CARLTON vs.. CARLTON
The Compromise which Has Been Made
for the Distribution OF the Estate OF
the Late Mrs. Andrew g. Carlton.

the Late Mrs. Andrew q. Carlton.
A hearing in the chancery case Of An
drew G.. Carlton vs.. the estate Of his wife
Esther Carlton, George A. Boyden, admin
istrator, and her three heirs. Elijah and
Otis Reed Of Brattleboro, and Emelne
Bartlett Of Springfield, Mass, brothers and
sister Of Mrs. Carlton, was held Monday
at Waterman, Martin & Hits office be-
fore Judge L. NJ. Read Of Bellows Falls
the master appointed by the county court
The hearing was to have been continued on
Tuesday, but in the meantime a comprO-
mise settlement had been arranged and
mutually agreed to The claim Of the de-
PENDANTS was that the estate Of their sister
was hers in her own right and that they
were entitled 10 have it distributed accord
ing 10 law, which gives $1,000 70 the sur
vivng husband and divides the balance Of
the wife's estate between the husband and
the heirs Of the wife. The suit was brought
by Mr.. Carlton on the ground that at the
time of his wifes death she held in her
own name the real estate where they lived
and savings bank books representing de-
posts of about $500, this property repre-
sentng the savings and accumulations OF
his life time and about $1,000 received from
his sons estate The evidence introduced
in his behalf tended 10 show that Mrs.
Carlton had been a very close and exacting
woman, who wished to have everything in
her own name, and who insisted that her
husbands earnings should be turned over
TO her: that he did in fact give them 10
her, some So, 900 in all, she paying
the bills and giving him whatever money
he needed TO spend, and depositing the
rest in her own name, so that in equity the
estate belonged to the husband. The claim
Of the defendants as already stated. was
that the estate belonged 10 their sister. a
considerable portion of ii having been de-
rived from the estates of her father and
sister. Under the compromise made for a
settlement Mr.. Carlton is TO take the house
at a valuation Of $500 and is to receive
| $1,000 as due him for property held in trust
/ for him by his wife. The remainder Of the
estate is to be distributed as the law pro
/ vides-S2DO0 going TO Mr.. Carlton and the
/ balance to be divided equally between Mr..
/ Carlton and the heirs Of his wife The
defendants also stipulated that Mr.. Carlton
should from his own funds pay the taxes
on the property for 1894 and So and h 5
wife's burial expenses.
Mrs. Emene Bartlett, the defendant
sister In this case, died last February in
Springfield Mass. It was enormously re
ported at that time that she had left a
large SUN Of money for charitable use in
Wilmington. In point OF fact her estate
amounting 10 some $1,000 or SO. 900 wa
given 20 a church in Holyoke. Her broth
ers, OTIS and Elijah Reed. are now contest
ing the will on the ground that she was o.
unsOuud mind when II vas made and Tia
the property rightly falls TO them a he
. heirs

when many wished to attend the band
concert at West Brattleboro.
The plan will be- to run two cars in the
forenoon and three in the afternoon and
evening. When two cars are in use trips
will be made each half hour and with three
once in 20 minutes. Everything thus far
has worked wonderfully well, considering
the newness OF the road. There has been
little trouble with one motor and occa-
sionally some delay, but nothing further
than this. The purpose has been to assure
safety first Of all.
Stock has been sold to pay for a new
motor which has already been ordered

service and all emergencies can be easily
met. Holders Of stock are not anxious "a

1t is probable that another switch will
be put in. about midway on the road SC
that the traffic may be handled more expe

The cars will stop three times in MAR
street at convenient points. Settles will
be placed at different points along tn,
route. 1t is hoped that the public vii
gather at the regular stopping places SC
that it will not be necessary TO stop tn,
cars on curves and hills.
The track will not be extended TO tn,
