LITTLE FIRE, MANY INCIDENTS.
Two Montpelier Children Had Narrow
Escape-Fire Horse Ran Away.

There was not much fire but there
were lots of incidents in connection Will
an alarm which called the Montpelier
fire department to the house of Albert
Greenblat of Loomis street, Montpelier
last night at 1120 o'clock. The fortu.
nate escape of two Greenblat children
from death was the most important
The flames broke out in some clothes
in a closet off the children's sleeping
room. The children, both of whom are
less than dozen years old, were awak-
ened by the fire and gave the alarm
BY that time the room was full OF
smoke.
In responding to the alarm the fire.
men were somewhat delayed by the ac-
tion Of their horse As the harness
dropped on him the animal made a jump
and gave French leave, slipping by the
men and running down the street. The
firemen had to 90 back to the stable to
get another horse before they could start
hose company then had race and the
the volunteer company won out. The
fire in the closet was put out with the
contents of a few hand extinguishers
but the heat and the smoke drove the
firemen out of the room. Then stream
of water was turned on to put out the
flames which had worked their way
through the ceiling into the attic. But
small damage was done to the house
which is owned by Joseph Patterson.
This is the alarm which several Barre
firemen responded to, thinking it was
their own.

SMALL HOPES HELD
BY THE TRANSFERS
OF Aid from Other Unions Of Chicago
in Rioting Yesterday Police
men Fired on the
Crowds.

Chicago, May 27.--The hopes Of the
teamsters on strike that they would re-
ceive aid of the allied building trades
unions are not strong this morning. The
leaders oil the drivers declare that they
do not understand the action Of last
night OF the associated building trades
withdraws moral and financial support
from the striking employees" 1t is ex-
pected that tile differences between the
teamsters and other unions will prevent
spread of the strike through sym
pathy.
The departure of aJmes B. Barry,
business agent for the express rdiyers'
union. for the East last night, has given
rise to many rumors that he is en-
deayoring to start in other cities a SYM
pathetic strike that would tie up the
entire railway express system. 1t is
understood Barry is going to New York
and Boston
Riotng broke out afresh yesterday in
the teamsters' strike. Nobody was seri-
ously hurt. There were several vicious
fights in the lumber yards during which
1.-THE police used clubs, and in one in
stance revolvers.
The worst fight occurred at West
Twenty second street and Ashland ave
nue., where a crowd hurled stones and
clubs at passing lumber wagons. Finally
a wagon ON which Policemen Bagenski
was a passenger came along, and the
mob greeted it with the usual yolley
of stones. The policeman drew re.
voIver and fired six shots at the crowd
which fled in confusion. None of the
bullets hit anybody.

PETITION

FEAST OF MUSIC
AT OPERA HOUSE
Jackson Kennedy Wilder Recital Last
Evening Was a Great Success
Association Debt
Is Paid.

The recital given at the opera house
last evening for the benefit of the Barre
Musical Association was one of the
most enpoyable and successful entertain
ments held in the city this season. There
was good sized and apprectiative audi
ence present which for two hours was
thrilled by the beautiful music rendered
by artists who number among the best
in the country.
The artists we're Ion jackson, the
celebrated tenor, Dion Kennedy, pianist,
and George Ii. Wilder, who is we'll
known in this city as flute soloist.
The Barre Musical Association is to be
congratulated on being able to secure
three such high class artists, and such
entertainments as these should be well
coined with crowded houses by the musi-
cal circles and others of the city. The
atre goers would find much more
wholesome and refined enjoyment in
these entertainments than has been giv-
en- by some of the lamentably below
par show companies which have visited
the city in the past few months.
Mr.. Jackson's wonderfully clear and
sweet toned voice was thoroughly ap-
preciated by the audience last evening,
and his well chosen selections brought
out the power and scope of his voice
and held his hearers spellbound.
The playing of Mr.. Kennedy was much
enjoyed and his work left nothing to
be desired in an artist of the first rank.
Mr.. Wilder needs no introduction to
Barre audiences and his two flute solos
last evening were among the most en-.
joyable parts of the programme.
The following is the programme with
the exception Of the encores.

DISASTER
AVERTED
An Unsuccessful Attempt to
Blow Up Drawbridge
AT NEW YORK EARLY TODAY
Dynamite Loaded on Raft Hit Plank
Before Reaching Bridge and Dyna-
mite Sent OF With Tremen-
dous Noise.

New York, May 27.4A desperate but
unsuccessful attempt was made early
this morning to blow up the new Penn
sylyania railroad draw bridge over the
Hackensack river. The attempt follow
ed several letters threatening President
Cassett with death and threats to des-
troy the property of the road. because
of the refusal of the company to employ
ironworkers affiliated with the Sam
Parks gang.
Dynamite was placed on a raft and
allowed to float against the bridge on
the tide. Fortunately the raft struck
a hidden log before it could strike the
bridge, and terrible explosion followed.
Had the raft gone out of ITS course it
would have struck the old Pennsylvania
passenger bridge as train was passing
over it, and the loss Of life would have
been appalling.

Burlington, May 27.--Affairs in the
water department resumed more nor

CONVICTED OF Kill
LING HER HUSBAND
Petition Made BY Her At
tOrneys a Week Ago and
Since Tuesday Judge Wat
so Has Been Writing the
Courts Decision.

The Vermont supreme court in ses-
sion at Montpelier this afternoon re-
fused to grant the petition for new
trial of Mary M. Rogers, tried, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged fur the
murder of her husband, Marcus Rogers,
ut Bennington three years ago.
The decision was rendered by Judge
John H. Watson, who presided at the
term of Bennington county court during
the woman's trial and who sentenced
her to be hanged after she was found
guilty of the crime of killing her hus-
ban. The choosing of Judge Watson
Tuesday to write the decision led to
the impression that the result would
be adverse to the petition for new
trial. Since Tuesday Judge Watson has
been busy writing the opinion, his place
on the Judges bench during the entire
week being vacant.
The decision not to grant new trial
TO the woman does not mean the last
chance that she has for life, although
the day set for execution is next FRI
day. 1t il understood that the case
may go up to the United States supreme
court. In that event application would
first have to be made to the federal
court for a stay of execution. Ii that
stay should be granted then the case
would be argued before the higher tri-
bnnal. BY one who was in a position
to know 1t was said that preparations
ha0 been made some time since for
an appeal to the United States court,
in case the decision Of the Vermont
court was unfayorable to the woman
Still this person said that he thought
that the case of the woman had been
strongly presented to the court.
| This person, who is one Of the attor-
neys for the woman, said; Should the
supreme court refuse to grant the prayer
of the unfortunate woman, we have one
more card to play and we are certain
that it win prove a winning one. We
win appeal to the supreme court Of
the United States for, first, stay Of
execution, and, if this is granted, new
trial before the highest tribunal in the
land. We have our plans already made
and there viii be no delay. We will
be forced to act quickly as the time re-
| naming IS so short.

He Wanted Fresh Strawberries.

An eyelen-y year-old Highland Avenue
boy was sent by his mother yesterday
afternoon to purchase some strawber-
ries. The little fellow inspected crate
at one of the Main street grocery stores
and decided that they weren't what his
mother would want. So he asked the
clerk:
Have you any fresh Strawberries n
The clerk, art-like, replied;
What dye thinkg Dye suppose VIZ
sell salted ones? :"
The little fellow looked down at the
crate of strawberries and quietly re
piled:
Il should think you'd have to salt
them pretty soon if you're going to keeE
em.n
The clerk was too surprised to answer
and the boy marched out to another
grocery store.
