Henry Douglass Sparrow and Lura Abb
gail Perry were married at the home OF the
bride on Henry street Thursday afternoon
at $50 o'clock, Rev. c. R. B. Dodge, pas
tor OF the Baptist church, officiating. II
was quiet wedding, only members of the
two families and relatives from Springfield,
Keene and Putney being present. The
parlor in which the ceremony was per-
formed was very prettily decorated with
cut flowers, terms and potted plants, and q
table in the hall we'll covered with dainty
and useful presents testified to the esteem
in which both the bride and groom are
held by numerous friends. The bride wore
a pretty travelling gown of cadet blue.
The groom is the son of William Spar
row OF Springfield and brother Of Mrs.
George B. Allbee of this place. He has
lived in Bellows Falls during the past four
years, and for time was in the employ Of
the firm of Allbee & Rabbit. He is now
bookkeeper for George B. Allbee.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. R. Perry, and is a graduate of the
Bellows Falls high school, class OF 1891.
During the past eight years she has been a
composition in the TINES office.

A Warm Agency and a Warm Agent.

A Bennington dispatch says: &C. F.
Parsons, claiming to represent the Ma
tionai Mercantile agency, 66 State street,
Hartford, Conn, is in Jail here with
chances that he will remain sometime. He
arrived in the village about seven weeks
ago with a young lady whom he repre-
sented to be his secretary. They went to
the American House to board and he soon
had quite number of merchants who had
bad debts on their books inscribed as mem
bers of the collection agency. About :
week ago the clerk left and since that time
the proprietors Of the hotel have been call
ing for pay. He borrowed 1926 worth of
mileage, dress suit case and got in debt
500 to livery man. He said he was GO
ing to Hartford. About midnight one
night recently the night clerk at the Amer
lean thought he heard some one stealing
down stairs and going to the hall caught
Parsons as he was about half way down,
his suit case packed and all the belongings
that he had over his arm. He collared him,
sent for an officer and when the latter ar
rived the culprit was ready to 60 any
where. He acknowledged that he was
trying to leave and gave as his excuse that
he had spent too much money with the
boys"
This Hartford agency is the one which
had an agent in Bellows Falls three or four
months ago and with great flourish Of
trumpets set about to frighten filthy lucre
out of the pockets of delinquent debtors.
1t announced that 200 writs had been or
were about to be placed in the hands of
Deputy d. M. Thayer, and that c. II.
Robb had been or was about to be retained
as attorney. So far as we have learned
not a single writ was placed in Mr..
Thayer's hands, and the presumption is
that Mr.. Robb's retaining fee will not per-
NIT him to attend the Paris exposition. A
number of local merchants Joined the
agency. The scheme, as we understand
it, had only one inning and the agency had
the benefit of that. 1t cost 500 to become
a member of the agency, this fee to be the
first 500 collected on accounts turned In
to the agency. The agency got all or part
of its 800 in several instances but we have
yet to learn of case where the merchant
realized anything.
This agency has every appearance of
being take of the first water.

A Hot Time Coming.

A weather prophet of no mean standing
observes as follows: In line with obser-
vations given upon the probable weather
tor the summer, would say that it prom
Uses to be warm. 1t will be a good
potato year for quality in almost
every part of the country. The thunder
storms will be fewer than last year, but
much more violent, with more wind than
rain. 1t wouldn't surprise me if the mid
die and far west were visited by cyclones.
Moisture will be more plentiful in the New
England states nearest the St. Lawrence
valley than in the other states of the New
England group.
The latter part Of June promises to be
very hot, and July promises to produce 9
steady heat drier during the latter halt o.
the month.
August bids fair to be record-breakel
for heat, and dry weather. Many small
streams and wells will probably dry up.

A Suggestion.

The last legislature passed law to pre-
vent the use Of the American flag for pure
ly advertising purposes. That body would
have acted wisely if it had gone step
further and passed law Of the same kind
to prevent the undue use of the names Of
popular heroes.
Montpelier has just named q steam roller
CLARK, in honor of the commander of the
Oregon, probably on account OF its admir-
able crushing qualities; babies by the
score have been named William Mckinley (;
there is a Dewey hat; Q Skater cigar 9
new incubator has been named after Clara
Barton; harrow and potato digger after
Governor Roosevelt and an especially
odorifarous brand of phosphate after Gen.
Alper. Isn't it about time to call halt in
this undue and unwarrantable appropria-
ton Of peoples names for commercial pur-
pose.p A law to stop this abuse might be
called an act to relieve public characters
from the embarrassment of the situation

Electricity on the Farm.

