beat them, it is said. to get them
along. until they fell by the roadside.
Wilson broke the tail of one six times
and stabbed her many times with a
knife. besides pounding her back.
She was killed by the authorities.
Wilson plead guilty and was fined

ERNIONT PHOENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, 10, 1901.

The stock market, which has been
marked by soaring figures, particu-
larly in the western railroad stocks,
and by the largest volume of specula-
tion ever recorded, the sales on sew
eral different days aggregating more
than 100000 shares, had another
sensational turn yesterday when "the
shorts were caught mapping on Yves
tern Pacific and were badly squeezed.
Northern Pacific had been marked up
many points each day during the week,
but at one time yesterday it jumped
to $500, $500, $500 and even at one
time to $1,000 per share for cash. La
ter it fell off to $3.50 Another feat
ure of the market was the general
slump in all the leading stocks, the
drop being from 90 to 30 points
There were some sharp rallies, but the
stocks fell at the close far short OF

Judge Cornish of Lewiston, Maine,
has rendered a decision to the effect
that medicine composed of % per cent
or more of alcohol cannot be sold le-
gally in that state. He says: THE
testimony shows that wine is the pre-
dominating element in this compound;
that it contains 90 per cent of alco-
hol that the wine retains its charac-
ter as an intoxicating liquor. capable
of use as an intoxicating beverage,
Notwithstanding other ingredients
have been mixed Herewith. The
compound therefore. falls under the
ban of the law" There are several
proprietary medicines in the market
which are rich in alcohol, some of
them containing a larger proportion
of it than the compound in this case
and hence, if this decision is TO stand,
it is difficult to understand how any
of these medicines can be sent into the
state of Maine, except in defiance of
law and at the risk of the consignee.

HlNSDAIE. N. Il.

There was a hearing Tuesday at the
Office of Lawyer Temple in regard to
the North Hinsdale cemetery case,
certain lot owners having claimed
that L. b. Lamson had caused to be
buried a child in a lot tnat did not
belong to him. Lawyers Haskins of
Brattleboro, Wellington of Keene and
Brigham of Winchester were pres
ent, and judgment was given that
Lamson had not trespassed upon the
lot owners. and the case was settled
by the payment to him of S25, as part
owner of the contested ground, with
costs of court.
The selectmen were instructed at
the recent adjourned town meeting to
consider the matter of lighting the
streets, to confer with Jason r. Hol-
man, the Canal street machinist, in re-
gard to furnishing power for an cleo
trio light plant, and to report at
another meeting early in June. A
representative of the Globe gaslight
company of Boston was present and
made a proposition to the town to fur
nish lights. c. Il. Cramer explained
the advantages of a light in which he
is interested, and which has been on
exhibition in Hinsdale. The Brattle-
boro electric light company also made
an offer to furnish the town with
incandescent lights. 1t appeared tC
be the unanimous opinion that the
town should have electric lights, but
the voters seem to desire the plant tC
be owned and operated by the town
At the school meeting following it was
voted to instruct the board of educa-
ton to place a steam heating plant il
the Upper Bridge street school house
at a cost not to exceed $1,000.

Enlarged Quarters for the Free
MaSonS.

For some months the Masonic fra
ternity of Bellows Falls have felt that
the rooms which they have occupied
in the third story of Union block, since
it was built ABOUT 80 years ago, are
not adequate, owing to the largely in
creased membership and the new or
CARNATIONS of the order. This has
been particularly emphasized since
the formation, nearly two years ago,
of a commandery of Knights Tempar.
The main hall has been much too
small for many gatherings held during
the past year and there are no drill
room facilities. AS stated in THIS
column some weeks ago, two plans
have been under discussion for import
ant changes on the building, each con-
templating the utilizing of the space
now occupied by Union hall. one
proposition made by Mrs. Lizzie S.
King, the present owner of the block,
was to change the building so as to
lease the whole of the third story to
the fraternity, including their present
quarters and the upper part of Union
hall, as Union hall now includes the
second and third stories. The present
floor of Union hall would then be
occupied for Office purposes and the
whole building be heated by steam.
This proposition was rejected by
the Masons, principally on account of
the high rental necessary.
The other proposition, and the one
which at the present time seems prob
able of accomplishment, is for the Ma
sons to vacate their present quarters,
taking instead rooms to be finished for
them on the upper floor of what is
now Union hall and a drill-rOom loca-
ted in the rear half of what is now
Union hall. This proposition has
been accepted by the two Masonic
lodges and the Royal Arch chapter and
needs only the approval of the Com
mandery at its next meeting If this
change is made, it will be an impor-
tant one in many respects to the viii
lage. On the present floor of Union
hall a corridor will be run from its
present entrance to the wall of Towns
hotel. In front of this corridor will
be number of very desirable rooms
upon the larger part of which the New
England Telephone and Telegraph
company has an option. The rear
half, though smaller than the present
hall can be used for social gatherings
or dancing parties, as Mrs. King re-
serves the right to rent it for any
purpose a part of the evenings each
week. The new lodge rooms in the
third story over the Offices and hall
will be mulch larger than those they
now occupy. The rooms vacated by
them can be used by other societies.
The plans call for commodious ante
rooms, closets, regalia rooms, ETC.,

lips with a handsome and beautifully
designed silver loving cup of generous
proportions Mr.. Rust called attention
TO the fact that Theodore Thomas had
already conferred the honor of the baton
upon Mr.. Phillips, and now 1t was his
pleasant task to present this token from
the chorus with whom he had toiled so
| faithfully and successfully. He remarked
that i'm this chorus, Mr.. Phillips had es-
| tdbllSneu a nucleus lot lutult VI btLlll@'t-
ton of a choral society that would be a
| charming feature TO all lovers of music
| i'm Nashville. The speaker remarked that
| the recipient of this elegant favor had
| come to Nashville but few months ago,
| but during that time the people of Nash
| Vile had learned to love him. The pre-
| sentation of the loving cup to Mr.. Phil

the audience. Without exception of a
single feature, the festival has been a
distinguished success.
