JEWET-T CITY
Sneak Thief Walks Away With Pay Telephone station-Burning of Tar Barfels-Fire on Roof of Blacksmith Shon.

Pay station telephone 95 at the Jewett City hotel has been moved, but not in the regulation manner pre- scribed by the company. The telephone is one of the new pay sort, all compact in a metal case. It contains the coin receiver oh top, the coin bell. receiver, transmitter and battery and is a port able affair with a handle by which it may be carried. Its regular place is at the desk in the hotel office Some time Tuesday, during few moments when the office was left alone, someone snealKed in. cut both wires and success : fully got away with the whole busi- ness. No one can tell the amount of money which it contained. Some little time ago a. penny in the slot candy machine was stolen. The officials say this is the, newest stunt of all.
 Six Tar Barrels Burned.
 The explanation is at hand for what borough people thought might be an eruption of Vesuvirs Shortly after noon Sunday a; vast column of thick. black smoke rolled hundreds of feet skyward from a point above the town. It proved to be the burning of six barrels of tar left at the borough line on the state road last winter for use in spring repairs. The barrels became .ignited from a fire in a lot near by, said to have been set by a passing engine Yet some who were there think differently. At all events, it is believed the fire could have been kept i from the oil barrels, as there is an almost continuous parade on the state road at this point all day Sunday
