under the laurel bower by Rev. II. X.
Miles, pastor Of the Congregational church,
who used the Episcopal ring service. Only

march from LohengTin was played by Miss

formed through the parlor to the bower by
Glenham and Alice Jones and Charles and
Sibyl StetsoD, cousins of the bride, who
held long white ribbons.
Through the isle thus formed came the
minister, followed by the bridegroom and
the hest man, Edward Adams of Boston.
The bYidemaid, Miss Amy S. Jones, sister
of the bride, came next, followed by the
bride and her father. Miss Gillian played

The Nine Nelson's.

There are times when ones power of
description fails. There are occasions
when mere words seem weak and puny in
comparison with the subject about which
they are engaged. This is a case in point.
Who is the man with a command of elo-
quence equal to the task of doing Justice
to the unapproachable, the matchless, the
all surprising Nelson family?
Their work is indescrbable. To convey
to the laymen even 1.-THE of its manifold
points of superiority and excellence. They
are the acrobats of the age, descended
from acrobats through generations of an
cestors, who were each in turn kings and
queens in their day. They have by pro-
cess of evolution and hereditary attained a
physique which is acrobatique in every
pore, and renders it possible for them to
perform with ease feats that other artists
can only cortemplate-dream of-but
never hope to attain. The Nelson's are
under contract to the great Wallace Shows
and appear only with this mammoth or
ganization. The salary paid them is stu
pendous-almost past belief. They re-
ceive $3.50 for every week of SER
vice. This is due to the fact that Mr..
Wallace wished to control them exclusive
ly. The Wallace Shows exhibit at Brattle-
boro on Monday, June A. Big as the inn
mense tents are, their tremendous capacity
will be tested to their utmost limits.

FIRE AT sPOFFORD LAKE.
Cottages Owned BY Cobb Il Amidon of
BrattIebOro and Warren Wheeler of
Boston Destroyed Saturday Evening.

Two cottages at Spofford lake, Chester
field, on the Silverdale side of the lake.
were destroyed with their contents by ire
Saturday evening, and a third cottage was
badly damaged. The FIRE broke out be-
tween and O'Clock in the cottage own
ed by Warren Wheeler of Boston, which
is situated nearest to Silverdale. 1t was
noticed simultaneously by people at Silver
dale and by people on the opposite side OF
the lake. The alarm was spread along
both sides of the lake and at the same
time a message was sent by telephone 30
Brattleboro.
The people at the lake formed in line
from the cottages to the lake, and pals Of
water were passed along the line from The
lake to the FIRE, but the fire had gained
such Roadway that it was impossible 20
save either the first or the second cottage.
and it was only by hard work that the
third was saved from total destruction.
For a while it appeared as if the entire
Tow of cottages would be destroyed. Sever
al Brattleboro people started for the scene
as soon as possible after the despatch was
received, but they were of little service 50
great was the distance.
Mr.. Wheeler and his father from West
moreland had been in the Wheeler cottage
practically all day preparing it for occupan-
oy,as 1t had been rented for the season. They
state, however, that there had been nc
smoking in the cottage and no fire, they
having had a cold dinner. The cottage
was insured for 5000. The second cottage
was owned by Charles L. Cobb and Je-
rome Amidon of Brattleboro and was
built about nine years ago. The cottage
and contents were insured for $500. The
third cottage is owned by Henry Fletche.
Of Kesne, n. H., and is insured The to-
tai loss is about $500.
The barn owned by Cobb Il Amidon
was not damaged, but the trees surround
ing the cottages were badly burned, and
whether the cottages are rebuilt depends
upon whether those trees live. A Spoffort
correspondent of the Keene Sentinel wrote
to that paper as follows: "There had been
brush fires near the cottage in the after.
noon, but the real cause of the 6re is I'M
known, it having broken out from the in
side. This makes five fires around the
lake within years time"

afternoon before JNstice T. j. B. Cud-
worth and jury consisting of G. w. PAT
fer, G. F. Reed, A. j. Carrier, John
Wright and Sewall Morse. The $40 was

him. The witnesses for the plaintiff were
II. G. Barber, A. @. Spencer and Martin
Bailey, and those for the defence Luther
Dustin, W. B. Eddy and Edgar Davenport.
The lawyers were G. G. Fits for the plant
iff and Waterman & Martin for the defend
ant. After celebrating about one hour

PENDANT to recover costs.

An Unfounded Rumor.

1t was reported Friday night that Miss
Mary Ayers, who disappeared from her
home in Brattleboro last winter, had writ
ten to her parents that she would return
to her home in a few days. Another re-
port, started Monday, said that her trunk
had arrived, and later it was even said that
several persons had told of seeing Miss
Ayers in one of the stores on Main street.
This reports spread rapidly, and by Tues
day morning they were among the prin-
clpal topics of conversation. There was
absolutely no foundation in fact to any of
the rumors. No tidings whatever have
been received from Miss Ayers since she
left home. The reports had the effect of
cruelty affecting the missing girls parents,
Mrs. Ayers being nearly Frustrated by the
memories thus awakened. Miss Shea, an
aunt of Miss Ayers, who came to Brattle-
boro from California several weeks ago
with the hope of inducing Mr.. and Mrs.
Ayers to return with her, has decided to
return alone next week, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ayers remaining in Brattleboro.
