Orcutt, whose death Is record ed by our Guilford correcpondent, was for many years a resident of Brattleboro, be ing a well-known shoemaker. He moved to Guilford about 20 years ago. The Swedish Congregational society held a very interesting and pleasant social at their church Wednesday evening. There was a large attendance, The Misses Thtin berg sang witli great acceptance, and there was also singing by a male quartet. Mr. Peterson, the psstor, gave an essay on music. Refreshments of ice cream, cake and coffee were served. The supreme court rendered its decision today in the case of Helen 15. Clark against the Employers' Liability Assurance com pany to recover accident insurance for the death of Llama A. Clark. The verdict of the county court was for the plaintiff to recover $10,000.

Lalleche of Northampton will come here about Sept. 1, to go into partnership with his brother, Arthur Lalleche, in the tailoring business. They will occupy room No. 4 in Crosby block. Arthur Lalleche has been cutter for Pratt, Wright & Co. about three years and Is thoroughly ac quainted with the business. His brother is also an experienced tailor. i Dr. H. D. Holton has received and has accepted an invitation to deliver an ad dress before the Virginia state medical so ciety, which will be in session Aug. 30 to Sept. 1. Dr. Holton will speak upon "Typhoid Fever." It was not many years ago that the society would have considered It out of place to invite a Vermontcr to ad dress them. Dr. Holton will probably be accompanied by Mrs. Holton. The St. Jo'insbury Republican of this -week says: "Dr. H. D. Holton of Brattle boro, member of the state board of health, gave a lecture befote the summer school Thursday morning on 'School Hygiene ' The lecture was not only a first class pro duction from a rhetorical point of view and very entertaining, hut it was full of sound common sense and suggestions emi nently practical and valuable to the teach er and all interested in the welfare of the child at school." A writer in the Norwood, Mass., News, In (lesctlbing a vacatiou trip through west ern Massachusetts and southern Vermont, has the following to say under the head ing "The Newton of Vermont:" At lencth I came to Hrattleboro, the Newton or Wellesley of southern Vermont. There are lew maim lactones in Hrattleboro. It is a city of many quiet, white-painted country houses. On the sidewalk in front of the Brooks House I obtained a view of the main street of one of the most beauti ful inland cities of New England. The social equality shown by the passing peo ple, the general evidence of a contented, prosperous community, with little silly ex cluslveness or shoddyism about it, was very pleasant to witness." Law Suit Involving $10. OO. A law suit involving $10.00 was heard befoie Justice .1. H. Merrifield Wednes day. It was the suit of W. H. Clouse of West Dumtuerston against Ernest L. Perry .of West Dummerston, employed by Ward A Douglass. The question hinged on an alarm clock valued at less than $1. The evidence of the plaintiff tended to show that the defendant's wife bought the clock at his store. The defendant was owing him over $9 so that the price of the cloek" brought the bill up to over $10. The plaintiff was unablo to collect the bill, so he trusteed for the amount. The defendant's testimony teuded to show that his wife went to the store after a clock and the plaintiff gave her a poor one, stating that when ho went to Brattle boro lie would get her a better one. He did not do so and when the trustee writ was served he immediately look the clock hack and Mr. Clouse accepted It. He claimed that he was therefore not liable to trustee process. The trial of the case was laughable as thero was an element of "small potatoes" through the whole pro ceeding, The court reserved decision in an effort to get the parlies to "come toother." Mr. and Mrs. Hcnrv Crosby will move soon Into the Campbell house with Mrs. E. H. Van Doom. Mr. and Mrs. Leon B. Coates of Provi dence, H.

V who was arrested last week by Chlef-of-PolIce Hall, who found him lying across the rail road track, was taken to Ncwfane jail Sat urday night by Sheriff Gordon in default of his fine for intoxication.

