The Schagticoke Mystery Solved

Editor Of The Register:
Several Of the leading papers in Yer.
moot and New York have undertaken to
explain and account for the mysterious
disappearance OF Frank |. Jones. at
Schagticoke, in October last. They are
perhaps, excusable for their conclusions,
for facts are essential upon which to
found correct conclusions and they were
not then known.
Frank Jones, sou Of Rev. Zebulon
Jones, was born in the town Of Cornwall,
and was twenty.one years of age at the
time of his death. On the 2Sth day OF
October last his body was found in New
York, at the Libbey House, in bed in
room No. 9, and undressed as is usual
for the night-a pistol shot wound in the
right temple. Coroner Young was called
upon and he states that he saw no marks
of violence upon the body and no signs
Of foul play in the room, and he gave or.
ders for the body to be removed to the
Morgue. Here it remained until the 4th
day of November, and as no one claimed
the body, 1t was buried on Harris Island
A friend, after devotiDg eight days to the
work of inquiring into the case, procured
the body aud brought it to Middlebury
Arrangements having been made his re-
mains were carried to West Cornwall fol
burial.
1t is usual for an inquest to be held al
once, by jury OF men with the Coroner
presiding, before a body is removed IL
this case the body was removed first (ar
especial favor extended to the proprietor,
oil the Liobey House,) The records o.
the inquest were called for but none were
produced. The opinion of the coroner
was. however, that Frank Jones came tC
his death by his own hands, founded Oh

A war against brandy is the peculiar

A war against brandy is the peculiar
form the temperance struggle assumes in
Sweden Your Swede gets drunk on
brandy, if anything, but Of late years the
incessant actiqity Of the temperance So
cietics and the high excise duty on this
liquor have forbidden the laboring man
the luxury of spree. except at rare in.
tervals. so that it had come to be fondly
believed that the foe was beaten down
for good. Recently, however, there has
been a universal Use in wages throughout
the kingdom, and the inebriating cup has
once more come within easy reach Of the
poorest working man. And now the
temperance folks are redoubling their
efforts to bring moral forces into action.
Societies have been formed among the
working men, which are widely spread
ing, the main idea Of them being, not
total abstinence, but the restraint Of in.
temperance. Some OF their move! pro.
visions are that no married man shall 60

man only at meal times, when he is al.
lowed to psrtake of liquor along with his
shut out from the public bars, is not de.
barred from taking his glass of brandy,
which he may keep stored in the cupboard
at home All public treating is also
forbidden, and the transgression Of any
of these rules subjects the delinquent to
a fine. The town of Gothenourgh is the
most original in its methods for the sup.
preston of drunkenness. Here the whole
spirit trade has boon conferred upon a
! company of philanthrophists, who run the
business solely for the benefit Of the
town. 1t contrives that the public houses
TO which licenses are dispensed shall dc.
rive no profit from the traffic in liquors,
forcing the hotel keepers to derive their
income solely from a legitimate hotel
business. The result has been that the
low and dirty drinking shops, formerly
given over to mere guzzling and carous.

tidy restaurants and hotels, where I'm.
