The public will learn with deep regret of the
death of the Hon. George T. Davis, which took
place at noon yesterday at his residence on the
corner of High and Pleasant streets. A little
over two weeks since Mr.. Davis suffered a
shock of paralysis, but till within a few days
he continued to improve and his friends were
encouraged to believe that his life would be
spared, but recently his disease assumed an
unfavorable turn, and yesterday noon he
peacefully passed away in the sixty-sixth wear
of his age.
Mr.. Davis was native of Sandwich, Mass.
where he was born January Is, 1910. He
graduated at Harvard College in 1929 in the
same class with Oliver Wendell Holmes, and
afterwards entered upon the study of law. He
was admitted to the bar in 1882 and com memo,
ed the practice of the law at Greenfield. Mass,
where he rapidly rose to eminence in his pro-
fession. For some years he was associated
with Mr.. Deyens, now Attorney General of the
United States. In 1889 and 1910 he was a
member of the Massachusetts Senate, and in
1851 to 1858 he represented his district in the
national Congress. While a member of this
body he pronounced a eulogy upon Mr.. Web
ster, which was one of the most brilliant of the
many orations delivered upon the life
of that distinguished statesman. During
his congressional career he bore prom
inent part in all the debates on the notable
questions of the day, and though he served but
one term, the Congressional Globe contains
abundant evidences of his wide information,
his eloquence and his readiness in debate. He
was an original abolitionst, but his warm friend
ship for Mr.. Webster betrayed him as it did
many others, into following that distinguished
statesman in his defence of the fugitive slave
law.
Mr.. Davis was gentleman of fine literary
taste and wide culture Thackeray said of him
that he was the best conversationelist he ever
met Few men had a larger fund of informa-
nation from which to draw, and few indeed
were more affable in their intercourse with
their fellow men. For nearly ten years he has
resided in this city, where his brilliant parts
and genial nature have added scores of warm
friends to the many he left in his native state,
who will join with them in mourning his death
and doing honor to his memory.

Death and Obsequies of a WeII-known
CiiiZen of Windham.

Mr.. Jason Webb, a prominent citizen of
Windham Hill, died on Friday last after much
suffering, with Brights disease of the kidneys.
he was native of Casco, but came to this
town about thirty-ive years ago. He kept the
well known public house at the Hill until the
railroads changed the current of travel, since
which he has given his whole attention to his
farm. In 1864 he was elected representative to
the Legislature from the classed towns of
Windham and Scarborough. He was kind
hearted gentleman and a good neighbor. His
stepson and daughter, Mr.. Geo. II. Harding
and Mrs. Walter M. Jordan of Portland, in
their care of him in his last painful sickness,
have had an opportunity to partially repay his
tender and fatherly care of them in their early
childhood, for which they should always cher
ish his memory.
To-day Mr. Webb's funeral took place, the
Rev. Mr.. Gibbs of Portland officiating, after
an invitation by the Rev. Mr.. Wiswall of the
ancient Congregational church of the town.
After the usual services the Presumpscot Lodge
of Free Masons, of which the deceased was
member, escorted the remains to the grove
where their usual funeral rites were performed.
The spacious residence and grounds were filled
with sympathising friends who followed in a
long line to the grove, and all seemed impress
ed with the loss of good citizen. He leaves a
widow in feeble health, who has the sympathy
of the entire community. Mr.. Webb's age was

DIR. ScHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP SEA WEED
TONIC AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vege-
table ingredients, and contain nothing which can be
injurious to the human constitution. Other rene.
dies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably
contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous
drug in all cases. and if taken freely by consumptye
PATIENTS it must do great injury; for its tendency is
to confne the morbid matter in the system, which
of course, must make cure impossible. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain a
particle OF opium: 1t is composed of powerful but
harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver
stomach and blood, and thus correct all morbid
secretions and expel all the diseased matter from the
body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schencks Pulmonc
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate in this way, it is
obvious they are the only genuine cure for
Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle of this
invaluable medicine is accompanied by full directions
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal Office,
corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday, where all letters TOR advice must be
addressed.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENTS Saturday evening
at about $50 o'clock, Mr. Oh aries FL, Meaerve
drove up in front of the City Building and
alighted from his carriage. Just as he stepped
to the sidewalk the horse started to run. The
carriage collided with that of Deputy Sheriff
Parker twisting the axle of the latter badly.
At Chestnut street the horse kicked himself
clear of the body of the carriage and went up
the street with the forward axle and thlls
clinging to him. He dashed along at fright
ful rate, first on the sidewak and then taking
the street. The street was crowded at the time
and the escape of the crowd was miraculous,
just before reaching Brown street the horse
struck William Bowen, knocking him down
and iLjuring him badly. He was taken to the
apothecary store of Mr.. Schlotterbeck and af.
forwards taken to his home on Hanover street.
The horse continued on his course to High
street where be was stopped.
Saturday morning a horse took fright at q
horse car on Congress street., and ran away,
knocking down little girl living on Centre
street, who was passing, and the wheel passed
over both feet, bruising them badly but break
ing no bones. She was taken into Sturgis'
her feet bound up, and she was then taken to
her home.
