The young peoples literary society of
Shoreham gave an entertainment at the
Congregational church last Wednesday
evening, consisting OF aalutatory by r.
0. Bascom, music and tableaux, presidents
address, by Ii. M. Boyce; drama, "Among
the breakers" Mrs. Jarley's wax works,
and valedlctory by Miss Minnie L. Plat.
We have not time to mention all the
parts that were well performed. but among
those in the drama who performed their
parts with high degree of excellence, We
would name Mr.. Q. X. Witherell as "Bruce
Hunter" whose self-possesslon and digni-
fed demeauor admirably suited him for
that character; Tom. w. Dorm as "Scud"
must not be forgotten for his original con.
ception of the character too much cannot
be said. Gal" Nottingham as Larry Dl-

morning, he discovered appearances of
blood in the finishing room; and that
shirt and pair of pantaloons of his had
been used by Reed, as he supposed, in wip-
ing up the blood and that he, Anthony,
burned them, fearing that he might be sus-
pected, but that he was not present and
knew nothing of the murder.
At another time he stated that he was
present when the murder was committed;
that Reed asked him for the use Of the
shop, and asked If he, Anthony, did not
want part of Green's money; that he
went 10 the north part of the town, and.
on his return, found Reed and Green in the
shop, sitting upon his bunk before the fire,
and that they had bottle of spirits that
Reed got up, took the bottle, went around
the bunk and set 1t upon the finishing
bench; and that Reed then struck Green
with a walnut stick, about two feet six
inches in length that Green fell to the
north, and Reed repeated the blows that
Green rose up and fell to the south, In the
corner back of the door that Green
kicked with his feet, and that he, Anthony,
put his foot upon Green's feet to prevent
him from kicking over the bunk and max
ing noise; that he went out several times
to see if any person was coming, and that
Reed placed the body nndcr the wood
where 1t was found that they were en-
ployed during the greater part of the night
in cleaning up the blood, using shirt and
pair of pantaloons for that purpose and
that Reed then went away and he went to
bed.
Anthony was indicted, convicted and
sentenced to be hung, but "cheated the
"gallows" by taking his own life by hang
ing himself in his cell on the morning of
the day set for his execution, Friday, April
ID, 1914. Justice was speedy in those days.
Green was murdered February 15 his
body was found and Anthony was arrested
February Is a special term of the supreme
court was convened February 20, an indict-
ment found March 1, and the trial CON-
menced March 4, and concluded the same
day, and Anthony sentenced to be executed

cide-all within two months. Contrast
1t with the course of justice at the present
day. Mrs. Anna Freeze, murdered June

Douglas as Paragraph" Miss Emma Cas-
well as smother Clarey," and Miss Minnie
Plat as "Bess Starbright," all performed
their parts surprisingly well. II. D. Bas-
com personated the character of "David
Murray" to perfection.
The acting was all well done and the fine
arrangement of the stage added much TO
the enjoyment Of the whole entertainment.
Among the tableaux we notice the
"Bungtown choir" and "Clnging to the
cross" as being more than usually merit
orious. Miss Marcia Douglas as "Mrs.
Jarley," was uncommonly exuberant and
well merited the hearty applause that was
given her.
The salutatory showed much depth of
thought and was unusually well delivered.
The presidents address was most able
and eloquent. The valedictory was not
only fine In sentiment, but choice in Ian
guage, and was perfectly delivered.
Among the musicians we find it hard to
discriminate.
We suggest the names of Mrs. N. B.
Douglas, Mrs. e. r. Witherell, Misses
Perry and Ward and Tom w. Dorm as be-
ing performers of more than ordinary
ability.
The whole performance was such as we

A large audience was present of very
nearly five hundred persons, including rep
resentatives from Benson, Bridport, Bran

the most successful and enjoyable that has

some years and one that the Shoreham

favorably upon their home talent, taste and

Speaker Randall has disappointed his

friends and COMPOUNDED the nllbusters by
ruling that "where the constitution of the
d" United States directs anything to be
&" done, and where law under the consti-
"tution directs anything to be done, 1t is
" not in order to do anything to prevent it,"
The effect Of this ruling, If he sticks to it,
will be to defeat all attempts to delay the
count, by dilatory motions, until after the
fourth of March, and so prevent an cleo
ton Of president and vice president of the
United States. With the votes of Florida,
Louisiana and Oregon counted for Hayes,
there hardly now seems any possibility but
that Rutherford B. Hayes will be inaugu-
rated president one week from to-day

Extraordinary and Terrible Tragedy

SpalatZo, in the Austrian Province
of Dalmatia was few weeks ago the
scene of most extraordinary and ter
ribie tragedy. Opposite the parish
church lived a householder named
Tonic, who, becoming -uddenly prey
to mad rage, killed his wife and then
his lather, who had attempted to re-
strain him. When the police came
they found that Tonic had every
where eflectually barred an entry,
and taken up commanding position
with musket and plenty of ammuni-
ton. They were therefore compelled
to turn back, and meanwhile Tonic
put bullet through young man who
crossed the street. and severely wound
ed woman. The police then drew
Gordon around the house. but To-
mics musket commanded the space be-
tween the house, the church and the
top of the adjacent streets, and no
one dared to eros the street or APP
proach the body of the young man.
At length a clergyman, who had great
influence with Tonic, bravely went
forward and implored him at least 10
give up to his care hij little child.
The fathers answer to this appeal
was by throwing out her limbs one by
one, Then he resumed his fusilade.
The authorities would not allow the
police to fire, inasmuch as they deemed
the man bereft of reason. so the
only course was to continue the block
AIDE. All sorts of devices were sug-
gested. Some were for firing on Tonic
with Supplying cartridges, others for
concentrating the ire-engine force on
the house, and all this time the I'M
happy sexton of the parish was send
ing up from the beethoven wall for
food, be having gone to ring the bell
just before the tragedy began, and ms
only mode of egress being in front OF
the maniac's window. After the
blockade had lasted two days and
Tonic showed no signs of giving IN,
it was resolved TO keep up perfect
hailstorm of stones at all the WIN
dows of the house while the door was
forced. The mailman flew to the gar
ret, where it was no easy matter 10
disarm without killing. Altogether,
he had killed four and woanded live
persons.
