Joseph S. Kicker was born In Lebanon
In 1891 and was the son Of Ebenezer
Kicker a poor farmer, being the oldest
of family of ten children. He movsd
Sanford in the year 1887, with his father
who bought the estate now occupied by
sir. VIM. p. True, and lived upon 1t un-
til his death that occurred in 1859.
Joseph remained at home with his
parents about one year after their re-
moval from Lebanon. he was then about
seventeen years old. His educational
privileges were very limited, nothing
more than common school and very
meagre at that,
Desirable as a thorough education Is,
with him IL was not essential TO success,
lie had large stock OF common sense,
great deal of energy and a firm resolu-
ton to acquire what he might, honestly.
With this stook, he started out in life
and let himself to a butcher in Milton,
Mass where he remained for about eight
months, and returned home to stay about
one year.
Then with only eight dollars he ap-
prenticed himself to Mr.. Oliver Hin OF
Berwick, to learn the tanner S trade.
Abou three years and half finished his
apprenticeship, and then he went to work
for his employer rs a journeyman, for
two hundred dollars and board, DER year,
In which capacity he laDored two years
after which he went West, intending to
settle but was taken sick, and returned
after a few months, and entered into
partnership with MIR. Hll, his former
employer, which existed about three and
half years,
From Berwick he went TO Ossipee, N.
b., where he remained about two and q
half We ars, and from Ossipee to Great
Falls where he remained ABOUT one year,
and then he removed to Portland, which
was In 1859, where he has been since.
For many years o. this time, he was
alone In business. Then a firm was
formed under the title Of j. S. Kicker q
Co, after which the firm was inoorpo'
rated and called the Casoo Tanning COM
pany. Under his management the bust
ness was very successful.
Mr. Kicker was large holder In Bos-
ton and Maine stock and was one OF the
directors of that road. He has also been
connected with various financial institu'
tions OF Portland. He served the town OF
Deering two years as treasurer. and has
been a valued member of the High street
Congregational church. He married in
ls45 Miss Jane Huntress. They had one
son and two daughters, the son dying
several years ago.
MIR. Kicker was reokoned among Port
lands solid citizens, q shrewd man OF
business but one who gave generously to
charity. His estate on Forest avenue In

THE CANAL TREATY.
some straws which indicate Eng
lands Feeling In Matter.

London, January 16.-The American
correspondent of the Times sends dis
patch or the Hsy-Pauncefote treaty
which is a bitter invocation on Great
Britain not to give anti English Ameri-
cans an opportunity for exultation over
her surrender and tinds hearty editori-
al echo IN the Globe which declares that
though Americans as whole, are learn
ing to take n more sober view OF the re-
lations with Great Britain, "there is stiLl
q group OF politicians whose main OBJ
iect is to annoy and humiliate Great
Britain"
Various American dispatches rater
pointealy to washinRton's growing as
sumption that Great Britain Will accept
the amended treaty. According TO ru-
NOR here, this Is grsSsiy due 90 >priyats
conversations with Lord Pauncefote some
time ago. Whatever truth there Is in
the reuorted conversations with Lord
Pauncefots and they are not credited at
the foreign office, 1t can bs said that the
matter has now gone beyond the phase
where Lord Pauncefote's views are likely
to turn the scale one way or the other.
We're not the question regarded from the
broad standpoint of Great Britain's gen.
eral policy towards the United States, 1t
would be safe to say the Senate's amend
ments would meet with prompt refusal; (;

Justice Jcromc'S decision was as fol-

The people of the state of New

defendant.
AN examination of the evidence
satisfies me that the witness. Jones,
is adequately corroborated within the
meaning of Section 3S9 of the code of
criminal procedure by evidence tending
to connect the defendant with the COM
mission of the crime charged. The de-
PENDANT must therefore. be held upon
the charge of murder in the first
degree to await the action of the grand
jury.
