THE HARTLAND MYSTERY.
No Clue to the Identity Of the Man
Found in a Dying Condition.

The Hartland mystery is not yet
cleared up. The body OF the I'M
known victim either Of accident or
foul play was buried this week, no
one having established his identity
or giving amy information concern
ing the manner in which he was
MORALLY injured
II. p. Dunn, of White River
Junction, the undertaken who pre-
pared the body for burial, states that
from the general appearance OF the
corpse he is of opinion that the de-
ceased came to his death by being
struck BY locomotive. On the
other hand, one of the section men
working in the vicinity Of the bridge
under which the man was found
Thursday morning is quoted as de-
claring that he was in the same spot
the day before, aud that the injured
man was not there then. 1t is adj
mitted by the physicians and others
that the injuries had been inflicted
at least forty-eight hours before the
victim was discovered.
There is an opinion expressed by
some that the man met with foul
play elsewhere and was brought IN
a boat to the spot where he was
found. There is naturally Il great
deal of talk over the case.

A Weird and Fascinating Spectacle.

of all the novel sights that most
astonish the traveller and tourist in
India, the annual festivals of the
Mohammedans is the greatest and is
almost beyond description. Every
large city has its annual Mohurrum
festival and during It's celebration
the natives work themselves up to
the highest pitch of frenzy as only
half civilized people can do. Mon
ster cars or floats arc built from 30
to 50 feet high, on which are placed
the hideous and fiery eyed idols.
Amounted and decorated in all the
queer colorlngs of the Orient, they
are drawn through the crowded
streets by bullocks surrounded by
the worshipers who are singing,
dancing and jostling each other like
naddened lunatics. 1t is sight
never to be forgotten and str,kingl,
illustrates the fanaticsm of the Far
East. This is simply one OF the
many great moving pictures that will
be presented by the Lyman II. Howe
Moving Picture Company in the
Music Hall On Wednesday, Sept.

The North lIaltland base ball
team little more than made up tor
its defeat here earlier in the season
by downing the locals Saturday--Io
to 3. The visitors played with con-
siderable ginger and in the first two
or three innings gathered in five or
six scores--u lead that couldn't be
overcome. " Jimmy" pitched the
same bail that bothered the local
batsmen before, and while the visit
ors touched up Holbrook for few
safe hits, the errors Of the home
team accounted largely Tor the dis
aster.
An incident in the last half of the
game looked like trouble for a mo-
ment. IIolbrook got ball on the
bound from Walkers bat, Sauntered
over to the base line and waited for
Walker to come along and be put
out. Walker sprinted toward fiji st
at fast clip as if there was no one
within mile of him and plunged
into Holbrook like a battering ram.
The latter, however, gave him the
hip and Walker sailed over first and
landed head first in the field beyond,
near South street.

A BRIGHT OLD AGE.
1t was our happy privilege to be
present at the tooth birthday ami
versary of Mrs. Sarah Blanchard
Chapman of Bethel, in the town hall
on Saturday, Sept. 9th. The hall
was well filled, many coming from
towns. An extensive pro-
gram was arranged and carried out
under the skilful management of
DR.. K. M. Chase.
The GROWING interest was mani.
fest when the venerable lady arose
in all her splendor and addressed the
audience for about ten minutes in an
earnest and torcible manner, thank
ing the people tor their interest in
her behalf, and feeling that she was
not worthy of so much considera-
ton and knowing not why her life
had been spared for so long a period,
etc.
Her address ought to be printed
in full, and presume it will be from
other sources, so we forbear further
notice, except to say that after sing
ing of "Ol! Lang Syne" by Mrs. r.
Nj. Chase and the audience, ice
cream and cake were freely served,
which was all right but the least part
of the rare treat prepared by the citi
zens of Bethel. We wish to add that
Mrs. Chapman is, and has been for
many years in the tender care of Mrs.