The application of electrical power to
farm industry is new development in the
electrical field. and one which will doubt
less interest many of our readers. There
must be many farms on which are water
powers, small or large, which could be
made to yield electrical energy which
would do great deal Of the ordinary farm
work. An object lesson in this field Of
effort is furnished by an equipment recently
provided by the Westinghouse Company
for the farm of G. R. Beardslee. situated
on both sides OF East Canadian Creek.
near St. townsville, N. Y. There are two
falls on the farm, one Of so feet and the
other of $50 feet in height. The lower
fall is to be first used for furnishing power
for the farm. A powerhouse has been
erected near by and horizontal turbine
with 180-kllowatt (270 horsepower
generator installed. The Pittsburg Dis
patch continues the story as follows:
!" From this central powerhonse the electri-
cal current is now transmitted by conduct
ing wires to the farmhouse, to the barn,
cattle sheds, Greenhouses and other places
where lighting or power is required. At
these several points the direct electrical
current is utilized to drive motors which
operate various machines. One motor, of
ten horsepower, operates hay-cutting
machine, another motor of the same power
runs threshing machine and third motor
operates 44-inch circular saw for cutting
logs. Each of these motors can be used
separately, or all at one time. The farm
house is brilliantly lighted and comfortably
heated by electricity, the result Of utili-
cation Of waterfalls power. Electrically
heated fatirons are in the laundry, and the
kitchen contains cooking stove also heated
by electricity. In the dairy department
are milk separators churns and other appli-
ances, all having electric motor attach
ments. Outside the house several arc
lamps turn night into day. The use Of
arc lights in the barn and outhouses greatly
diminishes the danger OF fire." Besides
having all the electric power he wants for
his own purposes, Mr.. Beardslee sells 60
horsepower to two knitting factories, and
the money received from this source goes
far to defray the running expenses Of the
electrical plant, which is said to have cost
only /" a moderate amount"-it should not
be much more than $5000.-Boston Tran
script.

WIND HELPED RESIDENTS
Tore Down Cottage Street Sign
Board Last Night.

A large billboard owned by O'Meilia the
billposter, at the front of Cottage street.
is in a very dangerous condition and is
likely to fall at any time The board is
an immense structure 1t is fully twenty
feet high.
The board has been the source of many
complaints from the residents of Cottage
streets as 1t shuts off the light from their
homes and spoils the pretty view Of the
surrounding cities and towns. Several
weeks ago after discovering the fact that
board was on private property, and the
city authorities could do nothing toward
abolishing the nuisance, the residents took
it upon themselves to demolish it. Several
the locality after dark and proceeded to
saw the upright joists, which held the
board in place.
Unsuspecting neighbors heard the noise
of the men, who were bent on removing
the boards. A cry of Police was raised
and it frightened them off, The work for
a time was abandoned.
About four o'clock yesterday morning
Policeman Van Reypen, of the Third
precinct station, found the large sign
board hanging over the cut of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. The wind had finished
the work begun by the citizens. The
matter was reported to Police Head
quarters and the P. r. r. officials We're
notified of the danger of the signboard
falling on the tracks.
The signboard was propped up in place
again this morning.

COLORADO TRAIN ROBBED
Agents Say That Nothing Valuable
Was Secured

TRINIDAD, Colo, July II, 1S99.-South-
bound passenger train No. / on the Col
orado and Southern Railway was robbed
by four men at a point five miles south
of Folsom, N. M.
The hoAd-up occurred at 1890 O'Clock last
night at the same point at which the
passenger train was held up last Sep
tember After the train had been brought
to a standstill and the crew had been in
tinidated by guns, the robbers used dyn-
amite with good effect, blowing open the
sides of the express car. Superintendent
Webb and the Wells Fargo Express
agent, Glover, both state positively that
nothing was secured by the robbers.
< Mr.. Webb left for the scene of the hold
up on a special train, accompanied by
officers with horses He is confident he
will be able to overtake the robbers.
There were but few passengers on the
train and they were not molested.
AS soon as the robbers had searched the
express car they mounted horses which
were hitched nearby, and firing few shots
to alarm trainmen and passengers. fed
without any attempt to go through the
mail car Parties here who claim to know
say that Taere was large amount of
money in the express safe as we'll as vail
liable express matter.
