Way To Lake Champlain.

Those of the Old Timers club who
were attracted to police headquarters on
Tuesday afternoon by the seductive
fumes of king alcohol that were waited
up and down Prospect street called it a
rspillin'" as they saw hundred gallons
of good. red, sour mash go gurgling down
the sewer. but a quartet of regular Off
GERS and the specials gathered there to
perform the obsequies designated it by
its very official title, 'the spilling." 1t
was spilling.
On the strength of a destruction war
rant issued from city court, the officers
invaded the musty contraband room in
the basement of city hall and dragged
forth the barrels and bottles, baskets
and cases of beverages, hard and soft.
All told. around four barrels of beer
and ale. sundry quarts of whiskev, wine
and absinthe were consigned to the sew
er mains. The spilling occupied con-
siderable portion of the afternoon, as
the contents of each bottle had to be
poured out. and anyone who has had
any experience pouring liquid of any
kind out of bottle knows what that
means The goods were taken from sew
eral lots seized in recent months by po-
lice and sheritfs.

THEIR NIECE MURDERED.
Pacquette Bros Get Sad News From
Quebec--Blanche Dubois the Victim.

Word has been received in the city by
Alfred and Alphonse Pacquette, mem
bers of the Paequette blacksmith firm,
| of the death of their niece, Miss Blanche
Dubois, who was murdered at Quebec.
+. O., on Sunday morning. Miss Dubois
was well known in Barre. The murder
has created widespread excitement
through the province of Quebec and was
regarded as one of the most atroeious
that has been committed in Quebec. She
was murdered in the store of her mother
by an unknown man. who struck her on
the head with large hammer. The
police of Quebec are baffled in their en-
deavors to locate the murderer.
The murder happened on Sunday
morning at time when the streets were
crowded. Mrs. Eugene Dubois and
daughter resided in an apartment over a
shoe store conducted by the former at
the corner of st. Waller and Sauvageau
streets, opposite st. Sauveur church.
About l0:30 o'clock party appeared
at the store and by his persistence at
tracted the attention of Miss Dubois
She secured the KEY of her mother to 60
below and wait on the customer, who
wished to exchange pair OF
shoes purchased the night previous.
After half hour Miss Dubois did not
return and her mother became anxious.
She descended to the store and was con-
fronted with the sight of her daughter
lying in pool of blood, with hammer
lying by her side. When her mother
arrived, life was not extinct. Medical
aid was called but the girl died within
an hour. The girls skull was found
badly fractured and n portion of her
brain was also found on, the floor. The
Quebec police believe that the crime was
premeditated. 1t was discovered that
the box the man carried under his arm
did not contain shoes, as supposed, but
heavy iron instruments. The blow was
struck as the girls back was turned.
The theory of theft is not strongly
credited. Suspicion Of the murder has
been directed to two young men. who
have had considerable trouble with the
Dubois family of late and it is said
that. one of the due had uttered threat
ening remarks to the young lady.

HAS NO INTENTION
OF RESIGNING
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, For
mer American Charge at
Mexico City, Is Said to
Have Told President Will
son Some Inside Informa-
ton Concerning Condi-
tiOns i'm Mexico

Washington, D. c., May 49, Tha
General Huerta, preparing for crisis II
his dictatorship, has long been planning
to leave Mexico City with troops ant
make last stand at Puebla, midway
between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, wa
understood to-day to have been told t.
President Wilson by Nelson 0'Shaugh
messy, former charge of the American
embassy in the Mexican capital.
1t is said that President Wilson wal
informed that Huerta had picked Pueblo
for his last refuge in case the rebel as
sailants get too close to Mexico City
and that late developments caused hin
Immediately to begin fortifying and pro
visioning Puebla.
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy is said to have told
the president that Huerta had no inten-
ton of resigning, but he realized, too
that his regime could not last long. He
also told the president that the number
of Huerta's troops had been greatly ex-
aggerated. In reality, the number of the
troops is from 1000 to 5000 men.
A report has reached the navy depart
ment that the artillery duel between the
consttutionalists and the federals at
Tampico ceased late yesterday.
Washington, d. G., May 49, Elimina-
tion of General Huerta and the establish
ment of provisional government in
Mexico in which both the Huerta and
the constitutional factions would be rep
resented is contemplated in plan which
the three South American mediators
now are working out to be proposed for
the solution of the entire Mexican prob
lem.
This, the first intimation as to the
details of the mediation plans became
known last night, though neither media
tors nor state department officials would
make any statement as to how nearly
complete is the plan to be submitted to
the American and Mexican delegates
when they meet the South American
envoys at Niagara Falls, Canada, next
Monday.
1t was learned that the proposal
might be that the setting up of tenn
porarv government be undertaken by a
commission composed of five persons,
two of them to be named by Huerta,
two by the constitutionalists and the
fifth by the mediators.
While the mediators have withdrawn
their invitation to the constitutionalists
to send delegates to their conference at
Niagara Falls, it is generally believed
that information is being sought as to
whether the constitutionalists would con
sent in case of the elimination of Huerta
TO some form of temporary government
in which he would be represented

