Temple returned from his European Journey Saturday afternoon and occupied the Baptist pulpit Suuday. The members of the Sunday school had planned to meet him at the station, but gave up the idea when it was learned that he would not arrive as early as was expected.

The evening sermon was upon "Battlements" reference being made to Shakspere's houso at Stratford-on-Avon.

Sumner Vinton, a former resident of BratAcboro and a graduate of Brown university, delivered his lecture on Burma to a fair sized audience in the Methodist church Monday evening. The lecturer was clothed In a Burmese costume and later in that of a Buddhist priest, both of which were carefully described. Although the lecture was devoted principally to the country of Burma and the customs of its people, several views of England.Glbraltar, the Mediterranean sea and different coaling stations between England and Burma were shown and described. Views of Calcutta and of Rangoon, where Mr. Vinton's mother has charge of a Baptist mission school, were dwelt upon at some length.

The Utter part of the lecture was devoted to a de scription of the Karens, a people distinct from the In their customs and religious belief. Over 100 dissolving vlows were used to illustrate the lecture. A tally-ho party from the lake came over to attend the band concert Wednesday night. E. C.

The Chicago Advance, the leading organ of the Congregational denomination In the West, printed upon Its cover leaf last week a portrait of Ilex. John C. Holbrook, D.

accompanied by a sketch of his life, which tells of his birth in Brattleboro, his beginning here In a business career with his father as a publisher and bookseller. his removal to Boston, and his final entry upon the woik of the ministry in the year itH. it is a singular fact that Dr. Holbrook never studied for the ministry, in the ordinary acceptance of that term, but his course of life and interest in religious affairs had well equipped him for this work. Dr.

Holbrook is 88 years old, five years older man bis brother Frederick, the honored ex-governor of Vermont. In me best sense he is a nestor of the faith. He now lives In Stockton, Calif. Mr. Robinson of East Concord.

N. the inventor and patentee of a new hose attachment called a deluge set, gave a public test of his invention in front of Gal- vln's store Tuesday night. He fully dem onstrated his claim that by throwing a stream in a solid, straight line, without a revolving motion, it could be thrown a greater distance than by the ordinary noz zle. A 2-inch stream with his attachment was thrown 103 feet and ten inches while with the ordinary attachment a 1 1-8 inch stream was thrown 155 feet. A test with steamer No.

4 and the Estey steamer was made Wednesday morning with satisfactory results. In a little "brush" between the two steamers No. 4 threw 20 feet the farthest. Two lines of hose are attached to a hydrant and by means of a "Siamese" are united to throw one stream, thus in creasing the pressure and lightening the inction. me uaiims agree mat the village should buy the set unless the insurance rates are lessened.

Rev. F. J. Parry, who was called to Brattleboro for the funeral of Mr. Stoddard, received a warm welcome from the many friends which he met during the two days spent here.

Mr. Parry is evidently very successful and very happy in his work in New York. His church, which is the Alexander avenue Baptist church, situated in what used to be known as the Harlem district, comprises a large body of members and attendants, and the people, mostly of moderate means, respond cheerfully to an me uemanas maue upon mem In behalf of the church and for charitable enterprises. The church edifice occupies a very desira- Diesiie, dui anew building is needed and one will be erected as soon as the requisite $50,000 is in hand. In a territory which contains a population of about 100,000 souls mere are oniy tour evangelical churches, and among the plans which Mr.

Parry has in view is the establishment of missions and chapels at two points in this district wuere prosperous and self-sustaining churches can undoubtedly be built. Mrs. Parry's health is now very good. Frank Parry finished successfully in June his first year In the College of the City of New York. He now has a very favorable place in the general freight office of the New York, New Haven nartford railroad company, and may remain there for a year.

The Boston papers of last Friday exploited in big headings and a portrait of the respondent husband, the divorce suit brought by Mrs. Alexlne D. Hadlock against her husband, narvey D. Hadlock, one of the most prominent of Boston and New York lawyers. The libel is based on statutory grounds and names as co-respondents one New York and one Brooklyn woman.

