Tho Tate Oliver Dow.


The funeral of the late Oliver Dow. an aged
and prominent citizen of Buxton, will take
pl ace this, Monday, .afternoonsat theFree Bapt-
list church in West Buxton village,
Mr.. Dow was born in Phillipsburg, now Day
ton, July %, 1799 where he passed his early
wears. In 1922 he commenced business as
manufacturer and dealer in lumber at Modera-
ton Falls in Buxton, where he continued to
reside until his decease on the Sd inst In
1865 in consequence of failing health, he re
tired from business as lumber dealer, and
from general trade in which DE had been en-
gagged many years, and has since devoted h's
time to the care of his large estate, and to the
Buxton and Hollis Savings bank, of which he
has been president since its organization in
1868, and in which he took great interest. In
politicsl matters he was decided in his opin-
ions, but was never seeker for official honors.
He was however elected and served two con-
secntiye wears in the State Legislature. He
" az possessed of unusual business capacity and
foresight, and to this may be attributed his
continued success in a branch OF business IN
which many others with equal or greater ad-
yantages have failed to succeed
His loss will be severely felt BY the citizens
of Buxton and vicinity, who have SO long
known him and esteemed him as a kind and
obliging neighbor, and as worthy, honorable
and upright citizen

A So Hanson.

The late Asa Hanson, who deceased in this
city on the Sd inst, was one of our Oldest and
most respected citizens. He was born Dec. 8,
1899, and was therefore little more than SO
years of age. He came to this city about 1926
and was for several years in the grocery bust
ness in Market Square. In 1884 and '35 he
was a member of the Common Council, and in
1886 and ~ was in the Board of Aldermen.
In 1888 and '39 he, in company with Stephen
rockingham and w. d. Little, were City AS
SCISSORS. OF all his associates in these offices
only one (Mr. Little) is now living. When Mr.
Hanson came to this city, and for many years
afterward, he, with his wife, was connected
with the Society of Friends, but he subse-
quently became strong believer in spiritual
manifestations to which he adhered to the
close of his life. He had been for some time
In feeble health, but was about his ordinary
business until only a few days before his de-

A Brave Girl.

The Sunday Times says: Last Thursday,
while two girls were watching Curtis & Soule's
men cutting ice at Knightville, one of them,
Miss Mary Webster, about thirteen years old
ventured out on to thin ice, where they cut
and it had frozen over, and when about fifteen
feet away from solid ice she broke through land
was rapidly becoming chilled and about to
sink. None of the workmen dared to go on
the thin ice to her rescue, as it would not hold
them up an instant The young girls COM
panion, named Ferrill. about ele ven years old,
spoke up saying, "Well, | dare to go; if the ice
will hold me up, will save her; if it breaks,
then will die with her." She crawled along
the thin ice to her friend, and by careful ex-
ertions, aided by directions from the men. both
reached the strong ice safely.

The L.isk Attachment.

TIE Boston Post contained a statement that
Mr.. S. HI. Lsk, the flour dealer, had been at
tached, which was copied in Friday nights
Advertiser and Saturday mornings PRESS.
Mr.. Lisk states that he bought piano recently
and as he says, an agreement was made that
he should pay for it By deciding two house lots
in Saccarappa. Mr.. Lisk states the piano was
not the kind he bargained for and he refused
to deliver the deed iand ordered the instru-
ment taken away. This was not done but a
suit has been brought to collect pay for it and
an attachment put ON his property. Mr. Lisk
is abundantly able to pay for great many
pianos, but he does not propose tohave an infe-
rior one, he saws.

JUDGE WEBB.
He Takes the Oath of Office.

The commission of Hon. Nathan Weop as
District Judge of the United States for the
district of Maine was received Saturday noon.
He appeared before A. III. Davis, Esq, clerk
of Circuit Court, and took and subscribed the
oaths required by law to qualify him as such
judge.
The courts will be in session this forenoon.
Judge Webb was born in Portland, May Z,
1925. His father was the late Eli WEBB. Ee
was educated at Harvard college and gradu-
ated in the class of 1916. Among his Class
mates were Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,
who recently had the pleasure of voting for
his confirmation; Professors Francis j. Child
and Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard; Prof.
Fitz Edward Hall, who has made himself re-
putation as Sanscrit scholar; and John Austin
Stevens, editor of the Magazine of American
History. Mr.. Webb studied law in the office
of John Rand of this city, and was admitted to
the bar in 1849. 10 1857 he formed law
partnership with Gen. s. j. Anderson, which
continued until 1864. In 1854 and again In
1866, Mr.. Webb represented Portland in the
Maine Legislature. In 1865, after Mr. Jack
son retired from the practice of law Mr.. Webb
formed partnership with Mr.. Deblois, which
lasted until Mr.. Deblois' death. In 1865 Mr..
Webb was elected county attorney, entering
upon the duties of the office in January, 1866.
The trial of Francis Murphy, in 1866, for MUIR
der, was one of the last and one of the most
remarkable cases in which Mr.. Webb was con-
eerned as county attorney. The trial was con-
Quoted by Attorney General Frye, now Senator
- a. I knnx, sod hu
county attorney, and the evidence was pro
duced with a startling dramatic effect, as II
the murder had been re-enacted in court. In
1870 Mr.. Webb resigned the position of county
attorney and was appointed United States dis
trict attorney by President Grant and re-
appointed in 1874. Perhaps the most remark
able case duriug the eight years of his service
as district attorney, was the trial of the Boston
and Maine strikers in 1877 for conspiracy to
obstruct the United States mails. This was
the first case of the kind in the country, and
Mr.. Webb secured verdict for the govern
ment. In 1878 he was renominated by Presi-
dent Hayes, but declined a re-appointment.
Since that time he has been engaged in the
prgctice of his profession, in partnership with
T. Ell. Haskell, Esq. He was strongly recon-
mended to succeed Justice Clifford upon the
supreme bench of the United States, and his
appointment to fill the vacancy in the district
court was just recognition of well earned
eminence in his profession. This last promo
ton, like his previous appointments, has come
without solicitation, and he takes his seat up
on the bench to-day free from any obligation
save that which is imposed by his official oath.

