Celebration in Honor of Having
Toll Bridge Free
Procession and Exercises In Which Rock
inqham and WalpoIe unlted-inscrlp-
lions on the Bridge.

PROCESSION ana EXERCISES IN WINCH rNOCN-
Inqham and Walpoie United-inserIp-
lions on the Bridge.
The celebration Saturday afternoon, in
honor of making the toll bridge free
proved a very successful and enjoyable
affair. As stated last week, the bridge
passed into the hands of the towns OF
Walpole and Rockingham, Tuesday Nov
ember 1st and was that day made free
after almost 1870 years OF gathering tolls
by the different owners. The committee
OF Bellows Falls, in connection with SIM
liar committees of the town of Walpole
laid out simple, but appropriate. mark
ing of the event the magnitude OF which
exceeded expectations.
At o'clock a procession formed in the
square headed by Wheeler's Bellows Falls
band. 1t consisted of over so carriages
of all kinds, and a number of them pro-
fusely decorated, and a number of people
on horse back. A line of march was
taken up across the bridge and through
the streets of North Walpole. During the
march a procession of over $50 school
children from the schools Of North Wal
pole Joined tho procession and marched
to the opera house, while the rest OF
the procession paraded various streets
on this side of the river, reaching the
opera house about $50.
The hall was well filed and the front
of the stage was decorated with the
large sign which since 1904 has adorned
the inside of the toll house shed over the
old gate, giving the legal rates of toll
for foot passers, and all combinations of
teams and animals. Also on the stage
was the oil painting of the first bridge,
built in 1888; case containing n half
dozen silver spoons made from the very
first silver taken for crossing the bridge
and which has remained in the posses
sion of descendants of the family Of Col.
Enoch Hale. who built the bridge. since
1885; copies of the charter from New
Hampshire in 1888 and subsequent laws
in relation to the management Of the
bridge, and many other mementoes.
The exercises consisted OF singing
America by the audience historical rem
iniscences by Thomas Bellows Peck of
Walpole, Rev. Father Wilde of North
Walpole and c. W. Osgood in behalf of
Rockingham. Mr. Osgood presided, and
the services were simple but exceedingly
interesting, making a fitting note of the
passing Of an old landmark and reminder
of early common practices, now obsolete
with but few exceptions.
The toll bridge was decorated with
bunting, and various inscriptions were
posted upon it. Among them were Here

1t is safe to predict that in future Pres
idential campaigns
No party will nominate a candidate on
the ground that his views are not known
to the voters.
No party will nominate a candidate for
vice president on the ground that he has
more millions than other recommended
lions and more years than anybody ever
nominated for the Office.
No party will leave out of its platform
all mention of one OF the great Issues of
the day.
No candidate for President will impeach
the personal honesty of his opponent I'M
less he has the proof to back up his
charges.

Strike Threatened Among Paper Work.
ers.

For several days this week Bellows
Falls has had hanging over it a labor
strike, which, If really entered upon
would be disastrous to the best inter-
ests OF all citizens. The International
Paper company which employs about $50
men in its different mills here, was the
firm involved. Among other places the
company have extensive mills at Berlin
Falls, N. H.. and in them few weeks
ago trouble arose between the union men
and the company in relation to the dis
charge Of some employees. The union
required a reinstatement, which was re-
fused. 1t then notified the company their
mills there and at other points would be
without workmen at 5 o'clock last night
The local mills received orders from the
New York Office to run out the stock pre-
paratory to shutting down all branches
at that hour. The local employees have
no grievances, and 1t is freely stated by
both the workmen and officials that the
local relations are of the most harmo-
NOUS and pleasant character. With the
exception OF week OF so OF idleness in
May. 1898, there have been no complica-
lions resulting in shutting down. Yester-

Roosevelt viii Not Again Accept omc

President Roosevelt at the White House
Tuesday night. after the election re-
turns clearly indicated the result, issued
the following statement:
Il am deeply sensible of the honor done
me by the American people in thus ex-
pressing their confidence in what 1 have
done and have tried to do / appreciate
to the full the solemn responsibility this
confidence imposes upon me and / shall
do all that In my power lies not to for
felt 1t.
"On the 4th Of March next shall have
served three and one-half years. and this
three and one-half years constitutes my
first term. The wise custom which limits
the President to two terms regards the
substance and not the form. Under no
circumstances will be a candidate for or
accept another nomination"

Plurality on Third Ballot.

The bill providing for plurality election
of representatives on third ballot-a meas
ure that has had more buffeting than any
other dealt with this session--was finally
disposed of in the house yesterday. An
attempt was made to amend II so as to
make plurality effective on the second bal
lot, but that was promptly voted down.
and the bill passed by a vote of 113 to ca.
This indicates very plainly the attitude
of the house as to plurality: but 1t Is
strongly suspected that the senate, hav-
ing passed a straight plurality bill. which
has not yet come to the house, will not
agree to a third ballot bill though pos
sbly it may be induced to come half way
and make 1t apply to the second.
