MACKAY and HERSEY.

His Honor, the Mayor, was very
busy in his Office this morning, with
a look on his face as if he had the
cares of a whole world on his should
ers, when James MacKay, president
of the board of aldermen, walked in
presumably for social call.
But this was not so as his opening
words proved;
"Mr Mayor, ] would like to call
your attention to your statement
in last nights paper, where you say
that myself and City Clerk Wells
were notified by you that you were
going away and would not return for
three weeks"
"Really Mr.. MacKay my brain is so
bad this morning that | cannot think
of what you mean"
81 mean did you notify me and
Wells that you were going away?
You understand what | mean and if
you made mistake say SO and that
will end it,"
"Really, l cannot say l made a
mistake, but don't think l saw you
before going away
"Well, then who did you tell?"
81 saw Alderman Mann and told
him that l would be gone for three
weeks and for him to look after
things.'
Alderman MacKay looked as if he
had been hit with something tlabby,
his astonishment being so apparent,
and turned to leave the Office when
who should walk in but the aforesaid
Alderman Mann, who had business
with the mayor. Mr.. MacKay inn
mediately propounded the questions:
"Mr. Mann, did Mr.. Hersey tell you
that he was going away for three
weeks and for you to look after things
while he was away"
"No sir, and if he says he did he's
liar"

Isabel Of Concord, N. H., who was ar
rested at White River Junction on
Aug. 3Oth. by Officer Grafton and who
has been confined In the county Jail
ever since, was released yester-
day.
Mr.. Isabel was accused of falsely
representing Miss Ethel E. Campbell,
a nurse of this city, and securing at
the Burlington Savings bank the sum
of 5000 rightfully belonging to Miss
Campbell.
This was in completely with Mrs.
Bagley, who, it will be remembered
was arrested few days previous upon
the same and other charges. The
warrant for his arrest was signed by
Judge Hawkins Of the city court, and
this morning Mr.. Isabel was discharg-
ed, information being filed in the
city court by the States attorney
that he was unable to find evidence Of
any false impersonation against Mr..
Isabel. The case if heard, would
have come up before the grand jury,
which is now in session.
A communication received by Hen.
ry Ballard from Concord, signed by
prominent city court and town officers
might have had some bearing upon
the findings. The communication is
signed by the mayor of Concord, by
the secretary of the state of New
Hampshire, by the labor commission.
er, adjutant general, city clerk, Judge
of probate, lawyers, clergymen, and
druggists Of Concord. 1t reads as fol.
lows:
We, the undersigned, have been &C
quainted with Medor M. Isabel for
many years. He has always lived in
Concord, N. H., and has borne good
reputation; has always been industri.
Gus and paid his bills, and we feel
there must be some mistake with ref
! erence to his connection with the lar
ceny of the bank book, as stated In
the daily press. We trust that some
satisfactory arrangement can be made
whereby he can be released from his
present trouble.
