In the apportionment of the estate of Elias Cadwell of Perry, which will be commenced within a few days, three well known residents of Warren will receive a share of an estate which is estimated at The heirs are very numerous. At tho present time 113 scattered all over the United States have proved relationship that entitles them to a portion of the money, and they will receive sums ranging from $S0, which is the smallest, to the largest. In Vermont are located 11 heirs, Massachusetts has 10 and Rhode Island 1.

The majority of the Cadwell heirs on the father's side live in New England while those on the mother's side live in the West. The Vermont heirs and the amount they will inherit on the basis that the estate nets follow: James Fred Cardell of Warren, Eliza Ann Baniscter of Warren, Emma E. Cardell of Rutland, Jli.6t;tj.66; Frances M. Cardell of Rutland, Mildred Cardell of Rutland, Edwin Cardell of Warren, Alma Cur-tin of Bristol, William Henry Curtin of Bristol, Jenny Norton of Bristol, Mrs. Eliza A.

Eld-ridge of Randolph, Alice E. Fuller of Hardwick, $1,606.66. Elias Cadwell, whose demise leaves so much money to be divided among the heirs of his' brothers and sisters, was a son of John and Sally Cadwell. his youth ho changed his name from Carwell to Cadwell which accounts for the difference in the spelling, but like the Card wells of Warren, one of the oldest and best honored in that town, he tame out of tho same stock. Mr.

Cadwell died in April, in Florida, where it had been his custom to spend the winters in order to escaupe the cold winds of the N.rth Ho was a bachelor having never married, so that according to the laws of the State of Iowa where he claimed his residence his estate is to bo divided among the heirs of his father and mother. The fact that his father married a second time after the death of Sally Cadwell increased the number of lie'irs. WATER POWER FOR WESTON. A scheme is simmering to dam tho reservoir brook about one-half mile from Weston village park and pipe the water to give power to run the electric lights, for lire purposes, and power to the mills on the stream. One hundred and fifty feet head could be had, and "5 horse power with the natural stream every 21 hours of the day and year and much more with storing capacity and high water.

Moneyed men are back of it, and it probably will be pushed through. POMONA GRANGE AT HARTFORD. Sometime during the summer, a Pomana or fifth degree Grange, will be formed at Hartford village. It will take in the Granges respectively at Hartford, Quc-chee, Taftsville and Norwich. Governor Bell will be present at the organization.

A FOUR-LEGGED CHICKEN. The Rev. W. C. Clark of Lyndon has a curiosity at the parsonage in the shape of a four-legged chicken.

The old hen came off the eggs a few days ago and this freak chicken is a part of the result of her three necks of steady application to business. The two extra legs are located near the tail feathers and are not of any use to the chicken, which looks and acts as healthy and natural as her regularly formed brothers and sisters. RAILROAD STATION BURNED. The Montpelicr and Wells River station, located about four miles from this place at Lancsboro, was burned to the ground Thursday afternoon between two and four o'clock. It is thought that the fire started from a cinder from the passenger train which passes through that station at about two o'clock.

The building was used as a residence and was occupied by George and Frank Steadman. Nearly ill the household furniture was saved. The building was erected about three years ago, shortly after the forest fires in that section. The loss on the building Ss about which is covered by insurance. DIED WITH A BROKEN BACK.

Wyman Lamberton of Marshfield, who was recently thrown from the bridge of his barn, a distance of 15 feet to tho ground below, having his back broken between the shoulders, died at his home Thursday morning at eleven o'clock. After the accident Mr. Lamberton regained consciousness, but was in such pain that it was necessary to administer morphine to him. The accident occurred right after Mr. Lamberton had attended Cue funeral of a friend, who died as a result of a fall, and the physician who was called to attend him passed the funeral procession while on the way to tho lcmberton house.

IRVING BACHELLERS NEW ESTATE. The author of a quartette of successful novels, Irving Bacheller, has recently purchased a most attractive retreat in the heart of the Adirondacks. Tho tract, which formerly belonged to E. C. Converse, the banker, contains about 2,000 acres of forest land, and is situated in the midst of a hundred thousand acres of primitive country.

