There matters brought to the atten-
ton of the insolvency court in this city last week.
and nothing done with those before it. 1t was a
short and uninteresting term.
NJ. J. Dow of Brooks, G. W. c., will continue to
answer calls to speak for the amendment, from
lodges not far from home, and when convenient
routes for few days can be arranged.
Geo. f. Files, District Deputy, writes that Beth
| ell lodge of East Thorndike is to have public
meeting as soon AS arrangements can be success
| fully made with an address by NJ. J. Dow.
We gratfed to learn that DIR. A. j. Billings
OF Freedom is improving and is able to walk about
but he does not yet dare to trust himself in car
rlage We hope he may be able to speak for the
amendment before the campaign closes.

HOMICIDE ON STEAMER CAMBRIDGE. An af |
fair between two colored men occurred on steam |
er Cambridge lust before she left Bangor on Satur !
day, which resulted in the death of one of them |
The names of the men were Moses Ruddick and
Samuel Jones The latter was working under
charge of the former and there had been some |
difficulty between them. saturday forenoon Jones (
approached Ruadick in the forward cabin and de- |
manded cigar which he said the former owed |
him. Rnddick said he would give him q cigar /
but he did not want to be asked in that manner. A
few more words passed between the two men |
when Jones struck Ruddick and the latter pushed
him away. Jones then drew q razor and Ruitlick |
sprang behind table and grasped chair and told |
Jones to keep away or he would strike him. The |
latter, however, paid attention to this and cut
at him three times and Ruddick struck him in the |
forehead with the chair and he fell to the floor. |
Capt. Ingraham discharged Ruddick when the boat |
proceeded down river with the wounded man on |
board. Jones died before the boat reached Winter
port At the latter place telegram was sent to
! Bangor announcing the death, when Ruddick was
arrested at the Maine Central depot. The body of
Jones was put on shore at Rockland where it re-

/ day 1t returned to Bangor where an inquest
was held on Monday. DR., W. H. simmons made a
| post mortem examination of the body He found
that the blood was clotted on the brain directly
under the left temporal and occipital bones of the
skull, and the pressure of this upon the brain
caused the death. The blow given by the chair did
not crush the skull and had no effect upon it what
ever, but the jar impaired to the brain caused the
hemorrhage Ruddick is about 30 years of age
Ii es In Boston, and has been the boat year,
where he was well liked. He SAYS he killed the
man in seif-defence. Jones lived in Portland and
is said to have a wife on the Steamer Lewiston
