A GALA DAY
For the Boys who Wore the Blue---
1000 People at c. p. GIlson's at West
Chesterfield Last Evening.


Everybody expected a big time at the
West Chesterfield reunion yesterday, but it
really exceeded all anticipations. The
preparations were made on a colossal scale
and the gastronomic provisions were actu-
ally plethoric.
Save for heat the day was favorable and
the crowd was an immense one-much
larger than that of two years ago when the
host, Z. Z. ellison, so bountifully enter
tanned visiting comrades. The 18th New
Hampshire veterans turned out noby and
MIR. Gilson's old company, F, met with
several members present who have never
heretofore rallied at a reunion.
Early Thursday morning the veterans
began to gather and the affair was peculiar
in the unusually large number of the sons
and daughters of veterans present. Some
of the veterans brought five and six chill
dreI distance of nearly 20 miles The
exercises were informal during the fore
noon and the time was spent in hearty
determination. The banquet-and it was
royal in its variety and amplitude-was
served at $50, more than 300 people being
fed. At the evenings campfire "bean-
bake" more than 1900 people were sup
piled.
The rostrum exercises of the afternoon
consisted of music, readings and recitations.
Among the children and veterans partici-
pating were Miss Mary Knowton, Miss
Alice Buffum and Master Francis H. Buff
fun. The Georgemalin ladies' quartet
furnished the vocal program. Co. F of
the 18th New Hampshire held an import
ant business meeting and took steps to is
sue a revised roster to date
The decorations of the grounds were
elaborate, beautiful and on a notably ex-
tensive scale. The preparations for a
good time were unstinted and everybody
had it.
Two thousand people were about the
rostrum for the evenings exercises and the
speaker of the evening, Capt. Buffum,
never addressed more attentive throng
The military parade at o'clock was one
of the best the writer ever saw at a veter-
ans gathering Chief Marshal ellison con-
| Quoting the manevres admirably. The
subsequent drill and sham battle of the
Estey Guards reused the enthusiastic com
mendation of the crowd. VET.

The Boston Transcript is FacetIOus and
Prophetic Concerning the Trolley
Road in BrattlebOrO.
The quiet people of aristocratic, rural
Brattleboro, VT, are in a great state of in
dignation over the advent there of cross
country electric railway, which in some
degree is cutting down century spreading
elms, cutting up the sacred turf and fright
ening off Pan and the pretty peeping dryads.
But soft! The electric current is a part of
nature, too, and will harmonic with the
rest in time. The driver of the magic car,
whistling merry tune as he rounds
curve under the greenwood trees, while he
carries sunbonneted Jenny and her basket
of eggs to town and Hobbs and his pail of
butter, and helps the tourist on his way
there is nothing very destructive in this.
Let it come-and let it go. 1t is destiny.
The car is less dangerous by far than the
horse. Men must get from place to place,
and life is short. The inter-municipal
electrics of New England will undoubtedly,
be blessing to the towns they connect, a
ditfuser of happiness and comfort, ligatures
of intelligence, binding all hearts and in
terests in closer bonds. The great cry that
went up against the West End introducing
electrics in Boston is now plainly seen to
have been the stupidest kind of fossilism,
to heed which would be death and stagna-
ton for any community. So it will be dis
covered in five years time that the protest
against the country roadside trolley is all
nonsense or worse-the selfishness of
steam railroad stockholders.

SETTLED WITH MRS. KIRKLAND
FOR $780,
A Letter Which Fully Explains the Ac-
tiOn of the Committee.

A Letter Which Fully Explains the Ac-
tiOn of the Committee.
DR.. d. P. Webster, Chairman Board of
Selectmen:
Dear Sir:-The committee agreed upon
by Mrs. Kirkland and yourself, who were
to make a final settlement with Mrs. Kirk
land for damage to her property on North
Main street by taking therefrom a certain
portion for the widening of the street and
sidewalk, respectfully report:
That they find in addition to such por-
ton as is now staked out that some years
since a piece of land was taken by the
town from the southwest corner of Mrs.
kirkland's lot, as fully appears by her
deed, the same being 20 inches wide at the
south end, and running northerly % feet
to point; or equal to piece of land 10
inches wide by % feet long, for which said
Mrs. Kirkland has never received any COM
pensation, and we have, after giving the
whole matter full investigation, settled
with Mrs. Kirkland for the sum of 5000,
to be paid her as in full payment for the
above mentioned land. We also strongly
recommend that so much of the curbing
now placed, which is 10 inches higher than
the present sidewalk, be reduced to four
inches and that the road and sidewalk be
concerned thereto. Yours truly,
GEO. S. DowLEY,
G. F. THOMPSON,
G. A. BoYDEN.

THE TRoLLBY's PROGRESS.
The Road Is Now Laid Through Gem
treville.

Western avenue has witnessed the pass
ing of the "trclley gang this week and
the "head of the line is beyond the Cen
treville bridge. The setting of the poles
will be practically complete as far as the
rails are down by the end of the week.
The poles have been set on Main street
and are being painted a dark green. On
Oak street and part of High street the
trolley wire will be fastened to the trees.
This is done at the request of the residents
of those streets. The wrought iron brack-
cts were distributed along the line yester-
day. They are of neat design and are
very strong,
E. C. Crosby has bought the old Yer
mont House at West Brattleboro, which
was sold at auction last week to John p.
Sargent. The barn and L have been taken
down and removed from the lot. The
main building has been moved back to the
west line with the end to the road. A new
L will be added and the house put in shape
for occupancy. A car house for two cars
will be built at the south side of the lot.
This will be the western terminus of the
road. 1t is rumored that a summer hotel
is one of the possibilities.
The surveyors having finished their lines
to West Brattleboro began yesterday run
ming their lines on Canal street. They
will finish their work within a week

w. J. Watson, Native OF VvRrdsbOro, Now
OF che DE Soto Hotel at savannah,
Has Taken Life Insurance Policy for
That sum.
"In the 100000 class" is the heading
under which portrait and sketch of w. J.
Watson appears in "The Weekly State
ment," the periodical issued by the Mu-
tual Life Insurance company of New York.
Mr. Watson, who is one of the most widely
known hotel men in this country, and
senior member of the firm of Watson &
Powers, proprietors of the famous "De
Soto" of Savannah, Ga, has recently pur-
chased a policy for the full limit of $780,
600 in the Mutual Life Insurance company
of New York. Mr.. Watson was born in
Wardsboro, this county, where he resided
until his 18th year. He then removed to
Bradford and engaged in the hotel bust
ness. He next went to Charleston, S. c.,
where he became a recognized leader in
the puplc enterprises of that city. From
Charleston he removed to Savannah, Ca,
and together with Mr.. Powers assumed
control of the Pulaski House, then the
leading hosiery of that city.
The business was so prosperous that to
ID eet its demands the firm built the elegant
hotel De Soto, which has been recognized
as one of the leading hotels of the South
since it was opened in 1890. Mr.. Watson
is identified with many of the public and
private enterprises of Savannah and is a
member of the board of aldermen.
