The hall was crowded with an audience that appreciated fully the excellent manner in which the play was staged and presented.

Coy, who had given freely of her time in conducting their rehearsals, following was the CAST OK CHARACTERS. Mrs.

Milford Hillard Rose Milford Gertrude Small Polly Greta Snellgrove Sooky Button Eleanor Galleher Kyle Brantford Clayton Brown Frank Harvey McClary Ike Hopper John Salmond Zeke John Brewster Sheriff Deane Cabot Well Known Railroad Man Injured. Walter B. Noyes, formerly transfer agent for the Boston and Maine railroad at this place, and later at Claremont Junction, and now a freight brakeman in the employ of the Canadian Pacific road, was knocked from a car, several days ago, and seriously injured. While passing Sutton, P. he was struck over the left eye by the iron coupling around the water spout that holds the rope, with which.the pipe to take water for engines is pulled down.

He was knocked down and rolled off the top of the car to the ground, striking on his head and shoulders, and rendered nearly insensible. He was taken on a stretcher to a doctor's office, where several stitches were taken to close the cut over the eye. Both eyes were so swollen he was unable to open either. It was feared at first he had fractured the base of his skull, and the report prevailed, the next day, that he had died in the Royal Victoria hospital in Montreal, where he was taken within a lew hours after the accident. Later reports showed differently, and hopes are now entertained of his complete and speedy lecovery.

Frederick Dudley Pe.ttes, After five days of suffering from pneumonia, died at his home in Windsor, the 15th at the age of 75 years. Mr. Pettes was the fifth ot a family of nine children born to his parents (seven of whom lived to maturity,) the late Major John and Lucy Richards Pettes. He was descended from prominent colonial families of Massachusetts (Boston and Amherst,) on both maternal and paternal lines. His grand father, Captain Joseph Pettes, came to Windsor in the early part of 1800, and was the proprietor ot the Pettes Lonee House, a noted hotel of those days, and where General Lafayette was entertained when he came to Windsor.

After the death of Captain Pettes, he was succeeded by his sons, col. rederick Pettes and John Pet tes, the latter, at the time of his father's death, being a student in McGill university in Montreal. The subject of this sketch was the last male representative of the Pettes family. which in years past had been so prominent in the business attairs ot this and neigh boring towns. He was educated in the public schools in this town and at K.

A. in Meriden, N. H. He was an efficient and active man in business in his earlier life, and during his father's term of office as United States marshal in 1850, act ed as deputy marshal. He lived for many years on the farm where he was born and died, and its associations with his early home life had made it a hallowed spot to him.

For fifteen or twenty years he con ducted a successful milk route. He was possessed of a fine memory and, perhaps, knew as much as any one ot the early his tory of this place, which had been recount ed to him by older people, and from his own observation and intercourse with peo pie who once made Windsor noted for wit and culture. He was most interesting in conversation, a kind neighbor, a good friend, and patient and uncomplaining in the vicissitudes of his Funeral services were held on Monday following his death, with burial in bt. rands1 cemetery, Messrs.

The stones for the McKinley sarcoph gus at Dayton, Ohio, have been shipped by the Ascutney Mountain Granite U. dur inj the past week. Two of these stones weighed twelve tons each, and all were pronounced to be the finest specimens of Ascutney green granite ever quarried. A neighborhood gathering was held at the home of George B. Spencer, Friday evening, in observance of Washington's birthday.

Mr. Vaughan is Vermont's new state forester, and will speak on The Forestry Problem," one of the most important questions of the day. It is hoped that a full house may greet the speaker. White River Junction and Rutland are hotfoot after the state fair, and it act ually looks as though the once discredited attraction had become something worth going after. All of which leads the Mont- pelier Journal to say It so, it is a per sonal tribute to Maxwell Evarts that is as remarkable in its way as anything that has happened in recent years."

The news from Washington of the appointment by President Roosevelt of Stanley R. Bryant as' postmaster to succeed himself gives much satisfaction to the patrons of the local office. Mr. Bryant was first appointed to the position in 1899 by President McKinley, and was reappointed four years ago by President Roosevelt. During the time the business of the office has increased greatly, not only in the way of local patronage but by the addition of a new mail route and the establishment of three rural deliveries.

Subsenuent to the action of the New England Fire Insurance exchange last sum mer in increasing the tire rates twenty per cent an aggressive agitation developed in several Connecticut cities for the adop tion of a scheme of municipal insurance The municipal authorities of several committees took the matter up and pressed it with yigor, but the recent course of the exchange in revoking the increase there and restoring rates to their old bases has killed the scheme in the Nutmeg State Other communities, where rates have not been lessened, but even now are threaten' ed with another increase, might well take this subject of municipal insurance under consideration.
