PASSED WORTHLESS CHECKS.

A Young Doctor, who Came 60 Towns
bend Recently, Arrested for Drawing
Checks on the Peoples BRnk---sIOOO
Involved.
DR.. George L. Tiffany, student in the
Polytechnic hospital at Philadelphia, was ar
rested Tuesday night on charges of forgery
and passing worthless checks. Tiffany has
several aliases, claims TO be a graduate of
Missouri medical school in Atlanta, Ca,
and went to Philadelphia ostensibly to take
a postgraduate course. He has practced
medicine in Manchester, Ct, and states
that his wife's cruelty and desertion were
the causes of his downfall December 8
he presented to DR.. j. T. Kent, treasurer
of the Philadelphia postgraduate college
Of municipalities, a check for $115, drawn
on the Peoples national bank of Brattle-
boro, in the name of c. /. Spencer, and
signed "H. 4. Barber" DIR. Kent for
warded the check TO the bank, and Tues
day received it back protested and marked
Forgery" DR.. Kent at once placed the
case in the hands of the police and Tiffany
was arrested. He admitted his guilt and
said he had passed two other bogus checks
in Philadelphia.
About his person and in his room were
found $50 in money and a number of
checks, presumably spurious. OF the
checks three were on the Vermont nation
al bank of Brattleboro, one on the Peoples
bank of BrattebOrO, and three on the First
national bank of Geneva, n. Y. Tiffany
confessed that he was the man who was
wanted for passing bogus checks on medi-
cal institutions in various other cities.
Tiffany came to Townshend few weeks
ago, under the name of Spencer, and ar
ranged to take the place of the late Dr. Por-
ter as physician at that place. He secured
an Office at Mrs. Simpsons, but remained
there only a day or two at the time, al
though coming back there two or three
times. While there he induced Mrs. Will
liams, wife of the West Townshend mer-
chant, to cash a check for S35, which
proved to be bogus.
During his visits to BrattlebOrO he made
the acquaintance of Druggist L. d. Greene,
and MIR. Greene endorsed a S45 check for
him. Mr.. Greene however, lost nothing,
as Tiffany left medicine case and other
goods at Townshend, which were attached,
and sold last Saturday.
Almost Immediately after Tiffany's last
appearance here fraudulent checks were
received at the Peoples National bank,
Tiffnny having got possession of blank
checks. The first Of these was from Bal
tmore, and others came later from Phila-
delphia. Their total amount was about
$1,000, and of course those who cashed the
checks lost that amount, no loss falling on
the Peoples bank.
Tiffany is described by those who saw
him here as an attractive appearing man
about 35 wears old

A BAD WEDNESDAY.
a Black Eye for the Law and order
Record.


Record.
Brattleboro's law and order record got a
black eye Wednesday.
Thomas Sweeney was the first offender
to be brought before Justice Newton. He
pleaded guilty to cruelty to horse and was
fined s. and costs, amounting to S17.67.
Sweeney left his horse without water from
Sunday night until Tuesday night Sew
eral of his Washington street neighbors
were called as witnesses.
j. J. Losee, the Elliot street cigar maker,
was prosecuted for selling fermented cider.
He offered to plead guilty to one offence,
but Lawyer Hit, who was the counsel for
the state would not agree to this. The
testimony was taken and Mr.. Losee was
found guilty of six offences. He paid a fine
of $50 and costs. amounting to $3.50.
John 7. Joyce, who has billiard rooms
in the Judge building, was prosecuted on a
charge similar to that of Mr. Losee's. Mr..
Joyce claimed that the cider was not fer
mented, but chemical analysis condemned
ii under the provisions of the law. A fine
OF s25 and costs, amounting to S33. 63, was
imposed. Mr.. Joyce declares that he had
no intention of violating the prohibitory
law, that the cider was l. days old, that
he supposed it could be sold until 80 DAYS
old, and that he threw away his supply
when he found that it was not lawful to
sell it.
The case of John Dunlevy, arrested for
intoXication, was continued for 30 days.
Mr.. Dunlevy was summoned as witness TO
appear against Mr.. Losee and Mr.. Joyce.
G. b. kirwan was complained of for in
toXication Wednesday, but was not able to
be brought into court at that time.

ROWLING ALLEY. >"

Such is the legend on the side of a three
seated conveyance which has been running
on the streets of Braltleboro for the past
few days to catch the patronage of those
who wish To make pilgrimage cover the
river" People have gazed on ii and some
have smiled gleefully. Others have been
filled with righteous Indignation and have
asked "What are we coming top
1t is doubtful ii there is a resident of
Brattleboro, who is not aware that beer
drinking establishment has been running
IN t"l blast the past season on the New
Hampshire side of the river, directly oppo-
site the village. "'fhe brewery has been
the subject of many iOcOSe remark. Its
patronage has been enormous. At almost
any time during the day men have been
seen going there to get their beer. The
cOupes have been called into service al
most constantly to convey the thirsty beer
lovers there. The visitors to the place in
clnde many men who would not like to see
their names in print.
A short time ago bowling alley was
added to the saloon Why this was need
ed to draw custom is not obvious.
1t is supposed that the Brattlehoro Liv-
cry company put on this team with the ex-
pectation of supplying long-felt want in
the way of cheap transportation. Wheth-
er it is a subsidized conveyance is not
stated.
In any case it is not an edifying or in
spring sight in what it means for the
present or porlends for the future, in viii
lage of BratllebOrO's well-advertised repu-
tation for moral tone and general culture.
1t is time for the genuine public senti-
ment of Brattleboro TO be heard from in
sober earnest.

The Local Eject.
woLCoTT BALEsTIER's COLORADO
NOVEL,

In the December number of the Centu-
ry is printed the first instalment of "Bene-
fits Forgot" novel by Wolcott Balestier.
whose sudden and unexpected death in
Dresden year ago so saddened his Brat
teboro friends and caused a deep sense of
lost in the literary circles of both England
and America. The Century company evil
IDENTIFY regard this novel as one of the
leading attractions of their magazine. In
bulletin from their Office they state that
the scene of Benefits Forgot" is laid in
Colorado. Balestier twice visited that
state, and to the end of his brief career his
last sojourn in the West remained his
most vivid and fascinating experience.
At Leadville, in 1884, he made the first
rude sketch of the novel, The characters
are of much higher type than he has de-
picted in his short stories, "Reffey." etc:
and the towns of Maverick" and "To.
paz' are as real as Denver and Leadville,
although it is the Colorado of 10 wears
ago that Balester describes.
The manuscript of benefits Forgot"
was sent to the editor of the Century by a
common friend in England. The name of
the author was withheld, and the story
was virtually accepted for serial publca-
ton with no knowledge of the author. A
short time after Mr., Balestier was in New
York, and while he was in the Century Of
nee arranging for the publication of 1.-THE
Naulahka,' which he and Rudyard Kip
ling had written together, the editor hap
pened to mention, with praise, Benefits
Forgot and in his half-concealed pleasure
the "secret" of its authorship was forth
with revealed. Balester's death from ty-
phoid fever came a few months later, and
so it is that benefits Forgot" is a postum
nous novel, and the last piece of writing
from the pen of its talented young author.
