After an illness of nearly eight months
J. NJ. Arnold died at his residence on
Elm street, Friday morning at about 9
O'Clock, aged 81 years.
Mr.. Arnold was born in Readdeld,
February %, 1880. He came to Show
hogan in about 1862 and entered the
employ of the late Henry Frost, where
he learned the tailor's trade. Since
then, with the exception of a few
months passed in Massachusetts, he
has always resided in this town. A few
years ago he went into business at the
corner of Water and Russell streets,
opening a tailor's shop and periodical
store and continued there up to the
time of death. For several years prevl-
Gus to his illness last winter, he was in
terested with the late L. G. Heselton in
the management of Cobum Hall.
Mr.. Arnold was an honest, upright
man. of genial, happy disposition, one
whom it was a pleasure to meet and
talk with, and his death will be sincere
ly mourned by his large number of
friends and aequaint lie leaves a
widow.
The funeral occurred Sunday after
noon, conducted by Rev. {. V, Hanson.
Mr.. Arnold was one of the oldest mem
beers of Carrabassett lodge l. O. o. f.
and that organization attended the ser
vices in body The interment was in
the cemetery ON the north side.

The Canaan--Clinton Gang.

Sheriff E. 2. Viles on Friday last
made a raid upon the premises of Foster
Nelson in Clinton, accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff McNally of Clinton, and
j. II. McCone. He succeeded in captur-
ing the somewhat notorious Nelson
about IL mile away where he was at
work in field and brought him to his
house, but, while searching the premi-
SEES, left Nelson temporarily i'll the
custody of Deputy Sheriff McNally from
whom he succeeded in escaping and
took to the woods. A number of arti-
Giles were captured in Nelson's house
which were identified by various per
sons from whom they had been stolen.
Mrs. Nelson was put under arrest aud
brought to Skowhegan, and subsequent
ly Deputy Sheriff McNally arrested
William H. Kelley, an accompliee of
Nelson, and brought him here and they
were brought before Trial Justice o. K.
Bachelor, Saturday morning. c. o.
Small, Esq, appeared for the State.
Kelley was arraigned on the charge of
larceny and pleaded guilty. He was
held in the sum of $500. We learn that
Mrs. Nelson is to be arraigned in II
nebec county ON the charge of receiving
stolen property.
People in Canaan, West Pittsficld and
Clinton, are very much gratified that
this gang of thieves is broken up. They
will sleep better nights now.

"GreShanS Law"

Senator Geo. +. Hoar of Massachusetts
at reception rendered him on his re-
cent return from Europe thus refers to
the theory we'll known as "Gresham's
Law:
IF you have two metals which are
legal tender and in the course of time
one of them becomes little more valu-
able than the other, men who have debts
to pay or obligations to discharge take
the cheaper metal with which to do it
and the other metal goes to foreign
countries, where ii is of more value and
where it will pay debts which the CHEAP
er metal will not pay. This is known as
Grcsham's law, aud it is II law which an
intelligent boy of l. years old can easily
understand.
But if all the commercial nations of
the world are agreed on their standard.
the dearer metal has nowhere to GO
when they begin TO separate IA little, and
as nobody wants il while they can get
the cheaper to ply their debts with the
demand for the dearer metal diminishrs
and the value of the dearer metal dimin-
isles with the demand, and the demand
Of the cheaper metal increases, and its
value by the unfailiug law of such
things Increases and rises with the de-
mand, SO that the two metals are con.
stantly and inevitably brought together
again.
Now. in my judgment, our friends who
have been discussing this matter have
well pointed out that the establishment
of the policy of Mr.. Bryan and the
democratic platform must result newt
ably in establishing silver monometalism
in this country. And they have pointed
out the intinite shame, the infinite dis
honor, the infinite mischief, the infinite
disturbance which such a result would
bring with it.
