c. Loren Frost, Sick and Despondent,
Ends His Life.
Charles Loren Frost committed suicide
Sunday afternoon at his home at Reeds
Brook, by shooting. Frost had been in
poor health for some time, and believed
he was suffering with an incurable
disease. He was at times very despondent,
but on the afternoon OF the suicide ap-
peared in good spirits, though he COM
planned of feeling i'll.
Frost was unmarried, bat his mother,
Mrs. Polly Frost, and an unmarried sister
lived with him. On the afternoon of the
suicide, the sister had gone to the house of
a neighbor. Frost complained OF feeling
i'll, and his mother advised Elm to lie
down. He went to his bed-ro on the
second floor. A few minutes later Mrs.
Frost went to his room and found his
dead body on the floor. Being partially
deaf, she had not heard the report of the
rifle with which he shot himself.
Or. l.. w. HodgklnS and Coroner ID. l..
Fields, of Ellsworth, were summoned.
The body was found where it had fallen.
Frost had evidently placed the muzzle of
the rifle close against his forehead. The
entire top of his head was blown off and
the body and blood stained room made
sickening sight. Coroner Fields deemed
an inquest unnecessary.
Frost was a native of Nariaville, and
in the forty second year of his age. He
was brother of Jacob Frost, of Ellis
| worth.

A Smooth swindler.

Sey eial weeks ago the swindling
operations of an alleged travelling sales
man for the Royal Baking Powder Co.
was exposed IN various newspapers ef
the Northwest. 1t now transpires
that the swindler, under the name of
A. F. Miller, has been victimizing the
gFogerynlen of Oregon towns. IN this
state ne merely changed Ills name and
sold starch instead of baking powder.
In Albany he represented himself as
representing T. Kingsf,rd & Co, a well
known Eastern firm. He took orders
for his goods at yeEy low PRICES aud OF
course took many orders. He was u
smooth talker, and before leaving drew
on his alleged house for S75, and one of
his Gus; omers identified him at the
bank, endufBing il far iAin- Tue drs.f II
was returned as fraudulent aud the

ACCIDENTAL DROWNING.
Sad Death of Major Daniel S. Murphy

Mr.. S. W. Pierce, a packer employed
at W. L. Studley's fish house on Com
mercial wharf, was rowing across from
his home in South Portland yesterday
morning about $50 when he saw near
the cutter Woodbury. about 300 feet from
the Portland shore, the head of man
projecting out of the water. He at once
rowed to it and recognized it as the corpse
of Daniel S. Murphy, better known as
Major Murphy. He towed the body to
the shore and Immediately notified the
coroner and the body was removed to the
undertaking rooms of B. E. McDonough.
Major Murphy was seen on Tuesday
f. Trefethen, who was making up his
accounts in his office at the end of Com
mercial wharf. He saw some one pass the
window and looking out saw an old man
walking towards the end of the wharf
He recognized him and thought it queer
that he should be on the wharf SO late but
as he had been seen about the water front
considerably the matter passed from Mr..
Trefethen's mind.
Mr.. johnson employed at A. G. Ster-
ling's fish house on Commercial wharf
saw Mr.. Murphy and talked with him
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Murphy pulled
roll of bills out of his pocket and joking
ly said: "The boys think have not got
any money, but they don't know - There
appeared to be quite little sum in the
roll.
The theory of assault with the intention
of robbery was advanced by some yester-
day morning as Mr.. Murphy is said to
have exhibited his money to several per-
SONS. The most probable theory however,
is that he walked off the end of the wharf
in the darkness and, unable to make him
self heard, was drowned. The body when
found was floating in nearly upright
position.
The deceased was in the sixty-fifth year
of his age. He was born at Newport, r.
l., and there he lived until % years ago,
when he came to Portland to pass the re-
mainder of his days. He had been skill
full carpenter and did successful bust
ness in that line in Newport. After Mr..
trade for number of years. He boarded
with family in the city during the
winter, but in the summer went down to
Long island to live. There he was known
by everybody and nearly all of the island
ers called him tMajor"-as he had been
drum major-by which title he had come
to be quite generally known. he was
much interested in political affairs ana
several years ago represented for two
terms Ward in the common council His
wife has been long dead and he had also
lost all of his children.
One brother, John j. Murphy, has been
in the employ of the Portland Company
as machinist for the past thirty years.
