Died, at the residence of Elias Auder-
SOL, Smethport, Pa, April 2lst, lSS2,
August Bengtson, aged % years.
Death is always sad but the above was
unusually so owing to circumstances
connected herewith. In April, 1850,
two brothers, August and John Bengt-
son came to this country from Sweden.
About the first of last December
smother brother named Severn came
from Sweden and the three lthe entire

III the old country spent Christmas
together in Smethport John and
Severn soon left for Dagus Mines, ELK
Co., Pa, where they were employed
as miners. February Il, last, Severn
died there of typhoid fever aged -
years, his brother John caring for him
during his illness and in SO doing con-
.racted the descasc. August went
from Smethport to attend the funeral
of his brother Severn, also cared for
his brother John who died March 9th,
aged 10 years. After seeing the grave
close over his brother, knowing his last
relation in this country was dead, All-
gust returned to Smcthport. He was
not well when he arrived here and soon
after was confined to his bed with t he
same disease of which his brothers died
and after about three weeks uilcring
he died as above stated. The funeral
services were held at the residence of
Mr.. Anderson Saturday afternoon and
his remains were inferred in Rose Hill
cemetery. Judging from the tears shed
by the young friends who gathered
around his coffin he was highly es-
teemed by those who knew him.
Three brothers buried in three months
and not II relative to weep beside the
last. Sad indeed. "In the midst of

OBITUARY.
4 A SMALL.


Mr.. L. A. Small, prominent member Of
the Chicago bar, died at o'clock yester-
day morning at his residence, 1910 Indiana
Avenue. Mr.. Small had been suffering
from an affection OF the stomach for
some time, and went to Europe in the hope
OF finding allevistion in change of climate,
but the cares imposed upon him while
there in attending upon the death-bed OF q
son increased the maligancy of the disease
Of which he finally died. Mr.. Small was
born in Rumford, Oxford county, Maine,
Jan. 90, 1929. He was prepared for col
lege at Ssco, Me-, whittier the family had
moved, but owing to the lack of means a
collegiate course was abandoned. He was
married at Portland in 1852, and moved TO
Galena, H., and engaged in commercial
pursuits, which he was subsequently, forced
TO abandon on account of debt accumuls-
lions. He then determined to study law,
and entering into the Office Of the Hon. E.
w. Weigley, he discovered that he had at
last selected his vocation. He removed
to Chicago and soon ranked with the most
prominent attorneys, and enjoyed lucra-
tive practice.-Chieago Herald.

ENFORCING THE LAW IN PORTLAND.
Some time ago young man was kill
ed by the cars crossing the city of Port
land from the Grand Trunk to the East
ern depot, and several other accidents
have occurred by persons entering and
leaving the trains while in motion. II
seemed to be the custom to wait for these
passing trains, and take free ride
acros. the city. In order to avoid future
calamities, law was especially passed
prohibiting persons mounting these
trains. Last Tuesday we went to Bos-
ton, and as the Grand Trunk train was
about leaving for the Eastern depot two
immense policemen, clad in official gar
ments, rushed out Of the waiting room,
one carrying card on which was dis
played in large letters, words to the ef-
feet that the law against mounting trains
while crossing the city, would be strictly
enforced. This card he hung consplc-
ously out Of the window, and with his
companion entered the car. They seat
ed themselves at the windows, so as to
get good view, Of such temerarious
spirits as would dare to slight the warn
ing of that ominous sign. The train had
not proceeded far, when young man,
evidently a clerk, jumped on the car,
entered. and nodding pleasantly to the
two officers, seated himself between
them. A few blocks farther on, another
young man repeated the operation, and
avoided arrest by smile. When nearly
across the city, one Of these young men
arose, deliberately, went to the platform,
dismounted while the car was moving,
and entered warehouse on the river
front. We have watched the daily
Portland papers to learn Of the arrest Of
these two men, but have seen no record
of such action. Either they looked upon
the officers with the eyes Of Medus9. or
their lives were not considered worth
protecting. or that is away they have Of
enforcing the law in Portland.

An article appeared in the Argus Of
Saturday, copied from the Progressive

fast, stating that Judge BarrOws had ap-
pointed Mr.. Whitman, Clerk Of Courts

are that when an appointment IS made,
the people Of Oxford County will know
Of il as soon as those in Belfast. The
