The Question
Decided!

If there ever was a question
in anyone's mind as to the best
place to buy gifts for Christina,
or useful articles for the house
and farm, if anyone ever had
doubt as to the place where
they could find the largest vari.
ETY. and the lowest prices, if
anyone was undecided as to
THE PLACE TO GO. We
think that we have taken the
right method to settle the mat.
ter for them.
We have bought out the goods
Of Little 50" of H. T. Willard
* Co.. at what the city papers
would call RUINOUS PRICES
and now with a double stock
and two such stores in this
town we can offer to YOU prices
that will surprise the most shep.
teal. We bought the goods a;
less than half their inyentoriei
value, and find among them ru,
very few shopw orn or "oat,ot.
date goods but all will be Of
ferred you at bottom prices.
We did not buy these goods to
KEEP, but to sell.
After the holidays are over
we are to move to the store now
occupied by Scott & Jones, ba,
until then we shall run the TWO
stores that we now have,
THE NEW YORK BAR.
GAIN STORE beside the Main
street bridge will be kept Just
alive and sparkling with new
goods, and we shall run Lit.

see how many of these goods
we can sell before we move.
We shall also add daily to the
stock OF each of these stores till
the New Year comes, so that
you can make no mistake in
coming to us.
wise buyers are each wear do
ing more and more of their buy
ing. before the rush and fancy
prices of Christmas get here,
There are some who put a fancy
price on all fancy goods during
the holidays, but we stick tight
to our first principles and sell
Just as near cost as we can.
Genial and efficient clerks will
be ready to serve you, and just

of advice-before you 90 and
spend your money for some
silly "knick-knack" that costs
double what it is worth, call
and see that we have the great
est display of goods suitable for
gifts that Brattleboro ha, ever

Don't wait till others have Sc

A LittIe chnd FntnlIr nnrned.

A terrible accident occurred at the resi-
dence of John Robertson about noon
Thanksgiving day. Mr.. Robertson was
away for the day and his young child was
in charge of Its aunt, Miss Dana. In a
room by herself and playing with matches,
she set her clothing on fire, burning her
terribly from head to foot before she was
discovered. Her injuries were so serious
that she lived only short time. She was
an unusually bright aud lovely child of
about two years old. and much sympathy
is felt for the terribly bereaved family.

College boys from both Dartmouth and
Amherst have seemed to make Bellows
Falls the scene of depredations recently.
In returning from the foot ball contest at
Hanover three weeks ago, the Amhersts
very effectually cleaned out the depot res
taurant here, stealing the food and dishes,
for which they have had to pay roundly,
and this week eight of those connected
with the scrape were disciplined by the
college for it. Last week Wednesday even
ing three or four Dartmouth students were
interviewed by our chief of police, as they
were taking a train here, the officers fore
ing upon them the alternative of paying
for several games of billiards, as well as re-
turning stolen billiard balls, or passing the
night in our lookup. They "came down"
very handsomely.

Important Questions Raised in tn
Matthew Damage Case.


Helena NJ. Matthew's suit for $4,000 dam.
ages against the Seattle National Bank Building
Company was given to the jury by Judge Osborn
at 10 O'Clock yesterday morning. He explained
to the jury the doctrine of con tri butory negli-
geuce, and left to Its decision the question of
whether upon the whole circumstances of the
case the defendant was guilty of such negli-
genee as would entitle che plaintiff to recover:
also, whether or not the plaintiffs own negii-
gence had directly contributed to the accident.
Judge Osborn then proceeded to instruct the
jury that the owner OF a building in which
there was an elevator was obliged to exercise
the same care In regard to persons conveyed in
the elevator, and was under the same liability
to them in case of accident that railway or
any other common carrier would be 10 its pas
sengers-that is to sag, that the owner was
bound TO exercise the greatest possible care to
sec that the elevator WAS suitably constructed
and fitted with proper appliances, and also to
employ careful and competent employees to con-
troll and manage it. and in general were liable
for the carelessless OF their employees.
The Jury then left the room aud did not ap-
pear again until 4:45 Ia the afternoon, when ii
sent in to request further instruction in regard
to the difference between concurrent and con-
tributory negligence. Judge Osborn told the
iurymen that the difference was one of time;
that in concurrent negligence the two acts must
have happened at substantially the same mo-
meut OF time, whereas swo negligent acts, COM
mitted with an intervs! between, might con-
tribute equally to the happening of al occur.
renee. He gave a number of illustrations. and
said that generally speaking. and in many cases,
contributory negligence is considered as prac-
ticaliy the same as concurrent negligence, and
the terms are often nsed INTERCHANGEABLE
At6:l5 the jury were taken to dinner b. Baiif
Smith, and 1t Is not probable that decision will
be reached by them until today.
