The death Of Rev. j. S. Swift has already
been announced. The Maine cores
pondent Of the Boston Journal gives
some interesting facts concerning his ca
reer. THE history OF Mr.. Swifts life,p says
the correspondent sis largely the history Of
journalism in franklin county, az he started
the second paper ever Published within its
limits, and with the exception OF brief periods,
remained connected with the press till the day
Of his death Mr.. Swifl's youth was spent on
Sebascodiggin Island-the largest in Casco
Bay-and it was while living there in retire
ment that he acquired an absorbing literary
appetite which by the logic OF events led him
to enter the journalistic field. To crafty his
literary tastes Mr.. Swift introduced himself to
the printing offices of Bath and Brunswick,
where he obtained the reading Of whatever
Exchanges tnose ohices had, and finally to
crafty his growing ambition he purchased
small font Of worn o1t BREWER type which had
been thrown into pi in the office OF the Bath
(Maine) Inqairer. This he sorted out and ar
ranged in a case OF his own construction,
made wooden chase and procured some tin
rules, and after engraving a heading on a
block OF wood, he introduced TO the public
tAS weekly paper called the darpSWell Ban
ner, which he printed on a cheese press
Through this publication, which was con-
tined for about six months, the boy printer ex-
cited the curiosity an1 comments Of the period
ical press, and so far initiated himself into the
mysteries Of the topographic art that he was
shortly after employed assistant on the Bath
INQUIRER, where he remained until he became
of age, and then succeeded to the proprietor
ship Of the paper. Two years later 1885 he
severed his connection with the Inquirer on
account OF failing health, and moved to Frank
lin county, where in 1910 he again entered the
field by starting the Franklin Register At
the close of the fourth volume the Register
was suspended, aud in its place tbs Chronicle
was started as an independent paper. In
iS47 Mr.. Swift severed his connection with
the press Of Franklin county, and for several
years worked in the printing offices of Port
land, Balh aud Boston. In 1854 he again be-
came publisher of the Chronicle, which he
subseqently relinquished and started the Coun-
ty Record, as an independent, literary and
semi-religious paper, which after a brief ex-
istence was consolidated with the Chronicle.
In 1867, Mr.. Swift having assumed the re-
sponsibilities Of the gospel ministry, retired
from all connection with the press, but re-en-
tered the field sgain by starting the Wilton
Record, with which he was connected at the
time of his death.

fast train, bringing the remains OF the late
kostmaster General Howe, arrived at 5 this

hour, II was met by a committee Of members
OF the bar and prominent residents, and es-
corted to the family mansion. From to II
o'clock, while the body lay in state, il was
visited by nearly every inhabitant OF Green
Bay, young and old, men and women, and
many Of the affecting scenes witnessed yester-
day at kenosha were re enacted. At 1890
the bells Of the city tolled 81 strokes, the age
of the deceased, which was the signal for
general closing OF the places of business A
few moments later the funeral procession,
comprising relatives, citizens, local organiza-
tions and visiting delegations, moved toward
the Presbyterian church. Every building on
the route was draped, and showed flags at
half-mast. The pail bearers who acted in the
same capacity for the deceaseds wife two
years ago, we're: A. Kimball, Il. A. Elliss, J.
q. Neville, A. q. Robinson, NJ. l.. Martin, d.
u. Butler, l.. Bennett and n. Goodell Gov.
Rusk, Senator Sawyer and the legislative
committee OF fifty officially represented the
State. AT the church the funeral services
were brief and simple. The remains lay in
state In the chanoel TO afford an opportunity 10
friends from the country districts to pay last
tribute Of respect TO the deceased until 8
o'clock, when the casket was sealed, and, ac-
oompanied by the various delegations, was
taxed TO Woodlawn cemetery.

EAToN's ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Five Shots Fired in Quick Sue
cession.
Arrested at Truro by Halifax De-
teetiye.

HALIFAX, March 27.--A later telegram from
Truro concerning the attempted suicide OF III
w. Eaton of Calais, Me-, says he was lying in
his berth about o'clock when the other pas
sengers, Including several ladies, were startled
by five reports from a revolver In few mo-
ments the whole train was alarmed. The con-
ductors rushed into the Pullman and seized
the mans hand just as he was about to dis
charge the sixth shot at his head. The man
who was partly under the influence of liquor
at the time, had boarded the train at some
place north of Moncton. kilograms were for
warded TO Truro and on reaching there he
was examined by doctor and removed to a
hotel, A detective of Halifax arrived on a
late train and arrested the man. The prisoner
is too seriously injured to be removed at pres
ent from the hotel. A man travelling with
Eaton, supposed to be his brother, made some
resistance to the detectives entering the room
but finally submitted and allowed him to en-
ter.
Two brothers OF Eaton are on their way 10
Truro and an officer leaves Calais tomorrow
morning to take the prisoner back. Eaton
seemed willing to return home and it is not

THE JEANNETTE.
A Maine Mans Experience in Siberia.

