CAR LOADS OF GLASS.
Athol Slowly Recovering From Its Can
nonading of Ha |.

Atho Slowly Recovering From Its Can
nonading of Ha |.
Athol. June 26.-The people of Athol
are recovering from the surprise and
wonderment at the hail storm of Sat
urday afternoon, and are busily en-
gagged in repairing the damage which
has resulted from the ten or fifteen
minutes of cannonading of the icy
balls. Never before has there been
such sight witnessed in this part of
the country, even by the Oldest inhab-
itants.
1t is difficult at this time to tell what
the damage will amount to, for there
is hardly a building from the large
shops and blocks to the smaller dwell
ing houses but what has suffered more
or less, and it is not only from the
breaking Of glass, but there are many
buildings that the shingles We're
stripped from to such an extent that II
will necessitate their reshingling, while
many tin roofs were punctured to such
a degree as to cause many leaks.
1t is stated that three carloads OF
glass have been ordered to repair the
damages. James Sutherland, owner of
the greenhouses on South Mai nstreet,
estimates his damages at $500. In addi-
ton to the shops and blocks mentioned
in the Sunday Spy, as being heavily
damaged, are the 1. S. Starett shops,
the Chronicle block and Pequoig House.
The fine memorial windows Of the
Methodist Church, as well as the
stained glass windows of the Second
Unitarian Church, are punctured in
many places, and all the glass on the
south side of the Catholic Church was
smashed. At the lower village one of
the hail stones went entirely through a
corrugated iron roof. In the upper por-
ton of the town the ground is strewn
with leaves, branches of trees and
pears, apples and other fruit, and one
citizen tells of the stones coming
through his windows and striking the
further side of his dining room as large
as base balls.
Many gardens are also in a dilap-
idated condition, and a conservative es-
innate Of the damage to the town can
not be set at less than from six to
eight thousand dollars. AS near as can
be learned, the hail storm did not ex-
tend over a territory much more than
two or three miles in width, and per-
haps ten or twelve miles in length.
Cows that were in the fields and re-
ceived the force of the icy balls, were
reluctant to leave their barns the next
morning.

A TOOTER WANTED.
Clinton Department
Prefer 1t To
a Bell.
THE COMING SHAM BATTLE.
Great Preparations on Foot
to Receive the Emmets
of Worcester.
THE COMING SHAM BATTLE.

Clinton, June 26.-The insurance COM
mittee of the Clinton Business Mems
Association is considering the request
of the fire engineers, that the vote of
the town to expend $500 for a fire alarm
bell be rescinded. The engineers wish
to expend the money on whistle to be
placed at the Lancaster mills, and for
such other purposes as the good of the
department demands.
The insurance committee has its
doubts. When it was proposed to have
the bell the committee met the board
of underwriters in Worcester to see II
the extra protection would have any
effect on insurance rates. The under
writers expressed the idea that better
rates could be given if the bell was put
in. They were afraid that the single
alarm system now in use might give
out at a critical moment and great
losses result.
The committee does not know how
the underwriters will feel about the
whistle. They are going to find out. If
the whistle is as satisfactory as the bell
the article will have smooth travelling
in town meeting. If the reverse is true,
it is likely the business men will OPP
pose its passage.
The Sterling Band will play on Fourth
of July in this town. The Lancaster
Band cannot be engaged. Thomas
Dawson Tate, chairman of the band
committee, made this announcement
today This Is a return to the action
originally taken by Mr.. Tate. Joseph
E. Harrity a member of the commit =
tee, thought the Lancaster band should
be engaged, Mr.. Tate was willing that
it should be. AS it turns out, the COM
mittee would now be hustling for music,
if it had not been for the forethought
displayed by M. Tate in engaging the
Sterling band, before it was snapped up
by some other community, as most of
the bands in the vicinity have, includ-
ing the towns own band.
Great preparations are being made
here by the soldier boys to receive the
Emmett Guards when they come to par
ticipate in the sham battle. The con-
tributions to the celebration fund have
neen so liberal the committee can am
ply afford to meet the extra expense
for ammunition. The sham battle will
be much better worth seeing, the COM
mittee believes, with two companies
participating than with one. Many
people are expected from Worcester to
see the battle, and many are coming
from Hudson, Marlboro and Fitch
burg.
The inquest ON the death of w. E.
Fyfe and Mrs. e. l.. Plummer will take
place in the district court room Thurs
day or Friday Of this week.

