Deacon Ashabel rlartln.


In the death oil Deacon Ashabel Martin,
which occurred on Sunday, Jan. 8. the
community has met with a loss that will
be deeply felt.
Born on the old Martin homestead on
Decent err 2, 1880. he was educated at
the academy and has spent his life here
with the exception of few years alb
sence in California in his younger days.
Perhaps it was this period of travel with
his acute powers of observation and
other natural gifts that gave him such
broadness Of character and fitted him
for h larger place OF influence that he
has he among his townsmen. During
his active life Deacon Martin has held all
the important Offices of the town and
represented the town in the state legisla-
ture, though he never took an active part
in politics, nor sought political prefer
of the Congregational church, of which
he was a member nearly 48 years, and it
is this body that will most deeply feel
the loss caused by his death, for to this
he gave freely OF his money, his time and
his best endeavor for so many years.
Not only the church, but every object
that met his approval had his hearty
support. The effect of such life cannot
soon be lost upon the people among
whom he lived.
Rev. Mr. Williams very aptly said at
the funeral service, Deacon Martin
though gone yet speaks to us and will
continue to speak to us through the mem
DRY of his true, modest and beautiful life. "

Bates, proctor for Nathan Cohen In
his suit against the Portland Steamship
company, to recover damages for the
loss of his son, a passenger on the steam
or Portland has filed in the United
States district court an answer to the
petition of the steamship company that
1t might have the benefit of the statute
limiting the liability of vessel owners
in such cases. On this petition the
court granted temporary injunction
against the prosecution Of suits against
the company in the state courts. The
answer denies all the statements Of the
petition so far as they were intended to
show that the steamer was seaworthy,
properly equipped and manned, and lost
owing to causes beyond the control OF
the owners. Then the answer claims
that the company is not entitled to the
benefit of the statute of limitation.
