The small pavilion at BARRIERS park
occupied by John Black as a lunch and

about IL o'clock Sunday night. The
fire is supposed to have originated
from electric wires in the interior Of

hard work the large dance pavilion
was saved and the trees were not
badly injured. Both Mr.. Black and
the electric road were partially in

questions which have been brought up
in the Sampson-Schley controversy.

navy department that his evidence
was wanted in the hearing and would
be Of more value If it was not known
previously.
Stephen Hogan, brakeman in the
Fitchburg railroad yard, met with a
serious accident Saturday, whereby he
lost his right arm at the elbow. The

noticed that the cars would strike to-
gether too hard. He ran to get on to
set the brakes, when in some UNI
known way he stumbled and fell on
the tracks directly under the moving
cars. His right arm fell over the
track and was cut almost completely
off just below the elbow. He was
taken to DR.. ]. T. Ruddens office,
where Drs. Ridden, O'Connor and
Hill amputated it.
The Bellows Falls canal company
began work the first of the week In
Towns hotel, an architect being there
making plans for remodelling the
building to suit the present need of
Bellows Falls for hotel facilities. It
is not understood that anything def
mite has been decided, but different
plans are being made and, with costs,
being submitted to the company for
consideration. The company has
simply found that no good proprietor
could be found willing to take the
hotel as it now stands and plans are
being made looking towards rebuild
ing the present block, and if neces.
sary building a large addition on the
rear for kitchen and dining room ia
cilities.

Dangers of Cocaine.

THE vice of cocainism is spreading
alarmingly among the poor as well as
the rich" says DR.. Thomas D. Croth-
ers, of Hartford, Conn. He character
ICES it as one of the three great
scourges of the world, alcoholism and
morphinism being the other two. It is
so cheap that in New Orleans and
other parts of the South and West it
can be freely purchased in five-cent
packages. The first effect of cocaine
Is to create a feeling of citation, of
greatly increased mental and physical
superiority and freedom from care and
anxiety. While it produces brilliant
activity of the mental faculties for the
time, the reaction is dreadful. After
the citation comes decisions. The vic
tim fears sudden attack. He is fear
tul OF accident and abnormally sus-
picious Of imaginary prosecutors.
Thus he lives alternately in a state OF
ecstacy or terror. Aside from the
purely physical effects, cocaine i'm
paires the judgment and weakens the
sense Of right and wrong. It's power
can be broken only by a great effort OF
the will.

SHAMROCK II. WRECKED.
King Edward, Aboard the Challenger,
Has Narrow Escanc.

"
England well-nigh lost her King We'd
nesday in the waters of the treacherous
Solent He was aboard Shamrock H.,
the Americas cup challenger, when a
vicious squall struck her broadside on,
ripped away her sails, tore out her masts
and left her helpless hulk, tossing on
the wind-lashed waves. For a time it
seemed that she must founder and sink,
so heavy was the gale, but she righted
herself after each blast and made the
harbor at Cowes in the tow of other
boats of the Upton fleet.
King Edward was on deck when the
wind struck the frail little yacht. He
was standing amidships when the top
mast and the mainmast fell about him
and the sails swept overheard into the
sea. His escape was miraculous.
Longer than an hour Shamrock was
at the mercy of the wind and for just
that long did King Edward hang over the
edge of the world. When the gale was
at its height and the boat was plunging
through the big seas, he threw himself
PROSTATE on the deck, clinging to the
stump of the mainmast to save himself
from being swept overheard.
While the yachts were maneuvering
for the start squat came without the
slightest warning. and the bowsprit of
the challenger was carried away short.
The extra strain thus thrown on the top
mast proved too much for the spar. 1t
whipped, broke and doubled off to lee
ward, carrying the whole weight of the
backyard and gear over the side in a
terrible tangle. Almost as the topmast
fell the great steel mainmast, weighing
more than two tons and carrying spars
and gear weighing an additional three or
four tons, toppled also.

nivaI of Bloodshed.
Murderous hate, inspired by an injus-
tice which he believed had been done to
his father in business matters, caused
Evert Conway Of Evansville, Ind, to kill
his neighbor and his neighbours wife, ia
tally wound a policeman and shoot two
other men. In his rage he killed every
cow in his neighbours stable, set the sta
bic on fire and just missed shooting his
own father when the latter trieS to in
terfere with him. He ended his bloody
course in his own home, where he shot
himself through the heart after the ell
tire police force of the city, numbering
fifty men, had surrounded the house and
made his escape impossible.
Conway's father recently sold a dairy
to the neighbor, Garrison, abd his son
didn't like it. He wrote several threat
ening letters to Garrison, but they were
disregarded. Sunday morning Conway
went to the stable where Garrison was
milking and shot him dead. He then
turned his gun on his father, who tried
to interfere. Mrs. Garrison ran into the
back yard and Conway shot her as she
descended the steps. He then barricaded
himself in his house, and when Police
man Wallis tried to arrest him, shot him.
A riot alarm was turned in and the en-
tire police department responded. Be
fore the police arrived Conway went into
his own home next door and kissing his
wife good-by, went upstairs and shot him.
