The following address was issued by
General Conner to the officers and men of
the National Guard upon his retirement
from office:
Upon severing my connection with the
National Guard, after a service of four
years and more with it, desire to ex-
press my deep sense of the honor of being
thus associated with you and my warm
appreciation of your loyalty and support
in all my official relations with you and
of the regard and sympathy towards me
personally that you have so generously
manifested.
1 believe that the National Guard OF
the State of Maine takes rank with the
best State organizations, and that the
universally recognized improvement it
has made in recent years warrants the
inference that it may become distin-
guished corps of the great army of organ
lied citizen soldiers of the country.
shall always look back with pleasure
upon the period of my connection with
the Guard and shall maintain my inter
est in its fortunes. No one will more re
Joice in the advancement and triunphs
which / believe the future has in store
for you. SELDEN CONNER,

KILLED BY HIS BABY BROTHER.
An Amesbury, Mass, Tragedy Which the
Authorities Are Investigating.

Amesbury, Mass. May I7.-Dr. Cooper,
secretary of the Board of Health, was
notified today of remarkable fatality
which occurred here Wednesday night;
when Fred Hamet, the four year old son
of Napoleon Hamet, died, as the result of
a blow from an axe, delivered by his two
year-old brother.
The boys, while playing, got hold of an
axe in their father s@yard, and the young
est picked it up. In doing SO he in some
way hit his brother, who was kneeling
ON the ground alongside. The axe struck
him in the head causing, 1t is thought,
conclusion of the brain.
The parents of the children did not re-
port the affair, but today the authorities
heard that the child had died and was
buried yesterday. Medical Examiner
Hurd of Newburyport will probably be
requested to come here and investigate
the circumstances of the case. The body
will be exhumed, if necessary, although
little can be done in the matter owing to
the youth of the child, Indirectly respon-
sible for the death of his brother.
Napoleon Hamet, the father of the
children, is o French Canadian, and is a
woodchopper. The family consists of
Hamet, his wife and six children.

ONCE HAD UNTOLD WEALTH.
winthrop Wanderer Returns to Town
After Long Absence.

Winthrop, May 7.-Thomas Coffin, an
eccentric character, who lived in Win
throp in 1884, where he maintained an
elegant house and made big spread gen.
orally, returned here suddenly on Mon
day.
| He had many eccentricities and many
are the stories told about him. In 1884 he
was reputed to be worth $3.50, 900, and re-
| liable citizens assert that at different
times they have seen him with money in
his possession amounting from SIS, 600 to
| SS4, 900 at time.
| He had been seen to cast a grip contain
| ing large. sum into the stable, with an
| imprecation about it. He was extremely
prodigal with his money. He built a
magnificent stable and laid out beautiful
and broad lawns, kept retinue of male
and female servants and lived in great
style.
How he acquired his wealth has always
been mystery, for although endowed
with considerable native shrewdness,
the acquisition of SO large a sum was
looked upon with suspicious eyes, but he
lived well and paid well for everything
hetgot
He did not stay in Winthrop a great
length of time, but sought fairer fields
Nothing was heard of him for years, till
last Sunday morning, when an emaciated
tramp, clad in battered garments, left the
midnight freight train and sought shelter
at the house of which he had formerly
been the proprietor. He was Tom Coffin.
He said he had been all over the country
and he showed it. With cheeks sunken,
and with his once athletic frame racked
with the exposure to which he had been
subjected, he presented dilapidated
spectacle of his former self.
When he was creating such a stir here
in 'S4h he had horse which in some way
displeased him, and he was not appeased
till he had had this animal worth $3.50,
taken out and shot, against the protesta-
tt ons of his friends.
At another time he ordered a valuable
carriage to be cut into four-inch pieces.
Once he bought suit of clothes costing
him SIS. Something we MT wrong, and
he cast them into the furnace, and into
the same furnace went the old and worth
less garments of Tom Coffin last Monday
morning.
He went to Augusta in .the morning
with former friend, but made his reap
pearance Tuesday with stable team
from that place, and put up at the hotel.
When he went away from here he is said
to have had % cents in change, and that
represented the sum total Of his wealth;
but Wednesday morning to clap the
climax of surprise, he appeared with a
roll of bills containing between S4O0 and
$500. Where this amount was obtained by
Coffin cannot be learned here.
