The Ellsworth American says The citi-
zens of Ellsworth will all unite in mourning
the death of Mr.. John H. Partridge who de-
parted this life May 20, and yet in another
sense, they will feel relief that after weeks
of suffering, death released him, and CROWN
ed him with the impossibiity of physical
pain. For weeks Mr.. Partridge lay between
lie and death, no one expecting that he
could survive longer than il day Or two, at
most. In the winter he had severe attack
of the grip, which was followed by the i'll
ness to which we have alluded-healt failure
and general debility. John II. Partridge,
who was the son of Enoch Partridge, was
born in GRAND, Maine, january y, 1919, and
moved to this city, with his parents, quite
early in life. He at one time engaged in
the livery stable business, in the boot and
shoe business, and also i'll the sale of coal
He had held various offices of public trust,
and among them the important position of
assessor of internal revenue, deputy collec-
tor of internal revenue, and later acting col
lector of internal revenue. He was also for
eight years deputy collector and inspector of
customs III the Ellsworth custom house.
During those eight years the writer of this
article associated with him and there
learned to know him and to love him. Mr..
Partridge was one of the most uncompronls-
lngly honest men we ever knew. His prn-
ciples and virtues We're as fixed and I'M
changing as the eternal hills. Nothing could
swerve him from what he believed to be
right We never saw man who better
liked to pay his debts. To cancel his in
debtedneSs was to him an actual luxury
We never saw a cleaner or purer man. He
could not tolerate the low or obscene To
unclean stories he would not listen, and
many a time when people attempted to tell
them in his presence, he had call in an
other direction. The deceased leaves a
widow, two sons, and another loved one, a
niece, an inmate of his home for years, who
was D him a daughter. His funeral was
held on Sunday, the Rev. G. I. Garfield
officiating.

TWO MURDERERS LyNCHED.
Hanged to Telegraph Pole and Their
Bodies Riddled With Bnllets.

PINE BLUFF, Arm, Feb. 14.-John Kelly,
the negro, who murdered j. I. McAdams
on the streets in this city last Tuesday
night, was captured at Rison, Ark, little
station on the cotton belt, 20 miles south
OF Pine Bluff about sunset this evening.
The capture was made by Town Marshal
J. j.. Harrison and the night operator. w.
A. Hughes. The news was telegraphcd to
Chief Of Police Nelson here, who replied
by urging them to bring the prisoner to
this city on the first train.
News of the capture spread rapidly
through the city, and also that Kelly
would reach here on n freight train, and a
crowd commenced to congregate. The
train reached the yards about 9.35 p. m,
and was met by mob of 500 people. AS
soon as the prisoner was identified there
was cry of ''to the court house ~ The
officers in charge of the prisoner made u
show of resistance and demanded that
they be allowed to lodge their man in Jail.
The crowd, however, increased to thou
sand or more, and soon had the murderer
in their possession. At the court house u
him were raised. The prisoner was
called upon to speak and say if he was
guilty. His explanation was incoherent
and not satisfactory. A rope was speedily
put over the Gre sspin of telegraph pole,
and John Kelly was soon hanging 40 feet
in the air, his body riddled with bullets.
The execution took place in the full glare
of several electric lights, and was Wit
messed by about 10000 people, many of
them being women who were hemmed in
by the crowd on their way from church.
The crowd, thinking the prisoners pro-
tests of innocence ruse to protect him
self, seemed satisfied with their work, and
US tie lifeless Kelly swung i'll the air there
were cries of Lynch Cutnbert Harris, his
accomplice !" A rush was made for the
Jail in the rear of the court house, and
men with axes commenced breaking in
one of the windows. They soon effected
an entrance and the guilty Harris was
quickly pointed out by the other prison
ers. lie pleaded to be heard, but his words
were not needed. Hand him hang
him." was the cry, and he was quickly
taken to the front Of the court house.
Another rope was secured and the body
was lerked into the air. simultaneously
there was fearful and oft-repeated fire
OF weapons and the man was corpse.
! Both men were hanged from the same
telegraph pole and their bodies are now
dangling in the air few feet apart.
After the mob had dispatched Harris il
started toward the jail again to get u negro
Wabbaseka, Ark, two weeks ago the
rumor having spread that he had been
captured and was in the Pine Bluff Jail
Major II. King White mounted the step:
of the court house and called upon the
crowd to listen to him. He assured them
that Mekemie's murderer had not been
captured. and called upon the people tC

MES. OSBORNE ~ coURE.
Held to Answer a Chare of Perjury--Her
Husband Stan DIS by Her in the Ordeal.


LONDON, Feb. 12.-Mrs. Osborne was
this morning arraigned in New street
police court to answer the charge of per-
jury made against her in connection
with the libel suit she brought against
her one-time friend, Mrs. Hargreaves,
who had charged her with the theft of q
quantity of jewelry.
The case has attracted the most wide
spread attention and the court room was
literally packed with friends of the
Osbornes and Hargreaveses.
Mrs. Osborne presented most pitiful
appearance. She was dressed entirely in
black and when she was placed in the
dock she wept bitterly lowing her head in
her hands, so her face could not be seen.
Captain Osborne stood beside her, out
/ side the dock, and held one of her
hands, and strived to infuse her with
courage to face the terrible ordeal for
her. II could readily be seen that the
sympathy Of nearly every one was with
the unfortunate prisoner and her more
unfortunate husband, who had done
everything in his power to alleviate the
suffcrings of the woman who has
brought such disgrace upon his name.
Mrs. Hargreaves was placed on the
stand and repeated the evidence as given
in the famous libel suit. Several other
witnesses testified and at the conclusion
Of the hearing Mrs. Osborne was held
for trial. There is also charge Of larceny
pending against her.

MARINE M ALTERS.

Three thousand dollars salvage was
awarded the tug Walker for services
rendered the schooner Maggie Cain,
which struck on Cross Lodge, Delaware
bay, while bound from Cardenas to
Philadelphia with cargo of sugar The
Atlantic Mutual was largely interested
in the cargo, and the home companies
had the risk on the hull.
The Shipping World of London says
the Inman liner City of Richmond,
which not so long since was the crack
Atlantic greyhound, has been sold by
her owners to a Teeside syndicate for
10000! Eighteen years ago this ship
cost f160,000. Truly there seems TO be
no room in the world for oldfashioned
ocean steamers. Ten years after this we
may hear of the Etruria or the Majestic
selling for the price of their old iron.
There is now in process of construc-
ton in Bath, Me-, what will be tho
largest sailing ship in the world. This
vessel, to be several hundred tons larger
than the La France, the present queen
of the seas, will be launched early in
next summer. The name will be Roa-
noke, the tonnage 1000, carrying ca
pacity $50, the cost $4,000. The
frame is wholly of oak. The length of
the keel is 800 feet, the length over all
about $50 feet, the breadth 40 feet, and
the depth 80 feet. Two smaller four
masied ships have preceded this mon
ster-the Shenandoah, cost 100000,
tonnage 5000; and the Susquehanna,
cost $4,000, tonnage 2,744. Both have
been built within the past two years.

Yn, Chinese charge d affaires ad interim
at Washington, has complained to the Sec
rotary of State of the treatment of Chinese
residents Of Butte, and the matter was
referred by Mr.. Blaine to Governor Toole
For some time a boycott has been in
force in Butte against Chinese and ali who
employ them, and the information upon
which the complaint is made comes from
the Chinese consul general at San Fran
cisco. 1t is that various citizens of Butte
have been obstructing their lawful bust
ness and outrageously treating the Chinese
subjects resident in that place. In Novem-
Der last various labor unions of Butte City
passed resolution prohibiting the people
in the said city against trading and dealing
with the Chinese subjects resident there,
and at the same time placed guards at the
front of the Chinese stores to arrest and
punish any native who should be found to
infringe the regulations.
A few days ago n burly rough in Butte
assaulted a celestial on one Of the main
streets, knocking him down and cruelty
beating him, knocking him through q
window, then dragging him out again
across the brokeH glass. Wednesday night
All Sam, q suburban laundryman, and
his crew, cameto Butte to participate in
the New Years festivities and left the

turned the establishment was total wreck
1t had been visited by gang of boys and
men, who bombatded it with stones so
effectuaily that the doors and furniture
were smashed and the clothes scattered
and ruined. During the proceedings a
large crowd of onlookers cheered the work
of destruction and announced that 1.-THE

him. The fight lasted 10 minutes. during

years Of experience afterward, and rose by
slow degrees to the rank of admiral in
1863, when he left the active service. In
1887 he was made admiral of the fleet. He
never saw a doctor willingly but once in
his life. For nearly 20 years--that is, since

hard in his youth, and at the last kept

victims OF the Hotel Fire Have Been
Rem0ved--An Inspectors Lie.
NEW York, Feb. 10.-Building In
spector William Seton confessed to-day
that he lied when he reported June 18th,
1886, that horoscopes had been built on
the Sixth avenue side of the Hotel
Royal, as had been ordered by the
building department.
Officers on that post and residents of
houses opposite the hotel on Sixth
avenue have said that there were no
escapes. These statements came to the
ears of the department chief and the
books were consulted. When the record
was found Inspector Seton was ques-
toned by Superintendent Brady, Com
missioner Purroy and others, and he
strongly maintained that the report was
correct AT to-day's meeting of,the COM
missioners Seton reiterated his state
ment in the face of all contradictions.
At the close of the meeting, however,
he confessed to Superintendent Brady
that the order had not been complied
with and that his report was false. The
hotel people, he said, desired modifica-
ton of the order, and he granted it,
though reporting it as having been car
ried out in detail. Seton was at once
summoned before the commissioners and
dismissed from service.
Not another body has been found in
the ruins of the Hotel Royal since the
finding of the seventeenth at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. One hundred men
have been digging constantly ever since
then, but there has been no trace of any
more victims,
Every inch of the ruins has been
searched and every particle of debris
turned over. 1t was said by the con-
tractor that no further discoveries need
be expected and that there were no
more bodies in the ruins. At 6 o'clock
the force Of workmen was laid off and
the search was discontinued. 1t was said
that these persons, ii any others, who
persisted in the fire, were burned to
ashes and that not trace was left of
them. The supposition is that there were
Others who were burned who will never
be known about.
