LAND OFFICE BUSINESS
Activity Among Dealers, and Cornell and Hall By
 the Ears.

There are evidences of unwonted activity in the realm of real estate, here abouts, and the D. B. Cornell company is undergoing a transfer nation in per sonnel, as regards it's local representa- tives. For some days past it has been evident that there was something doing in the way of discord between MT. Cor nell and MT. George w. Hall, his repre- sentative here and in Falls Village and assistant editor of MT. Cornelfs news. paper, "Everyhome." The exact cause of the disagreement is not easy to ascer- tain, but there is all kinds of loose and irresponsible talk of friction over cer- tain deals and contracts and contract stipulations, and while nothing definite has been given out, as to the real facts in the case. it is intimated that the affair is likely to get into litigation and some interesting developments ensue-unless the matter is settled amicably through other channels. e'..
 The breech seems to be complete, as Mr. Hall has severed all connection with the Cornell company and Mir. Cornell has taken possession of all the cores pondence in Mir. Halls office in the Oan- field block-a performance. by the way, which threatened to still further compli- cate the matter, as MT. Hall claimed there was 8 quantity of his personal and private letters among the documents taken. These, however, were sub sequently returned. MT. Cornell also caused the removal of the Cornell sign from the front of MT. Hall s office in Falls Village, and has engaged MT. William Lynott as the Falls Village agent of the company, with headquarters in the office formerly occupied by L. W, Baird. .t
 It is understood that Justice George w. Ford will associate himself with the Cornell company as Canaan represents tive. In the meantime MT. A. F. Briggs, who has had much experiences in that line, has opened an office in the Canfeld block for the buying and sell ing of real estate, and announces that he has 100 farms and village properties for sale, all through the Berkshires. and il IS understood that he has negotiated with MT. Hall, to take charge of the office. It surely looks like lively times among the real estate men.

 Ceremonies.

Judge Ford and Dr. Ross married an Albany young couple. in Ford's music store. Thursday evening-Mr. Oatman David Blanchard and. Miss Margaret Davidson. The Judge tied the knot and took the $2 and the doctor posed ss bridesmaid and delivered the charge. After the ceremony had been performed the bridegroom, in a busIness-ike way. asked:
 Whats the damage2"
 "This isn't damage suit" said the Judge, "but the law allows me any where from 8 to $5 for performing an operation of this kind"
 The bride and groom exchanged glances and the bride sidled up behind a piano, stopped over and extracted from somewhere little wad of money. There was a whispered consultation, which the soft hearted Judge interrupted, by say. ing:
 However. I generally leave 1t to the parties most interested and take what they feel like giving"
 The couple looked relieved. "How would couple dollars strike your We ain't got much," sad the groom.
 "That'll be all right, sir," replied His Honor, accepting the crumpled bill.
 The couple then lined up in front oi Dr. Ross, as if expecting some sort oi supplementary proceeding, and the Judge, noting the position, sOlemnlJ observed: -..s
 My associate will now give you appropriate admonition.
 Dr. Ross looked dazed for a moment but took the cue, gulped down a candy "frog in your throat" that he had beer sucking. and said

AND THEY WERE MARRIED
Strange Lovers from Mass
 achusetts Defy High Cost of Living.

An unusual couple called on Town Clerk Allyn Fuller, Monday night, shortly before g o'clock to procure marriage license. The bride elect was somewhat lame, but aoquacious, and the groom evidently & laboring man in anything but aff1uent circumstances.
 After the usual questions, MT. Fuller issued the license, when the couple pro- oeeded to the rooms of Justice Ford. The justice declined to perform the marriage ceremony, but directed them to Granite avenne where, he says, he told the par, there were ministers of all denominations. They went to Rev. Harry Cornford's, and told him Justice Ford had sent them to him and request ed hlm to marry them. They were subjected to a rigid catechism by the clergyman, which brought out the in, formation that they had come from father had ordered the woman out of her home, and driven the man off with her.

 Mr. Cornford married them, and they went to the Canfield Hotel, where thelr story enlisted the sympathy of Land lord Baker, who took them in, and signifed his willingness to shelter and feed them until the man could find em- ployment, They are evidently devot- ed to each other. and happy as pair of turtle doves.

CAuCUSES NEXT WEEK
Bull Moosers May Choose n. R. Whit
 ford or Dewey Garfield.

The final caucuses will be held next week The republicans will meet in Town Hall, Wednesday at two o'clock D. m., and undoubtedly nominate Will liam J. Reel for representative. No forecast as to justices of the peace is available but it is thought there will be little if any change in the old justices slate
 The democrats will caucus in Town Hall St 3 o'clock the same day. At presene> writing it seems settled that they will nominate A. A. Hubbard for representative, as there is no opposition in sight.
 The bull moose party will be in the arena, with bells on. Their caucus will be held on Tuesday evening, Oct. 8, at 7 o'clock So far as can be ascertained, no definite slate has been fixed up, but among the prominent mocsers certain names have been discussed as likely to be brought forward in the caucus Dewey Garfield may be persuaded to ac- cept the nomination for representative in the event of Henry R. Whitford's positive refusal to accept, though the latter was the only candidate thought of when the movement was started locally. For justices of the peace various names have been under consideration, includ- ing Abel G. Stevens, Rufus H. Whitford, Charles A. Lindell and Edward W. War ner. There may be an effort made on the part of some of the less aggressive of the progressives to put A. A. Hub bard, the prospective democratic candi- date for representative, on their. ticket. Estimates of the leaders as to. the local strength of the bull moose party in Ca- naan. continue high, some speculation claiming 100 votes. r The bull moose senatorial convention for this district will be held in Canaan Town Hall, Saturday forenoon of this week, at II o'clock. Among the candi dates talked of for the senatorial nomi- nation are Edmund Brown of Norfolk Jerome Alexander of Winsted, and Will liam W. Lowerre of Colebrook.

Grand Opera In English.

"Grand opera in English has certainly become popular" said Wallace Pyke, one of the well known tenors with the Aborn English Grand Opera Company" " and it's popularity has been made with. out fuss, snobbery or nonsense. There is nothing in the world which has been the subject of so much bunoomb and pretense, as grand opera and one of the greatest fallacies ever concocted con. corning grand opera. is that it cannot be sung in English. This has been pretty we'll exploded now, and I believe the day IS not far distant, when all of the grand operas in this country, whether they are sung at the Metropol- itan in New York. or elsewhere, will be gwen in English, and indeed, the Metropolitan has already made start in that direction.
