THE TIcHENoR HOUSE
Dr.. Day correots Some Errors Con-
cerning II

Editor of the Banner. Several err
rors are contained in the item In
Mondays Banner respecting the old
Tichenor house, which is to be open
ed during the week of the pageant by
the Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton, and as it is well to keep his
tory straight | will correct several
statements in the item in question.
II is stated that the house was
built in 1893. AS a matter of fact
the house, which was considered al
most palatian in appearance and ap.
pointment in early times, was built
in 1888 The Tichenor house is made
mention of by John A. Graham, LII.
D., of London, who visited Benning-
ton in 1897. and on his return to Eng
land wrote what was entitled "a Des-
criptiye Sketch OF the State OF Yer
mont" which was published in the
same year and dedicated to the Duke
of Montrose, as follows: moses Rob
inson has superb brick house in
Bennington, as also Jonathan Robin
son Mr.. Dewey and Mr. Smith have
very elegant houses. but for real
taste in architecture Isaac Tichenor's
wood house Is the best laid out and
executed, according to the size of it,
Of any in Bennington county"
Tchenor settled in Bennington in
l777 and lived in a small house,
which was subsequently used as an
office a few rods west of the present
house. 1t was just northwest of this
small house that David Redding was
hanged in ITS.
The item states that Mr. Tichenor
held the Office of governor for twelve
terms. It was only eleven terms.
The Washington memorial wall pa
per in the upper hall was hung in
1910, not in 1919 as the item affirms
This is not written in a spirit of crit
lcism, but simply to give the facts in
the case.

ASKS FOR INQUIRY
into SOURCE OF
QUANOT FIRE.
C. N. Powers Suspects That
Property Was Over Insured
WRITES TO SELECTME N
Fire Occurred at Midnight July %
Mr. Powers Appears for Own
err Of Building Burned

The town selectmen have received
letter from G. N Powers requesting
an investigation into the $1,000 fire
which broke out in the fruit store OF
Otto Quandt at North and Pleasant
streets on the night of Friday, July
%. The selectmen will take action
on the communication at their regu-
lar monthly meeting tomorrow after.
noon.
AS the origin of the fire has not yet
been determined and because the in
surance carried by the store-keeper
is alleged to be largely in excess of
the value of the stock and fixtures,
Mr. Powers believes that an investi-
cation should be made The value of
the stock Is fixed at some $500 while
the fixtures were probably worth
about 800 These articles were Gov
ere by $500 and 5000 worth of insur.
ance respectively.
The insurance was issued by the
Continental Fire Insurance company
through its home office.
One of the selectmen said this
morning that Mr.. Powers will be
summoned to appear before the board
and asked to tell why he believes the
IRE TO have been OF an incendiary or

DEATH OF BISHOP MALLALIEU
New England Methodism Robbed Of
Its Leading Figure


The death yesterday of Bishop VIII
lard Francis Mallaieu, 50, at his
home in Auburndale robs New Eng.
land Methodism OF its leading figure
and ends a long career of splendid
citizenship throughout which his
voice was heard in vigorous tones in
behalf OF good causes and in I'M
daunted attack upon whatever seem
ed to him to be OF menace. AS the
grand old man" of his church he had
been the recipient In late years OF
many expressions of respect and ven
Grafton, but beyond recognition of all
his concrete services the appreciation
OF his glowing and inspiring person
atty was note that was never left
unsounded. He Is said to have been
probably the oldest minister In point
OF years OF service in the Methodist
Episcopal church. For a year past
his health had been gradually failing,
and while no definite ailment appear
ed It had been realized that life Of
exceeding activity was nearing its
end. Yet through n greater part even
OF this year his activity continued in
spite of lessening physical strength.
Bishop Mallalieu was born in the
town OF Sutton. Worcester county,
December II. 1928. and was a descen-
dant OF Francis Mallalieu, a Hugue-
not, whom tradition reports as fleeing
from France soon after the massacre
of 81. Bartholomew and as being one
of a company who improved and per-
lected the earlier wooden industries
OF Yorkshire, Eng. In 1889 the IL
years old boy who was afterward TO
be bishop, experienced, according TO
his biographers. a conversion OF such
defniteness and thoroughness that II
Influenced profoundly all his long and
useful career He was graduated
with honors from Wesleyan in 1857.
In 1858 he was admitted to the New
England Methodist Episcopal confer
ence and was stationed at Grafton In
October. 1858 he was married TO Miss
Eliza +. Atkins. daughter OF Captain
George Atkins of Sandwich, who sur
wives him. Among his subsequent
charges were the Mount Bellingham

church in Charlestown and the Brom'
field church In Boston. In 1871 the
appointment was to Trinity church In
Worcester. and after some years In
Boston again Or. Malallieu filled a va.
oancy in Trinity church In Springfield
from October. 1875 to April 1876. In
1852 he was elected to the presiding
eldership. lie was chosen to repre-
sent his conference In the general
conference In 1872. 1880 and 1884 and
In 1884 the general conference conse'
Grated him as bishop His FIRST
Episcopal residence was New Orleans
from 1884 to 1892 and during these
years he was distinguished for his I'm
firing zeal for the oolored people and
he more than any one else was res.
ponsible for the establishment OF
