BARRE.

Barre, July Sat the special town
meeting, held a few days since, the
town voted to waive it's right to con-
tract for the construction of a section
of state road and authorized the state
highway commissioners to proceed
with the work. Engineers have al
ready laid out the bounds and the con-
tract will be let in a short time. The
work will commence at the end Of the
section laid two years ago, and will ex-
tend nearly to Rice's grist mill on the
road leading to the Barre stations, and
will be about one and one-half miles in
length, thus giving us good hard
road to the depots.

NATIVE CURIOSITY
Asks Endless Questions
About a Motor
Wagon.

Millbury July ga motor wagon ap-
peared on the streets of Millbury this
noon, and created quite stir.
The wagon stopped at the Town Hall
square and tried to fix a punctured
front tire. In a short time a large
crowd gathered and commenced to ex-
anime the wagon at distance. AS
their courage increased they drew
nearer and then they began to ask The
driver questions about the way it run,
how many miles an hour it would
travel, what was the motive power
where did he come from and where
was he going, and such like, until he
must have thought himself a conduc-
tor on the Worcester and Suburban
road, with his car off time on a
switch.
AS soon as the tire was repaired the
driver mounted the seat of the wagon
with unusual activity and applied the
power, and was soon speeding up Main
street towards Worcester in a cloud
of dust.

RECORD BREAKER.l
Special Town Meeting in Leicester Ad-
journs In Four Minutes.

Leicester, July 5.--A special town
meeting was held this evening at the
town hall. Nine people were present,
including two reporters. The clerk
cast one ballot for w. A. Bell as mod
orator.
A committee of three was appointed
by the chairman to arrange for adopt
ing town seal to report at the annual
meeting. The members are A. e. Booth,
H. E. Sargent and Edw J. McDermott.
1t was voted to authorize the select
men to take the contract for construc-
ton Of state highway from C. w. Bau-
der's to the Spencer line.
Supervising Engineer c. A. Johnston
of the state highway commission, with
the board of selectmen, went over the
proposed route today. The highest fill
will be ] foot 10 Inches in the middle
of the street, and owing to the way the
road is dished at present will amount
to ill of about 10 inches at the sides.
The deepest cut will be about foot for
200 feet.
The meeting was a record breaker in
many ways. Town Clerk A E. Booth
timed the meeting as being over in four
minutes, which is the shortest ever
known. The meeting was the first
unanimous one held in town for years.
The attendance was also the smallest
for some time.
The famous Leicester deer has dis.
appeared from view and no wild animal
has been noticed on the principal streets
of the town until today, when a wood
chuck was discovered on the concrete
sidewalk on the north side of Main
street. George H. Waite, H. A. David
son and William Woods, Jr., tried to
catch the animal, and it ran up Main
street, with the men in hot pursuit
Waite's dog seized the animal, but drop
ped it after the "chuck" had fastened
its teeth on the CANNES nose. Finally
the animal was caught in Dexter
Knights yard between stone step and
the piazza.

OXFORD STIRRED.
Chester Stafford of
Providence Is
Missing.
He WAS LAST SEEN MONDAY.
Believed to Be Drowned
in Sacarett Pond
While Bathing.
he WAS LAST SEEN MONDAY.

