The Londonderry Sitter prints the
following bright letter drawn out by

DOG STRUCK BY TRAIN.
Animal Killed Near Lombard Farm
Yesterday. Two Legs Cut Oh.

The police department received a
telephone message on Sunday fore
noon from the Lombard farm stat
ing that a dog had been found on
the railroad tracks with two legs
cut off, having been struck by the
morning express. The animal was
still alive and the man at the Lom-
bard farm wanted to shoot it but
did not dare to break the law con-
corning the firing of weapons. The
police told him to put the dog out
of misery at once and this was done
without further delay.

GROCERY STORE ENTERED.
l.. B. Brooks Store Broken Into on
Thursday Night But Nothing TAX
enjoys Suspected.

enjoys Suspected.
The grocery store of L. B.
Brooks on Main street was entered
Thursday, but it cannot be ascer-
tanned that the burglars took any
thing, although it may develop that
a few articles were stolen that have
not been accounted for as yet. The
entrance was made through a rear
window, which was broken, and the
matches found on the floor this
morning are evidence that search
was made for valuables, but no at
tempt was made to break into the
cash register. 1t is thought that
boys are responsible for the deed,
and a sharp watch is being kept
over the movements of several
youngsters whose regulations are
none the best.
The officers on duty that evening
made their rounds as usual, but dis
covered nothing out of the ordinary,
do lHo uOOIS were lOCh6u anu every
thing seemed to be in order. 1t was
not until this morning that the dis
covery of the break was made, when
the employees at the store came to
work, and the matter was immedi-
ately reported to the police. This is
the fifth break of this kind that has
occurred within a comparatively
short time and the police are deter
mined to stop the depredations at
all events. McCuen's dry goods
store, Marvin &c Sherburn's grocery
store, H. o. Kent's market and the
Boston Bargain store were the 9TH
er places visited by the robbers, and
although no large amounts were Ia
ken at any of the places, the breaks
In themselves are a menace to this
community and every means will be
taken to put a stop to them.

LEAPS OVER CHILD'S HEAD.
Little Frances Cobb Has Narrow
Escape-Intelligence Of Water
Supt. Russelrs Horse Saves Barre
Girl Friday Afternoon.

A fine example of animal reason
ing, despite arguments to the con-
trary, was that displayed by the
horse belonging to Water Superin-
tendent o. c.. Russell of Barre,
which probably saved the life of lit
tie Frances Cobb, 1O-year-old daugh-
ter of William Cobb of Beckley
court, on Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Russell had left the horse
which is an intelligent beast, stand
ing up on Prospect street late Fri
day afternoon. The horse became
hungry and started to make the
journey to the livery stable alone.
1t walked down the steep Prospect
street hill and at the foot became
frightened at an engine in the yards
and started to run. 1t shot across
Main street near the city building
and at the corner near the Park COL
lided with a hydrant which separat
ed the sleigh from the rest of the
rig.
The horse became free from all
distractions, then started on a mad
chase for the Cutler livery stable,
which is located at the rear of the
City Hotel. AS it reached the cross
ing near the hotel little girl car
rying basket of eggs stood SCARE
ly on the crossing on her way home.
| The horse evidently saw that he
could not swerve off and escape
knocking the child down so he made
one big leap jumping directly over
the child and landing in a snow
bank ten feet away. The child was
unframed but was so frightened
that she dropped the basket of eggs
smashing them on the sidewalk.

TOWER OF LONDON.
The Perfect System by Which It's
 Treasures Are Guarded

The Tower of London has the most perfect system of burglar alarms that has yet been devised
 From Scotland Yard, from the @ov- ernor's headquarters and from her places known only to Il few re>pon- Sible officials the whole Tower cau nr , closed electrically within Il few sec OndS. Even the puudc"ouS gates it the middle tower, which weigh some tons and through which visitors pass. swing to automatically. and the escape of every one within is instantly barred. 1t the same time an alarm bell rings 10 warn wardcns, police and soldiers In particular the precautions ill tue apartment containing the crown jew els arc of a most scientifically claho- rate kind. One of the =bCcfcatcr> on duty in the room has merely to press . button, whereupon the heavy door closes, the alarm bell below rings, the other gates slam to and lock- and every person within the tower is instantly cut off from the outer world
 The man who can set away with any of the crown jewels deserves them, observed a Tower official. "From where 1 am standing could close every important door and gate in the Tower in as short q time as il takes to utter these words.
 1t was mainly to insure the safety of tue crown jewels that the system was installed.
 No order had been issued for the closing of the Tower on q recent Sat urday when. greatly to their alarm. the visitors found doors locked. boltcd and barred against them for about ten minutes, preventing any one leaving the Tower.
 "Jhe Tower simply cloSed-tbat is all," remarked an official. "Who caus- cd it to do so we do not know. It might have been Scotland Yard. where the pressing of button would i'm prison every soul within the Power un- til the police gave the signal for their release. or il might have been the governor anxious to learn whether We were HIl at our posts At any rate, It was none of the minor officials
 "ln fact, who closed the Tower and why is q secret known only to the highest authorities There was no alarm. 10 attempt to seize the crown jewels. London Mail.
