Frank Norris, aged eighteen years, was
hanged at Uniontown, Pa, yesterday
at 1:3O pm. for the murder two years
ago of Bernard Loker, farmer of Chest
nut Ridge, Just above Connellsville. The

hind him and shot him in the head. He
then ransacked the house, but only got S3S.
He was arrested the next day. The mur-
time showed any particular concern about

Levi Ross Mearns, ex-State Senator
from Cecil county and one of Ceclrs
most respected citizens, died last Friday
night at his home near Zion, after
lingering illness, in the seventy-first year
of his age. Mr.. Mearns had always been
identified with the democratic party in
this county, and in 1868 served as
member of the Legislature from Cecil. In
1881 he was elected Senator, and served
four years at Annapolis.
Mr.. Mearns was always classed as one
of the most strict members of the demo-
crat party, and warm friend OF Senator
German. But the corruption OF the
German ring and decadence of the party
in Maryland had become such, that Mr..
Mearns would not support his long time
political friend Senator German at the
last election. This is a most significant
instance of the disintegration of the old
parties. The disafection must steadily
increase and the strongest party men,
where honest independence exists will
fall away from the moribund old parties.
The deceased leaves a widow but no
children. He has two grand children.
He was the possessor of considerable
wealth. His funeral took place OIL We'd
nesday, his remains being buried i'll Rose
bank Cemetery at Calvert.

Elijah Kester.

Elijah Kester, of Rising Snn Cecil Co., Md,
died LIST mo. End, 1896, at the residence of his
nephew, VIM. Webster, 1926 Woodland Ave-, w.
Philada. He was born in Mt. Pleasant, Columbia

Joseph K. and Mary Kester. He was married to
Susanna Woolman, 4th mo. 9th, 1852, at Sixth st.

He went to Philadelphia in the fall of 1912 and

land and took up his abode there and commenced
farming in which occupation he continued up to

The deceased was devout Friend much at
tached to his meeting and regular attendant at
the same as long as he was able to go. Nothing
can be said or written in memorium that can add
one charm to the beautiful life just laid down. A
blessed privilege it was to visit him and witness
the sweet humility and quiet endurance which
characterized him through life, and remained in
such a remarkable degree to the close. His honest
upright life among his fellow-men during long
period of years clothed his character with inno-
cence and he carried upon his friendly and happy
countenance the impression of peace withins
The funeral took place on the 5th of LIST mo.
Joseph Powell, Joseph Maule. Joseph ELLINGTON
and Lukins Webster spoke words of comfort to the
family and friends s-smbled. Interment at
