o'clock Monday afternoon, Aug. 2Sth of
heart disease, at his home on TicOnic street.
Waterville. Mr.. Williams had been com.
planning of trouble with his heart all sum
mer and in the morning felt so i'll that he
contemplated staying at home from his
work for the day. Contrary to the advice OF
friends, however, he went to work, but was
forced to quit during the forenoon and 90
home. He ate but little dinner, after which
he went to his room to lie down. DR.. NJ. S.
Goodrich was called to attend him about an
hour before he died, pronouncing the trou-
bic neuralgia of the heart. The deceased
came to Waterville about ten years ago from
Belfast, and has at different times been in
the employ of the Floods, Levi BUshey &
Son, and r, l.. Proctor. He has always
been very industrious, and enjoyed the high
est respect of his neighbors He leaves

SALMON IN THE THAMES.

Efforts to Bring About the Return oi Palmy Days When Each Brought 6 Guinea.
 The catching of the last salmon in the
 river Thames antedates the present longest reign, and formed a dainty dish | to set before the King who gave its | lucky captor a guinea pound for it | Still more remote and not within the liv- | ing memory is the time when the 1 Thames fishermen emptied their boats | of salmon caught near Barnes Now, however, there is promise of a return of the palmy days. The Thamee Riparian Owners report, just issued alludes to the steps taken to restore the | Thames to its former position as a sal | mon river It expresses cordial sympa- 1 thy with the movement, as also with the
 efforts of the angling associations tc improve the stock of the fish in the
 river, and announces that some of the
 principal fishery owners have intimated
 their willingness to grant leases of their fisheries in order that the associations
 might be assured of the undisturbed en- joyment of the fruits of their improve ments. .s5N
 Nothing could be better for the opera tions of the Thames salmon Associations. The scheme of this body is to introduce during each year number of two year
 old fish into the Thames. They will have reached period of growth when
 they will have some chance of surviving the dangers of the watery world, be it in river or sea, and will be ready to leave the former to spend season in oql u9ss9I ol I9pJo III .I9lleI eul chances of their falling a prey to hum gry pike in the more circumscrbed fresh waters of the Thames, the young fish will be turned into the stream as near the tideway as possible
 If after this has been going on for sev- eral years salmon are to be seen at Ted dington on their way up to the higher reaches they would thrive in, it will show that the tidal waters are now pure enough to allow the king of fresh water fish to pass safely through them as the smelt has done in considerable and in creasing numbers since 1S96
 To produce the required salmon, hatcheries will have to be established in the Thames Valley. where salmon eggs will be taken care of, and the young fry reared. an.iui1u
 Lord Boston, who is on the Executive Committee, has placed his etews at Hedsor at it's disposal, and other places on the tributaries, equally suitable, will, it is hoped, be made available for the same purpose.
 In connection with the proposal, a public meeting will be held on Friday next in the Egyptian Hall of the Man. sion House, when the Lord Mayor will take the chair at 3:3O D. m.-London Mail

 But even with the double occupation his business career has not been sue cess, as is evidenced by statement of affairs showing liabilities G14, assets nil.
 When he put in an appearance at the Halifax County Court recently for his public examination the Official Receiver asked him what had been his average income.
 Nothing for ropemaking," the hang man replied. q have had a small amount from Government appoint ment."
 "A Government appointment? What was that?"
 Well, it was in Ireland. I had duties there in connection with the carrying out of the law-at executions"
 "Oh, you mean hanging people?"
 Yes"
 "How long is it since you had a duty of that kind to discharge?"