The selectmen rendered their decision Tuesday morning In matter of the petition for the removal of John Sargent's piggery at West Brottleboro. The decision was that the selectmen had no authority to or der the removal of the piggery. The mat ter comes under the jurisdiction of the board of health, and the petition should have been directed to the board. Presum ably another petition will be drawn up. Charles Harvey and Mrs. Hattie Bry ant, who eloped from Winchester, N. II., three months ago and were caught in Hrattleboro last week by Deputy Sheriff McClure, were let off with small penalty upon their tetttrn to Winchester. Har vey was released upon a promise to go to work and to pay all costs and expenses. The woman promised to get out of town and keep out, and she was set fiee. A movement has ben started among the young men for the support of John L. Knowlton for town representative. Mr. Knowlton has consented to have his name presented in the caucus Friday night. Mr. Knowlton has served his parly as a member of the town committee, and for years has maintained an Interest in politi cal and state affairs. None of the young men In the town are better equipped for the duties of representative. Capt. II. W. Hovey, who has been In command of Fort Ethan Allen since the Third cavalry went to the front, says that the First Vermont regiment will not ho mustered out of the service until the last of September, and it may be 00 or even 00 days before the boys reach home. It would not do to reduce our army too sud denly after our great victories, considering the work that lies ahead In all the islands which have come under the supervision of our government. "According to the government orders," says the Montpelier Areus, "the Vermont regiment is to be sent to Fort Ethan Allen, but It is believed this can be changed be fore they arrive so that they can camp on the old state camp grounds. Everything will be put into shape immediately to re ceive them. Col. Clark expects that it will be a week or 10 days before transpor tation can be secured for the boys to tret away from Chlckamauga. Ho will go down part way to meet them and ride home with them." Luclen Howe has arranged for a con cert by Mary Howe-Lavin to be given In Montpelier on Friday evening, Aug. ID. The Argus of that city says: "A musi cal event which will be awaited with uu usttal interest will be the song recital and concert to be given at the opera house on the evening of Friday, August 11), by Mary Howe-Lavin, Vermont's celebrated vocillst. The concert will be under the auspices of the ladles' auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. Mary Howe-Lavin Is soon to leave for Europe and this will probably be the last chance to hear her sing before she takes her departure." Concerning Electric Itallroaris, The Amherst Record of Wednesday contained a column article concerning electric railroads In which it said that the Amherst it Sunderland road, which has just completed Its first year, has come out with a balance on the wrong side of the ledger. In order to Insure a profit here after It Is suggested that the road be ex tended to the "notch" in the Holyoke mountain range to connect with the Holy oke street railroad, thereby establishing direct communication with Springfield, which would open up one of the finest ex cursion routes in Massachusetts. In re gard to the Northampton & Amherst road, of which E. C. Crosby Is one of the lead ing lights, the Record says that the com pany have not given up hope of a success ful Issue of their undertaking. They mean, If possible, to build a road between Northampton and Amherst, the only ob stacle being the refusal of Amherst to grant Ihetn a franchise. It is probable that they will make another effort at an early date to secure the franchise through the medium of a town meeting. If It was generally understood that the Interests of the local road would be fully protected and that the two roads would be run In harmony the opposition would lose much of its strength, j Cards arc out for the wedding of Helen, daughter of Mrs. J. II. Dunklce of West Hrattleboro and John rhclan or ;now lone elty , which will take place In the Congre gational church at West Hrattleboro, Sc; - temucr l.

Flits, gave a birthday party to 10 or 12 of his young friends Tuesday afternoon In honor of his fourth birthday anniversary.

Insolvent, will sell by public auc- lion at the county clerk's office at 2 o'clock p m., Sept. 3, a policy of $.)000 Issued by the Mutual Life Insurance company on the life of Mr. Adams. The policy matures June 1, ItlKI. It was assigned to tjliernun A Jenue as collateral security. The Republican voters of Hrattleboro sliould remember mat ttie beplember elec tion is merely a ratification meeting and they should reallzo the necessity of coming out to the caucus on Friday of this week.

The horse attached to one of the F it M, E. grocery wagons, took fright at an elec trie car this morning while standing in front of J. L. Martin's houe, and tan striking the wagon against an electric light pole and damaging it considerably. One wheel of the vehicle was demolished and one side crushed. The horse was stopped In front of H. D. Harris's by Patrick Dris lanc. The Indications are that Col. Haskina will receive strong and united support for renouiinatlon as town representative. It Is recognized by all that he did the state valuable service In the session of lM)d, and that he Is for that reason specially equipped to continue such service this year, whllo his return to the legislature would doubtless assure him and his town the honor of the Speakership. O. F. Knowlton of Windsor came Tues day to take possession of the American Hoiise which he has leased of Ilarrie G. Pratt, the present proprietor. Mr. Knowl ton was to have taken possession Monday but was delayed in getting here. He has had much experience In the business. He was at one time proprietor of the Com mercial House at Bellows Falls.

