He WAS UGLY.
More Facts About the Latest
Maine Murder.
Greenwood Pray, Who Shot His Wife
Nellie and Committed Suicide,
Said 10 Nave Been l.Ismpssed-Hs Often
Iii-irsated Her.

PoRTLAsp, June ii.-Offieials have
become possessed of additional facts con-
cerning the murder of Nellie Pray at Shir-
ley's Mills by her husband, Greenwood C..
Fray. The husband had repeatedly threat.
ened his wife before, even shortly after he
took her from her parental roof. when she
was Nellie Littlefeid. the daughter of Will
lard Littleiield, wealthy stock raiser.
The latest Maine murderer, Greedwood
Pray, comes from an old and respected
family, which for generations has lived at
Blanchard. He left Blanchard when boy
to work in the woods, on the river, and in
the mills at Shirley. His home being only
SIX miles from hers, it was naturally that
he should know Nellie when child.
He was not an admirer of the young lady
till within short period before her mar
rage. He was generally considered of a
jealous disposition. His ill-temper is sup
posed to have been inherited from his
father who lived unhsppily with his wife,
and died not more than two years ago, Ieav-
ing an insane widow.
After shooting his wife, as has been de-
seribed, Pray went out of the house as if to
make his escape. lie saw that some of the
neighbors had heard the noise and were ar
irving, and recognizing that escape was i'm
possible, he turned back into the house and
went upstairs. There he reloaded his re-
yolyer and shot himself in the forehead.
When the people went upstairs they found
him lying upon the floor. his brains oozing
from the wound
The house where the murder was done
was that of Mrs. Pray's sister Mrs. Frank
Pray of Shirley Mills. 1t sets back from
the road, and is story and a half house,
with stable connected.
The body of the murdered woman was
sent TO Guilford Friday morning for burial,
and the remains of the murderer and sui
eide was sent to Blanchard in the afternoon.
1t is rumored that serious trouble arose
between the pair long before they sepa-
rated, and he had made threats, but she did
not think anything would come of it. lie
had struck her once or twice, and hnd in
jured and misused her. Her folks had tried
To get her to leave him before, and she had
refused at first. thinking that she could get
along with him; but she had to take her
children and go to her sisters at last, he
was so ugly.

About 10 years ago the parish church Of
Glynde Sussex, was broken into and the
communion plate. together with the name
plates on the tombs roundabout the chan
Gel, was distracted. Some time after an
oxman on the estate had been to turn out
his oxen when he noticed something in the
pond which he at first thought to be Il fish,
but which subsequently turned ont to be
an inscription plate from the tombs.
This led to further inquiries, and the es-
tate carpenter who had been engaged in
doing some repairs in the editice, was sus-
pccted, and a careful examination of his
work shop led to the detection of particles
OF silver in chopping block, and he was
apprehended and convicted Of the robbery.
Up to quite recently, however, no trace OF
the communion plate had been found, when
by some chance the chalice, which is of the
seventeenth century design, was discovered
in a dealers shop at Norwich. 1t was at
once recognized, and it has been repur-
chased at IL cost of $50 and restored to the
church. w Westminster Gazette.

Wheat Bread and Dyspeptics.

The conclusion that wheat bread is unfit
for dyspeptics, sometimes jumped at be-
cause i'll effects are noticed to follow its use,
is erroneous. On the contrary, it has been
pointed ont by Bouchard and Others that
farinaceous food is peculiarly adapted TO
some dyspeptic patients. it is the microbes
in the starch. which is capable of produc-
ing irritating acids that cause the trouble.
To avoid this Bouchartl recommends that
only the crust or toasted crumbs of bread
be used by dyspeptics, particularly those
whose stomachs are dilated.
The reason of this is explained by the fact
that baking temporarily, though not per
manently, arrests the fermentation of
dough When it is again heated by the
warmth of the stomach, the fermentation is
renewed. In cases where the bread is
toasted brown through, the fermentation
is stopped permanently. - West Chester

THE CHlLDS' BRIDGE WRECK.


WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Nov. 10.-ln
the matter of the wreck at Childs' bridge in
Wallingford, on the Bennington and Rut-
land railway, September &, 1898, in which
a sleeping car was derailcd on the night ex-
press train bound north, at about 2:O5
o. clock in the morning, the board of railroad
commissioners finds that the bridge in ques-
ton was of good construction and material,
and that it was carefully looked after by
Road and Bridge-master CoOmer and his
assistants. and that its factor of safety was
up to the standard for bridge construction
until recent date, although for the last
few years the factor of six has been attained
as the usual standard limit of safety in
bridge engineering.
Effort was made at the Investigation to
ascertain motive for an attempt to cause
such destruction to life as this came SO
near resulting in,
The location is nearly two miles from the
village and the farm houses are sparsely To-
Gated between, and none very near the
scene Of the wreck The place was reason
ably well selected for the wreck, if the
motive was robbery, and the hour of the
night was suitable, although the expectation
of escape on the part Of the criminals would
not seem to be so rational
No development was reached pointing To a
probability that the deed was done out of Il
purpose Of revenge or mere righteousness,
but that it was the, work of designing on
rev engefu crimiusls, or of an insane per
son, the board is sot in doubt.
