A Wilmington correspondent makes a
pretty sweeping indictment of the road
from the Marlboro line down, saying that
the cobbles ought at least TO be picked out
or rolled in and the water kept from run
ming in the middle of the road. As the
Phoenix belongs TO that unfortunate class
who must either walk or stay at home, we
can't say from personal knowledge whether
this is a true bill, but are willing to ''leave
it OUT to The Rambler The Loafer, and
the Road Commissioners.
f. l.. Holton's horse, while left unhltch-
ed in front of the Vermont savings bank
this morning, started slowly, with the job
wagon, but the wheels locked with those
of Mrs. S. S. Hunts carriage and over
turned IL in front of the Y NJ. G. A.
Then the horse increased its speed and
another collision took place, with the re-
suit that one wheel of Mr.. Stafford's buggy
was knocked down. Alfred Holden, the
coupe driver. ran down the street and
catching the reins brought Mr.. Holton's
horse to a stop on Elliot street.
II. l.. Hayden, who keeps a hotel and
boarding house at Mt. Hermon Mass, re-
ports that last week a large, powerful man,
calling himself Fred L. Cummings, came
to his place and stayed three days, claim
ing to be an agent of the Western Union
Telegraph company to buy telegraph poles.
Hayden became suspicious OF him and
, asked him for payment on his board bill,
when Cummings said he hadn't dollar
with him just then and left without return
ing. He came north and is doubtless
beating" his way, two or three days in a
place. The local Office has had presented
to it a board bill, doubtless contracted by
Cunningham, and has been notified of sim
liar work by this or another beat in the
north part of the state.
