Abner Toothaker of Phillips.

MIR. EDITOR:-From a special dispatch to
your paper, 1 learn of the death of Abner
Toothaker. No business man in Franklin
county would be more missed than he. He
was son of John Toothaker, and was born
in Bowdoinham, in log house in 1914. His
father moved to New Portland and from
thence to No. 3, second range. now Rangeley,
in 1920. James Rangeley, an Englishman of
wealth, became the owner of the township and
went there to make home for his family
about the same time. The Toothaker family
was the fourth who made their home on the
shores of the beautiful Rangeley lake, now SO
much frequented by tourists and sportsmen.
Mr.. Toothaker boarded Rangeley's men and
all his company. AS soon as the sons were old
enough they were employed by the proprietor
about his farm or mills where were sawed the
clearest clapboards from the best of the choice
pines. which were boated to the head of the
lake, and thence in winter over private road
to Madrid these clapboards were hauled by
two six OK teams by way of Pennington 70
miles to Hallowell to be shipped. These
heavy teams over roads. filed with snow at
every trip were driven by Abner Toothaker
and brother
After the Rangeley timber lands had be-
come the property of David Pingree of Salem,
and the great dam had been built, Abner
Toothaker became his operating agent, and
continued after Pingree's death until the
whole water power was purchased by the
Lewiston parties in 1877. Mr.. Toothak er at
the time Of his death was large real estate
owner, including hotel in Rangeley to which
place it was his intention to obtain the con-
tinuation of the Sandy River Railroad of
which he was president; it could not have been
built to Phillips without his assistance and
active management. w. G.

An Ingenious Prison Convict.

The Thomaston Herald says that Haines the
Rockland murderer has lately made a toy
house after the French style. 1t is about four
feet high by two deep and four long; is as nice
ly built as the best mansion, with slate roof
and fancy chimneys; has two stories, the low
er one being devoted to kitchen and dining
hall, the upper story to a drawing room and
best chamber. The floor of the dining hall is
inlaid with cherry and mahogany, 1920 sepa-
rate pieces Of wood being used in laying it; the
kitchen is also inlaid, but less extensively.
The furnishings are somewhat regal for small
parsonage. They consist of the usual kitchen
paraphernalia, including hard wood tables with
draw ers in them, roller for long towel, dishes,
even to an old lady with specs who eyes the
visitor very suspiciously. In the dining-room
or hall large chandelier ponds above a black
walnut table on which rests a handsome tete-a-
tete SET made of wood, painted blue A side
board stands at the back of the room-merely
as an ornament. The sets in the drawingroom
and chamber are perfect marvels of mechani-
cal skill and Yankee ingenuity. The floors are
tastefully carpeted. A marble fireplace is in
the drawing room and i'll rack at its side
stand the shovel and tongs all ready to ''poke
up the fire" which merrily burns behind the
CRATE. The chairs are just as nicely made and
upholstered as though they had been intended
for the President of the United States The
walls and windows of the room are well adorn-
ed and the house, as a whole, is a complete

Libel Suit Against the Argus.


William H. Bigelow of Augusta has through
his attorneys, Baker & Baker of Augusta,
brought libel suit against the Argus, laying
damages at $4,000. The writ is returnable
at the April term of the Superior Court at
Augusta. The suit is founded on the follow
ing paragraph which appeared in the Argus
of March 18th:
1t is asserted that it can be proved beyond
doubt that Bigelow and Squirting offered Mr..
Clark, if he would surrender his certificate a
large sum of money and also written promise
from Mr.. Blaine, "the foremost of American
statesmen" of two places in the Boston Gus
tom House.
A summons was served on Col Adams in
Deering Tuesday evening. Wednesdays
Argus contained the following:
A few days ago we referred to Mr.. Bigelow
as one of whom it had been asserted that he
was party in the alleged attempted bribery
of Mr.. Clark of NoblebOro. Our attention has
just been called to an article in the Kennebec
Journal, which says:
Mr.. VIM. H. Bigelow. of this city, whom the Ar
gus has represented as concerned in bribery. with
out iota of cause justice, will prosecute that
paper for libel forthwith unless it retracts it's
charge.
And after speaking of Mr. VIM H. Bigelow
as an honorable and respected Citizen" it
adds:
Gle is no more guilty than the editor of the
Argus"
The editor of the Argus has no personal ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Bigelow, never met him,
so far as recollected, and certainly has no de-
sire or intention to do him the least injustice.
We therefore accept the disclaimer of the
Journal in his behalf as settling the question;
and so far as anything we have said can be
construed as referring to and duplicating him.
or rejecting upon his character, we cheerfully
retract it as an injustice to him which we sim
cerely regret.

