Arbor day Was observed ct Franklin
high in an appropriate way. All the
school work done on Friday was outside
OF the building, and the day was devoted
to the improving Of the school grounds.
Early in the morning = crew Of about
twenty-five men and high school boys
gathered with pickaxes and shovels, and
some with horses, plows and scrspers,
ready to put in good days work grading
the grounds. From till II O'Clock the
work was carried on. Then the men ac-
cepted an invitation to dinner OF salads,
beans, meats, cakes and pies served in the
town hall by the high school girls. To this
the men did full justice, and returned to
work with many praises OF the we'll
cooked food which had graced the tables.
At $50 q delicious supper was served,
and in the evening ice-cream and candy
were on sale. About si5 was cleared at the
ice-crean and candy booths.
The amount OF work done by the men is
estimated to b. worth s75, and the labor
given SO readily Is fully appreciated. A
great deal Of interest in the high school
was shown, not only by the men who Of
fered their services, some OF whom are in
no way connected with the school, but
also by the women OF the town who SO
generously gave food for the dinner and
supper. Especially appreciated was the
donation by Louis Springer OF all the
meats served on the tables. To all those
who so kindly assisted vote OF thanks
was given by the high school pupils and
teachers.

GRANITE SHEDS BURNED
Valuable Stock and Machinery Des-
troyed by Fire Sunday Night

Montpelier, May 9.-The stonesheds
of the National Granite company in
this city, owned by st. Onge & Bouch-
ard, were burned at midnight. The
loss is total. The fire was evidently
of ncendiary origin as it broke out
in several places at the same time,
the structure being all ablaze when
the fremen arrived.
The loss on the sheds is $4,000
and on the machinery and unfinished
stock an equal amount. This is par
TALLY covered by insurance. There
were several valuable unfinished
Memorial day jobs in the sheds and
the machinery was of very expen-
sive type. One empty box car be-
longing to the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way company was also burned.
These sheds were located in the
center of the stone cutting district
but there was no wind at the time of
the fire and this atmospheric condit-
ion greatly aided the firemen in saw
ing the adjoining property.

BABYS PITIFUL CASE

"0ur baby when two months old was
suffering with terrible eczema from head
to foot, all over her body. The baby
looked just like skinned rabbit. We
were unable to put clothes on her. At
first it seemed TO be a few mattered
pimples. They would break the skin
and peel of leaving the underneath skin
red as though it were scalds. Then a
few more pimples would appear and
spread all over the body leaving the
baby all raw without skin from head to
foot. But on top Of her head there
appeared q heavy scab a quarter Of an
inch thick. Ii was awful to see so small
a baby look as she did. Imagined The
doctor was afraid TO put his hands TO
the child. We tried several doctors
remedies but all failed. Then we de-
cided TO try Cuticura. After three days
you could see the body gaining a little
skin. Now the baby is four months
old. She ia fine picture Of a fat little
baby and all Is well. We used Cuticura

BULLET FIRED AT BALLOON
Experience Of GIidden Party in Con
necticut Yesterday

East Haddam, Conn, May Upon
landing here yesterday from an aero
nautical journey undertaken for the
purpose of making astronomical OBJ
servations particularly of Halley's
comet, the occupants of the balloon
Massachusetts stated that they were
fred upon by some unknown person
about three miles north of Manches-
ter just before sunrise. The person
used rifle and while the bullet did
not strike the balloon or its passen-
gers, it whistled uncomfortably close
to their ears.
Prof. David Todd of the Amherst
college observatory, who with Mrs.
Todd and Charles j. Glidden compris-
ed the balloon party, reported that his
observations of Halley's comet, as
well as the planet Venus, the moon
and the sun were very successful and
that he had gained much information.

MANsLAueATER CHARGED
Joy Rider Confessed He Killed
Schenectady Young Man.


Schenectady Young Man.
Troy May Edward Quest, %
years of age. was arrested at his
home in this city Saturday evening,
charged with manslaughter, first de-
gree, the charge growing out Of the
death of Frank F. McElroy, which oc-
Cured from injuries sustained last
Wednesday night on the outskirts OF
Schenectady when he was struck by
an automobile.
McElroy and a companion named
Waddell were walking along the
tracks Of the Schenectady Railway
company ON the Schenectady road
They had just stepped to the roadway
which runs parallel with the tracks
when an automobile came along and
struck McElroy, killing him almost in
stantly. Waddell escaped injury.
The occupants of the machine did
not stop to ascertain the identity of
the man struck or the extent of his
injuries.
Local detectives were unable to
make any Roadway on the case until
Saturday, when s. T. SHOEMAKER,
who resides at Cedar Hill, near AL
bany reported to the Schenectady of
flcials that he thought himself the
owner OF the car which figured in the
accident. He stated, however, that
he did not know who was in the ma
chine. He said that on the night of
the fatality he had stored the auto
in the barn of Stephen Lynch on Earl
street, above Jacob, this city; that
the next morning it was apparent
from the condition OF the machine
that some one had used II during the
night and that one of the front lamps
had been demolished.
Acting upon information that Quest
had key to the barn the officers
went to the home of the young man
and after questioning him placed him
under arrest. He was taken to head
quarters where he at first denied hav
ing any connection with the case
Later, however, under the fire Of
questions hurled at him, hecontradict
ed himself several times and at last
admitted that he was driving the ma
chine on the night of the fatality
Asked by the officers why he die
not stop to ascertain whether or no
the man was seriously hurt, he re
piled that he had a stolen machine
and further than that he was no
possessed of a license as a chauffeur
and when he saw possible chance 4
escape, he ayailed himself Of the OF
portunity.
Yesterday morning Detectives Con
ley and Lynch visited the home o
the Garfield Brothers on Eighth st
and placed them under arrest. The
told the officers the same story tina
had been related by Quest saying
however that at the time they az
copied the invitation to take a rid
they had no knowledge that the aut
was a stolen one. John Garfield sta
ed that he urged, Quest to stop tn
machine when the man was strucl
but Quest refused, giving the abov
mentioned reasons as an excuse.
In his confession to Detective
Lynch and Conley, Quest takes blam
for the accident.
