while ascending a flight of stairs at her
home in Philadelphia last Saturday even
ing and fell, sustaining injuries which ter
minated fatally on Wednesday.
A leaky radiator in the Brooks House
parlor drenched a portion of the linen

some fine napkins, spreads and cloth
and diapers among them, are to be sold at a
wet goods price.
The trial of j. H. Langley, an official of

The severest snow storm of two years
began Wednesday evening and continued
until yesterday afternoon. The fall in
Brattleboro is estimated at 16 to 10 inches.
A heavy wind caused the snow to drift
badly, and all trains yesterday were de-
layed. The narrow guage train made no
attempt to return to South Londonderry
last night. The storm came from the
Gulf region, and there was an unusual fall
of snow as far south as Maryland and Vir-
ginia. In New York the fall was estimat-
ed at 10 inches, and throughout New Eng
land yesterday afternoon the reports were
of 10 to ID inches. Freezing temperature

TRIUMPHs FOR THE LAWNS.
Mrs. Lawns First Appearance in Ber-
lin This Season and VAR. LAWN at
BroOklyn,


lin This Season and Nr. LAWN at
Brooklyn.
The Brooklyn correspondent of the Mu-
steal Courier, in speaking of Mr.. LAWNS
recent appearance in that city says: "Mr
William LAWN was heard for the first
time this season in concert, and indeed to
fine advantage, for he is an artist in the
true sense, and every note that emanated
from him came in an easy, graceful way,
devoid of the seeming strain that so many
tenors are afflicted with. He is powerful
throughout, and his interpretations are in
telligent and poetical. He gave an aria
from Gioconda, by Ponchielli. 'L'Adieu de
Ronder, by De Lara; i know not, by Lu-
Glen Howe, and TO appease the tumultuous
demand for more he sang kogers's dainty
little song, AT Parting He also sang the
incidental solos in The Voice of spring. -"
The COurer's Berlin correspondent has
the folio wing TO say OF Mrs LAWNS recent
appearance there: "Mary Howe, who sang
for the first time in Berlin this season
since her successes of last year, was in SUI
perb voice. Her faultless coloratura shone
to brightest advantage in the 'Ombra
leggiera' aria of Meyerbeer, after which. of
course, she was encOred. In the vocal D art
OF the program she gave Gregs Sovrig's
Leid and Eckert's Echo song with equally
trlicltous results, and again was encored
Joseph Moedlinger, of the Royal Opera, the
only non American on the program, was
excused from appearing on account of
hoarseness, and again Mary Howe, who
jumped into the breach, was heard-this
time with the well-known nightingale
song of Alabitff"

BrRttleboro v. VI. c. A. Lost at HolyOke
in an Exciting Contest by IL to 10
Score.
The Bratteboro Y. NJ. c. A. basket ball
team kissed the dust at Holyoke Saturday
night, after having won - consecutive
games. Brattleboro players had had two
hard contests in the week, and the only
reason why they did not win this time was
because their game was considerably below
the usual standard. The fact that the
ball bounded back into the floor repeatedly
after going out of bounds, and that three
baskets were ma de but not allowed because
the whistle had been blown just as the
I throws were made, operated against Brat
tleboro. HOlyoke started with a rush, and
at the end of the first half seemed to have
the game well in hand, with the score to
2. Brattleboro maintained her reputation
Tor staying qualities, however, and gave
the paper city boys all they could handle
in the last half. The score:
