located in Maidstone from 1926 to
1887 From there he went to North
umberland, N H., where he remained
until 1864 The next four years
were spent in Newport when he re-
moved to ST. Johnsbury, living at
first on Summer street and later
with his daughter Since 1880 he
has lived in Minneapolis. Besides
his daughter he leaves wife and one
son, Portus H Smith The latter
came to this place Wednesday with

RECENT DEATHS.
Pearl.

William Pearl was found dead in
his bed Saturday morning at his
sons home on Summer street. The
cause of his death was undoubtedly
heart disease. He had shown no
symptoms of heart disease, however,
but had been pretty vigorous up to
the time of his death, though he had
never fully recovered from a severe
attack of pneumonia some months
since. His son spent an hour or two
Friday evening in his room chatting
with him and was called up early
Saturday morning to attend him. A
few hours later he went into the
room and his father was dead, hav-
ing passed away evidently without
pain or struggle.
Mr.. Pearl was born in Peacham
Sept. II, 1911, and was therefore 70
years Old When about FIVE years
old he came to Sheffield On March
%, 1886, he married Mary Libby
and there were born to them three
children, w. L., Mary E. and B. F.
Pearl. Mrs. Pearl died on March
27, 1872; Mary died on January II,
1889, and Frank on Feb. IA, 1889.
Mr.. Pearl was one of the first set
tiers of Sheffield in which town he
spent all his life except the last few
years when he lived with his son, w.
L. Pearl of St. Johnsbury, who is
now the only one left of the family.
Mr.. Pearl was hard working peace
full man, highly esteemed by all who
knew him. His funeral was held at
the Free Baptist church in Sheffield
Monday.
In connection with Mr.. Pearls
sudden death it is certainly a coinci-
dence that Mrs. w. L. Pearls father,
Arial Albee, died on Oct. 1, 1884, at
the same home fully as suddenly.
Mr.. Albee was sitting at the dinner
table, his head fell over and he died
without a struggle.

McCurdy.

Thomas McCurdy died at the
home of his stepson, William McCrae,
in the Spaulding neighborhood, this
town, the Dist inst, at the ripe age
of SO, after a brief illness of less than
twenty-four hours, apparently from
a paralytic shock. Three years ago
Mr. and Mrs. McCurdy moved here
from Concord, where he had made it
his home since 1920, when his father
moved to Concord from Surrey, n
H., with a family of nine children,
four girls and five boys. They are
all dead now but one, John, who
lives at West Burke, and is 81 years
old The four brothers who died
within the past year averaged sc
years of age.
They were all alike imbued with
strong characteristics, among which
was strict honesty and integrity,
coupled with energy and industry.
1t may be of interest to add that
John McCurdy, Sr., father to above,
was born in Lemnahery, County of
Antrim, North of Ireland, setting sail
from home Nov. 1771, and landing
in New York harbor Jan. IS, 1772,
reaching Surrey, N. H., in spring of
that year, where he lived until he
moved to Concord in 1920.

A WOMAN'S REVENGE.
Exciting Scene in a Hobo
ken Pencil Factory
Penknife and
Pins.

A remarkable handsome and stylishly
attired yonng woman entered Recorder
McDonough's court this morning. She
appeared much agitated, and it was plain
ly evident that she was not familiar with
court proceedings.
The young woman said that her name
was Nellie Crosby and that she was fore
woman Ia the shops Of the American
Lead Pencil Works. She wanted to Sc
cure warrant for the arrest Of Maggie
Byer. formerly one Of the employees IN
der her charge Nellie accused Maggie
OF malicious mischief and assault and
battery.
The American Lead Pencil Works are
located at the corner of Fifth and Clinton
streets, and about two hundred girls are
employed there. From the story told by
Miss Crosby there must have been very
exciting time there Saturday morning.
Among the girls employed there Maggie
Byer was great fayorite. She is a petite
brunette, nicely formed and has flashing
black eyes and pearly teeth. She
always wore pleasant smile and
nothing seemed to worry her. Somehow
Maggie incurred the enmity of Miss
Crosby, so much so that on Friday night
Maggie was handed her envelope and in
formed that her services were no longer
required For a moment Miss Byer was

is Nellie Cros0y's doing and will get
even with her." And the girls that saw
the look that was in MaggIe's dark eyes
believed that she wonld carry out her
threat.
The next morning among the first ar
rivals at the factory was Miss Byer. She
was instantly surrounded by bevy of
her friends, who listened eagerly to all
that she said. They sympathized with
her. Suddenly Miss Crosby was noticed
coming along. aud all the girls exec pt
Miss Byer went into the shop. She
waited until everybody had gone inside,
then with a determined air she marched
boldly in. She told Miss Crosby that she
had forgotten something. She walked
over to the wardrobe, and taking a small,
keen penknife from her pocket she pro-
ceeded to take sweet revenge.
Miss Crosby's costly silk dress was
hanging from the rack. With three
slashes of the knife Maggie rent the
dress. There, she said. II guess Nellie
Crosby and are about even now"
But Maggie was not satisfied. As she
passed the bench at which Miss Crosby
was seated she seized a handful of Plus
and threw them in the forewomAn's face.
Instantly there was great commotion in
the factory. but Maggie left with
the air Of a tragedy queen. Before
going. however, she had told some of her
acQuaintances about cutting the dress,
and, of course, the story reached the ears
of the forewoman, and she found her rich
dress slashed and torn. Bitter tears rolled
down her cheeks. After thinking the
matter over for awhile she decided to
have Maggie arrested, and that was
the purpose of her visit to court this
morning.
The affair is the sole topic OF conversa-
ton in the pencil factory. Maggie has a
good many friends who admire her pluck
but they dare not express their opinion
for fear Of incurring the displeasure Of

"The Grand Jury complained of over

fact is that there was plenty of room. In
the jail there are l04 cells, which accom-

detention rooms, each of which is

not been put in the cells, and while wait

is being done now and by the end of the

in proper condition.
