From Manila Bay.
A Souvenir of the Great Battle Printed
ON Board Dewey's Flagship.

| N souvenir OF the eGreat battle Br1nteO
ON Board Dewey's Flagship.
An interesting souvenir of Dewey
great battle in Manila bay has been re.
ceived by Miss Mary L. Wall of Wards
boro in the shape of an account of the bat
tie printed on board the flagship Olympia.
1t appears in "The Bounding Billow," a
unique little paper edited and printed on
board the ship. The title page says it is
published at intervals" Sin the interests
of American Memo Warsmen."
The account of the battle agrees in all
essential particulars with that given by
other observers. 1t records the energy
and determination of the men on all the
ships, but at the same time it notes this
amusing incident, showing cutter disre-
gard for the seriousness of the OCCASION"
which occurred during the heat of the en-
gagement.
at was on board the Raleigh. Two
shellmen, both fair amateur musicians,
would snatch moments between hustling
ammunition to take, one the guitar, the
other a violin, and strike up the inspiring
tune, 'Therell Be a Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight, while even the captain
could not refrain from laughing at the
righteousness of the scene"
lne SCeIt lne DlBnJ aIIer Jne DaIJle was
awful but grand. The blaze from the
burning vessels, their lurid glare over the
rack and ruin ashore and the wrecks afloat,
while occasionally magazine would
burst, like the eruption of volcano,
throwing its flaming debris high into the
air, made a lurid picture of the horrors
of modern warfare that made lifelong i'm
preston on all that saw it.
The typographical appearance of "The
Bounding Billow" is excellent, but it is
evidently printed on some odds and ends
of paper which CHANGED to be aboard ship.
Two copies of the Hong Kong Tele
graph, printed in May, accompany it.

been at work some days getting up the new
schedule for the semi-annual water assess
ments, and has practically completed
his canvass of the families in the village.
The aggregate of the assessments this year
will be a trifle larger than this time last
year owing to its being a more dry season
and more people using hose for their lawns,
for which the assessment counts up larger
in the aggregate.
Travelling men speak in high terms of
the excellent accommodations and good
service given the public by the new Spring
field electric road. Bellows Falls citizens
are finding that it gives an enjoyable out
ing for hot weather, and at small cost,
to go by steam cars to Charlestown and
take the open electrics over to Springfield
and back, number having already been
up with their families and friends within
the past week or two.

BicyclIsts Must Hereafter Keep on the
Sidewalks or So Fine.

The time has at last come when cyclists
will haveto forsake the sidew alks ard use the
roads only. Sunday evening Officer Thomp
son stationed himself in the vicinity of the
Four Pines and arrested two men for rid.
ing bicycles on the walk. Placards have
been posted around the town, and the law
will henceforth be vigorously enforced.
The fine for each offence will be not less
than 50, and it is hoped that the result
will be that pedestrians will enjoy the
privilege of using the walks without dan
ger of molestation.

Town Politics.


Now that election time is approaching
speculation is rife as to who will be nomi-
mated by the Republican caucus to repre-
sent the town at Montpelier. Among the
names which have been whispered around
by some of the leading lights in local poll
tics are those of Nathaniel l.. Divoll of
Rockingham, John T. Moore of this vii
lage, and Rev. j. A. Leach of Saxtons
River. n. L. Divoll has the unanimous
backing of the Republicans in his section,
and not few in Bellows Falls. 1t has
been generally conceded that the nomina-
ton for representative should go to some
one outside of this village this year as B l..
lows Falls has had the honor for several
years past. j. A. Leach has the backing
of his community, and although he does
not solicit the office he will accept if nomi-
mated This bids fair to make things live
ly for the fall campaign.

Mill Could Not Start
Because the Gate Had Been Raised and
the Water Allowed to Escape---Ed-
ward Ducher Arrested on Suspicion.

