Brattleboro at once and expects to be
doing business here by Oct. l. 1t will
bring at least 10 employees with it
and several of these men have fami-
lies. The Lowell Scale company has
been in business for 16 years during
which time it has placed on the mar
ket extremely good medium grade plat
form and counter scales. Heretofore
the company has simply assembled its
product but now it intends to manu-
facture the various parts used. This
will mean probably a steady increase
of its working force and may result
in locating in Brattleboro foundry.
The Williams shop will be equipped
with freight elevator and remodelled
in other ways to conform to the de-
mands of the new company.

Mary Wilkins's Husband in Limbo.

Primary day occurred in Metuchen,
n. j.. Tuesday, where DIR. Charles Nj.
Freeman. son of the late Judge Man
ming Freeman, and husband of Mary
+. Wilkins, the novelist, has been seek
ing the republican nomination for
mayor. Jesse 7. Jackson has been his
opponent. At the close of the day,
however, DR.. Freeman found himself
not only hopelessly beaten, but worse
still, under arrest for participating IN
game of craps in company with
James L. Duane, a prominent contrac'
tor of Metuchen, and two negroes,
George Hopkins and John Smith. The
colored men escaped from the town
before the warrants could be served,
but DR.. Freeman and Duane were tax
en- before Recorder Charles Weber and
held in $500 bail each for action by
the grand jury. There are 40 eolored
votes in Metuchen, and the anxiety OF
DR.. Freeman to capture these is said
to have proved his undoing. Accord
ing to Chief Marshal Enos Fouratt,
DR., Freeman set out to corral these
votes on last Wednesday afternoon.
According to the marshal, he met Mr.
Duane and the negroes in the Bruins
wick hotel, on Main street, and
game of craps was started. DR.. Free,
man was about town all day, and did
not take his arrest very seriously. At
the proceedings before Recorder Web
er he denied being present at the game
at all.
