Peter Mcclure Found Dead In warren
After Offices.
This morning word was telegraphed to
the police of this place stating that Peter
Mcclure was found dead on Main street,
Warren, this morning.
He had s13S in his pockets, a gold
watch and chain, and had on a new suit
of clothes.
He had two scalp wounds. Medical Ex-
aminer Mason deemed an inquest neces-
sary.
He formerly lived on Charles street in
this village and left about two months
ago.
His wife, who was living on the View,
went to Warren to take charge of the re-
mains.
lie was quite well to do, having consid-
erable property in Warren.
who VIII BE solicitor?
There is now great deal OF speculation
over who will be the Town Solicitor for
the ensuing year. Many feel sore that the
man from Warren, who helped the Town
Council in and out OF so many legel diff
culties, will take back seat. 1t did not
set very well on the minds Of the Repub-
licans, who consider themselves capable
OF performing the duties of the position,
to see man from out of town, drawing
the fat salary of $1,000 for showing up
once month. The salary was increased
last year and that is why more are hanker-
ing after the position now. Ii would
seem as though the Republicans did not
place much confidence in the legal abilities
of the resident lawyers, and were con-
sequently obliged to seek an official else
where. Following out the usual play of
Republican economy the pay of the high
way laborers was reduced and the salary
of.the Solicitor was increased from $500 to
$1,000, and other men given round sums
for their Services" Last year John Il.
Goldsworthy was a candidate for the posi-
tion, but on account of reasons best
known to themselves, the Council did not
appoint him. Mr.. Goldsworthy has prac
ticed law a long time, is perfectly capable
and being a resident naturally should be
given the Office. He is now Probate Judge,
and it is said that Samuel Fessenden is
now training his feet to fit in the shoes
now occupied by Mr. Goldsworthy. 1t
is an interesting study to watch the
maneuvres and determine which will
win. Lawyer Choquette was candidate
for District Judge, but failed to get there
because his Republican friends went back
on him. Now he wants to be either
Solicitor or Probate Judge, but they are
trying TO put him of with excuses as be-
fore. lie is more qualified for the latter
position than Mr.. Fessenden, being an
experienced attorney.
