pit for several weeks to come. His minis
trations have been found very acceptable

A writ sworn out by his divorced wife,
Josephine Gale, was served on Fred G.
Gale yesterday. 1t was to recover furni-
ture which she claims belonged to her by
an order from the county court. The furn-
iture had been moved beyond the jurisdic-
ton of the sheriff. Bail was furnished
for Gales appearance at the county court.
Gale claims that Mrs. Gale took such
part of the furniture as she cared for and
that he is entitled to the rest.
Maria Squiers LOOMS, II, wife of n.
w. Loomis, the well known blacksmith,
died Wednesday morning at their Hudson
apoplexy, which she sustained four years
ago. She was a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Leonard Squiers and was born in Guilford
March 20, 1920 She moved with her par
ents to Brattleboro in her youth and lived
at home until 1919, when she married Mr..
LOomis. For 40 years they have lived on
| Hudson street. Mrs. LoOmis leaves
twin brother, Charles Squiers of Guilford.
Rev. l.. ID. Temple of the Baptist church,
of which Mrs. Loomis had been a member
between 30 and 40 years. will officiate at
the funeral, which will be held at the
house this afternoon. The burial will be
in the Prospect Hill cemetery.
1t is understood that Charles X. Buck
land, editor of the American Economist,
who during the last campaign rendered
valuable assistance to the Republican party
by his newspaper and statistical work will
be appointed to the consulate at Glasgow,
| Scotland. The Glasgow consulship is one
of the 50 consular positions which are con
sidered of diplomatic rank, and to which
the President may make appointment
without requiring civil service examina-
tion for the candidate. The salary is $1,000
a year. The official fees of the position
for the last year reported were $11, 1913 and
| the notarial fees 1885 a year. Secretary
fees be paid into the government treasury,
instead of being pocketed as perquisites by
the consus. There has been a report that
President Mckinley would revoke Olney's
| order. The proposed appointment of Mr..
auckland has local interest from the
fact that his wife is Mary Sullivan, a
former wel-known Bratteboro girl.

ton, voted to give Mr.. Darling until yes
