West Kennebunk.

Moses Mason, formerly of this place, died
last Sunday, Oct. 2S, lin Pawtucket, r. l., and
was brought to this place for burial last Tues
day. The funeral services were held in the
Methodist church and conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. s. f. Wetherbee. There was large
attendance of his old friends and neighbors
Immediately after the death of his wife
nearly year ago. Mr. Mason removed to the
home of his only remaining child, Mrs
Charles Burnham, in Pawtucket, where he
died. Mr.. Burnham and wife were present
at the funeral and returned home the next
day.
Mr.. Mason was SO years Of age and was a
staunch. old time Methodist, as was also his
wife. They sat under the preaching of IRE
formation John Adams" and for many years
were leading members Of the old "Saco Road
Methodist church and earnest workers.
When they came here they did not bring
their membership, but were always true to
the church OF their early choice and did
much to sustain it Living and dying they
retained the esteem and respect of all who
were intimately acquainted with them. Thus
one. OF the Oldest families of Kennebunk has
entirely disappeared from the place and the
property has passed into other hands.
Last Sunday evening the Methodist Sun
day school harvest concert was held in the
church, and, though the evening was wet and
stormy, the church was well filed with a
deeply interested audience. The singing,
wholly by the Sunday school, under the
training of Miss Kate Allen, was very fine
and was a surprise to every one. The read
ings, Rotations and dialogues were all rem
dered without failure and the offering of
First Fruits" by ten girls added much to the
tastefully decorated with autumn leaves and
flowers, and generous collection at the door
showed how well the audience appreciated
the service.
There is no prevailing sickness in this vi
cnity, though many are complaining of colds.
and there were several deaths in town last
week. Mr.. Mitchell, at the village, who lost
both hands in the army, Mrs. Horace Cole at
the Landing, and Mrs. Whitney, mother of
same time.

The Portland OFFICER Wasn't a De-
factive

Speaking Of the arrest of Barnes, the bur.
glar-who robbed Maynard's jewelry store in
Boston-by Inspector Watts in Rockland, the
Boston Journal says: Information leading
to the conclusion that one of the men was at
al certain house in Portland, Me-, was OBJ
tanned on Monday. Chief Inspector Eldridge
telegraphed to the city marshal to secure
him. He was instructed to have inquiries
made of a name given woman at the house
referred to. A visit was paid to the house
by an officer, but he failed to find the man.
A despatch was sent to Boston to that effect.
Further instructions led to a second search
at the house. when it was found that the
man had actually been there when the first
visit was made, but had left. When the
flight of the man from Portland was discov-
cred in Boston, Superintendent Small direct
ed the Chief Inspector to send one of his
own men after him. Inspector Watts was
sent at once. He knew the fe ow, and cap
tured him at Rockland Tuesday afternoon. -
