GIANT BLOCK OF GRANITE
Chunk Valued at 5000, 900 Blasted
Out In Barre Quarry

Barre, VT, June 6.-The largest
piece of stone ever quarried in Yer
mont-a block of granite containing
161 900 cubic feet-has been blasted
out at one Of the quarries here. Figur-
ing at the current value of $1.25 for
each cubic foot, the great block is
worth a little more than 5000, 900.
Under pressure of sixty pounds Of
powder, the stone broke nearly
square. So great is it that it will
have to be broken into several pieces
before it can be removed from the
quarries.

PATRICK STAYS IN PRISON
Habeas Corpus Writ Is Refused the
Slayer of Millionaire Rice

New York, June 8 .-Albert T. Pat
ricks application for a writ of habeas
corpus releasing him from Sing Sing
prison, where he is under life SEN
tence for the murder OF William NJ .
Rice, was denied by the appellate
division of the supreme court in
Brooklyn.
In the opinion of the court, which
was written by Justice jerks, the
most striking paragraph was one hold
ing that the degree of punishment is
not determined by the preference of
the convict"
This was in answer to Patrick's
declaration that life Imprisonment
was a greater hardship than death.

Charge Against Prominent Chi
neSe Merchant Of Boston
SEQUEL TO A CHINESE "PICNIC"

Only Notary Public of His Race In
United States Accused of Being Inn
pIicated In Smuggling Nearly Two
Score MongoIians Into the Country
Bought Tickets Which Resulted In
Their Landing In Boston
Boston, June S.-The campaign of
the government inspectors to end the
smuggling of Chinese into this coun-
try in the vicinity of Boston, where it
has been said to have fiourished for
many years, resulted last night in the
arrest of Chin Shue, a prominent
Chinese merchant of the city and the
only notary public of that race in this
country.
The warrant upon which officers
arrested Chin Shue charged him with
Conspiracy to defraud the United
States government in illegally Snug
Cling Cinnamon into the country"
It is understood that the specific
case against him is connected with
the landing of nearly two score of
Cinnamon at Marblehead on Aug. "a,
1906. Chin Shue is alleged to have
purchased the railroad tickets for the
transportation of the Cinnamon from
Marblehead to Boston. Chin Shue
spent last night in Charles street jail,
unable to furnish bonds of $4,000.
Until the trials growing out of the
capture of the schooner Frolic at
Providence a few years ago, when she
had landed a cargo of Orientals, no
correct explanation had been made of
the gathering in the town of Marble
head on Aug. "a, 1906, of nearly two
score of Cinnamon.
During the trial, however, the
hitherto supposed picnic was shown to
have been a carefully organized
party and the picknickers
were Cinnamon who had never be-
fore set foot in this country.
The projectors of the trip of the
schooner Bonita to Marblehead and
of the Frolic to Providence were de-
clared at the trial to be identical.

swept an area of fully quarter of
the village last night, burning 100
dwelling houses, ten potato store
houses, the Canadian Pacific railway
freight station, the Congregational
church, Masonic hall and causing a
loss estimated conservatively at $500, =
600.
The residences bubrned included
some of the best in the village, al
though the greater number were of the
poorer sort. Upwards of a thousand
people are homeless.
A high wind which prevailed all day
is responsible largely for the extent
of the disaster. 1t carried blazing
embers a distance of a quarter of a
mile in many cases and new fires
quickly started in many places after
the first fire was well under way.
All the burned buildings were of
frame construction and although they
were not very close together, their
shingled roofs were easily ignited by
the showers of sparks.
Steamers and volunteer fire COM
panies from Houlton and Fort Fair
field assisted the local hremen with
this aid the blaze could not be said
to be fairly under control until the
wind had died down after all the
northeasterly part of the town had
been levelled and the flames had
reached the woods and farming coun-
try.
The fire broke out in the kitchen of
John Browns boarding house on North
Main street and it was seven hours
before the work of destruction was
finished. The burned section covers
an area Of half square mile.
From the boarding house the flames
communicated to the Congregational
church and from that time it was en-
tirely beyond control, the wind maxi
ing the hydrant streams practically
useless.
Several persons were injured in
various ways during the fire, but
there were no fatalities. Miss Ethel
Scott was injured in an automobile
collision while assisting the fire suf-
ferers. She was thrown from her
machine, suffering severe contu-
sions and possibly internal injuries.
Every able-bodied man in the viii
Iase turned out TO assist in fighting
the flames. All the stores and all the
factories closed their doors and pro-
prietors, clerks and operatives worked
together to save property and assist
the unfortunate.
