North Anson. June 80, (special). "
The body Of Micah w. Norton. who
died in the State prison at Thomaston.
yesterday. arrived here. tonight. on the
way to North New Portland. It will
be remembered that Norton was con-
victed of the murder OF his house
keeper, Ms. Ann Cooley. The crime
was committed on the 7th day of.April
1890, and excited great interest
throughout central Maine. as the ac-
-cused was very well known. The in
quest and preliminary examination OF
Norton lasted five days. He was held
for the action of the grand jury. and
was indicted at the September term OF
court Of that year. He was ably de-
Tended by then Senator S. ]. Walton OF
Skowhegan, and the late J. J. Parlin
of North Arson. The court room at
the trial was packed to suffocation for
10 days. The proceedings Of the trial
were published fully in the columns of
this paper at that time. Norton's coun-
gel offered a general denial, with the
suggestion Of suicide, but the past
character of the respondent. the bits
Of circumstantfal evidence. worked
against him even with men who were
trying a man on one particular charge
and not several. Norton was consid-
cred stealthily dangerous man in his
neighborhood, and justice seemed to
demand that he be not allowed to es-
cape punishment as he had done many
times before from charges of q Grimm
nal character that had been preferred
against him. The evidence, purely
circumstantial, was sufiicient to con-
vince the jury Of his guilt, and their
verdict was returned accordingly.
TAere are many people who do not be-
lieve that Norton was guilty Of the
murder of Mrs. Cooley. though they
admit that the State clearly proved
exclusive opportunity and motive =
Still they hold that q man may have q
motive and the opportunity ana not

PAID IN PENNIES,
But the Street Car Conductor Turin
ed the Joke on Them.

But the Street Car Conductor Turn
ed the Joke on Them.
Boston Herald.
They were five in number-ladies, evidently,
and they boarded an electric car at the Ire
mont house. Possibly they intended to have
little fun before going home, and as they
occupied nearly one-half of one side of the
car a merry twinkle cleaned in the eye of
each.
Then the conductor entered. This was the
signal for simultaneous movement of five
hands for five handbags. Five tightening
strings were loosened, five hands disappeared
into uncertain depths, and then five pocket
books came to sight
Five bags were closed and five silver pock-
etbook clasps snapped. Five nickels did not
appear. The first lady rendered five pennies,
and as she did so she smiled. No. lady
caught the infection and passed up five PEN
MES.
Then the smile of No. 1 was a grin.
No. did the same and five ladies laughed.
No. 4 was somewhat uplucky, and while she
poking numerous hairpins, ribbon sam
Piles and other bric-a-brac which every lady
carries in her pocketbook in search of change,
No. e1shed up her five pennies.
Finally. No had to give it up. Three
pennies was all that she could find, and she
meekly rendered a quarter. She received her
change Immediately. Every conductor is
pleased to receive pennies because they are
handy in making change on transfers. This
conductor did not forget it, but he thought
his opportunity had come, and without hest
tation he dumped the twenty pennies into her
them The laughter had ceased by this time.
No. 4 got real mad, and threatened to report
the conductor. He kindly gave his number,
sbut she refused to take it.

A Canny Clergyman.

Tid-Bits.
An amusing yarn is going round the stock
exchange and the press in connection with
the last settlement, and if it is not true it
ought to be- A country parson, it is reported,
wrote to Mr.. Barnato in terms something like
the following: Respected Sir-As the vicar
of -, my aim has always been investment.
and not speculation. When your bank came
out l regarded the shares an investment
and 1 purchased 400 at a. sinking my little
all in them-and great deal more. They have
now fallen to e., and / am undone. My par
ish 1 cannot face as bankrupt, and what am
1 to do? l throw myself on your mercy"
Mr.. Barnato, so the story goes, was deeply
moved by this touching appeal, and wrote
back that in the painful circumstances of the
case he would buy back from the clergyman
the 400 shares at f4-the price he had paid
for them. Immediately on receipt of this
generous reply the guileless country parson
at once wired to his brokers': BUY 400 Bar
nato banks at 2. and send round to Barnato
Brothers, who will give you four for them

Sir walter Really Worried.

Walter Besant in the London Queen.
Apart from the horrors and agonies inflicted
by war, the two things which have weighed
upon me most during the last week have been,
first, the certainty, if war should happen, of
losing all our American friends. OF course
should begin by saying that after the war
We should be exactly as we were before. We
should not! 1t would be impossible. The
ocean between US would be stained by our
blood. There would be memories of things
DONE things said, things written, which would
stand between us. MOI it would mean fare
well-farewell for hundred years-to friend
ship between Englishmen and Americans.
The next thing would be the havoc that war
would wreak upon our literature-it is now
rapidly becoming one-it would be disrupted

torn into two. Long after the war was over
the poetry, the fiction. the drama of each
country would be full of the war and it's great
deeds. OF course. there are a thousand other
considerations, but these, l say, have afflicted
me almost more than any other. Stay-there
is one other even more terrible. 1t is this:
the Americans, except the English. Which
ever country suffers defeat, 1t is quite certain
that the other country will strain every nerve
in order to renew the conflict and to produce
a different result. When brothers fight. there
can be no other end than that which Cain
taught the world-one must die.

China Building Railways.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Chinese gov
eminent has at length turned its attention
to the construction of railroads, and according
to United States Minister DENLY, has APP
pointed Chii-Ahen, provincial judge, to
superintend the building of a railroad from
Tien Tsin to Lu Kou bridge, eight miles west
Of Picking, which is as near the sacred pre-
cincts of royalty as Chinese etiquette will
permit the road to approach at present. The
cost of the seventy miles Of road is estimated
at 81 900 COO, and is to be finished in one year.
