MURDER in BARRE,

Patrick Brown, for several years patrol
man in the city OF Barre and who eight days
ago qualified as chief of police of that city,
was shot three times and fatally wounded
on Seminary street, Barre, at four O'Clock
this morning.
Chief Brown was patroling Seminary
street at the hour named when bullet fired
from behind his back, pierced his right
heel. AS he turned, TWO other Shots fired
at CROSS range, struck the officer in the
stomach and bowels.
Believing he was fatally shot, the
wounded man ran to the nearby residence
OF Rev. Father p. M. Mckenns, his spiritual
advispr Assistance was summoned, and
Mr.. Brown was taken to his home where
DIR. w. d. Reid probed for the bullets. The
one in the heel and one OF those in the
body were extracted. A third could not be
reached. Owing to the weakened condition
OF the patient from loss OF blood the surgeon
did not deem it wise TO continue probing.
DIR Reid has little hope OF the injured man q
recovery.
The men who fred the shots belong to
the Anarchist colony in Barre. Chief
Brown had a warrant in his possession for
the arrest OF two OF them named Bernacco
and SASH, for disturbing the peace at the
anarchists ball held last Saturday evening
They were aware that the officer was after
them and laid in wait for him with the de-
liberate purpose OF taking his life. The
daylight. They were taken before the
wounded man, who fully identified them
as the men who were following him. Fear
ing fatal ending OF the affair States At
torney Hoar also took Chief Browns depo'
sition.
Nothing in recent years has created so
much excitement in Barre as was shown
when news OF the assault passed swiftly
from lip to lip this morning. The citizens
OF Barre as a whole have long been morti'
| fed and ohagrined at the existence OF a
we'll organized gang OF anarchists in their
midst and the murderous assault this
morning has strengthened and brought TO q
head the determination to break up the Or
ganization and drive its members from the
Granite City. Chief Brown was a popular
officer In Barre, and had won his recent
promotion by bravery and merit. was espec-
tally popular with the firemen and dire
threats OF summary justice, should the off,

Blanchard block fire. Even more exciting
news from Barre at almost any hour would
not come altogether in the nature Of q sur
prise.
Primo Battaglia and Andrea Frediani OF
this city were arrested at the Pioneer viii

Constable Buchanan OF Barre on suspicion
OF being implicated in the shooting OF
Chief Brown and they are now confined in

FIRE IN BARRE.

AT six-thirty Thursday morning an explod-
ing gasolene stove in the restaurant of G..
II. Campbell in Blanchard block, Barre,
started fire that, before it was under con-
troll, practically ruined the block. burned
out three business firms, and caused loss
of at least $4,000.
In attempting to subdue the flames when
the stove exploded, Homer Cslkins, an EN-.
ployee in the restaurant kitchen, was ter
ribly burned about the hands, face and
neck. The girls employed in the restaurant
ran upon the street and gave the alarm.
The fire department, under the direction OF
Chief Phelps, did excellent work in con-
filming the fire to the building in which it
originated. The block adjoins the new city
building and at one time that structure was
in imminent danger.
The ruined building was owned by A. G.
Blanchard OF Montpelier and was valued,
with the land on which it rests, at $4,000.
The building is total loss. 1t was insured
for So, 500.
The occupants of the block were C. H.
Campbell, restaurant and fruit store, II. M.
Waterman, meat and produce market, and
George Il. Conner, wholesale and retail fur
niture dealer. Mr.. Conner carried a stock
estimated in value at from $4,000 to 49,
600. His loss is heavy. Fire, smoke and
water nearly ruined the goods in both
stories. Mr.. Conner was insured for 50, 900
in the Phoenix, the Home, and the Insur-
ance Company of North America, all repre-
sented by w. A. Drew. Mr.. Drew also
carried $1,000 on the stock and fixtures in
the Campbell restaurant. Mr.. Campbell's
loss in excess Of this is estimated at 81 800.
The j. w. Dillon insurance agency also
carried So 500 on the stock in Connor' 3
store.
Mr.. Waterman's loss was not 80 large,
but will reach 81 1900 or more, partially in
sured.
The building was covered with an iron
roof which greatly hampered the work OF
the fremen. At ten o'clock the fire was
practically under control, although the
firemen were on duty up to two o'clock this
afternoon to prevent any outbreak among
the smould ring ruins.
The total insurance on Mr.. Connor's
stock was $1,000, and on Campbell's stock
and fixtures, $4,000 distributed among sew
eral companies.

and harbors While the Nicaragua Canal,
the Warrior Canal, the Mississippi River
and its tributaries VIII be thoroughly dis

Gently between Savannah and this city,

A PREMATURE sURMIsE.
MisInid JeweIry at the Hoxie Resi-
dence Suggested burglary.

All was excitement last night at head
quarters ON the receipt of a report of a
robbery at the home Of Major ]. l..
Hoxie, L. s. A, 1892 X Street northwest.
1t was said that diamonds and tewelry
valued at several thousand dollars had
been stolen. Detective Horne and Boyd
were sent out in haste to investigate.
At the HoXie home ii was learned that
the family was preparing to move from
the city for the summer months. A
search was made for the diamonds and
jeweIry by the detectives, despite the
statements of the family that the prop
crty had disappeared. In a box. care
fully packed, the jewelry was found, after
haH an hour spent in the search. The
detectives then returned TO headquarters.
Major Sylvester had been informed of
the reported robbery early In the evening.
He is acquainted with Major Hoxie, and
knew the latter was about TO leave the
city with his family. 1t was not the be-
lief of Major Sylvester that a robbery
had actually occurred at the HoXie resi-
dence. On the contrary he told the de-
tectives TO search FIRST at the house for
the jeWelry, before se5Iding out a gen.
erai alarm for the goods. Developments
proved that Major Sylvester was right In
his surmise.
