A sad Affair.


Tuesday morning at South SALISBURY
Chas. Silver received injuries that re-
suited in his death Wednesday afternoon
at 2.30. The train on which he was
brakeman was setting off cars upon the
switch of the Eagle Square Manufacture
ing Company, and as these came nearly
to stop, Mr.. Silver climbed down to run
forward. He was on the rear car and
the engine was backing in upon the
switch. By some means he slipped
and fell. Whether the wheels passed
over his legs or not we cannot tell, but
one was horribly crushed and the other
badly cut and otherwise injured. He lay
outside the rails when picked up and the
cars moved slowly until they stopped.
The injured man was brought home
and medical aid summoned We are
told that he said he slipped and fell off
and that the wheels passed over one leg
at least. Drs. Rogers, Newton, CHS
holm and Bennett did all that could be
done to save his life, but in vain. One
leg was dressed Tuesday and the other
was amputated Wednesday morning.
The funeral will be. held Sunday after
noon at 3 o'clock, from the Baptist
church.
Mr.. Silver leaves wife and four chill
dren. He was man much respected
and had been for years employed on the
B. & G. railroad. When business gave
out on that short road he readily found
employment on the B. & R., where he
was regarded as very trustworthy. His
sad death is great affection to large
circle of friends and acquaintance.

YESTERDAY afternoon at $50 o'clock,
the venerable William Bates passed
peacefully to rest, after an illness of sew
eral weeks, duriRg which the powers of
life gradually failed. Mr.. Bates was
born in Cummington, Mass, Jan. 18th,
1923. He has lived to see all of the gen
Grafton in active life in Bennington when
he moved here, pass away, save Mrs. NJ.
@. Morgan. who survives. Had he lived
until next July Mr., and Mrs. Bates in
tended to celebrate their golden we'd
ding" We shall give a biographical
sketch of Mr.. Bates next week. The
funeral will be attended from the home
stead on Pleasant street tomorrow after
noon at o'clock.
Mr.. CHAs. NJ. FOSTER was in town to-
day with view to decide as to Benping-
toms being desirable site for branch
Kelley Institute. The item in last
weeks BANNER and letter from the
writer was the moving cause, After
consultation with Mr.. Foster we find that
our location appears to be more inviting
than any other he has yet visited. We
have three or four buildings suitable for
offices, and the scenery and drives in and
about this town are all that could be de-
sired. We suggest that our people take
an interest in this opportunity to foster
the location in our midst of another in
stitution. These Kelley Institutes bring
into the place large number yearly of
people able to pay good prices for board;
they ride around and leaYe considerable
money in the town, and it is estimated
that $4,000 to $4,000 annually is the
amount when the number of patients
average forty. By all means let us have
the Kelley cure here.

Through the efforts of Chief Tiffany.
we were in 1890 supplied with the Game
well Fire Alarm system, which gives per-.
feet satisfaction. The Stark Hose Com
pany l, was the first company organized
in the present department. and is located
at 1O4 Pleasant street, only one block
from Putnam SQUARE. Since the Com
pany was formed, they have built large
addition to their quarters, and at present
have very fine parlors and large meeting
rooms. They also possess fine billiard.
room, and are supplied with completes
line of tables and crockery, and very
often entertain their friends and COM
rades with first-class game suppers, and
clam stews and chowders. The Starks
are at present without uniform, but
have fund already raised to procure one.
The F. M. Tiffany Hose Company 2,
are located at 700 Main street. They
were organized soon after the Starks, and
were named in honor of our present
chief. They have nice set of rooms
and are uniformed with buff suits,
trimmed with gold. 1t is needless to say
that the Tiffany's are always on hand
when wanted.
Putnam Hose Company 8 is, later or
ganization, and are located on River
street. They were named in honor of
Henry W. Putnam, who built their pres
ent cOmmodious building, and presented
them with beautiful cart. Their par
lors are elegantly fitted up, and they last
summer purchased very fine uniform
of black frOck suits, trimmed with gold.
The puts" are large fine looking body
of men and the pride of the Second ward.
Every man is a fireman, and to 'get
there" is their motto.
The Bradford Hooks are located at 900
Main street, which is near the head of
the street, and at an alarm lis thrilling
sight to see the truck, drawn by its span
of white horses, come flying down town.
Everyone is proud of the "Hooks'' and
the promptness with which they reach
fire is really remarkable. They have
very fine rooms and give very enjoyable
entertainments to their numerous friends.
The Silsby Engine is located with the
Stark Hose Company, but lis seldom used,
except, when the fire is beyond the reach
of the hydrants. Engineer Geo. H. Har-
wood and Assistant W. R. Hyde, are
both veterans at the business, both hay
ing served upwards of fifteen years.
The Department recently held a fair,
the receipts of which were about 81, 800.
This sum was divided equally between
the four organizations mentioned above.
which added to the yearly appropriation
from the village, will enable the boys to,
pass the winter in good shape.

