GAVE HIS LIBERTY.
Sllas NJ. Waite, Ex.President OF the
BrattlebOrO Bank, PardOned by the
President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80.
The president has pardened Silas NJ.
Waite, the former president of the First
National Bank Of Brattleboro. The greatest
efforts have been made to keep the fact a
secret that movement was in contemplation
TO pardon Waite, and the fact had hardly be-
come known long enough to attract attention
and to excite remonstrance in Vermont be.
fore the pardon was granted The first no.
tlce of the pardon that was received here was
the statement of the attorney general yester-
dav, over his own signature that Waite was
pardoned several days ago. Soon after the
flrst mention was made in these dispatches
that an application for pardon had been
made, letters were received here from Yer
mont protesting against the pardon. One of
the letters, recently received by Representa-
tive Grout, was Immediately forwarded to the
department of justice. The letter urged the
president not to grant the pardon; stated that
1t was the general impression that Waite had
not received as severe a sentence as his
crimes demanded; that his acts had caused
the death of five worthy citizens through pow
erty and anxiety, and that he ought not now
TO be pardoned and restored to citizenship
But the influence of his chief counsel (who
happens now to be United States minister to
England) was more potent than the remon-
STRANGE OF any citizen or congressman from
Vermont, and last night Mr. Grout received
this note from the attorney general:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, |
WASHINGTON, ID c., Jan. 90.
Mr.. Grout-The president several days
ago pardoned Mr.. Waite, think about the
time of this letter. Very truly yours,
A. II. GARLAND.
The Endorsement was made on the back
of the letter containing the protest against
the pardon which Mr. Grout had sent TO the
department of justice. The understanding z
here is that the application for the pardon
was signed by a very few persons, and that
the infuenceeof Minister Phelps was really
what secured the pardon. The petition for
the pardon is said to set forth that the SEN
tence of six years has nearly expired; that
Waite is in feeble health; that he has been
sufficiently punished; that there is no good
reason why he should for the remainder of
his days be branded with nfamy that it Is
an act of justifable clemency to restore him
to citizenship.

BROCkTON MYSTERY SOLVED.
The Arsenic Found Used When the
Body was Embaimed.

BRocKToN, Jan. 80.
A new developement has just been brought
to light in tee alleged poisoning of Zenas
Nickerson two months ago. 1t seems that a
professional man of this city called on the
man who embalmed Mr.. Nickerson's body
and inquired if he cid not use arsenic in his
preparation. The embalmer admitted that
be did, and stated further that he had injected
large quantities of arsenical fluid into the
body of MIR. Nickerson, especially in the
stomach and liver. When asked why he did
not make this fact known before, the EN-.
balmer stated that il was q professional
secret, and he thought people might be pref
udiced if they knew that arsenic was used
during the process of embalming. This will
probably put an end to any further investiga-
ton on the subject.

"One year ago | was apparently so far
gone with Consumption that my life
seemed only question of days rather than
months. With my faith in the ability of
physicians to help me all gone, tried al
most every known remedy, with no appar-

induced to try DR.. r. G. Flowers Lung

lief, and with the first bottle took a new
lease of life, and can honestly say to-day
that one spoonful If thi- remedy is worth
more to the sufferer from Lung troubles

A bottle of it is now one of my choicest

never fails to give"
