that in the near future another would

Miss Belle Clark, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Allan Clark of this city, and John
BELOW, son OF Mr.. and Mrs Frank Bel
low of Woburn, Mass, were united in
marriage at Woburn yesterday after
noon. After the wedding ceremony the
couple left on a few weeks trip through
New York state. On returning they
will make their home at Winchester,
Mass, where Mr. BELOW is engaged as
ticket agent on the Boston and Maine
railroad. The bride is well known in
Barre, having resided here until four
years ago when she went to Woburn,
Mass. Alto Mariana of this city attend
ed the wedding.
After a diligent search, officers from
the police headquarters have enlarged
their clues that will probably lead to
the apprehension OF the person who
broke into the little store conducted by
B. P. Shadroie on South Main street.
The officers found traces leading TO the
small wood patch at the short distance
in the rear of the store. In the bushes
they found the patent match-vending
machine, which was rihed of its pennies.
The perpetrator cracked the vending ma
chine and took what few pennies were
in it. Entrance was gained to the build
ing by forcing small window on the
south side.

ENJoIN TRACTION COMPANY.
Is Montpelier's Plan to Prevent Raise of
Rate on Trolley Line.

The Montpelier city council held its
regular meeting last night and the two
most important matters transacted were
the acceptance of the resignation of the
city attorney, Burton +. Bailey, who
has been appointed postmaster, and a
vote instructing the city council to take
the necessary steps to enjoin the trac-
tion company from raising the street
car fares from five to six cents Mr..
Bailey's resignation takes effect June 30
and before that time the council will
appoint his successor
County Road Commissioner r. s. Cur
rier has offered to give $500 for road
work from the Grout farm to Jewett's
mills, if the city will appropriate like
amount. This is outside the regular
state appropriation. The council voted
this amount, but preferred that it be
spent nearer the city. Sidewalks came
up for considerable discussion and in
some instances it was left with the may
or to award contracts with concreters,
etc.
The council voted that a. temporary
loan, not to exceed $4,000 in antici-
patton of taxes be secured A number
Of new electric lights were ordered in
stalled and the usual bills, payrolls and

Postmasters Of the United States held
its opening session in Montpelier yes
terday. with about 35 postmasters in

toll state president, presided. The sched-
uled speeches were somewhat frustrat-
ed; Mayor Boutwell, was out of the city

port was given. This showed bal
ance of S54.09, with disbursements Of

the state there are 43l postmasters, and
of these 24S are members of the league.
Postmaster Joseph G.. Brown of Mont
pelier gave an address on Patrons of
the Office" and this was followed by
discussion on the parcel post and sec
ond-class mail matter, led by A. t. Da-
Wis of Marshfeld.
The evening session opened at s.
o'clock with an address by j. l.. Camp
bell, postmaster at Northampton, Mass.
and president of the New England As
sociation of Postmasters Having been
been postmaster for 20 years, he was
able to speak authoritatively on the sub
ject, "A Well Balanced Postoffice." Al
question box was then conducted and
discussions followed Music was fur
nished by the 0rpheus quartet of Barre,
AT fhis Oorninu'S session officers Were
elected for the ensuing year as follows:
President, H. L. Warner, Pawlet; vice
president, n. A. Doe, Danville; secre
tary- treasurer, George H. Royce, John
son; executive committee, H. K. Davis, !
and Ernest +. Chase, Roch-
ester. The small fourth.class postoffices
want an increase in pay, according to
sentiment expressed at the meeting, and
the second class offices want better |

tions and during the day over 200 mem

cause of the excessive heat. Members

churches assembled on the field during
the early forenoon and trains DIP until
early afternoon continued to transport
the picknicers to the ground. The out
ing was in every respect big success,
which was attributed in no small de-
gree to the untiring efforts of the re-
spective committees. At noontide a
basket lunch was served in the shady
groves of the park. Early in the aft
ernoon the athletic events were contest
ed in which the Barre lads were triumph
ant. Walter Tobin was a conspicuous

the 5O.yard dash and with his brother
landed the three legged race. The an

es OF the twin-city churches, the Barre
bows won hard hitting game by the
score OF II to s. Ralph Tobin was in
the points for the Barre team and. all
though hit hard at times, escaped
through the nine innings with but few
scars of the battle. His brother, Wal
ter Tobin. acted as his batterymate. c.
Cleaves and George Steele formed the
battery for the losing team. There
were several brilliant plays scattered
through the nine innings that tended to
pnliven the game although the feature
was the heavy hitting that predominant
ed in the work of both teams. The COM
mittee OF the Iniversalist church of this
,ity was headed by Harold Fits and
Ralph Tobin. George Steele was in
charge OF the Montpelier committee.

BIG FAILURE
IN NEW YORK
Drygoods House of H. B.
Clafin Company Goes
to the Wall
DEBTS AGGREGATE
$35,0OO,O00, 1T is SAID
Allied Business Firms Are
Not Included in
Crash

New York, June %. The great dry
goods house of the II. B. Claain com
pany failed to-day with liabilities OF
$35, 100000, while the assets are estimat-
ed to be $40000,000. There were two
proceedings one friendly and the other
unfriendly, which threw the firm into
bankruptcy. Receivers We're named and
placed under bonds of S5o0,000 each.
The Claflin company owns or is affili
ated with about 80 retail stores through
out the United States, and the endorse
ment OF their paper held by more than
5000 banks here and in interior cities
caused the crash.
The United States Dry Goods com.
panes and the Associated Merchants
company, although affiliated with the
Clahin company through stock control,
were in no way involved in the failure.
Their chain of stores remain intact.
Hope is expressed also that the Claflin
retail enterprises would be saved.
Unless blocked by the creditors, re-
organization Of the failed firm is contem
plated, according to a statement issued
by John Claflin, president of the com
pany.
Although the failure is perhaps the
most important in the dry goods trade
of this country, New York bankers pre-
diet that the chief general effect win be
the temporary Generalization of the dry
goods trade. influential banking inter
ests believe the retail houses the Clatlh
controls are financially sound,
but they described the crash as the big
gest mercantile disaster the country ever
has known.
