MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
Franklin Mutual Insurance Company
Protects Its POlicy-HOlders.

Franklin Mutual Insurance Company
Protects Its Policy-HOIders.
The affairs of the Franklin mutual in
surance company of Greenfield, which have
been a source of more or less perpleXity
end uneasiness on the part of both the ottl-
GERS of the company and its assured for
the last year or more, have now been ad-
iusted in a satisfactory manner, by the re-
insuring of all its risks in the Globe insur-
ance company of New York. This action
has been taken with the approval of the
insurance department, and the arrange
ment made is understood to be a very ia
vorable one for the Franklin company.
The reinsuring plan will not, however,
cause the immediate extinction of the com
pany, as the policies that are now in force
will continue until maturity, but under the
reinsurance plan the losses will be paid by
the Globe company. This gives the insur-
ed protection and provides for eventually
winding up the affairs of the company in
the most economical manner possible. The
Franklin company has sufficient assets &c
pay for the reinsurance, and to meet al
| the necessary expenses until such time as
| it goes out of existence. Many of the as
sessments of which upwards of 5000 were
levied on policy holders year ago, arr
now being collected by process of law
| There are several hundred of them out
| standing

ing milk below the standard quality re-

timony of Albert f. Leach, chemist, that
out of Is samples none reached the requis-

Ohio.

A telegraph message was received from
the ST. Alexis hospital, Cleveland, Ohio,
Wednesday about } p. NJ, announcing the
death of Perrin p. Woodbury., who went
there about three weeks ago to be treated.
The death was probably due to heart dis
ease, although it is not definitely known.
Mr.. Woodbury. has not been well for a

shop in the old hotel. Later he moved his
establishment to the old Barrett block
Fisk block now. Soon after he started
a billiard room at keene, y. H., later
another one at Holyoke, Mass. He came
back to Hinsdale about 1878 and set up
his cigar mandatory in Edward Steb-
bins's block, where it now stands. Mr.
Woodbury. was lover of horses and at
one time had IL high-blooded horses,
among which was San Jaciuto, for which
he was offered $500 at one time. Mr.,
Woodbury. was very kind, always willing
to aid any society or person with an open
purse. He was liked and made many

An Assault Case of Local Interest.


This item will interest Hinsdale people
as Charles Frary is well known in town.
1t was taken from the Springfield Repub-
lican under the Westfield heading. "Con-
siderable time was occupied in the dis
trict court yesterday morning by the trial
of Charles f. Frary for assaulting his sis
ter, Mrs. Howard j. Knowlton. Frary is
a painter by trade, and has been boarding
with his sister and her husband, and last
Sunday she reproved him for wnkng at
her 11-year-old daughter. They had some
difficulty at that time, and on Tuesday
Frary took his trunk away from the house.
About 6 o'clock in the evening he re-
turned, and at once pounced upon his sis
ter. She was badly bruised and in the
courtroom showed the effects of hard
usage, especially about the face. She got
away from him and sought refuge at the
house of neighbor. Frary is stone deaf
and was not called on to testify. 1t was
brought out that his aged parents live in
Hinsdale, and that his mother is ill with
heart trouble. 1t was shown that he
| lived most of the time with his parents,
and his sister said that his mother would
feel it keenly if Frary should be given a
| Jail sentence. Although she had been
badly hurt she wanted her brother let of
as easily as possible for the sake of his
mother. Lawyer Kneil made an eloquent
plea in behalf of Frary, urging that for the
sake of the aged parents the judge make
the sentence as light as possible, or elst
place the complaint on file. He said Frary
would agree to leave the state and no
bother the sister in the future. Judge
Stevens said that there had been a violen
assault upon the woman, and that unde
ordinary circumstances the man would bt
severely punished. He found Frary guilty
but allowed the case to be placed ON file
Frary left town in the afternoon. Tn
clerk had to notify him of the decision o
the court in writing"

THE PUTNEY COLUMN.
our Nations Defenders nonored.

The Memorial services in Putney This
year were made unusually interesting by
the dedication of the soldiers monument,
full description of which has already been
given in the Putney column of The Phm-
nix. The exercises of the day began in
the morning when about 20 members of
Greenwood post, accompanied by Rev. n.
Newton Glazier OF Greenfield, Mass, and
a drum corps, went to Dummerston to as
sist in the exercises there. The program
was in charge of Il. NJ. Pratt, who has
recently returned from a New York hos
pital and who was carried to and from his
house. The post was welcomed by Mrs.
Greenwood and the address was made by
Mr. Glazier. Returning to Putney dinner
was served, and at o'clock the exercises
in the town hall began. The post was ac-
companied to the hall by the drum corps,
and after a selection by male quartet
Rev. Mr.. Gazer delivered the Memorial
address. 1t was a notable address delivered
in Mr.. Glaciers best vein.
At the conclusion of the address the post
marched to the upper cemetery to make
the usual decorations. AT their return
they were joined by the Relief corps and
the school children and marched to the
lower cemetery. Immediately after decorat-
Ing tue graves IueTe IDe helleI corps look a
position near the new monument and in
front of the post. Behind the post were
the school children. Prayer was offered
by Rev. F. NJ. Wiswall, and after singing
by the quartet Mrs. Laura Plantz, in be-
half of the corps, presented the monument
to the post in well chosen words which
were well delivered. The monument was
then unveiled by Flossie Fem and Edna
Patterson, who were dressed in white, and
wreath of flowers was placed upon it by
Miss Minnie Whitney. The acceptance of
the monument was made by Commander
Ranney in behalf of the post, and the corps
gave their Memorial service to the unknown
dead after another selection by the quartet.
DR.. Munger, as chief marshal, then led the
ranks past the monument, each person
dropping a bouquet as he passed. The
march was then continued to the hall and
the ranks were broken,

BONNEVILLE.
Bradshaw Sentenced to the State Prison
for Four Years.

Luke Bradshaw, the burly negro, whose
arrest and the subsequent developments
caused such a sensation last winter, was
taken before the municipal court at Ben
nington last week at his own request. He
was sentenced to serve four years in the
state prison on the charge of attempting to
enter with intent to steal. He was taken
to the prison Thursday. The grand jury
has been in session at Manchester this
week and it is understood that charges of
a more serious nature were brought against
Bradshaw, but the result of the grand
j'ry's findings have not been announced.
Ore of the charges related to assault upon
his step-daughter. 1t is also understood
that IA attempt was made to prove that
the des tn of the little Capen boy, Brad
shaw's s,ep-son, was due to poison used by
Bradshaw. States Attorney Bates ha:
worked carefully on the case, and it i:
hoped that the evidence which he has Sc
cured will / ut Bradshaw behind the bar.
