All those compliments which the pop
OcTatc candidate paid early in the cam
paign to Bland and BOieS and the other
defeated aSpirantS for honors at the
Chicago convention seem to have
missed the mark. 1t will be remcm-
bercd that Bryan said that the nominal
ton came to him not because of any
individual merits. but because of the
peculiar combination of circumstances
ard that had 1t fallen to any one else
he would have been found battling for
them as earnestly and actively as he
would work for his own election. The
unmistakable purpose of all this was
tC spur these discarded leaders on To
take up the Bryan cause and become
leading actors in the campaign. The
fish. however, have failed to nibble.
Rlapd showed some disposition to lend
Il hand early in the season, but soon
dropped out of the procession. The
others never took the places assigned
them Their disappearance is certainly
suggestive ut least of doubts in the
prospects of the silver ticket.

The Newbury Tragedy.-John Evan

The Newbury Tragedy.-John Evans
was released from Chelsea Jail on Mon
day, the grand jury finding no bill
against him on the charge of the murder
of Joseph Eggleston. The particulars of
the sad affair are very nearly as follows:
On Monday morning, June 1st, about
eight O'Clock, John Evans, generally
called Young John" was going home
from the Wells River creamery, and when
about two miles from the village, on the
Boltonville road near the four corners,
stopped to talk with Charles Reid and
Hugh Boyce, who were building fence.
Joseph Eggleston came up behind and
ordered Evans out of the road, which is
very wide, when Evans replied that there
was plenty of room at the side. Egge-
ston called him liar, drove up beside
him and struck him several blows with
his whip on his head and face.
Both men jumped out, when Evans
knocked Eggleston down, and is said to
have kicked him.
When the young men interfered, Egge-
ston was senseless, and on being taken
to the nearest house was found to be
dead.
Evans made no attempt to escape,
even gave himself up, and was taken to
Chelsea Jail later. Upon the testimony
of Drs. Lee and Fletcher, who conducted
the autopsy, that the man died of heart
failure probably brought on by his vio-
lent temper, Evans was discharged.
Eggleston was about 49 years DID,
came from Groton some years ago, where
his mother is said to be living, and mar
ried the widow OF John McGinness, some
twenty years older than himself
He was considered a peaceable man,
but there had been trouble between the
men, the wife of Eggleston, woman of
violent passions, having her full share in
it. Evans is about 80, was once hard
drinker, was married and divorced, but
reformed year or two ago, joined the
Congregational church and tried to live
a sober life.
Most people think he did no more than
many would have done in self defense
under the circumstances, and it is said
that Eggleston had been drinking heavi-
ly within few days, and met his death
as the result of his own passions.
1t is sad affair any way; nothing OF
the kind has occurred in Newbury before
or since contractor was murdered in
1s47, when the Passumpsic railroad was
built.

NOTES OF THE GATHERING.

They are having quiet laugh over one
man who went to the caucus Tor the first
time in five years and then to his utter
astonishment found that he had voted
the A. P. A. ticket.
The Stickney boom was in healthy
condition Friday night, but for certain
reasons it was decided not to present
Mr.. Stickney's name at the caucus.
Though some members of the A. P. A.
wanted Speaker Stickney, the movement
to present his name at thecaucus started
wholly outside this society.
A bright red flyer was freely distributed
on the streets Saturday morning urging
all to attend the caucus to head off the
Stickney boom. While it had been de-
cided the night before not to present
Stickney's name, the flyer brought many
out to the caucus that had forgotten
about it.
