The Panama Reaches Home.

New York, Nov. 8.-The transport
Panama from Santiago and Havana
about whose safety fears have been en-
tanned, creating great deal of excite
ment prior to her arrival at Havana, ar
rived in quarantine this morning
Captain Hanton of the Panama was
surprised to learn of the uneasiness re-
garding the safety of tho vessel. He
sed that shortly after leaving Santiago
he ordered tho vessel cleaned up be-
tween the decks and the result was that
numerous berths and other material was
thrown overheard.
This gave rise when they drifted
ashore to the report that the transport
had been wrecked.
The Panama had on board the bodies
of privates Taft, King, Undergrave,
Hockenser, Wheeler, Randall and
Greene of the 2nd Mass. and many sick
men on board,

A Kick.

One would Judge from the way the
Electric Road treats its patrons, that the
Directors thought the people of Barre
would stand anything, but the Direc-
tors may tumble to themselves some OF
these days, and find they are simply
paving the way for good satisfactory
suburban service over some steam rail-
road.
Sufficient cars are never run at times
of day when the rush comes and what
is more when there is an entertainment
at Montpelier not half the necessary cars
are run to accommodate people
The writer knows of good many
people who will not attend perform
ance at Montpelier for this very reason.
Only two cars were run down after
the performance last night and large
number Of people had to stand on the
sidewalks for about half an hour wait
ing for car to come down for them.
There is no good reason why when
there are cars in the barn they cannot be
used. Let them send down what they
have, then if not all filled the empty
ones could be stopped at tho barn.
BY all means give US better and more
satisfactory service at all times.
CITIZEN.

Regular Meeting.

The City Council met for regular
session last evening with all member.
present and Mayor Gordon in the chair
First. three building permits were
granted, then petition for light a,
the corner Of Harrington and Maple
Ave, was referred to the committee on
lights, The report of the same commit.
tee on the petition for light near the
corner of Elm street was against fur
nishing the light.
4 petition asking for hard wood
floor in Fireman's Hall was referred to
Fire committee. Two sewer permits
were granted, and then bylaws rcsula-
ting the use of books in the Barre Free
Library were adopted. The Mayor
submitted communication naming
Mrs. Louise Boyce as librarian and the
same was adopted.
The matter of grading on Foster St.
came up for discussion, next it was de-
cided to have those storerooms between
the floors of the city building finished
off. The progress being made on the
city hall came up for discussion. Per-
mission was granted 0. W, Averill to
replace old water pipe with new, and
then the question of salary for the
librarian was referred to the salary
committee.
A large batch of bills, aggregasing
several hundred dollars expenses for the
past month, was read by the clerk and
ordered paid. Alderman Durkee raked
siump again, reiter:ssiag that
it wus disgrace TO the city. Whom
told that the matter had been referred
to the Superintendent of Streets he re-
marked That's all right, but he hasn,
tended to it yet has h"?" The matter of
fixing special water rate for the Com
mercial House was referred to the
Water Commissioners.
The question Of who to recommend
for appointment as liquor agent next
came up and was discussed at length.
Notwithstanding the announcement re-
Gently made in a certain paper printed
here in Barre it appeared that no new
agent had been appointed, presumably
because the new commissioner has not
vet assumed the duties of his office.
The discussion revealed the fact that no
less than four different persons have
thought of trying for the position. viz;
George Towne, the present incumbent,
Israel Wood, 4. w. Cummings and l.. j.
Griffin.
1t was considered as strange that the
commissioner had not asked the City
Council to recommend man for ap-
pointment and it finally leaked out that
the commissioner had already made up
his mind who to appoint and would do
so irrespective of the wishes of the City
Council. OF course the city officials
can block any such game as that bv re-
fusing to buy any liquor for the agent.
A motion was made and seconded to
take an informal vote on the names OF
some of the candidates to see if the
council would recommend their appoint
ment. When they got this far the city
fathers recollected themselves and went
into executive session with the report
ers on the outside.

