A YANKEE LIEUTENANT.
The Excellent Service Rendered n
Confederate Family by n NORTH
ern Soldier.

In the spring or early summer of
1868 a party of federal scouts, COM
manded by Lieut.. John ID. Hanning,
company c, Second Rhode Island cav
airy, reached Lake Clause plantation,
West BATON Rouge parish, La, and
surprised it's owner, Mr.. w. w. Lem
mon, my father. They took all the
guns, but after long interview with
Mr.. Lennon, in which the prisoner
must have promised to go with them
later, they departed, leaving him at
home. After that Lieut.. Hanning
came out often, always accompanied
by two or more soldiers. Father
made no attempt to avoid them, but
met them with hospitality. Mother
played Dixie" and other tunes for
them, writes Minnie j. Lennon
Smith, in the National Tribune.
Lieut.. Hanning was stationed on
this (west) side of the river to assist
in the siege of Port Hudson. Mr..
Lemons only grown son, Lieut..
George c. Lennon, was among those
who held Port Hudson against the
union troops; yet, between the Yam
kee officer and the southern planter
friendship, strong and true, grew
apace. How rightly Mr.. Lennon read
the character of the noble young
northern lieutenant subsequent
events soon proved.
Lieu. Hanning's party came one
evening and father went with them.
Next day the lieutenant returned for
a change of raiment for father, stat
ing that he was going to Baton
Rouge. Three days later Mr.. Lem
mon returned and stated that he had
taken the oath of allegiance to the
United States government. Very
soon after this Mr.. Lennon was
murdered--sho in the back of the
head, with buckshot, in a road that
passed through his Lake Clause plan
tation to Egypt plantation, back
of Lake Clause. His grief
stricken wife, with her two lit
tie boys and young servant, found
the body. In her anguish she drove
to the nearest United States troops
for aid, protection and vengeance.
Lieut.. Hanning came with so United
States soldiers and demanded that
trailing dogs be given him, and said
without the aid of a single citizen he
would. with his soldiers, trace the
murderer and avenge the murder.

"The Power Behind the Throne"

Miss Mildred Holland, who is we'll
and favorably known to local theatre
goers, scored the greatest success of
her life last season in her romantic
play "The Power Behind The Throne"
founded on Schiller's classic, Love
and Intrigue" The Troy Record, in
speaking of the production, says that
Miss Holland received the greatest
ovation ever given an actress in that
city, and that she did not only receive
numerous curtain calls at the end of
each act, but after the curtain had
gone down on the last act of the per-
Torrance, the audience remained in
the theatre and the applause was
almost riotous, the curtain being
raised and lowered again and again.
Miss Holland will make her return
appearance in this successful play at
the Auditorium on Monday night,
Sept. Sth, and as she has made many
friends in Brattleboro by her work in
the past, she will undoubtedly be
greeted by large audience, on this
occasion. ---.. ------

The Coal Situation.

The strike which has continued so
many weeks is still on, with no ap-
parent expectation of relief. From
facts learned of G. f. Thompson,
treasurer of the Brattleboro Gas Light
company, the condition appears more
serious than many have supposed.
The company is obliged to use an
thracite coal the year round, and moth
ing can take its place. Their consump-
ton averages from three to five tons
week. Three weeks ago they were
able TO obtain one car of ~ tons only,
at cost of $3.50 ton. The present
week they have bought one more car,
the only car that was for sale in New
London, at a cost of $1,000 a ton,
and after trying in Rutland, New
Haven and other places they finally
obtained another car in New Bedford,
Mass, at a cost of about SIS ton.
The fact is that all markets in New
England are nearly bare of hard coal.
Soft coal may be obtained in limited
quantities, but at present the price
is about one third more than usual.

The question of high license VS..
prohibition in Vermont will never be
settled to the satisfaction of the peo-
pie of the state, and to stay, until 1t
has been submitted TO a referendum
vote. The enactment of law by the
legislature, without submission TO the
people, will not satisfy public senti-
ment. Mr.. Fits, If elected to the
legislature, will work for the passage
of the best obtainable license law, to
be submitted to referendum. What
DR.. Conland would do he declines to
say. The safe way for Brattleboro
Republicans, who wish to see party
pledges kept and public sentiment
satisfied. is to vote for the Republi-
can candidate.

cessful, and Mr. Dillingham;. as sena-
tor has justified all the expectations
of his friends This year he comes
up for the regular election for the

representative cast for any other can

not wish to undo the work of two
years ago, is to vote for Mr.. Fits.

Vote for Clarke c. Fits.

One of the main arguments used by
the Democrats in their personal can
vass on the town representative ques-
ton is that there is no politics in this
election, that it is not a question
whether a Republican or a Democrat
shall be elected but that the main
and only thing is to make sure of the
enactment of high-lcense law. For
this reason, they say, vote for DR..
Conand. because he is a pronounced
high license man. Such an argument
can have no influence with any
thoughtful Republican who means to
stand by his party and wishes for
its success. The Republicans of Ver-
mont are pledged by their party plat
form, adopted in state convention, to
the enactment of high license law
to be submitted to the vote of the peo-
pie of the state. Mr.. Fits, as a rep
resentative of his party, is pledged,
by personal assurances to his friends
and by public declaration, to do all
/ in his power, If elected to the legisla-
ture, to make good the party promise
! by helping to secure the passage of
the best high-license bill that can be
! drawn. No man can do more than
this. whatever his personal belief
about the best way to control the
liquor traffic. This being the case
the only right and consistent thing
for Brattleboro Republicans to do is
to support the nominee of their party
for town representative.
