Death Of Dr.. MONTGOMERY.

FUHu
The death Of Dr.. d. c. Mont,
gomery occurred this morning al
about half past 8 o'clock, after an
illness of abol It a week, from
pneumonia. Lr. Montgomery
was tho Oldest practicing physi-
clan ia Greenvi lie, and man uni
versally beloved and honored, not
oaly for his high professional at
tainments, bat for the exalted
character Of his public and private
life, and the many deeds of charit-
able self-sacritice for which the
community will always hold his
memory in reverence. The death
OF am Old and honofed physician is
perhaps the most serious in iyId-
ual loss which u communit, can
sustain, and public sorrow is both
deep and abiding in view If an
ailliction which is shared alike by
relatives, intimate friends of a
lifetime, and those who knew
him only as a man whose life and
influence was an ennobling one,
devoted to good works and the
support of all that is best.
A very large circle of relatives
mourn his loss, including his
brothers, Captain j. NJ. Mont
gomery, Major Eugene Mont
gomery, his wife and son, his
nieces and step-sons, to whom he
always stood in the relation Of
tender father, and the families of
Montgomery, Finlay, Archer, and
others, including great number
of the best known citizens of
Greenyille and the county. The
funeral will take place from his
residence on Shelby street tomor-
row at 3 o'clock.

At the home Of the brides brother
and sister, on Thursday evening at 8
o'clock, Miss pevereux Wyche was
married to Mr. JEFF Cornish, DR.. J. E,
Thomas, of the Methodist Church, per-
forming the ceremony.
Mrs Cornish has passed the greater
part of her life in Greenville, where
she is much admired By large circle
of acq' 81 Nonces for her beauty, vivac-
ity, and Yhsny amiable qualities. The
groom Is in the employ Of the Southern
Railroad, and is highly regarded by
all who know him both in bu' ~,,s"ss and
private life The wedding was a beau
tiful home ceremony, the only attend
ants being Mr., Jack Wyche and Miss
Dora Wyche, brother and sister Of the
bride. An elegant reception followed
the marriage, at which large number
of friends assembled to wish happiness
and prosperity to the newly welded
pair. Many handsome presents tosti-

A Suggestion.

The books of the electric light
company show the following
schedule of prices for lights as
now used:
Churches, 8 cents; residences,
16,conts; groceries, "a cents; drug
stores. AZ cents; bar rooms, 81
cents.
The prospectus issued by the
advocates of municipal control
claims that under its proposed
system all lights will be furnished
at 30 cents. Is it not probable
that this explains the solidarity of
the bar rooms in support Of mu-
nicipal controls Under its prom
iscd rate of charges the churches,
residences and other consumers
would pay for the lighting OF the
bar rooms. a. a.

dition of that part of Greenville
known as Newtown, many of the
premises being claimed to be in
an exceedingly foul and neglected
state, and the odors cannot only
be distinctly perceived in passing
through the quarter, but are watt
ed by the wind all over the North
east part of the city. The region
should be thoroughly overhauled
and cleansed before warm weather
sets in, for it must be remembered
that there will be no overflow to

An error was made in the last
issue of the TINES in the statement
that the Jewish burial service was
read by Rev. S. Archer at the
funeral of Mr.. Wilzin. The SER

the body. Two other bullets were found in
her clothing. At the close of DR.. Kilgore s
testimony the court adjourned to Wednes-
day morning.
DR.. A. G. Ellingwood was the first witness
called yesterday forenoon, and he corrobo-
rated DR.. Kilgore's testimony.
Henry WhitcOmb of Searsport testified to
being in The house the evening before the
shooting ami hearing Elliot threaten to kill
Mrs. Leavitt.
Mrs. Leavitt was the next Witness and on
account of her feeble condition couch was
provided for her inside the bar. She was as
sisted to a seat on the witness stand, and
testified in clear voice. Her testimony was
substantially the same as was given in her
sworn statement the day of the shooting and
as published at the time.
Wednesday afternoon the State called DR..
Elmer Small and other witnesses mainly
cOrroborative of the former testimony.
plan of the premises was also presented,
and the revolver and bullets put into the,
case. When The Journal went to press
the State had closed and R. F. Dunton was
opening the case for the defense. The de-
fense claims that the respondent is not re-
sponsIbie for his acts on account of his men
tai condition; that Mrs. Leavit5 came to his
room and took 81 or $S and the revolver and
in the struggle to get them back she fired
the first shot herself; that the relations be-
tween the parties led up to the affray; and
that he bought the revolver as a defense
against Mrs. Leavitt's husband, who had
once assaulted him.

Legro & spaIding Shoe Factory Closed.

The Legro & Spading Shoe Co. held its
annual meeting at it's factory in Belfast,
Tuesday, Jan. 4, 1898, the most of its stock
being represented in person or by proxy
The Jan. 1st stock-taking had TO be hurried
in order to reach balance, which was only
obtained about halfhour before the hour
at which the meeting was called. This bal
ance, if correct, showed that the assets of
the company, relative to its liabilities, had
been reduced to a point W here it was not
prudent to continue the business without
reorganization. But as there had been no
time to verify the figures, and as it seemed
quite probable there might have been a mis-
take, the stock holders appointed commit
tee consisting of W. B. Swan, r. F. Dunton,
A. G. Sibley, ]. Fl. Quimby, Jas. I. Lennox,
F. G. White, Dr.. j. M. Fletcher and A. A.
Howes to investigate the affairs of the com
pany and recommend action. The meeting
was then adjourned to Monday, Jan. 10, at 10
o'clock a. m.
At this adjourned meeting the above COM
niittee reported that, although much work
had been done in checking up and verifying
the account stock, no large error had been
found. They had, through Mr.. Sibley, en-
gagged an expert accountant to investigate
the books, and he had just arrived The
committee recommended that the company
should make an assignment, pending the in
vestigation. On acce pting the report of the
committee, the company voted unanimously
to assign all its property TO A. G. Sibley, w
B. Swan and r. F. Dunton, in trust, for the
benefit of its creditors, pro rata. The ac-
countant, who is at work on the books Will
not probably be able to report before Thurs
day afternoon, and the stockholders meet
ing was adjourned to meet at the office of
the company, Thursday, Jan 18th, al 3 pm.
The assignment was duly executed and re-
corded with the City Clerk of Belfast at )
o'clock Monday afternoon, Jan. 10th. The
assignees are now taking account of stock
and when that is completed they propose to
work up such odds and ends Of stock as can
better be converted into money in that way
than in the shape in W hich they find them.
1t is feared that this company cannot 90
on with their business, 50 that after the
shoes, necessary to work up stock, have
been made, the factory will be shut down
until new proprietors can be found. 1t is
little use to seek for the causes of this re
suit, except as they shall be guides for fut
ure attempts. The managers found last
summer that they could not carry on the
factory unaided successfully, and Mr.. Sibley
used his influence to try to resuscitate the
business. The business however had at
