ARTHUR SEWALL IS DEAD.
Bryan's Running Mate in 1896 Ex-
pires at Small Point Ne.
He succumbs to : stroke Of ApopJsxy-
A Lifetime Spent in the Develop
mont Of Ship Building.

Bath. Me (SpeciaD.-Arthur Sewall,
the Democratic candidate for Vice
President in 1896, died at his summer
home at Sewall Point, sixteen miles
from this place. Mr.. Sewall was
stricken with apoplexy on Sunday.
The Inconsistencies which followed
the attack continued until death came.
Arthur Sewall was born in Bath,
Me. in November, 1885. He was edu-
Gated in the common schools of Bath.
When a boy he went from Bath to
Prince Edward Island, where he
traded and procured ship timber. This
was sent to the shipyards of the Ken
nebec. Returning when less than
twenty a old he entered the en-
pIoy of his fathers firm, Clark & Sew
all, and afterward, in 1854, went into
partnership with his elder brother,
Edward, under the name of e. & A.
Sewall.
The two brothers launched their
first ship, the Holyhead, in January.
1855. She was of over 1000 tons bur-
den and a large ship for those days.
They also launched another ship in
the same year. After that there was
not a year in which they did not
launch a vessel. On the death of the
older brother in 1879 the firm was
changed to Arthur Sewall & Co., and
the establishment continued to build
large ships of great excellence.
Arthur Sewall in 1890, having made
a tour Of all the noted shipyards OF
the world, to keep abreast of the
march of progress, returned to Bath
and began to equip his yards for the
construction of steel sailing vessels.
The first steel vessel launched was the
Dirigo, with a tonnage of over 25O0
tons. Mr. Sewall, who was a man OF
intense convictions, was a firm be-
lever in free silver. He was well
thought Of by the Democratic leaders,
and in 1896 was nominated for the
vice-Presidency on the ticket with w.
J. Bryan.
In 1859 Mr.. Sewall married Emily
Duncan Crookes, daughter of a
wealthy Bath citizen. His son, Har-
old, was formerly Consul-General to
Samoa.

Official Paper Of Nez Perez County

The code commission has made
no report yet nor is it possible tor
any proper investigation to be
made of the work of that body.
The appointment of the code CON-
mission paid political debts in the
last administration. The work
done has been ofthe secret star cham
Der variety. The members of the
board were too busy with the cam.
paign to take time to report to the
people. They probably considered
it OF more interest to secure a ma
jority in the Legislature to pass
their work as party measure than
to explain its merits to the people.
In keeping with its present methods
we shall expect to see a strong
lobby organized to carry the code
commission job through the legis-
lature. There is reward for the
faithful in carrying this measure,
as the expense ofprinting the new
codes will make political fat we'll
worth the frying. One Of the I'm
portant measures of the session
will be the bill dealing with the re-
port of this commission. There
Is little doubt from the action taken
by the commission that an attempt
will be made to carry their report
through the legislature without
having its merits subjected to the
test Of public approval. The bill
provided that their report should
be submitted to attorneys and
county officials two months before
the legislature met. There has
been total disregard OF this pro-
vision and the work of the commis-
sion will have to 60 in as a party
measure and as such it will be put
through under the pressure of a
lobby. A report that will not bear
the scrutiny of fair criticism must
b. regarded with suspicion by fair
minded men.
