ness for a time. He afterward learned
the trade of upholstering and was en-
ployed as a journeyman in the shop of
Holmes & company, Boston, when the
late Mayor Patrick Collins of that city
entered the shop as an apprentice. Mr..
Kirwan was for n time a member of the
Boston city council and held the posi-
ton of water inspector. He served
during the Civil war in the navy. He
came to Brattleboro in 1873 and entered
the employ of c. l.. Brown, who ran a
furniture store in what is now the Es
Textbook q Marshall block. A few
years later Mr.. Kirwan opened an up
holstering shop for himself in the Vim.
ton building and conducted it until a
few years ago.
Mr.. kirwan was a man of unusual in
tellectual ability. He was widely read,
particularly in history and politics and
had remarkable memory. In politics
he was always a democrat and in former
years took an active interest in town,
county and state politics. He served

Another Special Village Meeting.

Warrants were posted Saturday for
another special village meeting to be
held in Festival hall Friday evening,
June %, at S clock. At this meeting
will be determined the kind, amount
and denomination of the bonds to be
issued for the construction of the pro-
posed independent water system, the
rate of interest to be paid, also wheth-
er the village will authorize and ratify
the negotiation and sale of the bonds
by the water board. Members of the
board say that it is customary for a
municipality to take such action before
bonds are issued, and it is thought that
the vote of the village will do away
with any question about the validity of
the bonds. The board also states that
active operations will begin on the pro-
posed new system as soon as the action
of the village is taken at the special
meeting.

NEW YORK November 1T.-The question
of the wages to be paid the switchmen on
the eastern railroads. it was stated this
evening, will be taken up by the officials
of the railroads running into New York in
day or two. The general sentiment Is
for general increase of wages In which
all the eastern roads will participate.
representative of one of the largest OF the
| railroads now comforting with other
branches of the service said tonight:
1T has been practically settled that the
eastern roads will increase the wages Of
the switchmen. The matter has been under
consideration and will come up for adjust
ment next week. The increase will be
voluntary and will probably be a fiat in
crease all round by all the companies on the
basis OF the increase granted to the switch
men in Chicago. That is the same per-
centage will be given"
Still in Conference.
Though the railroad offices close usually
on Saturdays at noon the conferences be-
tween the Erie officials and the adjustment
committee of its engineers continued yester-
day until the evening and will be continued
Monday. Everything is proceeding as il
there had been no strike talk among the
firemen last week.
1t was stated today that the strike vote
OF the firemen on the eighteen divisions of
the Erie railroad was completed yesterday
and that it is unanimous vote of con-
fidence in the committee which came here
with Grand Chief Hannahan of the firemen.
Nothing can be done, however, until Han
nahan gets back to this city Monday and
decides what he will do with the vote.
Committee Sent Home
The firemens committee was sent home
after Hannahan had decided to take the
poll, and the next step. If the committee is
not satisfied with the promise of the Erie
officials to pay the average of the COM
peting roads when they fix the wages Of
the firemen, it is said, will be to seek an
other conference with them.
The committees of the engineers of the
various roads which are at the Broadway
Central Hotel continued to say today that
there will be no strike of either engineers
or f1remen. Assistant Grand Chief Hurley
of the engineers, who was left in charge of
matters relating to the engineers, said II
no more believe now that there will be a
strike of either engineers firemen on
the Erie than believed last week. There
Is no reason for a strike and no logical
lead to the assumption that there will be
a strike. / can speak for the engineers
and do not look for any trouble, and L can
see no more reason why there should be
any trouble among the firemen.
