TOWNSHEND.
The uo,ynrd-nrook. wedding.

The event of the season occurred We'd
nesday, when David Y. Howard and Miss
Minnie II. Brooks were united in marriage
bonds. The day was as fine as September
knew how to furnish. The ceremony was
performed in the Congregational church,
Rev. c. II. Smith officiating, assisted by
Rev. c. ID. II. Meacham of the Baptist
church. The church had been deliberately
and tastefuly decorated for the occasion
and was filled to its fullest capacity by an
audience which included not only the peO-
pie of the village but of the whole town,
besides numerous guests from abroad.
Mrs. w. A. Eddy presided at the organ
and soon after 1920 A. NJ. the bridal party
entered the church; first the six ushers,
c. 4. Howard, brother of the bridegroom,
G.. A. Brooks, brother of the bride, Asa
and Byron Thompson, cousins of the
bride, Harry Franklin and Willie Brooks.
Then followed the bridemaids, the Misses
Celia and Ida Thompson, Misses Mary
and Maud Howard, Miss Bertha Brooks
and Miss Blanche Brigham, and then the
bride and groom. The party having taken
their places, prayer was offered by Rev. c.
ID. r. Meacham, and the words were
spoken by Rev. c. ii. Smith which united
the eXpectant couple.
After the service at the church a recep-
tion was held at the house of Mrs. George
Brooks to which about POO invitations
were issued, all of which, apparently, were
accepted Congratulations were plentiful
ly bestowed, the many beautiful wedding
presents were admired, and refreshments
were served by Caterer Carter of Brattle-
bOTo.
The bride was tastefully and very sim
/, sl,I
carried a bunch of white roses. Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard, accompanied by several
friends, took the afternoon train for
Orange, Mass, where they are to make
their home. They carry with them the
who will miss their kindly and helpful
presence in all good works here.
Mrs. DR.. Bruce of New York, with her
son, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Arthur
! Blood.
F. II. Ober and family have been visit
! ing friends and attending the New Eng
land fair at Worcester, Mass.
The subscriptions for the new fountain
are now due and should be paid as soon as
may be to E. II. Fessenden, treasurer of
the Park association.
tuesdays election passed off quietly.
Much interest was felt in the new system
of balloting, Geo. A. Brooks being the
first one to exercise his rights under it.
Nearly the full vote of the town was cast,
but a considerable number of votes had to
be thrown out on account of errors in
marking. There was something of a con-
test for town representative, John H..
Ware being elected on the second ballot.
While there is little need, perhaps, of the
secret ballot system in a country town like
this, the general impression is that on the
whole it is a good thing and will work
well in the long run.
The campaign is practically over for this
part of the country, but as a matter OF
history it must be recorded that on Friday
the Republicans flung to the breeze a fine
large flag, bearing the portraits of Harri-

The event of the season was the corn
roast Wednesday evening, on the null op-
posite Mr. Charles Stickney's. A huge
fire was built, seats were arranged, torches
distributed about the grounds, a short pro-
gram of recitations and music was enjoyed,
and then the fun of corn-roasting began:
Over so people were present, some OF
whom never enjoyed such scene before,
and they expressed their pleasure in very
warm terms. Lemonade was served to the
company.

son and Reid, and on Saturday evening
the Democrats had a rally, the orator being
S. T. Davenport of Brattleboro. The
Democrats of the town were out in full
force, but il none Others had been present
the town hall certainly would not have
been crowded. So many Republicans
came in that the hall was quite well filled
during the first part of the evening. The
audience listened carefully, but the vote of
Tuesday does not indicate that Brattle-
bOrO's new orator made MANY converts.

The COnntY Fair.

