We referred yesterday to a young man
named William Clark, who was picked up in
the street on Monday evening and lodged in
the county Jail. Clark committed suicide at
the Jail sometime Tuesday night by hanging.
He first attracted the notice of City Marshal
Harrington on Monday evening, and appeared
to be wandering about from place to place
without any particular purpose or design.
When Intercepted as to his name and place
of residence, he gave the name stated above,
and said that his folks lived in Bowerbank,
Piscataquis county. His peculiar answers to
questions indicated that he was bordering on
insanity. He said he didn't want to see any
of his friends. When asked where he wanted
to go, he said he wanted to get out of the
world. He complained of the headache, and
appeared exceedingly dali and respondent.
The City Marshal took. him in his care, pro-
vided for him warm supper at a saloon, and
thinking that he would be made more COM
Portable at the Jail than at the police station,
lodged him at the former place until he could
communicate with his friends at Bowerbank.
who found him in the same respondent condi-
ton; indeed he seemed to be completely dis
couraged the last spark of ambition evident
ly had become extinguished, and he was
poor waif simply drifting along in the world
without any aim or object. The taller visited
him Tuesday evening about eleven o'clock,
when he appeared to have fallen asleep, and
was very quiet. Yesterday morning when the
turnkey visited him at seven o'clock, he was
found suspended by the neck by the suspend
ers which he had taken from his pantaloons,
and which were fastened at the top of the cell
door. Life was entirely extinct 1t was evil
dent that had he relented from the purpose of
taking his life he could easily have accom-
plished his purpose by raising himself up by
his hands but evidently his intellect was be-
clouded or life had lost for him all its charms,
and the poor fellow probably made no effort
to release himself from the position in which
he was found in the morning. Clark was
about % years of age, was quite neat and
Clearly in his person, and to all appearance
had seen better days. A stencil plate was
found upon his person, cut with his name, also
pawnoroker's ticket showing that he had
pawned watch, and two ten cent scrips.
His body will be retained here until some in
telligence can be received from his friends.
Since writing the above we have read
communication in yesterdays Bangor Wing,
from Dexter, stating that Clark was an en-
ployee in the Dexter mills and suddenly dis
appeared from that village last Friday noon,

EBERHARDT MILL.-II. w. Bordwpll
one of the finest mechanics on the
coast, who understands all about the
construction of quartz mills, was in
town two or three days during the
week. He is now engaged by the Eb-
erhardt Company to Superintend the
construction of their siXly stamp mill
al Eberhardt City. White Pine county.
He informed us that this is to be the
finest and most complete quartz mill
ever erected in America, or. perhaps,
in the world. Every conceivable mod
ern improvement and discovery is to
be added to it regardless of expense,
with view to making it as nearly
perfect as possible. We have already
noticed the immense amount of lum-
Der and machinery being shipped by
Whitney Il Co. for this new mill. The
new Eberhardt Company is composed
of English capitalists who are deter
mined to have the best, cost what il
may, which. as rule, is economy in
the end. Bordwell will do them good
work. He it was who superintendent
the construction of the Rising star
mill in Flint District, Idaho, and Il
better mill does not exist i'll the coun-
try to-day EIko Chronicle.

The Governor informs us that 1t is his

sition. He intends soon after he is re-
lieved of his official duties as Govern

ing been very active and industrious
business man for many years, during
which he has met with the usual ups

enterprises, and feels able and anxious

RESIGNATION OF THE EMPRESs.-The
Paris correspondent of the n. y. Times
writes:
The Empress, in these days of trial,
is said to be model of resignation.
One Of the gentlemen other household
recounted to admiring listeners in an
American salon. a few evenings since,
her majesty was really noble Cvrai-
ment digneo in the face OF the APP
preaching crisiS-a fact sublime in
abnegation'-saying that if the people
believe 1--WE are not governing them
for their honor and prosperity, we are
quite willing to place the power in
hands they judge better" A letter
from a London paper, which CHANGED
to see a day or two ago, tells me that
her maiesty's residence at Seven Oaks,
in Kent, is being prepared for her re-
ception. Resignation. with an accom-
paniment Of royal villas in England,
provinces in Spain. and rows
of brown houses in New York, to say
of diamonds and stocks to a
fabulous amount, is not difficult. The
Empress has had the crown jewels

been done. Of course you are expected to
deny it but any one with half an eye can

"By IIcaven Mordaunt, I'll not listen
to such senseless talk" J." cried a quick, pas
sionate voice, which poor Lindsey knew all
too well.
"Ah is that it?'' in surprised tone.
81 thought you understood the turn mat
ters were taking, and took the young fel-
low into the firm to take the curse off-par-
don me for saying it."
"Perhaps you will enlighten me little
in regard to this matter,'' Mr. Sherwood
said, in his haughtiest tone. "It is not
possible any one has dared associate ny
daughters name with tlis-this Lindsey p
81 am sorry mentioned it, really" Nor
daunt said, apologeticaly. :" 1t has been
thought possible and even probable that
Lindsey would some day marry Miss Sher-
wood. You surely are not blind to the fact
that they are very intimate-for .tfSends."
81 would sooner see my daughter lying
dead, than married to Lindsey Mr. Nor
daunt. You can contradict all such shame
full rumors," Sherwood replied, coldly.
If the allegation had been true, Alfred
Lindsey could scarcely have felt worse, and
the evening which had passed so delightful
ly, set in modification and sorrow. A
weary, restless night followed-a night of
discouragement and bitter despair 1t is
no use, the tempter whispered, try as hard
as you may, you will never be anything
but ga Lindsey" You might just as well
give up the struggle first as last.
The morning found him feverish and
nervous 1t was later than usual when he
went down to the store Two men were
standing on the sidewalk, and when he
opened the store, followed him in, anus
ing themselves by sauntering about, look
ing at the showcases, and apparently max
ing mental valuation of the contents of
the store.
" How long before | could see one of the
partners ?" one of them asked, sauntering
to the door and looking back.
g / am one of the partners Alfred an
swered, in a rather ungracious tone.
'Ah May ask if it is not something
quite recent?"
:" 1t is sir.'
The men glanced at each other, and, one
said in low tone, "wait."
We will come again. Good-morning,

moniously as possible.

Get Leather Bits.

One of the cruelist things done to dumb
beasts is putting hard frozen iron bits into
a horses mouth. 1t is not only painful
but dangerous act. For every time liv
ing flesh touches a metal much below the
freezing point, the latter extracts the heat
from the former and freezes it. Thus a
horses mouth becomes frozen by the cold
iron several times day put into it; each
time causing these freezings to 60 deeper
and deeper, to end at last in extensive Ill
ceration. With such a sore mouth the
poor horse refuses to eat and pines away,
which calls the horse doctor in. They call
it bots, CHAMBERS, horse-ail, etc, and go to
examining down poisonous drugs, in doses /;
and the next you know of the poor crea-
ture, he is trotted off to be food for fish or
the crows Many valuable horse has
been ''mysteriously" lost in just that way.
Thinking and humane people avoid this
by first warming the bits; but this is much
trouble, and sometimes impossible as in
night work like staging and physicians
work. Now all this trouble and loss are
entirely avoided, as we have found on large
trial, by getting the harness makers to gel
leather bits for winter use, SO made that nc
metal substance can touch the flesh. They
are durable and cost only half dollar
We wouldn't exchange ours for gold one
if it couldn't be replaced. Don't fail t.
try it-RardI H0rld.
