 This decrease in number is made up in increased tonnage, there being a much larger tonnage tax collected than the previous year. and showing the tendency to charter vessels of larger tonnage.

Opening for Improvement

A petition has been circulated
among the business men here and at
Hoosck Falls and North Adams ask
ing the postofiice department to estab.
fish mail route over the line Of
trolley. between here and North Ad.
ans, and also between here and Hoo
sick Falls.
Owing to the roundabout routes of
the steam railroads and the worse than
roundabout methods by which they are
managed, the mail service between
Bennington and North Adams and
Hoosick Falls is exceedingly unsatis-
factory. 1t is practically impossible
to send letter from here to either
place and get reply the same day,
although only few miles apart end
closely identified in business interests
A letter mailed here early In the
afternoon does not reach North Adams
until the next morning and If the re-
clplent delays until the AFTERNOON In
replying 1t is another day before his
reply will reach Bennington. BE-
tween here and Hoosick Falls the ser.
vice is even worse and there is great
chance for Improvement even between
Bennington and North Bennington.
For instance a letter dropped in the
postoffice here any time after $50 in
the afternoon addressed to North Ben
nington does not leave the local post
Office until the SIS mail the next morn
ing, and therefore will not reach a
North Bennington person addressed
before the middle of the forenoon II
would seem as though the postofiice
department should not hesitate In es.
tablishing a mail route over the cleo
trio road.

CREAMERY TROUBLE AT MILTON
Patrons of Donahue's Factory May
Lose Considerable Money.

Milton, Nov 27.-The patrons of the
Donahue creamery thought the finan
cial depression had hit them when at a
meeting in Kennedys hall yesterday
afternoon they were offered 30 per
cent of what was due them for October
milk IL they would sign a contract to
continue with the creamery for year
otherwise it is reported those who
have not already been paid will get lit
tie or nothing. A few have received
their October checks.
The high price of grain and feed
have been hard strain on farmers in
this section and the expected loss of
nearly two months milk makes the out
look gloomy for some,

The manswas amazed at the treatment he received. declaring that he never said one word to the young ladies nor had he made any ungentlemanly advances toward them. He made all apologies and was ordered away.
 The ladies and the young man, ac- companied by several others. thought that the man was negro member of the minstrel troupe that appeared in the city last night and that made them furious. He had every appear ance of being a copper colored negro, was we'll dressed, but his complexion was very light. They were sure that he was a negro. It was learned af- ter the man had been assaulted that he was a white man, a stranger ill the city and that he was making his home at boarding house on West Second avenue. He told of the incident at the boarding house after his arrival last evening and was so badly injured about the face and his feelings hurt so, much that he was unable to eat his evening meal. The man, who is known to his acQuaiutances as a man of ..gentlemanly conduct, almost cried to his friends in telling of the incl dent. He said he tried to explain to the young man who struck him, but was not given chance to do so. He went up town after supper, look ing for the young man, wishing to set himself right. He declared that he did not want any trouble and that he feared that he might be attacked a second time. He said he was sure the young man who struck him would not have done so had he known the true facts.
