MATHEWS BROS. FACTORY.

Next in Importance to the Shoe indus
try of Critchett, Sibley & Co. is the
door, sash and blind factory of the Math-
eNs Bros, situated at tile corner Of Cross
and Miller streets. 1t II one Of the Lead
ing factories Of its kind in New England,
and has won, and retains, the reputation
OF turning out the best work. Its pro-
ducts are sent to all parts of the world.
The past year has been one OF unusual
prosperity. Forty five men have been
employed, and about 100000 feet Of
lumber manufactured into doors, sash
and blinds. The workmen are skilltul
intelligent, and among our best citizens.
The business was established in lS45
by Mr.. Spencer W. Mathews, who after
wards took his brother Noah NJ Math-
eWS, into the concern. Both are now
deceased. The shop then was in the Old
foundry building on Front street. In
1860, another brother, Mr. Sanford H.
Mathews, went into the firm. In 1873, in
Belfasts second great fire, the foundry
building was destroyed, and the Mathews
Bros. business suspended. The firm then
began the erection Of their present fac
tory, and in seventy days it was ready
for business. AS originally built the
main factory was AZ by IS feet, four
stories high, Including the basement
Additions since that have greatly enlarg-
ed its capacity. A brick dry house, one
of the best of its kind in The country, has
been built within a few years. The fac
tory contains all the modern machinery
for manufacturing their specialties. Dur

Showers Of Blood.

Showers of blood from the sky are
rare in this day and age of the world,
q fact which makes their comparative
ly common occurrences in. the olden
times only that much more extraor-
dinary and unaccountable. In the
"Annals of Remarkable Happenings
in Rome" mention is made offourteen
different showers of blood and other
substances mixed between the year
$40 A. D. and ITO. Besides these
there were two "showers Of much IN
tensity, of which the liquid resembled
pure blood and was not intermixed
with other matter as heretofore re-
ported" In 1922 we find record of
a shower of blood and dust over the
larger part OF Italy. In 1926 snow
fell in Syria, (Which presently turned
into large pools of GORE"
A monk who wrote in 1851
tells of a three days shower
OF blood all over Southern Europe. In
the same year a loaf freshly taken
from the oven "did bleed like q new
wound" when sliced at the table. In
1348 the great chasms made by the
earthquake at Villach, Austria, asent
forth blood and a great pestilence fol-
lowed" Bergundy had q bloody
shower in 1861, and Dedfordshire,
England, witnessed the same phenom-
enon 145O. In 1856 hailstones fell in
Wurtemburg, which contained hollow
cavities filled with blood. The. last
bloody shower on record occurred p
Siam in 1801.-St. Louis Republic.

Lost in the Sound.

1t is rumored at Seattle, WASH, that
the steamer Buckeye went down In the
sound between Edmunds and Apple
Tree cove, with twenty passengers, on
the 10th inst. The rumor cannot be
confirmed, as there is no telephone
communication with Edmunds.
The story is that the Buckeye, which
is small steamer, went into Ed
munds loaded with cabbages and 9th
er market vegetables. The captain
invited a party to go with
him on q trip across the sound.
About twenty, the majority beinggen-
tlemen, accepted the invitation. The
boat had reached the middle Of the
sound about dusk, when astorm came
up. For an hour or more there was q
heavy gale.
A grader on the Great Northern near
Edmunds is reported as saying hesaw
light bobbing on the water for an
hour or 30 and then disappear. The
boat did not return to Enmunds and
near thar place the shore was covered
with cabbages and wreckage. This
story was brought by the steamer Ida
no, which touched at Edmunds. !.

Wanted to Hang.

Bill Crawford, who is to hang on the
18th inst, at Decatur, ILL.,, for the
murder of Mrs. Matthias, has distin-
guished himself again. A motion tor
a stay of execution was delayed b 8
cause the defense had no money to-
carry the case to the supreme court.
Saturday, however, they succeeded in
getting the necessary cash and made
preparations accordingly. Judge Vail
ordered Crawford brought into court
so that the motion could be formally
made. The Judge had told the defense
that the stay of execution would be-
granted. When the officers went after.
Crawford he declined to leave the Jail
and appear in court. His attorneys,
he said, we're making the move with
out his solicitation and contrary to-
his wishes. Crawford also declared he
would try to kill the first man who
came into his cell with the intent to-
take him to the court room. The at
torneys visited the condemned man.,
but all the arguments were in vain:
Crawford said that he was guilty and
that every one knew it. He was sem
fenced to be hanged and he did not
propose to interfere with the pros
gramme. An appeal to the supreme
court would only delay the execution,
and he wanted it to be over with. The
attorneys for the defense then appeal
ed to Judge Vail for an inqnisition as.
to Crawford's sanity, but the motion,
was overruled. 81. ~ sss5S5 81

Tennessee Floods.

The river at Nashville, Tenn, on the
10th inst. continued to rise slowly all
day. The night before at dark the
guage read 47.9 feet, 40 feet being the
danger line. River men predict that
without any more rain the river will
go two feet higher. 1t was clear and
cool. About 500 families have been
driven from their homes. At Il o'clock
in the afternoon the guage registered
48.3 feet. 1t is expected the river will
soon begin to recede, as reports have
been received from up-river points
the high waters are slowly falling.
A Chattanooga special Df the 10th
inst, says: The Tennessee river at
that point has reached the danger line
and is rising three inches per hour.
Experienced river men predict that 1T
will reach at least forty. .tvet teet, which
will overflow much of the city. The
rainfall here for thirty six hours is
three and one-fourth inches. and ex-
tends up the river and in East Ten
nessee generally. The sky is overcast
and the outlook for more showers is
very promising.
A Knoxville, Tenn, special says
very heavy rains prevailed throughout
that section and all the streams are
out of bank. A seven year.old girl
was drowned by falling in raging
creek. A colored man named Hunter
was drowned.
