Bran Convicted.

The Herbert Fuller case is remarkable
one and has been followed with great in
terest, especially by sea -faring people. 1t
has brought out various and conflicting
opinions. Suspicion has pointed to Bran to
Brown, and even to Monks, the passenger.
1t is SO difficult to find plausible motive
for the triple murder that many thought it
the deed of an insane man, and Brown S
previous record seemed to point to him as
the murderer. Bram's cool manner and
straight story on the witness stand in
duced some to believe him innocent
while others regarded his display of nerve
as just what would be expected of the
man who could commit wholesale muir
der. There was conflicting testimony as
to whether a man standing with both
hands on the wheel could see into the cab
in Experts testified that under existing
conditions the Fuller's wheel could have
been left dashed for from five to fifteen
minutes, and even longer, without caus-
ing the vessel to deviate perceptibly from
her course. Many of our Belfast and
Searsport captains, and others, dissent
from this. One sea- farer asks why Bran
remained between the main and mizzen
masts during his watch, and says his
place was aft, where he could glance at the
compass occasionally to see that the yes
sci was kept on her course. Others say
that this practice is not always followed
at sea, but is necessary on coastwise voy-
ages when slight deviation from the
course might result in disaster. At sea
the position is taken each fair day.
Brown conduct was peculiar, to say the
least. Although he had seen one of the
murders committed he made no outcry,
remained at the wheel, and did not speak
of what he had seen until some time after
Most men would have left the wheel and
gone forward to alarm the crew-for self
protection if nothing more. Yet he not only
remained at the wheel but later allowed
himself to be placed in irons without men
tioning what he had seen. This gives rise
to a suspicion that there may have been
an understanding between Brown and
Bran. Monks conduct was peculiar, but
is readily accounted for by the novelty
aud horror of his situation and surround
ings Few men of his age could have re-
tanned their mental equilibrium under
such circumstances. The one man on
board who did not lose his nerve was the
colored steward. He assumed the duties
that properly belonged to the mate after
the death of Capt. Nash. and took charge
of the vessel, and had calculated the
amount of salvage he might receive.
The verdict against Bran was some
thing of surprise, for while few enter
tanned any doubts as to his guilt many
who have followed the trial closely do not
think the evidence was sufficient to war
rant conviction. But the jury which heard
the evidence was in much better position
to estimate its value and they stood from
the first to and II to for conviction.
The counsel for the defence has been al
lowed two weeks in which to file excep-
tons, the Government another week in
which to examine the same, and then will
follow the arguments, after which the
Court will decide whether a new trial
should be granted.

Gen. BOynton puts in a rather large
claim for distinction in behalf OF the late
Editor McCullagh when he credits him
with organizing and carrying through the
movement in the Philadelphia convention
OF 1o72, by which the denomination of
Schuyler Colfax for Vice President was
defeated, and Henry Wilson put on the
ticket with Grant instead. There is a
popular impression in Massachusetts that
Henry Wilson himself played the leading
hand in that movement. Boston Herald.

In another column a neighbor and
friend pays merted tribute to the late
Barnabas NJ. Roberts of Stockton Springs.
MI. Roberts was widely known and every
where respected for his sterling qualities
and unqUestioned abilities. From 1856
10 1880 he was one of the most int1uen
tial men in this county and State, and he
made his influence felt on the right side
of every moral and political question. IL

years he had the respect and good will OF
all who had known him in his more active
days, and he will be greatly missed in the
town which had been his home for the
past FORTY years.

Obituary..

Mrs. Philena E. Shute died at her home in
Stockton Springs Dec. 18th, after lingering
| and painful illness Of five years duration,
during two years Of which she had been
| nearly blind. She was born in Prospect

| E. Griffin of Stockton Springs, Mr.. J. Hart
ford Blanchard of Portland. Oregon, and S.
| Veazie Blanchard of Camden, Maine. Mrs.
Shute was for many years member of the
| Universalist church and her daily life was
| such as to commend her to the highest re-
| gard of all who knew her. She was kind
to the poor and sick, and never allowed a
case of suffering, sickness Or want to go
unheeded. Her greatest enjoyment was in
doing good for others, and through long
and active life she found frequent and
ample opportunity for good deeds. In her
family she was ever devoted to the interests
of those near and dear to her; in the CON-
munity she was beloved for her ever kind
disposition and warm hearted charity. The

| Henry g. Chandler passed away at his

several weeks. TIE last II hours he was UNI
conscious and passed away in that condition
Mr.. Chandler was born in Montvllle aud

THE GENERAL REPORT of rain
throughout the Islands has relieved
Stockholders of heavy load of care
Just how long this relief will last is
another matter, and they should be
prepared for a recurrence of the recent
dry weather and not follow in the
footsteps of the man who owned a
house with a leaky roof and permitted
it to remain go, giving as a reason that
in dry weather no repairs were needed
and when wet weather set in he could
not mend it.
The superiority of the AERMOTOR
over all other windmills is now uni
versally admitted We are not going
to say a word about them, however, be-
cause we believe in the old saying:
"By their fruit shall We know them, -
and any one who has seen one of them
at work will appreciate their value.
All we have to say is that we have a
new shipment of them in all sizes, i.e.:
8, 10, u and 16 feet, both geared and
for pumping.
With the geared Aermotor you can
lift water, grind corn, cut cane tops
and run a lathe.
We have also Aermotor Stock Tanks.
These Tanks never leak, and there are
no mud-holes around them. They
ship nested, and are just as sure to
drive the wooden tank out of existence
as the Aermotor was sure to drive the
wooden windmill out at its advent.
There are many reasons why this gal
vanized Tank is superior. 1t is light,
ships nested, is easy to handle, requires
no setting up, never leaks and does
not dry and fall down if all the water
gets out of it; but, of course, where the
Aermotor is used, this need never hap
pen, as it runs with so little wind that
dry tank is hardly known. These
Tanks are feet in length, width 80
inches, and capacity barrels.
We have just sent dozen of them to
Honolulu and Kahuku Ranches.
For pumping we have the Gould &
Krough Triple-Action Pumps in all
sizes, and the Aermotor Siphon, Suct-
ton and Force Pump, exceedingly
strong and heavy, and admitted
throughout the United States to be the
beau ideal" of pump.
