The town meeting called to act on the
question Of raising $1,000 for purchasing
stock Of the Oxford Central Electric
Railroad voted mo" on the proposition
by about 90 to 30. While the voters Of
the town refuse 1T present to raise the
money, we believe they would willingly
do so II they could be assured Of the
truth of the statements made In favor Of
the road. There was no one present
who had authority to guarantee the
fufilllment Of the promises, and 1t
seemed to the most OF the people clear

the issue will be presented to the town

MURDER OR WHAT!

RUMFoRD FALLS, Feb. 5.
Quite a sensation Is being stirred up at
Rumford Falls over what may be q seri-
Gus affair. But up TO the present time
nothing definite Is known.
Several Of our citizens while going
from the Falls side of the river TO Mex
leo over the railroad bridge on Monday
morning, discovered q large pool Of
blood, and between that and the railroad
bridge several other pools. Between
these pools something appeared to have
been dragged, and about one-third the
distance across the bridge. On the
bridge ties blood had caught and spat-
tered, as II naturally would be from
some one being dragged across them.
When about one-third the way across
the bridge the blood and marks entirely
disappeared. They disappear at point
directly over the swift current Of the
river. Ii Is reported that man who
usually carries quite sum Of money Is
missing, but for the truth Of the matter
we cannot vouch.
Whatever the outcome Of the affair
may prove to be, an investigation should
be had, and that at once, 80 that the
minds Of the people can be put at ease.
Ii Il reported that the blood has been
analysed and proves 10 be that Of q
human being. Your reporter Was there
tc-1ay, and found the mark still very
plain. IL is further reported that some
one e ~ chemical mill, stepping TO the
rear door, heard screams Of distress
coming from thAs direction on the night
Vhen the above Unopened.

HAVEN RUYs THE pENNISoN INTEREST.
The adjourned annual meeting OF the
Paris Manufacturing Company that was
10 be held last week, after a consults-
ton by the largest stockholders was
again adjourned for four weeks pending
q contemplated change in the ownership
OF a large amount OF the stock. Among
those present from out of town were
Hon. Josiah III. Drummond OF Portland,
Prentiss Cummings, Esq, OF Boston,
and l.. c. Bates Of New Haven, Conn.
The day after the consultation the In
formation ,wassmsde public that Mr.. l..
C.. Bates Of New Haven, Conn. had
purchased the entire interest OF Treasur-
er Harlan L. Denpison In the business.
Mr.. Bates was already one Of the larg-
est stockholders, and this deal prseti-
cally places about nine-tenths OF the
stock under the control OF him and his
friends.
Mr.. Bates Il another Of that great
family OF Oxford Bears" who have
gone out into the world 10 achieve more
than ordinary success. He was born 10
Sumner and went TO New Haven about
twenty years ago, where, by industry
and good business ability he has accum-
ulated handsome property In the prod
uce commission business. He is now az the
head Of the &C. Bates Company, one oil
the most prosperous and substantial
firms In New Haven.
Mr.. Bates Is an exceedingly unsssum-
ing man, and his large success has been
accomplished by business tact, pluck
and hard work. lie has for several wears
been interested in the success OF the
Paris Manufacturing Company, both as
a stakeholder and ss srelstive aud warm
personal friend Of Superintendent Henry
r. Morton, whose genius created this
great enterprise. and under whose skill
full guidance IL has reached its present
proportions.
The business Of the company the past
year has far exceeded any previous year,
and the large plant, when run 10 its full
est capacity, has been unsole TO nil the
orders received for its productions, con-
sfsting OF desks, bookcases, children
carts and sleds, folding chairs and tables,
step ladders. etc, and the factory at
South Paris Is the largest and most CON-
pletely equipped plant for the prodnc-
ton Of these goods liz the world. The
aim Of the management has always been
10 produce only the finest quality.
The business is Of great benefit TO
south Paris and the surrounding terri
tory. as Il consumes great quantity OF
lumber, and employs small army OF
skilled workmen, who make their homes
here, furnish consuming market for the
farmers produce, and, not by any mesns
least in importance, they are fine class
Of CITIZENS. who have the advancement
Of the best interests Of this community
