MILLER FAMILY REUNION
n Fourth-Of-July Picnic at David T.
Perry's--with Some Genealogical Facts
Thrown in.


The family of Millers met July 4 al
David 7. Perrys in West Brattleboro, by
invitation. The cOrdialty of mine hosts
with open doors, and the festive look
about the grounds, with the snap-crack OF
torpedo and cracker, tents pitched, the
sound of fife and drum, and the waving of
the flags, all reminded us of our national
celebration day and grand picnic occasion
with real family reunion. Exchange OF
! greetings occupied the first part of the day.
| Then began preparations for dinner under
the tents. just then appeared the inevi-
table Fourth-of-July picnic shower of rain.
which was soon over not to return.
After dinner all repaired to the hall to
listen to the speeches. w. c. Horton read
an excellent historical sketch of the Miller
family, showing that it was originally
Scotch from the North of Scotland, where
| now live many families of that name
David Miller was the first of that name
known in this country. He was born in
| 1886 and died in Marlboro. His first child,
David, was born in Marlboro in 1853. His
son Thaddeus was an honored soldier of
the Revolution, married Mary Pratt, locat-
ed in the west part of Brattleboro. and
had large family of children. Eli
fourth child of Thaddeus, was born on the
Cutting farm, married Sally, daughter of
Benjamin Carter of English ancestry, and
died Oct. 10, 1862, aged -. His wife died
in November, 1866, aged II. They had nine
children, David W., Harry, Nancy NJ,
John b., Elizabeth, Charles g., Stanford
c., Lucy Sophia and Sarah. Those now
living are Elizabeth (Mrs. Nelson Willard)
Charles G., and Lucy, Sophia Mrs. Henry
Akley). John b. married Jane A.
daughter of David Barrett of West Brat
tleboro. They had ten children, MAYER
cite, Frank l., Charlie, A., Alice NJ. Eva
D.. Geo. T., Emma, Austin E., Myra b.,
and Luther II. Eva j. married David T.
Perry. Their four children, with several
others present. were the seventh generation
from the first mentioned David Miller.
Several from different branches of the
family responded to the call for remarks.
David I. Perry proved himself punster
and hit wherever there was a chance with
well-aimed darts. Mrs. Alma Goodenough
read short account of the relationship of
the families, which developed tangle
difficult to straighten.
Base ball, foot races by old and Young.
and many other games, with supper oc-
cupied the time till : o'clock. Songs, re-
citations and readings enlivened the hour
and the participants We're heartily APP
plauded. Mr. Johnson's great knowledge
of cats was so thoroughly appreciated by
the audience that he was repeatedly recall
ed to give more information in regard to
that cat. Finally it died and the coored
singer retired from view. Then came the
fireworks, which gave pleasing variety
to day full of good things. Still a good
sized crowd returned to the hall and gave
vent to their enthusiasm in the merry
dance, which closed day of real pleasure
to all.

TWO OPERAS
To BE Presented---JuIy 10 and IL.


The dates for the presentation of "a
Countess for Day." and "The Lovely
Galatea" are Monday and Tuesday even
lngs, July 10 and II. The Boston Ideal
Opera company have a reputation for being
strong in voices and actors, a combin alton
hard TO find. Mr.. Macomber, in his dual
capacity of manager and director, has spared
no effort to have the performance in this
country such a success as shall place il
among the popular operas of the day.
Miss Louella Wagner, the leading soprano,
and Miss May BOsley, contralto, were for
merly with the Lillian Durell Opera com
pany which had so successful an engage
ment last season at the Boston Theatre.
Mr. Macomber has been fortunate in Sc
curing as his tenor Mr.. r. I. Hall, who
during the season just passed has been
with the Pauline Hall opera company.
Another member of the company who can
not but add to its reputation and popularity
Is Miss ldalia Irving, who is new to the
stage but who has "a voice of remarkable
range and purity. Mr.. Couch and Mr..
Dodd, as bringing up the comedy end of the
piece, are too well and favorably known to
haye,need of mention. In fact, every mem
Der of the company has won high praise
Tor work in the past and are daily adding
to their reputation. The sale of seats
opens at Chapin's drug store next Thurs
day at 1880 p. NJ, and a large advance
sale is practically assured.

ATTEMPTED 1NCENp1AR1sM

Fire was discovered in the lower barn
occupied by the Brattleboro Livery COM
pany last Monday morning about half-past
10. When Stage Driver Lamb of the Will
mington line put up his horses at that time
he thought he noticed the smell of smoke
and notified Manager Stockwell, who at
once investigated the matter. On enter
ing the part used as a carriage house, flames
were discovered back in a corner under
the carriages. The carriages were pulled
out and the fire easily extinguished. John
Calvin of the board of bailitfs has looked
into the matter thoroughly and does not
believe it to be the work of bows as was
thought at first. The box where the fire
started is burned completely through on the
bottom, while some of the papers with
which the box was filled are untouched.
Evidently slow match was placed in a
corner OF the box. There seems to be no
doubt that the fire was started by one who
hai in mind the malicious purpose to start
a fire where it could do vast amount of
damage.

CLAIMS OOO
The United States Wants n Big Por-
ton of the Stanford Estate.

