LONG CoPARTNERsHIP.-Messrs Godfrey &
Gabriel Mark entered into copartnership in
this city on the first day of May, 1880, in the
cutlery and grinding business; and now after
the lapse of forty years, they are still actively
and prosperously engaged in the same voca-
ton. Theirs is the oldest business copartner-
ship in Portland, and, we believe, in the State.
These worthy gentlemen are natives of Aaran,
Switzerland, and first cams to this country in
1917. They resided with their parents in Indi-
ana and Ohio until 1926, when they returned
to their native place, remaining there two
years. They agan.visited our shores, landing
at this port in 1923; and here they have since
resided, patterns of intelligence, sobrety, and

VoRoSEKs INQUEST. The eofo1ef6 Jury,
sitting on the case Of Mcmillan, re.assembled
yesterday morning. DR.. Foster reported that
ne had examined the body as critically as pos
slble, but he found no serious disorder in any
OF the vital organs. There was slight adhe-
sion OF one lung, probably the result of an old
pleurlsy attack, and the blood vessels of the
brain were somewhat distended with blood,
though not sufficiently to produce congestion.
The stomach and intestines were greatly dis
tended with gas, but otherwise seemed to be in
healthy state. The doctor is inclined to the
opinion that this poisonous gas reaching the
nerves of the brain, was the proximate cause
of the mans death. This gas might have been
generated by the composition of food in the
stomach, as is frequently the case, or it might
have been produced by some poison. If the
man died from the effect of poison the doctor
thinks the poison was belladonna. The change
noticed in the body after death was nothing un-
usual, such changes frequently taking place as
quickly. The contents of the stomach have
been sent to Brunswick for analysis, and if the
poison was not of an extremely subtle nature
its presence will be ascertaned.
A number of witnesses were examined, after
which the jury adjourned until ten o'clock
this morning. The funeral of the deceased
took place in the afternoon.
