A Musical Treat.

The town hall was well filed last Thurs
day evening with an appreciative audi
ence from Bethel and surrounding towns
TO listen to perhaps the most ambitious
musical production ever given In Bethel,
the famous "Holy City" by a chorus Of
twenty voices and Wlder's orchestra, and
the following solosts:- Mrs. Benz. Swift
OF Orwell, contralto; Mrs. r. M. Chase.
alton, mezzo soprano, Mr.. Madison Jor-
dan OF Boston, tenor; and Mr.. X. X. Lille
OF Bethel, bass. DR.. Jordan of Boston
was conductor and Miss Flora Kendall
pianist. In the chorus were Mrs. Xix
Williams, Miss Nellie Flynn, Miss Jessie
Spaulding, Mrs f. ". Chapman, Mrs j.
A. Graham, Mrs. Frank Wallace. Miss
Henrietta Taggart, T. II. Hamilton, John
Waterman, Scott Blossom, George Water
man, j. A. Graham, +. n Chapman and
Elmer Diusmore.
The program Was a long one and had il
been anything else would have been 4
heavy tax on endurance, but as It was the
audience was held in close attention for
nearly three hours Owing to the length
OF the program, the management gave
notice that no response could be made to
encores. From start to end il was a series
OF high class music rendered in a high
class manner.
It was remarked by music lovers that
the Boston Symphony concerts gave moth
ing better. II required no small courage
to undertake TO carry through such pro-
gram and Mrs. Chase is deserving OF fun
credit in arranging all the details and car
rying to success the plans as a whole.

Held For AlIeaed Arson.

Pearl w. Green OF Stockbridge was
/ arraigned Tuesday before Justice H. >
I Flint, charged with setting fire to his
store building in Stockbridge, with intent
E 10 defraud the insurance companies.
Green's store building at StoekDriage
Common was discovered 10 be on hre
4 about half past ten O'Clock the evening
/ on oct. 4. 1904. When first discovered the
/ flames seemed to be throughout the
entire building Green was carrying a
/ total insurance OF s2400, of which S325 was
on the building and the remainder on
4 stock OF merchandise, ETC.; rloJO was
carried in the Vermont Mutual and 5000
/ in the State Mutual OF Rutland. There
was considerable delay on the part OF the
insurance companies in settling, the YER
mont Mutual not settling for some time
and the Rutland company only recently.
Through family differences, rumors as
TO the origin OF the fire were strengthened,
aud States Attorney Batchelder deter
mined to make a move in the matter.
About 2 a.. M Tuesday of this week, Mr..
Batchelder, with Deputy Sheriff Tinlkham
Of Rochester and others went to Green's
house al Stoekbridge Common, put
Green under arrest and made a search OF
the building. Batchelder had in his
possession what be claimed to be proof
OF the loss made by Green at the time Of
the fire. which proof contained a long
itemized list Of articles claimed by Green
to have been burned in the fire. Batchel-
der claimed TO discover many articles in
the house that corresponded almost
identically with the description Of the
property claimed to have been burned.
Among these articles was a bill OF sl3iO
bought of the Howard Drug Co, including
combs, sponges, extracts, etc., also lot
OF cigars, mop wringers, whips, ten bags
OF grass seed. etc.
Among the witnesses called upon at
Tuesdays hearing were Galen b. Fish,
Bertha Green and Charles Green, sister
and brother Of the respondent. f. Fl.
Davis, John Barnes, Alfred r. Packard,
Henry L. Baker, Samuel Bean and Chas.
Flint. The footing OF the alleged proof
of loss was S5926.16. The testimony OF
none OF the witnesses had much tendency
to show any guilt on the part OF Green.
The only testimony, if it could be called
testimony, was the fact that considerable
property found in the house at the time
Of the search eorresponded somewhat
with the description of the articles
claimed to have been burned.
Justice Flint decided to hold Green in
the sum Of $500 for the further action OF
the county court. In his decision. the
justice remarked that there were several
instances tending to show guilt which
might be explained, but as they had not
been explained he considered it his duty
to hold the respondent.
Green was admitted to bail, and John
Wilcox Of Stockbridge and William Ed
munds OF Bethel became his bondsmen
States Attorney Charles Batchelder con-
Quoted the case for the state and Wallace
N. Batchelder for the respondent.
