DECISION AGAINST rHAw.
Justice DOwling Says He Should Be Re-
tanned at Matteawan.

New York, June S0.--Justice Downing
yesterday denied the application Of
Harry *. Thaw TO be removed from the
Mateawan asylum TO some other insti-
tuition. The decision says, If after suf-
fcient observation, is it proper to re-
move him to some other institution, the
state authorities can so act."
Justice Dowlings order is not opera

is now in custody under the order Of
Justice Mills by reason Of whit OF habe-
as corpus on which ne was taken to
court in White Plains to-day. Justice
DowIing's decision further declares that
Thaw is a dangerous insane person, who

Brattleboro's Local Fight.

carefully conducted canvass which
brought out one Of the largest votes

BEAUTIFUL BENJAMIN FALLS.

The Barre and Montpelier electric rail
road is gradually assuming control Of
the unoceupied territory along the line
between the two cities, its owners, no
doubt, having an eye to the growth OF
the twin communities which shall cause
building operations to boom in the Sec
ton intervening 1t now has, or some Of
its owners have, control Of a large por-
ton OF the remaining property which is
suitable for residential purposes; and by
the most recent acquisition it has secured
also one Of the most popular natural
parks I'd be found anywhere hereabouts.
beautiful Benjamin Falls, with its mini
allure cascades, its rushing stream and
its deep shades, is an ideal picnic ground
which the general public Of the two cities
long since discovered and utilized. 1t
is likely, too, that later the railroad
company will improve the natural beau
ties Of the place by putting in park
facilities. The suggestion i perhaps I'M
necessary, but we feel like putting in a
word for the preservation Of the terri
tory directly contiguous to the stream
just as nature designed it. There is
wildness, yet withal a beauty, about the
falls themselves that appeals impressive
ly to the sense Of the artistic; and any
steps to change them would mar the
handiwork of nature irreparably. Hence,
the suggestion, On other parts Of the
preserve there is abundant opportunity
for making whatever improvements may
be considered necessary But The Falls
and the territory around them should be
kept as nature framed them, a picture
Of unmatched beauty.