When visited by a reporter and asked about the suit he answered: "Yes, It Is true; and you can put It down right now that there is no woman on the top of the earth that had more occasion to do so. For 31 years, up to last August, we had lived happily together, and she has borne me beautiful children. Our domestic relations have always been pleasant until last August. Then I took a trip from New York down to the yacht races with a woman, who is a well-knnwn lyric singer. Then there was the devil to pay," and Mr.

Hadlock's eyes rolled about the room. "The charge is made, and I will not contest It." Physically Mr. Hadlock is a man of very striking appearance, possessing a rotundity of figure and a general demeanor, once seen not soon to be forgotten, ne Is well remembered in Brattleboro as one of the lawyers In the celebrated Knlbb's valve patent case. Once, at least, when he came here on this case he was accom panied by Mrs. Hadlock.

He Is due to appear here again in September before Judge Wheeler, when there will be a hearing up-on the master's accounting In this case. IN DEATH NOT DIVIDED. MR. AND MRS. EDWARD A.

CONNECTICUT AFTERNOON. Dead Over Night Before the Tragedy Wns Known. Story of the Saddest Event in the Edward A. Tyler, proprietor of the Brooks House, and his wife were drowned in the Connecticut river Wednesday afternoon in tho deep, still water just above the Chesterfield suspension bridge. The circumstances of their death possess a peculiar and almost a romantic interest, and it is safe to say that no other similar event has so saddened the whole community.

When the facts first became known during Thursday forenoon It seemed impossible that they could be true, and that these two young people, so full of life and happiness, had met their deatli almost a day's length before. Mr. Tyler had hired for the summer the J. T. Hildreth cottage, which stands in the pine grove above the suspension bridge, on a steep bluff overlooking the river.

The place is familiar to very many people who have been in the habit of rambling "up the railroad track." At this cottage Mr. and Mrs. Tyler had been In the habit of spending many of the summer afternoons. Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock they left the hotel to drive up there, taking bathing suits with them, and saying that they meant to bathe in the river. When they did not return In the evening it was presumed that they had driven up to the Glidden farm, as they had often done.

At 9 o'clock Mr. Eddy, the clerk, called up the Glidden house by telephone and asked If Mr. and Mrs. Tyler were there. The person, a domestic of the family, who answered tho telephone, apparently did not understand the question clearly at first, but finally answered that they were there and she would call them.

Mr. Eddy answered that this was not necessary, as he simply wished to know If the Tylers were there. The domestic undoubtedly understood the question to refer to Mr. and Mrs. Glidden, and in this way Mr.

Eddy's mind Was set at rest for the night. When Thursday forenoon wore along and Mr. and Mrs. Tyler did not appear, Mr. Eddy again became anxious and asked the Glidden house if the Tylers were there and received an answer that they were not, and had not been there.

An investigation was at once started. The event proved that almost at the same time visitors to the Hildreth cottage had discovered the state of things there. Entrance to the grove where the cottage stands is gained by turning In at the Hildreth farm house on the Putney road, and driving out by a road across the faro Mr. Franklin, who carries on the Hilo. a farm, saw the Tylers when they drove out soon after 3 o'clock.

Between 0 and 7 their horse, with the carriage attachad, came wandering up to tbe farm buildings, having evidently untied' itself. Mr. Franklin led the horse back to the giove and tied it to a tree near the cottage. Through the windows he saw the Tylers' clothing lying In the rooms, and, supposing they were down at the river, went back to the house. Between 7 and 8 Thursday morning Albert Hildreth went up to the farm, and as Mr.

Franklin did not hear the Tylers drive out the night before, the two went out to the cottage to see if all was right. Arriving there they found the horse standing where Mr. Franklin had hitched it the night before and where it had pawed a deep hole in the ground. The carriage was wet with the rain which had fallen for several hours during the night. The carriage cushions had slipped down upon the floor and the keys to the cottage lay upon the seat, having evidently been tucked under the cushions when the Tylers left the cottage.

Looking in through the windows their clothing was seen lying, Mr. Tyler's in one room and Mrs. Tyler's in another, where it had been taken off and laid down in an orderly manner. The path to the river leads northward some 20 or 30 rods before it finally turns down to the river's edge. This path Franklin and Hildreth followed, but the only trace found of the missing ones was a single just at the edge of the river which appeared to have been made by a woman's bathing shoe.

The alarm was given, the news spread throughout the village, and very soon many anxious and willing workers were on the ground, aud active measures taken to recover the bodies, for there could be no doubt that they were at the river's bottom. The search was made at first In a desultory way, hut as the citizens gathered an informal organization was effected and G. A. Boyden was chosen chairman of the citi: zen's committee to make the search. Thomas Heaphy, the Brooks House porter, went to Bellows Falls by the 11:10 train, and in answer to his statement of the case the Fall Mountain Paper company at once promised to send a boat gacg of seven rivermen down by the first train.

To do this it was necessary for the company to stop the logs from running through their boom and to suspend their own work during the absence of the gang. The men came by the White Mountain express, and by direction of the railroad company the train was stopped and the men let off at the entrance to the grove. A supply of cant hooks and river poles was sent down by the next train. Meantime despatch was received from Mr. Van Dyke, the president of the Connecticut River Lumber company, whose logs are now running down the river, which read: Cillzent of Bratlltbvro: Tell my men at the bridge to stop the logs Immediately where they can be started again easily.

Also tell the drivers to assist In rinding the bodies ot Mr. and Mrs. Tyler. A boom was stretched across the river to stop the logs, and with the help from these sources an organized system of dragging both up and down the river and across was begun about 3 o'clock and continued through the- remainder of the afternoon. A message was sent to Springfield, Mk asking that a professional diver be sent up.

The response was prompt, and the diver. with his assistant and appliances, arrived by the 5:45 train and was let off at the grove. A raft of logs, to carry his pump and attendants, had already been built, and he entered the water just before 7 o'clock and searched the river bottom Immediately above the bridge, working for about three-quarters of an hour, ne re ported that the water was very dark and that It needed a good light for the search. Operations were then stopped until pjirlv morning. At me point where the Tylers must have met their death the bottom shelves off rapidly, and the depth is anywhere from 10 to 40 feet.

From the point where they probably entered the water the surface current sets across to the New Hampshire shore. The undercurrent is stronger than the surface current and runs In an uncertain direction, Just above the bridge, on the Vermont side, there Is a deep, strong eddy. Swimmers who have been In the water at this place say that it Is very treacherous, both a regards the currents TYLER DROWNED IN THE History of Brattleboro. and the deep holes and rocks on the bottom. The Finding of the Ilndlri.

Both the boJIes were recovered this forenoon. The diver began work from the raft soon after 7 o'clock. Many people were on either bank of ahe river. Directly opposite the bluff and point where the cottage stands Is a double point of rocks extending out from the New Hampshire side. About a quarter of 10 people standing on or between these points saw the body of Mrs.

Tyler rise about 30 feet from the shore, float for a moment and sink again. It was face downward and the arms were extended. Within half or three-quarters of an hour the body of Mr. Tyler arose not more than 40 or 50 feet distant, neara boat in which were G. A.

Boyden and John Galvin. They secured the body and towed it to the raft, to which It was fastened. Soon after the body of Mrs. Tyler iloated again and it also was secured, and the two towed with the raft to the Vermont side, where, In due time, the bodies were taken from the water and placed in charge of Undertaker Bond. The body of Mr.

Tyler whs carefully examined by Dr. Ketchum and no marks of any kind found. His arms were bent In front of him in a position as if they had been clasped about some object. Undoubtedly they had been clasped about his wife, loosening as the bodies began to grow light in the water. The diver did not see either body when upon the bottom.

It was evident to those making the search that the disturbance of the water and the river bottom made by the diver and those dragging with grapnels caused the bodies to float, thev having already become partially filled with gas. The bodies arrived in the street at noon and were taken to Mr. Bond's rooms for embalming, and to be made ready for burial. They will be taken to Mr. and Mrs.

Tyler's apartments In the BrooKs House. Public funeral services will be held at the Episcopal church" at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning; private services at the home of Mr. Tyler's parents in Vernon at 4 p. m. The burial will be in Vernon.

Mirtch of Their Lives. Edward A. Tyler was a native- of Vernon, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Erastus Tyler, and the third in a family of eight children.

He grew up in Vernon, and after taking a course at Powers institute in Bernardston he came to Brattleboro as a clerk In Wm. S. Newton's grocery store. From there he came to the store of Stick-ney Brothers, the present A. F.

