Short Crop of Apples and cucumbers.

Because of the short crop of apples and
the consequent high cost of making cider
jelly, the Brattleboro jelly company has
made no jelly the past season. The
market for pure cider vinegar is much
more limited than formerly on account
of cheap substitutions, so that the con-
ditions do not warrant the company in
making vinegar The company have
limited themselves the past season -
making cucumber pickles. and as this
crop is also very short they have packed
only 400 hundred barrels, while they
have a capacity for 5000 barrels Their
entire product has been sold and will be
shipped within 30 days. After that the
factory will be closed. so far as the COM
pany is concerned. until next season. Mr.
Blair, the manager, will remain for the
present to handle some goods on his own
account. A syndicate of u American
companies has bought the surplus crop If
cucumbers In Germany, Holland and
England and will ship il to this country
TO make up for the deficiency here. M
Blair has bought sample lot of these
cucumbers, and will order more If salts

Mr.. Blair will also handle the entire out
put of cucumber pickles by the Clyde
Kraut company of Clyde. Ohio. Harry
Kimball of Brattleboro who went to Clyde
in August to superntend the packing Of
these cucumbers, writes that the company

VERDICT For $4,000.
Great Western Mining and Manufac-
turing Company May Recover That
Amount From B. D. Harris Estate.

Judge II. II. Wheeler has rendered
his decision in the case of the Great
Western Mining and Manufacturing
company. l.. c. Black receiver, VS.. the
b. d. Harris estate, c. A. Harris ct
ais. executors, in which he holds that
the plaintiff is entitled to recover
$4,000 from the estate. The claim OF
the plaintiff was that the estate was
liable in the sum of $4,000. Either
side has a right to appeal to the cir
cult court of appeals in New York,
and six months is allowed in which
to make such appeal. Whether this
will be done is not now known.
The entire stock of the company was
owned in 1888 by seven men, b. ID.
Harris and his brother. the late Cords
Harris of Keene, owning three-ffths.
The company issued $4,000 worth of
stock in 1883. In 1889 certain bond
brokers proposed to sell 100000
worth of the companys bonds. pro-
vded that $4,000 of stock was fur
nished to go with the bonds. The
stockholders voted to furnish this
amount pro rata at so cents on the dol
lar, and voted TO issue 100000 of new
stock for that purpose.
and the 100000 of stock issued in
1889 went with the bonds. making the
$3.50, 900 of stock required by the bond
brokers. b. D. Harris furnished $4,000
worth. and received therefor 1880,
81 800 for the first issue and $4,000
for the last issue. The court holds
the estate liable for the $4,000 re-
ceived on the last issue, but not for
the amount received the year before,
as the bond issue was not contem-
plated at that time. AS the company
practically was insolvent at the time
OF the bond issue the court holds that
the money received for the new issue
belonged to the company for the pay
ment of its debts
In his written opinion Judge
Wheeler says: The stockholders re-
ceiving the money took it with the
risk of its being required to make the
bonds good. 1t is so required and the
plaintiff as receiver represents the
rights of the bondholders as creditors
in respect to it,"

Three Factors.

In his address at Andover Theologi-
cal Seminary last week, President c.
o. Day, who spoke on the requisites Of
success in the ministry said in clos
ing:
Three factors at least are essen
tial: a gospel to preach, knowledge
of human nature, and a personality
mastered and communicable. The
first brings authority and confidence.
The second includes knowledge of
type, analysis of psychological and
moral laws, comprehension of social
psychology and movements. The last
means self-mastery, thought mastery,
art mastery, and reaches as its climax
the meditorial conception of the minis
try. By force of these factors the pull
pit of the past has stood. BY them
that of today must be vlndicated. An
over Seminary, true to her traditions,
must stand or fall by none Others"
