The Home of A. Ward.

The old Browne homestead, at Water
ford, Me-, the home of "Artemas Ward, y
has probably passed into the possession of
MIRA. William CASTOR, Jr. the wife of ex-
Governor Gaston's son. Mrs. CASTOR is a
relative of "Artemas Ward" through her
mother, Mrs. Louis Higginson of Boston.
Mrs. Higginson is the daughter of Mrs.
Helen Eastman, sister of the famous
humorist's mother. After the death OF
the latter, nine years ago, Mrs. Eastman
occupied the old homestead until her
own death, which occurred quite recent
ly. The will has not been probated yet,
but it is generally understood that the
homestead will go to Mrs. CASTOR. 1t is
fine old fashioned house, surrounded
by tall, ancient elms.

HARBoR NOTES.
The Labrador Waits Outside for the Storm

the Bark Angola-Oil Steamer MAYER
lex Also Arrives.

The steamer Labrador, of the Dolnin.
ion line, was due at this port about II
o'clock yesterday forenoon; but the Sc
verify of the storm was such that her
captain evidently thought it best to keep
off the coast until it should tighten up a
little.
The Bath ocean tug c.. w. Morse az
rived yesterday afternoon, having in tow
the bark Angola, which is to load with
pulp for Europe, and which the Morse
has brought from New York. The cap
tain of the Morse reported a very hard
time getting into the harbor The storm
was very thick outside, SO much so that
off the Cape shore they got within half a
mile of the whistling bouy without hear
ing it, and turned to go seaward, de-
spairing of picking up the coast. But
as they turned, someone on the Angola
heard the buoy, and coming back they
managed to work into the harbor.
The oil steamer Maverick also arrived
during the storm and anchored in the
lower harbor

The Yarmouth Shooting Affair.

The developmentssin what is now local
ly called "The Yarmouth Mystery"
although the house of Mr.. Prawda is
actually in the town of Cumberland,
were not many Saturday. The question
of the time when the shooting occurred,
may be of great Importance in the case,
and great interest is felt by the officers
who are working up the case in the
movements:of Mr.. Prawda after the.shoot-
ing, and up to the time when he finally
returned to his house, whereshe has since
remained. 1t is known.that he went t
the house of Mr.. Gerow, and got him to
go for DR.. Hanson, and that Mr.. Gerow
was accompanied to the village by his
son, that the young man returned to the
Prawdashouse with DIR. Hanson, while
his father notified Mr.. John j. Meyer
of what had happened, or rather what
Mr.. Prawda said he believed had hap
pened. 1t is also known that Mr.. Prawda
went from the house, after his return
from the house of Mr.. Gerow, and that
he was next seen at the house of Mr..
George Carter, the man who short
time after located the bullet in the
living room" of Mrs. Meyer. .
Now there will, perhaps, be much time
spent in ascertaining how long it was
after the shooting before Mr.. Prawda
went to the house of Mr.. Carter. In his
conversation with PRESS reporter, Mr.
Carter thought it must have been at least
half an hour after the shooting. Satur-
day, Mrs. McKimman, who was at Mr..
Carter's house when Mr.. Prawda rode up
on horseback, said that while Prawda and
Mr.. Carter were talking together, and
while Prawda was urging Carter to go
for the doctor, the express drove up, and
the driver said he had met Mr.. Gerow,
and DR.. Hanson, and that they were then
at Mr.. Prawda's house. That is, that at
the time he was talking with Prawda
and Carter, Mr.. Gerow and DR.. Hanson
must have got to the Prawda house. Mr..
Carter then hitched Prawda's horse into
his own wagon, and with Mr. Prawda
and John Il. Garter, drove to Prawda's
house, here George Carter found the
bullet and made The suggestion that led
W buO olSCOFCIy oAdu WdOOfOl AlCu
Mrs. Meyer, had good clear mark to
aim at, and that she was not shot by
mistake for some one else. 1t is evident
that it must have been considerable more
than half an hour after the shooting be-
fore Mr.. Carter was informed of what had
occurred.
The coming of the snow will perhaps
prevent the finding of the gun, if, as is
believed by Sheriff Bucknam, whoever
fired the gun threw it away, or hid it
after the shooting. Saturday, Sheriff
Buchanan went the entire length of a
brook that passes through the Prawda
farm, and back of the house where the
shooting took place. He did not find the
gun, but that was about the only place
he could search after the falling of the
fret spoyU

The third anniversary of Woodbine
Rebekah lodge, l.. O.O.F., was celebrated
in grand style Saturday evening. The
ladies prepared bountiful repast in the
banquet hail. which was prettily deco
rated with bunting; and at precisely
seven o'clock, Mr.. Samuel B. Kelsey,
master of ceremonies, called time" and
the tables, seating two hundred, were
quickly filled. Following the supper a
short meeting was held in the lodge
room, after which the members were
treated to a fine entertainment of vocal
and instrumental music, under the
direction of Mr.. Joseph Wish of the
Argus. Speech making was the next in
order, and some very appropriate remarks
were INDUCED in by Messrs. Kelsey,
Martin and Higgins. Mr.. Joshua Davis's
remarks were particularly interesting,
the subject being 1.-The Origin of the
Rebekah Degree" In his opening Mr..
Davis spoke of the valuable services and
the great interest that the late Vice
President Schuyler Colfax took in Odd
Fellowship, and the difficulty he expert
enced in convincing the Grand Lodge of
the United States that an organization
should be established whereby the ladies
should take prominent part. Then Mr..
Davis related the incident which brought
about the degree of Rebekah. 1t appears
that the vice presidents wife received a
note stating that one of her most dear
friends in South Carolina, was very sick
and could live but short time. Mrs.
Colfax hastily packed her trunk
and took the next coast train
south, which in those days
were noted for delays, and change of cars
in going from one point to another, be
sides the re-checking of baggage. Her
journey was uninterrupted until the
train came to place where the passen-
gers were obliged to change cars and re-
check their baggage. The train was on
the siding that would take Mrs. Colfax
to her destination where it had been
waiting for four hours; and the other
passengers were hurrying to get aboard.
Mrs. Colfax was alone, with no one to
look after her trunk, and became some
what alarmed for fear she might get left
The conductor and trainmer seemed too
busy to lend her assistance, and she
hardly knew what to do. when lucky
thought struck her, and she inquired if
there was an Odd Fellow on the train.
A gentleman went to her assistance, say
ing that he belonged to the order and
asked her what he could do. Her wants
were made known and the gentleman
kindly had the baggage checked and
assisted her to the cars. When Mrs.
| Colfax arrived home she related her ex-
perience and suggested to the vice presi-
| dent the formation of an order for
result of this was the adoption of the
! Rebekah degree.