Roberts A stand. In these positions he attracted attention as an unusually bright, promising boy. When Adams Crosby bought the Brooks House in 1680 and assumed its management Tyler went there as clerk. He developed a decided capability as a hotel man, and In June, 1802, took a lease of the house and became Its proprietor. He has proved himself an active and enterprising landlord, has' conducted the house upon modern and approved lines, and has acquired wide popularity with the traveling public, as well as with summer guests and permanent boarders at this well known bouse.

No young man In Brattle-' oro had better promise of a successful ouslness career. Mr. Tyler was married on the 20th day of January last. The drowning, therefore, took place six months to a day from the date of their marriage. Mr.

Tyler was identified with the work of the Unitarian society, and had been for several years a member of its prudential committee. He was a Free Mason and a member of the order of Red Men. ne carried life and accident insurance aggregating $15,000. The maiden name of Mrs. Tyler was Leila Elizabeth Williamson.

She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Williamson and was born in Elizabeth, N. J. Her age was 20.

The family have been residents of Brattleboro at the Brooks House for about four years. Mrs. Tyler was educated at a private school In Elizabeth, and was a woman 'of unusual cultivation as well as of maturity of thought and perception. She loved what was best in literature and, by natural taste, avoiding what was light and frivolous, read books of solid merit. She possessed a sweetness of manner which won universal admiration, and the friends of her heart knew her temper and disposition to be of unvarying evenness, kindness and gentleness.

This was not merely a natural trait, It was a dally and hourly practice from inward principle and conviction. The union of husband and wife had been one of radiant happiness. Xotes. Wednesday afternoon, just before 0 o'clock, as T. J.

B. Cudworth and three women drove across the suspension bridge, they saw two people floating on logs some distance below the point where the cottage stands. They did not look like log men though two of the drivers have since stated that they were coming down the river at about that time. C. P.

Gilson was driving toward Brattleboro Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock. As he crossed the bridge he heard a shout and looking up tho river saw either some one In white or waving a white article, standing at the water's edge at the foot of the bluff where the cottage stands. At the time he thought it some one at play, but has since thought It may have been some one trying to attract his attention. As the event proves probably neither of these incidents had any connection with the drowning. Mrs.

Tyler was an expert swimmer. At Block Island she was accounted one of the best swimmers of her sex who has ever visited that place. Although' slight In figure she possessed great strength of arm and could strike out boldly a mile from shore. Mr. Tyler could swim, but only in- uiiicreiuiY.

Mr. Tyler is survived by his father and mother, by five brothers, two of whom live at home, and by a sister, Mrs. Julia H. Stockwell of West Brattleboro. CHUBOH AND BOOIKTY.

Wtst Woodstock, Vt. DEAD IN THE HAY. The nodi of Joslmn C. Webber Found In It. II.

nrovrn's Stable Thursday Morning. The shocking discovery of a man's decomposing body was made early Thursday morning in one of the hay lofts In the stables now occupied by U. R. Brown in the rear of the Brooks House. The peculiar actions of a dog and the odor emanating from the place first aroused suspicion, and when Investigation was made, a man's leg was found sticking up through the hay.

Dr. Webster, chairman of the board of selectmen, was notified. When the hay was removed the body was found where it had evidently slid forward and downward, head first, from a mow of hay Into a partly open space between the hay and the end or partition of the building. Dr. Webster caused the removal of the body to Bond's undertaking rooms, where it was viewed by Drs.

Webster, Conland and Pratt, all of whom agreed that there were no Indications of death by violence. The features were so far gone In decomposition that recognition was Impossible, but from the clothing and other articles found there was no doubt that the body was that of Joshua C. Webber, who had lived in Brattleboro a portion of the time for the past two or three years. Two years ago he worked for Henry Stockwell in West Brattleboro, and last summer for D. Thayer.

He was seen here last April. A Central Vermont biggage check was found upon his person, and inquiry at the baggage room at the railroad station showed that the duplicate was there attached to a telescope bag which contained some underclothing and other small articles. The bag hai been there since Monday, when Webber probably came to town from the north, as there was among his effects a new silk cap done up in paper from O. D. Gray's, Bellows Falls.

There was upon his person. Webber was seen about the streets Monday evening, evidently intoxicated. There is probably no doubt that he entered the stable unnoticed, went through to the rear extension, and up the stairs, where he crawled upon the hay and afterwards slid down as stated. It Is stated by an old comrade that Webber enlisted in August, 1601, as a recruit in Co. Second Vermont.

He deserted in September, 1802, and was not heard from again by his old comrades until he appeared here two years ago or more. He was familiarly known as "Chief Webber. A sister, supposed to be living in Athoi, was notified. The body was placed in the tomb. A note found in the man's pocket-book or wallet addressed by Henry Bemls to Lewis M.

Capen, Charlton City, read: "Will send you this man; met him here in the city. I thought he would make you a good man if you need one." This would indicate that Webber has lately been In Worcester, Mass. Webber was known locally as "Frank" Webber, hut his army comrades say he enlisted as Joshua Chief Webber.

Cox. Following the election of officers was an Interesting discussion calculated to bring out opinions as to the most practical method of bringing out the voters at the September election. B. D. Harris urged the Importance of setting into action at once and doing our utmost to roll up a majority of 35,000, which would set the pacs for the whole country.

Col. Hasklns called attention to the fact that some of the newspapers which heretofore had ridiculed the Idea that Vermont elections had any influence upon other state elections were now advocating the same doctrine that he had always advocated. J. L. Martin urged the importance of showing that the western opinion of the free sliver craze In the East was not well founded.

Mr. Martin said that the same sentiment which would turn down the United States supremo, court would turn down the state judiciary and strike a deadly blow at the social liberty of the people and of the government. H. E. Taylor confirmed Mr.

Harris's opinion of the importance of Vermont's vote by citing a circumstance which happened at the national encampment of the Grand Army. Dr. Holton said there were more elements In the West working in favor of the Republican party than we were aware of, and that with a little missionary work among ourselves we would be able to carry the day with comparative ease. Myron Ward made the closing speech of the evening by citing the depreciation, under the free silver agitation, of certain securities which he owned In the West and admonished the Republican party to remember its duty. ltalness Caunot Be Cured By local applications' as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when it Is entirely closed deafnees Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which la nothing but an In-flammed condlUon of the mucous surfaces.

The total Aggregation Chooses Delegates to At iv fane and Indorses the Action of the Chicago Convention Discussion Waxed Warm. Between 50 and 75 Brattleboro Democrats assembled in festival hall at 8 o'clock Monday evening to elect 12 delegates to the county convention at Newfane Wednesday.

The caucus turned out to be a pronounced free-silver gathering but it was evident from the start that it was nt composed, to a controlling extent, of men usually accounted the responsible men of the party. The meeting was called to order by N. T. Ryan, and J. J.

Eckles was made chairman and Charles A. Boyden secretary. Or. B. Klrwan asked that before the election of delegates was proceeded with the caucus endorse the platform adopted by the Chicago convention.

The chairman explained that In accordance with the call he would have to proceed first with the regular business of the meeting and called for nominations. Lieut. George II. Burns was chosen chairman of the delegation. N.

T. Ryan and G. B. Kirwan were chosen 2d and 3d delegates and G. A.

Boyden was nominated for the 4th, but withdrew his name and H. B. Haus was substituted. C. II.

Davenport was nominated for 5th delegate by Mr. Klrwan and was elected. Rollin S. Chlids refused to accept a nomination as he was to be in Orange county on convention day, and named in his stead F. C.

Gale, who was elected. The other delegates chosen were J. A. Titus, John Galvin, John R. Bliss, John O'Connor, Henry Stockwell of Wtst Brattleboro and A.

W. Chlids. R. S. Cliilds moved that the delegation be instructed to extend to S.

T. Davenport, whose heart and soul was in the invitation to be present and address the convention atNewfane. G. B. Klrwan then pressed the motion which he made at the opening of the caucus, and from then to its close the caucus was one of such pulling and wrangling as caused many of the "old liners" to leave the hall In disgust.