Herbert W, Leach, of North Penobscot, ia
one of the survivors Of the Jeanette expedi-
tion who arrived in New York from Siberia
this week. To reporter he said that on board
the Jeanette the men all had good time,
even when wedged in by the ice They had
liquor In moderation and tobacco in abund-
ance. "It almost broke my heart" he said
ito have to leave SO much good tobacco behind
in the Jeanette when we had to abandon her.
We were allowed to take with US only pound
man. We made that last as long as possible,
and then VIC took tea leaves, from which tea
had been made, dried them and smoksd them
II was a poor substitute for tobacco, but by
long odds better than nothing. When we got
among the natives OF Siberia we occasionally
obtained some native tobacco. We got ii in leaf
form. 1t had never been cured and was strong
enough to knock horse down, but you bet we
enjoyed IT,"
How did yon manage to keep your splrits
up all the time?" asked the reporter.
We thought Of home. We never gave up
hope. There was not a man in the whole
Jeannette expedition who ever thought his last
day had come, even when things looked the
worst"
Mr.. Leach spoke very highly of the hospi-
tality shown them 10 Siberia by the natives
and tho Russiane. ~ never met such a hosnit-
able people," he said "Whether civilized or
savage it was just the same They made us
welcome TO the best they had though when be
fist got among the natives thai was nothing
better than rotten geese-gaese that had been
killed three or four months previous and kept
Ia frozen condition for future consumption.
On, they we're uot SO bad when you can't get
anything else Bot the natives ought to start
tin-canning establishment" Mr. Leach had
both feet frost-bitten in the boats. One Of the
crew cat off half Of one toe with jack-knife.
Dut could not amputate the bone. That lob
was reserved for a Russian doctor In Siberia
who completed the operation with an instru-
which, Mr.. Leach said, s'looked very much
like huge pair of sheep-shears. and when,
after much squeezing, the bone snapped L
thought my leg had gone. But my feet don't
trouble me much now"
ask him about Helen" said Frank Mason,
one OF his comrades. Awaiting himself of the
suggestion, the reporter asked Mr. Leach about
Helen
Helen, said Mr. Leach, twas the daughter
Of priest at Yakutsk, and there is no DENYING
/ was awfully In love with her. So were some
OF the other boys, but cut them ont. had
learned just enough of Russian to be able 10
make love TO her. She said that she'd marry
Every thing looked lovely, although the father
objected somewhat and Russian was prowl-
ing about after her. But, as bad luck would
have it,Just as had began to think myself the
happiest man living | had TO 90 north 10 Join a
searching party, and while / was away the
Russian, backed by the father, settled my case
by marrying the girl"

CHICAGO, March 29.--The Supreme Court at
Springfield has fled an opinion In the case OF
Lester and others against the Chicago Board Of
Trade in favor OF the latter. The suits, twenty
in number grew out of what was known as
the July wheat corner. The market prices
for July wheat at the close OF that month hav-
ing reached 1.36 large number OF operators
refused to settle at that figure aud the amount
of this held back was estimated between ST.
100000 to S., 100000. Tho matter was taken
before the arbitration committee Of the board
and = hearing extended nearly a month, the
losing operators urging that the market had
been cornered by clique and citing as an in
stance TIE price Of cash wheat. The case
gained additional interest from the fact tbta
IL WAS deemed test one. The arbitration
committee fixed the selling price at 1856, at
which figure the operators were ordered TO
make good their differences. In anticipation
of the report Of the committee the matter was
carried into court and The board OF trade was
enjoiued from attempting 10 discipline mem
bers for failure TO pay differences and TO re-
strain any action tending to deprive them Of
board membership. To this the board Of
trade urged no defence, citing the board rules
as sufficient under which to discipline borrd
m9mbers. The lower court decided the mem
bers ameDable TO the rules Of tho board and
that the court could afford them no relief
from obligations voluntarily taken in joining
the board. The Supreme Court sustains this
