The suburb Of 81. Petersburg adjoining the
Narva gate was shaken Friday by the explo'
sion Of a powerful bomb which was thrown
by one Of three addressed men, and which
tore an enormous hole in the ground and
broke all the windows in the vicinity There
was no loss Of life The bomb throwers dis
appeared before the arrival Of the police. As
the bomb was thrown in an open space from
which the throwers had previously warned
away all passersby and cab drivers, the event
is expiainable only on the superstition that
the bomb had been intended for use in con.
nection with the terrorist plot which was
discovered at Peterhof at the time Of Gen.
Trepoa's funeral, and that the consfirators,
finding that the police were hot upon their
trail, decided to throw IL away to avoid in.

interesting TO note that about 50 years
ago Brattleboro likewise looked TO the
Connecticut as a powerful agency. Tor

that time it was not question Vi
water power but one of steam naViga'
tion.
According to Burnham's history OF
Brattleboro steamboats, from down
country visited Brattleboro at different
times-the Barnet, the John Ledyard
and the William Holmes. The dates
when the last two pulled into the dock
near the mouth of the MILESTONE are
not given but the maiden trip OF the
Barnet was accomplished in 1877. lts
builder and captain was Thomas Blan'
chard of Springfield, Mass, who was
confident that steam navigation from
Hartford, Conn, far into Vermont
could be made a success. The Barnet $
initial entrance to the port of Brat
tleboro and the accompanying celebra-
ton are Interestingly described by
Burnham in the following paragraphs;
"In 1927 when the little Barnet
went for the first time screaming and
putting up the river, the inhabitants
of this place, always noted for keep
ing up with the times in their notions
if not in their actions, needed but
little to excite their hopes or stimulate
their ideality regarding the great adj
vantages this village was likely TO re-
ceive from this powerful agency Capt.
Blanchard, the hero of the hour, the
presiding genius of the Barnet, already
known to fame for his achievements
in mechanics, proudly walked the deck
of his steamer, inspiring increased con-
fidence that greater things were at
manu- anu Ht" tld w '"""
upon this fertile valley. His advent
here was greeted with bonfires, bell
ringing, illumination and intoxication.
There was loud cheering from the we'll
lined river bank, and British cannon,
taken from Burgoyne at Bennington,
reared out from their brazen throats
the joyful news. These demonstra-
tions were made before our hero got
into port; he was struggling against
the rapids, called "the tunnel, below
the bridge. When about halfway up
the rapids the boat came to stand
still. Notwithstanding the fire was so
great that the blaze poured from the
smokestack, and Capt. Blanchard, with
the energy of despair, was punching
against the bed of the river with
spiked pole, no further progress could
be made.

"While making vain efforts to sue
eessfully reinforce steam with this an
cient method of navigation, Capt Blan-
chard fell from the boat into the rapids
and came near being drawn under the
boat, but was fortunately rescued by
strong hands, which seized him by the
collar at the right moment to save him
from the threatened calamity. Sorrow
and disappointment were apparent as
the swift water now obtained the vic.
tory, floating the Barnet and Blanchard
down stream. But all was not lost;
the unconquerable will and genius, ever
fertile in expedients, survived this
cruel shock The next trial to ascend
proved successful, by applying the old
stationary windlass that had long been
used for drawing fiatboats over these
rapids. -

The celebration that followed the
Barnett successful arrival at Brattle
boro must have been memorable one,
for according to Burnham s descrip-
tion the light from the next mornings
sun "fell upon broken windows, tables,
chairs, crockery, glassware, etc, thus
giving any but complimentary evidence
of the way this high pressure was ven
tilated. - "The participants in this,
ever after called, famous high-go, ;"

When the much agitated dam across
the Connecticut becomes a reality the
present population of Brattleboro will
doubtless surpass its ancestors in the
extent of its celebration. 1t is un.
likely, however, that the Connecticut
river will again witness such display
of enthusiasm as that of 1927, when
prohibition was unknown and every
grocery store sold more rum than mo-
lasses.
