How Q0iclall other topics Of nation
FL, tate and local Importance dissolv-
"a 19to the Hanover tragedy. While
th1X newspapers were teeming with
New England's grand celebration at
Bennington, cloud rose from the
corn field near the now famous War
den homestead in Hanover which
spread with a rapidity surprising
everything in the history of journalism
in this generation. Presto! The great
Bennington, the great magistrate of
great country, the chief rulers of the
nation are eclipsed, even baseball
yields to the inevitable and all on ac-
count of the discovery OF a cowardly
assassin. What scoop for news
papers. The OPINIONS editor was on
the ground, saw and conversed with
the prisoner, the officers and the fami-
ly, and gave the readers of his paper |
an early and accurate account of the
affair. Next came the daily. papers
FRIDAY morning. A trip through the
north country that distributed the Fri
day morning Manchester Union en-
abled your correspondent to see how
greedily the hungry populace deyoured
the news. Heaps and stacks of papers |
were put off at every station, Wells
River, Woodsville, Bath, Li.bon, Lit.
Teton and so on clear through to Stew
artstOwn, hundreds and thousands of
copies literally anished and 25 cents,
80 cents and even one dollar were Of
fered for single copies in less than ten
minutes after a bundle was united,
Notwithstanding the news boys sold at
the usual price of three cents each F.
M. Shackford, the north country cor
respondent 10 the Manchester Union,
is so well known as a reliable news
paper writer, who writes facts minus
the sensational, and his thorough
knowledge of the case, having been q
companion of deputy sheriff Corning
all through the Canada trail, coupled
with the fact that the UriOn reaches
the north country several hours in adj
vance of all Boston papers, gave the
Union a clear field for rich harvest.
What strife among the various news
paper men to gain new and additional
facts. The cloud has lifted sufficient
to give thinking people time to reason
put for themselves the various phases
pf the case. Almy-Abbott is behind
he bars. Many of the readers of the
OPINION know this same human being,
and have known him from boy up.
He slipped through uncle Sol Berry's
fingers ten years ago. He afterwards
slipped out of our State prison. 1t is
hoped that his days of slipping are
ended until he shall slip suddenly
down through trap door securely
