MRS. E. A. WARD.

Mrs Elm Aurila Ward, whose death occurred
at West bingham Mass, during Wednesday
night Of last week, left Brattleboru four wears
ago TO keep house for her son, Merrill c Ward.
then studying for the ministry at Tufts divinity
school During school vacations it was her de.
light to visit her wide circle of friends in Vermont
at whose homes she was welcomed cordially, for
she seemed to carry spiritual atmosphere that
helped one underst and life aud duty and see the
beauty OF the world more clearly. She was
deeply religious without seeming to appear so
and gave very practical help in body and mind
for everyone.
After her sons settlement as pastor at Hing.
ham year ago, she Joined the church at Hing
ham and took great interest in its work aud all
learned TO look eagerly for her sympathy and
teaching. The week before her death she seemed
nearly as well as usual. She wrote two poems 10
oe read by her son at funerals he attended that
week. The afternoon before her death she made
several calls IN the parish, especially upon the
SICK. She retired cheerful at night and passed
away in her sleep, probably about midnight

TAR AND FEATHERS
vic,, who was Attentive 20 Bond,ine
Girls.

Applied 20 MIIIIe WILLIAMS, an e1-Con-
Wet. who was Attentive 20 BondyiiIe
Girls.
A tar and feather promenade furnished
amusement for the knight errantry Of
Bondvile Friday night. Mile Williams.
an ex-conyict, had been assiduous in h..
attentions to the family Of Dwight Bowen.
especially TO the two daughters. He had
been warned by some men Of the town 20
keep away from the girls, but he continued
to be frequent visitor at the house. The
family is in poor circumstances and has
received aid from the town.
He was there Friday night when the
house was surrounded by Bondvile men
and four of them entered without waiting
for an invitation. Williams pulled a re-
volver and fired two shots before he was
overpowered. Neither Of the shots took
effect. II he had wounded one Of his tor.
mentors it is quite probable that there
would have been lynching bee. Williams
was soon en- deshabille with the exception Of
a shirt. Tar and feathers we're applied in
profusion, especially TO his head and feet.
He was then placed astride a rail and
carried about mile, and left with injunc-
tions to beware in the future.
He made his way to a friends house
and as soon as possible removed his dark
hued suit. He then sought to have his
tailors arrested. but there was nobody in
Bondvile who cared to take action against
him, and he has since been to Manchester
to consult with the states attorney.
Williams is a bad character, and was
sentenced to prison for breaking into the
mail car at South Londonderry. The in
dictment for breaking into the railroad
station at South Londonderry is still hang
! ing over him. There are also reports that
| he served in the reform school, and that
two Of his brothers were there. He is a
son Of Brad Williams of Jacksonville
and his father turned him out Of the house
| a short time ago, but it is said now that
the father is willing to help him in prose
| cutting his tailors.

Herbert r. Clark, Formerly Of BrHttlt-

Served one Term for SvIndling.

Served One Term for Svindling.
Herbert T. Clark, formerly Of Brattle-
boro. was arrested Friday night at his
home, p Leverett street, Boston, by In
spectors McGarr and Kelley, charged with
the larceny Of SGj from Calvin 5 Douty of
AS Broadway. Chelsea. on July Il. Clark
is said, in addition to this, to have secured
a check from Douty. The officers say his
plan of operation is to place an advertise
ment in the paper Of man wanted for
special situation where a deposit is re-
auired. Receiving an answer he appoints
a place of meeting in room hired for the
purpose, and as soon as he receives the de-
post required, skips to a new place for his
| next victim.
Herbert Clark is the son of the late
Thomas Clark, a well-to-do farmer who
lived on the Fairs Ferry road, in the
southern part of Dummerston, about five
miles north of this village. The father
/ died about six years ago, and the mother
about three years ago. The young man
| inherited several thousand dollars from
/ them He was poor inancier however,
| and the money melted away. Clark work.
| ed at the Estey Organ factory at one time
and about three years ago drove the cart
| for the Elliot street bakery. The farm
which be inherited he sold to the Estey
| Organ company, and after the timber had
| been cut off he bought back the farm, but
! few months after sold it to II. K. Brown.
This is not the first time that Clark has
| been connected with crooked schemes He
was sentenced to a years imprisonment in
the winter of 1896 on charges similar 10
the one now brought against him. He ad-
vertised for a man with $500 TO invest in
the real estate business, and Chas. +.
Stevens, a new arrival from Montana, an
swered the advertisement Clark repre-
scented to him that he had made $500 the
previous year, and Stevens paid $500 for
an intrest in the business, and took
charge of the Office in Court square, Bos
ton. Stevens went to the Office regularly
for some time, but customer never ap
peared, and in time he came to the con.
clusion that he had been victimized out oil
his $500. Clark worked almost identically
the same game on man named Peter
Horne. Clark's wife worked at the Brat
tleboro Retreat before their marriage, but
she secured a divorce from him and some
time ago was living in Gardner, Mass.
