THE BATH MURDER.
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury.
Statement of Officer G. A. Kingsley.

BATH, Sept. 5.-The fatal shooting of Police
man Lawrence is fruitful topic of converse
tion, but yields no new developments. The
man arrested yesterday in Brunswick is be-
lieved to be innocent, owing to a statement
that he was in Brunswick at the time Of the

Camp of the SabDatarians.

WATERvILLE, Sept. 4.
The Seventh Day Adventists are well known
in the west as humble and devoted people, and
their increase in this section OF the country has
beensqnite rapid during the past fifteen years.
For five years they have held their annual
campmeetng at Prospect Grove, lovely en-
campment near Watervile village. Last year
they "broke camp with the expectation OF
holding their next yearly meeting with the ex-
nearer Portland but the present season finds
them on the old campground pitching tents
and preparing for six days convention. The
people in this vicinity welcome them back, for
their orderly conduct, sincere piety and quiet
ways have won for them the respect of the
community. The denomination attracts public
attention because Of its popularity, which con-
sists in strict adherence TO the simplicity of
old-fashioned worship. Dry formality and
too much outward form and ceremony they re-
gard as modern innovations which sap spiritu-
ality and rob the worship Of God of its sweet
ness and power.
The shepherds of the flock are noted for
their great plainness of speech, not only
preaching against the fashionable follies OF the
world and the corruption found in "high
places" and among protested Christians, but
also constantly rebuking sin among the mem
bers of their own denomination and ever striv-
ing to bring the church to the ''unity OF the
faith and the purity Of apostolic times.
Among the ministers from abroad expected
to be present are the following; ED. George 1.
Butler, president OF the General Conference;
Ed Urish Smith, editor of the Sunday Her
aid; Ed. /. ID. Van Horn and Mrs. Ellen G..
White. The ministers object to having the
title Rev. prefixed to their names, as that word
is found but once in the Bible and then APP
piled to God.
Mrs. Ellen G. White is a lady who has much
influence in the denomination for they believe
that she has visions from the Lord. Your re-
reporter has been informed by an eye witness
that when Mrs. White is in vision the fuuc-
tions OF her lungs, muscles and bodily senses
are often entirely suspended for two or three
hours, her mind meanwhile being under su-
preme control of some unseen power. 1t is as
serted that the manifestations are entirely diff
ferent from those of Spiritnalism.
Half-fare has been granted on the Maine
Central railroad. Public services will com.
mence tomorrow evening.

A Noteworthv Familv Rann,on

The pleasant little village of Brunswick has
been the scene of delightful reunion in the
family of Deacon Flavel Bowker, formerly of
Phippsbuig. Five daughters representing five
different States, viz, Mrs. Captain s. G. Nor
rison of Brunswick, Mrs. DIR. Thomas Hender-
son of Denver, Col, Mrs. Walter L. Cliff of
Washington, D. c., Mrs. Charles d. Thyng of
New Hampton, N. H., Mrs. DR.. Stanwood OF
Newark, N. j., and the only son, Mr.. Edwin
Bowker of Brunswick, gathered around the
family hearthstoue and made the air merry
with their "reminiscences of childhood. The
dear old hymns were sung. and for a brief
space time seemed to have rolled back the
heavy burden of years. and brought again the
band of light-hearted children with no trace of
care of sorrow. The family record is an
honorable one. Mrs. Flavel Bowker, the
mother, is the daughter of the late Col. An
drew Reed of Phippsburg, who, during the
war of 1872, commanded the regiment sta
toned at Fort Popham to guard the mouth OF
the kennebec river. She is the granddaughter
of Brigadier General McCobb, who accom-
panied Benedict Arnold in his celebrated ex-
pedition against Quebec. Deacon Bowker's
father, Major Bowker, will be remembered as
the frst man TO draw up and sign temper
ance pledge. He reared a large family of
children, all of whom have strictly followed
III their fathers footsteps, and are honorable
men and woman. The children Of Deacon
Flavel Bowker, now so widely scattered, be ar
testimony to the value of their early Chris
tan teachings, and the value OF consistent
Christian example.

The Duty ON Iron Rods.
0ne of the most impC rtant questions await
ing the decision of Secretary Folger is what
rate of duty shall be assessed upon iron rods.
The collector of Boston has ruled in favor of
the higher rate of duty. The collector at New
York is in favor Of the lower rate, and both
sides have appealed. The wire rod manufac-
turers of course desire to have the higher rate
OF duty. Those who make wire rod goods
want the lower. Considerable money is in
volved.
Call for Letter garriers.
Postmasters from the larger cities are apply
ing for increased letter carrier force. The de-
partment will not be able to grant their re-
quests except to a limited degree, for the rea-
sou that some forty new letter offices have been
opened this summer, and to equip them very
considerable proportion of the appropriation is
necessary.
Sanitary Matters.
The marine hospital service is making prep
arations to continue the quarantine at Cape
Henry next year. A dispatch has been re-

s. s. Cox has arrived, but is not disposed 10
talk about the Speakership. He is making
very active canvass and is hopeful. Some of
his friends think that he is more ssBguine than

matter so far, of course, is wholly speculative.
Miscellaneous.
The President and party will leave Chicago
this evening and expect TO arrive here Friday

Report of the Investigating Committee.
BosToN, Sept. "a meetin Of the creditors
of Hersey, Whittier q Wyman, dealers in
hides and leather, was held in this city this
afternoon. The investigating committee re-
ported the results of its labors, from which IL
appears the firm succeeded to the business OF

ties be assumed by the new firm, end their as
sets taken at Appraisal. This appraisal was
not completed until March 14th. In the mean
lime in liquidating the debt of the old firm,
they had paid out considerable money and
were SO involved that they felt they could not
recede. The shrinkage In assets
in the actual settlement of the same
was about $4,000. The committee therefore
conclude that while the old firm of Hersey,
Washburn a. Co.was insolveDt, the pew firm OF
Hersey, Whittier & Wyman was in but little
better condition; for after absorbing 100000
contributed by Mr.. Mute as special partner,
they were still $4,000 worse off than when
they commenced. The March creditors chose
Mr.. G. @. Bills as assignee. An advisory COM
mittee to superintend the settlement OF the
firms affairs, and with full powers to petition
the firm into insolvency or to adjust claims,
was chosen. consisting of William B. Rice, Ed
ward Hutchinson and Charles Harring ton.
According to the committees report there will
be an apparent dividend OF 10 cents on the
dollar the assets being S348, 900 and the liabii-
ties 1896, ,0O0.
