RANKING AS FIRST CLASS.

Increase in PostOffice Business and
Salaries.
Reports received from Washington state
that A. H. Scott, Chief of the Salary and
Allowance Division In the Office Of the First
Assistant POstmaster-General. has COM
pleted an adjustment of the salaries of first
class POstmasters to take effect on the 1st
prox. The total number of frst-class offices
in the United States is 12S, net gain Of
fourteen during the year. The aggregate
OF the salaries of the 12S frst-elass Post
masters is $3.50, 800, an increase cf S41,5O0 as
compared with July /, 1890. The net in
crease of gross receipts which accrued at
the frst-class offices for the wear ended
March 81, 1891, is stated at s., S46,2 PAT,
According to the readJuStment California
has now five frst-elaSs Offices, or those
whose annual receipts are $4,000 or more.
San Jose becomes trSt-claSs office, the re-
cepts for the y ear ending March 3ISt hav-
ing been S40693 an increase OF over $1,000
during the year. San FranciSeo'S Post
master receives no increase by the new ar
rangement, for he already receives all the
law permits, $1,000 year. That is the sal
airy paid the PoStmasterS of all offices whose
receipts are 100000 or more. If the re-
ceiptS mount up to ten times that,
it makes no difference with the salary
after the $1,000 limit is reached. New York

salary there being $1,000. Receipts at the

ANTI-BooDLE AGITATION.

Judge Murphy of the Superior
Court has seen the handwriting on
the wall "4He1,e, meme, tekel uphdr-
Sjn," he appreciates in tie full sense
of the word. Richard Chute, who
is weIl-known politician, was fined
$500 and sentenced to five days in
the County Jail by presiding Judge
Wallace of the Superior Court for
ignoring the subpoena of the Grand
jury to appear before them and give
evidence in connection with the in
vestigation of the scandals affecting
the last State Legislature. After his
sentence Chute procured writ of
habeas corpus alleging that the
Grand Jury which had been chosen
by an elisor appointed by Judge
Wallace, was illegally constituted
and had no power to summon him.
Judge Murphy in his decision de-
clared that the Grand Jury is an
illegal body and let Richard go free.
The Courtroom was crowded and the
decision was listened to with the
most intense interest by the assem-
blage. 1t is regarded as an outrage
and the Grand Jury will ignore the
decision as if it had not been made.
A mass meeting took place last
Friday night at the Metropolitan
Temple which was crowded even to
standing room. Resolutions were
passed condemning Judge Murphy
and sustaining Judge Wallace. The
case now goes to the Supreme Court
which wifi undoubtedly sustain Judge

ELIJAH FILLMORE.

This gentleman, one of Bennington's
most successful farmers, died Monday
morning at o'clock, after long illness.
The immediate cause of death was as
stated last week, following decline of
strength of some years duration. His
farm was disposed of last year to James
c. Colgate of New York, and he passed
the winter in California, returning early
last summer somewhat improved. He
was born in this town Jan. 22d, 1928,
educated in the schools of Bennington
Centre, and was twice married. His
first wife was Abigail Chase, daughter
of the late Samuel Chase. She died in
1859. OF her children three survive:
Willard T., Marshall P. and Mrs. DR.. Ben
nett (Edwina c., while Mrs. w. j. Ran
dali (Eldora Az has been some time de-
ceased. Mr.. Fillmore's second wife was
Ariannah r. Thayer of North Adams.
She died July 31st, 1888, and of her chill
dren two survive: Capt. Henry d. and
Leland L. The funeral was held from
OllO uOuoO VI Cdpbdlu lllllOI6 Ou w Gu
nesday at 2 o'clock, the Rev. NJ. L. Sew
erance officiating. The bearers were old
time friends of the deceased and well
known citizens: Hons. Alfred Robin
son, John V. Carney, Edward Rice,
Messrs. Chas. E. Dewey, Milo c. Huling
and David Carpenter. The interment
was in the Centre cemetery. Mr.. Fill
more was cousin of President Fillmore.
He possessed qualities which made his
services much sought after in the admin
istration of public affairs-thrift, homes
ty, faithfulness and conservatism. By
these qualities he had accumulated a
handsome property. He served for a
long time on the board of selectmen and
was repeatedly elected to the Office of
lister. He had been director of the
Bennington County National Bank and
was a longtime favorite in the admins
tration of estates. His political word of
honor was as good as his business prom
Use, and the latter was always sure to be
honored. In politics he was an old-time
Democrat.

MRS. II. MARTIN HARDWOOD.

Mrs. H. NJ. Harwood, whose death Oc-
CURED from fever, October Goth, at her
home in Southern California, was, dur
ing most of her married life, a resident
of this place. Her maiden name was
Orpha Bruce, and her early years were
passed in Essex county, N. Y, where
she was born.
Some years previous to her marriage
she removed with her fathers family to
Iowa, and became resident of the state.
In 1870 she was married to Henry Mar
tyn Harwood, and came with him to
make their home in Bennington.
Mrs. HARDWOOD early united with the
First Congregational church, and re-
manned faithful and beloved member.
until some three years ago, when she
withdrew to identify herself more closely
with the people of God in her far off
western home. This wife and mother
had the gift of lighting up her home
with Christian su shine. She reared
her children amid sweet and heavenly
amid cares and duties with n quiet and
gentle grace that drew all hearts unto
her. 1t is not strange that her family
and friends all loved her. Her smile
would make any one happy. She was
held in high appreciation by her church.
1t was day of sadness when this family
went out from us, and we felt that we
must give them up to be with us no
more. But it seemed best, and we all
consented. 1t seems best now, as we
look at it in the light of bereavement
The health of some members of the
family seemed to necessitate change of
climate. This change has proved to be
beneficial. 1t may not have fastened
her demise. She was ready to go, and
her Savior drew her to himself. He calls
his own from every place. Let us not
repine because of her promotion.
The esteem in which she was held in
her western home may be seen by the
following testimonial, taken from the
Escondido Times of October Doth: The
funeral took place from the family resi-
dence this Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock, DR.. Harwood, a cousin, officiated
and was assisted by the Rev. C. b. Car
Isle. Though brief the services were
very impressive, the sublime character
of the dead, the feeling remarks and the
silent sorrow of the remaing loved ones
all contributing to the sacredness of the
occasion. Then followed the sad jour
ney to Oak Hill cemetery, where the re-
mains of the loved one were laid 20 rest,
and they were followed thitheT by large
concourse of sympathizing friends and
neighbors.
1t has been written that Death loves a
shining mark Whether that be true or
not here is an instance where he has laid
low one who, when intelligence, Chris
tan virtue and grand character are TAX
en- into consideration, shone as a bright
and particular star-one of the gentlest
noblest, loveliest, most fervent, patient
and truest of friends-a wife and mother,
the memory of whom can never be dim
med. There was, there could be, no
grander woman, and her family, this
community and the church which she
honored by becoming a member, have
lost one whose place can never be filled.
