S. of V. Entertained by 
Account of Trip to Gettysburg 
A pleasant feature of the regular 
meeting of Camp 149, S. of V., Man- 
chester, Tuesday evening, was the 
account given by Com. Floyd of his 
recent visit to Gettysburg, where he 
went as a delegate to the National 
Convention, S. of V. After a de- 
tailed account of the convention itself 
Mr. Floyd gave a pleasant and enter- 
taining talk on the sights and many 
interesting things seen en route, from 
the time the party boarded the special 
car in the South station till they re- 
turned again. He spoke of the jollity 
and good feeling that prevailed among 
the members of the party, of his visit 
to Penn Marr Mountain, a high hill 
overlooking the beautiful city of 
Reading; he told of Gettysburg, em- 
phasizing the fact that comparatively 
little could be seen of that historic 
spot in such a short time as he had, — 
he dealt, therefore, only in general- 
ities; he spoke of the return home, 
of the visit to Hagerstown, to Har- 
per’s Ferry, to Washington and down 
the Potomac to Mt. Vernon. At the 
close Mr. Floyd was given a rising 
vote of thanks, and all the members 
partook of a collation that had been 
prepared. 
Petition Granted 
The Manchester buard of selectmen, 
at their meeting Wednesday evening, 
granted to Wm. Fleming and other 
signers of the petition the right to 
construct a system of drainage for 
surface water from their property on 
Desmond avenue, through Brook 
street to the brook. This matter 
came up before the town at the last 
town meeting, and it was referred to 
the board of health, after a vigorous 
protest by some against granting such 
a petition as being a poor precedent. 
The board of health, some weeks 
ago, gave the petitioners the right to 
withdraw, as it was not in the power 
of that body to grant privilege to 
carry’ water from cesspools to any 
stream in town. 
A new petition was drawn up and 
presented to the board of selectmen, 
who disposed of the matter as above, 
in accordance with plan presented. 
This plan calls for a pipe running 
through the rear of the Wm. Flem- 
ing, Chas. Dodge, E. H. Height land 
from the Lewis Kilham lot to that of 
T. A. Robbins, and thence at right 
angles an 8-inch drain pipe runs 
through the H. H. Preston land to a 
catch basin on Brook street, thence 
by a 12-inch pipe along the edge of 
the Putnam land to the brook.
