LOCAL OVERFLOW.

Charles p. Pitcher, &C, who died in
West Keene Tuesday, was a native of
Stoddard, y. H., and was a meat dealer
in that town many years. He moved
from Stoddard to Brattleboro and after
remaining here a few years with his fam
lily went to Keene, where he had been
a farmer and milk dealer. He served
two years in the Keene common coun-
ell and had been a member of the board
of education of the union school district
He was a prominent member of the
Grange and of the Odd Fellows. He is
survived by his wife. three sons and two
daughters.
An amusing illustration of how facts
sometimes become distorted is contained
in the following extract from railroad
story in the Providence Sunday Journal:
The Vermont fight was foreshadowed in
Rhode Island by President Mellen's dec
laration before the Rhode Island general
assembly last year that he would take
care of the Grand Trunk outside of Rhode
Island. The first move in this direction
was the effort before the Massachusetts
railroad commission to substitute a char
ter of the New Ravens for line from
Palmer to Southbridge and certain track
age of the Grand Trunks charter. This
failed The next attempt to take care of
Grand Trunk outside of Rhode Island is
the effort to cut the Central Vermont line
al Brattleboro by asking the Vermont
Legislature to give TO the Boston and
Maine the Central Vermont property In
Brattleboro in return for certain expendi-
lures including the gift of a public park
In Brattleboro. and the further attempt
to add several million dollars to the cost

tional construction on the Grand Trunk

ter should be granted to the Boston &
Maine road to come in here.
l.. Il. Holden. chairman of the com
mittee, said Bratteboro people were not
seeking to injure the Central Vermont.
We want 1t to have every facility 1t has
today i'm Brattleboro, but we want room
for two tracks here. He quoted Mr..
Stckney. the Boston e Maine attorney,
as saying that Mr.. Crosby would be left
on the Central Vermont tracks. lie also
spoke of the need of a large petition to
show what the people of Brattleboro
wanted.
G. c. Fits reviewed the situation
briefly and said a year ago neither road
cared a rap about Brattleboro. He said
that in the criticisms offered on both
sides we were not living up to the reso-
lutions passed at the second town meet
ing, to see that both railroads were treat
ed fairly in the charters they are asking
for in the Legislature. Mr.. Fits told
briefly, but forcibly, how the two rail-
road companies had discovered Brattle-
boro and of the dazzling overtures they
had made.
Mr. Fits in closing said there was
not voice in town against having a
new road coming in and new depot
that we want fine new terminal and
we want to see Mr.. Crosby protected
He thought the Vermont Valley had not
come up to the mark in taking care Of
Mr.. Crosby. He thought this a critical
time for Brattleboro and that every
thing should be done in supporting the
committee in doing everything they can
in securing both roads. He closed by
offering a resolution, which was seconded
on motion of Mr.. Bacon, and when 1t had
been adopted the meeting adjourned
The resolution was as follows:
Resolved that the action of the com
mittee of the town be endorsed by this
meeting, and that they be instructed to
further represent the town as in their
Judgment may be desirable to secure fair
| treatment for all interests and secure
such provision as will amply and fairly

Persons sending money orders will do
well to save the receipts which they re-
ceive at the sending office in the future
Beginning Jan. l, the offices sending or
ders ceased sending slips to the receiving
offices notifying them that money orders
had been made out against them. The
receipt is the only means by which a
money order may be traced. Registered
letters are now "blanketed' when there
is more than one letter to a place, and if
q letter Is not i'm the postofice several
minutes before the mail is closed the
chances are that it will have to wait until
the next mail, as the clerks will not have
time to undo the "blankct' in order to
put in one letter The blanket" is SINH
