THREE MEN ARRESTED
 FOR sToNING TRAIN.
Local Police Asked to Apprehend Them for the Offense Committed in Leba- non.

Early Wednesday evening as the freight train which reaches this city soon after o'clock was in Lebanon 1t was stoned by party of six men, who it is believed were hoboes, and boy there was struck by one of the stones. The party later got aboard the train, stealing a ride south. The operator there telegraphed to the operator in the local station of the circumstances and asked that the men be arrested here Acting Captain Twomey was in- formed of the affair and sent Sergeant Connell and Policemen Perry, Binder man. O'Neil and Morrow to get the men.
 The train was obliged to stop at the Falls, so the men alighted there and could not be found when the train reached here, so the police went up the track and located three of them walking to the city and they were placed under arrest on suspicion of being the ones wanted. An official of the road was at the local station when the report was made to the operator and he said to arrest the men by all means. He further states that hoboes were getting so bold and fearless that the brakep1Cn were at times frighten- ed by their actions and it was desired that the practice of stealing rides should be stopped.
 The men gave the names of John Palmer. Providence, Charles Stewart, Newark, and Thomas Maloney, Provi- derce

GALLUP CEMETERY ASSOCIATION
Held Seventh Annual Meeting at Old
 Burying Ground on Saturday.

The seventh annual meeting of the Gallup Cemetery association was held at the old burying ground in Ledyard on Saturday with a fair proportion of the members in attendance. The sec retary's report showed an enrolment of 54, there having been neither gain nor loss for the year. The treasurer reported receipts of $10.S4 and expen- ditures of $17.59. Cash on hand amounted to $80.62 and the association also owns one share of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, worth about $170 and paying eight per cent.
 The president outlined informally the genealogy of the Gallup family from the landing at Boston of the first mem Der to come to America down to Squire Benadam, who was the first to be buried in the old cemetery, at that time a part of his west field.
 Those present were particularly im- pressed with the splendid new wall which was built on the west side of the cemetery last fall by Adam Larra- bee. Its value was so much in excess of the price paid that a special vote of thanks and appreciation was unani- mously passed. Dwight Gallup was appointed a special committee to ar range for and superintend the rebuild ing of a portion of the south wall. Each year some permanent improve ments have been made and already the general appearance of the grounds is very satisfactory.
 Officers for the ensuing year were unanimously reelected as follows:
 President-Simeon Gallup, Old Mys- tice.
 Secretary - William M. Gallup, Woodstock.
 Treasurer Christopher M. Gallup, Augusta, Me.
