The diary of Bishop Harrington, who was
put to death by order Of King Mwanga Of
Uganda, Africa has been published giving
the details of the last week of his life. He
describes the arrival of his party at Lubwas
where the chiefat the head of a thousand
troops demanded hundred guns and 80 bar
rels of powder. The chief asked Bishop
and the latter complied. While taking a
walk the Bishop was attacked by about 20
natives. He struggled with his assailants
but became weak and faint and was dragged
violently long distance by the legs. When
his prosecutors halted they stripped and
robbed him and imprisoned him In a noisome
hut full of yermin and decaying bananas.
While he was lying there i'll and helpless
the chief and his hundred wives came out OF
curiosity to feast theirleyes on him. The next
day he was allowed to return to his own
Portable. He was still guarded,
however, by natives. He re-
manned in bed during the following day
parties of the chiefs wives out of idle curios-
ity coming daily to see him. He was allowed
to send messages to friends, but he believed
they were intercepted. On the seventh day
he writes that the fever continued; that at
night the place swarmed with vermin; that
the guards were drunk and noisy and
came delerious. On the eighth day of October
he was conscious. His entries on this day
are brief-'No news" "a hyena howled all

Donated $500 by an Insurance Conn
pdnv.

LEWISTON, Oct. 2S.-A Lewiston Journal
special from Bangor says: Alexander S.
King, who died in Bangor last March, had a
policy in the Maine Benefit Association for
$4,000 in favor of Bangor doctor. The
company resisted payment, supposing King
might have beon poisoned. Further investi-
CATION led to the discovery of his wife in
Lawrence, Mass. She testified that he was
older than represented in the application,
making the policy void. The association
donated the widow $500.
Alexander S. King was an eccentric old
Scotchman, who died on couch of rags in a
forlorn den over the Bangor doctors office
on the 18th day of last March. He was sup
posed to have no relations and only those
friends whom charity had made for him in
his poverty and illness. Much surprise was
manifested when it was announced that
Kings life was insured as above stated
When the doctor asked the association for
the $4,000, its officers resisted payment on
the ground the doctor had no legal interest
in Kings policy. The doctor employed
counsel and brought an action against the
association. The first excitement was
caused when it was charged that King had
been poisoned. Kings dead body was ex-
humed and dissected, and his stomach and
other organs examined by the most prom
inent chemist in the State. 1t is the opinion
of those who examined Kings remains that
he died of Brights disease

made an investigation into his wife

She admitted her guilt and made
full confession. She said she had.
slept two nights in the same bed

to her, she said, had commenced directly
after her marriage. He protested to
admire her because of her resent lance

Petitioners case rested solely on his
wife's confession. The servants OF
Crawford's household, counsel said

mistress had been absent from home on
the nights she stated she had slept with
Dixie. Petitioner Crawford was called
to the witness stand and gave testimony
supporting the statements of mis- coun-
sci. Crawford said be had been
startled by his wife asking him
whether he would forgive her if she
had been unfaIthful to him. His wife's
sister had been shown the anonymous
letters, and had agreed that they were
in the handwriting of their mother. In
