Newberry Orchestra.

The members of the Newberry orche
ira met Tuesday night at the Salter
Studio for the purpose of reorganiz-
ing and getting into shape for the
fall. Several of the old members
have dropped out, not being able to
return to the city, but new ones come
in to fill their places and there is
every prospect that the orchestra
this fall will be larger than ever be-
fore. The organization is on strong
financial basis, having some cash on
hand and also owning heavy double
bass.
The reorganization was ef-
fected and practice will commence
in the near future. Mr.. F. NJ. Boyd
was elected president and director,
and Prof Powell was elected treas
urer and general manager. -

worked faithfully to make the event
success. The solos, vocal and in

How Morgan's Wealth Began.

The foundation or the great wealth.
Of J. P. Morgan was laid by the great
fire which swept New York city in
1895. At that time Mr.. Morgan's
father was a youth of IS years and a
dry goods clerk in Hartford, and his
grandfather was a modest lnnkeeper
He was the proprietor of the City
Hotel in Hartford. While the flames
swept New York in 1885 the Aetna
Fire Insurance Company of Hart
ford, was known to be heavy loser.
It had not then become so great a
financial institution that it could face
such a loss without nisglvings. Many
stockholders became alarmed at a
great sacrifice. Some almost were
ready to give them away, in the fear
that they would be heavily assessed
to meet the loss incurred in New
York. As was usual, such topics
were discussed in the hotel corridors,
and Mr.. Morgan was offered much
stock nearly as a gift. John Warbur-
ton. who was one of the wealthiest
men in the country, advised him to
take all he could get az these prices.
and advanced the money to him.
The innkeeper began buying. and
soon had bought a majority of the
stock at prices ranging from 2 IL to
10 cents or tie dollar. Six leading
men in Hartford then signed note
for 100000, discounted it at the
Hartford Bank and placed the pro-
ceeds at the disposal of the insur-
ance company. The company met all
of it's losses and wrote large amount
of new business. The result was a
great boom for the company and Mr.
Morgan found himself worth $780,
600 when the tang1es were straight
ened out.
Mr.. Morgan's nrst thought was for
his son, who was working as a dry
goods clerk. He decided that his
son. Ju- ius S. Morgan. should become
a merchant. An interest was bought
for him in a large mercantile house
in Boston. The firm prospered and
in few years young Morgan sold his
interest for $4,000. He continued
in the mercantile business for sever
al years longer. however, and increas-
ed his fortune to the extent of $780,
600. Junius S. Morgan then determ-
ined to go to London, where he be-
came partner to George Peabody, the
American banker. Here he adhered
to the same strict integrity which
had made him successful in his native
country, and he began to train his
son, J. Pierpont Morgan. in the same
way, J. P. Morgan worked for years
in the foreign exchange department

A record breaking crowd attended d
the first game with Hoosick Falls

Bennington was victorious by
score of six to one but the game was
much better than the tally would indi-
cate.
The fun began early in the game.
In the first inning Keller got first on
an error, Burns made base hit and
Welsh Strengthened out a curve for a
two bagger while Keller and Burns
scored.
Welsh, however, was called out for
cutting first base but the umpire allow
ed the two runs.
In the fourth Horr of Rutland, who
pitched for the locals, hit the ball for
two bases scoring Welsh and Meader.
Hoar also made two bagger in the
sixth and three bagger in the eight

DROWNED
in RIVER
Bennington Boy Victim Of
Fatal Accident.
EDWARD c. EVANS, AGE n
Body Found In East River But
Circumstances of the Drowning
Are Unknown.
EDWARD c. EVANS, AGE Il

A telephone message from New
York was received Sunday noon
stating that the body of Edward c.
Evans had been found in the North
river at the foot of 22nd street
He had been missing since We'd
nesday and it is very probable that
the body had been in the water alS
that time. The fact that he could not
be found caused little worry among
his friends as he had secured work In
club house and they supposed that
he was there.
The body was in bad condition and
was identified by his brother, Tim who
is also in New York from some letters
in his pocket. Tim telephoned here to
his parents, Mr. and Mrs John
Evans.
The deceased who is 21 years old
lived in this town mp to year and
half ago and was we'll known here. He
has been here for a visit with his pa
rents within a month.
He had position in hotel in the
city and he and his BROTHER lived
with their sister, Mrs ]. w. Rice.
His father left for New York Sun
day night and the body will be
brought here probably tomorrow.
The funeral will be held Immediately
upon their arrival.
His mother and father, three broth
ers and two sisters survive him.
The family says that it was his Gus
tom to spend considerable portion
of his spare time at the beach and they
believe that the drowning was
caused by accident of some kind

THE SUNDAY GAME.
fiOosck Falls Won hCartbrsakins Game With
MARGIN Of One Run.

The game Sunday at Hoosick Falls
was heartbreaking from the Benning-
ton standpoint. With better team
and better ball playing the Benning-
tons were unable to pull the game out
and Hoosick won to 4.
Over 400 people went down to root
for Bennington and some of them did
not get back until today owing to
lack of car accommodations though
the electric road ran all the cars that
its power station would stand.
The Hoosick Falls grounds are
rough and the grass is long and
bothered the Bennington players, who
have played all summer on fast dia-
mond and an outfield nearly clear of
grass.
There was very little batting by either
team. Donnelly pitched for Benning-
ton and Austin for Hoosick and both
pitched good balls but Jerrid had a
little the best OF 1t while Donnelly
proved disappointment as batter.
Several errors at critical times
helped Hoosck to most of their runs
while Hoosick errors we're plenty
enough to have given Bennington a

HOTTER THAN-HARDWICK.
Story From Up the State That Will Not Caut
Chls.

The first of this week, landlord
George F. Daniels, of the Centennial
house, Hardwick, employed man to
do some cleaning up in the hotel base
ment, says The Gazette. The man in
question gathered together a mighty
assortment of paper, cigar boxes, and
other infammable stuff and then pon-
dered how he should best get rid of
it. He was smittened with happy
thought. He'd burn it. He immediat-
ly carried his plan into execution and
stutfing the furnace full of litter, set it
on fire. The boiler soon began to
sing and steam went sailing through
the pipes to the farthest nook and cor
ner of the entire house. AS the thermo-
meters we're register ing about 50 in the
shade the effect may better be imagin-
ed than described.
