The community was very much saddened
to learn of the death of Mrs. G. F. Piper,
which took place at her home on Monday
afternoon. Having been in delicate health
for several years, she was unable to with
stand the disease which attacked her. She
was domestic in her tastes, her delicate
health combining her to the home; but she
attracted to herself large circle of friends
by her sweet, womanly ways. Her hus-
band and five children survive her, the
three youngest being still at home. Mrs.
Piper was in full sympathy with her hus-
bands work, aiding him in all of his eff
forts for the church. She was born in Kit
terry, Me-, in 1871, and had been married
80 years. Her funeral was held in the
Unitarian church on Thursday, a large
company assembling to show their regard
and sympathy.

In this country today there is one Amer
lean family whose private fortunes amount
to 1874 600, 600, or considerably more than
one-haf the valuation of the great state
of Iowa. There are five citizens whose
fortunes average $50, 600, 600 each; 80 with
S1O,OOO,OOO 100 with S, 000,0 900; 200 with
81, 900, 000 and there are millionaiIes al
most without number. Less than 2OOO
persons own twice as much as all the
money in the country, to say nothing of
the many millions more that they control.
Two thousand capitalists already own
more than all the rest of our Is, 600 600 of
population.
With these figures on one side of them,
and a million idle men looking for work
on the other, what has Congress been do
ing? 1t has been dickering and trading
over mere question of taxation, in the
midst of scramble of selfish men for the
loaves and fishes.
SO much for the great question of equi-
table distribution. Now let us look at the
land question. Mr.. Vanderbilt towns"
100000 acres of land. Mr.. Disston of
| Pennsylvania boasts of his 100000 broad
acres. The Schenley estate owns 2O0O
acres within the cities of Pittsburg and
| Allegheny. The California millionaire,
| Murphy, owns an area OF land bigger than
the whole state of Massachusetts. For
eign noblemeu, who owe no allegiance to
this country, are permanently absentee
landlords and spend all their money abroad
own q, 200, 900 acres of land in this coun
try, OF more than the entire area of Ire
land. Lord Scully of Ireland owns 10000
acres of farming land in Illinois, which hi
rents out in small parcels to tenant farm
ers, and pockets his annual 100000 in
rent, to spend abroad.
Now, while over one-half the people o
the country are landless, what has Con
gress ever done with the land question:
Since 1861 it has given 1S1, 600, 900 acres o
the peoples land to railroads, of which
the Illinois Central alone got a subsidy OF
100000 acres, good part of which has
been put into house lots, whereby to ex

COnway's Sensation

mysterious Fires ---,Suspicions Arising
that the Husband OF Mrs. Taylor May
nave Been UnJustly Imprisoned,
The recent arrest of Mrs. Susan j. Tay-
lor OF Walpole, charged with firing her
millinery establishment to obtain the insur-
ance, and her being bailed by her brother,
BGice Mcdowell, causes considerable talk
In regard to various fires in the vicinity in
recent years. The Mcdowell brothers,
Geo. X. and Brice, year ago in May
bought a mill and a farm near Conway A
barn on the property, not valuable, but in
sured for 5000, was burned, and there was
a dispute about the insurance Then in
January the mill burned. That was in
sured for $500 and the contents for S2500.
The brothers had bought the whole prop
erty, including the farm, for $4,000. The
loss on the mill and contents has not yet
been adjusted and a suit will be brought,
by insurance companies, and brisk con-
test is expected. According to the insur-
ance agents, the Mcdowell family have had
~ losses by fire during the family exist
ence.
Mrs. Taylor is known chiefly through
the Imprisonment of her husband Eugene
Taylor, for poisoning his little son. Tay-
Tor was born in Wardsboro, VT, about As
years ago, his father being Calvin Taylor,
an old farmer honored by all his friends
and neighbors. There is strong feeling
that there was mistake eight years ago,
when Taylor was imprisoned, and that he
is innocent, and a petition is talked of for
the pardon of the unfortunate man, if it
shall prove true that he did not commit the
deed charged A movement will soon take
shape in Greenfield among her solid bust
ness men to press petition for the release
of the prisoner. The circumstances of the
case were these: Taylor purchased, at a
Greenfield drug store, five grains of strych-
nine to kill vagrant dog, and that night
he and his little son were found in convul-
sions from poison. At the hearing there
were conversations which bore strongly
against the prisoner, but through it all
there was also an entire absence of motive.
1t is agreed that Taylor loved his child
dearly; that he was an honest, conscien-
tious, hard working man; that he made a
success of his tobacco land, and held the
respect of all who knew him. In prison
he has always stood for law and order, and
few years ago did good work in stopping
an incipient riot among the other prison
ers. Altogether it is a peculiar case which
people in the vicinity of Conway hope may
be cleared up.