The Life of Mrs. Titus saved by Magnetism
BY DR. smith and Associate, No, o Union
Place, troy.
Mrs. Titus was stricken with paralysis
of the throat upwards of twelve years
ago. Since that time she has gradually
grown worse, until little if any solid
food could be swallowed. She has been
kept alive for two years by food taken by
the way of the rectum. Two months
ago her symptoms became alarming.
She was so much worse her friends as
well as her physician feared the end was
nigh. She could not swallow any food
and the rectrm or bowels would not re-
tain any amount of food, and starvation
stared her in the face. In this
hopeless condition she visited Dr.Smith's
office and consulted his associate. She
experienced great relief from the first
Magnetic Treatment. After the second
she was able to take soft boiled eggs, and
after six weeks treatment she could eat
a good square meal. She has taken on
fifteen pounds of flesh since she COM
menced treatment and considers herself
entirely well. Cures even more wonder
full than the above are constantly being
made by DIR. Smith and associate. No
institution in this country can boast of
such success as has attended DIR. Smith
and his associate in the treatment of all
forms of chronic disease. II you have

our citizens, put them to expense,
and in that way wear them out, even
though the treasury of Eaton had
to be luted to carry out the scheme.
The hall stealers should have
brought the case here at home and
saved expense to the city. All ac-
knowledge that we have very fair
and upright magistrate now to dis
pense justice, But then perhaps the
fellows were afraid to try the case
where they were SO well known.
That men of their stripe should
create all this trouble in a commun-
ity is u disgrace.

CITIZENS Of Bonner's Ferry should
stand by their hest citizens and up
hold them in the right in every
possible way. No nondescript,
clothed with a little brief authority,
should be permitted to use his
petty office to harass men Of stand
ing and usefulness in the commun-
ity. Tar and feathers and rotten
eggs have been suggested, but we
would counsel against any disor-
derby methods. Let us give our
deserving citizens the moral sup
port they are entitled to and mat
ters will soon right themselves.
Wrong can not long stand before a
well directed public sentiment. At
the very worst Eaton can not be
cursed with the present layout
more than three months. A new
election will take place then 1t
is safe to say that none of the pres
ent Objectionable officers will ever
get an office of profit or trust in
this locality again.

BILL CHAMBERS THE ii, Of Eaton,
has made his boasts about having
the city treasury at his command
in carrying on the city hall fight,
while the other people will have to
go down into their pockets. Il
will do thus and so and you the
taxpayersl will pay for it whether
you like it or not" is the edict.
We assert that not 10 per cent of
the taxpayers of Eaton endorse his
high handed course.

THE statutes provide that a va
cancy in the board Of trustees of a
town shall be filled by an election.
One Of the Eaton board, Ed. Doust,
has been acting as trustee through
appointment. All acts Of the
board are said to be illegal since
Doust commenced acting. If this
be true, it will upset the schemes Of
the gang considerably. The whole
outfit, except Mr.. Field, should be
impeached and fired out.

Attempt at Suicide.
1t Might Have Been Prevented.
From the Boston Post.


While the walks in the Public Garden
were crowded yesterday afternoon about
4.3O o'clock, people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were Mortified to see a man suddenly plunge
knife repeatedly into his throat and fall to
the ground
While waiting for conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about 80 years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor-
nation regarding himself. He was taken to
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About o'clock last night
hospital attendant got little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D, and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which way
to turn. What impelled him to commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
story of the results ofmental arrangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system.
People who have dizziness, headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or
respondent feelings, are already well on the
road which leads to insanity and suicide.

The Eaton trustees claim that
they are acting on the advice Of

jay this man Keat must be to advise
them to get in and steal a public

are necessary evils but the petit

A Close Call.

Last Thursday Alex Miller started on
horseback from where he had been work.
ing, about four miles above the Forks, for
the logging camp, but the horse came into
camp riderless. He had ridden to within
about hall mile Of the camp, when he
got off the horse to open a gate, and in
attempting to remount, the horse became
frightened, throwing Mr.. Miller to the
ground, kicking and bruising him about
the breast and head in a serious manner,
Soon after the horse arrived in camp,
search was made for Mr.. Miller, who was
found near the scene Of the accident in an
unconscious condition. He was taken to
camp and proper restoratives applied, but
remained unconscious about six hours.
Mr.. Miller was in town Yesterday, and
says that aside from being bruised and
a little lame, he has fully recovered from
the effects of the accident, but doesn't
care to have another as close call to an
unnatural death.

The Autumn Social.

Owing to the weather there was but a

given last evening by the ladies of the
Methodist church, but those who were
there endeavored to make up for those
who were not by having a thoroughly
good time. The church was tastefully
decorated with autumn leaves and ever
green, and the ladies themselves were
charming in reaf-be-trimmed dresses,
while every one present was gaily deco
rated with boutinere of the same bright
hued material.
a program had been prepared. Mrs.
Elton sang One Day very sweetly and
with expression. The duet, The City
Bells, by Mrs. McKinnon and Miss Lou
Joslyn was also we'll rendered. The
Rainbow, a recitation by Miss Renshaw,
was given with a very pleasing effect, and
showed decided talent. After the pro.
gram all enjoyed the excellent repast the
ladies had prepared.

Dress Skirts.

The fuss about the crinoline may flzzle
out at the end Of the season. Most Of the
best dressed women Of the day arc dead
against it. Indeed many have fatty re-
fused to wear the full skirts that are be-
coming fashionable. It seems safe to say
that the crinoline scare at least Is over.
Worth, Doucet and other magnates of
fashion are against 1t. Worth is reported
as saying that he will not make gown to
be worn with hoops unless especially or
dered. and Doucet that he will not make
one on any terms Skirts may be made in
half a dozen different ways and yet be
fashionable. The most graceful ones, how
ever, are those which have the bulk Of the
fullness at the back.