Edwin P Cooper, son OF John M and
Elizabeth G. Cooper, was born at New
port, Ky, October 10, 1851, and died
November 80, 1899, aged As years, l
month and 20 daye. He was married
to Miss Anna Barnes August 9th, 1887.
She died May Sth, 1888. leaving an in
FAINT daughter, a few days old, who still
survives, mourning today both father
and mother. He was a kind husband
to the wife who was taken Sd soon from
him and devoted to his little daughter,
Anna. As son he was kind and ten
der to his father and mother, who,
though feeble, still linger while one by
one their children pass over. Many will

call.d hy his associates, with kindly
feelings. He was polite and kind to all,

l. grave The many who visited him
durni his last sickness or attended the
funeral rervices at his home, spoke their
remembrance of him During his suf-
fering he did not complain, but bore it
patiently. To the Rev. Phillips, who
visited him often, he explained himself
freely, saying that he realized his condi-
tod and was ready for the change, and
he trusted Him who said, II will not
leave thee or forsake thee" To his aged
parents and loved ones who linger We
would say:
He will not blame the sorrows, while he brings
the healing balm
He does not chide thy longings, while he
soOthes them into calm;
And when thy heart is murmuring, and wildly
asking why
He smiling beckons forward, points upward to
the sky
he will not always answer thy questions and
thy fears,
His watchword is, "Be patient, thy journeys
end is near ~
And ever through the toilsome way he tells Of
joys to come,
And points the pilgrim to his rest, the wan

AMERICAN TRADE IN AFRICA.
The Products of the United states Arc
Found Everywhere in the
Trnnsvacl.

The critical condition of affairs in
South Africa gives special interest to
a report from Consul General Howe,
at Cape Town, to the state department,
giving details of trip he has made
to Pretoria and Johannesburg in the
Transvaal, to the Kimberley diamond
mines and through the Orange Free
State. His report is most gratifying in
showing that American goods are in use
on every hand. the railroads. mines.
farms and homes being equipped with
American products. He says also that
American citizens hold many of the
leading positions. The consul says a
merchant at Durham said to him:
~ recently ordered five tons of hoop
iron of an English manufacturer. Aft
er the order had gone forward one of
your American statesmen came along
and made me price ten dollars per ton
less, and l gave him an order for five
tons and tried to have the English or
der cancelled, but the English house re-
fused, and in their reply stated that no
one could make and guarantee first
class article at the price named and
test would prove it, When the iron
arrived I tested both and the Amer
lean was several per cent. the best"
He then adds: II could fill several
sheets with just such agreeable state

RICH ORE STRIKE.
Mining Experts Enthasiastic Over .
Find in the hex Gro1p at Lead
VILE, Col.

A rich strike was made the other
afternoon on the NJ. N. fraction between
the Archer and Glen Gary consolida-
tions, and adjoining the Uncle Sam
claim of the Ibex group, at Leadville,
Col, which has so miles of workings
and $5O,Oo0,OoO in sight.
At depth of 545 feet the shaft has
cut good chute of high grade of iron
sulphide ore, carrying IS ounces of sill
yer, high percentage of iron excess
and 7-1O0 in gold. Mining experts say
this is one of the large ore chutes from
the Ibex and that it will produce mil
lions of dollars.
The mine was located in 1890, and
since that time ii has been worked on
a cooperative plan by comparatively
poor men, all local business men. These
large mineral deposits have been ex-
tending north, and only recently
big strikes were made in the Lit
tie Bob and the Reindeer. and the sup
ply seems to be inexhaustible.

WINS IN TAX CONTEST.
An Assessment of s038,276 IL Cut
Down More Than Half by
Judge Barnard.

Justice Barnard, Of Poughkeepsie, N.
T., has granted the application of John
ID. Rockefeller for reduction of more
than $350,00O on his Mount Pleasant
assessment of 1897. In that year Mr..
Rockefeller was assessed $639,275 for
27 tracts Of land in Mount Pleasant
township. Judge Barnard, in his de-
cision, orders this valuation to be re-
duced to $393, ,432.5O. Mr.. Rockefeller's
lawyer received the decision and filed
1t in the Westchester county clerks
office in White Plains. In his decision
Judge Barnard says the property Of
Mr.. Rockefeller was assessed in 1894 at
$14l,950, in 1898 at $159, ITO, in 1896 Mt
$274,400, in 1897 at $639,275.
"The testimony of the witnesses" he
says, "as to the value of the property
varied from $4,000 to $735,OOO."
After calling attention to the increase
OF 70 per cent. in 1896 he states:
"In that year it was proven there was
a great disturbance in the board of as
SCISSORS by the election of new man.
Proof is given tending TO show that he
promised to violate his duty to act
fairly, and to act unjustly in relation
to the relator, and the referee has found
the promise to be true"
