VERMONT FORGER CAUGHT.
Walter H. Bailey of Peacham Ar
rested in Cuba.

st. Johnsbury, May 16.-A telegram
received from Frank d. Hall at Ha-
yana yesterday, announced that Wal
ter II. Bailey of Peacham was at that
place and under arrest. When Bailey
fled to New York TWO 5go he
made no secret of his plans to go to
Cuba and it is now known that he
sailed last Thursday. Since his depar-
ture from Vermont more forged en-
dorsementS on his notes have turned
up and the total amount must be
over $4,000.
His brother-in-law, Col. B. NJ. Har-
vey Of the North American Review
and Harper publications, has his name
forged on notes amounting to $1,000,
and Bailey also forged the name Of
Charles j. Bell of Walden, besides
about half dozen other well-tO-do
Peacham people. These notes are all
held in Peacham and it now turns out
that Bailey had made practice in
the past dozen years of raising money
in this way and when found out had
made some sort of settlement.

At LAST.
The Granite Manufacturers Associa-
Signs Bill for Three Years.

Last night at the adjourned meet.
ing OF the G. M. A., the delegates to
the New England Association, Messrs.
James Mackay and A. Z. Bruce made
their reports.
After considerable discussion these
reports were adopted and on motion
unanimously accepted, the secretary
was instructed to sign the bill for
three years.
This means that Barre may go
ahead and do business for that length
of time and perhaps longer, but it
does not look SO with Quincy and
West Quincy as Secretary Duncan of
the G.. M. A., has informed these two
branches that their charter will be
taken away from them for signing
bill SO much lower than the Barre
settlement.
What will Quincy do?
Thanks are due to the sensible men
of the G.. M. A. and G. G. N. l.. for
their settlement in Barre and they
will surely reap their own reward by
getting all the work that the other
places cannot handle on account of a
strike.
The polishers have not come to any
settlement as yet.
Individual firms have offered to
give an increace Of Is cents per day
after June 1st, whether they work 8,
9, or 10 hours.