N. Y, Man in Home Wedding.

Randolph, May l3.--The home Of Mr.
and Mrs. ID. d. Howe on Central street
was the scene of pleasant wedding on
Monday, when the only daughter, Miss
Florence Louisa Howe, and Donald Clark
Wedgeworth of Syracuse, N. Y, were
united in marriage, Rev. G. w. Smith,
who has recently been called to st. Al
bans, performing the ceremony. The
bridal party entered the parlor to the
strains of the bridal march from Lohen-
grin, played by Ernest Hatch, and took
their station in the bay window, which
had been banked by ferns and potted
plants. The single ring service of the
Episcopal church was observed. The
bride was beautifully gowned in en-
broidered voile, with shadow lace and
pearl trimmings, and carried bouquet
of pink and white flowers. The brides
maid, Miss Bessie Holden of Randolph
Center, wore gown of lavender mar
quisette and carried white carnations.
The groom's attendant was James r.
Seaver of New York City. The brides
going away suit was of blue crepe, with
hat to match.
Following the ceremony, which was
witnessed by 80 relatives and friends,
there was a delicious lunch, the brides
companion nurses, Misses Nellie Billings
and Clara Grout, and Miss Trevithick
and a nurse from Manchester, N. H.,
Miss Minnie Campbell, serving the same.
The couple left at once for a wedding
trip by automobile. and on their return
will 90 to Oneida lake for the summer,
after which they will be at home in
Syracuse, where Mr.. Wedgeworth is a
civil engineer. Numerous gifts of cut
glass, silver and linen, and other articles
proved the affection of many friends for
the bride, who has so efficiently man
aged the affairs of the sanatorium,
where she has been the head nurse for
three years. II is with regret that Miss
Howe's resignation there was received,
for in her relation there she has gained
many friends at the institution and also
outside. who will wish for her much hap
piness in her new home.
Among the friends from out of town
here to attend the wedding, were Miss
Minnie Campbell OF Manchester. n. H.,
Miss Gates from Windsor, Mr.. and Mrs.

NO WARLIKE MOVE
DURING ARMISTICE
Declared Mexican Commander of Mexi-
can Positions Nearest to Vera Cruz
Rebels Cannot Attack Mexico
City for Weeks.

Vera Cruz, May l3. General Funston
need fear no trouble along the outer
lines, if letter sent into this city last
night by General Rubio Navarette, in
command of advanced positions of Mexi-
cans is true indication of the Mexi-
cans attitude.
General Navarette, in a letter to a
local paper, said, regarding the reported
movement of his forces against Vera
Cruz; Il beg you to deny this news,
since, in accordance with orders, all
movements are stopped while the armis-
tice lasts"
1t appears improbable that the rebels
viii be in position to attack the capital
for many days and perhaps weeks, but
a growing feeling of unrest among the
residents and a few high officers of the
army in Mexico City is said to have
been manifesting signs of unwillingness
to support man whom they regard as
already defeated and in whose policy
they do not fully agree.

two-year- old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
David Hevenstone. who live on Park
street, died at o'clock on Monday night
with diphtheria, after an illness of a
few DAYS. The first of the week it was
thought that the child had pneumonia,
but later it was found to be diphtheria
and there was no relief from the same.
Owing to the quarantine, none of the
family was allowed to 90 TO the burial

that city came down after the re-
mains and they were taken there on
Tuesday morning No further cases
have developed and it is hoped there win
be no other eases, notwithstanding there
had been no precaution taken on account
of lack of knowledge about the nature
of the disease.
