THE GRAVE OF GOVERNOR KING.
1t is Like Moses, No Man Man Knoweth
Where 1t Is.

W. H. Mclaughlin. Of Soarboro, says
that the grave of Governor King, the
first governor of Maine, is in an old pas
ture in the town of Scarboro, and exact
ly where it is no one knows. The COVER
nor was buried about mile from the
stately house he built. and which still
stands. The pasture is now grown up TO
bushes, and the grave Of the first COVER
nor of Maine is entirely unmarked, and
there is nothing to distinguish it from
that of any other in the old pasture Mr..
Mclaughlin believes that it would be p
good thing for the State to do work
there is now no mem Der of the family of
the first chief magistrate to do, mark the
place in some appropriate way. Mr.
Mclaughlin is far from being sure that
it would be possible at this time to- dis
tinguish the grave of Governor King
from others, but there are but few
graves in what is now an abandoned
pasture and it would cost but little to in
some way mark the little graveyard
where he sleeps.

WESTBROOK.

Yesterday the case again sttheW estbroOk
Soda Company, was decided against the
company and the proprietor was find $50
snd costs on each warrant. The case was
appealed. The defendant had two adj
ditional witnesses in his behalf, a BROTH
er-in-law OF Girard, the states witness,
Mr.. Dandeau. and a cousin Of Girard's by
the name Of Gadreau. Both of these wit
nesses testified That Girard told them
that the beer he alleged he bought of
Quinby was purchased in Rochester. 1t
was also brought out that there had been
warrant sworn out against Girard, but
that this warrant had never been served
The defendants attorney attempted to
prove that this warrant was sworn out
by Constable Mariner and that Girard
was relieved of its consequences as re-
ward for his testifiying against the re-
spondent, but failed in this. All that was
brought out was the evidence of Rev. K.
}. Bragdon, who Monday testified that
Girard was to be relieved from prosecu-
ton on certain charge il he should tes-
tify against the defendant. Great inter-
est has been shown in this case by the
public and. the court room has been
crowded during its continuance. -.

| conferred the adoption degree on several
candidates last evening. This newly in
stituted tribe is having very healthy
growth.
One Of the aldermen has originated a
plan that will obviate the chief disad-
vantage of having lookup SO far re-
moved from the centre of the city as the
present one and will at the same time
relieve the city of the great expense of
| providing such an institution at some
central location. The plan is to connect
the city almsEouse by telephone with
some central point in each of the three
policemen's beats and provide the keeper
| with patrol wagon. Then when an ar
rest is made the officer can go to the
telephone call up the almshouse and have
| the 7'Black Maria" on the scene in a
short time. When the prisoner is wanted
for Trial he can by the same conveyance
he brought to the court house. As the
city almshouse is the only practicable
place where a lookup can be located.

stated that the proposition will he IL

MORE SHAW FAlLURESg
Two Newport Men and q Penobscot Coun-
ty Com missioner Slated by Their Credi-
tors in insolvency Court Monday, as tn
Result of the Shaw slump.

There. are more Shaw failures in Pc.
noscot cunty. That is, there are more
men than Elisha W. Shaw who have gone
down into the slough of insolvency.
through the endorsement of uncertain
paper.
On Monday afternoon, there were
filed at the Penobscot insolvency court
three petitions in insolvency from the
creditors of three well known men of the
county, Preston L. Bennett and Sanford
P. Judkins, of Newport, and W. ].
Leavitt, Of Plymouth.
These men were concerned directly in
the failure Of Elisha W. Shaw, of New
port. The East Pond Manufacturing
Co., was also slated as an insolvent, at
the instigation of the creditors.
The creditors Of these parties are stated
as the Waterville Trust & Safe Deposit
Co., the Peoples National bank, Of Wat
erville, and the Pittsfeld National bank.
The three gentlemen mentioned in the
petitions are we'll known, Mr.. Lea witt
being one of the commissioners Of PEN
obscot county. The amounts for which
they are involved are variously stated,
$40. 600 being the highest individual sum
and the collective amount being stated at
about $57, 600.

FIRE IN scARBoRo.
Farm Buildings of George A. Libby
Burned.