The feeling is abroad that we are to have
a good county fair on the DIST. Energetic
management is at the head of it. The To-
cation on the meadow of the president is
very picturesque and suitable in size and
surroundings. Formerly the place was
known as Gen. KimbalPs. 1t will be con-
nected with Union hall, which is to be
used for fancy and household articles,
roots, fruit etc. Public entrance to the
grounds will be by the lane just north of
Shubal Barrett's.
Let everybody come to their county fair,
and bring of their best to make it success
full as it deserves to be. Premiums are to
be given, but, regardless of that, let us
carry our curiosities. The posters for the
fair are out today from The Phoenix job
printing office They give the full list of
premiums and announce that there will be
a balloon ascension by lady aeronaut,
and that the Brattleboro Military band will
furnish music. The officers are evidently
bound to do their part toward furnishing
an attractive exhibition.

has been so thoroughly repaired at large
expense during the past summer by work
men from Marlboro, y. H., that it is just
as good as a new residence,-was open
that day for inspection by the visitors, and
many improved the opportunity of seeing
the well finished and nicely furnished
rooms. The cabinet of curiosities from
Texas, Mexico, and other parts of the
country was rare collection. Aunt
Fanny Knight, the mother of Mrs. Green

pleasure in showing some of the rare
things in the cabinet. Among them was
an eyeess fish from the Mammoth cave in
Kentucky, plant from Mexico, called the

FOR REDUCTION.
MANUFACTURERS ADDRESS AMALGAMATED
DELEGATES.
They Urge the Merits of Their Scals-lrOn
Workers Unwilling to Conceds Point
in Their Own 10 the Masters.

PITTSBURG, PA, June Twill the
Amalgamated Association agree TO
further concessions on the wage scale?
That will probably be settled this after
noon, and on the result of the deibera-
tions of the delegates in convention as
sembled depends the peace or struggle
in the future OF the iron industry.
For the first time since the Amalga-
mated Association was organized, manu-
facturers this morning addressed its
delegates in their convention, advising
them to accept a sweeping cut in wages
for every iron worker represented. The
manufacturers went to Turner
Hall at eleven o'clock and for
an hour and half talked to
the delegates son the necessity from
their point Of view for wage reduction.
Mr.. D. B. Oliver spoke first He was
followed by Messrs. B. Zug, Henry
Laughlin, A. E. Painter and an Akron,
Ohio, manufacturer. The gentlemen
were loaded with statistics showing
over-production, falling of in demand
and consequently in prices. They de-
plored that reduction was necessary
this year above all others, and stated
that it was chiefly their desire to keep
their mills in operation this year which
led them to ask the reduction in order
to do it. One manufacturer promised
that il the market rallied he would i'm
mediately place the present scale in OPP
Grafton again.
During the addresses of the manutac-
turers none of the Amalgamated AsSoci-
alton delegates spoke at all, and when
the manufacturers finished President
Weihe, on behalf of the delegates,
thanked the mill owners and the con-
vention adjourned.
This afternoon the delegates will
meet again and discuss the scale OF the
manufacturers, review the arguments in
its favor, and finally, definitely instruct
the Wage Conference Committee as to
its future course. A number of
delegates who were interviewed
at the noon recess were all dis
inclined to grant any further conees-
sions TO the manufacturers. A few are
willing to scale wages OF high-prlced
men on a s. basis, but leaving the
smaller paid workmen unchanged as
to their wages. 1t seems probable that
no change will be made.
An official of the Mahonng Iron and
Steel Manufacturers Association said
to-day that there will be no further
conference with the Amalgamated COM
mittee until after the convention. This
indicates a rather defiant attitude
on both sides, and does not augur
we'll for peace. The workers and
manufacturers in the valley have
been preparing for shutdown
since the manufacturers scale was is
sued. The American Manufacturer is
not nearly so confident Of an amica6le
solution on the wage tangle as it was
last week. Editorally it says that the
situation is bad and the outlook gloomy.
In discussing the Amalgamated scale it
states that it had hoped the workers
would have read the signs Of the times
better.
Twenty-Five Homestead steelworkers
marched mp the P, V. and c. track last
night and dared the Waterman to put
them off. There was no trouble.

SEATTLE, WAsHN., June IA special TO

A report of the brutal murder Of the fore

followed by the lyncbiug Of the murderers

statement as given to the mtelligenccr cor
respondent, was that Nelson was attacked
by the Italians, and during the fight an
IRON bar was driven through his head, kill

seized the Italians, and in the presence of
