BARRE.-In the death of Mr.. Nathan
Trow, Barre has lost one of her most pros
porous and enterprising citizens. Mr..
Trow was born November 9th, 1903. and
therefore had just passed his seventeen
wear. He has lived on the same farm since
he was married forty years ago. No farm
in town has been kept in better order, or
better fenced, mostly in stone wall laid by
his own hands. Always busy and indus
trious, he had place for everything, and
everything was to be found in its place
Although Mr.. Trow had IL good start in
the world by the gift of his farm from his
father, it has been kept in such thrift, and
bv good management has we'll demonstra-
ted the fact that farming will pay. Wei
arranged and neatly kept buildings, sur
rounded by beautiful shade trees, with ;
family ever ready to second his efforts, he
had become one Of the wealthy men il
town. He has taken lively interest il
the prosperity of the fork mandatory
assisting both in regard to funds, and as ;
director, devoting much time and labo
for its success. Such men we need, AM
not only the family but the people of tn
town will sadly feel the loss.
John Trow, the young man who was s.
severely hurt two weeks ago, is now doini
we'll with very fair prospect of recovery
Fred NJ. French, younger brother c
James NJ. French, is now on the gain, an
the prospects are good that he will soor
be we'll again.
The place known as the Deacon Clar
place, has been purchased by Mr.. ALE
! T. Wood as an addition to his farm.
Mr.. Loren Ketchum killed pig eigE
!, months and eight days old, that whe
dressed weighed 58S pounds.

Wings Not Furled.

The Leavenworth Press declares that
seven the EAGLE has furled its wings

he is defeated the people of Kansas will

about. As to the other criticisms Of
the Press upon the EAGLES last weeks

fore respectfully recommend that an APP
preparation be made as military con-
tingent fund, sufficient in amount
should circumstances at any time require
ito uniform, mount, equip and pay
q limited number of reliable, discreet
men, under the command of an efficient
officer, whose duty it shall be, at such
times and places as may be deemed adj
visable, to act as o patrol on the from
tier, and promptly give warning of eve
~ approach Of danger, and thus the cit
izen, having due notice, and promptly
aided in his defense by the State, could
be made secure in the enjoyment of his
life and property.
Such an appropriation should have
thrown around it such stringent safe
guards as would require strict account
ability from every officer or person hav-
ing charge of the disbursement of any
portion of such fund.
And further recommend that CON-
mittee be appointed to ascertain the ex-
tent of the damage sustained by the cit
liens from the raid by said Indians, to
the end that necessary steps may be Ia
ken to secure the payment thereof.
transmit herewith the biennial re-
ports Of the State officers. These re-
ports furnish very full, complete, and

MAINE ELECTION.
The Question Transferred tn the
Courts.

AUGUSTA, Nix, November 2l.-The
Advisory Committee of the Republican
party have all gone TO their homes, in
view Of the fact that the case fer the
present is transferred to the Supreme
Judicial Court. The committee desire
to have it stated, however, rs TACT OF
large importance in their judgment,
not one member OF the Republican
party has been permitted to see the
election returns since the day Of cleo
ton, and they state a. result OF their
examination that for the first time in
the history OF Maine the privilege
OF inspecting the returns has been con-
fined exclusively 10 one party, and in
this ease TO the members OF the defeated
party. Judge Libby and Judge DanfOrth
OF this county received telegraphic
inquiry from Chief Justice Appleton
whether they deemed it expedient to
assemble the entire Supreme Judicial
court in this city, on Monday, to deter
mine the extent OF its jurisdiction in the
premises, and especially TO consider the
applicgtiOn for a writ of mdRddlatis to
compel the Secretary Of State or COun-
ell TO exhibit the election returns in
time 10 have the corrections made un-
der the statute. 10 is understood that
both Judges answered the Chief Justice,
advising the assemblage Of ful. court.
Messrs. Baker & Baker, Hon. Nathan
Webb and Hon. Thos. b. Reed will ap-
pear as counsel for those who demand
the right To examine the returns. At
Mcclellan will represent
the State government, and will be aided
by VIM. l.. Putnam, OF Portland.

pose of influencing the market. In adj
dition to this the depression was no
doubt assisted by certain banks calling
in doubtful loans and using sharper
scrutiny in other loans which they held.
Some banks have been lax in their vigl-
lance, and the sharper tone OF the de-
cline frightened them. The prevailing
opinion at the close was that the mar
ket has at last turned, but reactions will
doubtless occur, and other attempts will
be made TO break down theprices. Smaller
operators should be cautious. Several
hundred shares were sold out "under
rule" to-day for the account OF +. Liver

vania railroad has taken advantage OF
the depression to buy large amount OF

SAN FRANCISCO SENSATION.
IsGen. Grant Becoming Insane?
From the San Francisco News Letter.


Rumors are afoat that Gen. Grant
shows signs OF malsdy that is
hereditary in his family. 1t is said that
his father, Jesse Grant, was afflicted
with softening OF the brain before he
was 30 wears Of age, and that during the
last wear Of his life was little more than
an imbecile.
Oryille Grant, whose eccentric
conduct in California only last year will
be remembered, has since been an in
mate in the New Jersey insane asylum.
IL is also said that one Of the Generals
sisters has been afflicted the same way.
Many people who have met Gen.
Grant since his arrival in san Francisco
have noticed an occasional wild, strange
look in his eve. Often, when
ing with gentlemen, and even with old
friends, he has stopped short in the
middle OF sentence and hesitated,
sometimes for a full moment, before
completing it.
At San Jose he was introduced tO a
number OF soldiers who fought " th
him at Fort DOnelsOn. Instead Of greet.
ing them cordially, be turned half round
and simply stared at them over bis
shoulder, and never said a word.
Again, at stockton and at MADEIRA, he
was presented TO a number OF his old
comrades in the Mexican war, but the
General treated them in the coolest
manner, and in a way that left the i'm
preston on every one present that he
was displeased at meeting them. These,
and many other instances OF his peculiar
conduct, 90 TO show that il is sad prob
ability that his mind is commencing 10
weaken.
While in the Presidential chair, Gen.
Grant was noted for his affable greetings
to all his visitors, and on no other hy-
pothesis can the great change in his
manners be placed than that there il
something wrong in his mental faculties.
H<haps the great strain on him for the
90 en- years Of his eminent public en-
reef has had something 10 do with the
change in him that is now 50 painfully
observable.
Another evidence OF his approaching
affection is the unevenness OF his con.
yersatiOn. At times he will talk with
finency and ease, and then In a few
minutes relapse into an attitude Of Nor.
feet silence, and only answer questions
by "Yes" or "No."
