people owing to the sudden death at the
church door of Deacon Lewis Is. Smith,
who for many. years has been staunch
pillar to the church.
At the evening service the religious ex
periences of camp life were given by the
surviving comrades.
The Hon. Lewis B. Smith died suddenly
on Sunday noon at the Congregational
Church just as he was leaving the Sab
bath school. Mr.. Smith was born in Bar
rington on Sept. IA, 1917. His education
was received at the local schools, supple
mented by a brief term at n select school
at Washington. Il. i. Foremost in every
matter of public interest. he entered pub
lie life at his majority, since which time
he has illed nearly every prominent s,, pub, Q,
the town. AT the age Of "a he was elected
TO the House of Representatives under
the old charter, and during the interven-
ing time has for many years represented
the town In both the House of Repre-
seDtatives and the Senate. In 1872 he
sist In framing the constitution of the
State aud in 1878 was appointed mem
ber of the State Board OF Charities, a
position he retained for eleven years. His
political associations have always been
with the Republican party.
AT the last election he was the unani-
nous nominee of his party for president
of the town council, but his falling health
would not admit of his entering again
into the excitement of political life. Dur
ing bis last years in the State Senate he
was the acknowledged leader, aud the
ability he exhibited, gave his town a
prominence entirely out of proportion to
its size.
For many years he was connected with
the Narragausett Brick Co., rs superin-
tendent, and later has been engaged in
matters of probate and general business
that has been committed to his care. :.
He united with the Congregational
Church in 1882, and has held the Office OF
deacon since 1857, has served as treasurer
of the United Congregational Society
since 1853, and has been constant at
tendant and conscientious worker in the
Sabbath school for over sixty years.
Mr.. Smith was man of sound judg-
ment, strong common sense and rugged
integrity Of character. In 1889 he mar
ried Anna ID. Martin daughter of the
late Sullivan Martin), who died in July,
1861. In November, 1862. he married Mrs.
Judith Z. Parker daughter OF the late
Judge James Bowen), who, with three
sons, children of the first wife, still sur
vive him. His cordial greeting and smile
and hearty hand-shake will ever be q
precious memory, aud in his death Bar
rington has lost her foremost and best
loved citizen.
The funeral will take place at his late
residence at Nayatt on Fryday afternoon
at 2 o'clock.

A curious case happened at the Ohio
Penitentiary few days ago. Dave Sc
vile, the prize fighter, whose sentence of
one year for killing Arthur Majesty in
prize fight at Nelsonville, was confirmed
by the Supreme Court had been out on
bond pending the decision. Hearing of
the decision against him, Seville went to

He was surprised by the statement from
the Warden that he had no authority to
receive him and could not do so; he must
go to Athens county and get a writ of
mittimus from the Sheriff of that county.
Seville left for Athens on the afternoon
train to secure the papers that will enable
him to enter upon a years Imprisonment.

g. CLEVELAND has written another
letter. In nearly every case where this
gentleman has written a letter he has
put his foot in it, but this time he
writes to say that "he can not regard a
candidacy for the place (the Office of
President) as something to be won by
personal strife and active self assertion" !"
He furthermore adds, that he would like
to have the Office again, but he leaves
everything with the people. In short,
he will run, but he don't want to stoop
to scramble for the place. In view of
the present status of affairs, this state
ment seems born of wisdom. He knows
that even with a scramble he can not be
nominated with Hill fighting him so
bitterly. When man leaves everything
with the dear people, it is safe to say
that the people will see that he stays at
home.
