The Bennington banner. [volume] (Bennington, Vt.) 1858-1894, 1893-05-05

UNDER one of the large trees blown
over by the Shirksbire of April 20 and 81
on the DR.. Clark farm, was found a
brandy bottle and milestone. From the
appearance of these and the tree it is
conjectured that it was forty or fifty
years since they were placed under the
tree.
JUDGE MUNsoN has decided the habeas
corpus case of Thos. Enwright in favor
of the Municipal court. The text of the
decision we have not seen, but from
what we hear, it shows that Judge Oar
ling's rulings in this case have stood the
examination of the higher authority. En-
wright and other offenders will be
obliged to tell the truth when they dis
close or take the consequences. BY the
way, Judge Darling's decisions have al
ways been sustained by the higher courts,
so far as we recall.
In another column we print the call
for the official village meeting to see,
among other things, if the voters will
purchase the water system. We had ex-
pected to print several communications
upon this subject but only one has been
handed in, that of Mr.. Sheldon, which
will be found elsewhere. The questions
that form the basis of the several warn
ings for special village meetings, are of
serious Importance to our village and
should receive the candid and impartial
consideration of our citizens. At the
meeting held last Tuesday, after the
eight articles in the warning had been
read, the first was taken up: ''1st, To
see what action, if any, said village will
take with reference to any contract or
contracts which may have been made by
said village or its Trustees acting there
for with reference to the construction
of public sewer in said village, or to
the furnishing of materials and labor in
and about the construction of said pub
lie sewer" A resolution was introduced
that the voters AID the trustees in carry
ing out any contracts for sewers that
had been entered into, etc. A ballot was
had and stood as fellows: 70 noes to 70
ayes. The meeting then adjourned.
In our Springfield, Pittsfold, and
North Adams, Mass, exchanges of last
Sunday, similar items appeared, all an
nouncing that it was believed the es-
capped mu ;derers, Frank M. Rohle and
Thos. Pallister were at or near these
places, or, at the very least, they were
hiding in the Berkshire Hills. Some en-
N. Y. Sun quite a sensational story. Ben
nington's tHrn occurred yesterday as far
as the public generally, was concerned,
although Officer Nash and others heard
of it Sunday, just too late. Itseems that
about o'clock Sunday afternoon a man
called for and obtained permission to lie
down and rest at Mrs. Genoirs, mother
in-law of Frank Pellerin. The man left
the door open. Mrs, Genoir closed
the door but the fellow opened it. He
slept or rested until o'clock and then
went away. paying, it is stated, 50 for
his entertainment. Up street he met an
other and the two went away together.
Mr.. Pellerin, by the photographs, identi-
fed these two men as the escaped MUIR
derers, and his description answers well
to that sent out from Sing Sing. Rohle
is the man who rested at Mrs. Genoir's
on "The Avenue" and the one who met
him up street tallys with Palliste1's de-
scription. When Rohle went into the
house he enquired for Bennington pa
per, said he wanted to find out about the
trains for Canada. He was told the
family did not take the local papers, but
the time Of the trains north was told
him. Neither boarded the sleeper out
Sunday night. This is the story told us
by the officers.
A FEW weeks since, relatives and
friends here received wedding invita-
tions which read as follows miss
Daisy Tallman to DR.. Walter A. Scott,
Wednesday afternoon, April 20, at 5
o'clock. First Methodist church, SYRIA
cuse. N. Y" We noted last week that
an aunt of the groom, Mrs. Moses Will
son, attended these nuptials, DR.. ScOtt's
mother being detained here by illness.
Further particulars have been received,
which will interest many Of our readers,
as DR.. Scott was formerly pupil in our
graded schools. The ushers were DR..
Johnson, DR.. Crane, DR.. [nglehort and
DR.. Peck. The best man was Master
Horace Bull and the maid of honor,
Miss Clara Howes, cousins of the bride.
The bride wore an elegant gown of gray
silk trimmed with lace and carried white
roses. The maid of honor was attired
in white silk. The bridal party entered
the church under a canopy extending
from the street to the porch, treading
carpeted path, and proceeded to the al
tar stepping to the Inspiring strains OF
the wedding march: The bride entered
with her mother, Mrs. Tailman, and the
bridegroom with his father, DR.. S. Wal
ter Scott and the two met at the altar.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. DR.. Vernon. The church was elab-
orately trimmed with flowers by the
Young Peoples Society of Christian En-
deavor of which the happy couple are
members. The church was filled with
invited guests and relatives. After the
reception, Dr. and Mrs scot left, amid
showers of rice, for their new home at
Niagara Falls. The wedding presents
were of unusual elegance of solid silver,