A( 5tatCS
ton of the Stanford Estate.
WASHINGTON, June Representative
Mcclure, of California. vouches for the
statement that Encouragement Olney has
filed in behalf of the United States a claim
against the estate of the late Senator STAN
ford for the sum OF s15,O 100000. The claim
will be presented to Mrs. Stanford, who is
the executrix of the estate. Mrs. Stanford
is not in the city, but is believed to be
either in San Francisco or at Menlo Park.
1t cannot be said what action she will take
in the matter, but it is believed here that
she will reject ii. The claim is the proper
tomato share of debt of the Central Pacific
railroad which the Department of Justice
stimates that the estate owes the United
States upon the theory that personal as
sets of individual member of the original
Central Pacific syndicate are liable for the
debt of the corporation now due, or which
will become due the government. If Mrs.
Stanford rejects the claim the Department
of Justice will have then TO decide what
further steps will be taken. 1t is under
stood that the claim was filed under Cali
fornia statutes, so that the statute of limi-
tation may not prevail against it. The
claim Is filed now in order 10 protect every
possible interest that the United States
may have in the Stanford estate through
the affairs of the Central Pacific road.

WAR VESSEL FOR SAMOA.
The United States Preparing to Send
One TO Apia.

Oh( ~hDa
WASHINGTON, June IA United States
war vessel will be dispatched to Samoa
within a few weeks. Recent dispatches
from the islands indicate that the situation
is very critical, with an armed force of
natives, numerically stronger than the
Kings army, drawn up in battle array and
threatening to overturn the government.
The situation gives rise to grave appre-
hension, for, as the foreigners resident on
the islands have steadily given aid and
comfort to the present government, in
which their interests are bound up, it's
overthrow must result in serious loss of
life and property. AT present there are
two war vessels at Samoa, a British and
German vessel, but at last accounts they
soon as a suitable vessel is available it will
be sent to Apia. Probably the choice will
fall on the Marion, now on her way to San
Francisco from Honolulu, or the Charles
ton. at Callao, Peru, If matters there are
quiet enough to justify her departure.
Since the spirit of strife has become SO
strong at Samoa the three powers protect
ing the islands have been strongly i'm
pressed with the necessity of disarmlng the
natives. So far a sufficient force has not
been available to undertake this task,
which would probably, be vigorously re-
sisted, but. it is probable that with the at
tendance of a United States man-of-war,
i'm addition to the British and German yes
sells, the King will be able to do this, and
thus for a time, at least, restore peace to
the distracted islands.

TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.
Propose n NOnpartfsan
Commission.

WASHINGTON, tune 5.-The plan of a
nonpartisan commission to prepare a COM
prehensive code of laws restricting immi-
grafton has been informally discussed at a
gathering of prominent Republican Repre-
sentatives. The members met casually in
one of the House cloak room but the dis
cussion took such an interesting phase that
about twenty members were drawn into it.
The cloak room doors were closed and the
informal talk nearly developed into a eau
Gus. 1t was the general expression of such
men as Messrs. Reed. Dolliver and Cannon
that the immigration question should be
wholly divorced from politics. In order TO
accomplish this 1t was suggested that Con-
gresS could create a national commission
Of fifteen members, representing all parties,
so that the political effects of any restrict
i've code prepared would not be borne by
any one party. The commission would con-
slider the entire immigration question, chang
ing and applying old laws and suggesting
new ones. The code submitted would be
passed on by Congress, and In this way
broad restrictive measures might be Sc
cured without exciting bitter party ami
mostly. E

Troops Ordered Out to Check Rioters
Near Marion, Ill.

Near Marion, Ill.
MARION, ILL.,, June There is any
amount of trouble in sight at the Carter
Vile mines tonight. The strikers are
growing holder and more threatening every
hour. To-day, the north-bound freight
train on the short line which was carrying
eight cars Of Ohio river coal
from Brooklyn. to St. Louis, was
fired into by the mob of strikers. The
sheriff wired the Governor again, making
an earnest appeal for troops. Governor
Altgeld finally yielded and ordered Colonel
Smith. of the Fourth Regiment, to pro-
coed to Carterville at once with three COM
panies. The soldiers will reach Carters-
Vile in the morning. During the afternoon
the Governor. in a very caustic message
to the sheriff. minated that he had
not done all he could; that
he was trying to shift re-
sponsibility on to the State and
said that if he coulds not perform his du-
ties he had better resign. The sheriff re-
turned a reply equally warm, telling the
Governor that he was responsible for mCst
of the trouble in the State, and that If he
would resign or go away and let the Lieu
tenant Governor run things peace would be
established very shortly.

BALTIMORE, June 5.-Strikers, about
five hundred in number, made a descent
Upon the Hoffman mines in the George
creek region near Cumberland, owned by
the Consolidated Coal Company, to-day and
drove out the men at work. The mob then
marched to the other mines of the Con-
solidated Coal Company and made a de-
mand upon the miners to quit. Their de-
mand was promptly refused and the strik-
ers began preparations to enforce it. 1t Is
reported that a sheriff's posse has been
captured by the mob.
This afternoon Governor Brown ordered
out the Fifth and Fourth regiments. The
instructions were for heavy marching or
ger, IatIgue UNIFORM, knapsacK, DIanKets
and two days rations. Marching orders
were issued shortly before 8 O'Clock. The
first train left over the Baltimore d Ohio
railroad at g. o'clock and two other trains
at intervals of thirty minutes. There were
in the two commands $40 men and about
one hundred officers. Tn troops will pro-
coed direct to the seat of the trouble and
are prepared for business.
