BOYS PERVERSITY
TOLD in COURT
After Which He Was Sentenced to Con-
fnemcnt for the Remainder Of His
Minority.

Bennington, Aug. 2.--Hugh Keefe. IL
years of age and son Of Alexander
Keefe of Rutland, was yesterday sen,
fenced by Municipal Judge +. j.. Bates
to the Industrial school at vergennes
for the remainder OF bis minority The
charge against the boy was that of at.
tempting to wreck the Green mountain
flyer over the Rutland road at Saafts-
bury, July %.
The boy when arrested two days after
the incident made full confession. He
not only placed ties on the rails for
the purpose Of ditching the northbound
train, but when the obstruction was
removed by freight crew he replaced
it.
But for the fact that the northbounl
train was late and slow freight was
sent ahead, bad wreck would have
resulted, for the ties were ingeniously
placed so as to throw the cars from
the rails.

POISONED WHILE BERRYING.
One Little Child Dead and Two Others
Critically ILL.,

Wakefield, Mass, Aug. 2.-one little
child of Mr.. and Mrs Perley j. Cum
mings is dead and two other of their chill
dren are critically III, as the result of
eating some kind Of poison while berrying
in the woods which border tne Wakefield
and North Saugls electric car line to-
day. The doctor who Is attending the
two sick children, and who was at the
bedside of the third when he died, was
unable to state at an early hour this
evening from just what cause death was
due, He said, however, that It probably
resulted from some kind Of poisoning.
The dead boys name was Arthur Les.
ter, and he was but year and half
old. The other two children are Har-
riett, aged years, and Irving aged4
years. Little Irving is the more serious.
ly III Of the two, and it Is doubtful IL
he lives.
Residents hereabouts believe that the
children either swallowed some Of the
poison, which is being placed upon the
trees by the gypsy moth commission, or
that they ate some dog berries, think
ing that they were blueberries.

Presented on Opera House Stage Last
Night For First Time

a small but enthusiastic audience
greeted the initial performance Of w.
w I.ap0ints now play, "a Lamb from
Wall Street. at the opera house last
evening and those that did 20 were fully
repaid by seeing one Of the funniest
performances that has been seen on tho
local stage Tor some time. Thile Tho
play docs not have a deep plot, the vein
Of mystery which riins through Il Is
strong enough TO hold interest from The
start until the curtain drops on the last
act.
The characters Of the play are the two
confidence men, Lyon and Wolf, who
have come from New York for the p,ir.
pose Of wreeking the bank in a small
town bv placing Helen Hamilton, ar all
ventures who accompanies them, in the
bank as cashier. The part OF Wolf is
taken by j. Gaillafd, that Of Lyon bv
Mr. Lapoint and that Of Helen Hamil
ton BY Laura Stone.
The three conspiIators arrive in this
small town and the schemes ot the plot
are well under way when A. Wise Lamb,
a Young New Yorker, who has been
swindled by them. arrives on tho scene
and Il successful in obtaining the pcsi-
ton IN the bank himself. and later OBJ
tains fun restitution OF his stolen wealth.
The part Of Lamb was charniingly por-
trayed hv Miss Florence Kramer the
Russian actress.
The other characters Of the play were
an exeellen. including Billy Evans and
Alr pettingill. President Of the Onion
River bank; Luoretia Mcclure as Aman-
da Goldsbury, lussy old maid, who
gets Jag on; Virginia Ashburn, a.
Polly Coldsbury, daughter Of the bank

DIRECTORS
DUG DOWN
Advanced Money 0utof Their
Their Own Pockets
TO PAY BALL PLAYERS
The Latter Agreed to Give Association
Time to Raise the Balance--The .
Entie Base Ball Debt Is Now N
$1,000. ,g

The Barre Montpelier base ball team.
the only one left Of the Vermont league,
was formally disbanded at 4 meeting Of
the directors in this city last evening.
But the team will keep together that
is, the larger part Of it will--for time
at least. After playing the @Yanni,
gans" at Intercity park this afternoon
they viii go to Bennington to play there
Saturday and at Hoosark, n. Y., Sum
day. They may get an offer to represent
Bennington for month, and if it Is
satisfactory they may stay there. New
port, N. H., is also after the boys.
Cottcr, Clemns and Thayer did not
care to make the Bennington trip, and
it il reported that Whcrry Is going to
the lowell, Mass, team The players
were partially paid ofF BY the direc-
tors at the meeting last evening.
But iH order to do So, the directors
had to 81 down into their own pockets
and advance the money This they did
to man, although anyone can see that
1t was not pleasant thing to do.
They did not wish however to let the
players 10 away from Barre feeling that
they had been treated badly while here,
and it Is hoped that means may be
devised later to make good this amount
to the directors and to pay up the bal
ance owed the players and other people.
The remaining obligation TO the playek-
viii be paid as soon as the money can
be raised. The boys realized the situa-
tion the directors were in and cheerfuIly
agreed to give them time.
The management has kept the salaries
paid up pretty we'll and owed only three
weeks at the time Of disbanding, but
the weekly payroll Of the players
amounts To something over 5000, and it
can Be seen that the total jumps up
when few weeks slip past. 1t Is said
that there wasn't single payday for
the Plattsburg team, while the pay
days of the Burlington and Rutland
men were few and far between. The
local directors hope to have clean
sheet, 50 that when another team 5
wanted here the players viii not be
afraid Of having 70 play a whole sea-
son and not get any money for their
services.
The total outstanding obligation Of
tlie assaeiatloA IS @fssUU. flaiis are De-
ing considered to wipe out this amount.
consisting Of several ball games, a field
day and later in the year two fairs,
one in each city.
The Barre Montpelier team was eas-
ily the best balanced bunch in the Yer-
mont league, as it was IN the two pre-
vious leagues this summer. The boys
lost only four games out Of eighteen
played under the last schedule, and had
clear field for the, pennant had tho
hague kept together Most Of the play
en- joined the team the midle Of May
and have been in Barre and Montpelier
ever since. During the season they
have made great many friends both
on and of the base bali field who would
be glad to see them back again if tho
conditions are right
