The Brandon Union considers the fol-
lowing of editorial importance. The
Armenians were at East Middlebury and
in this village. "There are two female
tramps, or peddlers, claiming to be
.Armenians, about the streets of Brandon
and forcing their way into every house
where, by any means, they can gain adj
mission. When once inside they try to
bulldoze the lady of the house into buy.
Ing their dirty wares by calling down all
manner of i'll luck upon her house if she
refuses. These people should be denied
admission to every house as they are GER
tainly a menace to the public health.
The only way to be sure of your own
house after such a call is to thoroughly
disinfect it. Monday night they occu-
pied the tramp room at the police station
and this is necessarily not the cleanest

GEORGE M. FLETCHER DEAD,

WAs One of Middlebury's Prominent
II Young Business Men-IIis Life.
I George Murray Fletcher, eldest son<of
Col. and Mrs. Albert A. Fletcher of Mid
dlebury, died of consumption on Sunday
morning, Feb D, at Saranac Lake, n. Y.
He was born at the Fletcher homestead
in Rridport Oct. %, 1850. and was edu-
Gated at the Pennsylvania military acad-
envy, Chester, Pa, from which he gradu-
ated in 1879 with the degree of C. E.
Soon after completing his studies he
entered the employ of the National bank
of Middlebury, of which his father is
president. May 10, 1892, he was elected
teller and served in that capacity till
Jan. 8. 1891. He was also director of
the bank from January, 1889, till Janu-
airy, 1895. In the fall of 1893 he had
severe illness with pneumonia. which re-
suited in so serious an impairment of
health as to necesstate a change of sur
roundings. He removed to Clarendon
Springs and engaged in farming for a
year; in 1893 he took charge of the sum
mer hotel there and managed it success
fully for two seasons. About year ago
|
give up work and from then on till the
end came he had slowly but steadily
failed. Last summer he passed in the
AdirOndacks, coming back to Middlebury
in the fall. Even while growing daily
weaker his courage never for a moment
failed, and so late as the 23d of January,
when he went into the Adirondacks for a
second time, he firmly believed that he
would recover. Mr.. Fletcher married.
Oct. s, 1885, Miss Belle Murray of Clar-
endon Springs, who, with one sister,
Miss Anna NJ, and three brothers, Paris
of st. Paul, MIMI. John A. of Middle
bury and Harry Ii. of Lincoln, Mont,
survive him.
The early and seemingly untimely
death of Mr.. Fletcher will be widely and
sincerely mourned. His character and
conduct were such as to make all with
whom he came in contact his friends and
to ensure for him, had he lived. useful
and worthy career. He was persistent,
painstaking and efficient worker in what
ever field he entered, careful and conscI-
entious In every act and always gentle
man in the best sense of that term.
The funeral was attended from the
home of his parents at o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon, and the very large num-
Der present in spite of the worst storm
of the season bore sufficient testimony,
were any needed, to the esteem in which
the deceased was held. Rev. Albert w.
Dickens, pastor of the Congregational
church, conducted. a brief but impressive
service. Frank A. Bond had charge and
Prof. Walter E. Howard, DR.. L. E.
Mellen and Charles M. Remele of Mid
dlebury and Charles A. Chapman of Fer
risburg were the bearers. The interment
was In the West cemetery.

Death of Mrs. Julius a. Beckwith.
The announcement of the death at an
early hour yesterday morning Of Mrs.
julius A. Beckwlth was received with
much sorrow and regret by all who knew
her-and no woman In the village was
better known. Mrs. Beckwth had been
In poor health since last fall, but she was
able to be up much of the time, and
no fears of her immediate death were
held by her many friends. The end came
suddenly at about 4 o'clock yesterday
morning at the residence of S. b. Beck
with. Arrangements have been made to
hold the funeral at 3 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, Rev. Mr.. Dickens to oflciate.
Mrs. Beckwith has been so closely and
prominently connected with the social
life of the village and her long and use
full years so full of all that has gone for
the best interests of the church and
home, that we cannot at this hour do
justice to her, and we therefore defer
to later issue a fitting obituary notice.

Macon. Ga, Dec. 1.-THE trial Of Allen
Fuller for the murder Of Mrs. Eugenia
Pottle is progressing rapidly. The state
has proven that Fuller was with Mrs
Pottle the last time she was seen alive,
that her hand satchel was found in Full
lers house after the murder; that her gold
loclet and chain were in Fuflers possess
sion, and that Fuller made incrAminatlng
statements to other negroes.
The defense, however, meets these points
by setting up that il was possible for
Fuller to have left Mrs. Pott.e when he
and she reached his home on the night Of
her disappearance; and that the satehel
might have been placed In his house by
some other person, as the house was rare
~ ever locked. They viii also contend that
The scars on the dead woman's head could
have b en- caused by rocks in the bottom
OF the river.
Fuller recently confessed the crime, but

against him. struck he deadly blows, be-
cause MIS- Pottle had refused or failed 10
