Burglary in fremont.

The Bangor Commercial says that last
week the store and postoffice at West Ire
mont were broken into as well as store at
Seal Cove in the same town. kept by Mrs.
Hannah Heath. Suspicion pointed to a
young man by the name of Frank G. ODER
who at the time the burglaries were commit
ted suddenly disappeared. Monday night
Mr.. Andrew Lopaus, the postmaster at West
fremont, went TO Bangor and search was
made for ODER without success. Tuesday
noon officer Dougherty went into a restau-
rant and saw man who he thought answered
to the description of Ober.
ODER, for ii proved to be he, was arrested
and taken TO the police station where he
confessed he had broken into the stores
In his possession was found Sl4.20 in mon
ey, two silk handkerchief. a watch, knives
and other articles. He saws that he took
other knives and gun. He says ne threw
the knives and gun away because they were
too heavy to carry.
Il appears that he took about 500 from
the store in Seal Cove. Ober is about twen-
weight years Of age, has a vacant express
sion but sharp eyes. When talking he
looks person square y the face. He
has served about four years in the Re-

Is one Of the queerest characters that

THE ARoosTooK MURDER.

Opening of the Case for the Prosecution.
HoULToN Sept. 26.-The trial of John Swan
back charged with the murder of John Hanson
in July last began here this morning. Attor-
ney General Cleaves and County Attorney
Allen appeared fo- the State and Powers and
Donworth for the prisoner. The jury was
emDannelled the respondent exercising his
right in seven peremptory challenges and the
State three.
The case was opened for the State and the
first government witness called was Mrs Han
son, wife OF the deceased. She testified that
on the morning of July 23d her husband heard
that Swanback had torn down the bars at the
foot of the road near Swanhack's s house. Ham
son took his gun, went down and began to put
up the bars. Swanback came out from his
house with q gun. A dispute arose when
Swanback raised his gun and shot Hanson.
Hanson then fred and wounded Swanback.
The witness was put to long cross examin-
alton, but her testimony was not materially
changed.
Amos Davenport testified to substantially
the same facts as Mrs. Hanson.
Several other witnesses were called, who
the life of Hanson.
At the coming in of the court in the after
noon several witnesses were called and testi-
fed relating to threats.
Counsel for the state closed their case, and
the respondent opened claiming that
Swanback acted in self-defence and shot Han
son to save his own life.
Swanback testified that he did not fire at
Hanson until he (Hanson) had raised his gun
to shoot him
William Akerly and Mrs. Swanback who
were present at the shooting testified that
Hanson raised his gun first.
Several physicians were called by the
respondent to show the nature of the wound
received by Swanback from Hanson's gun, and
several prominent citizens of Presque Isle
were called to testify as to the good character
of Swanback. Testimony vas also offered to
show that several of the government witnesses
had made different statements as to the order
in which the shooting took place.
This closed the testimony of respondent and
the State after submitting some rebutting
testimony announced its case closed.
Hon. Llewellyn Powers will make the
closing argument for the respondent to morrow
morning. and Attorney General Henry B.
Cleayes for the State. Much interest is mani
tested in the case and the court house has been
crowded to an uncomfortable degree.
Public sentiment differs as to the effect the
testimony may have under the law of self-de-
fense. The jury Is in charge of an officer and
are not allowed to converse with the public

Heavy Life Insurance.
The Large Policies that are Carried by
Some Rich Men.

Not very long ago, says the New York
Sun, the British life insurance companies
were called upon within the short space of
one year, to pay the enormous sum of &c.
250,000 on policies on the lives of three
heavily insured noblemen, viz, the Duke of
Newcastle, the Marquis of Anglesea and the
Earl of Fife; and shortly afterward the same
companies paid 81, ,250,OOO insurance on the
lives of two noblemen, making an aggregate
sum of s7,5O0,0O0 insurance paid on five
lives. About fifteen years ago the heirs of
Sir Robert Clifton received from the life in
surance companies of Sreat Britain 81, ,250,-
600. that being the amount of insurance
which he carried
King Umberto, of Italy, is making efforts
to obtain insurance on his own life for $780,
900. The Italian insurance companies re-
fused to take the risk, and application was
made to the English companies with no bet
ter success King Umberto has compare
lively impovished himself by paying his
fathers debts. Dom Pedro H. the Emperor
of Brazil, carries large life insurance in
foreign companies. Napoleon Ill had an
insurance of 100000 on his life, and this
was the chief reliance of the Empress
Eugenie after hisdeath. One English Earl
has his life insured for 81, ,O00, 900, partly in
American companies.
The largest life insurance written for any
American prince is that of George K. An
derson, "the oil prince,'' Titusville, Pa,
who is insured for $4,000. The late
James Park, Jr., of Pittsburg, had his life
insured for $350,000. Among Americans
insured for 100000 or more are Hamilton
Disston, of Philadelphia; John Howe, of St.
Louis; W. Fl. Langley, of Gallipolis, Ohio
and J. B. Stetson, of Philadelphia. Other
large insurers are Pierre Lorillard. of New
York, $4,000; f. w. Devoe, New York,
$3.50, 1000; Cyrus W. Field, New York, S240,-
900; Frank Jones, Portsmouth, N. H., $685.
ono; Amos Whitley, Springfield, o., $780,
900; B. F. Sturdivant, Boston, 5000, 700; +.
b. Roberts, New York, 100000.
The famous Colonel Dwight, whose heirs
claimed S263, 900 insurance on his life assert
ing that he died at Binghamton, N. Y, in
1875 sought to obtain even larger amount.
They got about $4,000 and have lawsuits
pending for the remainder. The late James
Monroe Tuthill, who committed suicide In
the Office of James Pyle, had an insurance
of $4,000 in the United States Life Company,
which the company did not contest. The
policy with reference to insured suicides is
to contest only those cases where the suicide
was for the purpose of securing the insur-
ance for the beneficiary
