ALL KINDS OF WEAPONS.
Sticks, Stones, Flatirons and Hot
Words Alleged 70 Have Figured.

One judge, five jurymen, two attor'
ncys, two interpreters, six Witnesses
the respondent and a string Of spec
tators had their time up in city court
yesterday from two o'clock in the after
noon until six at night by the case in
which Mrs. Frank Wood was charged
with a breach OF the peace. The wo'
mans arrest is the result Of neigh
bors Misunderstanding which took place
week ago today between the respon-
dent and Mrs. Jennie Cayanna, who
lives in the same house. After hear
ing two hours of testimony and two
pleas and the judges charge the jurors
were unable TO agree and were discharg-
ed.
The need Of universal language is
cften felt in city court but never more
so than yesterday. when two interpret
ers were needed for the witnesses,
William Miers acted in that capacity
during the testimony Of Mrs. Emma
Krcbe, a German woman, and the SER
vices Of Joseph Commoli were required
in a like capacity for Mrs. oyasolla
Villas.
The first witness called by the state
was Mrs. Jennie Cayanna who alleges
that she was on the business end of a
stick which was thrown by the respon-
dent
Mrs. Cavana, in her testimony, stat
ed that she had some high words with
Mrs. Wood and that later she threw
stick of wood and hit her on the hand.
After this Mrs. Cayanna threw stone
through the window OF Mrs. Woods
rooms.
The testimony Of Mary Kriche, Mrs..
Emma Krichie, Mrs. 0vasolla Villas
practically corroberated the testimony
Of Mrs. Cavvanna, and DIR. Ghidella
testified that he dressed an abrasion
or Mrs. Cavanna's hand.
The state here rested and the de-
fense's first witness, Mrs. Lueius Pro-
yanche, was called. Mrs. Provanche
testified that Mrs. Cavanna walked to-
ward Mrs. Wood with two stones in
her hands and that when the later
went into her house she threw the
stones, one of them at least going
through the window. Witness stated
that Mrs. Wood then came out and
threw stick at Mrs Cavanna. Mrs.
Cavanna went to her rooms and later
came out with fat iron in her hand
and said that if Mrs. Wood came out
she would kill her. Mrs. Wood, the
respondent, told her story in praeti-
cally the same maner as Mrs. Proven
che had already related.
The jury worked on the case for over
an hour and after being instructed once
by the Judge and being sent back once
TO reconsider, stated through the fore
man Ned. ]. Roberts, that they were
unable to agree and were ordered dis
charged. The case viii be continued
until later date to be decided by the |
attorneys in the case.

most spectacular kind was discovered
at 1890 this morning in the two and
one-half story frame building at the

and occupied chiefly by the grocery
store of J. L. Lucier.
The building is a very old one and
the store is the Oldest in the city that
has continued in the same line Of bus
iness year after year.
The cause Of the fire is unknown,
but it was discovered in the grocery
story by Officer Charles Buckham, who
was passing, and at that time it had
secured quite a hold upon the building
and the flames were mounting UP as
II fed by a quantity Of oil The Of
ficer rang in box and the department
speedily responded but it had hard
fight for an hour and half before the
all-out was sounded.
The flames spread rapidly and several
women in the family of Napoleon Sir
ois, who occupied one Of the upstairs
tencments, had narrow escape, but
were rescued by the firemen.
The building was tenantcd on the
ground floor by the Lucier grocery
store, which occupied the corner, and
by Edward Cote, barber and A. j..
Kelley, shoemaker. Cote also occupied
a tenement above and there were two
other families in the building, those Of
Francois Cassista and Ovid Pedrein.
The building was pretty well gutted
and the loss upon the same will be
about $4,000.
Lucier's loss on stock will be about
the same amount and the loss to the
ether tenants viii amount to $4,000
mere.

yesterday. Charles Oakes, who pitch
ed tent on the island in the Connecti-

and dispensed ice cream, soda and eli.
gars without being molested, being on
New Hamshire territory, was notified
yesterday by a representative OF the
Connecticut river power company which
controls the land where the tent stood,
that the company would not allow the
use Of any land under its control to
be used for purposes contrary to the
policy Of Brattleboro, and that conse-
quentIy he must not sell any more re-
freshments there on Sunday. The use

was negotiating with persons who con
troll land on another section of the is
