AFTER THE FLOOD.

The work of repairing the damage done
by the flood has been pushed rapidly. The
losses by the various concerns on Frost
street are found to be substantially as
stated by The Phoenix last week, and the
work there has consisted principally in
sorting over and cleaning damaged lumber,
and getting cellars back into shape. All
the available help that could be got togeth-
er has been repairing the roads in the vari-
GUS parts of the town, and Col. Hooker
states that all the highways, except the
Brook road, will be in passable shape by
tomorrow night. The final work of plac-
ing the roads in good condition will be
done in connection with the regular spring
highway repairing.
1t will take considerably longer to get
the bridges into shape again. A temper
ary structure has been placed by the Cur
tbs mill above West Brattleboro. The bed
of the stream has been changed here and
it is not certain just what arrangement will
be decided upon. The Pike bridge on the
Marlboro road was carried out entire, ex-
cept the abutments, and the new bridge is
not completed. The Thurber bridge,
which was carried away, abutments and
all, is finished. Protecting walls will have
to be put in near the abutments OF the iron
bridge by the Estey saw mill, and wings
are to be built out to protect the bridge
near David Perry's on the Marlboro road
The foot bridge in front of Estey's shops
has not yet been replaced.

If half the gossip which is floating
around in railroad circles should materialize,
BrattlebOrO would secure bettertrain service
through the Boston & Maine getting hold
here than it has ever enjoyed before. One
plan is to run two fast trains each way be-
tween Boston and Northampton, and
thence over the River road to Springfield,
thus competing with the Boston n Albany
for the Boston travel. Given convenient
connections with Brattleboro, and the trip to
Boston might once more be pleasure. An
other rumor sin the air" is that the Boston
d Maine means to put on Montreal and
New Y Ork day express, running through par
lor cars between the two cities, and reaching
Montreal via the Passumpsic, Southeastern
Counties and Canadian Pacific roads. The
idea of this train would be to compete
with the New York Central for the Mon.
treal traffic which now goes up the Hud-
son, and thence by way of Burlington, oil
up the other side of Lake Champlain
The fact probably is that the new manage
ment doesn't know yet what it will attempt
but is simply looking the ground over

The shooting of bullet holes through the

a generous call at the brewery on their

With companion or two she went over to

that he should "climb tree" if the snake

For some time past several gambling
places have been in full blast about
town, and games have been run pretty
constantly in most OF them, Business
is said, however, to have been pretty
dull, and one or two places are reported
to have shut up voluntarily, explaining
that they didn't make a cent" Az
any rate, the places have been very
quiet, although one OF thelnis credited
with having pretty stitfplaylnE attimes'
OF policy shops and places where policy
was written there were an indefinite
number, more or less openly run in
back rooms Of saloons, while inside Of
a few months crap shooting has found
several resorts always open for exercise
with "the bones."
Recently there has been complaint
that several OF the games were not ION
the square," II has been said that q
Countryman, or other amatuer, who sat
down in game was pretty sure TO lose,
and this was ascribed by the victims to
conspiracy on the part OF local profess
SIGNALS, in some cases the charge being
also made that the propFietars connived
at this form Of robbery, Whether this
Ia generally true or not there has been
q great deal OF talk IN sporting circles to
that effect.
Chief OF Police McNichol has led
several crusades against policy shops,
Pretty soon after each, however, the
playing was quietly revived. Policy ia
one OF the worst OF gambling devices,
for it draws in anybody, black or white,
old or young, who can raise five cents.
Children have even been known to play
1t by throwing in" cent or two each,
thus raising the necessary nickle. Even
when run on the most honest plan, the
percentage is enormous against the
player, and there is absolutely no guar
antee that the game Is not crooked, In
regard to scraps" 1t is said that there
Is scarcely devotee Of the game who
las not q set OF CROOKED" dice, by the
use OF which It is impossible not to win.
This week Chief MoNichol decided
that it was time to put stop to gamb'
ing IN AL loTme, 30 luT w ~ Gull w
done. He therefore issued an order
that all persons interested in gaming
places OF every kind be warned to stop
the business Immediately.
Yesterday Lieutenant Lukins served
this notice on one faro bank, three or
four poker rooms, two crap dens aud
four or five policy shops. These were
oil in operation between Eleventh and
Sixteenth streets. Whether there are
resorts OF the Same kind in other parts
Of town is not known, but there are
suspected to DO several. The chief Of
police says they will all be warned as
soon as located, and any one that con-
tinues to run after the warning will be
pulled every day till 1t is closed.
The first question the keepers OF
these places ask when served with the
notice, Is, "What does this mean?" To
this Capt. McNichols prompt answer
is, at means business"
So far the notice aeems 10 have had
the desired effect, but the question,
How long will it lnst2ia being discussed
with interest in sporting circles. Tho
order, it is stated, is intended to DO per-
manent,
