Parker, the Guide, Dead.

Some Queer Reports in Circulation.
 Parker, the Adirondack guide who was charged with an assault upon lady relative of Senator Platt, of Connecticut, and who was shot after his escape from custody by Constable Cole at Long Lake, died at Forked Lake Tuesday morning, after having given his ante-mortem statement. It is alleged that Parker was cornered by the constable and shot because he would not submit, and that he remained lying where he was shot fof thirty hours before Dr.. Maritime arrived to attend him, and that when found he was without covering or care, and would allow no
 one to move him. Dr. Maritime had stretch
 CT made, had him put on it and rowed to the
 Forked Lake House, five miles away The
 ball entered the region of the stomach and cannot be found. Dr. Maritime says he never saw more pitiable sight nor 8 greater sufferer than Parker. Parties from the Adirondacks say there are ! two sides to the main story. and that sym pathy is about equally divided. The impress sion obtains that it was intended Parker should escape when he did, and that Cole | made an annoying blunder in attempting to I rearrest him. person justs returned from the north woods says the feeling in favor of | 1hEAoE 1S cOuuueO bO u sI1du numD6r OI bn6
 less reputable portion of the Adirondack
 community, and that the better class unani- ! mously condemned him and denounced his l crime. Parker's friends declared, on the | day of the shooting, that he would give him
 self up upon certain conditions, and mes- sage was sent to Senator Platt to
 that effect. The shooting and capture oc-
 cured before the message was received, but | the fact that it was sent seems to give color to the report that there was a truce, for a
 time, and some negotiations between the off cer and Parker, previous to his capture out of which the story now current in Parker's
 favor may have been manufactured. It is currently reported that Parker had said he ! would not be taken alive, and that Warren Cole could never take him, and the officer
 was undoubtedly prepared for desperate re-
 sistance, and for desperate measures.-Troy Times, August 10.'

Fred Osborn, the mulatto who attempted suicide in Norwich Tuesday night, and was re- gently employed at Osprey Beach, is in fair way to recovery. The ball, which was of 32 caliber, made a wound about five inches long, entering at the front of the abdomen and issuing at the left side. It is not thought that the abominal cavity was entered, and the physician hopes for his recovery. Osborn wants to die, and ayers that if he recovers from this wound lie will try it again.

The very Latest Test by pr. Lov,

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The contract for supplying the United States government with LOGO pounds of Baking Powder during the ensuing year has been awarded to Hackers Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. E. G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recommended by him for it's eDcelEencs, and because it contained Atgher percentage of oas (which means that it will make Rgster bread and biscuit) than either the ttl3oyag'' or any of the other cream-tartar baking pow ders which he examined. The samples ans lyzed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government commissioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impdrtal test, it's superiority is acknowl- edged, and the popular verdict so emphati- cally expressed in it's favor is fully sustained q.
