At the Eye and Ear Infimary yesterday
forenoon occurred the death of Clement
J. Ferguson, at the age of SO years. Mr..
Ferguson had been in failing health for
two years. and last Friday was removed
from the falmouth Hotel to the in
Urinary
He will be remembered by all Portland
citizens as the stout gentleman of large
build and intellectual countenance who
was accustomed to walk about the
streets good deal with military car
riage and gait, swinging his cane and
frequently coming to standstill and
gazing around and upward and then
proceeding, only to stop again.
Some ten or more.years ago Mr.. Fer
guson came to this city with his wife
who had been taken so seriously i'll while
on Journey that it was necessary to
stop here and secure medical attendance.
They took rooms at the Falmouth and
she was ill there for several years
In this way Mr.. Ferguson became a
frequent visitor and latterly almost a
permanent resident of this city. He had
a fine summer residence at Intervale, N.
H.
Mr.. Ferguson was New York man and
a gentleman of wealth and culture, OF
wide learning and much experience in
travelling. He was charming conyer-
sationalist and always liked to talk about
Samuel j. Tilden, of whom he had been
on intimate acquaintance. He had
done a great deal of literary work in the
way of contributions to magazines and
periodicals. He was much esteemed by
Portland peope who enjoyed his acquain-
tance.
He leaves a widow and step da ugher,
Miss Van Bockelen.

The empress of Austria is making col

The young czarina now speaks Russian
very well. She has a decided talent fo1

vention The Boston Christian Endeavor

CoURTING CUT SHORT.
Uncle Sans Officers Made 1t Very I'm
pleasant for Farm!ngton Man.

Pennington, November 90 The crimi-
nal sensation of the week has been the
arrest of William W. Smith of this town
at Liyermore Falls by Deputy United
States Marshal Edward H. Emery of
Portland for violation of the internal
revenue laws in the sale of intoxicating
liquors without the payment of the
United States tax.
Something of a romance surrounded
the apprehension of Smith by Deputy
Marshal Emery. Smith has of late been
paying marked attentions to Farming
ton widow, who had but just returned
from visiting him at Liyermore Falls,
accompanied by her son on the very day
that the deputy marshal arrived in Farm
ington for the purpose of effeoting hi
arrest The deputy marshal obtained the
assistance of ex- Deputy Sheriff Nelson
Gould of Pennington, who visited the
widows family sand there secured the
information as to Smiths exact where
atouts without speoting for what purpose
it was to be used.
Smith but lately concluded serving a
sentence in Pennington Jail for violation
Of the state laws in the sale of liquor,
and is now beginning his second sentence
at Alfred Jail to which he was committed
Dy order of U. S. District Judge Webb,
Smiths release from Pennington Jail
was effected in most unusal manner,
and by the ruling Of Chief Justice Peters
on point never before brought to Uhe
attention Of the supreme court He had
been tried at the same time on two
charges that of selling liquor and assault
and battery, under two warrants, and hao
been sentenced by Judge Chandler to pay

of the fines to serve 8 days in Farming.
ton Jail on each charge After he had
served 80 days for the offense the mittti
mus which had been held back for the
expiration of the first sentence was
served for the second, and he began serv'
| ing his next 80 days, but he was taken
from custody of Jailor Dyer by writ OF
habeas corpus drawn by his counsel,
Henry L. Whitcomb, ESQ.,, Of Farming
| ton, and was released by order OF Chez
Justice Peters after careful hearing II
which County Attorney Elmer r.. R1oh
ards appeared for the state. CHIEF justice
Peters ruled that mis- two jail sentences
had run concurrently, and that in livinl

THE PORTLAND WHEEL CLUB.
Its Annual Banquet Last Evening-inter-
esting Remarks by Prominent Cychsts-
Mr.. S. b. PHI Hips Elected President-A
Very Successful Occasion.

The Portland Wheel club seems to have
a lien on the fountain of perpetual youth.
The annual banquet, held last evening
at the Preble House, was one of the most
interesting occasio ms in the club history.
Thirty-two members and invited guests
were present After discussing the ex-
cellent menu provided, Vice President
Elwell introduced the newly elected pres
ident, Mr.. Sylvan B. Phillips who acted
as toastmaster for the evening
President Phillips read letter of re-
gret from Chief Consul elect Hichborn
of Augusta, of the Maine Division, L.
o. W., and introduced as his represen-
-tatiye, Mr.. Ewing Hamlin of Augusta
!, Mr.. Hamlin apostrophized the good
roads movement, described the ease with
which any bill supposedly against the
farming interest is 'ekilled' the Maine
Legislature. and urged policy OF eouc a.
tion andsconciliation.
Ex-Chief Consul Marret.5 was intro
duced and pointed out that the increased
grow tn of cycling had given rise to
grave questions of road etiquette. Mr..
Marrett reviewed the recent Bangor
Moore case and seemed to see victory in
apparent defeat.
Mr.. John Calvin Stevens also confined
his remarks to road laws and made many
valuable suggestions.
Mr.. Frank A. Elwell, who sorrowful-
" called himself "the last leaf on the
tree,' recalledss the haloyon days of the
past when wheelmen wore absurdly tight
clothes on very attenuated forms. Mr..
Elwen paid glowing tribute to Anne
ric an cycling club life, and related many
stories of European cycling tours in
proof Of domestic superiority. Good roads
are just as possible in Maine as anywhere
else. The talk about the deteriotating
influence of frost, etc., was veriesS bosh.
The speaker had soen roads in the
Alps and Switzerland which were GER
tainly subjected to as severe weather as
any.
Mr. George E. Dow also related some
European experiences The newly elect
ed officers all thanked the club ''for the
honor conferred upon them" and the
party adjourned to the club rooms

