DID He DRowx HIMSELF Frank Bentlc

DID HE DRowx HIMSELF Frank Bentley
has been living about here for the past five OF
six years. Some four years ago. he married a
girl in the neighborhood. and lived in town
until about a year ago, when he left his wife
and had .ince bern living up tie river, princi-
pally in Rush Bottom, where he lately married
another woman, telling her. it appears, that he
was divorced from his first wife. The other
day, imagining the Sheriff to be after him. to
arrest him for bigamy, he aed from Rush Bot
this place. About dusk, man supposed to be
him, was seen at skiff tied near the Single
Machine. just below Taylor & Orton's Mill.
The owners of the skiff, suspccting design to
steal it. kept watch upon it from shortly after
dark until nearly morning, but no person was
seen about it. "Wednesday morning, a pocket
memorandum book was found in the skiff, the
contents of which showed that it was the prop
erty of Bentley. 1t contained various memo
randa Of his life and dcinss; note to his
wife. occupying several pages. in which he
babe her good bye, saying that he had lied to
her about the divorce, and that he was going
to drown himself. as he preferred death to tie
State prison; and gave dire ctions about some
land which be said he owned. There we're no
other signs or marks in the vicinity, to indi.
cate anything about the drowning. Tie mem
Orandum bad probably been left there before
the watch was commenced; and il he drowned
himself, then was when he did it. But there
is good deal of doubt as to whether be took
the plunge. 1t is believed that he has slid out
70 some other part of the country, there to
m,rry again. the fret opportunity that offers.
II anything transpires to strengthen the prob
ability that he has drowned himself. we shall
publish she memoranda found in the book; but
We dislike to indulge in much sensation over .
living man Of his peculiar stripe.

Man Killed on The Railroad
Another Warming.

On last Friday afternoon, sad
and fatal accident occurred on the
Atlantic d Great Western Railway,
near the water house, east of Main
street. A man named John IL.
Were, in an extreme state Of intoxi-
cation, attempted to get on to a
passing train, when be fell or was
knocked down between the cars,
and three or four passed oyer his
side, nearly severing his right arm,
crushing his right leg below the
knee, breaking his thigh bone in
three places. and making terrible
wound in his abdomen, from which
the entrails protruded. He was
picked up in dying condition, but
lived until about one O clock on Sat
urday morning.
A bottle of whisky found in the
pocket Of the deceased, and his in
toxicated condition at the time he
was hurt, is another temperance
lecture in a condensed form. An
effort was made 6y the Coroner rs
Jury to discover the place where
the whisky was bought, but without
s ,ccess. Some rum dealer has the
blood of this man on his sonl.-

CUES that the banks have made I'M
mense profits upon their investments
in bonds, to be deposited as security
for circulation In answer TO the
charge that a great injustice is about
to be done the banks, Gen. Spinner
says: The people will, however, be
apt to take your own statement of
the case, and after doing Il little
ciphering will say to you, that their
view of the case is, that your bank
bought these bonds at about 1I3 in
currency, at a time when gold stood
at 2O1, which would be about equal
to 55b in gold; that you have since
then received back again on the
nominal amount, for interest, thirty
per cent in gold: that you have
bought these stocks with your own
circulating notes, on which you have
not paid one cent Of interest, and
that you can now sell these bonds
above par, in gold and that, should
you so sell them, you will receive
and have received on the $4,000 of
United States stocks SO purchased,
held and sold by you, S45, 200, in
gold, for which you paid, five years
ago, in then gold prices, s,but S1O.425
