Birmingham is to have a pretty novelty in the amusement line. The managers have secured the large store in the Wilson Build ing, corner Second avenue and Twenty first street, and will place there the cele- brated Crystal Maze. This wonderful in- vention is popular with the masses. The Maze to be placed in this city is the same that created much excitement in New York at the corner of Broadway and Thirty eighth street for two years. No doubt the Maze will be great success in our city, as there never has been such an exhibition as the Maze with us.

MR.. TAFT BALD FEES
And is Suing Now to Recover Part Of
the Costs from O'Clare.

And is Suing Now to Recover Part Of
the Costs from O'Clare.
j. II. Mortified was in West Dummers.
ton last Saturday as the justice in a hear
ing in the case of John Taft against Arthur
O'Clare which arose out of the laying of
an iron bridge at West Dummerston seve-
raj years ago. In 1901 or 1852 Mr. Taft.
Mr.. O'Clare and others petitioned the
county court to lay the bridge and the
court appointed a committee to investigate
and to make a report, The committee re-
ported in favor Of laying the bridge and
the court confirmed the report
There were certain legal fees which
it became incumbent upon the petit
TONERS to pay, and these We're paid by Mr..
Taft. Mr.. Taft now brings suit against
Mr.. O'Clare to recover his share of the
fees. O'Clare claims that he cannot write
his name and that therefore if his name APP
peared on the petition it was forgery.
Mr.. Taft claimed that O'Clare authorized
him TO sign his name, and it is the belief
of the court that such was the case. The
question is really whether Mr.. Taft can
collect. legally, any of the fees, inasmuch
as he paid them all himself. II. G.. Bar
Der appeared for Taft and defendant was
his own counsel. Justice Mortified re-
served his decision.

THE VERMONT PHOENIX, BRATTIEBORO. FRIDAY, MAY 2
Wanted the Antlers ola null Calf.

The night train up from here to Rutland
a few nights ago struck an animal in the
BiNby cut near Healdville which the veteran
engineer, Eli Faulkner, took to be a large
sized deer. Upon reaching Rutland / e re
ported it to the superintendent, who order
ed the section man from Ludlow to 60
there at \. NJ. and secure the prize. Eli
himself telegraphed to the Summit station
asking the operator to 20 down before the
section man reached there and secure the
head, with the large antlers he had seen,
as he wished to have it mounted for himself
The operator walkedt het hree miles, reach
ing the place just as the section man did,
and each at about the same time discovered
the animal to be J. II. Hsokisons vearlng
bull calf 1t was seriously injured by the
locomotive and had to be killed Road
Master Brown thought he would send the
trophy to Mr. Faulkner as requested but
John claimed his calf and the boys gave it
up. They are now questioning whether
Els eyes are getting dim or whether he is
color blind. The accident occurred at al
most the identical point where Conductor
Sections train went down the bank three
years ago.

l.. u. Lockwood Has Opened 90 Acres
Of Land for Building Purposcs---Im-
prOvements which lie Has Made.
The recent purchase of the tract of land
known as the King lot, by Builder l.. j.
Lockwood is developing a new addition to
the village which will be appreciated. 1t
comprises about GO acres, large portion of
which is hill land not now available for
building purposes, but he has already sur.
veyed streets and laid out 90 lots in very
advantageous localities Three houses
have already been begun, one by Mr.
Lockwood one by Neil Mcdonald and one
by Mr. Richardson from Springfield, Vt
The streets are all 40 feet wide and run
north and south, and east and west. The
lots are all - feet or more on the street
and extend 30 and 100 feet in the rear.
Mr.. Lockwood has found large under
ground springs of water in the hill land
back of the tract, has already put in a
cement and stone reservoir of hundreds of
! barrels capacity, and laid over 1000 feet of
twoinch galvanized iron pipe on a few of
the streets, the supply being found ade
| quate for a large number of families, and
is of excellent quality.
The location is pleasant one, In order
to reach there for the present, until the
streets are opened up across the Williams
lots, it is necessary to use right of way a
short distance up the hill leading to Oak
Hill cemetery, but the cemetery itself j.
not visible from the building lots. Mr.
Lockwood has some excellent plans for de
veloping the territory and during the sum.
mer it is probable number more dwelling,
will be built than are mentioned above
Mr.. Lockwood has already trimmed up tn,
trees in the rear of the lots and has hun
dreds of plants of cultivated strawberrie.
and raspberries, as well as other fruits SCI
out in the edge of the woods.

Bellows Falls has for some years had a
regular Chinese laundryman named Char
lie Wing, hard-workiug, honest good resi-
dent. lie is seldom seen on the streets and
few would know there was such citizen
except from seeing his sign and as his Gus
toners 90 in upon business. 1t comes TO
light that he has a contract for food at
regular times of IA somewhat unique char
acter. 1t is with a poultry dealer, one
who raises chickens at all seasons Of the
year. The order is for just dozen eggs at
stated times, the provision being that they
shall have been set on by hen just two
weeks, not day more or day less, and
for this supply he pays the dealer just 60
cents per dozen. He explains with much
gusto that the chicken at that age is just
exactly right the 'pin feathers not large
enough to stick between the teeth, and a
number of other important points why just
the two weeks age is right.

Rev. Dr. George f. Martin, formerly of
Brattleboro, who recently resigned as pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church of st.
Louis, Mo-, has received a call from the
Hollond Memorial Presbyterian church of

vor of calling Dr. Martin.
Letters were read from Rev. DIR. Paden
of st. Louis, Rev. DR.. Charles A. Dickey,
who preceded Dr. Martin in the First
Presbyterian church, Rev. DR.. S. j. Ncoll
of st. Louis, one of the leading Presbyte-
rian ministers of the country, and Rev.

ties and services of her husband, and con-
tributes largely for his help from her own
resources of refined character and attain
ments.
The Holond Reminder" published
by the church, says; Or George f. Mar
( tin preached for us at both services on
| April ~ and also on May l. In view of
| the fact that he might be called to the pas
! torate of our church, his sermons were list
ened to with special interest, and were
arerward spoken of by many in the kind
! lest terms He has fine command of Ian
guage and is thus enabled to express his
thoughts not only in choice words but
also with unusual clearness. His ripe ex-
perience, sympathetic nature, and deep
spirituality lead us to believe that should
| he accept the call to become our pastor, he
will become a strong force in extending
the work so well begun and so nobly con-
tinued in this large and important field "
DR.. Martin went to the First Presbyteri-
an church in St. Louis nearly II years ago.
