OBITUARY..
Captain Cyrus F. Moulton.

Captain Cyrus f. Moulton, one of the
leading citizens of Scarboro, died yester-
day in Lyman. Captain Moulton had
gone to Lyman for brief visit, and was
taken sick with pneumonia. He was
seventy -one years of age, having been
born in Scarboro December 90 1923. He
resided at home until the age of twenty
when he went on board a sailing vessel,
the brig Elmira, on which he made three
voyages. He was soon promoted to cap
tain's berth, and followed the sea
eighteen years, principally engaged in
the West India trade but making trips
to England, Spain, Holland and South
America. Mr.. Moulton has been DEM
ocrat of long standing in Scarboor. In
1857 that party sent him to the legisla-
ture; in 1862 they elected him collector of
taxes and again in 1858. In 1872 he was
third time elected to that office. In
1878 he was elected town treasurer, and
held the Office for long time.
In 1850 Capt. Moulton married Olive
M. Foss, of Saco. Five children We're
born to them, Frank f., Gratia, Alice j.,
Albion F., and Hattie A. Mrs. Mouiton
died about year ago in Portland
Captain Moulton will be buried at 2. 80
p. m. Sunday from the Dunstan Cor
ner church, Scarboro.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Lewis Case Suggests Doubt as to the Con-
stitutionality of Recent Law.

1t is, perhaps, no violation of confidence
to state that at the discussion of the
hewis case by tho judges of the law court,
objections were made against the consti-
tutionality of the law which empowers
three justices to set aside the verdict in a
murder case. The learned chief Justice
in the early part of the hearing said, in
open court, that the exceptions and the
motion stood upon different footing, if
the law was constitutional.
EHad the court considered the motion
for new trial, and three of the judges
been in favor of granting new trial, the
question of the power of the Legislature
to enact that a minority of the court can
overrrule the majority would have been
very prominent
AS it was Lewis case was decided on
the exceptions made to the judges
charge This required majority, and a
majority SO voted.
But If the court had decided not to set
aside on these exceptions, and had passed
to the consideration of the motion for a
new trial on the ground that the verdict
was against evidence, then the recent
law allowing thee justices to set aside a
murder verdict, would have been opera
tive.
Although it didEnot come up in the
Lewis case, this question of constitutions
ality will probably come up some time.

CAPT. DAILY IN TOWN.
The Famous Swimmer and Life Saver
Visits Portland.

Capt W. F. Daily, the famous swim
mer and life saver, was in town yester-
day, and chatted pleasantly with the
PRESS representative. Capt. Daily is
one Of the most famous aquatic athletes
in the country. He has just come from
Poland Springs, where he has been lee
turing and giving exhibitions of his skill
in the lake. One of hisaspecial feats is to
allow himself to be securely tied hand
and foot and then thrown into deep
water, when he manages to swim ashore.
Poland society turned out en- masse to
see him, and over 800 people walked
down to the lake and enjoyed the sport.
The Captain is very much delighted with
Poland and it's surroundings. He wears
a medal for gallantry in saving people
from drowning. He expects to instruct
a class of the 400 at Poland.
