A. NJ. Carlton, 70, died at his home,
known as the cobble-stone house, on Ca
nal street, about O'clock Tuesday morn
ing. lie had been i'll several months and
had been confined to his bed about four
weeks. His death was due to a general
breaking down, there being no organic
trouble. Mr.. Carlton was born in Leyden,
Mass, in November, 1922, and was son
of Benjamin and Polly Hubbard Carlton.
When young man he went to Greenfield,
Mass, where he learned the trade of a
carpenter and joiner. He came to Brat
tleboro in the COS, and for the past 30
years or more had been employed in the
factories of the Estey Organ company.
Mr.. Carlton had been three times married.
His first wife was Miss Mary Wells, a sis
ter of Frank Wells of Brattleboro, by
whom he had one son, Frank, who died
several years ago. His second wife was
Miss Esther Reed, sister of the late Eli
jah Reed of Brattleboro. He is survived
by widow, who was Mrs. Harvey Simonds
OF Brattleboro. Funeral services were
held at the house at l o'clock yesterday
afternoon, Rev. H. d. Maxwell officiating.
The bearers were George A. Hines, H. K.
Taylor, l.. H. Barrett and Henry Willcutt

George B. Hit died at the Brooks House
Wednesday evening after an illness of FIVE

few years. The last one previous to his final
illness came two years ago and was very
severe. After he had rallied from that i'll

Dennis Rebekah lodge elected the follow
ing officers at the annual meeting held
Tuesday evening: Noble grand, Mrs Susie
Reach; vice grand, Mrs. n. l.. Staples;
secretary, Mrs. Mary Amidon; financial
secretary, Mrs. w. d. ellison; treasurer,
Ida Spear. These officers will be installed
at the next regular meeting.
Charles Amidon has moved his steam
mill and family from West Brattleboro to
the south part of the town and is to live
in the so-caled Truman Stoddard house.
says the Chesterfield correspondent of the
Keene Sentinel, but DIR. Bowen has lately
bought the place and wants to make some
needed repairs, and they are obliged to va
cate the house. Amidon is going to take
down the building that his brother George
has lived in so long and move it out there
and set it up for his family to live in.
1t is probable that no further steps will
be taken in regard to the proposition of
Charles Miner to enlarge his hosiery bust
ness and employ not less than 100 hands
for five years If the citizens of Brattleboro
would deed to him the factory in Centre
vile. Several copies of his proposition
were made last week but they have not
been largely circulated. Bacon & Co. of
New York, the firm for whom Mr.. Miner
intended to do business, were notified this
week not to come to Brattleboro as they
intended until matters assumed a more
definite shape. While Mr.. Miners propo-
sition is regarded as safe one to accept 1t
is said that the reason for allowing the
scheme to fall through was that stock
company might be formed for the manu-
facture of hose in which case an oppor-
tunity would be offered for Mr.. Miner to
turn in the factory (which, according to
the terms of his agreement, was to be
decided to him) as so much stock and then
sell it, making cash profit of it.

renoyating the second floor Of the old Val
ley Machine shop, a space OF 100 by so
feet in size, where Brattleboro's latest in
dustry, the Electric Hosiery company, will
begin operations. The mill will be fitted
with the finest modern machinery. part
Of the machinery is already here, and all
except two or three special machines which
are being built has been shipped. The
mill will be run by electrical power. The
capacity of the mill at the start will be
about 100 dozens a day. This means that
employment will be given at first to about
20 hands.
The goods TO be made here are contracted
for by large New York house which has
agreed to take as high as 400 dozens a day.
The several Brattleboro business men in
terested in the new concern expect 10 in
crease the output of the mill largely after
the business is in good running order. This
mill will be under the supervision of one of
the most competent hosiery men in New
England, who is now connected with a
large mill in Massachusetts,. The financial
management will be in the hands of L. A.
Gregg, of the firm of Morris & Gregg. He
will act as treasurer and will devote spare
time from his regular business TO the in
terests of the new concern. 1t is expected
that the mill will be ready to begin opera
tons Jan. Is.
This concern has no connection with the
one which Charles Miner wishes TO run in
the Centreville factory, and will in no way
interfere with it.

A DONATION PARTY
For the Home for the Aged and Disabled
Wednesday, Jan, 4.

