economic the power, and give greater

certainly has occasion to rejoice in
having enlisted in its business interests

of those interested in the new company.
Disappeared.
The mysterious disappearance OF Lewis
Blackmer of Melrose, father of Mrs.
Frank Connolly, is surrounded with cir
cumstances that impel the belief that it
is a case of suicide. He has had spells of
alteration for some time, and during the
week prior to his disappearance num-
Der of acts of his indicate that he was
not of sound mind. On Thursday last
he packed UP camping outfit and en-
ployed the draymanto take him to Long
Lake, about seven miles east of Melrose.
He has been in the habit of making two
or three such excursions a year, and
nothing peculiar was observed N his
going. He was seen in boat several
times during the day, and at evening
his boat was found ahoat in the lake
with nothing in it excepting his hat,
handkerchief and shoes, so disposed as
to show that they had been arranged
with care. The oars were in the boat,
neatly put away under the seat. A re-
markable fact is that he had not put up
the tent he took away with him, but his
whole camping outfit was compactly ar
ranged about the roots of tree, his
fishing pole with the other articles. He
had large stone in the boat with a
chain abont it, when last seen, and that
is missing. It is thought he tied that to
his person and jumped into the water.
Before his disappearance he drew $500
in cash from the bank, and had that up.
on his person. Mr.. Connolly went down
to Melrose during the past week and
several men to drag the lake,
and he is confident the remains will be
found, The lake is more than a mile
long, and only few rods wide, and
very deep.
