MIR. Jas. s. Morrill,, son Of Senator Nor
rill, who spent last winter in Brattleboro, has
been appointed to have charge Of the treas
ury department exhibit at the New Orleans
exposition, and left Washington on Monday to
assume the duties Of the position. The Bos-
ton Herald's despatch Gays, with truth, that
"Mr Morrill, is young gentleman Of intelli-
gence and energy who viii prove himself eff.
cient in the important place to which he has
been assigned" According to some Of the
correspondents there is i'll feeling in WASH
ington because young Morrill, was given the
position over the heads Of old treasury en-
ployes who wanted it.
The midnight Marriage" at Crosby
Barry company, was one of the strongest
dramatic presentations ever witnessed in
Brattleboro. The marked success achieved
by Mr.. Redmund and Mrs. Barry In this piece
is won strictly by faithful, straightforward
devotion to the principles of true dramatic
art, without once appealing to popular favor
through stage tricks or olap-trap. In every
particular their presentation is dignifed, ar.
tistic in the true sense, and Wholesome. The
support is good, and in two or three instances
is notably excellent. The costuming is ele-
giant and the setting Of the play satisfactory
in all respects.
There was only moderate sized attend
snce at the village meeting on Monday eve
ming. The vote to adopt the charter amend
ment changing the date OF the annual meet
ing to the first Tuesday in May was carried
by exclamation, without discussion and with
out q voice in the negative. This having
been done, all the other articles in the war.
rant were passed over excepting the one re-
lating to the pay OF the firemen. Under this
article it was voted to pay the members Of
the fire department one dollar each for their
past years services, the same as heretofore.
The meeting then adjourned As stated last
week the treasurer's annual statement makes
very favorable showing of the financial
condition OF the village. 1t is estimated that
now on hand will be required to meet all
necessary payments until the annual meeting
in May

II is true that Charless Grandmother is
growing old, and it may even be true that she
is growing a trife foolish but she is neither
so old nor 80 foolish as TO be caught by him

lodged and skulked for the whole summer
afterward, and has never paid the money to

was furnished him with a suddenness which

The failure of T. w. Friuk, jeweler
was announced last Monday. About yea
ago Geo. Z. Crowell and F. w. Childs be
came bis sureties on a bank note for 5000
taking chattel mortgage on ell the goods il
! bis store as their security. Ga Monday Mr.
Frink informed them that his market credit
ors we're pressing him for settlements whict
he could not make, and Mr. Childa therefor,
took possession of the store under the mort
gage On Wednesday afternoon j. g. Eddy
representing a Boston creditor, tried to Gus
Mr.. Childs through writ Of attachmen
placed in Sheriff Starkey's hands for service
aud Mr.. StArkey spent the afternoon in watch
ing the store and Mr.. Childs under Eddy
orders, but the latter finally gave his job nj
a. something that couldn't be done. Mr.
Frink's liabilities are about $40, 900, most o
which is for money owed for goods to iobber
and manufacturers in Boston and New Yorl
and IN two or three Connecticut towns Hi
debts to Brattleboro parties are small Whit
ney & Co. of Boston are the largest credit
ors, their claim being for about $500. Th,
assets are represented to be between $1,000
and $4,000, the goods in the store represent
ing nearly $4,000 in value. The probability
is that Mr.. Frink will go into insolvency
that a compromise will be made with hi
creditors after the claim of Crowell ant
Childs is satisfied, and that he will then re
sumo business.
