REV. A. NJ. BRADLEY OUT.
Springfield, Mass, Church So in Debt
State Supt. Has Taken Possession.

Rev. A. NJ. Bradley, who went from
the Barre Universalst church to Spring
field, Mass, Feb. 1st, closed his services
there last Sunday.
The facts are that shortly after he
went there he found bad financial condi-
tions in the church. There were heavy
debts daily becoming more pressing. MIR.
Bradley quickly made up his mind that
it was impossible for the church to
meet its obligations at the rate OF ex-
pense under which it was running, and
sent for DIR. Conklin, the state superin-
tendent. When he was able to possess
himself of the facts he agreed with Mr..
Bradley and together they arranged with
the trustees whereby-without resigna.
tion--he closed his work last Sunday
and DR.. Conklin as state superintendent
took charge in an endeayor to extricate
the church from its embarrassment and
at the same time save the property
| from foreclosure.
| The relations between Mr. Bradley
and the parish are most friendly. These
troubles had eliminated before he went
| there but the fact was known to only
one or two Of the trustees, who conceal.
ed it, in the hope that with o new min
lister they would pull out.

Probably one of the best orations Of the
exercises was that delivered by John

gently under three heads, educational,

ant and helpful association that they
had enioyed with the teachers and stu
dents and Of their obligations to the
board Of trustees of the school and
lastly Of the parting of the class into
the different walks in the world.
After the singing OF the class hymn
written by Winfred Harvey Hewitt
Principal O. X. Hollister gave them
brief farewell remarks. "You are stand.
ing at the open door, he said, "and
there are two roads leading from it
The motto OF one is self and the other
service. Taking one you will find many
troubles, discomfort, every sorrow, dis
appointment and degradation. Taking
the other you will find cheer, happiness
and Joy in the work. We send you out
believing that you will take the latter
road. The twenty eight diplomas were
then presented to the class by President
w. r. Shipman.
At the close of these exercises th'
alumni dinner was held in the dining
room, followed by after-dinner speeches
by alumni members.

A PRETTY WEDDING.
Maud Gleason of Richmond and M. G.
Leary of Burlington.

Richmond. June 2s.-Nliss Maud Glea-
son of this place and NJ. s. Leary OF
Burlington were married at s o'clock by
the Rev. A. ]. Glynn, the ceremony tax
inc place in the Catholic church. The
church was beautifully decorated and
especially the sacristy within which the
marriage ceremony was performed. The
happy couple were hidden beneath ferns
and palms. The bride was gowned in
pure white silk and carried bridal roses
and was attended by her sister, Miss
Matte Gleason, and Thomas Leary was
best man. Promptly at eight o'clock
the bridal party entered the church to
the strains OF Lohengren's wedding march
with Miss Bostwick at the organ.
After the ceremony the happy couple
and few invited friends were driven
to the home of the bride where light
refreshments we're served and a pleasant
hour was spent. The couple left for
two or three weeks honeymoon at

GERMANY's REPLY.
Insists on Conference of Powers on Mo
roccan Question.

Paris, June 28.-Germany's reply to
the French note on the subject of Moroc-
co was presented during conference at
the foreign Office yesterday between
Prince Radolin, the German ambassador,
and Premier Rouyier. While most friend
ly in form and entirely lacking a pre-
emptory tone, Gerrnany's response main
tains the position that the Moroccan
question must be regulated by a confer
ence of the powers without any agree
ment in advance limiting the scope of
such conferences. This was accompanied
BY the presentation of Germany's gen.
eral point of view in such an amicable
spirit as to disarm the suspicion enter
tanned concerning Germany's ulterior
motives.
It is thought that Premier Rouyier
will be prepared to terminate the contro.
versy, either by accepting the conference
OF submitting counter proposals. How.
ever. he informed Prince Radolin that
no decision would be taken until tbs
German note had been submitted to the
council of ministers, Friday.
Tension in official quarters has nota
bly diminished and this is only explain
able on the theory that a conferences
will be accepted, as Germany's Response
does not make any notable concession
However, the agreeable tone adopted bs
Germany and the entire absence of men
ace appear to create the most favorable
Impression.

HE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT HIT HIM
But Very Likely Twas Train That
Made Thomas Stewart Uncon-
scious for Dozen
Hours.

Thomas Stewart OF New York, a
stonecutter, doesn't known how it hap
pened. nor does anyone else apparently.
But Stewart was picked up alongside
the Central Vermont railroad track north
Of the city early last evening, unconsci-
ous and to all appearances badly hurt.
The branch train coming in at 6.40
brought the injured man to the Emerg-
eney hospital, where he was treated.
He remained unconscious all night,
but this morning came to enough to
give his name and residence, also occii-
patton. When questioned regarding the
cause of his condition he could not tell
simply saying that all he remembers is
starting to take ear for Montpelier
His injuries are not of serious nature
being O slight concussion OF the brain
and cash, five inches long, on the back
| of the head. The hospital officers said
that he would undoubtedly recover.
Stewart may have received his in
juries through being struck by trair
or by blow from some jagged weapon
| 1t Is said that man was seen on th,
Central track in that vicinity early il
the evening and he may have been th'
same person. Engineer Farrell who wa
in charge of the train does not thinl
that his train hit che man. He saw tn
man lying beside the track and stoppe,
to investigate. The place is near Clarl
lShepard's.. Mr.. Shepard says that h
saw the man on the track about fiftee,
minutes before the train came along
and his son saw the man sitting on tn
track few minutes later. This lead
to the belief that Stewart was trifi
slow in getting out of the way of th
train and that he received half blow
