The Tragedy at North Adams. Mass.

The Springfield Republican, in giving an
swount of the sad tragedy at North Adams.
Mass, resulting i'll the death Of Miss Mar
rhs Butler and the flight of Mr.. Chas. Lit,
,ehed. her alleged seducer. says:
Mr.. Littlefeld was young man. native
Of Dover, \. H.. and went to the Adams
Bank, as cashier, some two years ago. from
,mesbury, Mass. where he had been teller
in the Village Bank. and where he married
N 3 respectable family. Miss Butler was,
We believe, relative of his wife. and il 10
was also from Amesbury. and lived in the
family. Mr.. Littlefeld. rs we'll as Miss
Butler, have heretofore been of unimpeaehed
character, and he, at least. was q church
member. His accounts with the bank are
fund without blemish. These develop
ments have naturally created deep sensa-
non and sorrow in Adams, which will ex-
tend 10 the other circles Of relatives and
friends of the fallen elsewhere.
Another account states that MIR. L.. and
Miss =. we're members Of the same Church
and choir. She was between sixteen and
seventeen years Of age. and said TO have been
beautiful "a she was youthful. An intlma-
cy between Littleheld and the young lady
followed short acquaintance. but it was
never suspected to exceed the bounds Of pro
priet7. Late last week she was taken vio-
!sntly ill, and on Saturday died. On her
death bed she charged Littleheld with not
only her seduction, but with procuring tor
her medicine, which she took, causing her
death 1t is supposed that, had not Little
held suddenly decamped on the death of
Miss Butler becoming known, he would have
been lynchad.

Goggin on the Eastern sho.e.

We have received no written communica,
ton from the Eastern Shore, but verbal nc.
counts assure us that our ndomitable candi-
date had glorious time both in Northamp-
ton and AccOmac. At DrummOnd Town,
Mr.. Goggin mounted the stand and held
forth for two hours, amid such demonstra,
tons of enthusiasm and applause as We may
venture TO say he has not received to a great,
er extent throughout the whole Canvass
Having spoken two hours he descended from
the stand; but there was a universal cry for
him to resume it and continue to speak. with
which he complied, and spoke half an hour
longer. The people seemed almost beside
themselves with joyful enthusiasm, and
crowded around him with hearty congratu-
lations and assurances of the admiration
and delight with which he had inspired them.
Look out for an 1910 majority from old Ac-
comac, on the 26th.-NorfoN Herald.

Of Daniel Davis, engineer Of the steamer
Ocean Spray. on an indictment for man
slaughter. growing out of the destruction of
that vessel by fire, whereby some ten lives
were lost. The case came IN for trial this
week before the United States Circuit Court,
aud was patiently heard, and the accused
ably defended The jury found him guilty,
leaving the court to fix the punishment
This is the first conviction ever had under
the law of Congress providing for the pro
lection of life and property on board of steam
boats and the example. it is hoped. will not
be lost on those who have charge Of our
steam vessels. 1t has now been shown that
the law is not dead letter. and that it can
b. enforced against those who violate its
provisions. A few verdicts Of this kind,
whether applied to steamboats, or railroads.
will have Il wonderful effect in inducing
more care on the part of those who have
charge Of them, and the number Of disasters
will be greatly lessened.
The case Of the engineer on board the Col
Crosman, under a similar Indictment for
msnslaughter. is now on trial in the same
court--G Loms Republican April 20.
