ON A VISIT.

lanes Baldwin was an arrival
this week to spend some time with
his daughter and to visit relatives.
A year has passed since he was
here last which was spent by him
in the Ashantee country on the
west coast Of Africa. He looks as
healthy and corpulent as ever and
in his appearance showes that the
tropical climate has not seriously
affected him. AS general manager
of a British American company he
has charge over a vast track Of
land which is known to be rich in
gold. All the prospecting work is
under his supervisor. Mr.. Bald
win says that it is an interesting
country, Inhabited at some early
period of the worlds history by a
civilized race, as old ruins, struc-
lures like the pyramids still bear
silent witness. The old mine
workings also show this evil
dence and in them stone and bronze
tools have been found. To the

Frank Lashway was arrested yesterday
morning for intoxieation on complaint of
Chief OF Police +. II. Ketchum and plead
ed guilty to one offense. He was fined IS
and sts,amounting in all to s10.11, which
he paid.
rs.Lashway then complained Of Sidney
Adshed on the ground OF drunkenness and
be was arrested, but for lack OF sufficient
evidence against him the case was mol
pressed.
John Hulburt, a visitor here and son-in-
law of John w. Adshed, complained of
his father in law as being drunk, but.
the evidence not being very strong, the
case was dismissed.
Thereupon Lashway informed the court
that he bought his liquor on School street
OF John w. Adshed, who was arrested on
complaint Of +. II. Ketchum and entered
plea of not guilty. The evidence OF Lash
way, however, as to the buying, was con-
else and definite and was supported by the
fact that he and Adshed had an all nights
carouse at the house Of the latter.
The court found Adshed guilty and inn
posed a sentence of II months in the House
of Correction at Rutland.
The penalty for such an offense under
the new law is fine of not less than 800,
or Imprisonment for not less than three
nor more than II months, or both.

Death Of Carlos 8. Pratt.

Carlos Bass Pratt, in his 65th year, died
at O'Clock Friday morning after just a
weeks illnesss from pneumonia. He was
taken with a severe chill Friday night of
the week before on going to his room at
the home of his sister, Mrs. Isaac Newton,
with whom he lived, and though prompt
attention loosened the developing pneu-
monia, the feebleness of the heart action
prevented his throwing off the disease.
Mr.. Pratt was born in Braintree, Sept.

ingl Pratt, and spent his youth and early
manhood there. In the early '70s he came
to this village and built the house now

went West and worked at his trade as car
penter in Minneapolis, and, coming home,
staid for awhile and then returned to
work for the late George Wood, who had
building contracts in that city then.
Later he worked i'm Greenfield, Mass,
with j. NJ. Holman. Last summer he
built the addition to Salisbury Brothers
miu in this village, and was planning TO
take charge of the addition which the firm
is to erect the present season.
Very early in life he Joined the Baptist
church in Braintree and had been identi-
fed with the Baptist church in Randolph
since its organization. He had been
charter member OF Arcadia lodge, lndepen-
dent Order OF Good Templars, since its
organization thirty years ago and was
lodge deputy at the time OF his death. His
was a consistent Christian character that
honored his profession, and all who knew
him feel that a good man indeed has gone
to his reward
He left a son, Carroll II. Pratt, an archi-
tect Of Brooklyn, n. ", and is survived by
brother, b. /. Pratt, and a sister, Mrs.
Newton, both of Randolph, and half
brother, Denison, who lives at Los Gatos,
Santa Clara county, Cal, and is quite ad-
vanced in years.
The funeral, which was largely attend
ed, was held in the Baptist church at 2
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, the pastor, Rev.
Brown +. Smith, officiating. A. +. Lamb
acted as conductor and the bearers were
A. j. Foster, Alfred Webster, X. +. Parker
and j. J. Trerise. The flowers were ex-
ceptionally beautiful and included apillow
from Arcadia lodge, of red and white car
nations with lilies and smilax and in the
center the letters, II. o. q. IT,; bouquet
of pink and white carnations from the
Baptist church, a bouquet of roses sent
from Boston by Harry and Miss Carrie
Eaton. large wreath with deep red roses
