The Lase Can't. Duttou.

The Montreal Gazette of Tuesday, just re-
ceived, speaks OF Capt. Dutton as follows:
"Capt. Dutton was Montrealer by birth.
son of Mr.. Joseph 7. Dutten, who was at first
schoolmaster in this city and subsequently
bookkeeper in the we'll known firm of Messrs
Byrson & Terrier, latterly Terrier & Co., one
of the leading partners in which was the ven-
cradle I. S. Brown. Capt. Dutton entered
the service of the Allan line at an early age.
and was, at the time of his death, the senior
captain and commodore of the Allan line
After seeing some service, he became master of
the steamship st. Andrew, nearly twenty-five
years ago. He leIt that vessel to take the cap
taincy of the Anglo saxon, and after short
service in that vessel was promoted to the Hi.
DerDlan, OF which he was captain for many
years. He subsequently acted in succession az
captain OF the steamships HISTORIAN and Prus-
sian, and when some eight years ago the Ssr-
dinian was launched he was given the COM
mand of this splendid vessel, which position
he filled with singular ability and success, up
TO the time of his death. The deceased gem
tleman was sufferer for a great many years
from BTight's disease, which at times caused
him much trouble. On Wednesday last, while
at the hotel he had very severe attack OF his
old trouble, and on Thursday was removed to
the General Hospital, where he grew rapidly
worse, and despite the best medical attend
ance he succumbed to the disease shortly after
IL O'Clock yesterday morning. The deceased
gentleman, who was in the fifty-seventh year
of his age, leaves a married sister and several
other relatives in this city to mourn his loss.
Capt. buttons death removes from the ranks
OF the Allan line captains one OF the most re-
spected and able members, gentleman who
IN his public capacity had few superiors and
who won the respect of all with whom he
came in contact. The flags on the Sandman
and the other line vessels in port, as well as
on the compaDy's offices we're at haf-mast yes
terday out of respect to the memory of the de-
ceased commodore.

Admiral ALDEN. uouumeu,

To the Editor Of the Press:
The PRESS of to-day contains a call from
"Adam Newbegin' for information as to the
cause of the delay in the erection OF the monu-
ment to Admiral Alden provided for in his
will
From some newspaper articles published
from time to time, there seems to have been
an effort to thwart the wishes and directions
of the Admiral, and to have his monument set
up in some other place than the one which he
chose for his burial. When he was last in
Portland he spent much time in the Eastern
Cemetery examining the humble monuments
of the distinguished men there inferred, the
graves OF his own parents, and the splendid
monument to Commodore Preble and his
family. When about TO leave town he ex-
pressed preference for that enclosure for his
own final resting place, and so directed in his
will. He set apart five thousand dollars of
his estate for monument over his grave near
those of his parents.
l am pleased to know that contract has
been made with the Hallowell Granite Com
pany to erect the present season a monument
OF Robbnstown red granite some thirty or
more feet high, with medallion head in
bronze, a likeness of the Admiral, and other
tablets and Inscriptions in the same metal.
Thsl monument will be magnificent orna-
ment.ln this ancient enclosure, part of which
sixty years ago was a parade ground, on which
the writer has often enjoyed games in which
James Alden took part.

ANNIE GILMAN,
The Result of the COrOner's Anquest-The
Woman Died from Natural Causes and
the Prisoners Ordered Discharged.

the Prisoners Ordered Discharged.
An inquest was held yesterday forenoon by
Coroner Gould, at the office of A. w. Coombs,
County Attorney, upon the body of Annie
Gilman. who, as our readers will Der,
was found on Sunday, June 30, in a room near
Staffords block, in an unconscious condition,
with marks about her person, which led to the
suspicion of foul play
The woman remained in that unconscious
condition until her death. which occurred on
Thursday, July Sd, at the Greeley Hospital
After her death post norton examination
was made by the city physician, assisted by
the physicians whose names have been pub
lished, and others, from which it appeared
certain that her death was the result of dis
ease OF the kidneys, and not of violence.
All the physicians Goncurred in the opinion
thai the unconscious condition of the woman
was due to maemic poisoning, resulting from
her disease, and that the black and blue spots
which were found about her head could be
accounted for upon theory other than vi
olence.
After hearing the testimony of the physi-
SLAMS, and such other witnesses as could be OBJ
tanned, the jury rendered the following YER
dict:
The jury find that said Annie Gilman came
to her death, at Portland, in said County of
Cumberland, on Thursday, the third day of
July, A. D. 1884; and that her death was
caused by Bright's disease of the kidneys.
And the jury further find that her death was
in no way caused, or superinduced, by any vi
olence committed upon her, but that her COLI
dition at the time when she was discovered in
an unconscious state, and in which she remain
ed until death, was due wholly to said disease,
and was not the result of violence or injury.
The jury consisted of the following we'll
known gentlemen: Benjamin Kingsbury,
foreman; Isaac D. Sawyer, Geo. W. Parker,
Andrew j. Rich, Geo. NJ. Nelson, and Carroll
W. Merrill.
In the afternoon the County Attorney gave
notice to Marshal Decelle that he could re-
lease Reynolds and Gage, who we're held on
suspicion.