J. Fl. Lowell of Waldoboro has received a
Phi Beta Kappa appointment at Amherst.
The Christian Union says: "The official cour-.
tesies which the people of Portland proposed
to offer to Mr.. Longfellow on his 10th birthday
are creditable both to the city and to the poet,
and are indicative of the high and unique re-
gard in which the sweetest and purest of
American singers is held by the people at
large. 1t is matter of regret that Mr.. Long
fellows indisposition prevents his acceptance
of this invitation When the society of
the metropolis is running after young man

BADLY Frozen

About g. 80 a. m. yesterday Simon Burns, an
old man, aged 81 years, rushed into Schlotter-
beck's drug store clad only in shirt and draw
ers, and apparently insane. He could give no
account of himself and was in terrible con-
dition, having been exposed to the fearful
storm for several hours. Officer Pickett was
called and notified DR.. Smith, who attended
the man. AT first it was feared he might lose
some Of his members as he was badly frost
bitten. Officer Pickett ascertained the mans
name and where he resided and, with the
physician, took him home about o'clock. He
had not been missed Yesterday afternoon he
was much better, and it is not thought he will
lose the use of his feet.

STILL ANOTHER.
The Result of Gambling.

Only the other morning we were called on to
record the sad results which the habit OF
drinking had entailed on young Hoyt trust
ed salesman for Twitchell & Chapman, and to
day we are called upon to notice another sales
man gone astray, this time from another firm
Messrs. w. Il. Chase & Co.. wholesale groc-
ers, had in their employ last year commercial
traveller by the name Of Charles w. Brown.
Mr.. Brown was a smart, active young man
about % years old, and resident of Massa-
chusetts, where he is very respectfully Connect
ed. In December last having no further occa-
sion for Mr.. Browns services, he left the
employ of the firm and since then, until re-
Gently, shas been out of business. A little
while ago Mr.. Brown obtained position, with
Boston house, similar Ito that he engaged
with w. Ell. Chase & Co., and on Friday last
arrived in Portland on the way to Bangor
During January Messrs w. H. Chase & Co.
sent out their bills as usual to their various
customers To their surprise many of them
have been returned with the information that
the presumed debtor held receipt. Investiga-
tons revealed the fact that these receipted
bills came from Browns customers. How
much he had appropriated is not yet known.
The firm learning that Brown was in town,
and stopping at the City Hotel, notified the
Marshal and officer Pickett, accompanied by
Mr.. w. P. Chase, proceeded to the hotel Fri
day night. 1t was nearly two o'clock when
Brown returned. He had been calling on a
lady to whom it is reported he has been very
attentive, and afterwsrd had spent the end OF
the evening with few friends. He was much
surprised to find himself arrested, but went to
the station with the officer without any at
tempted explanation. Saturday morning,
when officer Freeman Merrill asked his name
to record it, he gave the name of George w.
Sweet. Later he told Mr.. Chase that he had
taken the money and used it to play poker,
and that gambling had been the cause of his
downfall. He thought that-if his crime
should be discoyered-he could make ar
rangements with the firm to pay the sum by
instalments and escape the conse quence of his
crime. In this he failed.
We understand he is owing the City Hotel
also about $40 for board.

ing at Lewis Hall on Saturdays night could
hardly be called a success, for the reformers
The reason for there not being a larger turn

ness seemed to pervade.all present. The meet
ing was called to order by Mr.. E. o. Bailey.
chairman OF the committee, who nominated
: j. M. Adams, Esq, as chairman. Mr.. Adams
in accepting, made few well chosen remarks
in favor of the new movement, and said the
committee had written to number of towns in
different States and that several towns in
Rhode Island had their affairs conducted by a
council of seven members, and thought it a
good idea for Deering to adopt government
of that kind.
Remarks in favor of the movement were
