Especial to the Press.1

BIDDEFoRD, February 22.-In August,
1889, Buxton Centre, in this county, was
excited over most mysterious and SEN
sational robbery. Daniel Cressey was
then one Of the most prominent citizens
of the place-a director in the West Bux-
ton Savings Bank and prominent in town
and county affairs. Besides being man
of wealth, he was accustomed to keep a
great deal of property with him in an old
fashioned safe in his house. Sometime
before August 7th, in 1889, Mr.. Cresseys s
house was entered, the safe opened, and
about $4,000 or $1,000 in bonds, gilt-edged
securities, were taken. When Mr.. Cres-
sey found that his safe had been rifled he
alarmed his household, but did not allow
the matter to become known in the
neighborhood for several days. When it
did come out there was much excite
ment; but no definite clues were OBJ
tanned. There was suspicion at the time
that some one familiar with MI. Cres-
sey's premises and his methods OF doing
business had committed the deed, and
the concensus of this suspicion pointed to
one particular person.
Last December Mr.. G.. d. Weeks of
Gorham was engaged to work upon the
matter for Mr.. Cressey's four sons and
widow. Although Mr.. Weeks business
is that of marble worker, to which he
also adds the work Of a surveyor, he has
proved himself quite adept as detec-
tive. He discovered by some means that
at the time of the robbery a stranger
came to Gorham on the Portland & Roch-
ester, and took team from thence to
Buxton. Working upon this clew he
managed to trace the robber with
enough deiniteness to find a portion of
the bonds, about $4,000, in New York, a
portion of them in the hands of jew
brokers. He has, besides this, proved
that the one upon whom suspicion rested
was guiltless.

MRS. FERNALD WILL RECOVER.
Particulars of the Tragedy Which Ended
in Her Husbands Suicide.

ELLSWORTH, Me-, February 22.-Addi-
tional particulars of the Fernald shooting
show that Fernald and his wife had
lived happily together for some time. A
day or two before the shooting, she went
with her child to neighbours to work.
Saturday evening Fernald' called with
candy for the child and invited Mrs. Fer
nald home. She, however, declined to
go. Sunday morning he called again and
found Mrs. Fernald alone. Loud words
passed and presently Fernald fired his
revolver, holding the muzzle close, to his
wife's head. The ball struck the
cheek bone, glanced and came out on the
other side of the face. The report called
Mr.. Morrison, the owner of the house, to
the scene. Fernald inquired: us she
dead?" mot yet, but she soon will be, u
was the reply. $50 shall IT, said Fer
nald, who went directly home, lay down
on lounge, placed the revolver to his
head, fired and died with his finger on
the trigger. Mrs. Fernald will recover.

When individuals learn to trust the peo-
pie and hate plutocratic rule, they leave
the Republican party as Chase, Greeley,
Trumbull and Charles Francis Adams
and his sons did. The Republican party
neither trusts the people nor obeys them
When six million people in New York
find the way at last to the rule OF the
majority, the Republicans ascribe IT to
the machine. When the great majority
of fifty millions of people make mani
fest their predominance in the popular
vote and the electoral college, the
Republican leaders invent a veritable
machine to get away the Presidency
from the people and reward with
Public Plumber and Public Trusts
by hundreds, high and low, every partic-
ipant, abettor and defender of that colos-
sal fraud. The Republican party now
requires another upheaval at the ballot
box like that of 1890 to be convinced
that the wicked work of the Billion Dol
lar Congress must be repealed and the
peoples will obeyed
In conclusion, he said: ''New York
will lead if othar Democrats will follow.
New York will follow where Democracy
leads.''
The speech was cheered loudly and
at its close the convention adjourned

Coasts of the Old World Strewn With
Wrecked Vessels.


LONDON, February 22.- Information
from Penzance shows that the steamer
lost off that port was the Violante Rot
terday, for Liverpool. The Norwegian
bark Vario and the British brig Esther

were landed safely. Steamer st. Pancre-
as, from New York, arrived at Liverpool
yesterday. She had on board the crew

1t had been supposed the PetreTs crew
were drowned. A despatch from Gibral-
tar states that vessel has been wrecked
at Cape Spartel. Seven of the crew
were drowned and four saved. The YES
sci was the Italian bark Nina.
Terrible weather prevailed in st.
Georges channel last night. The French
steamer Erignac foundered off the Scilly

similar statute was enacted in Massachu-

LONDON, Feb. 22-Father Macdonald,
the parish priest of Coleran, has taken
up the cudgels in behalf of Mrs. Mon
tague, who is charged with having caused
her child's death, and declares that she
is being prosecuted for having become
Roman Catholic. During the course OF
his sermon yesterday Father Macdonald
declared that the coroners jury which
investigated the case and returned ver-
dicr that Mrs. Montague had wilfully
slain her child, were all Protestants.
The newspapers he said in their reports
Of the matter and in their comments,
were trying to place the lady in bad
light and to damage her before the peo-
pie. Father Macdonald added that a
conspiracy existed against Mrs. Mon
tague because she is Catholic and a
regular attendant. He concluded by de-
claring that in Furnishing the child Mrs.
Montague had no idea that injuries
would result.

THE MEN HILL DOESN'T OWN
Democrats Who VIII Have Convention
of Their Own.


ALBANY, February 22.-During the
recess of the convention today, about $50
anti-winter convention men gathered at
Union Hall. Hon. S. G. Fairchild called
the meeting to order and submitted a
report announcing that the state COM
mittee had declined to dissolve the state
convention. d. Locke of Buffalo was
chosen chairman. Mr.. Locke arraigned
the machine, methods by which it
was sought to Illustrate the will of the
majority of the party for the sake OF an
ambitious politician. Hon. Chas. j..
Canda and Wallace Macfarlane We're
chosen secretaries. The roll showed 36
counties represented. E. L.. Anderson
said the Democratic masses of New York
did not believe Hill was the proper rep
resentative of tariff reform and honest
money and were opposed to his nomlna-
ton An address to the Democratic cleo
tors of the state was then adopted amid
cheers. The address asserts that the
controlling membership of the present
Democratic state committee was secured
at the state convention of 1891 by the adj
mission of numerous irregular contesting
delegates: says the issues involved in the
pending campaign are tariff reform
and honest money, and declares
that the state committee used
it's powers for the avowed purpose
of serving favored candidates personal
ambition instead of affording all Demo
cratic electors equal and fair opportuni-
ty to express their preferences as to the
issues and candidates. 1t has become
the instrument of a faction instead OF
representative of the whole party. The
call for the State convention was fla

the authority of the committee. The
perversion Of power has already been at
| tended by disastrous resnlts to the party

address concluded by calling a state con.

Frank M. Thorne of Erie county spoke.
He vigorously arraigned Hill and said
GAS inevitably as the needle points to
the pole, the great heart of the Democ-
racy turns to its great leader, Cleveland,

| Mr.. Clarke of Oswego demanded the
name of Cleveland should be placed
squarely at the front of the movement.
| Hon. William A. Poucher, although he
favored Cleveland, expressed the wish
! that this convention should not seek to
forebend the action of the state conven
ton called by the address.

Blaine sent letter of regret in which he
said: ssBut cannot refrain from sending
word of good cheer on the prospects
of the Republican party. On all leading
measures relating to industrial and finan-
cial interests, our people are strong and
growing in strength. On the contrary
our opponents are weak and growing
weaker. They are divided and we are
united. If we do not win it is our own
fault. We will be justly censurable II,
with such great measures involved, every
Republican does not feel that he is ap-
pealed to personally and that victory in
the election. depends on AIm.'
