Mr. and Mrs. Edward P. Hooper 
of Manchester Cove are mourning 
the sudden death of their grandson, 
Everett Hooper, son of the late Ches- 
ter EF. Hooper, at Pawtucket, R. I. 
He was taken with acute appendicitis 
a few days ago and did not survive 
the operation. His age was 18 years 
and 7 months, and he would have 
been graduated from the Pawtucket 
High school this spring. He was 
born in Everett. Another brother, 
FE. Payson and a sister Dorothy, be- 
sides a mother, survive. His remains 
will be brought to Manchester for 
burial Saturday. 
On petition of P. H. Boyle a re- 
count of the vote for selectmen, as be- 
tween Mr. Boyle and Frank G. Chee- 
ver, was held at the selectmen’s of- 
fice, last evening. Mr. Boyle was 
present and was represented by 
Lawyer Daniel O’Brien, and Mr 
Cheever was represented by. A. C. 
Jones. The count was made by the 
board of registrars. The original 
vote was given as 267 for Cheever 
and 264 for Boyle. The result of the 
recount. was: 264 for Cheever and 
262 for Boyle. Two votes for each 
were not counted, by mutual agree- 
ment, because the mark was along- 
side the candidate’s name, instead of 
in the square. The vote lost by 
Cheever was for a ballot marked in 
such a way that while it was the evi- 
dent intent of the voter to check Mr. 
Cheever’s name, there could be some 
question about it. The net result 
gives Mr. Cheever two votes more 
than Mr. Boyle, instead of three.

ternoon the powerful new engine 
truck of the Gloucester fire depart- 
ment passed through Manchester 
homeward bound. In spite of the 
bad condition of the roads from the 
softening snow the big motor engine 
plowed ahead at a good speed. It 
was on the home stretch of a fast 
run from Boston where it had beea 
unloaded from the cars. The truck 
is the Ahrens-Fox type now exten- 
sively used. Several members of the 
Gloucester department met the motor 
engine in Boston and made the trip 
on the machine. Just beyond Mag- 
nolia the truck was stalled and had 
to be towed into Gloucester.

A meeting of the Manchester base-— 
ball association was held last evening 
in Carpenters’ hall. President Wm. 
W. Hoare presided. The room was 
well filled by fans of all ages, all evi-— 
dently most enthusiastic for the ball 
season to open. That everyone was 
pleased with last season’s work was 
evidenced by the fact that the old 
board of officers were elected as fol-_ 
lows: Wm. W. Hoare, pres.; Walter 
R. Bell, vice-pres.; F. L. Floyd, oe 
le De Trish, treas.; Raymond C. Allen, 
Percy A. Wheaton, Chas. E. Wil- 
liams, John C., Mackin and James 
Hoare, advisory committee. The fol-~ 
lowing entertainment committee was — 
appointed: Alfred E. Hersey, Arthur 
Smothers, Bertram Rogers, Hollis A. 
Bell and Allen P. Dennis, and the fol- 
lowing were appointed as collectors 
at the games; Allen P. Dennis, John® 
Coughlin and James Murray, they to- 
have authority to appoint deputy col- _ 
lectors as the occasion demands. ‘The 
important item of business was the 
vote to have the team managed by 
one manager this year, instead of two, — 
and the advisory committee was en-_ 
powered to select a manager. The re-_ 
ports of the officers showed the asso-— 
ciation to have been well managed the 
last year as far as funds were con-) 
cerned, and it is pleasing to note that — 
all the bills are paid, and there is a_ 
fair nucleus. to start this season’s | 
work. Another meeting will be held 
in about a fortnight to hear reports 
on various matters and to shape - 
things up for starting the season 
promptly, : :
