CLEMENT MITCHELL and wife, living in the
Nicholas block Berlin side, were drunk on
Monday evening, and in the course Of their
carousal they fell to fighting with each
other. They made so much noise that the
police were sent for, and Officer Hunt cap
tured Mitchell at the house. AS they were
going toward the Jail they met Mrs. Mitchell
on Main street. She had stepped out while
her husband was being arrested. The
happy pair were lodged in jail and yester-
day afternoon they were tried before George
w. Wing, Esq. Mitchell was fined S10.0l
and his wife S11.09 for drunkenness, and
the former will be held under surveillance
to keep the peace.
A PROJECT is under discussion here and
in Barre which, if carried out, will probably
completely change the present method of
conducting the granite business. A repre-
sentative of that ubiquitous English syndi-
cate has been here, and, as result of his
Investigations, 1T is proposed to buy all the
granite plants that can be secured. Hon.
l.. w. Reddington, now of New York, is the
agent of the Englishmen. He was here
about the first of the month"; and he asked
the separate firms to name the figures at
which they would sell and to give an option
for four months. The Wetmore & Morse
Company will consider the matter at
special meeting to-day. Several stockhold-
ers are known to favor selling. A dozen or
more Barre firms, owning over half the
quarry land, have given the option. Mr..
Reddngton will sail for England the latter
part of the week, to lay the case before the
syndicate, who will then decide whether
they will accept the prices offered or not. If
the Englishmen really want the business,
they can have it, High prices will induce
almost If not quite every small firm to sell.
II the business is to be carried on by one
large company, a great many changes from
the present way of working are certain, and
possibly much larger business would be
done. The offer of the Wetmore & Morse
property will be conditioned upon the con-
tinued carrying on of the business at this
place.
The marriage of Miss Edith L. Adams,
daughter of j. q. Adams, and Samuel A.
Moss of New Berlin, New York, occurred at
nh IN 1lGt Ual, las,,
evening, in the presence of a very large
number of friends. The church had been
beautifully decorated with ferns and flow
ers, and about the altar in particular the
display was profuse. Wild yellow daisies
were the predominating flower, and the
ferns were so thick that the young couple
were almost hid during the ceremony. A
stand was covered with daisies, and in the
window of the chancel were two bouquets
of roses, while at the front was a large and
handsome bouquet of white lilies AT the
entrance TO each pew was bouquet either
of lilies or daisies. The whole effect was
exceedingly pretty. Previously to the en-
trance of the bridal party the organist
ii. III. Scribner, gave two serenades, by
Scharwenka and Tosca, and when the
bride and groom appeared the wedding
march from Lohengrin was played. Mrs

to the chancel rail by Mr.. Moss, and Miss
Adams and her father entered together
The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr.
Gilbert of New York, brother-in-law of the
groom, assisted by Rev j. G. Flanders. The
service was given added beauty and solem-
nifty by appropriate music, softly rendered
by Mr.. Scribner, and at its conclusion the
wedding march of Mendelssohn was played
The ushers We're Fred Adams, brother of
the bride, George Viles, e. e. Blakely, h.
b, Denny, Fred j, McCuen and Arthur G..

reception was given at the home of the
brides parents on State street to the more
intimate friends. Here, too, the display of
flowers was very elaborate, white and pond
lilies being especially numerous. The pres
ents received were many and beautiful. The
groom gave the bride a pair of diamond ear
ornaments valued at $500, and Mr.. Adams,
brother of the bride, presented her gold
