WEIGHING THE MAILS.

The weighing of mails at the post office
for 80 days was completed Wednesday. A
total of 1880 pounds has been sent out of
the Brattleboro Office, divided as follows:
Boston & Maine, north, 1852; Central
Vermont, south, TAO; South Londonderry
and BTattleboro route, 372S. The weight Of
the mails received here was 1907 pounds,
of which 5215 pounds came from the north
over the Central Vermont railroad, II, 700
pounds from the south over the Central
Vermont railroad, and 1888 pounds from
the South Londonderry and Brattleboro
route.
The weighing of mails by the govern
ment once in four years is done to form a
basis for eompensating the railroad COM
panies for carrying the mail of the govern
ment for the ensuing four consecutive
years. As the mail pouches arrive at
the Brattleboro post-office they are put in
the scales, and their weight, destination,
date of arrival, on what route they are TO
be sent out again, and what time the train
leaves that is TO carry them, are registered I;
and when each pouch reaches its destina-
ton it is weighed and described again
there. This process has been going on in
the New England states for the past 80
days. The contract is made with the railroad
companies on conditions that are fixed by
law. Those conditions are that 200 pounds
shall be carried for SAP. IS per mile per an
mum; 500 pounds for S64. IS per mile, and
upward TO 1000 pounds at $192. 3S a mile.
For each additional 1000 pounds the rail-
roads receive $21.SS per mile. If the mail
cars are 40 feet long, which is longer than
the ordinary storage cars, another sum of
$25 is paid for each mile, and $50 is paid
for a 60-foot car.

HInsdaIe 40, Turners FalIs o.

The most one-sided foot ball game ever seen in
Hinsdale was played Saturday against the substi-
tute team of the Turner's Falls Athletic club The
score was 40 TO IN favor Of Hinsdale and it could
have been made so 10 had Hinsdae wished TO
reach these figures
Hinsdae had exactly the same team that lined
up against Bratteboro election day. HiDsdale
kicked on and when the Turner's Falls runner was
tackled he dropped the ball. The first time the
ball was snapped back p. Mann skirted left end
for a touchdown. Then followed a game of tag,
rather than foot ball, Turner's Falls b,ing "it.''
7. Mann c. Mann, Snow, CLARK and Archibald
went around the ends for runs of 20 10 90 yards
until the score was 81 to o. Smith being successful
in four out OF six tries goal. In the latter part
OF the first half Hrsdale tried experiments in
Kicking, and made only on more touchdown and
goal. In tie second half the ball was given TO
Turner's Falls repeatedly in order to make the
game more interesting to spectators, but Turner's
Falls could not gain. Clark and Snow each made
touchdown and Smith kicked one goal
Hinsdale played very lively game, and the
long runs were largely due to excellent interfer-
ence on the part Of the backs and ends

play "lmogene, or the witchh's secret" in
West Chesterfield last night in celebration
of the 10th anniversary of the dedication
of Citizens hall. The audience was very
demonstrative of appreciation, especially
the clerks of Durham Brothers store, who
went prepared to give a warm reception to
those of their number who were stars in
the performance. The stars mentioned
were Fred ellison and James Ferriter and
they responded gracefully to the tribute.
The heavy rain Wednesday did not pre-
vent a goodly number of people attending
the lecture by Rev. L. d. Temple in the

lecture included descriptions of English
roads, scenery, villages, castles, cathedrals,
mountains and lakes in ride of 800 miles.
The lecture was under the auspices of the
women's society of the Baptist church. 1t
was very interesting and bore evidence of
keen observation on the part of the pastor.
The next lecture will be given in Decem-
Der.

10 MONTHS IMPRISONMENT.
The Sentence OF Ira II. Knight at BOs-
ton---wsnted on Another Charge.

Ira II. Knight departed into night of
darkness from the United States circuit
court at Boston Wednesday, to be incar-
cerated for the term of 1S months, having
been convicted of using the mails with in
tent to defraud. Knight conducted his
own case, and entered an appeal to the SUI
preme court of the United States. Judge
Nelson refused to grant the appeal, how
ever, and there Is no further hope for
Knight Even at the termination of the
Is months there is still most gloomy
prospect before him, because he is wanted
by the police of Boston for violation of
statute law.
The offence for which he has Just been
sentenced was the sending out of orders
under letter-head reading, "The Metro
politan Engineering and Construction com
pany, So State street, Boston," This de-
ceived manufacturers of surveying instru-
ments to whom the orders were sent, lead
ing them to believe that they we're having
dealings with another concern of high f.
nancial standing.
Manufacturers in several of the leading
cities of the country were led to send goods
to the counterfeit concern. Knight sold
these instruments and the sum which he
secured is estimated from $1,000 TO several
thousand dollars. 1t was his custom to
delay going to his Office until nightfall.
The janitor always received the packages
from the express companies, and then in.
nocently turned them over TO Knight. The
arrest was finally accomplished by United
States Inspector w. A. Brown, after some
clever detective work in Concord, n. H.,
where knight was masquerading under
the name of Carl Huntington. The name
he signed to the orders he sent out were
signed "Howard Mcknight" and his de.
fence was general denial that he wrote
the letters or sent out any orders.
He did not deny, however, that he had
hired the Office at IS State street, and
through the testimony OF an expert OF
handwriting 1t was not very difficult TO Sc
cure a conviction.
Knights arrest in Concord, n. H., two
months ago will be well remembered. A
that time the fact came out that officers
came to Brattleboro to capture knight
and that he fed from here a short time be
fore then to escape arrest for appropriatinl
for his own use mileage books which h,
had borrowed of Thomas Heaphy. knight
was arrested in Boston two years ago 70
obtaining money by mortgaging good
which did not exist, but the case agalns
him was settled.

The delectable morsel of the week for

to raise any issue upon this point, as the
present term of Postmaster Childs does
not expire until February, 1898, but it is
matter of justice to Assistant Postmaster
G. W. Wilcox to say that, should there be
a change in the Office at that time he will
be candidate for the appointment, and
that there is a general feeling among bust
