At recent meeting of the United

the Hedding Methodist Episcopal church,
the following resolutions We're adopted;
Resolved, That in the going away of

ciety has sustained great loss. There
is no death. the stars 60 down to rise

ITALIAN PLEASURE CLUB PICNIC.
Nearly One Hundred Have Outing at
Kelley's Grove.

Members of the Italian Pleasure club,
families and friends to the number of
nearly one hundred, betook themselves
to Kelley's grove Saturday afternoon
for the fifth annual picnic and orting
of the club. The gathering flocked to the
shady woods shortly after the noon hour
and found awaiting them a bounteous
banquet of Holsters and clans After
sumptuously feasting, the usual order OF
sports and games were held, and dane
ing was held at the pavilion until the
party departed. The music for the dane
ing was furnished by Deverio Maurelio
and Etlo Prestin The chief event of
the outing was the baseball game which
occurred in the afternoon. Contrary to
expectations the game lasted the full
nine innings and resulted in a victory
for the team captained by G. Caleagni
by a score of II to 10. The brunt Of
the battle was thrown upon the win
ners' captain, who accepted everything
within his reach and at the bat hit safe
ly three times out of five. One of these
hits was home run, the longest ever
made on the field. After the game Cal
cagni admitted that without him the
would not have chanced to the
winners. The battery for the winners
was NJ. Comoli and A. NJ Rossi, for
the losers. Keefe and Frontini The an
nual wrestling championship of the club,
which is open to all weights was won by
Edward Anderson. The finals thinned
out to Anderson and Giampolin. An
ierson threw his opponent twice out of
the three times.
The afternoons exercises were presid
ed over by Antonio Fasola, the presi
dent OF the club. The success OF the
outing can well be thrown onto the com
mittee of arrangements, who worked en-
tirely for the past two weeks to make
he affair success. The committee is
of the following: ,Iohn From
TIM, Dr. @. 4. Barr and Joseph Clam
polini.

The general impression among Demo-

chances for the nomination were prac-
tically gone. He had lost strength on
practically every ballot Saturday. At
least five states with instructed dele
gates for Clark broke from him. A large
part of the delegates lost by Clark were
gathered in by Wilson, who in spite of
the deadlock slowly forged ahead.
William j, Bryan catapulted himself
into the situation again Saturday. He
led the revolt from Clark and his turn
on his old friend presented one of the
most dramatic scenes that this extra
ordinary convention has witnessed
Bryan took the platform and an
that as an instructed delegate
from Nebraska he could no longer sup
port Clark because of his alliance with
Charles f. Murphy and Tammany hall
He added that he would not support
any candidate in this convention whose
could not be brought about
without the support of New York's nine
ty delegates. Bryan announced that he
would therefore turn from Clark and
support Nebraska's second choice, Wood
row Wilson. This announcement was
greeted by one of the biggest demonstra-
tions thus far witnessed in the conven-
ton,

Store.

An important business transaction was
closed last week when Richard Calderara
who conducts provision store on Cen
ter street, purchased the grocery estab-
lishment of Carlo Merlo, which is located
on North Main street The sale of the
establishment, which is one Of the oldest
of dealers in imported goods, was
brought about that Mr. Merlo, who is
one of Barre's oldest mechants, might
retire Mr.. Merlo established his bus
mess seventeen years ago at 81 North
Main street. At that time he was one
of the few provision dealers that car
ried imported goods in stock He was
at 81 North Main street for twelve
years, then moving his stock to the
Merlo block on Granite street. A little
over a year he transferred his stock 10

who bought the establishment, has been
dealing in provisions for the past few
years on Center street. This morning
he commenced the transfer of the new
stock to his Center stret store. Mr..
Calderara has secured the services of

PAUL PLAISTED MISSING.
Left Home for East Barre Middle of
Last Week, Not There.

Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Plaisted of AZ
Merchant street are somewhat concerned
over the prolonged absence of their son,
Paul Plaisted, who left home in the mid
die OF last week with the intention of
going to East Barre for visit Since
his departure, the Plaisteds have not
an inquiry set on foot last night failed
to reveal any signs of his whereabouts
Young Plaisted frequently leaves home
for indefinite visits and his parents still
cling to the belief that he will advise
them of his present location within
few days. When asked this morning as
to the boys destination when he left
home, Mr.. Plaisted stated that he pro-
posed to secure employemnt in East
Barre for time. The father denied that
his son had departed with circus which
showed in Montpelier Saturday. In re-
ferring to other details of report given
out about the lads disappearance, Mr..
Plaisted ~scoffed at the story OF the
mother going to Montpelier and dis
traetedly CRYING out for her lost child.
Young Paul did not go near the circus.
according to his fathers story, and if
his statement is to be believed, the boy
will surely return home within a week
or two.
The boys father does not hold the
theory that Paul has gone far away. He
asserts that the boy has a peculiar pro-
pensity for wandering away to the homes
of his friends, and as he has always
returned in the past, Mr.. Plaisted has
not vet felt that the circumstances call
for alarm.

Murder Victim Is Close

Woonsocket, R. T., July 1.-The find :
ing yesterday of some bloody clothing
believed to have belonged to the woman
whose headless body was found in the
mill trench between Woonsocket and
Manville last Tuesday, led the police to
take Henry Destover into custody on
suspicion of having some knowledge OF
the case.
Destover identified the clothing as that
of Angelo Parmenter, aged 27 years,
with whom he had been living for year
and who has been missing for five weeks.
Destover was examined at the police
station, but denied any knowledge of the
whereabouts of the Parmentier woman.
He was detained for further questioning.
A reward of 81 900 offered by Gov.
Aram j. Pothier for information leading
to the apprehension and conviction OF the
person responsible for the woman's death
caused large crowds yesterday to search
the vicinity of the canal for the miss
ing head of the woman or for some clue
to her identity.

Central Vermont Takes Deeds
to Land
FOR ITS QUARRY ROAD s $ L
Road Takes Granite .SSs rotting Park
Property, Dan A. 5er Property in
Barre Town, Part of Bolster Farm,
and Other Places in Barre Town.

| That the incorporators of the Barre
Granite railroad are determined to push
their proposed line to the quarries and
| WiRiamstown through to completion
within the next few months was dis
closed to-day, when an attorney repre-
senting the company took up the last
OF some twenty options secured on prop
erty hereabouts. The largest deal in
volved in the company's purchase is the
transfer of the Bolster property skirting
Ayers street and the Barre railroad,
known as the driving park. The deed
conveying the land, comprising over 20
acres, and the buildings with the excep-
tion of the barn, was passed to-day.
The consideration named was not an
nounce1.
Next in Importance to the driving park
secured by the company are large strips
OF land purchased from Deputy Sheriff
A. NJ. Morrison in the vicinity of Batch
elder street. portion of the farm in
Barre Town owned by Dan A. Fraser,
and section of Mrs. Calista Bolster's
property in Barre Town. Deputy Sheriff
Morrison conveys a house along with the
land decided to the railroad Mr.. Fraser
sells a right of way extending the entire
length of his farm and a sizeable strip
is released from possession by Mrs. Boil
ster. Of the remaining purchases, many
are OF minor Importance. Small pieces
of land necessary for right of way
include continuous strip of land along
Brooklyn street. which is secured from
different owners.
Counsel representing the Barre Gran
ite railroad intimated to-day that work
on the new line would be started within
a few months. The company plans to Sc
cure other desirable pieces of land in the
path of its proposed line. and negotia-
tions to complete the right of way
through to the quarres and Williams
town win be closed within. few DAYS.
The preliminary surveys were made by
Grand Trunk engineers last winter, and
with the completion of the cross sec
tons. which must be secured before ac-
tiSe operations can be started, the plans
will be placed in the hands of the build
ers.
According to the statement given Dub
by the railroad attorneys this forenoon,
it was the purpose of the purchasers to
convert large portion of the driving
park into railroad yard. with a surplus
of room for terminal facilities That the
Central Vermont road has long been
cramped for yard room in this city has
been known for some time, and it is
believed that some of the congestion ex
isting in the yards viii be relieved when
the yards off Ayers street are completed
A number of stone shed sites will be
reserved in the newly acquired tract,
and excellent opportunities to build will
be offered.
In sense the passing of the driving
park will be source of regret to local
horsemen, as well as to large part of
the public II was established 25 years
ago. and in its existence some fast
horses have been urged over the speed
course. When the Granite City Driving
club ends its races at the park nexr
Friday. the course will probably be
closed to races for all time.
