of the post.
The soldiers and their families then re-
paired 10 Ine post rOoln anu pdTJoOk VI d
bountiful Tepast. The band under the d.
rection of the new leader, Mr.. Price, rem
dered excellent music.
Mr. Batchelder's address was finished,
scholarly production, replete with thought
and patriotic sentiment. The speaker
traced the causes of the war from the earli-
est settlements in this country, showing
that sooner or later the terrible conflict
must come. His references to European
history were specially eloquent. Among
the lessons of the day urged were those Of
gratitude to the brave defenders of oul
country, of memory of their suffering, and
the greatness of their sacrifice, of appreca
ton of the blessings enjoyed because Of
their valor, of the lasting fame of theil
patriotism and of our obligation to render
to those living their just due in apprecia
ton and gratitude.

BOSTON, '95. !"

Announcements which are received of
the arrangements and programs for the
18th international Christian Endeavor con-
vention, to be held in Boston July 1915,
promise one of the largest, best-conducted
and most enthusiastic conventions the
world has ever seen. Doubtless many En-
deavorers are looking for and will gladly
read the following facts regarding the plans
for the great meetings. The sessions of
the convention will be held in Mechanics
Fair building, which will seat 5000, and in
two huge tents, to be known as Tent Will
liston and Tent Endeavor, each seating
10000, which will be put up on the COM
mon.
Some of the special features are here
suggested. The Wednesday evening meet
ings, which have become feature of these
conventions, will be held in 20 of Boston's
largest churches, addressed by some of the
ablest speakers of the country. Friday
evening will be Fellowship night" when
addresses will be given by speakers from
the United States, England, Scotland, Ire
land, China, France, Alaska, Wales, India,
Armenia, Japan, Persia and other foreign
countries. On Saturday afternoon will oc-
cur a conference of Floating Christian En-
deavor societies, which will be presided
over by Miss Antoinette p. Jones. A nov
ell feature, never before attempted at these
conventions, will be the MONDAY prayer
meetings in different parts of the city.
Saturday afternoon will be Junior session
at the hall, with a special Junior chorus OF
400 voices, a parade, etc.
The singing of the convention will be
led by chorus of 5000, which will appear
all together at the out-of-door mass meet
ing on the common Saturday, which will
be addressed by Gov. Greenhalge, on
Good citizenship The denominationa
rallies will occur on Thursday afternoon
and the committee conferences on Friday
afternoon.
But few of the names of the famou:
speakers who will be heard can be giver
here, but the list includes DR.. Russell II
Conwell of Philadelphia, Hon. John Wan
namaker, Hon. Neal Dow, d. L. Moody
DR.. Talmage, DR.. A. c. Dixon, Hon. Eli

President w. r. Harper, and a host o
others, including prominent workers from
England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia
India, China and Japan. The solemn con
secration service, which closes this con
vention, occurs Monday evening.
The headquarters of the Vermont dele
CATION will be at the Maverick House, il
East Boston, about 81 minutes from tn
convention hall, the rates being - cent
per day for room. The fare from Brattle
boro, as stated last week, is $3.50. 1t i
expected that a delegation of 800 or owe
will represent Vermont, and the total al
tendance will doubtless reach 60 900. Brat
tleboro expects to send large number Q
delegates, and Windham county will b

Fire at Perkinsville---theO owner Of the
Building Under Arrest.
The house owned by Farwell Davis at
Perkinsville was destroyed by fire on Fri
day night of last week. Mr.. Davis has
for several years resided in the north part
of the state, the house being unoccupied
with the exception of physicians office
on the lower floor. Mr.. Davis visited the
house on Friday and built a very hot fire
in one of the upper rooms, saying he in
tended to live there soon and wished to re-
move the dampness, then, leaving the
draughts to the stove and the doors in the
upper part of the building wide open, he
came to Weathersfield to spend the night,
en- route to his home at the north. About
ten o'clock fire broke out in the upper
story and it was impossible to stay its prog
ress although great efforts were made to do
so. Men who first entered the building
are positive that it was saturated with kerr
osene, both from the odor and the rapidity
with which the fire spread. The interior
of the building was wholly destroyed, also
a large portion of the physicians dental
and surgical tools. The water supply was
found to have been stopped. This and
other suspicious circumstances have led to
the arrest of Mr.. Davis, whose preliminary
hearing will take place at Perkinsville next
Monday.

Connecticut River at deep hole, at about =
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, by two
young men who were out fishing. Mr.
Stone had been missing from home since

Stone, who is an engineer of the New Ha-

going away for day or so at a time to Wis

Sunday search was made for him. The
body was entirely clothed when found, no
even the hat being gone. This gives the
family the belief that he fell in by acct
dent. The body was taken to Ludlow
