Mrs Eta NJ. Pratt, aged about 90
years. died Wednesday afternoon at the
Brattleboro Retreat where she had been
for several months. She was the widow
of |. Warren Pratt, who died Feb. d,
1903 For a number of years she had lived
at the town farm and was committed to
the Retreat last summer following an at
tempt to commit suicide by purchasing
drug Arrangements for the funeral have
not been completed. The body will prob
ably be taken to Massachusetts,. Mrs.
Pratt will be remembered as an eccentric
woman who was much about the streets
a few years ago.
During the week the Connecticut river
has risen about two feet, and seven feet OF
water is going over the dam at Vernon
this morning. The water is not as high as
il was during the February thaw, accord
ing to the figures kept by the Connecticut
River Power company. The company does
not anticipate any trouble from high wa
ter if the present weather conditions last
week or 10 days longer. There are no
fash boards on the dam, according to
Superintendent Mahoney. and only one OF
the ten hood-gates has been open during
the past several days. The water was
over large portion of the baseball ground
on the island opposite this village early in
the week, but did no damage.

SELECTMEN'S MEETING
Various Matters Discussed Last Even
ing-Electric Rates.

At the regular meeting of the board OF
selectmen last evening George Z. Averlll
appeared to make statement regarding
the dumping of ashes on his property, the
dust from which has proved annoying TO
his neighbors. He said that he would in
the future keep man at the dump to
wet down each load and would post signs
forbidding the dumping of ashes that had
not been wet Road Commissioner d. T.
Perry asked the board of selectmen for
suggestions concerning a fence on Chest
nut street which occupies part OF the
highway, also fence on the Marlboro
road which disfgures the highway. The
matter was left with him to ADJUST: "A
communication was read from the lWln
State Gas & Electric company giving hg-
ures at which it would furnish electric
lights to the town for period OF hive
years The figures appear elsewhere IN
statement given by Mr.. Adds, manager
for the company. With the statement
was a notice to the effect that the COM
pany felt that the town should enjoy
the reduction made in rates to users OF
current and that a discount of SS.43 would
be made on each months bills since the
first of January. The communication re-
garding the price of lights was laid upon
the table for the present as MIR. CALVIN
said that the figures given were ".way up
in the air." He did not believe that such
rates conformed to the recommendations
made by Alton d. Adams, the engineer
employed by the bailiffs and the board OF
trade to make an investigation of lighting
conditions, although he had not seen the
report made by the engineer. He, said
that he had understood that much lower
rate had been given by Mr.. Adams as pos
sible under the prevailing conditions. Mr..
Calvin thought the best thing to do in
the matter Of making contract. for street
lighting outside the village limits was to
wait until the board of bailiffs took up
the matter with the company. He said
that there was good reason to believe that
municipal plant might be installed In
Brattleboro.
A request from w. E. Cushman for
permission to move building through
North Main street to a lot near H. L: En-
erson's was discussed and it was left for
Mr.. Cushman to secure a temporary right
of way through the driveway of the Brad
lev estate that traffic might not be inter
rupted. A petition signed by Is physi-
clans asking that fifth-class licenses be

The prime minister afirms that he
possesses knowledge that the COM
mittee behind the movement spent
4O0, 900 pesetas ($s0,00 In giving the
nanifestants OF July 10 meal tickets
besides their railroad fares. After the
failure OF the manifestation, Cana
lejas says, the agitators organized

publicly for the first time-village
priests are the leaders"
He says he officially protested to the
bishop Of vittoria and to the Vatican,
but both OF them replied that II was
none OF their concern. He says he
will welcome interpretations OF the
Carlists, which will give him an OPP
pcrtunity to lay bare the detestable
conspiracy against civilization. the
king and the country"
Canalejas declares that he does not
propose TO abuse the power confided
in him, but that he will use II firmly
and resomtely TO establish a prepon-
derance of civil power. II Is his In
