Soon after the beginning of the war

The medal is in the shape of q large

PARDON FOR TOM LIBBY
The Man Who Murdered Lydia Snow
Very Near Death.

AUGUSTA, December 30.-The council
today gave hearing on the petitions for
the pardon of Benjamin Chadbourne,
the Parkman murderer, who is serving
life sentence. Josiah Crosby, Esq, az
gued the case for him, claiming that he
is innocent of the crime, old and in fee
BILE health, and would soon die. County
Attorney Mcintosh and Hon. J. B. Peaks
opposed the pardon, and made the i'm
portant point that the case was not prop
erly before the council. as the law OF
1876, which abolished capital punishment
and under which Chadbourne was con-
victed, requires that when applications
for the pardon of criminals convicted OF
murder in the first degree were made,
the petitions should be addressed.to the
Supreme Court, which should, it new
evidence was discovered, apply to the
governor and council.
General G. P. Mattocks and a. f.
Moulton, ESQ.,, asked for the pardon OF
Thomas j. Libby of Scarboro, a convict
ed murderer, now in the insane hospital,
the ground being that lie could live but
short time.
This evening the council acted favora
bIy in the case of Libby and granted the
pardon. Petitioners for the pardon of
Colby Moore and Patrick Bell were Civ
en- leave to withdraw. The pardon cases
of Benjamin Chadbou, ne, Robert Hughes
and James Newcomb were referred to
the next conncil. The council confirmed
the entire list of nominations.

New YORK, Decembe 30.-The bring
ing of the abandoned schooner Neva into
port by three American sailors was re-
ported yesterday. FREQ Laurie, the
leader in the venture, tells the story OF
the trip as follows, which was mingled
as he said himself yesterday, with "quite
some considerable cussing, which had to
take the place of oil in calming the seas,
which it didn't do, not much. But it
made us feel more contented.'
''I am Fred Laurie, mate that was of
the American bark Chestina Redman,
and captain that is of the British
schooner Neva. We sailed from Rock
port, Me-, with load of granite. Struck
a gale on Sunday morning off South
Shoals that made the old bark jump.
While she was a blowing and snorting
long about evening, there comes

that on her rigging she is ahying the

But finally we got near aenough TO nail

man that they want to be taken Oil.
Couldn't imagine why, myself, for she
looked as able boat as l ever
see, only going a little
deep as though she had water abuard.
Well, they started to put their boat over,
and sea caught it and smashed it to
pieces So we put out our boat and took
them off, six men and the captain. |

feet of water in the hold, with two

Went aboard with two men, Tom Benson
and II. Pelican. The bark left us on
Monday morning; after we had tinkered
the pumps into shape, we pumped the
schooner out in six hours. Then we put
a foresail. forestaysail and storm trysall
on her. Then it blew and we took them
in. Then it lulled and we put fore
staysail, three jibs and the MAJ sail on
her. Then it came 10 blow again, and
we were tired of taking in the rigs, SO
we only doublereefed the mainsail and