C. H. Davenport said he hoped Mr. Kirwan would withdraw his motion as It had nothing whatever to do with the duty of the convention, and then proceeded with a harangue about the Vermont prohibitory law, Republican extravagance and the policy of Vermont Republicans In buying and selling votes. Mr.

Ryan then took the floor and said that while he was an ardent free-silver man he hoped Mr. Kirwan would think better of his motion, as he (Mr. Ryan) intended to stick to his declaration in former caucuses that he would never go to a convention instructed. Mr. Kirwan explained that bis motion was not intended as an Instruction, but as an endorsement and thereafter followed an hour or more of heated discussion on the silver question, the question of whether a man not in sympathy with the majority should be kicked out of the party without respect for individual opinion, the pauper labor and other planks of the Chicago platform, In which Chlids and Davenport led the opposing factions, often getting personal In their arguments.

The chairman then took the floor and said that he didn't propose to argue the financial question but that he did wish certain Democrats present would desist from making that statement "we can do without him." The chairman said he had nothing to say against the Democratic ticket but that if the platform endorsing Altgeld and mob law was purely Democratic be wasn't a Democrat. At this point the motion of Mr. Kirwan was taken by a rising vote, and resulted in carrying the motion by a vote of 30 to 15. C. H.

Davenport at once tendered his resignation as adelegate, which was accepted, and D. P. Cobb was substituted in his place. The next business was to elect a member of the Democratic town committee to succeed A. D.

Wyatt, whose resignation was presented by Mr. Ryan. J. A. Titus was elected to fill the vacancy after several, who were already been nominated.

There being no other business the meeting then adjourned. two months in the wildeb-ness. James Menzies, who took to the Maine woods on the 2Sth of May, blew in Wednesday noon on his return, fat, brown, and happy. He says he had a good time, and he certainly looks it. In his two months' absence he covered 000 miles by canoe, visiting in this way all the principal waters of northern Maine, and penetrating a region of native wildness rarely seen by sportsmen.

From Brattleboro he went direct to Moosehead lake, where he met his guide with tent, canoe, and a complete camping outfit. After crossing the lake their course lay along the west branch cf the Penobscot and Its branches. This is a large, deep water course, full of rapids and quick water, and running through a wild country which abounds in game. The most northerly point reached was Allegash lake, which lies on the divide between the Penobscot and St. Lawrence valleys.

The outlet of the lake flows toward the St. Lawrence. Mr. Meniles and his guide lived in a tent for the entire time, sleeping on beds of fir boughs, and moving from place to place as suited them. The longest time spent in one place was 17 days on Round pond, nine miles from Allegash lake.

The scenery at this point is peculiarly beautiful. The fishing was all that could be desired, the trout being abundant and unusually large. The largest one taken weighed four pounds. The best single catch was found at Canada Falls dam, where, In two hours, Mr. Menzies landed 42 pounds of trout which weighed from one pound to three pounds each and he has a snap shot to prove It.

Big game, moose and deer, was seen in abundance, and five caribou and three black bears are Included In the list. Several exciting experiences were met during the river voyages, but no serious harm was done to person or effects. The month of June was very cold, and often the beds were the only warm places. During the two months there was only one day of settled rain. The woods were and still are very dry, and it was necessary to take great care with the camp fires not to set the forest on fire.

It required a canoe Journey of 18 miles and return to reach a settlement and tidings from civilization were received only three times. All in all it was a trip, evidently, to delight the heart of any true son of the woods. JUDGE OP PBOBATE NOMINATED. Three members of the Republican county committee Moore of Bellows Falls, Babbitt of Londonderry, and Stlckney of Brattleboro met in Brattleboro Thursday morning, and, la accordance with the provisions of the Australian ballot law, placed in nomination E. L.

Waterman of Brattleboro to be judge of probate for the Marlboro district to fill tho vacancy caused by the death of E. W. Stoddard. In order that there may be no possible question as to the legality of the nomination it is probable that a nomination by certificate, signed by a number of voters equal to one per cent of for judge of probate In 1804, will be filed. No question Is raised as to the eminent fitness of Mr.

Waterman to this oflace or as to the propriety of putting his name upon the ticket. Imtl MmhlnMl wllh A.k.. 'uucs ana a most per-Ie2r nervine, are found In Carter Iron PiUs I I.
