SALEM. IND, January ll.-Faris
Dalton was one Of the old and esteemed
citizens Of this Washington county.
One Of his daughters died last Thurs.
day. The Saturday following the
body. followed by long procession of
friends, was conveyed to the little
; country cemetery near by. The aged
father and three daughters were near
the open grave, the undertaken removed
the coffin lid. and invited the friends
TO take a last look at deceased. The
father stepped to the side of the coffin,
cast one agonizing look upon the white
face of his daughter, and fell dead be-
side the bier. The three daughters
Immediately swooned away, and we're
also thought to be dead. The scene
that followed beggars description.
Agonlzing sobs came from all
present, and for time every one
seemed paralyzed with awe and fear
from what seemed an awful calamity
a visitation of God upon an entire
family. After a time the three daugh-
ters revived The aged fathers dead
body was carried back to his home and
prepared for burial; and now, side by
side father and daughter sleep in peace
awaiting the great awakening.

THE DEAD PRESIDENT.
The City in Mourning Over the Sad
Event.

Although the tolling bells Of Monday night
told the sad story of the death of the President,
when light broke over the city everyone was
eager to see and hear the story in full and the
newspaper Offices were beseiged by an excited
multitude. The papers all appeared in deep
mourning and told the story at a glance. There
was a great demand for the Press and Argus
and the presses of each were tested to their full
lest capacity. No great excitement was shown,
other than the eagerness for details, but rather
everyone acted as if it was expected and were
not at all surprised All seemed busy with
their own thoughts and the thoughts of the
bereaved wife and children who had lost SO
noble husband and father. The appearance
of the city was one of mourning, and on every
hand the black Grape might be seen. Flags
were all at half mast and in many parts of the
city they were heavily draped They were
displayed from the City Hall, the Custom
House, the British and Spanish legations, Ma
sonic Hall, Odd Fellows Hall, Pythian Hall,
the Falmouth, United States and Preble
Houses, the Observatory the Engine house
and other public buildings. On every street
private flags told the same story, in their silent
way, and in the harbor nearly every vessels
mast bore the same signal of death. Many of
the stores were heavily draped and some of
them in a most tasteful manner. Noticeable
among these were the stores of G, T. Davis
Roesel, Stubbs Bros Eastman Bros. & Ban
croft, the Eureka Dollar Store, Deering, Milli-
ken g. Co., and the Sunday Times office. In
one of the windows OF Eastman Bros. & Ban
croft was large motto with the following in
scription "Most sacriligious murder hath
broke open the Lords annopted temple and
stole from thence the life of the buidiDg;" in
the other was handsome steel engraving of
the late President. Both were overhung and
surrounded by black and white bunting, in
graceful festoons, and the whole presented
tasteful appearance.
The comments that were heard on every
hand were all in that same voice, expressing
deep sorrow for the bereaved family and wrath
at the villain Guiteau. The feeling against
the latter reached high point and some even
went SO far as TO condemn Mason for not being
better marksman. Many wished that the
New Jersey authorities would demand the as
sassin, as mentioned in the Associated Press
dispatches, that the people might get chance
to wreak their vengeance on him. There
seemed to be general sympathy expressed for
the new President and all wished him success
il. his new office. No action has yet been
taken by the City government.

han, after which mass was celebrated and an

lowing the ceremony was reception from nine
until one, at the residence of the brid es
parents, and the happy pair left for Boston
taking with them the best wishes of their
many friends AS they left the house for the
depot wishes OF good luck were sent after
them in the shape OF the historic slipper.

Robbers Confess.

VIII Humphreys, now in Jail in this city,
who was arrested in Lewiston with Milton Ed
wards, in connection with the robbery of Mr..
NJ Steadman's house in that city, has made
a confession which shows he and Edwards and
two other Lewiston fellows to have been the
perpetrators of the mysterious series of small
robberies which have occurred in Aadroscog-
gin county and its vicinity, the past summer.
Besides robbing Mr.. Coffin's store in Bruins
wick, they entered DR.. Fosters house at Lis
bon and stole some clothing. They committed
the Mechanic Falls burglary and also the re-
cent burglary in Oxford. Sheriff Littlefeld
came to this city from Auburn jail with Mil
ton Edwards on Saturday. and the city officials
now have him in charge, with the intent to se-
cure an indictment against him for the Bruins
wick robbery, on Humphreys testimony The
Lewiston police have attempted to secure the
other fellows implicated, but are unable to
find them. The confession of Humphreys
clears up several matters that were very puz-
zling to the officers OF the law, and will keep
himself and Edwards in doors for long time.
