Chaffseville, in the town of Mansfield, to
Montville, where q mill In Palmertown,
formerly used for the manufacture Of BIZ
cycles. has been leased for three years.
The firm has been reorganized, and will
hereafter be known as 1.-THE Chaffee
Manufacturing Company" The reason
for moving from Chaffseville Is the dis
tance Of the place from railroad and the
scarcity Of help there. At Palmertown
about fifty hands will be employed.

'Saved by Grace" and other impressive
selections were rendered.
In writing the obituary notice of Lydia
Wilson a number of interesting facts In
connection with Staford's early history,
of which we have undoubted proof, have
been recalled to mind, some of which will
bear relating. When Lieutenant Elisha
Alden built the house torn down by the
late Josiah Converse few years ago, and
for number of years after its erection,
large tribe of Indians occupied the lands
In tts'rear, extending to the river. At
about this time there was no bridge over
the river near the mineral spring, only
ford. A well-trod path led down the hill
to the river's edge, opposite the spring,
and small foot-bridge had been con-
structed across the stream, on which the
boys Of that day used to stand and spear
fish. An uncle of the writer, Daniel Con-
verse, In company with one Of the Alden
boys, was engaged In this sport one day
when he had the good luck to spear and
secure salmon Weighing II pounds.
Mrs. Lydia s. Wilson, one of Staford's
oldest and most representative residents,
died at her home In Stafford last week
Thursday after an Illness covering many
years. The death Of Mrs. Wilson, whose
maiden name was Lydia 8. Alden, de-
serves more than q passing notice. She
was descendant In direct line Of John
Alden Of Mayflower fame, viz: 1st, John
Alden; ID, his son. Joseph; 3D., Joseph's
SON, John; 4th, Johns son, Rev. Noah, q
Baptist clergyman, who divided his time

think 1t is possible before the end of
the week that our chief surveyor of the
Hartford & Worcester road, and possibly
one or more of his assistants, may run
down to Stafford Springs from Wales and
Brimfield, and have advised him to call
on you If he wants any information In re-
gard to the locality In and about Stafford
Springs. Our plans for the construction
are materializing quite rapidly, and as
soon as we can get the matter OF the fran
chise for the short space In the town OF
Oxford, Mass, cleaned up We shall then
be ready to organize our Massachusetts
company and take up the matter of COM
pleting contracts for the construction. l
should think that In three or four weeks
from now we ought TO be about ready to
20 ahead with the whole proposition. In
the meantime we are pushing along. the
surveyors as fast as possible, having three
parties of surveyors at work, and are now
arranging to send out fourth party to
work down In Connecticut as soon Is We
can get the men.

Oak ranch had been fired and requesting
that Wilson's bloodhounds be sent to the
ranch at once On Thursday night fire
was started in several places on the
northeast side of the ranch about seven
miles from headquarters, but owing to
the dampness of the night it failed to
burn. On Friday afternoon a strip of
several miles of prairie was fired on the
south side of the ranch This fire burned
over something like a thousand acres of
range before it could be put out In one
place a binder Irvine string, saturated in

Ann Arbor. Nov. 29.-Like Caesar
Hurry Up" Yost is looking for new
fields to triumph over. He now has the
championship of. the west and his am
billions are yearly becoming greater. =
year ago he made the boast that as a
coach he had been instrumental in de-
feating every football team of any con-
sequence west of Pennsylvania with the
exception of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
This year he has completed his conquest
in this section. This is his first year
under three years contract and he ex-
poets to develop a team next year that
will not only win the championship Of
the west. but will also defeat repre-
sentative team in the east.
Coach YCst will lose from his team
four players who have served their four
years. Sweeley and Herrnstein have
fought for the maize and blue THEN
allotted time. McGugin played two years
at Drake university and two years at
Michigan. Cole had but one year left
when he came to Michigan from Mari
eta college. This will leave ten M
men that are eligible for the next years

Dreyfuss Thinks the Pirates Will Win
Next Season.

Pittsburg, Pa. Nov. 29-President
Barney Dreyfuss of the twice champion
Pfttsburg baseball club today bet 81 900
with a well known steel man that Pitts
burg will win the pennant for next sea-
son in the National league. Dreyfuss
said:
I have made this bet, and II am will
ing to make it ten times before the sea-
son opens. 1 particularly want to get
some of the money which the American
league people have. They have made
Pittsburg team. 1 want them to know
they can win my money if they have
the sand or the money. They must put
up the real coin. Now is the time to
bet 1 wager and will go to the finish
that Pittsburg wins the pennant next
season-that is. the coming season. Do
I hear any response? I want to prove
that the American league has not hurt
the Pittsburg ball team very much. The
places of Tannehill and CHESHIRE are
easily filed