Walsh, the Vermont Wheel club champion, won the one-mile professional handicap race at the national meet of the League of American Wheelmen at Indian apolis Wednesday. Walsh started from the 1 ID-yard mark. Bald and Taylor started from scratch and rode a game rare. On the turn out of the home stretch Oen Kimble went down and Tom Butler rode over him and was thrown. Walsh, from 11! yards, worked up to the head of the field and made a red hot fin ish in that position. The selectmen have ordered that the new iron bridge be fitted with grooved rails for the use of "the Hrattleboro Street Rail way company. The grooved rail differs from others in having a broad Ilat surface with a groove for the flange of the wheel to run in. The brick of the pavement is laid snug with the rail, so that there is al most no break In the pavement of the bridge, and teams and bicycles can cross the rails safely at almost any angle. This rail Is the one now laid In nearly every city on most paved --treets, except those most heavily used, and has come to be re garded as a necessity in many places. The street railway companies at first opposed It bitterly, on account of the fancied incon venience of tlie lodging of snow and Ice in the groove so as to prevent the llange from holding, but It has been demonstrated that it is much more convenient than the old style of rails, Lawyer George H. Hltt was in Winches ter last night to defend Edward Frink, who was arrested for drunkenness. The evidence of the prosecution tended to show that on Sunday night Frink was intoxi cated and that ho entered church, stag gered up the aisle and took a teat; that after he had been seated a few minutes he spoke out, and a few minutes later he staggered out of the church. Frink claimed that he was not Intoxicated and that he behaved as anyone should, except that he whispered to someone near him in appreciation of the music which the choir had just rendered. It appeared that the complaint was signed by Mary Bosquett, and Mr. Hltt brought out the fact that the Bosquett woman a year ago accused Frink of bastardy with her. The court thought she was not the proper person to sign the complaint, and rendered a verdict of not guilty. Heath of Sirs. William Klmomli.

This concert occurrs this evening. Miss Maud Essex gave an enjoyable party to about 100 of her friends Friday evening at the home of Mrs. L. K. Fuller, In honor of the Misses Oillan of Philadel phia, Penn., who are the guests of Miss Essex. The evening's entertainment con sisted of a short musical program in which Mrs. McLean, Mrs. J. (J.

The work is in charge of J. Hen ry llolden. Tlie lot has been excavated to the bottom of the caskets and the cas kets have been arched over with cement and rubble stone.

Mr. Kelley was formerly night watchman at the Estey Organ factories. He went to Northfield last spring and from there he went to Enfield, N. II., where he had a sister. He returned to Northfield the first of last week. Mr. Kelley had been 111 with consumption for about a year. lie was a son-in-law of Patrick Baker of Brat tleboro. He leaves a widow and three children in Brattleboro. Mr. Kelley was a good workman, and was one of the first foremen employed on the narrow guage railroad by the Central Vermont com pany.

Morse, the well known painter. The price paid by Mr. Morse was $9,500. This block Is lo cated next to the Herrlck it Boyden block and nas three tenements up stairs and three stores down stairs. Mr. Morse will repair the property and will put In modern plumbing throughout, making the block up to date In every respect, and he will use it for rental purposes. Mr. Morse buys the property as an Investment, knowing that real estate Is now at bed rock, and he nas improved an opportunity which Is sel dom offered to get desirable property In the business part of the village. Indications (hat Mr. Crosby Will Win. In commenting upon the failure of the Amherst it Sunderland electric railroad to show a profit as the result of Its first year's business the Northampton Herald says that Amherst people have enjoyed the iso lation of their little electric street railroad about long enough and the ultra-conserva lives, who have maintained such stolid opposition to the "encroachment" of a lino from the county seat, are now nearly ready to offer a welcoming hand to the projectors of the Northampton and Am herst road. The road needs an outlet by connection with some larger town. This development In the situation was foreseen by the Incorporators of the Northampton & Amherst company and they stand ready to build the connecting road as soon as Amherst grants them the franchise to build to the centre of that town. "The promoters of the new company have from the beginning maintained that the new line would Increase rather than decrease the business of the Amherst road. They desire to cooperate in every possible way with the Amherst company, and Indica tions point to an amicable adjustment of the matter, and to the granting of a fran chise to the new company at an early date."

