A HARTFORD KLOPEMENT.

A Nineteen-Year-Old Young Man
RIopes with the Daughter of a
Prominent Citizen.
HARTFORD, Aug. 6.-Quite a little excite
ment has been caused in social circles by
the announcement that Miss Mabel Poms-
roy, the seventeen yesr-old daughter of
George ". Pomeroy, prominent citizen,
has eloped with John Smith, a well known
young man, who looks after his mothers
interests in the firm of Scott & Smith.
Smith is but nineteen and for some time
has been quite intimate with the young
lady, who is one of the bsllss among the
younger girls of the city. The Pomeroys
are Professionals, while the Smiths are
Catholics, and for this reason both families
objected to the match and could not think
of an alliance, and tried to part the young
people by the excuse that they were too
young to think of marriage. But the objec-
tions of parents had no effect on the lovers
and last week they Disappeared. 1t has since
been learned that they were married by a
justice in this city and Immediately left for
New York city. The parents of the young
people did not learn of the affair in time to
stop them, and it is understood that they
are now in the metropolis esjoying their
honeymoon. They have notified their
relatives that they will return to this city
in q few days, and Mr.. Pomeroy has not
therefore made any effort to go after his
daughter. Mrs. Smith is greatly excited
over the marriage and Is almost insane al
times, notwithstanding the fact that she
was married under very similar circum-
stances. The psrente of both will proba.
bly become reconeiled

To ORGANIZE THIS WEEK.

The West shore Hallway Company to |
Commence, Active Operations at |
Once-The Road to Run between
This City and Merwfn's Point.
A new railway company to be known as
the West Shore Railway company will be
organized sometime this week. The capt.
tai stock will be fixed at 100000. The
promoters of the enterprise, among whom
are Henry Sutton, W. Wallace Ward James
D. Dewell, Charles K. Bush, Israel A. Ksl
sey and 8. Harrison Wagner, have already
secured q charter from the general assem-
bly, and will commence operations at once.
By the charter the company is vested with
power to construct and operate a railroad
through the following streets and high
| ways in New Haven, Orange and Milford:
From the corner of Oak and Temple
streets, through Oak street to Davenport
avenue to West street, to Wash
ington, to the boundary line of the towns
of New Haven and Orange; through Spring
street to First avenue, West Haven, to
Wood street, to Washington avenue, to
George street, to Campbell avenue to
Elm street, to Ssvin avenue, to point
near the salt meadow lying between Ssvin
Rock and Waverly grove.
Here the road will go across the meadow
over Cove river to Waverly grove. From
the grove the road will run in a south
westerly direction by the most convenient
route to the salt meadow near the mouth
of Oyster river, thence across the river
| over the upland on the Milford side to the
Merwin's Point House. This will be the
terminus of the road.
The company are given power to cross
any road along the line of the route men
toned, but are not allowed to run on any
highway after the line leaves Ssyin ave-
nue. except on the old Milford or Jones
Hill road. The company are given the
| right to connect their tracks with those OF
| the Winchester Avenue road at Savin
Rock, and are empowered to run their
cars over the tracks of any other road on
Temple street between Oak and Chapel
| streets.
The idea of the projectors is to have the
West Shore cars leave from the corner Of
} Chapel and Temple streets and make 6
continuous run to Merwin's Point.
} The charter states that the capital STOCK
of the company shall be $50 900, with the
| privilege to increase 1t to 5000. 900, snt
that the stock shall be divided into shares
! of $25 each, but rs was stated above tht
company will start with capital stock o.
500, 900. 1t is expected that the road viii
be in operation by July next.

VILLAGE MEETING.

The annual meeting was held Tuesday,
the balloting beginning at 8 a. m. and
closing in the afternoon at o'clock.
The parliamentary part of the warning
was taken up and disposed of while the
officers were counting the votes.
The meeting voted a tax of 45 cents on
the dollar as recommended by the audi
tors report in another column. The
sum of $500 was voted to the fire depart
ment, and S2j was appropriated to pay
for the winding and regulation of the
town clock in the court house tower.
The result of the voting for village Off
GERS is given below. In the first ward
there was lively contest and nearly
every vote in the ward was pOlled. We
were correct, and our contemporaries
were wrong in saying that Mr.. Harris
was candidate for trustee in the third
ward He was not candidate but the
result showed that he was the choice of
quite number there in spite of his pos
tive refusal to allow his name to be
used. The general ticket was elected by
a uniform vote of 297 ballots as follows
President, II. r. Cushman, End; clerk,
J. II. KelsJ; treasurer, George +. Graves:
collector, Frederick Godfrey; auditors,
John p. Guiltinan, Henry D. Fillmore
Charles n. Mason. The ballot for trus-
tees was declared as follows: Ward /,
John S. Holden, A votes, Geo. McMas-
ter 81; ward 2, Frank Sullivan, Al; ward
3, Joseph Watson, 81, Emory S. Harris
%; ward 4, Col DIN Scott, IS; ward J.
Chas. b. Wall, Is; ward 6, Chas. c. Kim
ball, 2S; ward 7, Edward w. Bradford,
%. The meeting voted not to pay for
water to sprinkle the streets. Last year
800 was appropriated for this purpose.
and some reasonable amount should
have been appropriated this year. Quite
a ripple of excitement was caused by the
unexpected refusal of the meeting to
vote that the trustees borrow money to
run the corporation and work the streets
before the tax is collected. When it was
found the charter gave this power to the
amount of one-half of said tax, the ar
ticle was dismissed.

STRANGE BUT TRUE.

