JOHN CAMBRIDGE WILCOX.
Death of the Postmaster at GuIIford.
Formerly Resident of BrnttI,boro.

The death OF John Cambridge Wilcox
occurred at his home in Guilford MONDAY
afternoon at 2:30, from general eXhaus-
ton. Mr.. Wilcox had been in falling
health some time, and Oh June 9 one toe
was amputated, and four weeks later part
OF the foot was removed. Death, however.
came from general exhaustion.
Mr. Wilcox was born in Halifax Feb. g.,
1919. He was the last survivor of five
girls and four boys born to Joshua and
Eunlce Wilcox. He had always been a
resident of Halifax, Guilford or Brattleboro,
with the exception of few years when he
was engaged in carrying on a dairy farm
IN Chauiauqua county, y. Y. He came
from there to Guilford Centre in 1874. and
to Brattleboro about year later.
lie was carpenter and worked a. that
trade in Brattleboro nearly 40 years. Five
years ago he bought the property known
as the Rodney Field stand in Guilford of
l. Is. Lamson and since then has run a
small store there and has been postmaster.
Mr. Wilcox was married three times.
lie leaves daughter and son by his first
marriage Mrs. j. II. Staples of York, Pa,
and I. w. Wilcox, the assistant postmas-
Ter IN Brattleboro; a daughter by the sec
ono marriage, Miss Cora Merrill of Shell
ourne Falls, Mass, and he is also surviv-
ed oy his third wife, who was Miss Jo-
sephlne A. Jewett of FoXboro, Mass.
MIR. Wilcox was an attendent at the Uni
versalist church in Brattleboro all the time
that he lived here. Rev. H. d. Maxwell
ofhciated at the funeral. There was a
prayer at the house in Gulford Wednesday
at l, and services at the Uniyersalist
church in this village at 2.
struck by "A O-Inch Shell.
Another letter has been received from
Ethan Hescock, dated at Santiago, July 3.
de describes the sinking of the Reina
Mercedes by the Texas and the Massa-
chusetts, and says of the Indiana: "We
could not fire for fear of hitting our own
SHIPS, but we kept steaming back and
forth in the rear of them, and ready to
render assistance if necessary. This posi-
ton brought us in range of the mortars in
the rear OF the western battery, and they
LOOK advantage of the fact. Quite a num-
Der OF shells went close and three or four
struck alongside. One nine-inch mortar
shell hit on the quarter deck and exploded
on the berth deck. No one was hurt, as
no one was stationed there during the ac-
ton. The rooms nearest were a
total wreck and there was some fire, but it
was easily put out. l thought the Span.
lsh ships gave in very easily, but when |
saw what nine-inch mortar shell can do
l don't wonder, for 10 six-pounder, and II
eight and l3-inch shot holes were counted
IN the hull of the Maria Teresa, not to
mention those that struck her upper
works"

"Who Cares for Abroad Pr

There has not been day. until with
In the last three months, that George
Hoadley did not express the unanimous
sentiment of his party, when. in reniy
to some one who was pleading for more
liberal terms for foreign trade. he de-
risively shouted: who cares for
abroad?" Not only has the Republican
party not ''cared for abroad. but it
has missed no opportunity to brsed
prejudice against everything and ey-
erybody foreign. 1t has twisted the
British lions tail' for the edification Of
its children, who, however were non
plussed because no roar followed If
has waved off the merchants OF foreign
countries who would come to sell what
our people wanted to buy, and, If the
latter persisted in wanting and getting
the things the foreigner brought, 1t has
made the former pay smartly for what
1T considered their folly, if not their
clsloyalty. The latest manifesto off,
cially declaring this Indifference to
abroad was signed by the president of
the United States July a. 1897, at d:O7
p. M, with 'mother-of-pearl pen." Tt
is known as the Dingley tariff act.

BAD FOR THE SOLDIERS.
t'Renefit" Excursion Last Night Was
Something of a Fiasco.

A rather hilarious crowd Of pleasure
seekers enjoyed an excursion on the
steamer Henrietta last evening, without
knowing to what trouble the promoters
of the affair had gone in attempting
to make it grand success There
was a trif1ing hitch while the excur-
sionists waited at the foot of Jack
son street for the boat to start, but
this was due to the refusal of the
captain to get up steam until he had
been paid the rental of the steamer.
This matter was finally arranged. but
the beer for the refreshment of the
party still stood on the dock the hard
hearted agent declaring it should not
go aboard until he also had been set
tied with. This matter was finally ad-
justed by the agent assuming charge of
the bar and appropriarIng the proceeds
as fast as they came in until his bill
was liQuidated.
But these difficulties were not all of
the embarraSSments which fell to the
lot Of the managers, for one of them
was in the custody of Detective Wells
yesterday afternoon, trying to convinca
the authorities that the excursion was
what it purported to be, namely bene-
fit for the "sick and wounded" soldiers
Of the Twelfth and Fourteenth Mime
sofa volunteer regiments.
The man said his name was Ryan
and carried what purported to be an
agreement signed by prominent public
officials indorsing the excursion and
setting forth that 80 per cent Of the
profits were to he devoted to the two
above regiments. The paper contained
the alleged signatures of Gov. Clough,
Mayor Kiefer. Mayor Pratt, of Mime
apolis, and other officials. He declared
these officials had commended the pro-
ject and that the soldiers share Of the
receipts was to be turned over to
Comptroller McCardy whom, he said,
had agreed to act as treasurer of the
fund
Detective Wells took Ryan to Mayor
Kiefer's Office and later let him go.
Last evening Ryan said that he stood
ready to turn over so per cent of the
profits, If there were any, as he agreed
to do, but from the rather small num-
Der on the boat and the slow sale of
refreshments, it is likely that all of
the proceeds will have to be devoted
to expenses.

Decision of the Federal Court Yes

Sophia M. Bristol lived in New York,
and after the fashion of New Workers
and other jewellers in the effete East
she had a lot of money but she didn't
have all there was and she tried to add
to her store by laaning her wealth to
farmers in the Northwest, and partic-

state. The unearned Increment that
went forth into the Golfers of Mrs Bris-
toll was very considerable, and when
she died some months ago she left
very large estate, a considerable por-
ton Of which was, and still is, in the
form Of notes and mortgages in the
hands of her agents in Washington
county.
During all the ears that Mrs. Bristol,
and her father before her, loaned
money in Washington county, W. M
McCluer, of Saltwater, acted as agent
for father and daughter, and the notes
and other evidences of indebtedness

When a few years ago Mrs Bristol
added C. II. McCluer to the agency
the same conditions as to the location
Of the tangible evidences Of indebted
ness remained. And during all of this
time there had been no taxes paid to
the county of Washington on these
personal evidences of wealth. Upon
the death Of Mrs. Bristol the county
of Washington brought suit against the
estate to recover unpaid taxes that had
accumulated against the notes and
mortgages held by the McCluers for
their principal. The whole sum al
legged by the county to be due was
$4,000, and the United States circuit
court yesterday decided that the county
had a right to collect.
The decision is an important one as
affecting the right of sovereign bodies
to collect taxes upon all tangible forms
of wealth if the evidences are located
within the confines of the territory
which the sovereign body assesses the
taxes uDOn
