Early on Saturday morning States
attorney Bates was sent for, Merchant
was arrested, and on Monday and
Tuesday the preliminary examination
was held, before Justice w. P. Smith
of this place. The doctors were ex-
amined, with two or three other wit
nesses, when the prisoner waived fur
Their examination and was held over to
the December term of county court in
the sum of $500, on the charge of
manslaughter. He procured bail.
Very naturally the people of Barnet
are much excited over this terrible af-
fair. Merchant had no idea of the re-
suit of the blow he gave Morgan, and
is much wrought up by the deed he
has committed. Merchant formerly
lived in this town, is a Frenchman,
and was complained of once for selling
fluid said to be intoxicating, but
States Attorney Carter failed to con-
Wet him. RumOr says Morgan's debt
was for corn beer. Morgan is the
youngest of large family of boys, five
of whom were in the Union army.
Their besetting sin is love of strong
drink.

just before she started on her Southern
trip, babe her God-speed and evidenced
his interest in the cause for which she
labored. She referred to the feeling at
the South regarding temperance work,
and said the people there were closely
united with the Northern people in the
effort to enhance sobriety. She gave
many instances to prove that through
out the South the women were accom-
plishing something in this direction.
She compared the existence of chival-
ry at the South to the lack OF it at the
North - especially in this matter of
temperance,-andla mented because of
the contrast. Her remarks were par
ticularly edifying to the MEM
beers of the union, and gave those
outside of the fold an idea of
what had been done in temperance
work. Miss Willard is an interesting
speaker and is doing great deal OF
good for the cause which she has at
heart. 4-t..t.. ..."
The meetings of the convention were
well attended and considerable inter
est shown by members. We have no
doubt that the cause for which the
women are working will receive new
impetus from this annual meeting, and
good results be manifest in different
parts of the state.

"A serious breakdown occurred at
the scale works on Wednesday before
noon. A belt twisted about the main
shaft coupling until it broke the end
hanger, when the first section of shaft
ing with pulleys fell to the floor, and
this pulled down the next section, and
that the next, until some seventy-five
feet or more of shafting and pulleys
were wrenched from their position and
lay a broken and twisted mass on the
floor of the shop. Fortunately no one
was hurt, and only one machine-a
beam marking machine-was badly
broken. By betting down from the
main shaft in the second story many
of the machines were at once started,
and nearly all the more important ma
chimes will be running within two days.
1t will require perhaps a week to get
the whole line up and running. 1t is
fortunate that so little delay will be
occasioned by what at first seemed to
be a much more serious accident.
The company were never before so
pressed with orders. The weekly pro-
duction averages over fourteen hun
bred scales.

Tragedy at Barnet.

Barnet was on Friday forenoon last
the scene of an assault which grew out
of very tritiing matter, but which
brought death to one man and the pen
atty of the law upon another. The
parties in the affair were William Nor
gan and Lewis Merchant, the first
about 10 years old and the other about
81. The facts of the case are as fol-
lows:
Morgan was owing Merchant a small
sum of money, about 80 cents, for
something i'll the grocery line. On
Friday, about noon, Morgan came to
the village, and Merchant saw him as
he neared his house, and spoke to his
sOn-in-law who was in the house, say
ing in effect: "There goes Morgan.
am going to dun him." The son-in
law tried to dissuade him, but Merchant
said he had dunned Morgan before, and
would dun him again. When Morgan
came along Merchant spoke to him
about the pay, and Morgan replied
that "When you get that money you'll
know it." Merchant replied with a
few words, and there was some further
talk between them, when Merchant
told him to step out into the shed and
he would take it out of him. Morgan
said there was no need of doing that !;
Merchant might take it out of him
where he was. Morgan squared off as
if to fight, but did not strike Merchant !;
but the latter struck Morgan on the
head as he says with his fist. The
son-in-law then stepped between them
and told Morgan to leave-which the
latter did ut once. He went first to
the railroad to speak with a section
hand, and then started for home. On
the way he caught ride, but was soon
obliged to get ont of the wagon because
it Jared him too much. When he
reached the house he complained bit
terly of his head, and asked his mother
to get him something to rest on. She
brought couple of pillows, he lay
down, and soon fell into a dOze, after
having vOmited some. He lay in that
condition from two o'clock p. IN. until
about five, his mother thinking that he
was only asleep. At five o'clock an
ether son came in and found him I'M
conscious. A physician was sent for
who thought him suffering from apo
plexy, and prescribed accordingly ;
but before he died it was learned that
he had been struck. He never rallied
from that stupor, but died about two
the next morning. t.s. ...s
At the post mOrtem examination by
Drs. Brooks, Hazeltine, Stiles, Marden
and Cilley, it was found that the skull
was fractured, and eliot of blood was
discovered on the brain, which indicat-
ed a rupture of one of the arteries
/ The cut was about an inch and a hal
long, and just over the left ear. TIL,

sufficient to produce death, and there

on some former years, it is good and

"Creation" in the evening those who
were present had an opportunity to
hear their voices in the solo parts, and
report them as remarkably good. The
orchestra are expected this noon, and
the entertainments i'll which the pub
lie will be especially interested are the
matinees at three o'clock to day and
tomorrow, and the grand concerts on
Thursday and Friday evenings. All
these entertainments promise to be
very choice. There are plenty of good
seats at Howard & ROwel's, where a
plan of the church can be seen until
seven o'clock each evening, after which
the plan will be at the church.

When a deputy sheriff of Essex
county comes to a Caledonia county
fair and tries to pick up little some
thing by selling rum, he deserves not
only the regulation fine and costs, but
dismissal from the peoples service.
What reason is there to hope for a just
administration of faw-what use is
the prohibitory or any other enact
ment for public welfare, so long as a
county official throws his influence and
personal effort against it The sheriff
of Essex county should look up this
law-breaking subordinate and give
him no further chance to disgrace the
county.

On Friday afternoon last am acct

On Friday afternoon last an acct
dent occurred at the Portland st.
crossing" near this village, which came
very near proving fatal to three per-
sons. A daughter of Robert Bailey, of
Concord, and B. Franklinis wife and
child, while driving across the railroad
track in the locality mentioned, were
struck by passing freight train which
had not been discovered by them until
too late. The buggy was slightly in
iured, the horse thrown down into the
cattle guard and hurt so as to necessi-
tate its being killed; but strange to
say the occupants of the buggy were
not materially hurt 1t was very
narrow escape, however. The crossing
at that place is rather blind one, and
parties cannot be too cautious about
driving over it. We would suggest
that the railroad companies interested
might profitably keep fiagman at that
crossing to prevent accidents.