READ WHAT WAS DONE FOR MRS. ANNA
PATRICK AT TROY MAGNETIC INSTITUTE.
Things which few months ago seemed
strange and almost miraculous have be-
come familiar to residents of Troy and
are now looked upon as facts and almost
every day occurrences. We refer to some
of the cures made by Drs. Scott and
Smith magnetic physicians, at No. 6
Union Place.
Such cases as Mrs. Anna Patrick, who
resides at the corner of Ninth and Hut
ton streets, have always been looked up
on as incurable by medicine. Doctors
have been in the habit of looking at
such cases and shaking their heads and
exclaiming: TOO bad, too bad" About
year ago she lost an only child by
drowning, and the body was not recov-
cred until nine days. The strain upon
her mental faculties was something fear
fillmore than she was able to bear Her
mental faculties began to fail her. She
could not bear up under the strain, and
her trouble aided by female weakness,
began to tell on her until her friends
to fear that her reason would give way.
When she put herself under magnetic
treatment her memory was entirely gone
she did not dare trust it a minute for
anything She said: Doctor, you must
write out in full all directions. | can't
remember until got home" Her ner-
vous system was in terribly weakened
condition. She would cry for hours to-
gether, and could not stop and no one
could seem to help her. She had become
unfit for even her household duties. Six
weeks after commencing treatment she
accepted position in George p. Idle's
shirt and collar mandatory as forelady
which she is now filling accePtably. She
has large number of ladies under her
and is obliged to not only look after them
to see that their work is properly done,
but keeps the account OF the work each
one does. In six weeks her mind rose
from nothing as it were to a condition
capable of filling an exalted position.
Such cures never we're made and never
will be made by medicine alone. Drs.
Scott and Smith treat all forms of ner-
vous and chronic disease and can be
consulted free at No. Union Place (near
Union depot, Troy, MY.

THE VILLAGE SEWERS.

The call for the special village meeting
to rescind the authority given the trus-
tees to make contract for the establish
ment of a sewer system, demands more
than passing consideration on the part
of the voters.
That a gOodly number of reputable
| citizens, advocates and believers in sew
er system, have grave fOrbodings as to
the sutficiency of the plans submitted,
there can be no doubt. These citizens
demand sewer and demand that it be
put in right; and simply ask for further
light upon the subject. This request is
reasonable, and it is understood that the
sewer committee are ready and willing
to bring the engineer here and furnish
any information that can be had upon
the subject, when the citizens are ready
to hear. But the warning for the spe-
clal meeting makes no prOvisiOn.for this
class OF our people. Its purpose is not to
modify the authority of the trustees, to
correct the plans, to perfect a sewer
system. The object of that call is to
wipe out, to strike death blow at any
sewer system now and forever
The cost of the sewer is reasonable,
the time of payment can be so fixed as
not to embarrass any taxpayer, the en-
tire assessment upon property holder
having only fifty feet frontage will be less
than sixteen dollars. No citizen, having
the interest of the village at heart, will
vote to reScind the authority given the
trustees; nor, indeed will it be of any
avail to SO vote The trustees have al
ready acted under the authority given
them, as they lawfully might do-the
contract for the construction of the sew
er has been made-the pipe has been
purchased-the village is already bound
by its contract lawfully made, and to
vote to rescind the authority given the
trustees at the meeting of March 9th,
would only have the effect to plunge the
village in litigation and perhaps double
its Indebtedness.
The element who are trying to rescind
that vote is the same old element that
has been stumbling block to progress
for quarter of century-the same ele-
nent that opposed the gradeing of the
streets, the building of the sidewalks.
The same element that fought the
establishment of the graded school-the
same that fought the town bonds, in the
face of all hope and reason and almost
doubled the public debt; and it is this
same element that now calls this special
meeting not to correct or modify, not to
support or improve the plans, but
rather, to bury the very hope of sewers
so deep that it cannot be resurrected.
But let no fair minded citizen faIter;
greater results have been won under
greater difficulties. In spite of this
element the village docs move, though
and we must move, having for our
motto: Thrice armed is he who hath
his quarrel just"

THE BENNINGTON BANNER FRIDAY, MARCH "a 1888

are military-the bivouac of British
troops in Africa, the capture of a town
from the Arabs, the meeting of the hero
and the william on the desert and the re-
turn of the regiment to London. All of
these scenes are highly picturesque and
handled with uncommon skill The cap
ture OF the town is one of the few really
successful battle scenes that have been
put on the state, and the Homecoming in
Trafalgar Square is a wonderful picture
of London life and as stirring as any,
thing of the kind we have had. But all
of the scenic effects are thoroughly good,
the many quick changes being made with
excellent effect, and the whole presenta-
ton OF the play is most careful and ar

April LIST. Frank Mayo's Davy Crockett.
The Boston Advertiser says: The names
of Frank Mayo and Davy Crockett are
synonymous. Natural adaptation to the
character, coupled with years of expert
ence and careful study have given Mr..
Mayo complete mastery of it. 1t is as
.distinctively conception of his own as
is the character of Rip Van Wrinkle the
creation of Joseph Jefferson. Mr.
Mayo's success in his role is undoubted-
ly due to his naturalness. The details
are worked out to nicely, and yet in so
natural manner that there is no oppor-
tunity for the audience to feel that they
are forced. In word, Mr.. Mayo's
"Davy Crockett" is finished character
sketch. Mr.. Mayo labored nnder so
severe cold last evening at the Harris
theater that it was a little painful to
listen to him. But after he had been
speaking a few minutes this impede
ment partially disappeared and the large
audience was oblivious to all but the SUI
perb acting.
