Death Of Mrs. woodberry.

The many friends of Mrs. M. M.
Woodbury. in this community were
panied to hear last Friday afternoon
that she had passed away at the home
of her brother, VIM. Munroe, where
she has been visiting for upwards of a
year in hopes that the change of eli
mate might benefit her failing health.
Mrs. Woodbury. had been an invalid
for number of years, although for
several months prior to her death,
hopes were entertained that the pure
air of North Dakota would permanent
ly restore to her the health of her
youth. During her stay in the city she
had endeared herself to all who knew
her, aud took great interest in So
cial and society matters, and by her
death has passed away cultivated
lady, treating all whom she met with a
kindness and courtesy which made all
her friends. Several times during the
past few weeks she was considered at
the point of death, but owing to her re-
markable vitality appeared to be given
a new lease of life. During the last
week of her life, however. she grew
weaker, and although DR.. Donovan
and number of friends did al
possible to alleviate her suffering the
end grew nearer; retaining conscious
ness Up to the last minute, going to
greet her husband who had proceeded
her twenty years before. Her loss will
be deeply felt and mourned by all who
knew her, but will be most deeply felt
by her aged father at Granite Falls,
MIMI, whose feeble health and adj
vanced age made it impossible for him
to attend the last sad rites; also her
brother, VIM. Munroe, of this city, who
watched with solicitous care and gen.
erous forethought at the sick bed dur
ing the weary journey of life's ftful
fever. May the sorrowing relatives
be comforted with the thought that
death is not,an eternal sleep, but that
the loved one may be- met on the
sunny shores Of the great beyond where
all eternity of love may be spent I'M
alleged by pain and sorrow.

BY FALSE PRETENSES
DR.. Mabry Says Nahum Tozier OBJ
tanned Signature to Notes.
Makes Charges and Judge PhiIbro5k Binds
Tozier Over in $1,000.

Waterville, July s. - Especially An
other chapter in the history of the famous
insolvency case of Nahum Tozier of Fair
field Center, was made by hearing in
the municipal court, Monday. This was
a case Of State VS.. Tozier, on the charge
of obtaining signature on note for the
purpose of obtaining money under false
pretences.
The complaint was made by DIR G. S.
Mabry of North Vassalboro and the evil
dence introduced went to show that some
time last year Mr.. Tozier borrowed 5000
at the Fairfield National Bank, giving
therefor his note endorsed by DR.. Mabry.
This note was three times renewed, each
time with DIR. Mabry's name ON it.
Then some time in January, Mr.. Tozier
went to DR.. Mabry's house in North Vas
salboro and told him that the note at the
bank must be paid and said that he could
get the money on two $500 notes, one Of a
Waterville man andone of George Chap
man Of Fairfield. but both notes must be
endorsed by DIR. Mnhry.
This gentlemanseemed to be anxious
to bewell out of tie fix, but according to
the testimony which he gave, IN couyt,
Monday, Mr.. Tozicr assured Nm that
(Tozier) was worth 100000, mosags in real
estate, unencumbered in any way, and as
he considered Mr.. Tozier man of his
word, finally signed the notes.
Now it seems that Tozier only paid
5000 of the money he realized from those
notes, on the note at the Fairfield bank,
and DR. Mabry has been notified to meet
all three of them. Hon. S. 5. Brown con-
Quoted the case for the State, and Hon. f.
f. Goodwin for the respondent.
Judge Philbrook considered the evidence
sufficient for a jury trial, and Tozier was
held In the sum of $1,000 bonds to appear
at the September term of the superior
court at Augusta.

ucularly distressing in its details was
committed, this afternoon. by James

his little home for which he worked hard
and which he placed in his wife's name,
there are four motherless children, one a

go to work, today, as he desired to make
hay about his home on the outskirts OF

sired to repair fence and discussion over
some nails resulted. following which he
assaulted his wife, who was preg-
nant. She sank to the floor

He called che neighbors and started to

the police did not hear of the affair till
two hours later. They brought the doctors,

THE DEFENDER
Will Not Have Another Trial
Before Saturday.
Workmen Engaged in Putting on
Finishing Touches.
Information Still Withheld. But Sail Will Not
Greatly Exceed viglants.

Providence, K, l., July - The De
fender strained some strengthening
braces, yesterday, while on her second
trinl trip off the south end of Prudence
island. When she arrived Mt her anchorage
IN Bristol harbor 1t was discovered that
two steel pieces of piping boted from the
angle iron deck braces to tho bilgo brace
strlngers of anglo iron were bent and
twisted out of shape on account of tho
great strain they were subjected to In
carrying the sails. The pieces of steel
piping, rather stout, We're fastened I'm tho
range of the mast on both sides from the
middle of the deck to the bilge section.
The aluminium plates In that region did
not show any indication Of bending but
they must have sprung somewhat to cause
the steel braces To bend In the manner
they are at present Other braces of tho
same material will probably be put up In
the range of the mast in day or two.
The Defender was hauled into the
wharf, this morning and number of
men are now finishing her up inside. It
is likely that she will not have another
trial before Saturday, as the rigging will
be again set up this week.
All information regarding the sail area
OF the Defender has been and is carefully
guarded. Tho Journal Is able to give
figures regarding the mansail that go far
toward confirming the statement made
some time ago by Mr.. Isclin to the effect
that the Defenders sail area will not
greatly exceed that of the Nigilant.
The greatest increase IT, of course, In
the mainsail. The malbsail of tho Vigi-
liant measures about 300 square feet. Ao-
cording to the information obtained, which
Is believed to be in the main correct, the
Deiender's mainsail contains about $3.50
square feet
III the figures from the otbor side are
correct the sail is somewhat smaller than
that spread by the Valkyrie III, tho
challenger.

the national will as to what life should
| be.
| In conclusion, the hope was expressed
| that so noble system of general educa-
| ton, when studied and understood, would
rally to its support Catholics and Protest
ants alike which circumstance alone
would impart to it power for good which
| education has never had in any land or
| time
In conclusion the speaker said 'Sup-
pose there would be, from the Catholic
point of view certain loss in one way
| from joining in the order Of public educa-
ton we have set forth. The inoalcuIable,
| unthinkable gain that must come to the
great commonalty of our fellow men, in
which that church is by all its professions
principles and traditions, is interested
| would vastly more than make good such a
loss
"That church could not afford to stand
aloof from promising fundamentally
of general social advance l have no fear
that the church would venture to ignore
to such extent as that this welfare of her
children and our children Indeed the
benefits which perfected public educa-
ton would bring to the Roman Catholic
| church are to my mind so immense, that
should expect a good many Professionals
| TO object to the system, simply on that
account
II, for one, am not such Protestant,
and il the Roman Catholic church can
prosper by means that lift up our entire
humanity, that advance us all in the dig
nifty OF thinking beings that widen the
skirts of light and make the realms of
darkness narrower all over our land every
sincere Christian, whatever his name or
sign must rejoice
The enjoyment of the audience was
materially increased by vocal music by the
famous Temple Quartet of Boston More
members of the association have been ar
irving on the evening trains and 1t is
probable that tomorrow will see very
large attendance. President Walker of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
will be unable to be present, tomorrow
morning, but he has sent his paper and
that will be read by another.
President Gates of Amherst will not be
able to be present. by reason of sickness in
his family. His place on Tuesday evening,
will be taken by President b. L. Whit.

Are You Sure Your Company
