Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1894-11-08

Here's hoping Bellows Falls will score
another victory.
The Young Peoples Christian Union
of the Universalist church presented
the comedy "The Cool Collegans" at
Walpole last Friday evening, the en-
tertainment being followed by dance.
1t was well patronized, the net profits
being over $50. Several couples from
here went down to the dance.
The sos p. m. train over the Boston
and Maine railroad now waits for the
Fitchburg train, which arrives at Gas.
This is a great convenience to the trav-
elers from Boston who are going north
over the Boston and Maine, az for sew
eral months they have had to wait here
from three to five hours to make con-
nections.
Members of the opera company We're
searching all over town yesterday to
find rooms for the night. Both hotels
were full and about every furnished
room in private and boarding houses.
Our hotel accommodations are equal to
ordinary business, but when a company
of so people drops into town they are
apt to be cramped for room.
Three Vermont Academy students
were arrested Tuesday for Halloween
FRANKS at SaXton's River, on complaint
of w. B. Glynn. Witnesses were sum-
moned and the case was to be tried in
States Attorney Allbee's office; but
Mr.. Glynn decided not to press the
charge and the case was nolle pressed,
the boys paying all the costs.
George B. Wheeler has sold Is of his
shirt starching machines to laundries
through New England, and has an Or
der for one to go to Montreal. Though
there have been score of machines in
vented to do this work, none of the
Others were found practical. Mr..
Wheeler built an experimental machine
and run it several months in the laun-
dry here before placing it on the mar
ket, and it has proved complete sue
cess.
Next Saturday there will be a transit
of Mercury across the suns disc, which
will be visible in this section. At II: ~
a. m. the little planet will start on its
journey between the earth and sun,
entering on the eastern limb of the sun,
and at about 2:39 p. m. the planet will
appear as dark disc surrounded by a
brilliant back ground. With a strong
opera or field glass the transit can be
more plainly observed. This astrono-
mical event will not recur during the
present century.
Two scenic artists from Syracuse, n.
Y, are making arrangements to paint
a secondary drop curtain for the Opera
House. The curtain will contain adj
vertising matter for local firms, besides
large landscape in the center and a
fancy border. Similar curtains are in
use in many of the city theatres now,
and in all well regulated houses there
is a second curtain to relieve the strain
on the big drop. Constant use of the
one here has nearly ruined it, and the
new curtain will be quite saving to
the town besides being a unique inno-
walton.
An excursion to Montreal will be run
over the Central Vermont railroad next
week. Tickets will be sold for the
round trip from all stations between
Bellows Falls and Rutland at only
S1.50. A special train will run from
Chester to Montreal and return next
Tuesday, leaving Chester at 5 o'clock a.
m. 1t arrives in Montreal at 1:55 a.
m. and leaves on the return trip at p.
M, giving over five hours in the city.
The tickets will also be good going on
any train Tuesday, November 10, and
returning good on any train until No
vember Is inclusive. No stop-over
privileges will be allowed on these
| tickets.
The weather of the past week has
been changeable enough to suit every
taste. Some who have wanted more
rain, got it in large quantities. Others
who have thought the weather too
warm and pleasant for this time OF
year have been accommodated with a
large slice of winter and smart snow
squat. There has also been bit OF
warm, pleasant weather sandWiched
in between. The snow storm of Mon
day night was quite a surprise. After
raining all day snow began falling Wig
orously, and though it melted almost
as fast as it touched the ground, in
some places there were espectable-sized
patches of white ground Tuesday morn
ing.
