A CoRoNER's CASE.
There Might Have Been Coroner's War
But for the Good Sense of the Coroners


A little incident occurred yesterday,
which at one time promised to bring on
something more dramatic than the Chi
nese-Japanese difficulty, viz, war of
local coroners. Happily the good sense
OF all concerned settled the matter ami
cably. 1t is the law of the state that on
the occasion of fatal accidents on rail-
roads the railroad Official shall notify
the county attorney, il there be one
within ten miles, and that official shall
direct a coroner to hold an inquest.
Yesterday, when the old soldier was
killed on the Maine Central, Assistant
Superintendent Eaton A Hall notified
County Attorney True, in accordance
with law. The County Attorney. in
turn, directed Coroner K. N. Perry to
take charge of the remains and hold an
inquest. Mr.. Perry went at once to
RlcE's undertaking rooms to take charge
of the remains. When he arrived there
he found jury already summoned and
Coroner Stephen d. Hall in charge. There
was surprise on both sides, and then mu-
tual explanations. Coroner Hall lad
been Informed of the accident, and had
gone ahead supposing it was all rig bit.
There were mutual explanations and
then Coroner Hall disbanded his jury.
Mr.. Perry will summon his jury today
and hold his inquest.

THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
Death of Mr.. Patrick MCGOWAN Leaves a
Vacancy Which the City Council Will
Have to Fill.

The death of Mr.. Patrick MCGOWAN
leaves vacancy in the school commit
tee which the city council will be called
upon to fill. Mr.. MCGOWAN was Demo-
crat, and represented Ward 2. The city
council is Republican in both branches,
but it does not necessarily follow that it
will elect Republican, since Ward 2 is
SO thoroughly Democratic that they
would put in Democra6snext March. 1t
is understood that there is already a
movement in Ward 2 in favor of ex-
Councilman John B. Kehoe, who is a
Democrat Of prominence in that ward.
There may also be a movement in fav-
or of electing woman. One prominent
mem Der of the school board said last
evening that he thought the presence of
woman in the board would be very de-
sirable and advantageous. Last spring
woman was candidate in Ward l, but
did not receive sufficient support to midi
cate any great popularity for the idea.
1t is said that there will also be
strong movement, either now or at the
March election, to put Alderman Joseph
A.McGowan in the place.

OBITUARY.
Patrick MCGOWAN.

Mr.. Patrick MCGOWAN died at his
home in this city yesterday morning at
4 O'Clock. He had been ill for long
time. In April, 1892, he was very sick
with pneumonia, and at his advanced
age it was impossible for him to recover
fully. Since that time he has failed,
and for long time has been very fee
bic.
MIR. MCGOWAN was one of the most
prominent Irish-Americans i'll Portland,
and familiar figure in the school COM
mittee, of which he was the oldest
member in point of service, Mr.. Meow
an was born in County Leitrim, Ireland,
rs years ago the first of this month. In
1852, he came to Portland, but it was
not until 1864 that Mrs. MCGOWAN and
their seven children came to join him in
this city. In Ireland he had worked at
farming, and upon first coming to Amer
lea he took whatever work he found.
But, considering his early disadvantages
he was man of good education, and
gradually worked into the book bust
ness. In 1874, with his son, Terence P,
he started the Catholic bookstore now
kept under the firm name of MCGOWAN
& Young. About ten years ago Mr..
Young, his son-in law, became men,
her of the firm. In connection with the
store, Mr.. Patrick MCGOWAN had for
many years the ticket agency of the AL
Ian, Dominion and Cunard lines>of Eng
lish steamers Among the Irish-Ameri-
cans in this city Mr.. MCGOWAN has been
much respected leader. When the St.
Vincent de Paul Society was formed he
became it's first president, and has been
very active in it's charitable work. He
was also the representative of the Wild
ows' Wood Society for his church. In
the times of famine in Ireland he was
foremost in collecting funds for his dis
tressed countrymen, and in the days of
the Land League he was jealous help
er likewise.
But it is as member of the school
committee that Mr.. MCGOWAN is best
known in this city. A firm Democrat,
he early won the hearts of the voters of
Ward 2, and about thirteen years ago
was elected member oil. the school COM
mittee. He has been reelected regular
ly ever since, and his grey hairs and ven
cradle appearance have all these years
been in striking contrast to the youth of
the men generally made his associates
by the voters of other wards. He took
great interest in tine schools, and was al
ways punctual and laborious in all his
duties connected with them.
Mr.. MCGOWAN was very charitable
man, and true brother to the less for
tunate of his neighbors. He will be
mourned by many besides the mem bers
of his family circle.
He leaves two SONS, Terence P, of Nc
Gowan & Young, Joseph A., cashier at
the Grand Trunk off ces, and a mem Der
of the city government: and two daugh-
ers, Mrs. Edmund j. Young and Mrs.
Bryan Connolly. Two other sons, John
and Patrick, died several years ago.
The funeral will take place at the
Cathedral at ~ M, Tuesday, when a
solemn high mass of requiem will be cell
ebrated.

DEPUTY PLuMMER RElNsTATED.
Sheriff Grams Reasons for this Course
Nothing Brought Against Plummer by
His Accusers.


On Saturday night Sheriff Cram sent to
Charles A. Plummer communication
directing the latter to resume the duties
of the position Of deputy sheriff, from
which be was suspended about two
m onths ago. 1t will be recalled that
Plummer's suspension was the result of
all editorial which appeared in the Eve
ing Express of this city. Plummer had
assisted in two seizures of liquor at the
Durant House, of which Colonel Fred N.
Dow is an owner. A fter the second seiz-
ure there were accusations of perjury
against one Bartlett, who appeared as
witness when the case was tried in the
municipal court.
Thereupon the Express published an
editorial which the grand jury has since
interpreted as an accusation of suborna-
tion of perjury against Charles A.Plum-
mer. An indictment for criminal libel
was accordingly returned against Editor
George W. Norton.
AS soon as this charge was made by
the Express, Sheriff Cram, who had
already expressed willingness to inves-
tigate charge against anyone connected
with his Office, at once suspended Plum
mer. pending an investigation. Bartlett
was arrested for perjury. against whom,
however, no indictment was found by
the grand jury.
Sheriff Cram was seen last night and
said that the reinstatement was made
in view of Saturdays developments in
he case of the State against George W.
Norton, editor of the Express.
By going to the law court on ques-
tion as to the sufficiency of the indict-
nlent, the Express has let go the oppor-
tunity in this case to justify it's accusa-
ion by showing the truth of it. The
Express. taken this course Sheriff
Cram undou btedly infers that it has
no ia cts with which to substautiate the
charge, and has accordingly reinstated
Deputy Plummer.

White Lead as a Preservative.

The advantages of using genuine white
lead for painting surfaces, especially iron
work, have been known for years. but an
instance mentioned by Sir William Arrol
will serve to impress the fact on the mem
DRY. Some years ago he purchased the ma
terlals of old Hammersmith bridge for the
purpose of using portion in erecting a
temporary plant at one of his large under
taklngs. The iron work had been in DO
sltlon o2 years, and many of the parts ow-
ing to inaccessibility, had not been paint
ed since they were placed in position.
Finding them in so remarkable a state of
preservation, Sir William Arrol had some
OF the paint analysed, when it was found
to be genuine white lead.-English Me-
