Death Of Hon. Geo.P. s.waiI.

Hon. George p. Sewall died at his home in
Oldtown. on the 30th ult. The Bangor Wing
Of Saturday SAYS: Mr.. Sewall had reached
the age Of 20 years and eight months. hut had
been in very feeble health for the past year.
On Wednesday of last week he had shock
Of paralysis which affected his lett side. and
he continued to sink until his death. Mr..
Sewall was born in Bath. April cath. 1911.
He studicd law in the same office with the
late Governor Samuel Cony who afterwards
married Mr.. Sewall's sister and formed law
partnership with him in Oldtown. Mr.. Sewall
was man of prominence in public and po-
litical life for many years. He served re-
peatedly in the State Legislature, and was
Speaker of the House in 1851 and 1852. He
was appointed Collector of Bangor by Frank.
lin Pierce. and held the office of Collector of
Internal Revenue under President Lincoln.
Throughout the war of the rebellion he was
staunch loyalist, acting earnestly with the
Union party to sustain the Government
Since the war he has acted with the demo-
cratic party. but for some years has taken a
less prominent part in public affairs than for
mcrly. Mr.. Sewsll was n man of fine abili-
tiles, with keen sense of hamor and very
genial and social disposition. His exper-
fence covered long period of the history of
this region and he was widely known through
out the State. He love a good story, and
could tell one with excellent effect. His
partisanship though positive was not rancor-
Gus and did not affect his pleasant social re-
lations with political opponents. For the
past year he has been in very precarious
and feeble condition, and has been the object
Of the most unremitting and affectionate care.

sEssENGHAUs VS.. FROST.
Mr.. Frost's Counsel Files Motion to
Suppress Afiidavits.
WAsH1SGrox. ian. l.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l.
F. ]. Donovan of St. Louis. counsel for
Representative Frost, has filed motion to
suppress all affidavits in support of the con-
test in the case of Sessinghaus VS.. Frost, from
the third congressional district of Missouri.
The grounds of the motion embody a very
grave charge, which the affidavit of the ro-
tary who took the dispositions admits to be true
In brief, the allegations are that since the
testimony was written it has been out of the
custody of the notary and safely kept as the
law demands. That it has been in the pos
session of strangers and not under the con
troll of the officer; that it has been by them
handled. written upon and altered; that with
out the knowledge or consent of Mr.. Frost
or his counsel it was all taken from
notary by one of the attorneys for Sessenghaus
kept in his Office and worked over by him /;
many names and places of residence of vot-
ers changed and parts of testimony erased.
The affidavits further state that the attorney
denied he had any of the dispositions, except
that of one day, but his letters are filed ac-
knowledging the receipt of testimony of a
great many days, and the notary swears he
had mady other letters to the same purport
and that he got him every page of the de-
positions. The House committee OF cleo
tons will meet next Thursday when it is ex-
pected that definite action will be taken
upon Donovan's motion.

From present appearances the prospect of
getting the Moravian aioat is very slim. The
accident is attributed to an unusually strong
current. Captain, officers and crew deserve
great praise for their GOODNESS under the try

in which the wants of the passengers were at
tended to. When they left the Island the
