A Beautiful Drive.

Most people in this vicinity know
that ii. w. Thompson has fertile and
conveniently located farm just across
the line in Westminster in the basin
/ west of the Westminster bridge, but
comparatively few are aware of the
Improvements Mr.. Thompson is
making in that vicinity.
The farm consists of 1888 acres, SO
being under cultivation on the flat and
100 in pasturage on the terrace to the
southwest. Within year a fine car
rage road has been constructed along
the top of this terrace, beginning a
short distance south of the Westmin-
ster bridge and crossing the farm over
the fiat, making splendid drive of
some over one and one-half miles.
The scenery from this drive is enchant.
ing and the road at its farthest point is
only Is minutes from the post office or
railroad station. A substantial bridge
spans the SaXton's River, and the road
will be kept in first class condition of
repair. While this is private drive
Mr.. Thompson has kindly opened the
road to the public, and all desiring to
avail themselves of the pleasures of a
ride about this picturesque farm are
welcome to do SO.
The farm has been named Little
Egypt" and has one of the best set of
farm buildings in this vicinity. The
barns have been newly clapboarded and
painted this summer. Mr.. Thompson
is constructing two new silos and has
growing Is acres of fine ensilage corn.
All in all this section is one of the
most accessible and picturesque about
Bellows Falls, and Mr.. Thompson's
opening practically new territory and
improving and identifying the same is
appreciated by the community. Other
Improvements may be looked for in
the future, and this farm promises to
become one of the most popular resorts
about Bellows Falls.

for many years, One year I sold six or
seven gross, and could not keep enough
of it on hand. l never heard a word of
complaint of Hoods Sarsaparilla, and I
have heard good deal in its praise"
John F. Pierce was brought up in his
fathers drug store in Chester, VT, and
was clerk in Milton, Mass, before going
to Bellows Falls in 1892. He says:
"Hood's Sarsaparilla is the acknowl-
edged leader. The general tone of the
comment of people who use it is highly
favorable to it as a remedy"
The record of remarkable cures effected
enables US truthfully to say that

ASHER LAZARUS DEAD.
A We'll known Merchant Dies on Satur'
day Night.

Asher Lazarus, the well known dry
goods merchant, and senior partner of
the firm of Lazarus Bros, died on
North Franklin street on Saturday night
of heart failure. He had not been in
good health for years, but bore up as
long as possible. A week ago last Fri
day he finally gave up and was COM
pelltd to go to bed and he never arose.
Asher Lazarus was born in Rochester
in December, 1857, and was nearly IS
years of age. AS a boy he clerked in
dry goods houses in Wilkes-Barre and
was always regarded as faithful ana
valuable employe. He then became
travelling agent for a Philadelphia
cloak house and made some money.
Returning to this city he entered into
partnership with Solomon Langfeld
and they opened a dry goods store, the
business being very successful In the
meantime Henry Lazarus and Feist +.
I.angfald had been admitted to the frm
and it became known as Langfeid,
Lazarus & Co. In September, 1893. the
firm dissolved, the Lazarus brothers re-
firing to engage in business for them
selves. They made money from THE
first day the doors were opened and the
house now ranks as one of the most
successful mercantile establishments in
Northeaster Pennsylvania Asher
Lazarus was the most companionable
of men and had a large circle of friends.
GIe was devoted to his sisters, Miss
Sophia and Miss Becky, who. together
with two brothers. survive him.
He was a member Of the Elks, In
which he took a great interest. and OF
the Royal Arcanum. Notice of the fu-
neral will be given later.

tire town would be destroyed. Condy
O'Donnell's store and Michael kerri-
gan's house had Doth ignited, when the
Ashley team and engine came dashing
along, and soon a line of hose was
stretched from No. breaker to the
burning buildings, and a stream turned
on. The firemen worked valiantly. and
one of the Ashley men, Frank O'Don-
nell. an engineer on the Central, had
his hand severely cut by an axe. After
two hours hard work the flames We're
subdued, and the citizens of the bor-
ough breathed more feely and at the
same time expressed their gratitude to
the Ashley department.
The inventory showed that Mr.. Grour,
Mrs. Haines and tCondy O'Donnell had
sustained loss of nearly $1,000 each,
and at least another thousand was
reached in the damage done to the other
buildings.
The water companies should take
warning from this lesson, as there are
parts of WilkesIBarre where, If fire
should break out, it would be impossi-
BILE to eXtinguish it on account Of the
lack of water.

MR.. TAMMANY SUES.
He Brings Action Against Police Sergeant
Schmidt for $1,000

Charles w. Tammany the East Mar
ket street furniture dealer, has decid-
ed to bring an action for $1,000 dam
ages against Sergeant Schmidt, of the
pol!ce force, for the assault which he
alleges Schmidt committed on him on
Friday night last. Tammany's in
juries are worse than at first reported.
Besides the strain of the tendons of the
back, one rib is fractured and he suf-
fers severe pain. He says Sergeant
Schmidt is nc'S a fit man to occupy his
present position, as his action of Friday
evening clearly demonstrates. He says
he is hot-tempered, over-otlicious and is
too brutal for an officer of the law. Mr..
Tammany did nothing Friday night. he
says further than to displease the SER
geant in not moving more rapidly when
he ordered him out of the lookup, and
the sergeants attack was unwarranted
and unprovoled.
Mr.. Tammany Is determined to push
this case to the very end. and will do
everything in his power to punish the
sergeant.

is FISHER INNOCENT?
The Confessions Of Hendricks and ROBIN
son and the kcarncy Deal.


Tn the early days of the arrest of
the Barney Reicll murderers. kearney.
Hendricks, Robinson and Fisher, the
prosecution believed that they would
have a hard time to convict the men
of the murder. They believed that the
best way to get sure case was 10 get
Kearney to confess, which, on beinS
sounded on the subject, he agreed 10 90.
An agreement was drawn up between
the prosecution and the defense, to the
effect that If Kearney's statement was
not satisfactory TO the commonwealth
II should not be used against him in
court. This was agreed to and kear-
ney made his statements, implicatlnS
himself to some extent in the matter.
but it was not satisfactory to the
commonwealth. Kearney'S father
heard of the plan and came to the jail
and threatened to disown his son If he
"squealed" Kearney then refused to
confess in full, and the deal was de-
clared off. -
Nhis affair came to the ears of Hem
bricks and lRobinson.and they have
been afraid of Kearney ever since. so,
after Hendricks was sentenced to
twenty years in the penittneiary for his
share OF the crime, he gave an open
and voluntary statement of the whole
affair Hendricks acknowledged that
ne was one of the prime movers In the
crime and that it was he that went
to Barney Reick's house and lured him
away, and accompanied him to the
place of the tragedy. He said that
Fisher was innocent, and was in no
shape or form connected with the muir
der, and that his alibi was truthful
and correct Hendricks claimed that
he never knew Fisher and that he never
mat him until he was arrested,
Robinson. before he was taken to the
penitentiary also made number or
statements, and as shown on. the Wit
ness stand at the time of his trial. said
that Fisher was in no way connected
with the killing of Reick, and that he
never knew Fisher until he met MIN
at the county jail. Robinson made this
statement because he feared that
Kearney was going to tell the whole
story and squeal when placed on the
stand. Robinson was satisfied that ne
would get in the neighborhood or
twenty years If he would plead guilty
in the second degree. 1t Is not known
whether or not these statements Will
be used in favor of Fisher at his trial,
but they probably will.
