DRUNK RAN AMUCK
Howard Bailey Smashes Furniture and
 Assaults Family.

Deputy Sheriff Rhoades was sent for in hurry, Saturday night to go to Amesville to prevent murder if mur. der had not already been committed, or to stop a wholesale slaughter if the actual bu6chery was under way. As the scene of carnage was just over tho line, in the town of Salisbury, Consta- ble Hornpeck of Falls Village was without authority, hence the appeal to Sheriff Rhoades.
 The officer went to Falls Village, se- cured the asSiStanc" of Constable Horn. beck, not knowing but it might be necessary to quell riotnus mob, and proceeded to the Bailey domain, whence the trouble was reported. When the officers got there the skirmish was all over and the instigatur had been SC curely bound with ropes and deposited in a corner to await their coming.
 It appears that young Howard Bailey had gone home, ugly drunk. and pro. ceeded to assert himself by smashing furniture and assaulting his parents and wife. The noise of his boisterous onslaught attracted the attention of certain neighbors, who rushed to the scene and gave battle to the young des- perado. After stiff fight they sue. ceeded in overpowering him, and then secured him with several yards of clothesline, with which he was tied and bound until he resembled bale of hay-and thus the officers found him. He had been severely handled by the rescuing party, and had a bad cut on his arm, the result of smashing through a window. He was brought to Canaan and placed in the lookup and taken Monday to Salisbury for trial.

"IUST FOR MEMORIES"
Nation Pauses to Think Of Dead and
 Living Heroes.

Nation Pauses to Think Of Dead and
 Living Heroes.
 Five minutes for memories" on Memorial day is observed more and more generally in the United States, especially by the members of the G. A. R. and similar organizations through out the entire country. For five min. utes those who love the memories of the men who fought for their country stand uncovered and pay tribute.
 As the custom has been for several years, when the tribute to the dead was paid, SO will it be this year. All the flags on public and many private build ings will be lowered at half mast, bells will toll each thirty seconds during that time, and those who honor the memories of the men who died that the Union might be saved will, as in the past, stand uncovered.
 A specimen order of the commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Re- public issued in connection with this custom, reads thus:
 At l2 noon on Memorial day the flag will be lowered to half mast and so kept until 12:05. During these five minutes all comrades will stand uncov- cred as a mark of respect to the memor- ies of those who have died.

Oiling the Roads.

The streets are being thoroughly oiled this week, the state oil having arrived last week. The oil is being distributed under the state inspector by the local Highway Commissioner, "Tom" But Ter, with .his efficient lieutenant, Billy" Mcclure. At present, as usual when the oil is fresh, the stuff is tracked on the sidewalks and into the houses, although sand is sprinkled on the state roads, over the oil. Appar- ently there is no provision for sanding the oil on the towns portion of roads, where the tracking hss become a posi- tive nuisance and aa abomination to the cleanly housewife. However, the dust is not hying-which is some con- Pensation.

CORNWAlL'S FINE CHORUS
Delightful Concert Under Direction of
 Wm. B. Perry, Jr.

On Thursday evening, May 20, the concert. assisted, as is its custom, by the Boston Festival Orchestral Club which provides excellent support. The program included two glees, in which the tone quality, enunciation and balance were remarkably good; Gounod's we'll known lamentation, "Gallia," in which the chorus dis. played brilliancy and refinement, and ended with a work of Coleridge- Taylor's called "Kubla Khan," per formed for the first time in America on this occasion.
 This latter work is full of charm, often reminding one of the composers "Hiawatha" music, abounding in pleasing melodies and exceedingly rich in the beauty of its orchestration. The chorus handled the changes of tempo and the various difficult modula- tions in a highly creditable manner, and sang with a good tone.
 The general impression of the "Kubla Khan," which the composer considered to be one of his best choral works, was a most favorable one. The soprano solo in "Gallia' was sung by Miss Edmond with good taste and an appreciation of the feeling.
 Miss Lampman, contralto, was the soloist for the "Kubla Khan" and de- lighted the audience with her rich voice.
 The chorus is to be congratulated ofi its good work, and Cornwall on possess ing such worthy chorus, of which many larger community might well be proud.
 MT. Wm. B. Perry, Jr.. of Lakeville, the conductor of the chorus for the past five seasons, is receiving many compli- ments on the excellence of. the choral singing which under his training, is steadily improving.
 Many were present from Norfolk, Winsted, Torrington, Goshen, Sharon, Canaan and Kent. The program fol lows:
 Overture to "Zanetta, "
 Daniel-F. A. Auber 70 Hush Thee, My Babie,''
 Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan
 Four Part Song. My Heart at Thy Dear Voice."

Ives Joins Ross.

H. B. Ives and George Simpson, of New York, and Dr. George Corwin, of Canaan, started by auto Sunday morning, for the Adirondacks, to join Dr. Ross, who is spending a couple of
 weeks at Lake Chatiemac, where he has camp and bungalow. They will remain few days, returning probably today. In the meantime they hope to capture the big black bear that gave Simpson a surprise on the last occasion of his visit to that wild territory. Dr. Ross will return about the frs t of June. From communications received from him by some of his Canaan friends it would seem that he found his camp showed under, and spent the first few days of his vacation shoveling paths from his bungalow to the fishing grounds. He employed a steam drill contractor from Glens Falls to bore an artesian we'll through the ice in Lake Chatiemac, and at the first attempt the borer went down forty feet before striking water. The next day there was thaw, and water was found only ten feet below the surface. Dr. Ross started to fish for trout through the hole, but us it was only six inches in diameter he was unable to haul some of the fish through it, and waited for another thaw, which reduced the ice to l five feet four inches, when he hired lumberman to saw square hole of suf- ficient dimensions to allow the passage ! of the whoppers that grabbed his hook. At the last report there was no ice at | all in the lake.
