FISHER AYERS MURDER
At the Preliminary Examination
Colburn Says Not Guilty.
ALL HAVE BAD regulations.
Ayers Died from bruises IA the Head
and AIcoholism-Tho Revolving story
of the Life and Habits Of the squatter
Family

DEDHAM, Jan. 2i.-The story OF the
finding OF the dead and mutilated body OF
Fisher Ayers Sunday morning in a hut
occupied by George Colburn, at the foot
OF Warren street, Needham, has already
been told in these columns. Colburn had
informed Bert Wight, who visited the
house that morning, and Colburn's arrest
followed.
Medical Examiner Hodgden found that
Ayers came To his death by bruises on the
head and alcoholism. At the preliminary
hearing yesterday before Judge Grover
Colburn pleaded not guilty.
All the parties are we'll known here.
Some years ago George Colburn, it is told,
visited this town on a spree and while in
an intoxicated condition entered the
house OF DR.. George A. Southgate and
went TO sleep on a sofa. When discovered
he had TO be removed by a police officer.
He is credited with being possessed of an
ungovernable temper and confirmed hab-
its of ~intoxication,
The dead man, Fisher Ayers, formerly
lived at Foxville in the town OF Dover,
and was known as a hard drinker, but
otherwise was considered a harmless sort
of a fellow. There was a strain of Indian
blood in his veins and he was the eldest
OF a family OF four boys.
Some fifty years ago his father hanged
himself TO the disused water wheel OF the
old Sitting or nail mill in Dover. In re-
lation TO this hanging, this story has
passed into a legend: Benjamin Ayers,
the youngest son, on the day of the sui
eide OF his father, came home and found
his mother busy about her homework.
He asked, "Where is father, mother?"
In a deliberate, drawing tone OF voice,
one of her characteristics, his mother
made this answer: Benjamin, you faith
er went out and hung himself and il he
hangs much longer he will be as black as
a niger" From the window i'm front
OF which she was working the body of
the husband and father was in full view.
The Ayers family afterwards moved to
Needham and squatted on the Colburn
land.

THE FLYER" DERAILED.
Accident on Bennington g. Rutland Road
One Man Killed.

-One Wan KILLED.
RUTLAND, VT, Jan. 2i.-The Benning-
ton & Rutland railroad had the worst ac-
cident In many years yesterday, by which
Edward ii. Cobb OF Wallingford was
killed and Mrs. Herbert Curtis OF Rutland
was fatally and several other passengers
slightly injured.
The "Flyer" which had just left this
station for New York, was derailed while
running slowly at the lower end OF the
Rutland yard and three cars rolled down
an embankment.
1t appears that the rear car left the iron
FIRST and pulled the others after it. The
engine staid on the track.
Nh. Cobb and Mrs. Curtis were in the
coach which was the middle car OF the
train. Mr.. Cobb, who was a large man.
was found under the car, dead, but not
badly mangled or d%isfigured. He was 80
years old, and was a commercial traveller
for a Boston firm.

One of the sensations of the week is
the letter of Secretary Gresham in rela
tion to Hawiian affairs. The Secretarys S
letter to the President, which is the only
thing yet made public, leaves the people
uncertain as to just what has been done,
and in the dark as to what Minister
Wiilis's instructions are. The Presi
dents friends insist that when all the
facts are known that the people of the
United States will be satisfied with the
position the government has taken.
Meantime, from what is inferred from
the Secretary's letter, if the proposal is
to overthrow a Republic, that has been
recognized by all the leading govern
mments, and which has fully a accredited
minister at Washington to-day, for the
purpose of restoring the disIolute queen.
the people irrespective of party are
speaking with no uncertain sound of C IN
domination. There is nothing to do but
to await developments. The advices from
the Sandwich Islands, expected by mail
at San Francisco yesterday, failed to
connect and just what has been done is
not known. The latest is to the effect
that Secretary Gresham assures Senator
Morgan, Chairman Of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, hat there is no intention
of resort to arms to seat the depOsed
queen on the throne.

A RAMBLE OVER UNCLE SANS TERRI
TORY,

If any one thinks tile MormOns intend
to give up polygamy, visit to Utah will
convince him to the contrary. As long as
Utah is only territory, they can do no.
thing, for the country at large can com
pei them to drop it; but, give them state
hood, and see how quickly polygamy
will tlaunt itself openly, and then what
is to be done about it? States have priv
ileges that territories do not!!! We
hear how the Gentiles have the upper
hand at the elections in the largest places
like Ogden and Salt Lake City; the
crafty Mormons permit it; but let them
gain the lveted prize of statehood, and
the Gentiles will be relegated to the
places they previously occupied: one
Sunday in Salt Lake City will be an eye.
opener to any one. Seeing this vast
crowd of Mormons, with their Sunday
morning services in the smaller assembly
halls all over the city, and in the after
noon at the tabernacle; while the
churches of all the religious denomina-
tiOns are small, few in number, and with
weak congregations: no one can fail to
see and feel the great preponderance of
the saints? One sample of their hypoc-
risy will suffice. A lady was boarding
with Mormon family while her own
house was being repaired, and as they,
out of courtesy, went with her to church
in the morning, of course she accom-.
panied them to the afternoon tabernacle
services. The son of the family, a
young man of twenty or more years, a
graduate of Cornell University, had been
all the week very busy with various
books of reference. She noticed this
fact, but thought nothing of it. The
family went together to the tabernacle
door, where the father left them. as he
was an official. When the service was
we'll under way, the father stood in the
pulpit and said, if such an one'is in the
house, calling his own son by name, will
he please come forward and preach to
us: they wish people to think that the
one called upon is entirely ignorant that
he is to speak, and that he is inspired by
the spirit, without any previous prepara-
tion whatever. 1t is noticeable that
only the more intelligent are moved by
the spirit during the tourist season, when
a special set of gospel sermons is pre-
pared for their benefit. This lady would
never have suspected the trick except
that she recalled the young mans study

THE STATE TEACHERS CONVEN-
TION

The State Teachers Convention held
in Rutland last week seems to have been
from several points of view the most i'm
portant educational gathering ever held
in the State. 1t was so pronounced by
the Rutland Herald which devoted from
three to seven columns a day during the
sessions to reports of the papers and ad-
dresses. The programme was rich and
varied and the sessions occupied about
three days. No other educational gath
ering in other States during the present
year SO far as we have observed has fur
nished such an array of talent. Audi
ences numbering twelve or fourteen hun
dred people greeted DR.. Ballet of
Springfield and President Tucker of
Dartmouth College, as well as some
others who spoke. Horace E. Scndder
of Boston, editor of the Atlantic Monthly,
delivered one of the most notable adj
dresses ever delivered in New England.
Nearly all the leading teachers of Yer
mont were present, and several of them
took a conspicuous part in the meeting
Unlike most conventions of the kind,
this one began with a large attendance
which was maintained by the interest of
the proceedings until the close. AT the
end of the first session IL was found that
the Baptist church would be inadequate,
so it was arranged to hold meetings in
the large auditorium of the COngrega-
tional church, and at times the capacity
of this building was taxed, and that
while meetings were being held in the
rooms of the High School.

Speaking of feamalc suffrage, it is a
rather curious historical fact that
women first voted among the English.
speaking race in the Isle of Man. AS
to whether man SO preponderated
over woman in the isle as to render
the feamalc vote insignificant, or that
woman so dominated man as to make
it a matter of compulsion rather than
complimentary concession. is not
known. At all events, woman's ill.,
fiuence could not have extended very
far in governmental ~concrol, or the
Isle of Man would be known to-day
as the Isle of Woman. 1t is probable
that it was simply a matter of isle up
on the troubled waters.
