7rattIeboro Overall Company VIII Move
to Keene,

The business OF the Brattleboro Overall
company, now conducted in the J. T.
Hildreth building on Elm street. will be
transferred to Keene, n. H., during the
coming summer. Larger quarters have
been leased in c. A. Jones's brick build
ing on Church street, which will give an
opportunity for increasing the business,
this being the prime object of George w.
Darcy Of Boston, owner of the concern,
in moving to Keene. About rs machines
are installed in the Brattleboro factory.
In Keene so additional machines will be
put in and the number of employees will
be increased accordingly. 1t is expected
that not far from so OF the rs hands en-
ployed in the Elm street factory will go
to Keene. At present the capital stock
is $4,000. Mr.. Darcy will increase II to
100000. Not only will overalls be made
at the Keene factory. but the manufac-
ture OF grocers' and other worlmen's
coats, shirts and trousers, which is a
new line for the company, will be taken
up. The Keene city council voted a few
days ago to exempt the stock in trade
and capital stock from taxation for 10
years or such a part of that time as the
business is actually carried on.

MAYOR JOHN CALVIN NOW.
Elected Chairman Of the New Board Of
neutrality-suspicious. Of Night Police
man Postnoned

Elected Chairman Of the New Board Of
neutrality-suspicious. Of Night Police
man Postponed.
1t is now Mayor John Calvin. The
newly elected village bailiffs went into
executive session Friday night for the
first time and organized by electing Mr..
Calvin chairman. At the annual village
meeting Mr.. Calvin received 36S votes,
or three more than any other candidate.
This had not so much bearing, however,
on the choice of Mr.. Calvin for chairman
as his previous service as bailiff and the
fact that he was prominent in advocating
the issue of no day policeman. A petition
bearing the signatures of many business
men was presented to the board through
Bailiff A. F. Schwenk asking them to
reappoint Ernest S. Hall chief of police,
but Bailiff Gilman was not present and
the other members Of the board thought
it would be better to defer action on the
petition until the full board was present,
so the petition was shelved until the next
regular meeting, which will be held
tonight. The clerk, w. d. Perry, was
instructed to notify Mr.. Hall that his
services as day policeman would be dis
pensed with after Saturday. The second
Friday of each month was fixed upon as
the day for the regular meetings The
bailiffs have not considered the question
Of who they will appoint as night watch
man. When the old board appointed
Chief-of-Police Hall day policeman they
appointed Policeman Z. G. Worden night
policeman, and Mr.. Worden gave up his
position with the S. A. Smith company.
The continuance of the arrangement was
understood by both officers to be dis
cretionary with the bailiffs. and now
that the day officer has been dispensed
with the question of reinstating Mr.. Hall
as night Waterman has come up for dis
cussion.

George W. cIapp. Chauffeur, and His
Automobile.

George W. cIapp. Chauffeur, and His
Automobile.
George w. Clapp and one of his many
Manchester friends started, yesterday
morning for Brattleboro, vt, across
southern New Hampshire in an auto
mobile. Mr.. Clapp recently finished the
course of instruction opened in this city
by the New England Auto school. Three
weeks ago Mr.. Clapp brought his ma
chine from his home in Brattleboro over
the road for use in the school work. The
trip was made in company with a Union
representative, without stopping to make
single adjustment, the motor showing
remarkable results, considering the fact
that the car has covered 49, 600 miles of
ground, that it was built in 1901 and has
seen continuous service summer and
winter.
The car itself has quite history. It
is of the Stevens uryea type and was
constructed by ]. Frank Duryea in 1901
for demonstration purposes and was run
several thousand miles that year. During
the early part of the season of 1902 it
was used for demonstration, until the 1902
model was on the road. 1t attracted con-
siderable attention at the New York auto
show of that year. The machine is of
five horse power and weighs $50 pounds
Mr. Clapp, while in this vicinity, made
the trip from Concord in one hour and
twenty-eight minutes and from Nashua
with two persons, in an hour and a half
The car is greatly priced by it's owner
and its condition shows Mr.. Clapps abili-
ty and thorough understanding of auto
mobile construction.
Mr.. Clapp is a professional chauffeur
and his machine is registered under both
Vermont and Massachusetts, laws. In
leaving here the route which he took
was to Amherst, up the river to Lynde-
n n1Ihl lal fhrOt aerln
some of the most picturesque valleys in
the state, to Marlborough and Keene
and on to Spofford lake, where he had
planned to stay over night, and on to
Brattleboro in the morning. The trip is
about 100 miles and is over roads covered
in bringing the machine to this city.

Magnetic Healer's Earnings Small.

The amount of money earned by Prof
b. George wilkins, magnetic healer and
proprietor Of Rest Home. was the sub
Ject under discussion yesterday afternoon
In county court, when a motion was made
by Mr. Wilkins's attorneys to have the
amount of temporary alimony reduced
from $40 per week. Mr.. Wilkins was
called to the stand and IN response to
questions said that his salary formerly
amounted to from $50 to 500 per month
but since the suit for divorce had been
brought and he had been given notoriety
in the newspapers he had not earned
over 81 per week. He said he had to
borrow money to pay the alimony to Mrs.

Mr.. Gale stated that his object was to
strike back at a dozen or Is men in Brat
tleboro who were promoters of the petit
ton asking the New Hampshire license
commissioners to refuse to grant his firm
a liquor license. The petition was signed
by several hundred people. Mr.. Gale did
not object to the presence of the bulk
of these, but to the leaders in the move
ment against him.
Charles Stolte and James Ferriter of
the Crescents and p. ]. Ferrter of the
Athletics held a conference with Mr.. Gale
Wednesday night. The young men argued
that Mr.. Gale was using them as a mop
to strike at those who had offended him,
but he was firm in his attitude. He said
that the island grounds would be free for
practice to the teams of the local league
and to other players.
After this interview the young men
made arrangements as soon as possible
to have their games played on the fair
ground

Miles Standish. 2S, died in the Heaton
hospital, Montpelier, Saturday following
an operation for appendicitis. AS a boy
he acquired more than a local reputation
as a pitcher and he was only II when he
left home to fill a professional engage
ment with the Pawtucket. r. l.. club. In
the following years he played with Haver-
hill and Lawrence of the New England
league, the Metropolitan team of New
York city, and Fall River. He was one
OF the twirlers for the New York Ma
tionals in the early part of 1897, but was
farmed out to Fall River, and while play
ing with that club broke his leg in sliding
to a base so that he was forced to re-
tire from the game.
Tom Shevlin, captain of the Yale foot
ball team, who is a young man of great
wealth, has been gaining notoriety OF
late by his antics with his RED Devil
automobile He started for New Haven
on time with the express train for Hart
ford and arrived In Meriden ahead OF the
train. The mayor of the city saw him
bowling along faster than 40 miles an
hour and notified the chief of police
The result was Shevlins arrest, and he
paid a fine OF $40 in the police court
Last Sunday he visited his sisters who
are attending the Burnham- Capen school
in Northampton, and while there amused
himself by running at breakneck speed
through the streets with his sisters and
other girls in the car The city officials
were notified. and Daniel Martin. former
ly pitcher of the Brattleboro base ball
team and now member of the police
force in Northampton, was directed to
capture the offender. When Martin saw
the big automobile coming he stood
directly in front of 1t, and never budged,
although it seemed to the spectators
that he would be run over and killed.
Shevlin stopped the car, however, just in
time to avoid hitting Martin. The tall
policeman then climbed into the car. in
formed Shevlin that he was under arrest,
and directed him to proceed to the police
station. Shevlin paid another fine for
his escapade in Northampton.