They have not all been to division hospital; some have been ttcated in quarto s. They are as follows: Corpotals A. V. D. Piper, and II. Swift, Bert Ware, G. C. Klne.M. J. Lynch, Geo. Martin, and Perley Holtnas are at division hospital. Those being treated In quarters are E. C. Bingham, John Long, Thomas Lynch and two Hins dale boys. With one exception they havo malarial fever, and all are on the gain. Bert Ware has a very mild attack of typhoid fever. Mrs. Ware is fully aware of lhl, and in no case is there any need of worry on the part of friends. If thee was I should feel It my duty to at once notify them. There are others Indisposed, but not so sick as the boys mentioned and like the latter, are receiving the full bene fit of the money so kindly sent us by the ladles, In soups, chicken, beef lea, fruit, ginger ale, etc., each day. Peter Ctttntnlngs's case is not as serious as at first thought and as reported. He Is with the company unw, but not doing auy duty, and In all probability will soon re ceive his discharge. Sergt.

Mnne, It, IHeil from Heart DUease Canted by Overexertion. The death of Walter II. Stone, 18, took place at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Henry M. Whlttier, Wednesday evening. The boy had been ill only since Monday, the cause of his death being heart trouble caused by over exertion. Young Stone, who had not been used to riding a wheel this year, rode to Putney and back last week and the ride "was the probable cause of his illness and death. He was the oldest son of Charles W.

Young Stone was to have finished his course In the Springfield High school next year. He had worked In a hotel in Spring field during the past summer.

They ransacked the house completely for ar ticles of value, overhauling many trunks on the upper floors. After going through the various rooms in the house a visit was made to the wine cellar, and the empty champagne and beer bottles left behind showed that a celebration was indulged iu after the work had been completed.

He was a member of Congress from the Third Massachusetts district tluee terms. ltev. C. O. Hay will Iteslen. It is learned with deep regret that Rev. C. O. Day, now with tlie First Vermont regiment as chaplain, has made known to the officers of his church his determina tion to resign his pastorate. This will mean that Mr. Day will not return to Brat tleboro to resume his work with the Cen tre chnrch. The formal tender of his res ignation will he made Sept. 1, aud he will Insist on Its acceptance. Mr. Day's pri mary reason for this step is that after the peculiarly trying experiences of the past few years, he feels the need of a year of absolute freedom from responsibility or worry. He has, moreover, been with the church 13 yeats, and he believes that a new man would take up Its work and lay hold upon the people In ways not open to him. Ills departure will be cause for unfeigned re gret to the whole Brattleboro community. Deafness Cannot he Cured lly local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an In flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Kustachlan Tube.

Gray Estey of the First Ver mont regiment arrived In Hrattleboro on the late train Wednesday night from Camp Thomas, Chlckamauga. He is home on a 10 days' furlough in order to recover from an atlask of malarial fever. Maj, Estey left Chlckamauga Tuesday morning and was met in New i ork by Gen. and Mrs. Kstey Mat. hstey sas about 30 members or Company I are ill, Lieut. Curtln being In a worse condition than any of the others. Liem. curtln is ill with Uphold fever anil he Is not yet out of danger, although it is probable that he will come out all right. Three or four of the boys may not be able to come home at prescn', but it cannot be stated definitely that they will not. in tne whole Vermont regiment there are about 250 who are unfit for scivlce, and It is Maj. Estey's belief that 200 of them will have to be carried to the station to take the cars for homo. The boys do not suffer to any great ex tent as the sickness Is largely malarial fever. Those afflicted with It aro very weak, and their nourishment falls to give them strength. It will require careful treatment to bring them back to perfect health. Just when the boys will be mustered out of government service cannot be told, but there is reason to believe that orders have been issued to Maj. Jocelyn to begin the work of mustering out at soon as possible after the troops reach Fort Ethan Allen. The process of mustering out will prob ably occupy several days, as there Is con siderable to bo done and the captains of the different companies are unfamiliar with the work. Each soldier has an ac count with the government which will have to be settled. He has wages to be drawn, his clothing must be accounted for, his car fare and mileage must be figured out, and there are many other details to be decided. Maj. Estey says that notwithstanding reports to the contra, y the boys as a whole will be exceedingly glad to get home and that they have no desire to remain for the purpose of doing garrison duty in Cuba or any oilier Island of the West Indies.
