STATE PRISON FOR LIFE.
Farmer Frost's Assailants Found
Guilty and Sentenced.

AUGUSTA, Jan. 3.-In the Kennebec Su-
perior Court this forenoon. Charles Sawyer
and George Campbell, indicted for assault
with intent to kill on M. Q. Frost of Win
throp last Thursday, were found guilty and
sentenced to State prison for life.
The scene in the court room during the
trial was one long to be remembered by those
fortunate enough to obtain view of the sur
r1undings. The court room was never so
crowded, even the isles on each side of the
bar enclosure being filled with an eager
throng anxious to catch every utterance of
the witnesses. After the irons were removed
from their wrists by Deputy Sheriff Ames
and the Indictment read, the prisoners We're
allowed to take seats beside their counsel, A.
M. Goddard, ESQ.
Sawyer is a man perhaps 80, of medium
build. His complexion is rather light and
his upper lip is adorned with heavy brown
moustache. His eyebrows are bushy and
overhanging, which, with his high cheek
bones, give him decidedly unprepossessing
appearance. Campbell is somewhat younger
looking, with dark hair and a mOustache of
but few weeks growth. His size is similar
to that of Sawyer He has az times a care
less, reckless way of smiling, which is hard
ly In accord with the gravity of the situation
in which he is placed.
Sawyer however appears just the opposite.
He scarcely removed his eye from the county
attorney while that officer was making his
presentation of the case for the State. Once
his eyes turned for an instant to the array of
weapons taken from their persons, and
which were displayed upon the prosecuting
officers table. There were four murderous
looking revolvers with an ample assortment
of cartridges, razor, hatchet, pint bottle
of chloroform, together with a bag contain
ing files, wire and other things useful 20 a

bell.

BoULANcER TO THE ELECTORS.
He Says France Wants Something
Besides Ambition and Greed.

PARIS, Jan. 3-Gen. Boulanger, in an ad-
dress to the electors of the Department of
the Seine, says: "Those members of Parlia-
ment who did their utmost to make me in
eligible were beside themselves at the idea
of seeing me elected. My sword caused
them anxiety and they deprived me Of 1t,
but now they are more anxious than they
were when | wore a sword. Really Il Is not
me they fear, but universal suffrage, whose
repeated judgments testify to the disgust
which their incapacity, base intrigues and
fanciful discussions have inspired. To
avoid being compelled to accuse themselves,
they charge me with the most imp robable
and dictat0rial projects. When minister,
was overtnrown under the pretext that was
the persOnification Of war. Now / am OPP
posed as the personifcation of dictatorship
If could ever have entertained the idea Of
playing dictator, it would have been when
as minister Of war, had the whole army In
my hands. There has been nothing in my
conduct to justify such suspicion. accept
ed the sympatles of all without dreaming Of
stealing popularity from any. There Is
nothing dictat0rial in the programme that
demands constitutional revision by most
democratic system and by constituent as
sembly. Republican leaders had confidence In
my republicanism when they opened TO me
the doors Of the cabinet. 1 challenge Repub-
licans TO cite a single act or profession in
which have not plainly supported the Re-
public, but desire, as France desires, some
thing besides a combination Of ambitions
and greed. France thirsts for Justice, for
equality, for disinterestedness."

