Mate Of 4 Coal Barge the Victim Of 0uaee
Game.

The police have been looking for q
mysterious, smooth appearing strang-
er. who. it is claimed. relieved the mate
OF one of the coal barges Of $50 Ac-
cording to the story told the police, the
captain of the barge started off for a
time with the boys, Thursday night.
A little after midnight, he fell in with
a smooth appearing stranger. The
captain did not remember seeing the
stranger before. but the stranger gave
him the glad hand and was as smooth
as Il bunco steerer ~
After the night was well along, the
captain and the stranger separated.
the captain to continue his good time.
The stranger went to the barge and
there told the mate that the captain
was in trouble and wanted $50 to get
him out of scrape. The mate, with
the big heartedness that characterixes
a sailor. let out a reef from his belt and
shook out wad. The stranger stuffed
this in his pocket, but instead of 60
ing to find the captain, he started for
the late Pullman. and by this time is
probably in Boston.

Mrs. Daniel D. SeWall.

Just at noon in the full sweetness of
the Sabbath day. came the call of the
Master to one who has been for many
years the dear centre of happy home.
1T is hard to believe that Laura
Sewall will no more give smile and Il
greeting to the friends who loved her.
1t is hard to put into words the
charm and the brightness that We're
peculiarly her own. To those who
knew her intimately it was a constant
wonder that, though burdened with
weakness for years, her cheerful spirit
made one almost forget that her smiles
We're covering pain. and her bright
quaint words silencing all complaint.
Love. patience. cheerfulness were the
characteristics that peculiarly endear-
ed her in her home and to her friends.
She had been so long a happy invalid
We had almost forgotten that she might
some day leave us. She seemed need
cd here for the cheer and comfort of
her family and for all the friends who
loved her. 5
But our Father has home beyond
the smiling and the weeping" and if
ones ears We're not so dull we might
perhaps hear her saying:
What mean You by this weeping,
To break my very heart?
We all are in Christ's keeping
And therefore cannot part.
Il was so very weary,
Surely you could not mourn
That l. little sooner.
Should lay my burdens down.
You there-I here-though parted,
We still at heart are one.
| only just in sunshine.
The shadows scarcely gone"
Wherefore. since they who leave us
are ever with the Lord" let us COM
fort one another with these words.

DR.. Burt Andrews, the ate nding ply
sician. testified to the extent Of the in
juries. Mrs. Turner was n ot put on
the stand by her attorney. G. C. Shell
don. The case was continued until
next Tuesday, to await the develop
ment Of the injuries Of the injnred wo-
man. The bail was fixed at $500 by
Judge A. G. Andrews and the greater
part of the afternoon was spent in try
ing to find bOndsmen, but without
success. An attempt was made to con-
vey certain property that the bonds
might be secured, but as this failed to
prove successful that plan was aban-
doned and Mrs. Turner was taken to
Jail.
DR.. Andrews thought, Saturday, that
the injuries Mrs. Coffin received might
not prove fatal, although there was
slight doubt in his mind that she
would be cripple for life, and proba-
bly, would be confined to a chair on
account Of the injured hip.

daughter Jessie.
Mr.. Gctchell says that when his wife
started to look for her brother the
daughter flew at her and attempted to
strike her. but the blow was warded off
by the sheriff. Mrs. Getchell il is al

scratched in the face and the blood
flowed freely from the wounds. DIR.
Shaw dressed the wounds while the
party proceeded on its tour of inspec-

Mr.. Getchef says he was next attack

as they were going into an entry both
he and his wife We're again assaulted
by Mrs. Harmon. who declared that she

ton which the committee was receiv-
ing was so warm that the visitors de-
{ i,ied that the best thing for them to
do was to get Mr.. and Mrs. Getchell
out of the house in safety. and then
L.
Harmon out Of the house.
They found him sitting on an old
lounge in the kitchen in Il stupor The
daughter was asked to show them
where Harmon slept and she refused
and ran and locked up all of the doors
An entrance was forced to Harmon's
room, which was found to be in the
shed. and a pitiable sight greeted the
doctors. The room was as dark as a
dungeon and there was but little venti-
lation. Harmon's bed in one corner of
it was nothing but straw and every
where there was an appearance of
filth 1t was deemed best to remove
Harmon at once from such a place, and
accordingly he was provided with clean
clothes and taken to Mr.. Getchell's
house. and later left for Augusta in
charge of DIR. Sanborn.
1t was reported at the hospital, yes
terday. that Harmon was not violent. |
It is thought there is slight chance of
his ever becoming sane again, on ac-
count of his age, so years.
