DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
Thieves Enter Pennington, N. H., Rail-
way Office

Pennington, n. H., Jan. 2s.--After an
interval of about six weeks professional
burglars again got in their work in one
OF the most audacious robberies ever
perpetrated in this vicinity at the Bos-
ton and Maine passenger station at
10;30 yesterday morning with people
and teams arriving at every moment
while Earle G. Reed, acting station
agent and Western Union telegraph
operator John French were in the freight
department working. II is believed that
the thieves came from the woods on the
south side of the station from where
they had watched the departure of the
station officials and entered by the side
door
After entering the station the thieves
with the use Of chisel, pried open the
door which led to the ticket Office and,
after gaining admittance employed the
same method in opening the cash drawer
from which they extracted quite sum
of money in small bills, the amount not
yet being definitely known. There was
considerable change in the drawer that
they did not take.
1t has always been the custom for
the station agent and telegraph opera
tor to go to the freight house during the
interval between the arrival OF the 9;2s
and 1850 o'clock trains, and leave the
ticket Office unguarded 1t is believed
that the deed was committed by some
one who has been staying around the
station for the past few days and knew
the situation thoroughly.
Chief Of Police Edwin r. Pike was at
once called and is working on the case,
although no probable clew has been
found.

But Friends Would Not Let
Her Die
A BARRE GIRLS ATTEMPT
Mrs. Bianchi Adami Took Poison Late
Yesterday Afternoon Through
Disappointment in
Love.

The spirit Of self-destruction seems
to be in the air just as present. Closely
following the grewsome attempt Of An
gelo Ambrozini to make away with him
self by slashing his throat with razor
on Tuesday night came the attempt Of
Mrs. Bianchi Adami to leave this world
by the use of poison late yesterday af-
ternoon. The woman was not success
full, any more than was the man of the
evening before. The latter is now at the
City hospital, where he was taken yes
terday afternoon, and it was stated to-
day that he win probably recover in
spite of the weakness incident to thu
loss Of blood
Mrs. Adami, who is an attractive look
ing young Italian woman, tried to take
her life while in her rooms in the San
guinetti building on North Main street.
She swallowed half ounce of launda-
mum and would no doubt have succeeded
in her purpose had she not cried out.
Mrs. G. Beltromi, who lives just across
the hallway from her room, heard tho
woman's cries and rushed to her assist
ance. Then it was that Mrs. Adami
admitted having taken the poison Mrs.
Beltromi ran downstairs to the telephone
in J. b. Sanguinetti's store, but being
unable to use this ran to the Office OF
DIR. P. S. Duffy and summoned him to
the scene.
Before his arrival, however, Mrs. Nor
ris, who resides in the rear Of the block,
heard the commotion, and upon finding
out the nature OF the trouble, mixed
some salt and water, which she forced
the poisoned woman to drink, with the
result that the latter vomited, probably
saving her life.
1t seems that Mrs. Adami who il di.
vorced from her husband, has been rath.
en- taken with young man Of the city
for some time, and that this intimacy
was broken of few days ago by the
young man. She was apparently griev-
ing over this desertion and said yester-
day morning that she was going to get
some poison. The friends to whom She
made this statement considered it a Joke
and paid no further attention to it until
she was found on the bed writhing in
agony.
Around her on the bed were number
of flowers which she is thought to have
purchased at the same time that she did
the poison, with which she tried to end
her life She also held photograph Of
the man in her hand. Mrs. Adami's
condition to-day is not sesious and her
early recovery is expected.

HACKED TO PIECES.
AGED Couple Murdered in East Town,
Pa. an Arrest Made.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2s.--Mr. and Mrs.
Henry James, an aged couple living on
farm in East Town, Pa, were found
Ipurdered in their barnyard yesterday.
The bodies were so badly hacked that
they were scarcely recognizable. James
and his wife attended church social
Tuesday night. They we're not seen
alive after that time
Early yesterday George Johnston, .
nephew Of the dead couple, went to the
James farm for team Of horses. Find
ing the dwelling locked, he proceeded to
the barn and was horrified to find the
bodies Of his uncle and aunt lying near
the stable door. Close to the bodies
was bloodstained axe, with which the
double murder had been committed.
Nothing was disturbed and the dead
mans gold watch was In his pocket
which would seem to indicate that the
nlurderer's motive was not robbery. A
farm hand, who had been in the employ
of james, but who was recently dis.
charged, is being sought for by the po-
lice authorities.
A PoIander, who had been employed
on the farm, was arrested here last night
and il being held by the authorities as
a suspect.