THE LIQUOR LAW.
George G. Frye Accused Of Liquor Sell
ing.

Yesterday morning Mr.. George c. Frye, tie
well known druggist at the north-easterly COR
ner of Lincoln Park, was tried in the NUM-
cipal Court on a charge of single sale of
brandy to Mrs. Mary A. G.. Holland last Sat
urday evening.
Mary A. G. Holland who gave her residence
as 90 St. Lawrence street, testified that on last
Saturday evening she stood on the sidewalk in
front Of the city liquor agency and saw large
numbers going in and coming out, making
purchases of liquor and carrying it away un.
questioned. She said that the sight made her
SO indignant that she resolved to have some
one indicted if she could. She had heard that
Mr.. Frye's store was regular rum shop, and
as that was the first place of business beyond
the agency she went there with the express
purpose OF getting Mr.. Frye to sell her some
liquor, intending afterwards to enter a COM
plant against him. She went into the store at
about o'clock and bought three cents worth
OF pressed sage and five cents worth of yellow
root, after which she asked the ceark if he
could sell her gill of brandy. He said that
ne could and proceeded to put it up for her.
He charged her forty cents for it, and think
ing that was too much she said half the guam
tity would answer her purpose, whereupon tn Q
clerk took half the brandy out OF the
bottle and sold her the remainder. She said
Mr.. Frye stood within three feet of his clerk
and saw the whole transaction.
Mr.. Frye testified that he had never seen
the woman before and that he had no knowl-
edge whatever of the transaction. On Satur-
day evening he was out walking from half
past seven to half-past eight o'clock. He said
that he had never authorized his clerks to sell
liquor in any way.
Deputy Sheriff Ring testified he received
warrant on Monday forenoon and went to the
store for the purpose of searching for liquor.
find any signs Of liquor. The clerk admitted
that he sold the liquor to the lady for use as a
medicine.
Hon. Nathan Webb appeared as counsel for
Mr.. Frye. He made an able plea contending
that if the lady obtained the small quantity
of brandy it was as medicine and was no
proof that Mr.. Frye carries on regular bust
ness as liquor dealer.
Judge Knight said that the fact of the sale
seemed to be pretty we'll proved. He there
upon fined Mr.. Frye $50 and costs. An appeal
was made from this decision and Mr.. Frye
furnished sureties to the amount of 5000 for
his appearance at the May term of the Supe-

Boston's New Elevator.

The city article of yesterdays Boston Jour
nal indicates that Boston merchants don't feel
like building an elevator for anybody, and
that finally they don't desire railroads to the
extent of putting out money to accommodate
them. The article says:
The proposition of the Commercial Club
that 1000 acres of flats be reserved for the rail-
roads for terminal facilities; that the State fill
up the flats and sell for a nominal figure to the
railroads u.s. in the opinion Of many, carrying
the devotion to grain export trade littleltoo
far. How many grain exporters are there in
Boston? There are certainly not dozen
firms, SO that any terminal facilities that are
provided by the State for railroads are for the
benefit of the railroads. the steamship lines and
the Western exporter. Hon. E. r. Nudge, in
his remarks at the meeting last week Of the
New England Manufacturers and Mechanics
Institute. said that we heard too much these
days about terminal facilities and steamboat
lines, and that we were liable to forget that
our great investments and interests were in
manufactures. AS gentleman remarked to
us yesterday, II believe in grain export trade
as much as any man, only don't propose to
go wild over it; but can see no reason why
the railroads should be supplied with terminal
facilities for their freight any more than for
their passengers"

