Savannah, July S.-Early cables
from Liverpool this morning were
rather disappointing, showing an ad-
vance of only about 1-64 in futures in
futures in response to our improve
ment of yesterday. The failure Of
that market to develop a stronger un-
dertone at the start was doubtless due
to the rather threatening phase which
has recently developed in the Turkish
situation.

diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constltu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have q runbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it IS entirely closed, Deafness is
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever

OBITUARY..
Oliver ATurcll,


The many friends Of OIivsr Murch will
be panied to hear of his death, which &C.
Cured at his home in Baldwin, Wednes-
day of this week. Mr.. Murch was sixty
eight years of age and died of pneumonia
after short illness. leaving a wife, three
sons and one daughter as well as a multi
tude OF friends. who can hardly realize
the loss they have sustained.
He had held several town offices and
represented his district Of Baldwin and
Standish in the legislature of 1889.
Whether in position of trust ana re-
sponsibility or otherwise, his counsel and
advice was sought by hosts OF friends,
and many poor man will remember his
many deeds of kindness and charity.
which wero always performed without
ostentation. quietly, and in manner to
do the most good, and ofteu without the
knowledge of his most intimate friends.
He had experienced the pangs OF
poverty in his younger days and though
by dint of hard labor and prudent man.
agement he secured an abundance Of the
goods of this world. He never forgot the
necessities of the needy, and his latch
string might always be found on the out
side.
The true principles of Masonry were
never better exemplifed, than by the
daily life of Brother Murch. who was a
member of Gresnleaf lodge of Cornish.
TO say he will be arealy missed does
not fully express what we feel, for we
know of no one who can fill his place.
The funeral will take place at his late
residence on Saturday at two o'clock in
the afternoon.

The railroad oou missioners of Maine
with quite an array of legal lights ooou-
pied the north perlor of the West End
hotel yesterday afternoon. This parlor
has been the scene of many lively hear
ing before the railroad board, which has
held no small number of spicy not to say
sensational hearings during the year
past. Yesterdays hearing was lively
one, but did not possess any exciting
features.
1t had been supposed that the attorneys
of the Portland and Rochester railroad
would be heard on the matter of granting
and approving location for track
across the Marginal way with the
establishment of the necessary grade
crossings for the extension over the rails
of the electrics. This hearing was post
poned for week, however, as counsel
S. O. Perry for the Rochester, stated that
some parties representing the electric
road were desirious of being heard and
were not ready to proceed.
The board then heard the prayer of the
selectmeD of Old Orchard for the esta b.
llahment of new road at the foot of
Temple avenue, Ocean Park. crossing the
line of che Boston and Maine railroad.
George Z. Haley, ESQ.,, of Biddeford,
represented the town officers and Lindley
III. Webb the owners of Ocean park, who
also desire the new road and crossing
The Boston and Maine objected, through
Symonds, Snow and Cook, as did H.
Fairfield. ESQ, of Saco, representing land
owners in the vicinity.
The peculiar phase of this case is that
this crossing was once granted by the
board to the town, but it's officers failed
to comply with the statute by fling the
decision in the Supreme court, and the
permit became void
j. ". Fairfield appeared as counsel as
stated, and DIS witness for the road. His
objection was that sufficient crossing
now existed in the old 'Salt Road So
called. and believing the crossing would
involve closing that right of way, as the
road would bitterly fight two crossings
so near together, he and other land
O"-S PAo'OSooN sun hhouSIy esb dill oH-
croachment upon their rights and in
forests. They would contest the matter
in the courts if it became necessary.
Mr.. Snow in presenting the railroad q
remonstrance said the company would
oppose the maintenance of twoss crossings
SO near together as unnecessary to public
convenience, unnecessary expense and a
constant menace to life and property and
he called Assistant Manager Bart of the
Boston and Maine to testify that the road
averaged forty eight trains day during
the summer by the spot in question.
They did not wish to interferewith public
convenience at all, but believed the
present road adequate to all demands.
Their principle objection was against two
crossings as stated.
Measrs. Haley and Webb argued strong
ly that the public convenience required
the new road which they claimed would
vastly better serve the needs of the
| townspeople and visitors and claimed the
old "Salt Road" to be almost unused
and totally deficient in serving the gener-
al interests.
The board will announce its decision
later.

agreements now, so that no further
litigation W ill ensue.
