LunatIc Not Identified.

There is no definite clue to the identity
of the lunatic who was arrested and placed
in the Bratteboro Retreat last week
Superintendent Lawton had long inter
view with the man the first of this week,
but his statements were unsatisfactory.
He said his father was dead and that his
mother had married again and was living
in Manchester, Y. II. So far as he could
remember he had never before been in any
kind of an institution, unless it was for a
few days near Boston. He is an insane
degenerate, according TO the belief of those
who have seen him, but there is reason to
believe that he knows more than he is
willing to tell.

age, tall and has a scar upon one cheek.

near Greenfield. The Northampton officers

Ne,er OverIook Rrntt1ehoro.

When in search of novelty never over
look Brattleboro. From political resolu-
tons to the milder insanity that is re-
strained in the asylum, the old town is
ever resourceful. Is there battle in Peru,
a Brattleboro boy is wounded in it. A
new north pole discovered, Brattleboro
man is there cutting ice. Does a side
judge die in Arizona, he was born in Brat
tleboro. Does the oldest Mason in the
United States take his final degree, he re-

the latest. Brattleboro is talking of cele-
brating the Fourth of July and actually
has a trust fund of $40 left over from the
1891 subscription for fireworks. 1t has
been drawing interest in the bank ever
since. Think of town celebrating the
Declaration of Filipendence and having
money left = st. Adams Messenger.

Frank II. Allen to Go to Atlanta.

News was received last evening that
Frank r. Allen, son of l. K. Allen of this
village, has resigned his position as secre-
tary of the Paterson, N. j., Safe Deposit
and Trust company to accept the position
of vice president and general manager of
the Trust company of Atlanta, Ga. Mr..
Allen has been secretary of the Paterson
company ever since it was formed 10 years
ago. Before that he was paying teller of
the Paterson National bank and had held
a clerkship in the Paterson savings bank.
He has, therefore, become intimately iden-
titled with the banking interests of Pater-
son. The News of that city says that be-
sides his ability as bank official he "has
made his business connections for the
Trust company agreeable to its customers
and very creditable to the institution it.
self. This city will miss Mr.. Allen in
many way. Socially he has added to the
pleasure of life among us, and in every
movement for the good of the town and its
charities, for the betterment of the city
and its daily progress, he has been in the
front rank of the men who have worked
Understandings to make Paterson city
of prosperous homes"
The Atlanta concern to which Mr.. AL
len now goes has recently increased its
capital stock from $250,0OO to $500, 600.
The change means to him a largely in
creased salary and wider field for the ex-
ercise of his business ability.

caugh, Lake Trou. weighing ~ Pound.

The Boston Sunday Herald had an in
teresting story from Kineo on Moosehead
lake describing the capture of a 81. pound
lake trout by F. W. Gray and E. r. lis
dale of Leomister, Mass. Mr.. Tisdale is
the husband of Florence Tenney, former
Brattleboro girl, and he has many friends
here. Mr.. Tisdale was padding Mr.. GRAY
while he fished in close proximity of the
camp. The hardest kind of fight follow
ed the hooking of the monster and the
fisherman at once realized that he had a
big fish. After an hours hard fight the
fish was brought alongside the canoe, and
Mr.. Tisdale, with net in hand, was ready
to dip the fish, but one glance was suffi-
cient to show him that the net which he
held, and large one, as landing nets go,
was not in the same class with the fish on
the line. AS a result the fish was PLAYED
until he was thoroughly worn out, and
then an attempt was made to get hold of
his gills and lift him into the boat. This
was tried six or eight times before it was
accomplished. On the last trial Mr.. Tis-
dale got finger in the gills of the fish and
rolled him-being too heavy to lift-into
the canoe. Then Mr.. Tisdale fell on the
fish's head, and Mr.. Gray on his tail, and
Mr.. Porter, a member of the party who
had come out to assist, padded che fisher
men and their prize to the shore, where
they ''clubbed him to death" The record
breaking togue was weighed at the Ross
farm six hours afterward, and his weight
was precisely 81 pounds. The fish was
caught on spinner, with fresh water
smelt for bait. Mr.. Gray used an eight
ounce rod made by himself, 100 yards of
silk line and a reel.
