William 0. Avery died last Friday af- ternoon at his home on Church-st., being unable to rally from the attack of grip pneumonia which he experienced in Bos- ton a short time ago, while absent for treatment for stomach and heart troubles. He would have probably recovered from the attack of grip but for the other com plications.
 While still very i'll in Boston he ex- pressed a desire to be brought to his home, and, under the care of Dr. Nichols, he was placed on a special train and brought here. When it was learned that he suffered no ill effects from the journey his friends hop d that he would recover.
 MT. Avery began an eventful life in Groton 61 years ago. He was was one of 12 children, a son of Deacon Robert Aus tn Avery. When IF years of age he came to Stafford and commenced his business career, which also ended here. He commenced work at the Hydeville woolen mill, now owned by the Phoenix company. MT. Avery was we'll endowed with energy and brains, and rose rapidly in the business. He soon left Hydeville, to take more lucrative position as ove1- seer of weaving in the Springville mill at Rockville Later he was with the Hook anum company in the same town, also with the New England, where he held the position of superintendent and designer After leaving Rockville he was. employed by the Middlesex mills of Lowell, where he remained 16 years. Of the time that he was with the Middlesex mills he acted as superintendent eight years, and was then promoted to agent, with 0 salary of $10,O00 a year, which he held for eight years. So well pleased were the stock holders with MT. Avery's management that he and his wife were sent for three months trip abroad at about the time of his promotion to the position of agent. The trip was not entirely for pleasure, as MT. Avery during his absence selected the equipment for a new mill that the compa- ny was to build.
 He retired from the Middlesex company in 1882, and, accompanied by his wife and his son, who was in i'll health, decided to

NJ f. W. State Springs, Miss.-Dcar Ju-
nior: Among the moral excellences that
belong to mankind there never has been
a more admirable characteristic than be-
ing ones own natural self But tru" as
this is it is q noted fact that "since first
the fight OF years began" there have been
numbers Of people Who saw with other pco
pies eyes heard with other peoples ears
and thought % with other peoples minds.
This class Is not limited to any ase or
nationality, but widely scattered through
out the length and breadth of civilization.
Now, this is not the end for which an ON
niscfent God endowed us with intellect. In
the face of good sense and sound reason
we know that each one should think and
act for himself. OF course it is consistent
to profit by the examples of those wiser
than we and receive all the kindly coun-
sci offered us; but copying the ways of
others is simply absurd.
So cousins lets Go our own thinking. If
we should never become as wise or famous
as myriads of our predecessors. we can
at least win the honor Of being just our
selves In this connection allow me to say
that our page would be decidedly more at
tractive if it contained more Of the spice

 Judiciary to Hear Decree.

Chicago, July 29.-Decrees of sale of the Union Pacific railroad, under the foreclosure ,,z proceedings instituted against it by the United States, were passed upon by Judge Walter Sanborn in the United States court here today. There was no objection to the entrance of th= Anes-Dexter decree, and after a few sections had been read in the print sd copy of. the decree it was passed upon by the court.

MOBILES TRIO.

 glr 4chronicled Denied-Captured.

Mobile, Ala, July 29.-There Is no truth in the sensational special reports sent from Mobile and printed in many pa- pers throughout the country this morn ing. There was no desperate struggle for possession of Davis when the police arrested him. At no time during the night was q mob of 800 or 50 assembled at the. city ha1. No threats were made nor any attempts to take the prisoner from the city jail. Ii is not true the mil itia refused to obey their officers. Ev- cry member called upon responded promptly.
 4mJack Miller, the negro who shot and killed John Dantzler last night, and shot and. probably fatally wounded Police man Joseph Tucker in attempting to es- cape, was captured at Hurricane bayou on the Louisville and Nashville railroad by the section foreman and was brought to the city by two deputy sheriffs and lodged in jail this afternoon. There was no demonstration.
 | Two murders and probably three were committed here last night, but no lynch ings are probable. The victims were Thomas Jones, a confederate veteran Jack Dantzler, colored, and Policeman Tucker.

Bombay, July 29.--The editor of the newspaper Vaiashan. published at Poo nah, has been arrested and brought here on the charge of seditlon. Sirdar Bal lewantro Natu and Hurpant Muncheder Natur,, who were arrested yesterday on charge of disloyalty and escorted out side of the. limits of the Poonah collec- torate, have been deported under the act empowering the yicefoy to issue a war rant for the arrest and deportation with out trial of persons Known to be engaged in disloyal practices This power has not been exercised for many years. It was last employed during the vicerly- alty of Lord Dufferin, when Dhulop Sing was arrested at Alden when en route to stir up discord in the Punjaub in fur therance of plans formed during so- journ in Russia. Its employment has caused a great commotion among Euro peans and natives alike. It Is held that the hostility of the Natu family is said tospe due to the fact that ont of the Natu brothers was sentto the Poonah camp when afflicted with the plague along with the common caste.

The par ty, before it left, extracted a promise from MT. Porter, that the president would visit Burlington next Tuesday and review the troops at Fort Henry Allen and later attend reception in his honor at the home of MT. Cannon.
 The only other plans mad@ so far are review Of the Twenty regiment, United States infantry, and a reception by the officers at Plattsburg post to take place probably next Tuesday, then q trip by steamer next week to Isle La Mott as a guest of Senator Proctor and of the Vermont Game and Forestry com mission.

He will probably visit Baraboo before his return to Washington. It is his wish. however. to spend nest of the month of August IS quietly as he can at the Hotel Chanplain.
 All the cabinet officers will be here more or less during August and there will be informal cabinet meetings as oc- casion requires. Vice-President Hobart is expected next week.

THE BENHAM TRAGEDY
Revived by the Trial and Conviction of the Murderous usband at Batavia,
 Y.-Brief Resume of the Crime.

Batavia, N. r.. July 29-Howard C.. Benham, a young broker of this city, was today found guilty of murder in the first degree. Benham was remanded for sen- tence to Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, when it is probable that his counsel will make a motion for a new trial. Benham did no. seem to realize the full force of the situati at first. As he was leaving the court room it seemed to dawn upon him in all it's horrors. His face grew deathly wlhi.e, he tottered and see nea about to fall His attorneys gathered aboun him and walked with him out of the room.
 The Benham tragedy was connected with romantic elopf ment on April 12, 1892 with Miss Florence Tout an heiress and but 16 years of age. Howard c. Ben- ha m at that time wa s(cut 22 years of age. Mrs. Benham was taken suddenly i'll, and on June 6 she died. Benham gave out a stats ment that death was due to fheuma- tism of the heart Two days later, owing to various rumors, che coroner decided to hold an autopsy the result of which was a sta ton1ent that death was due to atrophy and degeneration of the muscular tissues. It became known hat Benham purchased prussie acid, and again Mrs. Benham's body was exhumed and the various organs removed for examina ton. As a result the coroner's jury returned a verdict that death was caused by hy- drogen acid administered by her husband. Benham was arrested and on June 2f placed on trial.
 As to the motive for the crime it was said that Benha m desired to be free from his wife not only aIhat he might inherit 900 which she was possessed Of but that he might marry young woman with whom he was said to be greatly In low
