Thomas H. Barry Not Heard
From Since June II.
HAD CONSIDERABLE MONEY
Wrote from Dedham. Mass, to His
Wife in Barre Telling Her of
Receipt Of Valuable Papers
The Last Word


As efIectually as ii the earth had
swallowed him up, Thomas H. Barry,
formerly Of the firm Of Barry s. Will
liams, furniture dealers, in this city, has
disappeared Since June 17th neither
relatives police nor detectives have been
able 70 obtain any clue to lis where
abouts.
1t seems that previous to leaving
Barre, Mr.. Barry had been somewhat
discouraged in not obtaining an expected
position, but about the middle of MAY
he succeeded in getting work in Dedham.
Mass. From there he wrote encourag
ing letters to his wife in this city,
stating that he had congenia work and
satisfactory pay and was masking plans
for his family to Join him. Just pre-
vious to the time arranged for Mrs.
Barry to 80 10 Dedham she received
letter from her husband stating that
because Of a misunderstanding with his
employer be had given UP his job and
wished her to delay coming.
Mrs. Barry sent to her husband some
valuable papers on which she could not
realize cash without his signature. He
wrote that he had received the papers
and would deposit the money in bank,
taking out d bank book in her name
This is the last that has been heard
Of Mr.. Barry After waiting in this
city for d few weeks without receiving
any news from her husband Mrs Barry
went to the home of her brother in
Hartford, VT Police and detectives
have been on the case for several weeks
but as yet have found no clue
Air. Bauy's embalming tools are at
the place where he last worked and all
his clothes and personal effects are at
his boarding place 1t was learned on
inquiry that Mr.. Barry had obtained
the money on the papers but had not
deposited it. OF the many theories ad-
yanced regarding his disappearance the
fact that he had large sum Of money
on his person would lend strength TO
the theory Of foul play.
| Mrs. Barry was recently prevailed
upon by her relatives to consult clair
voyant. She was told by the clairgoy-
ant that her husband was in dazed
condition as the result of q severe rap
on the head, but that he was being we'll
cared for IN an institution. The clair
voyant gave her the address Of the chief
of police in Newton, Mass, who, it
was said, could give information cons
cerning Mr.. BaTy's whereabouts.
Although the police Of Newton have
been notified, as in fact have the police
| throughout Massachusetts, and notwith-
standing the persistent efforts Of shrewd
detectives, tile whereabouts of Tom
Barry have as yet not been determined.
In letters to friends in this city, Mrs.
Barry expressed the opinion that moth
ing but foul play could have caused
Mr.. Barry to 50 efectually disappear.

Alex. Campbell Died in COun-
ty Jail This Morning.
SERVING TWENTY DAYS
Was Alone at Time Of Death but Had
Had Attention Of a Physician
Earlier in the
Night.

Death this morning cut short the twenty
DAYS sentence which Alex. Campbell had
lust started to serve in the Washington
county Jail at Montpelier for intoxiea-
ti0n, and acute alcoholism was the cause
which the physicians certificate ascribes
for the release.
Campbell was arrested last Saturday
badly intoxicated. His condition was
such that he was not brought into court
the following Monday, and when he
faced the city Judge yesterday he was
far from being himself. He pleaded
guilty to first offense of intoxieation,
and ia default Of payment was SEN
fenced to serve twenty days. He was
taken at once to the jail to begin the
sentence. He grew rapidly worse dur
ing the day, and last night a physician,
DR.. f. +. Watson, was called to attend
him. The doctor found him suffering
from the effects of indulgence and re-
manned with him until late, when Camp
bell seemed to be resting and the doctor
went home.
At half past twelve this morning the
sick man was apparently sleeping. AT
six o'clock he could not be aroused, and
the physician being hastily summoned
stated that the man had been dead sew
eral hours. This forenoon the remains
were taken to the undertaking rooms
of Johonnott & Hall
The deceased was 50 years Of age
and was born in the town Of Williston
When year old he was brought By
his parents to Montpelier, and had beer
resident ever since. His parents were

LIVELY DISPUTE ON.
President Roosevelt Says He Didn't, Col.
Mann Says He Did.

New York, July 26. Colonel Mann,
chief owner Of Town Topics, in spite OF
the denials from Oyster Bay that Presi-
dent Roosevelt did authorize his picture
ia aFads and Fancies," declares that the
chief executive gave the photograph to
his representative who was no other
than Mrs. Wade Hampton, daughter in
law 81 General Wade Hampton
II appears though that when the pre-
sident gave Mrs. Hampton his photo
graph he had no idea that it was to be
published in 'Fads and Fanciesn
Mrs. Hampton says that she called on
the president and told him that she
wanted his photograph for a book, and
before she could make further explana-
tion the president had given her his
photograph, telling her She could make
such use Of it as she pleased. She said
she wanted to tell the president Of "Fads
and Faneies," but he was not interested
and talked Of other things.

ton, for the speaker had suggested
that this plan would assist him In ar

the Twin City delegations. At times
yesterday his waiting room was filed
with anxious legislators and the speak
er during the evening plainly showed
the effect of the strain of meeting SO
many men and listening to their de-
mands. Mr.. Clague gave no intimation
of the possible selection Of his com
mittees, but several of the most i'm
portant committee chairmanships are
slated to go to the men who were most