The nearest railroad is some distance off, and the train stops only on signal, after which the traveller steps into a canoe, and is taken to the very door of a large, low, rustic house, with huge stone fireplaces. Three streams of considerable size traverse the estate, which also contains three lakes filled with fish. As to game, Mr. Bacheller says that during a short walk not long since he saw-nine deer. Mr.

Bacheller proposes to go there before the 1st of June. He is at present busy with a novel which is said to have true "woods" atmosphere, and which will be published some time in the early fall Ua' the Harpers. A year ago, Mr. Bacheller completed an arrangement by which this firm will be in future the publishers of "Eben HoVlen," "Dri and and "DarreH of the Blessed Isles," as well as of Vergilius" and Of his future work.

Troop to Return from New York This Morning. Troop Ci, 15th cavalry, the organization which has been doing such excellent work at. the Madison Square Garden military tournament the past week left New York last evening and will arrive this morning. Many rumors regarding trouble in this troop while at the garden have been in circulation among the enlisted men of the command the past week. The Free Press in investigating the rumors received the following telegram from Major W.

A. Turpin, recording secretary of the Military Athletic League and manager of the arena: "The 15th cavalry are doing the best work in this tournament that has ever been seen in New York and are to be complimented on the good behavior of their men without exception." Major E. E. Gayle, Captain Millard F. Harmon and First Eieut.

James P. Robinson, artillery corps, the officers who comprise the board of officers to examine the candidates in the artillery battalion here as to their fitness for qualification for first anil second gunners, are expected to arrive at the garrison to-day and the examination will begin to-morrow. The members of Troop loth cavalry, have organized a base ball team and will meet any team In the garrison, the high school, juniors, freshmen of the university or any other outside team. The manager of the team is Farrier Clark and he has had much experience in this line. The team is formed to keep up the excellent standard of Troop 15th cavalry.

The men all say that they will make their troop commander. Captain Warren Dean, proud of theni. The team is made up as follows: Draniville, catcher; Doherty, pitcher; Kenney, first base; Mitchell, second base; Kelleher, short stop; Garvin, third base; Gilli-son. center field; McCutcheotj, right field; the man for left field has not as yet been definitely decided upon. The base ball game which was to have been played Saturday between 23rd battery team, the Conklitis, and the freshmen of the University of Vermont did not occur, owing to the failure of the latter team to report.

The base ball teams of Troops I and IC lined up for a game Saturday morning, which resultecl in a victory for the former team, by a score of ID to IS. The batteries were Upton, Sher-bun and Charlie for Troop Martin and Slattery for Troop K. The teams of Troop L. and Troop engaged yesterday in a base ball contest, which resulted in a victory for Troop by a score of 23 to 3. The Conklins ranged themselves before a picked team from the 15th cavalry yesterday afternoon at the garrison.

The game was a very interesting one, but the picked team, which was composed of some of the best material in the regiment, could not gain a victory over the excellent team of the battery. The score was 3 to 2, and trie game was a pitcher's battle throughout. A large number of spectators were present to witness the game. Batteries, 15th cavalry, Schon-berg and Blouin; Conklins, Lewis and Plummer. The officers and ladies of the garrison enjoyed a hop at the gymnasium on Saturday evening.

The 15th cavalry orchestra furnished the music. Tilings have been very quiet at the garrison for the past two days, since pay day. Very few men are absent without leave. The number of men in the hands of the police (five) is very small, when compared with some previous pay days. Two men will no doubt be deserters.

Private Mark Christensen of the artillery, a recruit who lives in Ohio, and Private Jose Arana, 15th cavalry, a Cuban, who has been in the regiment about a year. It is thought the latter has gone to New York city. First Sergeant William Coons, 27th battery, is confined to his quarters by illness. The first squa'dron have finished their target practice and will begin pistol practice to-day. The second squadron takes the range to-day.

