Mr.. COREY's SAD DEATH.
Full Particulars Came to Hand Yesterda

The Calais Advertiser, which arrived
yesterday, gives the full particulars of
the sad death of Mr.. Frank Corey. The
Advertiser says:
Mr.. Corey was one of party of three
who left Calais on the Princeton train
Saturday morning for a weeks hunting
at West Musquash. At Princeton they
met their guide, one well known and ex-
Derieuced ins woodcraft, and the four
pushed on from Princeton to the foot OF
the lake where they camped that night.
The next morning when the guide with a
canoe in which the luggage was stored
was about to cross the lake Mr.. Corey,
feeling tired sis id he would accompany
him, leaving the other two to walk
around, distance of about five miles.
The lake lay placid and undlsturbed and
gave promise of speedy and successful
crossing. When about half the distance
they encountered a heavy wind and
choppy sea, and were sGruck by huge
wave that nearly submerged the canoe,
but which the guide prevented by getting
out and balancing the canoe on one side
while Corey padded on the other. In
this manner they proceeded for some
ures necessary and he was next seen
swimming on his back supporting the
canoe and Corey by one arm passed
through the bar which he continued to
do for about an hour bringing the canoe
within about 400 yards of the shore,
when he became unconscious through ex
haustion and lost his hold and knew
nothing more until he was resuscitated
some two hours afterward by help OBJ
tanned from the nearest settlement.
Mr.. Corey, on his marriage with Miss
Mary D. King became member of the
late firm of 6. 6. King & Co, of Calais.
He was respected highly in the COM
munity as consistent gentleman, honor
able and upright in all his dealings, and
in his home was a thoughtful and affec.
tionate son, devoted husband, and
kind and indulgent father He will be
greatly missed in social life by many
friends His wife and two young sons
have the heartfelt sympathy of all in
their affection.
A despatch received at $50 last night
by Mr.. John l.. Corey, q brother of the
dead man, announcing that the body had
been faund. The body will be buried IN
Calais.

The National League Convention Con-
veneS at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND. May 29.-Although few
of the famous Americans who are on the
programme of the first great conference
of the National Municipal League have
not yet appeared, the meeting began to-
day with a good attendance and prospects
for profitable Interchange Of ideas. The
meeting room of the Chamber of Com
merce was we'll filled with delegates and
prominent citizens OF Cleveland at 3
O'Clock, when the convention began.
j. w. 6. Cowles welcomed the league
on behalf of the city, aud a letter OF well
come was received from Mayor Mckis-
sen, who is not in the city.
James w. Carter of New York, the
President OF the league, made brief re-
sponse. He was followed by Clinton
Rogers Woodruff OF Philadelphia, who
read paper on "a Years Work Tor
Municipal Reform"
James w. Pryor, Secretary of the club
OF New York, made a report for four
months in the metropolis.
Hon. A. Butler, representing the Mill
waukee League, reported that the work
in that city was being prosecuted on
definite plan, and that 1t had pro babIy de-
termined the character of the next Legis-
lature.
Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore re-
ported condition of standstill in his city,
with a healthy boss in power, due, he
believed, to the fact that all their taxes
committee was appointed by partisan
council.
George Burnham of Philadelphia re-
ported good progress.
AS the old corps of officers were all
Eastern men, the organic law of the
league Was so changed that the numb ber OF
Vice. Presidents was increased to five
and the members OF the Executive Com
mittee to nine, in order that the West
could be represented.
The old officers were reelected, and in
addition there are the Western officers
chosen. as follows: For Third Vice-Presi-
dent, Thomas \. Strong OF Portland, Or,
President of the Municipal League OF
Portland; for Fourth Vice President. L..
E. Holden of Cleveland; for Fifth Vice

consent to Sherman and Foster going to

OF course, the machine in such strong
hands will also control the selection OF
district delegates, and there are some
who think Foraker may come out in 1896
as Garfield did in 1880, which would
mean that Mckinley would come out as
Sherman did at that time and in succeed

would all be retired

that involved so many radical changes for
the future as the one just closed, with the

