Samuel Dunn of Montreal, bass. The
program showed good judgment in its

Prof. Cramer's work do not need to be
told that it was fully up to his usual
standard. that it pleased the audience
and was fully appreciated by them.
In response to a generous encore Prof.
Cramer rendered one of his own COM
positions. Mrs. Johnson rendered two
selections which gave her good OPP
portunity to display the sweet and
sympathetic qualities of her voice. Mr..
Dunn is a singer of ability. His voice
has a richness which is rare, and this
wifi his excellent Judgment made his
numbers among the most enjoyable
on the program.

J. r. Rand Was the Man.

A difficult feat at the Northampton
& Amherst power houses was perform
ed Saturday evening by Brattleboro
machinist The immense axle that
runs the dynamo had been bent about
three-eighths OF an inch and the ques-
ton was how to get this back into
shape without taking out the rod. The
axle weighs over two tons and is six
inches in diameter. The expert ma
ehfnists of the city declared that the
job could not be done and several Of
them were at the power house Satur-
day night TO see the Brattleboro man
make a "hzzle" of his attempt. With
blast furnaces he heated the rod to a
certain temperature and then with
hammers and a straight edge he
pounded the immense rod back into
position and today the machinery is
running as smoothly as when 1t was
first put in. The Brattleboro man
completely non-plussed the local ma
chinists. They admit, however, that
he knows what he is about North
ampton Herald.

LARGER BUSINESS PROSPECT.
A. L. Blair Will Handle Cucumber
Pickle Output Of Two Large Houses
Harry KTmbaII VIII Supervise

Packing.
A. L. Blair, manager of the Brattle-
boro Jelly company. has made ar
rangements this week which will ma
teriaTIy enlarge his field OF opera
ton. For several years the supply of
small cucumbers for pickles which
has been taken to the factory has
been far short Of the capacity of the
plant and of the actual need Of the
company, and as a result Mr.. Blair
has had considerable time each year
which he could have employed TO good
advantage had the opportunity been
open to him. AT a recent meeting the
company voted to give Mr.. Blair the
privilege of doing such outside bust
ness as he might see fit and he imme-
diately made a proposition to the
Clyde Kraut company of Clyde, Ohio,
to bundle all their output Of cucumber
pickles for a commission and on Mon
day of this week he received from
the company a telegram accepting his
proposition.
The Kraut company sailed last
year 10000 bushels of cucumbers,
which was several times the amount
sailed by the Brattfeboro company,
and the acreage this year is still larg-
er. The company also packed last
year 10000 barrels of saUerkraut and
has facilities for packing 400 barrels
a day. The Bf'attleboro company has
built up a reputation on its exclusive
method of packing, which gives its
pickles a flavor which cannot be OBJ
tanned in any other way. and Mr..
Blair will have the Kraut company's
pickles packed in the same way and
sent out under a similar label so that.
the business of each company Will
help that of the other Harry Kim
ball of Washington street, who has
had charge Of the packing for the
Brattleboro Jelly company the past
two years, has been engaged by che
Kraut company for a year at a good
salary to- have the general oversight
Of their packing for Mr.. Blair. Mr.,
Kimball started for Ohio yesterday.
Mr.. Bsair has also made contract
with a concern in Cdnastota, N. r.. to
handle their goods in New England
with the exception of Boston. but the
goods will be packed as at present
and will be sold under the present
label. The Canastota company should
pack 10000 bushels of pickles this
year. 80 that Mr.. Blair probably will
have some 10000 bushels to handle in
addition TO those packed in Brattle-
boro.
The Brattleboro Jelly company
sailed last year 400 barrels and coulG
have handled three or four times that
amount. The outlook is for good
crop this year. but the acreage is
small. The first sucumbers taken at
the factory this year were received
last Friday.

Tie-Up on BrattIeboro and Whitehall
Railroad.

The fire at South Londonderry Sun
day morning, which burned the Brat
tIeboro & Whitehall engine house and
disabled a locomotive, left the road
in a bad condition with its drawing
power. There are but three locomo-
tives on the road and one of them was
already in the repair shop at st. AL
bans so that after the fire there re-
manned but one locomotive to do the
entire business, both freight and pas
seuger. After the arrival OF the pas
senger train in Brattieboro Monday
the locomotive went back with a
freight train. On the return trip in
the afternoon the train met with an
accident north of Jamaica whereby
one car was derailed and part OF the
locomotive was broken, bringing all
traffic to a standstill. It was after
dark when the train arrived in Brat
tleboro and it was after o'clock
when the locomotive WAS ready to
start for South Londonderry. with the
passengers who had waited since 5.45.
The train has been two hours or more
late every night this week. The loco
motive which has been in the repair
shop is ready for use as soon as a
missing part is found. This part was
sent to Brattleboro on broad guage
locomotive, but was carried by. The
locomotive which went through the
fire was lacked up Tuesday and haul
ed to Brattleboro to be loaded on a
freight car and shipped to st. Adams.
