and Served Up Promptly.
President Warren Goodale is making
unusual preparations for thoroughly
enjoyable clambake. He has selected
Spectacle pond for the place. The
members Of the Clinton Business Mems
Association and their friends will as
semble there, on Friday, Aug. rs, for a
thoroughly enjoyable time. There are
Few in the association who wish to
make the clambake family affair. 1t
is likely that the members will decide
to go it alone. They think that a wom-
man does not enjoy a clambake very
much, any way.
That sensational story from Man
chester. N. H., about the marriage and
robbing Of George Wheeler, alleged to
be of this town, still lacks a hero that
nIs. The latest guess is that the Geo.
wheeler referred to may be a farm
hand who was employed by J. Wyman
Jones, on his farm in Bolton, Such a
young man is said to have departed to
place in New Hampshire somewhere
But this Wheeler is said to have been
about % years old while the victim Of
the Manchester bride is said to be only
20 years of age.
A row of poles almost squarely in the
centre Of the tracks of the new Clinton
ana Hudson railway, prevent the open-
ing Of the road between Clinton and
Berlin. Certain thoughtless newspa-
pers nave ascribed the presence of the
poles to the diffidence or negligence of
the Clinton Gas Light Company, The
company's electric wires are strung on
them. Treasurer Walter R. Dame of
the Worcester and Clinton Street Rail
way Company, who is interested in the
Clinton and Hudson, says that the Sc
lectmen of Clinton are to blame. The
poles cannot be moved until the select
men have granted a new layout for
them. Mr., Dame prepared a petition
for the Gas Light Company, asking for
new layout eight feet from the tracks
some time ago. Since there has not
been meeting of the board, which was
attended by a quorum. Just as soon as
the selectmen put the nickel-in-the-sl
the gas company will do its share, and
the trolley company will do the rest,
Mr.. Dame says.
Tonight the old Torrent Hose house
lies nothing but mass Of bricks upon
IT'S foundation. And in few days
these bricks will be reduced to their
original integrity Sixteen men have
been separating brick from brick, and
shaving off the mortar from each. In
another day or two the old house will
be represented by an orderly pile that
will look as If it had just come out of
brick yard. Skaters are at work on
the roof Of the old school house, remov-
ing the slate. 1t will be the end of the
week before the walls are overthrown.
1t will take score of workmen a week
OF Two to clean the brick, so that they
can be used in the new building.
Sehectman H. H. Lowe, who is also
the contractor who is building the new
school house, was not overseeing the
work today. He caught cold BY ex-
posure in the storm of a few days ago,
and this afternoon was suffering with
dysentery. He was still weak from the
effects of collision with a trolley car.
Edward Brick and John Crowley were
fined $40 each in district court this
morning. Unless Brick comes down"
before tomorrow morning he will be
taken over to Fitchburg.
