THE CANAL STREET CASE.
posed Widening Ofthe Street---sugges-
tIon by Road Commtssioner stockwell.

Twenty-Five Witnesses Against the Pro-
posed Widening ofthe Street---Sugges-
ton by Road Commisstoner Stockwell.
The long-drawn-o out case of c. +. Alex
ander of Guilford and others against the
town of Brattleboro, which is a petition
for the widening and Strengthening of
Canal street about the point where the
street is intersected by Pine and Maple
streets, has been further drawn out this
week by two days hearing held by or
der of the county court. At a previous
hearing the commissioners reported to the
county court in favor of granting the petit
ton. The selectmen of Brattleboro APP
peared before the court, however, and OPP
posed the recommendations made by the
commissioners, and the court ordered that
further testimony be taken. The testi-
mony was to be filed Dec. Is. The testi-
mony of the petitioners is to be filed Jan.
l, the defendants rebuttal by Jan. 10.
and the petitioners rebuttal Jan. rs.
The testimony was taken before R. c.
Bacon, notary public, in the Office of Water
man, Martin & Hit, c. c. Fits appear
ing for the petitioners, Waterman, Martin
IL Hit for the defendants and II. G.. Bar
Der for Mrs. Haskins, whose land will be
damaged if the proposed change is made.
About % witnesses were examined, in
Guiding the present and former boards of
selectmen, the road commissioner, and
others who are familiar with the road.
Their testimony was in substance what
they had testified before, that the propos-
ed change was unnecessary and uncalled
for, that the improvement would not be
commensurate with the cost and that there
were other places in town where changes
could be made at a much greater advan-
| tage.
Their estimates of the cost of the change
varied from 1920 to $1,000 excluding the
land damage. One idea not advanced be-
fore was expressed by Road Commissioner
Stockwell, who said that if any change
was made it would be better to move the
sidewalk into the bank, construct a blind
ditch and widen the road so as to include
the present ditch and the present sidewalk.
Such an improvement could be made for
less than one-half the cost of the proposed
change.
| Lawyer Barber examined five witnesses
in the county clerks Office yesterday in re-
gard to the amount of damages Mrs. Has
kins would sustain If the street was widen
ed according to the recommendation of the
! commissioners. None of these witnesses
had testified before the commissioners.
Their opinion was that a cut of 16 feet
into the bank would damage the property
from $500 to $1,000.

CHRISTMAS Is COMING.

The December weather of 1898 is de-
cidedly "Christmas-y." There is snow
enough for tolerable sleighing, and zero
temperature gives a zest to outdoor life
There is prophetic stir in the streets and
the store windows invite the eye of the
passer-by. Bratteboro merchants are, as
always, ready for the emergency, and their
shelves and counters are amply stocked
with goods for substantial everyday use,
and with selections from the best which
the markets afford of novelties for holiday
gift and ornament. Buyers may come to
Brattleboro with full assurance of finding
here all their requirements met-and
money enough left to get safely home with.

A Secret Warrant.

Lovers of the romantic drama were out
in good numbers Wednesday night to see
and listen to Robert B. Mantell and his
company in their Interpretation of "a
Secret Warrant" The scene of the play
is laid in France during the reign of the
Regent Orleans, when John Law and his
famous Mississippi scheme played so prom
inent part in the government of the ma
ton. The play itself is of stirring ma
ture and depicts in some measure the in
ner workings of the French government
during the first of the 18th century. 1t
holds the attention of the audience from
the beginning to the end, and contains
some very thrilling situations. The pow
er of woman in the politics of those times
is clearly shown by the wiles OF Gabrielle
De st. Victor, the French beauty, and the
true weakness of the nominal ruler is for
chilly brought out by the versatility of the
Due D'Orleans.
Louis De Beaumont, the hero of the
narrative, was admirably impersonated by
Mr. Mantell, who took the part of the
French gentleman and lover with much
fervor, but with an ease of manner. Miss
Corona Ricardo as Marguerite Bertrand,
the young heroine, was exceedingly pleas
ing, her unassuming manner and soft
voice doing much toward strengthening
her part. Miss Marie Booth Russell took
the part of Gabrielle De st. Victor clever
ly, and the parts of Jean Bertrand and the
Marquis De st. Victor were carefully rem
dered by Beverly Turner and Louden Nc
Cormack. A. j. Whaley as CASTOR De Va
rennes made an amusing gambler and
gentleman of the world" while James
Carhart as the thoughtful John Law was
very good. All of the other parts were
we'll rendered, especially those of Henri
De st. Victor and Catherine Bertrand.

For the SENTINEL.
IN MEMOEIAM.

Death, inexOrable death, has, with
silent tread and invisible presence,
stolen into many peaceful homes of
Grenada within the past two years and
taken away beloved members of family
circles. Some, tortured by weary
months of hopeless atfiction, waited
patiently, wistfully for the summons;
others, with whitened locks and tired
feet, were glad tc reach the banks OF
"the beautiful river' and rest in the
purple and gold of life's closing day.
Little children, radiant in the flush Of
dawn, paused in wonder as the white
robed angel beckoned them away, yet,
with the echoes of childish mirth still
ripping on the balmy air, folded their
dimpled hands and meekly followed.
Again there is wall of sorrow and
tidings Of the recent death of my dear
young friend, Gerard Doak, tell another
sad story Of sweet companionship sew
cred, of bright hopes shattered, Of low
ing hearts bowed by overwhelming
grief. Generous hearted, whole souled,
noble Getard. He was so we'll known
in his native town that no words, writ
ten or spoken. are needed to point out
the traits of his fine character or add
lustre to the shining record he leaves,
vet would fain offer a tribute to his
memory, though it fills me with pro-
found melancholy TO tbink Of lin rs no
more.
From his early childhood | had
known him and was often intima,e y
associated with him in his home life.
There was the true test of his dlsposi-
tion and conduct. How devoted and
dutiful to his fond mother how obedi-
ent and respectful TO his kind father;
how gentle and tender to the little
brother aud sister and how affectlonate
to the older sisters. Indeed he was
always considerate OF the feeling, OF
Others. Universally popular. he was
esteemed by all classes, but among his
associates, those who knew him best,
loved and admired him for his frank,
unseltish and generous nature. For
one SO young he had developed depths
OF feeling and strength OF character
that would have been an honor to ma
ture years. His friendship was nc
mere form Of words nor acts OF courte.
sy, but was firm and strong as bands OF
steel. and none who claimed the prlvl'
lege of being his friend ever had cause
to doubt his sincerity. Intellectual and
energetic, he won by his integrity and
ability the confidence of men long es'
tablished in business matters. He was
a member of the Episcopal church,
having been confirmed several years
ago, and was ever ready to promote the
interests of the church in any way
within the scope of his means or per-
sonal assistance. In the very spring
time of life he was taken away, and
with his head pillowed on the bright
hopes and Joyous visions of early youth.
he sleeps peacefully. Dear boy. Long
will he linger in the minds ana
hearts of friends, while, with his
very own, sweet memories will abide
us white as the spotless petals and
green and fresh as the leaves OF the
lovely cape jessamine with which nj;
grave was literally covered.
What is death, of which we know sc
little and vet so much? IT. is but the
entrance to higher, more perfect
life, life celestial. life eternal.