SAN Francisco, May 29.-John II.
Crocker, for years well-known Pine
street stock broker, committed suicide at
his home. 1852 Broadway. this morning
by shooting himself in the head just
above the right ear. The causes that led
up to the deed are not exactly known,
though it is believed that financial troub-
les, aggravated by severe attack OF neu-
ralgia. caused him to take his life.
Crocker had not premeditated death; he
killed himself on the impulse Of the mo-
meut.
This morning he rose in his usual good
spirits and break tasted with his wife and
children. At the breakfast table he COM
planned of a severe pain in his head and
his wife at his bidding baIhed his fore
head. After partaking Of the morning
meal he left the dining-room, presuma-
bly, to go to his Office on Pine street
Instead of leaving the house, however,
he went into his bedroom and. taking an
old fashioned four barreled pistol from a
bureau, he fired one shot into his head.
His death must have been instantaneous,
as the bullet entered his brain.
A daughter of the deceased heard the
pistol shot, but she paid no attention TO
it, as she imagined the noise was made
by door being slammed. The dead
body of the stock broker was discovered
by his wife, who had occasion to enter
the room. She did not believe her hus-
band was dead, and DR.. Henry Gibbons,
Jr.. was summoned. He at once pro-
nounced the man dead. and the Coroner
was notified, after which Deputy Coro.
ner Hallett removed the body to the
Morgue.
Deceased leaves a widow and three
children, the youngest of whom is IL
years OF age.
He was member of Myrtle Council,

POWER AND WEALTH.
The United States Far Ahead of All
Other Nations.

The United States Far Ahead of All
Other Nations.
| NEW YORK, May 29.-The English sta
tistician, Michael G.. Mulnall, publishes
in the June number of the North Ameri-
can Review" just issued, an article on
"The Power and Wealth OF the United
| States"
| Mr.. MuihalPs conclusion is that if we
take a survey of mankind in ancient or
modern times, as regards the physical,
mechanical and intellectual force OF ma
lions. we find nothing to compare with
the United States i'll this year of 1895, and
that the United States possesses by far the
greatest productive power in the world.
| He asserts that the absolute effective force
of the American peoplel is now more than
three times what it was in 1860, and that
the United States possesses almost as
much energy as Great Britain, Germany
and France collectively, and the ratio
| falling To each American is more than
what two Englishmen or Germans have
al their disposal.
| He points out by a careful comparison
| between the conditions in these different
| countries that an ordinary farm hand in
| the United States raises as much grain as
three in England, four in France, five in
Germany, or six III Austria. One man IN
| America can produce as much flour as
will iced two hundred and fifty, whereas
| in europe one man leeds only thirty
| persons
Mr.. Mulhall calls especial attention to
| the fact that the Intellectual power Of the
great republic is in harmony with the
lud ustrial and mechanical, 81 per cent. OF
the total population over eight years of
age being able to read and write. "It
may be fearlessly asserted" said he,
s.that in the history of the human race
! no nation ever before possessed Al ,000, 900
| instructed citizens"
| The writer sets forth in regard TO the
| growth Of the wealth of the United States
that the average annual increment from
| ISL to 1890 was 90l milliards of dollars.
which sum is one milliard over the total
wealth of Great Britain. In classifying
| the whole wealth OF the Union, under
| the heads OF urban and rural, he finds
that rural agricultural wealth has only
quadrupied in forty years, while urban
wealth has multiplied sixteen-fold. In
an important series of figures it is shown
that the rise in wealth and the increase of
wages came almost hand in hand.
| In dealing with the development of
farm values. Mr.. Mulhal1 makes the fol-
| lowing statement: IF The United States
had no urban population or industries
whatever, the advance of agricultural in
terestS would be enough to claim the ad
misation OF mankind, for it has no paral-
| lei in hiStOry.o
