FOUND DRAD.-About ten o'clock
last Monday night, while employees
of the Baker House, this place, were
attending to the horses in the stable
they found in one of the stalls lying
upon straw the remains of Isaac
Hiles. The man had been drinking
early in the evening, and, it is said,
had drank lot of alcohol and cider
mixed. 1t made him insanely drunk
and in this condition he was taken
by some of his friends to the = able
and placed i'll the stall, place where
he had frequently slept. When
found the remains were yet warm.
DR.. L. c. Thornton was brought at
once, but he pronounced all life
gone. The deceased was about 40
years of age, Coroner. DIR. G. G.
Croft held an inquest, and the ver-
dict was in accordance with the

hearted, clever man-his only fault
being occasional over indulgence in
drink. .-Le'cisburg Jonrnol.

LsphAm gave further particulars of the
Asry Frazier
After the bark was released by the P,rtu
gaese authorities al FayAl in response ID the
demand from our state department. she
sailed for the Island of Flores, where Capt
LaphAm desired to complete his complement
of men. At Flores Cap, LApham was in
formed by the authorities that he would no,
be permitted TO recruit men or either receive
letters unless the ship anchored. Word was
sent TO anchor the ship, though there was no
suitable anchorage in case of = change Of
wind. About 5 P. NJ, May 70, a wind
sprang up from an adverse quarter and the
shig dragged towards the shore. The cap
tain and first officer were on shore and the
second and third officers were on board.
The wind increased and there WAS no ap-
parent probability Of saving the ship from
going ashore and t~o boats were launched,
containing eight and twelve men.
An angry SEA Was setthk ulrtctiy N Tor
the shore. On reaching the surf the smaller
boat was capsized and the third mate, Cooper.
and three sailors were drowned. Four were
Portuguese and one a kanaka. The large
boat was stove but the men reached shore.
Both boats were entirely destroyed. Capt
Lapham offered $50 to any one who would
put b IN ON board the bark but was unable to
secure a passage. During the night the
wind changed. The Mary Frazier swung
away from shore, parted her cables and
went out TO sea. Capt Laphsm lost his
chronometer, sextant and all personal prop
erty including money left on board.
The loss of his papers prevents him from
knowing the names of the lost men. Three
belonged at Fsyal and one he thinks at pico.
The fifth was a native and belonged at Cape
Deverde Islands.
Captain Laphsm has been on TRIAL three
times in the Portuguese rominions. The
first on a charge of smuggling at Pico and
again on the same charge at Fayal He was
cleared each time. few days after the
drowning of the men at Flores, the court of
inquiry convened at Flores and through the
i los, ,ncracies of the Portuguese laws Capt
Lapham WAS not summoned. He was re-
fused admittance. The cour, was supposed
TO invest gate the case. The result was not
made public and presumably ii discharged
the captain as be heard nothing of the matter
afterwards.