Wednesday, Jan, 4.
Next Wednesday, Jan. 4, 1899, has been
fixed upon as the date for long-talked-o of
donation party at the Home for the Aged,
and upon that day from o'clock in the
morning until at night the home will be
open and some of the committee present
to receive any article large or small that
any person, man, woman or child will
bring. 1t is hoped and believed that this
invitation will be largely responded to. 1t
is a matter that concerns everybody. Lots
of things are needed and Brattleboro is
never behind in acts of kindness or gener-
osity. Don't say or think that you "don't
know what to bring" Pictures, orna-
ments, kitchen utensils, bedding, apples,
winter vegetables, iellies, canned fruits of
any kind will be thankfully received
Among the articles most sadly needed Is a
mattress. Couldn't several of the friends
club together and furnish a mattress, and
another club pair of good blankets?
Won't somebody bring us a table cover for
the hall table? Most any housekeeper can
spare jar of fruit or a tumbler of Jelly I;
either would be most acceptable. If you
can't come yourself send your little boy or
girl with some offering, no matter how
small. 1t will be a good thing for the
child, teaching 1t in practical manner
that sit is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." Dou't leave your donation at the
door and run away. Come in and see the
home and its people, shake hands with
our good matron, Mrs. Nash, have a cup
of hot coffee and social chat. Don't for
get the date, Wednesday, Jan. 4, 1899.

The latest murder mystery in New

Cornish went from Boston to Chicago
as Athletic instructor for the Chicago Ath-
letic club. He has had similar position
the past three years with the Knicker-
booker Athletic club in New York, and
within few days has been mentioned for
the vacant place at Yale.
He lived with Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Rogers at Columbus avenue and seth
street. Mrs. Rogers mother, Mrs. Ad-
ans, SO, was Cornish's aunt.
On Christmas day Cornish received by
mail at the athletic club a silver medicine
receiver containing vial marked bromo-
settler. Cornish took the package to his
room. Mrs. Adams had a headache We'd

Cornish for the bromo-seltzer. Mrs. Ad-

Cornish tasted of the medicine and also
became unconscious. Mrs. Rogers sent
for physician. DR.. Hitchcock, who
placed little of the mixture on a knife
blade, was made i'll by touching his lips TO
the blade and another physician was sum
moned. DR.. Hitchcock recovered after
taking an emetic, and Cornish was saved
by using stomach pump. Mrs. Adams,
however, died in a short time.
The police are working on the theory
that the deadly drug was sent to Cornish
with the expectation that it would kill
him.

Mrs. Mary Chaffee Moore SandersOn.
Col and Mrs. G. w. Hooker received
telegram Tuesday announcing the death in
South Boston of Mrs. Mary Chaffee Moore
Sanderson, 70, widow of Asa Sanderson,
formerly of Brattleboro. The cause of
her death was pneumonia. The body was
brought to Bratteboro Wednesday after
services at South Boston, and the burial
was in the Prospect Hill cemetery, Rev. E.
Q. S. Osgood officiating at the grave.
Mrs. Sanderson was born in Springfield,
Mass. She married Mr. Sanderson when
she was 16 years old, and they lived in
Springfield for some time afterward. Mrs.
Sanderson's sister, Lucy Dwight Moore,
lived with them until she married James
Fisk, jr., Mrs. Hooker's brother. Mr..
and Mrs. Sanderson then came to Brattle-
boro and Mr. Sanderson leased of Col.
James Fisk, ST., the old Revere House,
which stood on the site of the Peoples
National bank. Mr.. and Mrs. Sanderson
next went to Bellows Falls, where Mr..
Sanderson managed for several years the
Bellows Falls House. Mr.. Sanderson
afterward went into business in New York
city, and Mrs. Sanderson returned to
Brattleboro, where she lived at the Revere
House. After the death of James Fisk, IT,,
Mr.. and Mrs. Sanderson went to Boston to
live with Mrs. Fisk. Mr.. and Mrs. San
derson and Mrs. Fisk then went to Hat
field, Mass, to live. Their home was
burned in Hatfield and they returned to
South Boston, where their home has since
been. Mr.. Sanderson died about four
years ago, and his body was brought to
Brattleboro for burial. Mrs. Sanderson
and Mrs. Fisk were guests of Col. and Mrs.
Hooker during the summer two years ago.
Mrs. Sanderson was woman of great in
tellectual ability, and she possessed cor
dial and kind-hearted disposition which
made for her many friends.