Tuesday the farm house and outbuild-
| ings of John A. Libby, i'll Scarboro,
were burned. The barn was located at
some distance from the house and was
saved. The loss will exceed IS, 600, and
there was no insurance.
Mr.. Libby was in Portland, and the
hired man was at work at some little
distance from the house, and Mrs. Libby
and her five small children were alone.
The fire caught on the roof of the IL
and spread rapidly. When w. Fl. Nc
Laughlin, one of the nearest neighbors
reached the house, he saw that it was
hopeless to try to save the building, the
flames having got too great Roadway. OF
course those who gathered were without
the slightest fire fighting appliances, and
all they could do was to save II portion
of the furniture, and such things as they
could get at in the outhouses.
Mr.. Libby was a thrifty farmer, and
had his stock of groceries for the winter
we'll in. He had four barrels of flour,
and about 1000 pounds Of pork and 200
bushels Of potatoes, seven tons of CAR
bages ready to be drawn in as soon as
there was. any snow; and in the wood
house he had 25 cords of wood out and
split. His entire crop of apples was on
hand. and there were many items that
went to swell the loss.
The house was built 80 years ago, and
was large and comfortable structure.
The wood shed was new, and the 81"
was added only a few months ago. The
house was well furnished. and with the
exception of the furniture in some of the
lower rooms everything was burned.
Mr.. Libby is hard working man. and
there is a feeling of sympathy for him
that is likely to take practical shape. 1t
1s remembered of him that when anoUher
farmer was burned out the first man to
60 to him was Mr.. Libby, and his team
was literally loaded with food for the
family. Yesterday morning W. +. Dresser,
started a subscription paper without con-
sulting Mr.. Libby. and headed it with
$40. A man took the paper through Scar
boro.yesterday, and Mr.. Dresser will to-
day ask some Of the Portland friends of
MIR. Libby to assist IN giving deserving
and industrious man a home oncs more.
Mr.. Libby had been insured. but bis policy
was cancelled about three months ago,
SO Mr.. Dresser said yesterday, the COM
pany in which he was insured having de-
cided not to take farm risks. It has been
growing harder and harder for farmers to
insure their buildings, until at this time
the premium is practically such as to pro-
hibit insurance in the case of the or
binary farmer. Mr.. Libby had very re-
GENTLY made marked Improvements on
his buildings at a considerable outlay,
and at no other time of the year would
the loss have been as great as at this time
when his crops were to go large an extent
unm.rketed.

A Funny Experience.

Two ladies in town near Portland,
had a somewhat funny ex perience In at
tempting to mercifully despatch an old
and sick cat, which they placed under
an inverted tub with chloroform
sufficient to dispose of half dozen vigro-
Gus animals. After waiting long slime
for the drug to take effect the tub was
carefully lifted. when out popped Pussie
and ran swiftly away. Tho good ladies
were amazed at the outcome, but on in
vestigation it was seen that there was a
wide crack in the floor, over which the
tub had been placed, furnishing all the
fresh air the patient needed to offset the
anaesthetic. The cat has since made a
comnlete RECOVERY.

DEERING.

The principal topic under discussion in
Deering yesterday was the damages
awarded by the county commissioners
on the widening of Forest avenue. The
opinion Of the public who were not per-
sonally interested in the awards were,
that with. possibly few exceptions, the
commissioners had been very just in the
amount Of damages awarded. A ma
jority of the people who have been award
ed damages will pro badly accept, while
the rest will probably contest their
claims.

A SAD LETTER.
Received by an Armenian Here-News of
the Murder of His Sister and Her Hus-
band by the Turks.

Last Monday an Armenian who works
at Winslow's pottery in Deering, received
a letter from brother in Armenia sta
ting that their sister had been killed by
the Turks in one of the general massa-
ores.
He hadn't heard from home before for
sometime, because the Turks had inter-
cepted all letters. How this one hap
pened TO get through he couldn't tell.
The Turks have inspired such a fear Of
their vigilant ferooity that he does not
wish his name to appear in connection
with this letter for fear of the remote
chance that the facts might reach the
Turks and arouse them to infiict their
barbarous punishment upon the writer Of
the letter, a translation of which is as
follows:
K, Dec. 2, 1895.
