THE PASSING OF SClOEN.
A Long List of MOurners. but no
Tears are Shed.

Some time ago il was chronicled in the
RECORD that c. j. Scioon of Detroit had
contracted with several of the sugar
beet growers hereabouts to cultivate
their beets, receiving for such work $40
per acre. A car load of weeders were
brought here from Detroit and Mr..
Scioen started in on large scale to full
fiji his contracts.
He boarded at the Wright House and
seemingly was possessed OF an amount OF
money to meet all his obligations. He
had large job on his hands, having
contracted for about 600 acres. He was
very pleasant appearing man and all
went on smoothly until about three
weeks ago when he announced that he
had 10 go to Detroit for "A few days. He
went and nothing has been heard from
him since, and it has been dawning on
the minds Of our people that the gentle
man has no intentions of returning In
vestigations were instituted by few
and it has been learned that he actually
did return TO Detroit and after calling
upon his family left as his wife sup
posed at the time, to return to Alma.
A few days after she received letter
from him stating that he had become
heavily involved at Alma and she would
hear nothing more from him until he
could meet his obligations.
That he was sincere in his intentions
when he first came here there is no
doubt, but he evidently had shouldered
more than he could bear and did not
have the financial support to carry out his
contracts. If he was a common swind-
Ter he would have certainly let our peo-
pie down for more than he did, for all
the accounts that are standing against
him are small and those who trusted
him had confidence enough in his imam,
cial standing 80 that he could have more
than doubled the amounts. The labor
ers that he employed are the ones that
receive the brunt of the loss Possibly
he may return and meet his obligations,
but it.is doubted by the majority of
his creditors.

to be thoroughly conversant with the
subject, and those present who have
been instrumental in securing him the
appointment, listened with pride to his
remarks, and il is safe TO say that he
carried off the honors Of the evening.
This completed the program OF the
evening and all retired from the dining
room to medley overture, National
Airs" by the orchestra, feeling that it
had been an evening well and profitably
spent Prof. Wesche's st. Louis Orches-
ira furnished the music for the occasion
and the excellence of the quality was
only another part of the enjoyments of
the evening. After handshaking and
farewels those present departed for
their homes in the early hours of morn
ing when the dawn of new day was
appearing in the easter skies.

TO BUILD GUARD RAIL.
Rumor That the Portland and Cape
Elizabeth win Put One ON Portland
Bridge.

1t is rumored that the Portland & Cape
Elizabeth railroad will put guard rail
on the Portland bridge to do away with
the possibility of an accident there. AS
the bridge Is constructed thers is mot
thought to be one chance In many thou
sand of n car going on the trestle, but II
is to do away with this possibility that
the guard rail Is to be built. 1t will be
constructed with the view to prevent a
car leaving the trestle even should 1t be
going at a fast rate of speed when 1t
leaves the track. 1t is understood that
the guard rail viii be put on the bridge
within a few weeks. The Portland &
Cape Elizabeth railroad sinos it has como
under the management of the Portland
Railroad company, will take no chances
when the safety of Its patrons Is con-
Germ ed.

MAN WENT TO BOSTON.
This Is How the Absence of Chester
Norton Is Explained.

The Mary ]. Elliot is small schoon err
which some time ago came to the Berlin
Mills Co.'S. wharf to load lumber for
Boothbay. When her deck load had
been placed on board the seams of the
vessel opened and she almost sank at
her dock. 1t was necessary to remove
her cargo and load it upon the schooner
Satellite and the Mary j. Elliot was
hauled out ana some of her seams re-
caulked.
Yesterday the captain Of the Elliot re-
ported that Chester Norton who was the
only sailor ON the schooner had disap-
peared and he feared that he had been
drown d. He said that the man was
very temperate, well behaved person and
that this was the only war he could 40.
count for his absence from the vessel.
He was quite sure that young Norton had
been foully dealt with or met with some
accident. PRESS reporter learned at
the wharf Of the Berlin Mills company
yesterday that Norton had told youn &
man named Horton who works there that
he was going TO Boston Tuesday night.
The men abont the wharf think that
this is what has become OF young Norton
and take no stock in the story that he
has been drowned.
