terprising hackman got the best of General
Nelson A Miles on his visit to his sister
here yesterday. After dinner the general
took a stroll down town alone and called on
one of his aids, whom he had left at a
hotel when he went to dine with the Mer-
riams.
While at the hotel he was accosted by
a hackman, who assured the general that
he was wanted Immediately at the John
sonia Hotel, Fitchburg, and was requested
to come by carriage The message was Il
surprise to the general, who promptly said
so adding that he knew of no such ar
rangement in Fitchburg. He had intended
later in the day to go to that city by troll
ley. he explained. but If the people of Fitch
burg had planned little reception earlier
In the day he would not disappoint them,
and he told the hackman he would be
ready to start at O'Clock.
Promptly at the hour the hackman in
full livery appeared at the Merriam house
with the best turnout he possessed. Cen
eral Miles entered the carriage with his
wife and sister, Mrs. Mary j. Merriam all
hands dressed for the reception at Fitch
burg.
In an hour the party reached the John
sonia, expecting to be met by a special COM
mittee. but aside from the elevator boy and
one or two bystanders nobody was on hand.
neither couid the general find anybody
around the premises who seemed to know
anything about his coming to Fitchburg.
The general was not slow in expostu-
lating with the hackman, who had previous
ly relieved him of 81. Then the hackman
drove off
The general Joined the family circle in
the hotel parler. where soon as his pres
ence in Fitchburg was learned ne was for
mally waited on by committee appointed
for that purpose.

thing more about the hack than the general
did, and all agreed that he had been vie
