until evening. when they effected an entrance
IN some way into Wyman's saw mill, and
made bed in the shavings. About midnight
they assert they saw light, and left the mill
thinking it was near daybreak They went
down to Seth Clark's and woke that gentle

next proceeded to the augusta House, where
they were permitted TO STAY until morning.

Sudden Death,
The Bath correspondent of the Portland
Press and Argus says that Thursday evening.
shortly after seven o'clock "a Mr.. ID. C.
Gould was coming down Winter street, from
tea, he noticed dog with mans hat in his
mouth, running to and fro. Upon the oppo-
site side of the street was the PROSTATE body
Of gentleman, who proved to be Mr. J. r.
Hitchcock, the well known ship builder of
Bath. Mr.. Hitchcock had left his home to
call upon his partner, Mr.. z. II. Blair. and
while walking up the hill had been seized
with the sudden attack which proved fatal.

cared for the body.

Times aren't good! Ohno! To illustrate:
Messrs. Gay and Parsons who manufacture
patent ratchet screw-driver handles and
plates ordered in January 1000 handles and
the same number of blades. The firm with
which they do business was so overstocked
with orders, that for more than six weeks
they were unable to attend TO the order, and
then ONLY portion Of the material was sent.
The slate unplcasantness' in Maine
directed the attention Of the Taxpayers Of the
State to the necessity Of maintaining an
effective local military organization. We
have in Augusta n company which, during
the entire struggle, when an outbreak seemed
liable to arise at any moment. held them
selves in readiness to respond to the call OF
duty Night after night they were summoned
to arms. at a half-hour's notice. and always
cheerfuly oheycd the command. Seven
years ago the State Of Maine furnished the
Capital Guards with regulation uniforms
When the company was organized dozen
years ago the members purchased dress uni
forms at their own expense. These have
been handed down from man to man; but the
touch of time has made sad inroads with the
suits. The blue coats are so faded. AID the
brass buttons so corroded that the boys look
something like Falstaff's company when they
parade. 1t ii necessary for the soldiers to

Fashioned so long ago
Look out. or they'll tear!
The boys need new suits badly. and every
patriotic citizen in Augusta should put his
hand in his pocket and do his part towards
providing them. The men who compose the
rank and file of the Capital Guards are mainly
mechanics who can ill afford to go to the ex-
pense of providing themselves with new
suits. When the Auburn company was sum-
montd to Augusta, the business men OF Lew
iston and Auburn told the soldiers that they
would compensate them for the wear and tear
Of uniforms incident to garrison duty. IL
seems to us that once in twelve years the
business men of Augusta can AFFORD to DO
something towards putting the Capital Guards
on par with other companies Of the state

On the open plain it looked gloomy
for William, but his presence Of minG
