A LIQUOR RAID.

Chief of Police Hall, Sheriff R. E. Cor
don and Special Officer Worden made a
successful liquor raid Saturday night at 4
little after 10 O'Clock. To Gordon and
Worden was assigned the night lunch in
Judges building, of which John Gould is
the proprietor, Chief Hall taking the pool
and billiard room in Crosby block run by
W. n. Adams. Only one bottle of beer
was found at the lunch room, while
at the billiard room about 100 bot
ties of beer and ale were seized.
Gould was brought before Justice
William S. Newton Monday morning and
was charged with selling and with keeping
with the intent to sell. He pleaded guilty
to the former charge and was adjudged a
common seller and fined 500. The charge
of keeping with the intent to sell was con-
tinued until Nov. 10. In the case of the
state against the liquor no claimant APP
peared and the liquor was condemned and
ordered to be disposed of, the charges to be
taxed against the respondent. Gould's
fine and costs amounted to 1923.
The liquor seized at Adams's was dis
posed of in the same manner as that taken
at the lunch room and the charges of SELL
ing, and of keeping with intent to sell,
were preferred against Adams. He pleaded
guilty to i've offences of selling, for which
fine of $40 for each offense was imposed.
Adams also pleaded guilty to the charge of
keeping with the intent to sell, for which
he was fined $50 and costs, the whole
amounting to 1882. Both respondents
paid their fines. States attorney G. c.
Fits appeared for the prosecution and A.
+. Schwenk for the defense.

Miss Maud II. Brown Becomes the
wife of George VI. Clay OF Boston.
The Frost street home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel d. Brown was beautifully deco
rated with palms, ferns and evergreen on
Tuesday evening, and was filled with a
company Of relatives and immediate friends,
who had gathered TO witness the marriage
of Mr.. Browns youngest daughter, Miss
Maud r. Brown, and George NJ. Clay OF
Boston.
In one corner Of the front parlor was a
beautiful arch, or bower, of ivy, from the
centre of which hung bell of roses and
carnations. Miss Florence Converse of
East Putney, formerly of Brattleboro, pre-
sided at the piano. At the sound Of Men
delssohn's wedding march the bridegroom
and his best man, Charles L. Richardson
of Boston, cousin of the bridegroom, en-
tered the parlor from the front hall pre-
ceded by Rev. G.. o. Day, by whom the
ceremony was performed. The bridal party
descended the stairs and entered the room
from the rear parlor and proceeded to the ivy
bower. Little Ruth Brown, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Z. Brown and cousin
of the bride, led the march as flower girl.
She wore a white dress and in her hand
was basket of pink and white carnations.
The ushers came next-George Y. Belcher
of the Boston Office Of the Estey Organ
company and Frank W. Nichols of Brat
tleboro. Miss Eloise Brown, a sister of the
bride, came next, and was followed by the
bride upon the arm of her father. The
Episcopal form Of service with ring was
used. The bride was presented by her father.
The brides dress was a corded white silk
with pearl and lace trimmings and she car
ried bouquet of white roses. The bride
maid wore yellow silk with chiffon over

For an hour after the ceremony Mr.. and
Mrs. Clay received congratulations from
their guests, among whom were Mr.. and
Mrs. George F. Kicker of Cambridge, Mr..
and Mrs. George o. Carpenter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Z. II. Spaulding and Miss II. Bland
Thomas Of Somerville. In the meantime
refreshments were served by Caterer A. E.
Miller. A little before o'clock Mr.. and
Mrs. Clay mysteriously disappeared, but
they may be found on and after Dec. at
33 Croker street, Somerville, Mass.
Many beautiful gifts, including furniture,
linen, cut glass, silverware, china, ETC., re-
ceived both here and in Somerville, attest
the esteem in which the young people are
held. Mr.. and Mrs. Clay are graduates Of
the Brattleboro High school. For several
years Mrs. CLAY has been employed as
bookkeeper for Emerson & Son, while Mr.
Clay has position in the Boston house of

AN OLD FRAUD.
Col. sIllOwRye, Formerly of Bellows
FalIs, Connected with a Campaign
Forgery.

Falls, Connected with a Campaign
Forgery.
Col. W. A. II. Sillowaye has been heard
from again. This time he is at West
Farms, y. Y, and figures in connection
with letter alleged to have been written
in 1890 by Maj. Mckinley TO Gen. Welles,
in which Mckinley is opposed TO granting
pensions 10 brave veterans of the Civil war.
The letter is declared TO be forgery by all
who are acquainted with the presidential
candidate against whom it is launched.
Col. Sillowaye is the old fraud who was
railroaded out of Massachusetts nearly two
years ago. He had worked Grand Army
men of New England TO the extent Of hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars by telling a
story Of desti.ution, back of which was
brilliant record, which included degree at
Oxford, term of service on McClellan's
staff, and grand exploit on the Potomac
which resulted in saving the life Of Presi-
dent Lincoln when he was in a disabled
boat which was drifting toward a rebel bat
terry. A few years ago Sillowaye worked
as compositor in the Bellows Falls Times
office, and he showed himself a man of
very ordinary education. When his story
was exposed at Boston, 1t was shown that
his war record was fabrication. After he
was sent away from Boston he created
sensation in New York as a man with
mania for writing letters threatening sui
eide, the object being TO secure assistance
from sympathetic dupes. In these letters
the old war stories were repeated, and
when Sillowaye was interviewed he gave
still further romantic touches by telling
how years ago he worked at the case with
Robert Bonner, had been an actor in the
Howard Athen@um in Boston in 1852 with
the elder Davenport and Forest, and had
worked In the Uuited States secret service.
Since the Mckinley forgery came to light
Robert 7. Lincoln has been interviewed in
regard to Sillowaye's stories. He reviews
them at length, showing that they are alb
solutely false.

Net profit, Si,6lg 81
1t should be remembered that this re-
port Is not complete, but shows the situa-
ton at this date. There will bethe profits on
the dining-room business and receipts from
other sources which will, it is estimated,
increase the above profit to $500. There
will also be some further expenses TO meet.
The debt of the association outstanding at
date of this years fair was $1,000. This
has been paid out Of above mentioned
profit, and it is believed the balance of
profits will fully meet all Indebtedness,
thus leaving the association free from debt
for the first time since organization.
The profits of all fairs have been invest
ed in new buildings and improvements and
not dollar has been returned to the orig
NAL stockholders. The stock subscrip-
tions paid In amount 20 1850. The prof
its (all fairs) invested approximately &c.
9T5, or a total investment Of $40, 525. Each
dollar Of stock represents an investment
| Of $2.7S. Not a bad showing, sure
| ly, when it is recalled that a profit of
| $500, IL divided among stockholders,
would mean a dividend of over Is per cent.
And when it is further remembered that
the subscriptions to the stock were made
by our most enterprising, public spirited
men-farmers, business and professional
men-with little expectation of ever seeing
dividend or return of their investments,
but were made periodically and with a
view Of benefiting the community, it must
be acknowledged that the success achieved
has more than met all expectations. Its
benefits have been and are of very great
value, and credit TO the town and men
who have given their time and talents TO
| its success.
