Estimated at $1,000.

SETTLED SLIGHT FURRY.
Announcement of the ST. Paul Cutters
Agreement with P. NJ Peterson.

Angus Mcdonald, secretary of the
Barre branch of the Granite Cutters
international union, received telegram
this morning from Joseph Keepers, sec
retary and treasurer of the st. Paul,
Mimi. branch of the union, in which it
was stated that p. n. Peterson, promi-
nent St. Paul granite dealer, has signed
an agreement with the granite cutters
at that place.
The signing of this agreement at st.
Paul probably removes the cause of a
slight furry in the shop of Novell &
Calcagni in Barre. where $4,000 monu-
ment is being cut for Mr.. Peterson. Be-
cause Of the fact that the st. Paul cut
ters were in dispute with Mr.. Peterson,
having been out since April |. the To-
cal cutters were loath to work on Mr..
Peterson's contract. Last night matters
came to head and il was decided by
the cutters in that plant not to continue
work on that job. To-day's announce
ment of the settlement of the difficulty
came after the morning whistles had
blown.

Little Joe Rogers, the l3-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Rogers Of
II Boynton street. escaped death by a
slender margin late yesterday afternoon
when he slipped into the waters Of Jail

stream on stepping stones. In falling,
tie Rogers boy struck his head on a
stone and was rendered temporarily un
conscious His head sank below the
surface OF the water and had it not
been for the proximity of a crowd Of
swimmers, the boy would have in all
probability drowned, The swimmers
were disportiug themselves few rods
mp the stream when one OF the number
happened to see young Rogers fall.
As the lad did not regain his feet. all
ci the party ran with one accord to his
assistance.
Before the bank was reached il was
seen that young Rogers had been quite
badly injured. Blood was streaming
from his. head and after partially re-
gaining consciousness, he complained of
pains about his left side. While one of
his rescuers ran TO summon a physician,
the others started to carry the injured
lad to his home on Boynton street. Near
the B street intersection OF Batchelder

into his wagon. turned his steed about,
and carried him the remainder OF the

CAMPFIRE GIRLS ON STAGE.
Presented Farce Comedy Written by
One of Their Number.

An entertainment of an unusual char.
acter took place in the chapel of the
Spaulding high school last evening, when
the members of the Wah-Wah- -Tay. See
patrol of the Fahocha campfire girls of
the Congregational church presented a
three-act comedy farce. A great deal of
the interest centered around the writer
OF the play, who was also one of the
leading characters in the cast. The
name of the pl at" ",yehUgTMRAHTFH
name Of the play, "The Gormandizert
ette," is supposed to represent girl
who is very fond of eating and who has
grown to very great proportions. Most
of the excitement centers around her.
A good many took the opportunity
of hearing a locally written farce pre-
sented, and the chapel was pretty well
filled with anxious listeners. Between
the acts delicious home, made candy was
on sale in the hall. A trio composed of
the Misses Murdena and Joena Smith
and Emma Slayton rendered selections
between the acts. These were enjoyed
very much.
The writer of the play is Mayis Bar
nett, daughter of Rev. j. w. Barnett.
pastor of the Congregational church.
She wrote the play merely as a pastime,
but on the advice of her girl friends she
decided to stage it, and this she did
well. To Miss Barnett falls
much of the credit of the success of the
The play is very inter
esting and full of comedy from beginning
to end.
Miss Nellie Perrin, guardian of the
camp, had charge of the performers,
and to her goes no little credit for the
manner in which she trained the char
acters.
The cast of characters as they APP
peared were as follows: Maize Bur
the Gormandizerette, Olive |
Burgess Iva Burke, her room mate, |
Nora Norris Anne Asheleigh, a girl
with hobby. Marguerite Currier; Ruth
Payne, just dear, Elizabeth Hoar;
Elynore van Schuyler, something of a !