Edward Ducher of Saxtons River was ar
rested Friday for malciously interfering
with the machinery of the Saxtons River
Worsted company. On July 30. Ducher
asked the foreman foripermission to take a
day off on Monday, but his request was re
fused. Sometime during Sunday, it is
alleged that Ducher raised the gate of the
dam, allowing the water to escape. When
the mill was ready to begin work Monday
morning, it was discovered that no power
could be obtained, and the trouble was
soon discovered, but it was after 10 o'clock
when the mill began running. Ducher
told someone what he had done, and in
this way the authorities managed to find
out who was responsible, and also that
Ducher intended to leave on the noon train
from Bellows Falls on Friday. A telephon-
ic message was sent to G. H. Robb, who is
sued writ for trespass, with the result
that Ducher spent Friday in the lookup.
Duchers father furnished bail

Democrats Reject Gold Democrat for
Mckinley Man.

1t is an interesting fact that the mem
bers of the Democratic county convention
refused to support K. 5. Leonard for the
office of side Judge on the grounds that he
was gold Democrat at the last presiden-
tial campaign, and yet nominated DR.. f.
R. Campbell for the office, despite the fact
that DR.. Campbell was not only gold bug,
but even voted for Mckinley. Surely,
wonders never cease.

A Sailors Button.
An Interesting Souvenir of the De
structIon of Cervera,s Fleet.

\ number of interesting trophies of the
present war have been received by some
of the residents of this place from the boys
at the front. One of the most valuable is
a button cut from the uniform of Span
ish sailor on the destroyed battleshp Viz
caya. This souvenir was obtained by
Charles Smith, Of the repair ship "Nul-
can, and was sent by him to his family.
A short time after the battle of Santiago,
Smith visited the battered bulks of the
Spanish ships and while rumagng around
in the forward turret Of the Niscaya, he
found what remained of the gun crew, all
of whom had been killed by shot from
one of the American vessels The cloth
ing of the sailors bad caught fire, and only
the crumbed remains of the uniforms and
unfortunate men were left. The button
was found in the midst of a pile of ashes,
and although it was once a polished piece
of brass, and doubtless the pride of some
non commissioned officer, it is now merely
a charred and blackened piece of metal, of
no intrinsic value. The button is almost
oval in shape, and about the size of the or
binary military brass button. On the
front of it appears i'll relief the insignia of
| the Spanish navy, an anchor entwined
with rope, and surmounted by the royal
| Spanish crown. Smith writes that this
souvenir is worth 50 80 where he is and
that he could sell it for that price TO any
of the sailors of the fleet. Smith also sent
a splinter picked up on the Nizcaya.

Miss Kuehne Beveridge
 Soon to Wed Again

It is stated that Miss Kuehne Beveridge, the handsome young sculptor, is to be married to MT. James G. Blaine, next month upon her return from Europe. MT. Blaine neither affirms or denies the report but it is generally credited by the friends of both parties. MT. Blaine has been quite attentive for about two years to Miss Bev- eridge. As is well known, MT. Blaine was married to Miss Marie Nevins, of Columbus, O., Sept. G. 1886, by Rev. Father Ducey, at the rectory of St. Leo's church, New York.
 The marriage was seriously opposed by Mrs Blaine, Sr., and the relations of the young couple, with the other members of the Blaine family were always strained. For a while young MT. and Mrs. Blaine were apparently happy and congenial, but disagreements arose between them, and notwithstanding a baby boy had come to them a divorce soon terminated their TO- nance.
 Early after procuring a divorce, Mrs Blaine married Dr. Wm. T. Bull, a New York physician of distinction and large practice.
 Miss Beveridge was married to Charles Coghlan, the actor, Oct. 25, 1893, at Indian apolis, while she was a member of his dra- matic company. As will be recalled, cogh- Ian deserted his wife and daughter in order to marry Miss Beveridge Rose Coghlan, sister of Charles unhesitatingly took the part of the first wife and her daughter. In a short time Miss Bever ldge was divorced from Charles Coghlan.
 Most of Miss Beveridges life has been spent in California. She is the grand daughter of ex-Gov Beveridge of Illinois and a daughter of Phillip J. Beveridge. Her father and mother separated. Mrs. 5everidge afterward married a German policeman, Baron von Wrede.
 Miss Beveridge, since her divorce has devoted herself entirely to sculpture. Her works include busts of Grover Cleveland Sen. Maceo, Roswell P Flower, James J. Sorbett and Buffalo Bill"
