Goldstein's arrest followed the discovery by the police early Sunday of a well-planned attempt to burn the eight-tenement block in which his store is situated. The odor of gaso line aroused some of the tenants on the second floor and a search was made for the source of the smell. The police were called in when it was traced to the cellar, and only prompt action prevented what would probably have been a bad fire, menacing the lives of 60 or more people. On a stairway the police found a lighted candht standing on a tape, which ran down the cellar staira and into the cellar of the store occupied by Goldstein. The tape was saturated with gasoline its whole length and newspapers were also wet with the inflammable liquid.

Two persons in Chittenden county jail atempted to com rait suicide over Sunday and in both in stances they were nearly successful. An odd part of it was that neither one kuew the other and the attempts at self de struction took place only a short time after they placed in confinement. One raaiTcut his throat and the other tried hanging. The first would-be suicide was William Andrews of St. Paul street.

Only last week his wife obtained a divorce from him, which. fact has no doubt preyed on his mind and he took to drinking. A complaint to the police office Saturday night was to the effect that he was making a disturbance. An officer went down and took Andrews to jail, lodging him there by virtue of a mittimus winch called for a sentence of some time in an old intoxication case. About 11:30 o'clock, just after the lights were out, a strange sound was heard coming from the cell Andrews was confined, and an investigation was made.

Deputy Sheriff Todd asked Andrews what the matter was, and the man replied that he was Buffering from a hemorrhage and that he had often had them. A little later, however, he -said he had cut his throat. Dr Flanders was called and attended him. It was found that Andrews had slashed his throat with a pocket knife, making several gashes but none of which was serious. He was taken to the Mary Fletcher hospital, where he was resting comfortably at last reports.

The only serious part of the affair is that the knife blade penetrated the windpipe, which may induce pneumonia. When Andrews was taken to tne jail the usual search was made ard the various articles in his pocket were taken from him. The officer making the search found, in addition, a bottle of "split," concealed in the leg of his trousers. It is supposed that he smuggled the knile into his coll in the same manner. After he cut his throat he threw the knife into the.

corridor, where it was found later. The next man to try the suicide route was John Francis. He was arrested in the afternoon yesterday while riding about the city in a livery sleigh with his wile and young bov. Husband and wife had been drinking freely and were finally overcome by too frequent HitationB, both of them losing their upright posi tion in the sleigh and sinking into slumber in the bottom of the rig. They were in this condition when the police finally located them after, several complaints came in about them, the pair were locked up and seemed to sober off towards night.

Francis ate his supper and then retired to his cell. In a very i short time he was discovered hanging from the upper bunk in the cell to which he had attached a short piece of blanket torn from his bed. The end knotted around his neck was strong and the man was -rapidly choking to death when dis covered. He was black in the face and unconscious, Dr. Flanders was again called and after working over the man for a time brought Jrancis back to his senses.

The coincidence of two attempted suicides within 24 hours at the jail was certainly an odd one. (It couldn't have been the lail fare they were tired of, because they had hardly opportunity to test it. DESPONDENT WOMAN'S ACT. Mrs. Abbie Patterson Moran of Brattle- boro Hanged Herself.

Brattleboro, Feb. 2. Mrs. Abbie Pat terson Moran, 63 years, widow of Dennis Moran, committed suicide about one o'clock yesterday afternoon in her home on Central street by hanging herself with a short piece of clothes line extend ed from the post of her bed. She had been in poor health for nearly a year and despondent at one time, but her friends did not anticipate such a rash act.

She evidently premeditated the act as she asked Mrs. Barrett to come up stairs when she returned from church, saying that if the front door was locked she could come up the back way, as she always left that entrance unlocked. Casper Moran, a nephew by marriage, went to the house shortly after one o'clock and, being unable to arouse his aunt, nquired of Mr. lsarrett people, who felt sure she was upstairs. After anoth er trial at the front door, Mrs.

Barrett went up the back way and found Mrs. Moran on her knees but did not discover the rope around her neck until she had taken hold of her. She called the neighbors and John Skinner and Hugh Agnew cut the rope at once. Dr. heeler was summoned but it was thought she had been dead about half an hour.

Miss Hope Howard, who lived with her, was away over Sunday. Mr9. Moran was born in Londonderry October 1, 1850. She was A member of the Universalis church and Dennis Re- bekah lodge, of this town. She is sur vived by two brothers.

John Patterson of Walpole and Edwin Patterson of Put ney, and three sisters, Mrs. frank Dun bar of Somerville, Mrs. Nellie M. oohdge of State street, Springfield, and Mrs. William Blithe of Peru street, the same city.

In the event of a tie, the third match would be played at Montpelier. Unless a good old-fashioned weather adage is to go woefully astray this year there will be 40 days more of winter, as enough of the sun shone out to-day to cause a big black shadow to follow in the wake of the traditional bears that ceased to hibernate for a few hours this afternoon. Indeed, the sun came out just in time to prolong the winter, for hardly a ray from Old Sol has broken through the clouds in a week until this morning.

In some countries the weather legend of Candelmas day centers around the ground hog but a majority of believers in the tradition that the weather of Feb. i governs that of the coming two months believe that it is the bear instead of the woodchuck who leaves bis hole and looks for shadows.

Frank McGuire, who operates a liverv stable at upper Graiiiteville, was in the city to-day investigating a runaway accident in which one of his best horses became lodged in the Barre railroad tres tle above Ayers street last evening and was extricated with great difficulty. He says the horse was" hired by an Italian quarryman, whose name he doesn't know, and the man hasn't shown up yet. Jhe horse ran from South Main street, and at the Barre 'railroad crossing it wheeled and started up the track to the trestle which is 25 feet high over the river. Jhe horse negotiated the ties until about half way across on the way back to Graniteville, when all four legs went through the interstices and the animal slumped down and couldn't move one way or the other. Meanwhile, the driver, shouting at the top of his lungs, was trailing the horse, until on reacliing the railroad crossing he saw that the horse had taken to the trestle and he then "legged it" for all he was worth in another direction, being last seen making tracks along Ayers street.

Attracted by bis shouts and by the noise of the animal's flounder ing, many people were attracted to the trestle. After holding a consultation, the vol unteers set about the task of extricating the animal. First they got one leg out and then another, after which thev proceeded to tie the two feet together. When the other legs were hauled out and tied together, the horse was skidded down the track to firm ground. It was thought the animal had frac tured one or more legs and perhaps sustained internal injuries; but an exam-, ination failed to show any serious injury, after which the horse was removed to Page's stable to recuperate from its experience.

I he man who hired the horse yester day morning to drive to this city had not shown up this morning at Graniteville, according to Mr. McGuire. FRUIT STORE SOLD. Henry Diversi Disposes of Business to Joseph Marchetti. The Diversi fruit store in the A.