MET BY MR.. REED.
Fillbusters Find That Their Path
Will Not Be Smooth.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Mr. Reed, of Maine,
from the committee on rules reported re-
solution providing that during the remainder
of the present session of Congress there shall
be no call of the States and territories on the
first and third Mondays of each month, the
object being to prevent the opponents OF the
Union Pacific funding measure and Okla
homa bill from filibustering against an at
tempt to pass those measures under suspen-
sion of the rules.
Mr.. Reed demanded the previous question
which called forth vigorous protest
from Mr.. Anderson OF Kansas.
Mr.. Reed declined to accede TO request
for two hours debate on the ground that
he had been instructed by the committee to
demand the previous question.
A yea and nay vote on the previous ques-
tion showed no quorum, ia In affirmative
with the minority. A call Of the House was
ordered.
The roll-call showed the presence Of III
members, eight more than quorum, but the
margin was too narrow land proceedings IN
der the call were not suspended. Tie Ser
geant-at-Arms was despatched to hunt up
and arrest absentees and the House drowsf-
ly waited his report This not being forth
coming by 23o, Mr.. anderson of illinois
moved adjournment. The motion was de-
suspend further proceedings under the call.
This was also defeated, 53 TO 81, and Mr. Ran
dali then suggested to Mr.. Reed that, as the
resolution was privileged one, and could be
called up at any time, he Withdraw IL until
tomorrow, and allow the House to proceed
| today to the consideration Of the river and
harbor appropriation bill. This Mr.. Reed
| refused to do unless he. could receive assur-
ance that there would be no filibustering
| against the resolution tomorrow. The as
surance was not forthcoming, and the sug-
| gestion ended in nothing. At 8 80, the
| House, on motion of Mr.. Breckenridge Of
Kentucky adjourned.

the Age of 90.

BANGOR, Jan. 3.-Death this morning re-
moved the Oldest man in tbe county and
probably the oldest man In Maine, Lemuel
Nichols. Sr. His illness was so very short
that few of his friends knew of it.
About week ago Mr.. Nichols was taken
with very severe cold, which developed into
an attack of pneumonia This was the i'm
mediate cause of death. Had Mr.. Nichols
lived until April IL next he would have been
80 years of age. He was noted for his great
activity during later years. On the day Of
the November election he was out at the
polls, threw his vote for Cleveland, and in
the afternoon went to the Commercial office
and inquired anxiously for the election
news.
Mr.. Nichols was the father of Lemuel
Nichols, the well known mail route contrdc-
tor and proprietor of the Grand Central sta
bles In this city. He has lived with his son
far the past ten years and has received the
most tender care.
The deceased had been several times mar
ried His first wife was the mother of twelve
children, only two of whom are living. He
was borh In Durham, Me, and has lived in
various places throughout the State. For 80
years he was a citizen of Elmira, n. Y. In
the latter place he became member of the

porter of that denomination ever since. In

temperate and regular habits. He never

Not an Insane Man.

DOVER, N. H., Jan. 3.-Charies H. Tan
ner, the murderer of special police officer
Pray, was taken to the county jail this after
noon. He said he was surprised when PRAY
came to arrest him last Monday night, and
when they told him they proposed to tax g
him to Concord, he remembered the abuse he
received when there before. and attempted
to escape. He did not intend to shoot Pray,
but, in his excitement, the weapon was dis,
charged. Then, realizing he had killed PRAY
he jumped out of a window and ran away
being afraid of mob. Since his arrest he
has fully realized the enormity of his crime,
and has shown no signs of insanity

THE CLAIMS PAID.
No Fourteen Millions in the Treas
ury for Soldiers Mileage.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The second audi
tor of the Treasury has received large
number of letters inquiring in regard to the
statement of Private Dalzell OF Ohio, assert
ing that there was Sl4,000.0O0 in the treasury
TO be paid old soldiers and their heirs on
presentation of claims. Dalzell said those
entitled to the money were unaware Of the
fact. but each beneficiary had a claim
against the government for from $3.50 to $3.50
as follows: First, 8 cents per mile from the
place of Discharge home; second, 25 cents
daily for extra duty between October 8, 1862,
and April 1, 1868; third, 28 cents daily while
in prison or on furlough. The second auditor
saws the statements are misleading and un-
warranted. There is no law allowing mileage
to soldiers. The act of July IL, 1862, allows
80 cents In lieu of subsistence, and, If a cav
airy volunteer, 25 cents additional for forage
to each enlisted man for every twenty miles
of travel from the place Of enrolment to the
place of muster, and the same rate from the
place of discharge to the place of enrolment.
Nearly all the claims have long since been
paid. Congress provided compensation fol
certain extra duty to soldiers serving prior
to June 8, 1868, and for allowance Of rations
to imprisoned soldiers, but nearly all those
entitled to the money under these provisions
have been paid,
