DIED IN HIS sTATERooM.
Can't. William w. Snowman Stricken With
Apepicxy.

Captain William W. Snowman came
down from Boston ON the Bay State yes
terday evidently in his usual health. He
ate his dinner apparently with good relish
and then went as usual to his stateroom
requesting to be called at 4 p. m. When
the messenger knocked at the stateroom
door and received no answer he went In
an found Capt. Snowman lying On the
floor evidently in an apopletic fit. MT
Liscomb the treasurer OF the company
was Immediately notified and DR.. Swazey
was quickly on hand, but nothing could
be done and in few moments Capt
Snowman expired.
Capt. William w. Snowman was born
at Penobscot, September 81, 1880, and was
the son of Capt. Thomas and Sarah
(White) Snowman. When Capt. Snow
man was few years of age his parents
removed to Newburyport, Mass, and
there he received his education, graduate
ing at the high school at the age of IL
years. He was associated with his father
in the coasting trade for three years and
when q years old commanded coasting
vessel himself. He was II years in this
business chiefly between New England
ports, and the last three years of his con-
nection with the coasting trade COM
manded packet sailing between Port
Hand and Boston. In the spring of 1868
he Joined the Portland Steam Packet
company as second pilot position for
which he was we'll qualified, as he knew
every turn and shoal of the New England
coast. He was second pilot for 10 years
and was then promoted to first pilot and
when Capt. John Liscomb died in 1881
Capt. Snowman was made captain OF the
John Brooks. He has had charge of every
boat of the line at different times, except
the fremont. From the John Brooks he
succeeded to the command of the Portland
and later to his last charge, the elegant
Bay State.
Capt. Snowman was the Oldest captain
in point of service in the employ of the
steamship company and during these 30
years has been of duty only six weeks.
From his perfect knowledge of the coast
and his perfect vigilance he never met
with an accident and his long record has
been remarkably clear.
When he was % years old Capt. Sn ow-
man was united in marriage with Miss
Henrietta Purbeok Of Salem. Mass, who
died 20 years ago. He leaves an adopted
daughter, Alice, who resides in Boston
and has made his home with her for six

IN THE POLICE COURT.
The Cases of the Grain Thieves Dis
posed of.

Yesterday five boys, Charles W. Oleson,
Henry H. Clancy, Thomas Mulkern,
Francis LaRose and John Deetgen were
arraigned before Judge Robinson on
charges of having stolen on Saturday four
bushels of oats from Grand Trunk cars.
All of these lads pleaded guilty. The
parents of all except one were present in
court. Mr.. Hight, one of the attorneys of
the road appeared. He said that this was
the second time he had como to testify
against boys for stealing grain from the
cars On the first time he had simply
preferred the charge OF lettering against
the lads but this time the charge of
larceny had been made out. Mr.. Hig hit
said that the boys had been in the habit
of taking the grain and selling it. He
hoped he would be able to proc ure evil
dence against these dealers, who must be
knowing to the fact that the grain was
stolen.
Judge Robinson agreed with the coun-
sci for the Grand Trunk and hoped that
this class of people would be followed and
punished. 1t is high time that the prao-
tice should be stopped.
Young Olesen, LaRose and Deetgenr
who had never been arrested before, were
fined s. and one-ffth costs each, but these
fines were suspended on promise to do
better. The other two boys were not re-
leased Both5had been before the court be-
fore, CLANCY for intoxioation about year
ago. and Mulkern tor having broken into
q car about the same time.
The case of Henry Buckley was again
continued, this time to Wednesday morn
ing. Bail was ordered in the sum of 500
but sureties were not furnished.
The case against Martin Joyce, the boy
who was arrested the first Of the year on
the charge of larceny and which has since
been continued from month to month,
was at last disposed of. A party who had
become interested in the boy appeared
and informed the court that Joyce had
been behaving himself very well of late
and was quite sure that no more COM
plants would be made regarding his con-
duct in the future Upon these represen-
tations the court consented to suspend
sentence but gave the boy to understand
that If he was again brought in he would
be placed in the Reform soho oil.

work is specially intended would be kept
away. For this reason no person will be
admitted without ticket, and none but
housekeepers can obtain them, the tick

THE NOES REER

Bismarck died on Saturday evening last
at his castle near Friedrichsruhe. Details
Of the death are still difficult to obtain. ow-
ing to the familys indisposition to make
public events which they consider purely
private. Several accounts have been given,
each differing from the others. One has it
that the end came painlessly and quickly;
another, that there was a terrible death
struggle
The Berlin Nachrichten gives the fullest
details of the last days and death of Bis
marck. 1t says:
ION Tuesday evening an improvement
set in in the princes condition, in which
repeated changes for the worse had oc-
CURED since October last, and he was able
to appear at the table and take part in
the conversation, drinking champagne and
afterward smoking several pipes, which he
had not done lately.
His condition was so satisfactory that
DR.. Schweninger, after the prince had gone
to bed, left with the intention of returning
on Saturday. His condition was compare
lively satisfactory throughout Friday and

referring to Russian affairs. In the fore

His Last Words.

Recently, besides periods of unusual
mental clearness, the prince had had in
tervals Of drowsiness, falling into long.
sound and beneficial sleep, on awakening
from which he would be completely re-
freshed.
On Saturday evening grave symptoms
appeared. Death came easily and pain
lessly. Dr. Schweninger was able to some
extent to tighten the last moments, wiping
the mucous from the patients mouth and
enabling him to breathe more freely.
The last words Prince Bismarck uttered
were addressed to his daughter, Countess
Won Rantzau, who wiped the perspriation
from his forehead. They were, Thanks,
my child.
The whole family were assembled at
pr Schweninger. DR.. Chrysander and
baron and Baroness Merck were also pres
ent. AS no breathing movement or nuIse
was perceptible for three minutes DIR.
Schweninger declared quietly and simplv
that the prince was dead
Dr Schweninger telegraphed the news

The prince lies as he used to sleen in

Dr. Schweninger arrived at Friedrichsruhe

was driven furiously to the castle. WHARF

was that the prince was unconscious during
the last two hours. DR.. Schweninger was in

moments.
Flags at Half-Mast.
Berlin looks hardly different from its
wont, except that flags are at half-mast
