stir in the busting city on the Mime

anXiously awaited his arrival. When he
failed to show I'D at that hour or in the
hours succeeding until night-fall fair
women and brave men trembled to think
of the awful accident that might have
befallen him. There was talk of search
party, and several couriers finally rode
out toward Kasota to seek tidings In
town the some guards kept silent vigil
through the dark hours, but no word came
to allay fear or confirm the worst sus-
picions. rE%

Identification of Eugene Frost for
damage done to his ice pond in 1897
and 1898, Lawyer James F.. Hooker ex
planned the matter, saying that when
the grade on Maple street had been
lowered a large quantity of mud and
water poured into Mr. Frost's pond
causing damage in 1897 to the amount
of SS4 and in 1898 to the amount of STA.
Mr.. Frost had been obliged to build a
new drain at the cost of SLY and as he
tion from the town he had brought
suit for $500. Mr.. Hooker stated that
Mr.. Martin, counsel for the town, had
admitted that Mr.. Frost ought to be
Unidentified but that he thought it
would be establishing bad precedent.
According to Mr.. Hooker's idea the
paying of an honest debt could never
be bad precedent and he moved that
the town vote $276 to pay Mr.. Frost
for his damages. Mr.. Martin admitted
his statement but still held to the
opinion that it would not be safe
precedent to pay Mr.. Frost, saying
that he had bill of $40 from Shum-
way & Staples, the present owners of
the pond, which would be presented if
Mr. Frost'i claim was allowed. Mr..
Hooker spoke once more in favor of his
motion but it was finally lost, although
three votes by reclamation were called
for before the moderator decided the
matter in favor of the noes.
Article II regarding the appropria
ton of S75 for repairing the stairs
leading from Frost Place to Birge
street was championed by Gen. Estey
and opposed by W. II. Vinton. There
was division of opinion on the mat
ter but Mr.. Estey's motion was finally
carried. On motion of c. F. Thomp-
son, Fuller park was accepted by the
town.
Article Ii to choose one railroad
commissioner brought out history
of the Brattleboro Whitehall from
G. f. Thompson who nominated II. p.
Wellman for the position. Mr.. Well
man was unanimously elected.
The final article on the warrant rel
ative to allowing Company the use of
Festival hall one night week for
drilling purposes brought out consid-
cradle discussion but Gen. Estey' mo-
ton to allow the company the use of
the hall was finally carried Gen.
Estey, c. F. Thompson, Lieut.. Glib
son and Capt. Waterman spoke in favor
Of the article and W. II. Vinton and j.
g. Stafford opposed it. The strongest
opposition to the article came from the |
TACT that the company's drilling shook
he building violently and rendered
work in the postofiice almost impos
'ible, but this was ruled by those
who thought the company ought to be
for the welfare of the town. |
Adjournment was taken after the I
passing of this article

SUCCESSFUL MILITARY WHIST.
Given in Festival Hall Last Evening by Brat
tleboro Chapter, D. A. R.-0ne Hundred and
Sixty Couples Participated : Method of
Playing the Game.

One of the most enjoyable social
events of the season in Brattleboro
was the military whist party given in
Festival hall last evening under the
auspices of Brattleboro chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion. One hundred and sixty couples
divided into four battalions partici-
pated The elaborate decorations of
the hall and the varied colorings of
the many beautiful gowns contrasted
strongly with the black and white
evening dress of the men and COM
bined to make beautiful ensemble.
The decorations were unique and
doubly attractive on that account.
Around the balcony were draped
streamers of blue and white bunting
with American flags at intervals, and
the walls of the hall were covered with
the national colors. The card tables
were arranged in three rows, 10 tables
in row, and over each table hung a
small flag bearing the name of a Unit
ed States fort. AT the side of each flag
was a string of small banners which
represented the number of points won.
The method of play is as follows
Each table is called fort and the first
two couples who play at a table are
supposed to take turns protecting it.
After one hand is played the signal is
given by bugle and one couple move
from each table to the next. At the
end of the next hand the couple who
moved the first time return to the
home table and defend it while the
other couple are playing away from
home. All points won by couple are
strung on wire at the home table,
each point being represented by
small flag.
The winners last evening were-Bat-

DEATH OF GEN. J. J. ESTEY.
Continued from First Page. J

DR.. James Conland says Gen. Estey will be
mourned by the many recipients of his silent
bounty, by the multitude whose welfare ever
was uppermost in his thoughts.
Geo. c. Averill, president of the Vermont Ma
tional bank, speaks of him follows: In the
death of julius J. Estey, Brattleboro has suffer
ed a sudden and severe blow, and one that will
be felt not only in town but throughout the
state and beyond. BY his personal qualities
and public spirit and services he was especially
endeared to the community, and there is a uni
versal feeling of heartfelt sympathy toward his
family and relatives in their atfiiction together
with confidence that his sons will carry on well
the work that has been his.
Rev. f. L. Marble says: The church and com
munity has suffered an irreperable loss in the
death of Gen Estey. He was easily our first cit
iZen--a splendid example of Christian manhood
He exercised commanding influence in civic
affairs and was always found upon the right side
of every question that had moral bearing. In
all matters of beneiicence he not only gave
generously of his money but also gave him
self without reserve. Above all else he was a man
who loved God sincerely and served him with
simplicity of heart. His greatest joy has been
in extending knowledge Of the Gospel which
he believed ana in helping men to better life.
We shall miss him in the councils of the com
monwealth and the deliberations of the church
but life is richer because he has lived and hope
is surer because of his triumphant entrance into
that life which is reserved for those who keep
the faith.
Charles F. Thompson has the following to
say II have always known Julius j. Estey
from hoyhood until the present time. Remem-
her very distinctly when he went away for
short time to Norwich university and how
proud his neighbors and friends were of him
after he had finished his course there, also
distinctly remember his early manhood and his
beginning of business with his father and the
evidences of business tact and promise which
very early developed Almost all the present
generation are acquainted with his close
necton with the late Mr. Moody and the great
assistance he to him in his work. ] am
also very glad to add my tribute to that of null
titudes of his fellow citizens, to his high per
sonal character, to his faithful performance of
whether public or private. His faithtulness to
his church and to the Y. NJ. C. A., as well as his
devotion to all that was good, will not soon be
forgotten. Truly may say that great and
good man has been taken away from us.
