WRITING HISTORY OF GRANITE.
Arthur w. Brayley of Boston Now In
Barre Looking Up Facts.

The first recorded use of granite in
the United States was for the building
of Kings chapel in Boston, in 1852, the
granite being obtained from boulders
lying in what was called the north and
south common in Braintree, now Quincy,
Mass. In the 20's began in Boston what
may be called Grecian age. when a
sort of Greek revival was the object
of the few architects working in the
town. few buildings erected in that
period still survive and excite the Gu
riosity of even the most casual observ-
ers.
When il was learned that the gran
ite found in such abundance in Quincy
could be worked to advantage in the CON
struction of buildings, improvements
were made in the methods of quarrying,
and number of appliances for handling
large stones were invented The con-
struction Of the first railway in the
United States, as we'll as these other ap-
pliances were due solely to the needs
of the Bunker hill monument associa-
ton TO complete the obelisk. Since that
time granite has steadily increased in
Importance, and the story OF its develop
ment makes an interesting chapter in
the industrial history of this country.
All the facts connected with that de-
velopment are being collected by Ar
thur w. Brayley Of Boston, to be EN-
bodied in history OF the granite in
dustry of New England.
He has been engaged in this work
about a year aud is now in Barre. seek
ing data for his book. A letter signed
by Seward W. Jones, president of the
national association OF the granite in
dustres of the United States, has been
sent to members of that association,
calling attention to Mr. Brayley's work
and asking them to give him such as
sistanee rs they can. Mr. Brayley is
writer Of experience, having been con-
nected with newspaper or magazine
work for years, and he is the author Of
several histories.

Over Fort at Agadir, Morocco,
Despite Protest
GRAVE COMPLICATIONS ARISE
French Government at Once Disavowed
the Action and Took Steps to Have
the Flag Hauled Down-Ger-
many Greatly Concerned.

Berlin, Germany, Oct. GA group of
Frenehmen hoisted French flag over
the fort at Agadir, Morocco to-day,
threatening grave International compli-
cations. 1t is announced that France
proclaimed protectorate and that a
French cruiser is en- route for Agadir.
The French government Immediately
disavowed the action, and as it is not
represented at Agadir il instructed the
French consul at Mogador to ask the
Moroccan authorities to take measures
to remove the flag and end the incident.
According to the advices here, the French
men are defying the local calf of Aga
dir, who, on his own responsibility, or
dered the French colors lowered.
The calf appealed to the commander
Of the German warship in the harhor.
He refused to interfere. The incident
created excitement in southern Moroc-
co, and the German foreign Office is said
to be satisfied with the measures adopt
ed by the French government.

POLICEMAN FLAGGED TRAIN.
To Warn Freight Train Crew of Serious
Cave-in.

While walking along the Williams
town track last night shortly before 0
o'clock, Mrs. David Devecchi stepped into
a deep hole and narrowly escaped Sc
rious injury before she could recover her
balance and reach terra frma again..
She sent word to Officer George Garlic,
who visited the scene of the fall and
found that bad cave-in had occurred.
He telephoned to the Central Vermont
station and learned that an engine and
a short string Of freight cars had Just
started for WiIliamstowm. The extent
Of the eave-in could not be learned on
account Of the darkness, so Officer Carle
was asksd to flag the approaching
freight train.
This he did, and a later investigation
revealed a hole some twenty feet in
depth and measuring six feet across the
top The cave-in occurred at the trestle
near Cambria street. After ascertain
ing that the trestle could be crossed
without danger, the train proceeded
slowly over the cave-in and on TO vii.
Jamestown.
Mrs. Devecchi sustained bruised
limb in the fall, but was fortunate in
not suffering more serious injuries.
Workmen repaired the break near the
trestle to-day.

"The Witching Hour" which ran for
two years in New York City, comes to
the Barre opera house on Tuesday, Oct

cations that might result from the over
mastering win power of single indi-
vidual endowed with gifts of mesmerie
power and mental telepathy.
