SNOW FELL TN NEW YORK.
Unusual June Weather in the Metrop-
oils on Sunday.


New York June Snow fell in New
York yesterday though the flakes were
not Of the sort that make sleighing and
snow balls nor did they fall aa snow all
the way to the pavements, but coming
from colder starta they swirled about
the tops cf the sky scrapers and before
melting added d nidwinter touch I'd the
most remarkable June that New York
has known.
The warmest moment Of the day was
1905 a. m. when the temperature was
officially recorded at 81 degrees. At
1920 O. m. the mercury had dropped to
45 and at six o'clock last night 1t had
risen to Az.
AT the local weather bureau the day
was admitted to be the codest recorded
here on the second of June. IA stiff
breeze accompanied with heavy rain
fall prevailed throughout the day. Hol-
iday excursions were abandoned and the
pleasure resorts were without patrons.
At an early hour the wind attained a
velocity Of fifty miles an hour. The
brunt Of the blast was felt in the Bronx,
where two story and half completed
frame house was torn apart, and its tim
bers scattered for block. Fences were
laid flat and signs torn from the business
buildings. On Third avenue q row Of
workmen's shanties were wrenched out
Of plumb.

Mrs. George Allen is at her home IN

to her spine sustained in a runaway ac-
cident in this city yesterday. Two
other persons IN the team with her i
son, Ernest Allen, and Miss Mabel
Garrity, were also thrown out of the

train on the Barre railroad was the
cause Of the accident.

the kindness of William SomeryilIe's
people who live near the scene Of the acs

her husband arrived to take her 10 her

on cot and in that manner was car.

Dr. w. 4. Lazelle was summoned te

Mr.. MANN,S VIEWS.
Tells What He Believes Can Be Done
With Four SchOoIhOuses.

Mr.. Editor: In view Of the fact that
we have another city meeting next
Tuesday night wish to take exceptions
70 your report Of the last meeting con-
cerning myself, saying wanted to
crowd the children iii more closely to-
gether. Now this ii not true, simply
wanted to utilize the vacant space
which we already have, making another
room which would not crowd them to-
gether any more than they are at the
present time and which entry space /
contend is Of no benefit to the children
as it now is and could be used to good
advantage as school room taking
nothing from the comfort Of the chill
dren, neither making II amy more dan
gerous or difficult as regards their safety
in case Of fire.
ask every citizen who can possibly.
do SO 10 post themselves before the
coming meeting by looking over the
Ayers street school house, Brook street
and Wood-chuck knoll schooihonses that
tney may better understand how the
suggestions make could be accomplish
ed. Now with a few suggestions I
leave it with the voters believing they
will do the right thing although they
may be cenaured BY q certain few who
have the vested right To nse all moneys
raised for school purposes as judiciously
or otherwise as they please.
Now think it time that the citizens
OF Barre paying as much on each dollar
OF the grand HIST for school tax alone
as many towns do on their whole tax
should demand a strict accounting for
the room that can be used for school
purposes as they do for the money that
is given to build the same.
The schoolhouses that we now have,
OK some Of them at least, have two
halls seventy feet long and eleven feet
and nine inches wide with q stairway
at each end Of the hall We could put
in room thirty feet long and then
have a hall with q stairway at each
end twenty feet long leaving school
room in the center as before mentioned,
leaving a hall at each end twenty feet
by eleven feet and nine inches. ample
room for all purposes, this having re-
ference to the hall on The second floors
leaving the halls and the hrst floors as
AtANgI INV AAts
And let every voter bear in mind
that our school tax, as understand 1t,
will be from ninety cents to one dollar
on each dollar Of the grand list and
every voter can know the facts by 20
ing into the city clerks Office and look.
ing it up or through the city report, but
this is as | understand II and am ready
Ia be corrected If wrong
Now il we can make one room in each
of the four school houses. Wood chuck
knoll, Ayers street, Brook street and
perhaps Summer street school houses we
would have fourroom school house
at nominal cost and saye the greater
expense Of building at the present time.
And let the voters ask at the COM
ing meeting Of the school commissioners
the number Of children now attending
school from out Of the city and demand
an answer.

SLAIN BY A BULLET.
Tragedy on City Street Yesterday
Morning--A Dog the victim.


There is sorrow in household on JEFF
fersou street and on top Of that there
is indignation, for the pet Of the house.
q little black dog. is dead, slain by the
bullet Of a sFant0n hater Of canines and
this canine IN particular The tragedy
took place carly yesterday morning and
The discovery was made at five o'clock,
when the shaggy little dog was found
lying in the street and just gasping out
his life.
There are several theories as to the
causes underlying the act, but the most
plausible Is that which lays the blame
on some resident OF Jefferson street.
Now Pet, although small, had heavy
and constant voice which he was wont
To exercise III his moments Of ioy. This
bark may have led 70 his downfall that's
the suspicion at any rate. He may have
disturbed the elnmbers Of some person
who likes an unbroken rest, free from
the sounds Of dogs and babies. Pet"
many have aroused the ire Of that person
yesterday morning and that person may
have stealthily stolen forth and, aiming
true, brought down the disturher re-
treating then to end his slumbers.
The owner Of Che animal was naturally
wroth when the act was discovered, anu
there have been threats Of prosecution
for various offenses Using firearms
81 the city limits, shooting on Sunday,
destroying property are some Of them.
But first the offender must be found.
Some neighbors disclaim responsibility
for the death OF the dog, while Others
haven't been interviewed. The end may
come in police court at any rate. Mean
while the neighbors are looking at each
ether with suspicion