ROUND Up OF THIEVES.
Six Burglars Surrounded In a Massa-
chusetts Postoflice.
ONE Of THEM SHOT DEAD.
Bullets Make Things Lively For Both
captured and Captors-BattIe Ends
In Escape of Three and
Arrest of Two.
ONE OF THEM SHOT DEAD

| worcester. Mass, Nov. 8.-A gang o.
SIX burglars were surprised in the post.
ONCE az North Grafton by Constable.
Amos G. and w. Gatchell and George
Allen and Louis Demaris, who were
fired upon by the men inside. A general
fuslllade followed. Four of the gang
started to run away, and one of them
was fatally shot. Two others were cap.
tured inside of the building, and ths
other three escaped. The men captured
gave their names as Thomas McGrath
| and Lawrence Day. They were hand
cuned and. under strong guard OF
citizens who had been attracted by the
firing, were held.
The body Of the dead burglar was not
found for some time. 1t was lying fiat
on the back about ten rods from the
postof1ice building with a bullet wound
In the chin. The man had bled freely
from the mouth and nose, and it was
evident that he had fallen where he
was found soon after being struck by
the bullet. The prisoners seemed much
affected when told that one of their
companions was dead and cursed the
officers for firing to kill, when the MEM
oers OF the gang were only firing into
the air without any intent to hit the
officers.
Later the prisoners pretended to know
but little about the dead man, saying
that they had met him at the north
end, in Boston, a few days ago. They
claimed they did not even know his
name, although they had heard him
called French Louie" The body was
placed in a barn in North sGrafton, and
Medical Examiner Robinson of South
boro was notified.
Taken to westboro.
McGrath and Day were taken to West
boro and arraigned In the district
court on the charge Of burglary. They
were held in the sum Of 80, 900 each for
appearance before the superior court.
Immediately afterward the prisoners
were brought to this city, and after be-
ing photographed they were taken to
the Waldo Street station house, thor.
oughly searched and closely questioned.
When captured, each of them was
found to be armed with a revolver, and
one of them had in his possession a
flask containing nitroglycerin. At the
search in this citya roll OF bills amount
ing to about SIS was found concealed
In one OF McGrathss ~stccAings. and
small amount of money was found in
Days possession. McGrath claimed to
have come from the west and said that
he had met Day only few days ago
and that they had fallen in with the
dead man a little later and had pro-
posed the burglary. They stoutly denied
that there had been any one else en-
gagged in the affair, but the North Graf
ton officers are positive that there were
three more men, who escaped.
Inspector O'Day thinks that the dead
man may be James Kenney alias
French" Kenney, alias George French,
alias George Franklin, also known
as French Louie This man escaped
from the Summer Street jail, in this
city, with several other prisoners. May
8, 1887, and was afterward arrested in
New Hampshire and served a five
years term in the Concord penitent.ary
for safe blowing.

Body of Earl Sheldon Recovered

The body of the boy, Earl Sheldon, who
disappeared from Burlington last February,
was discovered Saturday morning in Lake
Champlain floating outside the fiume and
close to the shore.
The body was almost covered by floating
rubbish, when it was discovered by young
boy named Frank Oyer at 7 o'clock. He had
been working in the cotton mill, and went
that morning to get work, but was informed
that there was no work for him. The boy
strolled back from the mill and when passing
near the mouth of the sewer it came into
his head to go and look for the lost boy. 1t
was only short time before his eyes fell on
the body as it lay on the top of the water.
and running to the Sheldon house on King
street, he informed the drowned boys father
of his discovery.
Sheldon was dressed in dark suit OF
clothes, knee pants, and a blouse. He had
on a pair of mittens and heavy Scotch cap
pulled down over his ears. The clothing was
carefully taken c if the body, which was some
what decomposed. 1t was not badly mutt.
lated, but there were few scratches and
bruises on it. There was scar on the back
of the head; the face had been pounded into
Jelly by floating ice cakes and the nose was
worn off by the ice. The flesh was black and
presented CHASTITY sight.
The reward for finding the body will be
given to the Oyer boy, it being 500. The
reward for $500 was for the return of the boy
alive.
Young Sheldon on the afternoon that he
disappeared was last seen on the street neal
his home, playing with some children OF has
own age. He stayed with his playmate:
until about 30, when he stepped into pud
die of water and got his feet wet. He theI
