New Communion for Capt. Moran.

A Washington despatch last night an
nounced the appointment of Capt. John
E. Moran of company A, First Montana
regiment, as a captain in the 37th regi-
ment, United States volunteers, one of the
new provisional regiments. The appoint
ment comes as a surprise to his Brattle-
bOro friends who had expected that he
would return with his regiment and who
had hoped to see him in Brattleboro in a
few weeks. Capt. Moran has been acting
major for several months.
He was born in Vernon Aug. 23, 1856.
When six years old he came with his
parents to Brattleboro, where he gradu-
ated from the High school in 1874. In
that year he went to Chicago to work in a
boot and shoe store for his two uncles.
He afterward went into a partnership in
Minneapolis with his uncles in the same
business, under the firm name of Brosna-
han Brothers & Moran. For eight or nine
years before the outbreak of war with
Spain he had lived at Great Falls, Mont,
conducting a shoe business part of the
time. He had been deputy sheriff for sew
eral years. He has always been interested
in military matters, and when in Mime
apolis he was a member of the state imili-
tia.
Capt. Moran is a son of Mrs. Norah
Moran and a brother of Miss Mary T.
Moran and Mrs. John I, Kaine of Brattle-
boro. His father, William Moran, died in
Brattleboro March "a, 1898.

Death OF Thomas p. Badet.

Thomas p. Badet, 81, died at the home
of his son on Williston street early Mon

life there until about two years ago when,
on account of failing health, he came to
Brattleboro to make his home with his

was engaged in the coal and lumber bust
ness in New London. He was married so
years ago last October to Harriet A. Lewis,
who survives him. His son, Charles p.

mont railroad. Brief services were held at

Highway Robbery Attempted.

Highway robbery was attempted on the
road from Fred Waite's to Dummerston
last Saturday night. AS Fred Wilder
who formerly worked in Brattleboro, was
returning from Waite's to Dummerston a
man suddenly appeared and demanded his
money. Wilder easily got away, but he
had not gone far when two men stepped
into the road, one of whom took hold of
the horses bit and the other took hold of
one of the wheels. They demanded Mr.
Wilder's money, but Mr.. Wilder whipped
the horse and got away, running over one
of the men. While Deputy Sheriff Adm
F. Miller was on the way to Newfane Jail
Monday with Jerry Downs, who is charged
with horse stealing, as told elsewhere in
this paper, Downs told the officer that he
had friends near Dummerston, and it is
possible that they we're the ones who at
tempted the robbery.

Brattleboro young man Of sporting procvi-
Ties, who recently attended the running races
near New York city, tells story of how he pre-
vented casual acquaintance from winning Si5-
wv Inc acquaintance had quaffed freely from
sne moving bowl and when he met the Brattle-
boro man he thrust $3.50 IA to his hands with re
quest that he bet it on a horse marked 700 10 on
the oookmakers' states. The Brattleboro man
tried 10 reason with his acquaintance but the
iater insisted that the horse IN QUESTION was a
GOOD mud horse" and was likely TO win on the
heayy track. The Brattleboro man bet part OF
tue SloO on the good mud horse" for a place,
ana won VIZ for his acquaintance; but Kept
large part OF the $3.50, thinking hi acquaintance
would thank him IN a more sober mood for saving
mis- money. The mud horse won, and the $3.50
would have brought $4,000 If bet according to
the Judgment OF the man with an added brain.

santanelm's Hypnotic Performances.

Brookside Park has been the scene of
much laughter, much surprise and of some
scepticism this week on account of the
wonders wrought by Santaneli, 5he hyp-
nostist, who has given exhibitions there
every evening, beginning Monday. The
power of this slender, long haired person
age over his subjects is really marvellous,
and the antics which he caused them TO go
through when in hypnosis form an even
ing's entertainment worth seeing. Amy
one who will watch carefully the move
ments and facial expressions of the subjects
will come TO the conclusion that there Is
more in the art of hypnotism that he had
before supposed.
The exhibition consists of series of
acts executed by the persons in the state of
hypnosis. The various actions and posi-
tions taken by the actors are suggested to
them by the operator. This suggestion he
claims TO be able to do by means of a
natural law which is known to him but
unknown TO the greater part of the world.
Santanelli has five subjects, or Hypnotic
horses" as he calls them, who travel with
him and upon whom he operates when he
can get no one else. These men appear to
go into hypnosis very easily and will do
almost anything when in this state. Sew
eral local people have been operated upon,
and some of them have succeeded in being
induced into the desired state. The ma
jority, however, has felt little or no effect
from the efforts of the hypnotist. The
reason for this, according to Santanellrs
argument, is because most people will net
give themselves up to him, for he claims
no power over any one who will not
completely surrender himself. The atten-
dance has been very large throughout the
week. The last two performances will be
given tonight and tomorrow evening.
Santanelli gave private exhibition be-
fore members of the Wheel club and also
one before the guests at the Brooks House.
