No More Fighting.
MataaGa Agrees to Await the Arrival
OF Commissioners at Samoa.


Apia advices under April 81 state the
loss of rebels by the Smelling of Mailima
by the British and American warships was
very heavy. Stevenson's house was rid
died. Gaunts brigade had sharp Skin
mish on the 22d near Mailima. Gaunt's
men are great fighters and astonished the
rebels by withstanding a continuous fire.
In view of the request of the interna-
tional commissioners that the inhabitants
peacefully await their arrival, the meeting
of the three consuls was held without re :
suit, as the German consul dissented from
the propositions of the other two. Mataafa
first refused to obey the order of Kautz to
withdraw his troops, but at the sight of
preparation to force him to obey, he de-
cided to do so. The majority of the in
habitants are dissatisfied with the cessa-
tion of hostilities and say week will end
all troubles if the advantage is pushed, as
Mataafa is beaten now.
A cablegram has been received in Wash
ington from Kautz, dated April ~. All is
quiet at Apia. Maatafa agrees to keep
outside the lines prescribed. There will
be no more fighting until the commission
arrives.

More Delay i'm Building the Electric
Road,
Electric railroad matters still continue
subject for comment and speculation, 1t
must be admitted that as the weeks pass
without apparent advance being made by
the company, distrust as to the final out
come increases, although nine out of ten
citizens want much to see it built. The
bills for the ties and poles purchased came
due March l and April 1 and were not
paid promptly.
The bill for the poles has been paid
within few days. If the road is not put
through these can be moved elsewhere, as
well as the ties.
Mr.. Holton went to Burlington last
week Thursday with definite propositions
from abutters in his pocket, and these
propositions the writer feels were small
enough, as far as damage is concerned, so
that nine-tenths of the citizens would feel
they in no sense should stand in the way
of the immediate filing of the agreement
and bond by the railroad and the begin
ming of work. 1t was understood from
Mr. Holton when he went that the propo-
sition from one party was fully satisfacto-
ry to him, the other he did not admit. He
was to confer with his colleagues and re-
turn to Bellows Falls Sunday night, but
has not been here this week. The select
men are ready to lay out the grade as soon
as the agreement and bond is filed.

Plans for Rebuilding Towns Hotel


The adjustment of the insurance upon
Towns Hotel was consummated at a sat
isfactory figure Monday, and arrangements
are going rapidly forward for the imme-
date rebuilding of the structure. Work
will be begun within a few days. The
building will be rebuilt substantially as it
was originally, but will be materially i'm
proved in many respects. The result of
the fire will be much-improved and more
modern hotel, in which all residents can
take pride, Mrs. Towns will retain the
ownership and control, but it is as yet I'M
certain who will take the lease when COM
pleted. Attorney G. II, Robb has charge
of the details in connection with the re-
building, acting for Mrs. Towns. The
building will not be increased story in
heighth, as has been hoped might be done,
thus giving room for more stores on the
FIRST floor.

The log drive of the International
company has been successfully run down
the White river and is now in the boom at
Sharon waiting until the water in the Con-
necticut goes down TO safe point. Thus
far they have been unusually successful.
Good progress is also being made with the
drive from the Wild Amanoosuc, each one
slightly larger than last season. The large
drive owned by the Connecticut Valley
Manufacturing company containing about
$4,000, 600 feet broke away last Friday in
the upper waters of the Connecticut. A
strong boom and large ropes were strung
across the river just above Wells River and
they have been successful in holding them
thus far at that point, although the water
is very high. A large part of the drive is
accommodating in that boom, but thousands
of them are scattered on the meadows in
such a way as to be expensive to get them
back into the river as the water recedes. A
new corporation owns them this year from
that of former years. but the Van DYKES
are still in the control. 1t is possible this
drive will pass here this year before the
local drives are brought in.

w. S. Durham, much to the surprise of
his many friends, retired from an owner
ship in the city market last Monday. He
sold his interest to an employe, who has
been in the market for the last six years,
d. NJ. Meany. The present firm is Girls
void q Meany, Mr.. Griswold having been
in company with Mr.. Durham during the
last year. Mr.. Dunhsm's plans for the
future are not yet clearly defined, nor is it
known whether he will return to Towns
hotel when that is ready for occupancy
again.
During the heavy rain storm Monday
afternoon the sewer leading from Burt
place became clogged and the water set
back into the houses and easements of a
number of residents. AS there is a brook
entering the upper end of this branch of
the sewer system, and the brook was swol-
len, the "freshet" in that locality threaten
ed serious results for a time. The resi-
dences sustaining the largest damages were
those of o. H. Whitman, 2. H. Allbee,
Ned Pierce, and F. H. Thompson. The
street was somewhat washed, and the nee
essity of opening up the line of the sewer
since then has rendered the street impass-
able for teams since Monday.

The steamer was last week Saturday
taken out and thoroughly tested by the
fire wardens and the engine company. 1t
worked to perfection in every respect
showing that on the night of the fire in
Towns hotel it either was not rightly
handled, or the fuel was not what it should
have been. In past years it has worked
readily with any kind of fuel used, and
has been reliable in every way.
There has been considerable interest the
past week over the hope that Capt. Clark
of the Oregon would pass through Bellows
Falls and a movement was made to ascer-
tain if he could not be induced to accept a
short reception by our citizens, The re-
suit of all the talk was that when he was
asked regarding his route homeward it
was found he was going to give us the cold
shoulder. He went via White River juno
ton to Boston from Bradford.