Oxford, July 5.-The residents of the
town are stirred by what is believed to
be one of the saddest drowning acct
dents that have occurred in town for
many years.
The victim is believed to be Chester
Stafford of Providence, who was visit
ing with Kendall Marcy, as has been
his custom for the last five years. He
is about Is years DID, and has been at
the Marcys about two weeks. He left
the house Monday afternoon a little
after 8 o'clock, but did not tell his
destination. About o'clock Mr. Marcy
sent Irving Johnson to Sacarrett pond
to see If Stafford was there bathing.
johnson saw nothing of him.
Mr.. Marcy knew that Stafford had
intended leaving in a few days, and
thought that he had gone home, al
though he thought it strange that he
had not spoken of it,
This morning, Marvin NJ Robinson
and Leon Rich went fishing at the
pond, and while there saw some cloth
Ing and a bicycle in clump of black
plrcneS near the dam, but did not go
close to them, as they thought some
one was in bathing. When they left
the pond at 11.30 o'clock, they saw the
clothing still there, and became con-
WINGED that something was wrong.
They took the money and watch from
the pockets and carried them to c. B.
Sherman, chairman Of selectmen, who
rotified Deputy Sheriff Glare OF Web
ster, who came in the Afternoon.
1t was not known to whom the
clothes and wheel belonged until they
were recognized by Walter Levitt rs
belonging to Stafford. Later they were
identified by Marcy, who telegraphcd
the boys father, ]. r. Stafford of
Providence, to come at once. Walter
Levitt, Edward Keastard and Walter
Blanchard went out in a boat and
dived, but failed to find body. Later,
c. B. Sherman got graphing irons and
Byron Clark and Keastard took the
boat and grappled for the body. Up to
the present time it has not been found.
Edward Perry of Texas, while riding
home last night on his wheel, was
thrown near Cemetery hill by the
breaking of the front forks, and had
his ear badly cut and was shaken up.
Three new cars for the Worcester
and Webster Street Railway Company
arrived today.

THROUGH ROUTE TO THE ORIENT

The trend of events is making Amer
lea every year more and more the west
ward overland route betwixt Europe
and the far Orient, and turning our
own stream of trade. and traffic more
the Pacific coast. The New York Gem
trail lines are naturally receiving the
main body of the new patronage. The
wonderful comfort, and speed of their
trains, the directness of their connec-
tons and their regularity and reHa,-
biiity are the factors that determine
this. Nothing so impresses the traveller
from abroad as the superiority of our
railway travel, and the New York Gem
trail is largely entitled to the credit or
this good opinion, for that is the trans
continental Line they see most of.-Out-
ing, April, 1899.

Billy Moran Says He Will Run No More
This Season.

For several days past there have
been rumors of match race between
Billy Moran Of the high schools and
Jere Moynihan of Holy Cross at half
mile. Moran intends to give up run
ming for the summer He has secured
situation which he will retain during
the vacation period, and will re-enter
the high school in the fall He said
yesterday he will do no more running
this summer. Moran ran In the half
mile on Boston common, Tuesday, and
won second to Dick Grant The latter
was scratch man, and Moran had five
yards start He let the field get a con-
siderable distance ahead of him, and
allowed Grant to jump him by several
yards. He then tried to finish, and
went past the entire field, giving Grant
a good race for the tape. Grant beat
him out few yards. Moran's friends
think II he had made the sprint sooner
he would have overtaken Grant, and
won the race. The time was about 2:O2
which is fast going for the runners
travelling on grass and a track not
level.

The VENEZUELAN TRIBUNAL.
Sir Richard webster Resumes His
Speech in Behalf of England

Paris, June 29.-In the course OF Sir
Richard Websters resumed speech in be-
half of England before the Venezuelan ar
bitration tribunal there was a lively dis
cussion respecting the manner in which
venezuela had made use of isolated quota
tions from documents to support her case,
the documents referring. to the stranding
OF Dutch ship in 1894 close to the Es-
quibo River The matter was referred to
at the time by Dutch jlrists, who ruled
that the territory where the ship went
ashore was Spanish Venezuelan and Ven
ezuela cited this in support of her claim
Sir Richard said this view was not borne
out II the whole documents were consid-
cred. Venezuela had not submitted these,
but the tribunal ought to examine all IL
they accepted the extract. Former Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison objected, holding
that the documents could not be put in
Baron Russell thought the court could
scarcely rely on part of the documents
when it was contended that the whole al
tered the significance.
Sir Richard Webster said he would sub
NIT the documents to his learned friehds.
He trusted that when they examined them
they would not oppose their being cited
II they still opposed them he reserved the
right to make application to the court for
permission to cite them.
Chief Justice Fuller said he presumed
Sir Richard did not suggest bad faith on
the part of Venezuela. Sir Richard as
sursd him that such an idea had not en-
tered his mind. The court then adjourned
until July 5.