Pap0r PI1lp

So much is being said about the paper pulp
which is 50 extensively used in the manufac-
ture of paper at this time that brief descrip-
ton Of the process of making it will be enter
tanning. Any white, soft wood may be used.
The bark is taken off, the knots, dark and de-
cayed places cut out. 1t is then put into a
large caldron and boiled, which extracts all
the glutinous matter and resin and renders it
SOFT 1t is then put on large stone grinder,
with water pouring on it all the time. The
grindstone wears off the fibres until they are
finer than sawdust, which float away into
receptacle. The water is drained off by means
of fine sieve, leaving the pulp, which con-
sists of fine fuzz or splinters Of wood. 1t is
white, and requires no bleaching, but is ready
to be mixed with rag pulp or anything else
that has strong fibre and receive the proper
constituents to make it into paste, after which
it is run off into paper sheets, whereas rags
have to be washed and bleached with chlori de
of lime, soda ash and alum, and such strong
chemicals, to take out the color. Then they
are picked to pieces and made into pulp. The
process by which wood pulp is made is purely
mechanical, and as any soft wood, such as cot
tonwood and poplar, may be used, it can be
made cheap say at about cent per pound

Tabulator Moody to Tabulator Fogg.

YORK, Me-, Mar. 22d, 1880.
To the Epitors Of the Lewiston Journal
have read what purports to be the views of
my friend Fogg, the ex-Councillor, as given
in an interview published in the Journal He
is kind enough to give me passing notice,
and among other things says:
II know for one thing, that he writes his
letters on Kittery Navy Yard paper. Why
does the Duke of York do this?''
Now, this is very small matter to have in
newspapers, but inasmuch as my friend makes
the interrogatory in your columns, you will, 1
think permit room to be given for the simple
answer, following:
In Dec, 1872, 1 was appointed by the Secre-
tary of the Navy, Hon. Geo. NJ. Robson, as
"Chief Accountant" of the Navy Yard Fat
Kittery, Maine. held position there for
about two years. For the office occupied by
the-chief accountant (who was accountable to
no one but the commandant), small amount
of stationery was furnished. On my leaving
the yard, took with my private effects per-
haps quire of paper with an official heading,
and sometimes within the last few years. when
| have got out of plain paper, I have used this,
running pen across the heading, and think
I may nave used few sheets within a few
months for the same reason. I may have writ
ten Mr.. Fogg and the ex-Gov. on that kind of
paper, for aught know, and hardly think
there can be any more significance attached TO
my doing this than there is to an Ex-Governor
using the paper of the Executive Department
with line drawn across the official heading,
OR for an ex-Councillor to use the official paper
of the Council, which thing at least have
not done. Yours respectfully,
E. G. MOODY.

Poetry Under Trying Circumstances.

footry Ouoor Trying circumstances.
The most intimate friends of Judge Knight
of our Municipal Court know of his fondness
for poetry, and of his special admiration of
Mrs. Hemans' poems. An incident which
happened some time last summer will illus
trate our statement.
The deputy sheriffs frequently have occasion
to search the freight trains arriving in the
night time from Portsmouth, for ale, and are
obliged to call up the Judge to obtain his sig
nature to the complaint and warrant, and
have the oath administered to them.
One night last summer, about one o'clock,
they rang the door bell of the Judge, who
shortly appeared in person at the door and
admitted the officers to the hall, clothed in his
long night robe. With solemn visage he
commenced repeating the familiar lines of
Mrs. Hemans, slightly altered:
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither, when the north winds
sing;
And stars to set; but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O. Ring
