THE HARPsWELL SUICIDE.
Melancholy Story of Family That Lived
on a Lonely Island.

Coroner Perry went to Pine Island,
Harpswell, yesterday to investigate the
suicide of Daniel H. Wilson. Pine Island
lies north of Yarmouth Island and south
of Powers Point. 1t is a small island
and the Wilson family were the only in
habitants. Of the four grown up child
reh, three, son aged about 20 years, a
married daughter, Mrs. F. Darling, and a
girl aged about IA were at home Thurs
day when the suicide occurred. Viii
sons wife left him August 18th on
account of cruel and abusive treatment.
The children said yesterday that they
had been forced to interfere to prevent
their father choking their neither to
death. The wife went to Brunswick and
is there now.
The suicide occurred Thursday about
II a. m. During the forenoon Mrs. Darl-
ing had been talking with her father
about her mother, and had told him that
if he would read her mothers Bible he
would be better man. Then with the
Otnef cnllur6n she lcIU Uho mousse W ~ W
another island. AS they We're disem-
barking they heard the report of gun
at the house. They suspected what had
happened, as their father had frequently
threatened that he would kill both their
mother and himself. They did not re-
turn to the house, but went to another
for help. They got Messrs. Darling,
Wilson and Wis1nond, who went to the
house and found Wilson lying dead. He
had taken shot gun, held it to his
breast over the heart and fired it. The
charge produced speedy death.
Coroner Perry deemed an inquest un-
necessary, as it was evidently a case OF
suicide.

ANANIAs is DEAD
So This Man Need Fear No Rival On
Earth.


A man about forty years Of age who
has light moustache and wears light
suit and SLOUGH hat is wanted by the po-
lice of Lewiston as well as the authori-
ties upon some Of the islands down the
bay. He has been swindling some of the
cottagers by various misrepresentation,
his favorite one being that he is Mason
ane is collecting money to buy coffin
also to pay the funeral expenses of the
future occupant of the aforesaid coffin.
He is smooth talker and it is apparent
that the only difference between him and
Ananias is that Ananias is dead.
He victimized several residents at
Harpswell and then turned up in Aub-
urn. He accosted Mr.. Charles Libby, a
baker, and informed him that he was a
Mason. that he lived in Portland and
wanted to get here and he emphasized
his request quite forcibly. He said he
had asked man to direct him to Ma
son and Mr.. Libby s name was suggested.
Mr.. Libby declined to aid him believing
him to be fraud.
He afterwards accosted City Marshal
Maxwell and told the officer that his
name was Donahue and that he was from
Portland.
There is no one named Donahue in this
city who answers the above description.

ON AUGUST 9TH, S. B. c.,
Caesar invaded the Island of
Britain.
He found himself confronted
by a bold coast, covered by
enemies who could throw their
javelins from the rising ground
to the shore, and he had much
more difficulty in making good
his first footing than he anti
cipated. He is supposed to have
disembarked at Deal.

RESULTS OF THE STORM.
Steamer Alice Goes Ashore on Diamond
Island.


The southeast storm of Thursday night
while very heavy, did not do any very Sc
rious damage in this vicinity.
The steamer Alice, which stays over
night at Falmouth Foreside, broke away
from her moorings during the storm and
proceeded to Little Diamond Island. She
struck bow On on the rocks at the upper
end of the island and swung around,
where the tide left her laying on her side.
The fire was drawn and the boiler saved
by Mr.. John III. Danielson from Great
Diamond, who also kept the whistle open
for half hour or more, and aroused the
islanders. Oil barrels were fastened I'M
der her port side and she foated at the
the next high tide, with the assistance of
the air.
The Oracle fouled the Clarence in the
harbor and both went ashore, but suffer
ed no damage of consequence.
There were 2.46 inches of rain fell up
to last evening.
A Gale Outside.
Incoming vessels report a heavy gale
outside and quite a number of vessels