New York, November Ex-senator
John sherman was interviewed at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel today. A reporter
asked the Senator if he had read the
st orv in which it is said Mr.. Harrison s
friends would ask him say whether he
was candidate for reelection, and the
Senator replied "No, but l certainly
think he should answer whether he is
n candidate. 1t would be much better
for him imagine l do not think he
is very popular with the people. In Ohio,
Mr.. Harrison cannot be said 60 be very
nopular. Even when he ran the first
time. his own state went against him. -
The senator turned his attention to
Secretary Carlisle's speech at the Cham
ber of Commerce banquet last night.
The basic error of the speech, he main
tains. was the Secretary's idea that
legal tenderism could be done away with
entirely. 1t could not be done. The
Senator said great mistake was in the
way the Democratic administration
tampered with the gold reserve, 1t
should have issued short bonds OF
five years durat1on Wnlon people nefe
would have taken up quickly at 3 per
cent. and with this pay the expenses Of
the goynerment without touching the
gold reserve. These short bonds would
have been paid for in legal tender notes.
In stead of poing this the administration
permitted the bankers to clear 81, 900, 900
BY selling bonds for good at 4 per cent.
Mr. Carlisle's plan proposed last night,
the Senator considered impracticable.
I.s,u. .l-1 "A
would not be said, in order to have
currency to take gold out of the United
States Treasury and scatter it around
these hanks to redeem in money issued
by these banks. The Senator said when
it came to the issue in regard to money,
he thought the East would be against
the West irrespective of party.
AS long as Mr.. Cleveland was President
he said there would be no silver legis,
lation because he favored sound money.
The Senator thougt that the silver craze
was on the wane.

Boston, November 20.-Confined Within
the dark gray wal Is of the State Prison
! at Charlestown, William Barrett has now
nearly served the first year of the life
sentence given hinl by the court in No
yember, 1894, for th e murder OF Consta-
bile James Farrar of Weston on the morn
ing of the 18th of NJ ~. preceding.
At the time the sentence was passed
which to ask fors new trial, which
DE- rvilege expires wi th the next week.
When Barrett WI rs first sentenced he
aptiounced his i'll 5ention to ask for a
new trial but there was this serious OBJ
ject. ion to acting hastily. Ii he was
gran ted a new tr ial. would he fare as
well in the end9 b lrrett knew that near.
ly every one fam iliar with the facts OF
his crime would have willingly seen
him hanged. The thought of having tc
pass the remand er of his life behind
prisoll walls was not a pleasant one to
Barrett tt, and then the thought of rope
aro,,nl his neck was still more distaste-
full to him.
| Barr ett, howey er, thought that he
stood a good she wv Of being sentenced
for term of year s, and possibly might
have, before the present month expired,
asked for a new tri 81.
But. Just at this time most unfortu-
nate thing happeI led for Barrett in the
arrest of James s. Chaffey and his
subseruent disclosr tres. Previous to that
nothing whatever was positively known
co oncesrning Barret IT'S past life. No par
lticular burglary bad been laid at his
door, although, when arrested, 1T was
thought he was a / pd man generally.
At the time Of his arrest, and when
he was taken to til % Waltham police sta
| ton. complete outfit of burglars tools
was found upon ! him, and still no other
burglary than Il lat of the Weston house
could be brought against him.
1t is also an il tHereSting fact that just
nrevious to Barre dts arrest several resi-
dences in Lincoln had been broken into,
snd that after h is arrest these robheries
ceased The ARE st of Chaffey has caused
Barrett to abant Ion the idea OF petition
ing for a new tr fal.
He knows th; it more or less of his past
life has now be an brought out. .and that
it would weigh against him.
) As yet he $ undecided, and while he
is thinking thoroughly about a new
trial, the tirne for petitioning fer the
same is quietly slipping away day by
day. Barrett further thinks that his
chance for a pardon in few years, il
he decides to continue with his life sen
tence, has also greatly diminished witt
l,the events which have taken place il
the past month or six weeks. 1t is prob
able that Barrett will not ask, owing to
the present corldition Of affairs, for new
trial, while III is quite probable that hi
! would If it had not been for the arrest
l,of Chaffby and his disclosures.