Ho was walking through the Boston street3 recently, returning a shabby cotton umbrella to its owner, looking for nil the world like a countryman, when a bunco steerer stepped up to him and claimed acquaintance. "I deint seem to remember yoj," saiil the judge Upon be-ing urged to refresh his memory, the judge, seeing through the littla f.ame. calmly said: "Well, my friend. I have sent so many of you boys to jail I cant remember you all, you know." J. Sloan Fas-sett, at a recent dinner given in New York, compared the unsuccessful efforts of a young oarsman.

He failed throuph no fault of his own." he said, "and this oarsman failed Through no fault of his own. The oarsman was rowing a young girl on 'deep still river. It was a beautiful diy, bat perhaps a little warm. The young man pulled anel pulled but he wis going up stream and he made little headway.

One of the most serious problems which confronts our naval administration is that of securing and retaining in the service the crews needed to man the increasing number of new warships.

The fact that the government has been obliged to open recruiting stations for the navy in tho inland States indicates tho growing difiiculty of obtaning enlistments in the maritime regions; but hard as it is to get recruits, it is harder still to keep them. A recent statement issued by the bureau of navigation shows that last year S.ilO men, over 10 per cent, of the entire force, deserted. This is a condition of affairs of which the advocates of the "Big Stick" policy will have to take account. The reasons for the conditions indicated are no doubt numerous. The unwillingness of young Americans to submit to military discipline in time of peace, and their restiveness under the irksome surroundings of life in the forecastle, and the opportunities for more congenial anel more lucrative work ashore in an era of prosperity, are probably the main reasons.

The largest percentage of desertions occur among the so-called messmen the cooks, wardroom stewards, and cabin boys. Of these nearly one-quarter of the whole number took French leave from the- navy during last year, and in their case the desertions are largely due to the demand for trained servants in our ever-growing steam yachting ffect and the higher wages ofTererd in this employment. A remedy for the conditions indicated will not be easy to discover. Holding forth inducement to young Americans to continue in the service by rewarding the efficient with officers commissions has been suggested. But young men with natural aptitude for sea service and capable of educating- themselves in mathematics, engineering, naval construction, international law, and other sciences, up to the standard required for admission to the officers, corps are rare, and very few possessed of this combination of talents would be likely to seek their way to the quarterdeck by way of the forecastle.

But a solution of the problem must be found, and a searching inquirj for the reason for the alarming increase of desertions ought not to he long dclayeJ. HOW NEW YORK GETS ERS. ITS FEOW (From Harper's Weekly.) The liveliest spot in Greater New York at 5 .30 in the morning is in the building at the corner of Sixth avenue and Twenty-sixth street. Express wagons, carts anel vans pileel high with long and narrow wooden boxes struggle for places at the curb, their number continually augu-mented by others that rattle down from Broadway or drive around tho corner from Sixth avenue. It is here that the cut-flower market of the metropolis is installed, and mere than two-thirds of the flowers that illl the windows of the big dealers on the principal thoroughfares, or are hawked by vendors in the streets, are handled at Twenty-sixth street and Sixth avenue in the early morning.

The flower market is divided into two branches, each comprising a separate class of sellers and buyers, who do business at separate hours. The third floor of tho building is given over to the humbler of these branches the small growers, almost all from Bong Island, who bring in their own wares wtfh their own hands, and whose customers are almost entirely itinerant peddlers, who sell in the streets, or have small stands on the sidewalks. Practically the entire business of this branch of the market is done between six and seven o'clock in the morning. On the second floor of the building are the big dealers, who sell on commission to the larger florists, and whose wares come by express from the great greenhouses up the Hudson rr ncross the river in New Jersey. Viob ts are a separate industry in this market, and one firm on the ground floor controls the entire trade in this flower.

These more aristocratic traders find their busiest hour between fight and nine o'clock, after which period tho fashionable florist has plenty of tim- to decorate his windows pending the calls of his late-rising customers.
