ELgcrlos-pAY- STRANGE AND SUDDEN DEATH
AUGUSTA NATIONAL BASK-SALE OF VALUABLE
rRopERTY-FoREST FIRES.
STANTON, May q, 1875.
Although this is election. day, things are
very quiet in our city, and the usua! business
Of the city is being transacted as on ordinary
DAYS The people do rot seem to recognize
that it is day big with the fate of many OF
their feliow.citiZens who are so anxious to
sery. them TO their "entire satiSiactiOn."
The contest in this county is limited, be-
lieve, TO the offices Of overSeer and coDmIs-
sicper Of the revenue. there being no oppo.
>tion to The gentlemen who now ill the
Offices OF clerk, Commonwealth attorney,
and sheriff.
Mr.. y. c. Fitch, gentleman who recent
" moved to this place from Huntington, W.
Va, died very suddenly on yesterday eve
ming. He had been in very good health, and
Yesterday morning went to deutIst aud had
a tootn extracted. Before having the opera
ton performed he had chloroform admins
tered to him. After recovering from the eff
fects of the chloroiorm be returned to his re-
sidence. on Augusta street, and having told
his wife about taking the chlorotorm and
having bis tooth extracted he complained OF
IccHUS UIONSN, IaiO uON ouu III iSV
hours died. No examination has as yet,
believe, been made, and it is not known
what caused his sudden death, as he seemed
TO have fully recovered from the ordinary
effects of the chloroform before leaving the
DENTISTS office.
The room on Augusta street formerly c.
cupicd by ker & Marion, agents Of the Pied
mont and Arlington Life Insurance Compa-
ny. has been rented aud very nicely tilted
up by tie Augusta National Bank, which
commences operations today. This bank
starts uuder very favorable auspices. 1t has
already paid.up capital of $4,000, owned
By many of the most solid and reliable buSl'
ness.iIen Of the county and city, an excellent
directory, efficient and popular officers, and
will, doubtless, prove very successful lnsll-
tuition.
The valuable property known as the Buf.
falo Gap Iron-Works, situated in Buta' o
Gap, in the western part of Augusta county,
was sold at public auction, in 'front.' OF the
courthouse, on last Monday, to G. Ii. Greene
and Ii. j. Rodgers, for the sum OF $40, 100.
Fires have been raging in the mountains
and woods around our city for the past
week, and much valuable timber has been
destroyed. 1t is hoped that they Were eX-
tingushed by the rain which fell evening
before last, although it was hardly extended
enough to accomplish this result. At one
time the property Of the Mount Terry Iron .
Works Company was in imminent danger,
and was only saved by the strenuous labor
of the citizens Of the neghborhood.

pILLsgURT'iS LAST .SQUIRT.

Col. Smiths "open letter. continues to
gall Eben F. Plllsbury down to the pres
ent time The statement which it made
that Pill>bury's name was identified with
all that was disloyal and despicable in
Maine pol ties. rankles in the breast OF
Pillsbury 1t annoys him exceedingly
He cannot forget it. For two weeks his
"open letters" to Mr.. Blaine ceased TO APP
pear in the Standard, but this week anoth-
er has appeared.
This last is in the main rehash Of the
ISLANDERS against Mr.. Blaine which have
been dished up in its columns weekly in
other forms for the last halt dozen years,
and which have so nauseated its readers
that the most intelligent never read them.
and some of them in consequence Of the
course of the Standard have abandoned
the party in disgust. They are so clearly
the work of personal malignity, envy and
hatred, that no man can mistake the mo-
tive They have never detached from him
single republican voter when he has
been candidate, and in the face of these
ISLANDERS MANY OF THELEADING DEM
OCRATS OF AUGUSTA AND KENNE-
Bee COUNTY HAVE AGAIN AND
AGAIN, FROM PURE PERSONAL RE-
SPECT FOR MIR. BLAINE, VOTED FOR
HIM AS A MEMBER of CONGRESS.
Mr.. Blaine has taken no notice whatever
of Pillsbury's "open letters" They carry
their anidote with them. They are harm
less Mr.. Blaine and the republican
party at least.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1875-09-03
In accordance with their practice

In accordance with their practice of
charging Mr.. Blaine with being the author
of all the evils and misfortunes which
happen in the country, the Bangor Com
mercial and Maine Standard are now &C
cusing him of being responsible for the
recent failure OF the Bank OF California,
the failure of commercial firm in Balti-
more, and the failure of Lee & Shepard in
Boston. and Lee. Shepard g. Dillingham;
in New York. 1t excites surprise that
they have not held him accountable for
Boss Tweed's stealings, for the Herze-
govinan rebellion. the grasshoppers in
Kansas, and the potato rot in Maine.
There is no limit to the evils a diseased
and lively imagination might not attribute
to Mr.. Blaine. There are plenty of per
sons In the Insane Hospital who are quite
equal to Emery and Pillsbury in that kind
of thing.
