RICH TREASURES IN ANTIQUES
Have Been Added to the Collection of
Barre Historical Society.

A most desirable addition has recently
been made to the line OF portraits on the
walls of the historical room. This gift
to the Barre Historical society is from
f. l.. Mackenzie of Woodstock, and is the
portrait of George w. Collamer, father of
the late Mrs. Mackenzie.
This picture is valuable acquisition,
both because of its artistic merits and
also because it is the likeness of one who,
in the middle of the 10Th century, was a
very prominent citizen of Barre.
First clerk under Major Ira Day, soon
Mr.. Collamer, by his thrift and business
sagacity, became proprietor of the old
"checkered store" recently replaced by
the new Aldrich building. The Collamer
residence was the brick house which oc-
cupied the site where Hotel Barre and
the Baptist church now stand.
Mr.. Colamer was prominently ident-
fed with the public affairs of the day,
was trustee of Barre academy for many
years and was one of the most generous
contributors and earnest workers to
make possible the erection of the "brick
church" in its present locality. and when
the bell was hung, il was his privilege to
take the tongue upon his shoulder and,
mounting the ladder TO the belfry, hook
the heavy clapper into place and sound
the first stroke upon the bell Mr. Cola
mer was born in 1903 and died in 1864.
The cabinets in the historical room
have also received valuable accessions
through the kindness Of Mrs. r. b. Fow-
Ter of Worcester, Mass. Several OF the
articles are of more than usual historical
interest and antiquarian value Among
them is large covered china mug, which /
was used in the old Gospel Village tavern
when it was owned and managed by |
-hapin Keith in 1910 and later: blue T
md white sugar bowl, which has been a
salued possession in Mrs Fowler's fam
fy for $50 years; an accordion used in
$50 by Henry Wood, who. Of Barres I
ions, is one OF those distinguished as

CONFESSED MURDER.
Man Who Said He Then Tried Suicide BY
Shooting.

New Bedford, Mass, April 3,-An al
legged confession that he had shot Mrs.
Joseph Geffroy of Fall River at the Stag
hotel Saturday night and had then shot
himself, was made last night by Peter
Smirnov while lying on a hospital cot,
according to the police. The police said
that Smirnov had first accused another
man of the shooting but after this man
had been locked up Smirnov himself ad-
mitted that he had himself shot the
woman during a quarrel over money and
had then attempted suicide.
Mrs. GeffrOy was found dead in one
of the rooms of the hotel and Smirnov
later staggered into barber shop with
a story that he had been held up and
shot. Physicians believe that Smirnov
has about an even chance for recovery.
He has bullet wound in the body.
