Lewiston Journal The newly APP
pointed Minister to Italy. Mr.. James j
Allen, is that wealthy gentleman who is
said to have Contributed $4,000 to the
democratic campaign fund in eonsidera-
ton of which Mr.. VIM. c. Whitney
promised him the mission to Italy. If
current rumors are correct there never
has been more noted case of the sale
of an office than the appointment of Mr..
Van Allen to this position. He MAIN
tains Il country place at Newport, which
is chiefly characterized by the lavish
expenditure of wealth and for its close
imitation of everything that is English.
Mr.. Van Allen is presumably an Ameri-
can citizen, but it is doubtful whether
he has ever exercised in recent years the
right of citizenship. or whether he has
lived long enough in the country To
actually acquire Il legal residence any
where. His children have been cducat-

Railroad accidents have been happen
ing with alarming frequency of late
causing great loss of life and property
The last occurred on the Wabash road
at kingsbury, Indiana, and as Il result
eleven were killed among them, being
two young ladies from Boston, and
eighteen or more badly injured. The
cause of the accident was an open
switch, a brakeman either forgot or was
absent minded. and the passenger ex.
press dashed into side tracked freight
without moments warning. This Is
the seventh serious accident that has
occurred within month and it is hoped
that another will not be added to the al
ready too long list.

this year of grace, 1888 1t seems hard
10 believe vet it is so. The recent cleo
ton of Miss Emily Louise Gerry, as
regent of the Society of Daughters of
the Revolution, makes an interesting
point of connection between the present
aud the past in American history. Miss
Gerry's father. Elbridgc Gerry, was a
signer of the Declaration of lndepend-
cnce, member of the committee which
framed the Constitution of the nitcd

Waterville; and the trustees, Abbott
and Bradbury, by Crosby and Crosby of
Dexter, and it looks like an interesting
three-cornered fight.
The suit of Mitchell against the trus-
tees is pending in the law court upon
the preliminary questions as to whether
the Offer of reward was made by the
trustees Individually or by the bank, and
whether the question of the conviction
of the real murderers of cashier Barron

lished in the Dexter Gazette, Feb. p,
1873, Is as follows:
ISL 900 reward: On the 22nd inst,
