SCALE MEETING.

The annual meeting of E. & T.
Fairbanks & Co. was held here yes
terday morning. There we're 1864
shares represented and these
directors were elected; Franklin
Fairbanks, Henry Fairbanks. James
G. Gardiner of New York, S.
N. Brown of Boston, H. N.
Turner, c. H. Morse of Chicago and
w. S. Wells of New York. This is
the same board of directors as last
year. The auditors elected were
William S. Boynton and Rev. Ed
ward 7. Fairbanks.
The directors report is as follows:
The year 1898 opened very aus
piciously in our business and the
orders for scales and the prices re-
ceived were quite reasonably salts
factory. The outlook for the year,
and the results for the first half Of it.
gave us great encouragement.
The financial panic which in the
summer overspread the country
caused a very sudden and general
cessation of orders, and necessitated
corresponding reduction in our
production.
The foreign demand for our goods
has not largely fallen off during the
past year, but the railroad and
manufacturing interests of our own
country, which have been and are so
prostrated, have naturally largely
curtailed the requirements for scales.
The fact that the corporation re-
tails its own scales involves main
tanning a very large and scattered
organization, which in the nature of
the case cannot be adapted to sud
den and extreme change in the de-
mands of the market With the en-
couraging outlook at the commence
ment of the year, the sales depart
ments made their plans accordingly
and employed a large force, justified
by the prospects, which could not
be at once reduced, resulting in in
creased expenses. While the first
half of the year was remunerat1Ve,
the last half was saved from being a
loss only by the fact that fairly good
prices were obtained for what goods
were sold.
Our factory, as we'll as the whole
organization for sales, is in a most
satisfactory condition. The efforts
OF those in charge which have en-
abled us to produce goods of the
very best quality at the lowest pos
sible cost consistent Herewith, and
to place the same upon the market
deserve special mention. Many
minor Improvements looking to the
safety and efficiency OF the works
have been made during the past year
and a general revival of the business
of the country will find us in a posi-
tion TO realize most satisfactory
results.
The corporation closes the year
without debt.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.

The latest development in the
Greensboro Bend murder case, which
was given in detail in the last GALE
DOMAIN, is the arrest of Night Watch
man Bow and Abner Cram on the
charge of numbering Isaac Miles,
whose body was found under lum-
Der pile. The arrest was made on
Saturday morning, and in the after
noon an examination was held,
when both respondents were held for
trial in $4,000 bail, in default of
which they were committed to the
county jail at Newport. They con-
tradicted themselves and each other
on the stand and the state evidently
has strong case against them.

A USEFUL LIFE.

Miss Abby M. Thomas died very
suddenly last Thursday morning at
the home of her sister, Mrs. S. H.
Brackett Miss Thomas was not
considered dangerously i'll until the
preceding Tuesday and she failed
rapidly from that time. She was sc
years old and a native OF Farming
ton, Me. She had made St. Johns
bury her home since the Brackets
came here, and leaves three sisters
and four brothers.
For 80 years Miss Thomas had
been nurse and her long life had
been full of usefulness. She was ex-
perienced and efficient and combined
rare tact with a faithfulness to her
lite work that made her always well
come in any home. The funeral was
conducted by Rev. Edward T. Fair
banks, who spoke beautifully of the
usefulness of such a noble life and of

BOARD OF TRADE.

The monthly meeting of the Board
of Trade was held M onday evening
and the principal business of the
evening was the discussion on having
band concerts during the summer.
All the speakers were in favor of de-
vising some plan whereby the con-
certs could be arranged. The result
of the conference was to appoint H.
n. Turner committee to arrange for
a benefit concert, the proceeds to be
given to the band for a series of free
concerts during the summer.
The CALEDoNIAN heartily favors
outdoor concerts and now that the
band has re-organized we hope that
they will net handsome sum from
the benefit concert. 1t is proposed
to have the concert in Music Hall
within a month and it will be well
worth attending. Vocal music and
readings will be feature of the con-
cert and the net proceeds of the en-
tertainment will be given to the
band. AS this will be the only hnan-
cial aid the band will have this sea-
son the concert ought to be liber ally
patronized.

birthday of his mother, and an
esteemed friend and neighbor, Mrs.
Harriet Chamberlin Boyntou. Con-

of the green hills and bursting foliage
without; the beautiful floral re-
membrance within; the reminders of
old times IN the quaint costumes,
and old-fashioned "curtsies" of those
ladies so fortunate as to possess a
dress and remember their manners
the sweet songs of the grandchildren
and the good old-fashioned supper
where people were allowed the pleas
ure of serving one another, and to
"cap the climax" the closing at
tenn pit to sing the Mellow Horn, -
and "Auld Lang Syne," will make
the occasion one long to be most
pleasantly rememb mbered.

BASE BALL.

At last the Dartmouth Reserves
have faced the Academys on the
campus here. 1t happened last Sat-
urday, and the score was to
against the visitors. The Academys
felt we'll over their victory-so did
the grand stand, and the Academy
yell, with horn accompaniment,
evidenced the victors' JOY frequently
during the game. The home team
put up a good game during most of
the nine innings; the winning work,
however, was done in the first two
innings. Al the end of the second
the score stood 6 to 2 in their favor,
and they secured but one more mark
in the other seven innings. The visi-
tors played in ra ther listless fashion,
some of them. Livelier work at the
bat would have told to their advan-
tage, especially in the later innings
when Patey grew wild and presented
SO many OF them with bases on balls.
Aside from this weakening, Patey
handled the ball well, and puzzled
the Reserves not a little. Bagley
caught we'll and gathered in several
foul flies. The battery was we'll sup
ported in the field and in the early part
of the game the Academys used the
stick torcibly. Elroy Clayton UNI
pired. The attendance was good,
and a large delegation took in the
game, d an exceedingly low rate,
from the bridge. The score:
