In 1876 Mrs. Euretta Sellers became

etery, Boston. In the course Of time
she died and was buried there, as was
also her husband. The couple left an
only son, George Sellers, who by In.
heritance became proprietor of the lot.
In August he endeavored to raise
money, offering as security the deed OF
his parents grave. The document was
regarded us frst-class collateral by
Charles A. Loud, money lender, of Bos-
ton, who advanced one hundred dollars
on the deed, taking Sellers note at
sixty days for one hundred and ten dol
lars, and at the same time obtained
from him written promise to have the
bodies of his father and mother re-
moved within the time specified in the
note. The sixty days elapsed and then
Loud discovered that Sellers had left
the city. Loud looked upon the lot as
his property, and applied to the trus-
tees for the transfer of the title to him,
but this they decline to do.

Tho Cunarder Captains Were Satisfied that
the Umbria Could Make New York.
LONDON, Jan. 3.-On the arrival at
Liverpool of the Cunard line steamer
Gallia, Capt Ferguson, from New York,
Dec. "a, for Liverpool, a press representa-
tive at once boarded the steamer and
questioned Capt. Ferguson in relation to
the report that he had refused assistance
to the Umbria.
Capt. Ferguson said that he would de-
cline to make any statement until he had
communicated with the headquarters of
the Cunard company.
Both Captain Ferguson and his officers
and the passengers on the Gallia were de-
lighted to learn that the Umbria had
arrived safely, although they seem to
have had no serious doubt on that score.
At the Cunard company's Office it was
said, after Captain Ferguson's report had
been received, that the Umbria did not
signal to the Gallia to stand by to save
life, and that, therefore, the Gallia pro-
ceeded on her voyage.
There is a growing impression in the
minds of the public that the Gallia and
the Umbria understood each other and
that the Umbria meant that it's signals
should be interpreted and acted upon just
as they were interpreted by the Gallia,
the commanders of both vessels being
satisfied that the Umbria could make its
way to New York unaided and in safety.
The officials of the Cunard line, from
the beginning, placed no confidence in
the story that the Gallia refused as
sistance to the Umbria. They all along
regarded the alleged refusal to be based
on the imagination, of some of the pas
sengers.
They pointed ont that It would tend
greatly to the advantage of the captain of
the Gallia to tow the Umbria to New
York, and that it was just possible that

Success in Life.

In the death Of Jay Gould, the multi
millionaire, remarkable career was
ended. The press of the entire world
Is full of the story Of his life, from the
time that the barefooted boy left his
fathers farm to go to n country school
tall he died, our leading railroad king.
Such life has many sides to 1t. We
are concerned just now to ask the ques-
ton whether Mr.. Gould's life was sue
cess
There are many ways of judging
whether life is successful, whether at
the end of it one can say that it has
been worth living. Some people will
test n life by the character which a man
gained. We are told that Mr.. Gould
was temperate, Industrious, and fond
of his home and family. So much
can be said in his favor. But, If history
is correct, his industry conferred solely
on his own interests. He was devoted
almost wholly to enlarging his own &C.
QUESTIONS. He gave no sign of being a
great lover of his fellow-men. He had
thought of little except how to increase
his own wealth, and if that end could
be accomplished he was believed to be
INSCRIPTIONS in the use of means. II
the successful achievement of character
means the development of unselfshness,
probity and benefcence, his life was
not a success. 1t exhibited only those
negative qualities and virtues which
could be applied to his own selfish pur

MAYOR wEBsTER.s MESSAGE.

Mayor Webster's message, so far as
it pertains to the two greatest questions
that confront the new court of common
council-water and Carbohydrates not
touch a popular chord. His honor
urges immediate action in the matter of
securing an additional water supply,
and recommends the adoption of the
Hop brook Quassapaug-B Bantam scheme,
which the people have already con-
demned by their votes upon the ques-
ton of bonds. He wisely avoids dis
cussion of the relative merits of the
eastern and western sources of supply,
and practically ignores the report of
the eminent engineer who was brought
here at great expense to settle the vexed
question. He says that the opposition
to Hop brook is mainly on the ground
of impurity, and concludes by de-
claring that the water from that source
is pure and wholesome. Readers of the
DEMOCRAT know that the opposition to
Hop brook has been principally on
account of the insufficiency Of the
supply, although there are those who
find fault with the quality.
Rudolph Herring, an eminent hy-
draulic engineer, staked his reputation
on the claim that there was better
water at the east and a larger supply,
than at the west. He also made pro-
vision for giving the mills all the water
they needed and found that in the end
the eastern project would be the best
and cheapest. In the face of this Mayor
Webster supplements his message by de-
claring last night in open meeting,
when an attempt was made to railroad
the Hop brook scheme through the new
board, that we must secure water from
that source or nowhere, as the city at
torneY had declared that the eastern
scheme was impracticable. With all
due respect to Mayor Webster and City
Attorney Burpee we again declare that
the scheme is not impracticable, and
Furthermore that the people, whose
wishes should be respected, are not I'm
favor of going west for water.
In regard to the petition of the Horse
AsalAOdu W AOL pSEhlSSlOh W SUBSTITUTE
electricity for horses as a motive power,
his honor takes the rosy view that the
trolley system will help to build the
town and should be encouraged. Again
the DEMOCRAT has to take the negative
of the question. The introduction of
electricity on our streets will not add
single industry to the city and we know
of no reason why special privileges
should be granted to corporation bent
only on making money. Is there any
reason why the Street Railway Co
should be exempt from taxation, while
the great manufacturers of the city
are taxed upon their capital
stock? We know of none. The privi-
leges they ask are exclusive ones,
guarded against competition of any
sort, and they should pay tax to sup
port the municipality granting them
such extraordinary powers. "Quid pro
quo" should be the watchword of the
council, when special privileges are
| asked. Do not give in fee simple valu-
able franchises from which the CITY
ought to derive a revenue.
If Mayor Webster really desires an
early settlement of these two great
questions the DEMOCRAT would suggest
that he recommend by special message
or otherwise that they be submitted to a
vote of the people.

little time will be wasted before a caucus

the caucus will be held. The election of

THE news comes from Chicago that
the statue of Diana, which swung on
the tower of the Madison Square
garden in New York city, and was sent
to Chicago to adorn the dome of the
agricultural building, is to be taken
down and broken up. The women de-
clare it is indecent, and the artists say
it is out of proportion and not at all
like the model submitted by St.
Gaudcns. When it was at first proposed
to secure the figure many of the mem
bcrs of the board of lady managers
objected, but to no purpose. Now that
the artists object, however, there is a
different result. These artists say they
are not surprised that New York was
willing to part with the bronze effigy.
1t is hardly probable, however, that the
figure will be destroyed.

pRuGoED AND ROBBED.
Believed That HoIelman Wilson Met With
Foul Play in Boston.

Foul Play in Boston.
Boston, Jan. S.-Last Saturday the
body of man was recovered from the
water at Prison Point bridge, and it has
been identified as that of Gardner Wilson
of North Raymond, Me-, by his brother
Alfred, who has been here some days
searching for him.
Upon the body was found a railroad
mileage book and an insurance policy for
1000, but a gold watch, a valuable stud
and a large amount of money known to
have been carried by Wilson, We're miss
ing.
Wilson was part owner of the Wilson
House in North Raymond, Me. From in
vestigation it appears almost certain
that Wilson was drugged and robbed
while in the city proper, that while in a
dazed condition he wandered to Charles
ton on the tracks of the Boston g. Maine
railroad and walked into the water.
