ONLY DRAWBACK TO
TRADE WAS BAD

Greater Conservatism Is De-
Veloped by the Elemental
Chastisement = Increased
Railroad Earnings Shown
Less Encouragement for
Importations : Hesitation
in Buying Iron and Steel.

NEW YORK, June 5.-R. G.. Dun &.
COS weekly review of trade will say:
Inc elements provided the only un-
favorable developments of the week:
and While these may not prove far
reaching in their effect, their first re-
SUIT is seen in greater conservatism.
dispatches regarding trade conditions
at Inc ieaolng cities are generally en-
coufaglng. Railway earnings in MAY
We're III per cent larger than last
year and 25.4 greater than in 1901.
Ihere is still an inclination to defer the
placing of contracts for iron and steel.
The United States steel corporation
has bought 10000 tons of pig, iron.
CHIEFLY for delivery during the third
quarter, but the recent reimbursement
or quotations has not stimulated gen.
eral activity in the industry. On the
contrary, there is still hope of further
concessions and buyers are disposed to
get the full benefit.
!mportadons are no longer encour-
aging and domestic producers are nre-
pared TO accept more orders than was
POSSIBLE when home markets were I'M
Ger great pressure. Railway improve
ments and extensions are again under
consideration and much work will be
done when confidence is restored re-
garding the labor situation.
Textile industries show no material
Improvement. Sellers of cotton goods
are unwilling to accept contracts for
distant delivery and in even immediate
business there is little disposition to
accept the prices offered Interior trade
reports are less favorable, Western
business being affected by floods. while
drouths at the East and numerous
strikes restrict consumption. Condi-
lions as to wooden goods are practi-
ca!ly unchanged. Prospects continue
bright in the footwear Industry The
average of domestic hides is again
higher, and Colorados sold on par
with native steers.

At the Hotels

did you ever have an opportunity"
asked a st. Paul hotel clerk last night,
Ito study the average man and the aver
age woman who stop at, hotel? It's the
most interesting thing in the world to the
dlsintereSted party, but it's the most dis
tracing thing to the man who has to
bear the brunt of all their sarcasm and
etfrontery. Now, just for instance watch
this little man who is coming toward the
desk He has been staying here for two
or three days. and every time he comes
to the desk to ask for his key-which is
about fifty times a 1ay-he' forgets the
number of his room" -
Give me the key of my ROOM, de-
manded the insignificant little person in
question.

names of three days ago and found the
number, and then handed the crank his
key. 4,UkrB

Metcalf-church

Miss Jessie May, only daughter OF Mr.
and Mrs. +. /. Church. formerly OF Ran
dolph, was united in marriage TO Erwin
II. Metcalf Of Burlington last Thursday
afternoon at 2;45 o'clock.
The ceremony was performed at the res
idence OF the brides parents, l6l Bank
street, Burlington, in the presence OF only
the immediate relatives of the contracting
parties, Rev. j. L. Mead, pastor OF the
Methodist church, officiating. The fol-
lowing report Of the wedding is taken
from the Burlington Daily News;-
1.-THE bride wore a travelling dress oil
coronation blue, with panne velvet hat TO
match, and carried white carnations.
'srhe parlor was prettily decorated with
palms and potted plants. Mr.. and Mrs.
Metcalf left Immediately after the eere-
mony for a short bridal trip, and ON their
return will live at 50 Church street.
sTrhe bride is a native of Randolph, a
graduate OF the Randolph High school IN
the class of 'g9 and OF the state Normal
school at that place in 1900. She is known
to a large circle Of friends as a successful
teacher. The groom is native OF MARI
boro, and is a graduate OF Goddard semi
nary at Barre in the class of '96. He lived
in Barre for about ten years, and was on

first published until last Christmas, when
he moved to Burlington and entered tue
employ Of the Daily News.

"The first intimation Chatfield had o.
anything wrong was when he received 1
blow on the head that knocked him down
He fell between the ties, and before b,
could get on his feet he was hammered
about the head until his face looked one
sided. Chatfield told the police he thought
he was assaulted with club or sand bag
but there is only one point where the skin
is broken and that is under the eye. Az
Chatfield was getting on his feet he
grappled with his assailant and turned
him over backwards.
''Charles West, another barber, was for
merly in the same shop with May Mat
thews and became much captivated with
the lady. Awhile ago Chatfield, whose
home is in Randolph, came from Barre
and began work for Miss Matthews. West
became jealous and told Chattield to leave
or he would wish he had, but Chattield
stayed
''West was arrested in his room at mid
night and brought to trial. He pleaded
not guilty in city court to the charge OF
assault, but was found guilty, fined $50
and costs and sentenced to not less than
four or more than six months in the house
OF correction at Rutland. An appeal was
taken and bail fixed at 500.
'At his trial West did not deny that he
inflicted the punishment on Chatfield but
claimed that he did it in self-defense. He
said that he was on his way back from
Sparrow's livery stable, where he had been
TO see a harness, and when in the bridge
he was attacked by Chatfield and hit in
the face. He showed a slight abrasion on
his cheek to support his story"

FORCED Checks

A clever scheme for raising money
through the exercise of the wits rather
than the muscles was successfully worked
here a couple of weeks ago. Monday, Feb.
10th, was an unusually lively market day
for stock shippers and also day when the
farmers received from the creameries their
monthly checks, which are generally
cashed without question at the stores
where they do their trading. A stranger
OF guileless mien entered the store OF E.W.
Tewksbury * Co. that day and purchased
few dollars worth OF feed presenting a
check for SOS made out on a Randolph
National bank blank and purporting to be
signed by &c. Cone, treasurer of the North
Randolph Creamery association, and en-
dorsed by Dan Moulton. AS it was for
about the sum OF the ordinary creamery
check and bore the signatures OF both Mr..
Cone and Mr.. Moulton, there was nothing
10 excite suspicion and so, after the price
OF the feed had been taken out, the balance
was handed over to the bucolic sharper,
who disappeared with completeness that
would battle Pinkerton detective. The
feed was placed outside the store ready for
him TO take away, but he never came for It,
and sometime after he had probably left
town the check was carried to the bank,
where Cashier Copeland noticed that the
signature was not Mr.. Cones and further
more had only the name OF +. Z. Cone
whereas il should have been signed A. NJ
a +. G. Cone. A telephone message
brought the matter to the attention Of Mr..
Cone, who, upon investigation, said no
such check had been drawn by him. In
the mean time the pseudo farmer, having
worked his trick with the aid of a blank
check taken from the desk in the outer
room OF the bank, had gone to other scenes.
Tuesday a second check, made out on
the same kind Of blank in favor OF +. 9.
Tracy for 1924 and bearing the alleged
signature OF r. II. Slack OF Randolph,
came to the National bank from Williams
town through the mail for collection. Mr..
Copeland knew at glance that Mr.. Slack
never signed the check and upon inter-
viewing him on the subject learned that
il was another forgery. The check was
endorsed by f. G. Tracy and j. X. Lynde,
the latter being the Williamstown mer-
chant who probably cashed it and is now
mourning the loss OF S124. IL this manip-
ulator OF other peoples bank accounts
managed to secure quite handful of Ran
dolph bank blanks, he may be heard from
again before his enterprising genius gets
him into trouble.
