Massachusetts, officers were in town
to see if anything could be
lone TOWARDS securing IL cases of
cloth. The cloth was a part of the
stock of the GoldenRod mill. 1t was
sold by the trustees to Mrs. J. F.
who sold it to Samuel Kus-
lansky. 1t did not linger long in the
possession of Mr.. Kuslansky, who sold
it to New York firm, and shipped it
the same day. 1t is reported here
that the cloth was removed from the
mill in a clandestine manner, and was
not missed by the keeper in time for
him to capture it before it was over
the state line. This is evidently a.
new complication in a very complica-

happen to remain over and above the
expenses for their treasury. The
tickets for the three recitals will be
but zoe, i. e., at the rate of 25c for
each concert. Opportunity to pur-
chase these tickets will be given early
next week, and it is hoped that as
many as desire to enjoy the rare privi-
lege of these concerts will purchase
them in advance, so that the success of
the undertaking may be assured from
the first, and final arrangements made
at once with Mr.. Benedict.
