HORRIBLE MURDER
Discovered, Tuesday Morning,
at South Berwick Junction.
Remains Of Mrs. Fannie Spriggs
Found in a Burning Barn.
Had Been Assaulted, Murdered and the Re-
mains Horribly MutiIated.

South Berwick, Me, May Mrs
Fannie s5prisgs, 80 years Of age, a do
mcstic in the family Of Samuel Locke,
at South Berwick Junction, was muir
this morning, and up to late hour,
tonight, the murderer had not been ar
rested. The unfortunate woman was
the daughter of Thomas Abbott of
South Berwick. and the badly multi
ated condition Of the body as found in
the barn owned by Florence J. Knight,
showed conclusively that the deed was
committed about 10 o'clock, this fore
noon, under conditions which indicate
4 premeditatcd murder Of the most
atrocious nature, ana tn attempt On
the part Of the murderer to burn the
barn and conceal an evidence Of his
crime The body when found in 4
smouldering mass Of excelsior. was
entirely nude, with the execution OF
corscts and shoes, the remainder Of the
clothing having been eaten away by
the flames, and the left arm of the wo-
man was burned to crisp.
Mrs Spriggs was probably dressed
in her usual house apparel. and wore n
hat, and it is believed that when she
left the house to 90 To- the barn she
was acquainted with the party who ac-
companied her. There are no evil
denccs Of a struggle in the barn, and
it is generally supposed she VAS struck
a terrific blow over the head. and was
afterwards dragged to a horse pen
where her throat was cut in tire,
places, the body was covered with eX-
celsior, and then set on fire. Those
who viewed the body express them
selves of the opinion that either Of the
stabs in the neck would have caused
her death if she had not been killed by
a blow shortly after she entered the
barn.
The authorities learn that man in
Eliot with whom the woman had
lived previous To her coming here. and

several years adopted the primary
election plan for nominating Off
GERS and tried it for several years,
finally quitting it in disgust and
going back to the convention sys-
tenn. 1t is possible that in some
other counties it may have proved
more satisfactory. The principal
objection in that county was that
a candidate had practically to
make two complete canvasses of
the county. Then when there
were several candidates for the
same office the one receiving a
plurality might fall far short Of a
majority. Thus A might have 500
votes, B 499, G 498, D 497. A
would be nominated, although
having only slightly more than
one-fourth the vote. In practice
it was found that A, though NOM
mated, was nearly always beaten
at the polls. This almost invari-
ably when there we're several can
didates for the same position.

The famous author of "The
Bonnie Brier- Bush" has discover
ed that the modern church is in
tested with "genteel tramps," and
he is going to make them the sub
ject Of an article in the April
Ladies' Home journal. It may be
said in advance that "Ian Mac
laren's" tramps are not what we
know in everyday parlance as
"hoboes," but seemingly most
estimable persons who are atten-
tive to their churchly duties, as
they see them, but who are, never
theless, a drawback to the ad-
vancement of the church. "The
Genteel Tramps in Our Churches"

The letters of Frank Carpenter
appearing in some of the leading
newspapers have been enjoyed
and digested by the reading pub
lie. The value of these 8 sketches
as supplemental to the study of
geography has been proved by the
great number of copies of "North
) America" and "Asia" now in use
} in schools. The books have the
added value of peculiarly graphic
illustrations reproduced from pho
tographs taken by the author.
! "South America" has just been
} issued by the American Book
company, a copy Of which has been
received at this Office. One, tour
ing with Carpenter, views many
! places not visited by the geo.
grapher or the sight-seer, andfnds
enjoyment and wonder in the
many quaint and curious customs
of the people, their modes of life,
civilization, and industries. A
climb in the Andes; a jaunt over
the broad pampas Of Argentia; a
sail on the great Amazon, will be
! tonic to the pupil after he is
wearied with the great mass of
facts usually set for his daily mas
tication and assimilation. The
study of geography assumes life
and action when supplemented by
such fascinating descriptions as
Carpenter-and Carpenter alone
gives. These descriptions are
J vivid and exact and have the
merit, not often found in books of
! originality.
