Adams Of Lawrence, Mass, came here
last evening TO meet the City Hall build
ing committed and confer on plans. The

Of whether the City Hall should contain
an auditorium on the second floor Of the

be constructed 1T the rear for the audi
torium. The plans presented last even
ing provided for an auditorium on the
second floor Of the building. The es-

ton for the building Is only S9S,000, it
does not now look as If the building
would be erected this year.

BIG METEOR MISSES
SHIP BY FEW FEET
Great BAN Of Fire Falls Into Sea Fifty
Feet Away From Wilson Liner
Cambrian- Fearful Sea
Knocked Up.

Boston, Aug. 21.--The officers and
crew of the Wilson and Furness-Ley-
land liner Cambrian, which arrived yes
terday from London, have ample ground
for the belief that they are under the
special care of Providence. For few
men ever were nearer death than they
last Friday morning, shortly after mid
night, when the big 1000 ton freighter
faced total destruction in mid-ocean by
meteor Of mammoth proportions, which
after aiming.directly for the vessel, pass
ed over a few feet above her mastheads
and exploded and fell with a stupendous
roar harmless into the sea less tnan
fifty feet away. According TO Second
Officer Thomas Tughes, whose facts were
corroborated by Third Officer Daniel
yittery, it was a wonderful, yet terri
flying sight which they saw. The night
was beautiful. The sky was cloudless
and the sea calm, save for slight swell
which caused the steamer to roll lazily
as she steamed along
The first thing out Of the usual
which came To the attention of the oili-
GERS, "a they held watch on the bridge,
was the large number Of stars which
seemed to be travelling from horizon 70
horizon, some OF which seemed to leave
trail Of lights. Then out Of the
northeast there hared something which
seemed like a rocket only whittier. IL
had a glowing head and ended off not
unlike a horses tail, from which seemed
to come a train Of fire. In less time
than it takes 70 tell, the molten mass
seemed almost over the ship, and the Off
GERS knew that if 1t happened to light
on the spot the ship occupied she never
would be heard of again. The meteor
passed with rush and roar, dazzling
The eye with its brilliancy, and dropped
into the ocean with tremendous mis-.
sing.

NOT ACCUSTOMED TO
VERMONT GENEROSITY
John Roberts Of This City Wanted to
Show Them How, But His Good
Intentions Misinterpreted.

John Roberts of Barre has worked
pretty hard on the farm all summer, and
not till his hay was all in did he stop
for the vacation that he had earned,
says the Springfield, Mass, Republican
Of yesterday. Then he and his faithful
wife decided to make visit to friends
in Hartford. Ordinarily Roberts is not
only industrious, but sober 1t may have
been that the excitement attendance up
on leaving the Green Mountain state led
him to imbibe too copious draughts Of
last years cider--real stone fence
and to add the more fiery beverages as
civilization offered opportunity At any
rate, he arrived in Springfield early on
Monday evening in a great state of hi
larity and intent on letting everybody
know that he was from Vermont, that
he had some money and b'gosh he would
spend it. In spite Of his wife's protes-
tations, he made his way down the
street from the station, hourishing a
great sheaf Of green money in his hands
and intimating that ii he couldn't spend
it fast enough he'd give it away. That
naturally attracted attention, for such
folks do not often blow into the city,
even from Vermont. He was engaged IN
TRYING to hand money out on Vernon
street when William Hood, viee-chanf
fer Of the police department, spied him.
Not having authority to make an arrest,
he sprinted for policeman. Meanwhile
Roberts broke away from his wife and
ran across Main street and up Harrison
avenue as fast as his uncertain legs
would carry him, waving his bills and
followed first by his wife, then by a
rabble, next by Hood and Acting Inspec-
tor Costello, whom he had picked up,
and finally BY Officer Kennedy, who had
heard that money was about to be dis
tribnted. Hood and Costello caught up
with Mrs. Roberts at the corner Of Mar
ket street, and with her spouse halfway
over to Townsley avenue on Market.
He showed some temper, but they kept
right on with him around the block, and
in a iiffy had him at the police station.
There the officers peeled S. and $40 bills
Off the roll until they counted about
SIS, all Of which was turned over to
Mrs. Roberts. House Officer McCallin
duly entered his name, and he was con-
Quoted, pretty drunk, to place where
he could sleep.