ROBERT FENwICK DEAD.
Resident Of the Town for 27 Years
Funeral on Friday Afternoon.

Funeral on Friday Afternoon
| The death Of Robert Fenwiek, long
time and we'll known citizen Of Barre
Town, occurred at his home on the
Plainfield road at 1926 yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Fenwick had been sick for
two and one-half years. The deceased
was born in Colchester, September az,
1866. He came to Barre 27 years ago
and for seven years worked on various
farms. nearly all Of which are in the
neighborhood of his late home.
On the 10th Of September, 1883. he
took for his wife EfIie NJ. Boutwell,.
Shortly after his marriage he bought a
small farm situated on the Plainfeld
road. He later erected slaughter house
and since that time has done butchering
for various markets in this city and snr-
rounding towns.
Mr.. Fenwiek had been man Of ex-
ceptionally good health until two years
ago last August, when he had an attack
of liver trouble. Similar attacks fol-
lowed, the disease getting stronger
hold each time. About three months
ago he entered the City hospital, where
he underwent an operation for hernia.

parture that he gave up courage

s42.4O5.ss

The receipts OF the school department
for the year were S43,70656, thus leav-
ing a balance on hand January |, 1909,
Of Sl,30ll7, against balance Of S4S4.42
year ago. BY far the greater proper
ton Of the receipts were from taxation,
the sum being sS5,057.67.
Both the commissioners and the school
superintendent lay particular emphasis
this year, as last, on the necessity for
providing playground for the school
children and both urge this matter upon
the attention OF the citizens. There is
at present, they say, no place where
the children can conduct their sports and
their play.
Another recommendation to which both
the commissioners and the superinten-
dent refer IS the growth of the manual
training idea and the adyisability Of
making a start in this city. The COM
missioners request that there are two
basement rooms in the Mathewson room
on Elm street which might be utilized
for this new department, and the neces-
sary machinery, tools and supplies can
be procured at moderate cost, but it
would be necessary to engage q compe-
tent instructor. Before taking any steps
in this direction, they ask for express
sions Of opinion on the part Of the citi-
zens.
All Of the nine buildings devoted to
school work are declared to be in salts
factory condition, except those on Church
street, Camp street and Beckley street.
This last-named structure ought to be
replaced, say the commissioners, with
an eight or twelye-room building, and
they believe that six or eight-room
building could be erected on the Church
street site. AS to the size Of the building
to replace the school at Camp street,
they are somewhat in doubt.
Superintendent Mathewson reports
that there are 50 teachers now employed,
Of whom five are male teachers in the
high school. There were 2.45S pupils
enrolled in all the buildings during last
falls term. S upt Afathewson deplores
the somewhat irregular attendance, and
he calls upon the parents to see khat
the children are more regular as we'll
as punctual. since the best work of the
schools cannot be done except when chill
dren are in their places regularly.

Ryegate Granite for Two P. 0. Buildings

The Osgood Granite company, with
its main Office in Northfeld, has re-
Gently closed contracts to cut and fur
nish from its quarries in South Ryegate,
the granite for postoffiee buildings in
Marietta, Ohio and Bridgeton, ". j.
These are two exceedingly good Jobs
and Manager Osgood would be glad to
have their cutting done in Northfeld,
but the freight rates make it necessary
to do this work at the quarries.
Manager 0sgood, by the way, is hav-
ing excellent success in introducing the
Rycgatc granite. 1t is an exceptionally
good stone and is being favorably re-
ceived by the trade and Mr. 0sgood is
getting it before the users in a way
that means business. The prospects are
certainly very iattering for the devel-
opment of tremendous trade in the
splendid Ryegate granite.
