went out hunting in the vicinity of Mil
inocket during the storm of Wednesday
became lost in the woods and not re-
turning at night searching parties were
sent out in all directions. To attract
their attention the whistle at the Great

that night one of the searching party
came across the clerk of one of the Mil
linocket hotels, who had been lost in the

with cold. Not until Thursday after

companions body was brought to

catalogue of the murderers now being
housed, at Thomaston? Quite a pOpu-

tions ere many moons. One of the most
unfortunate phases of the situation Is
no matter how atrocious the incidents
of the crime-only imprisonment for life
can be the sentence. Now isn't there
some golden mean between confinement
in prison and the hangman's moose or
the chair of 81 ,ctrocution? We need such
an intermediate mode of punishment for

HERE AND THERE.

A west-bound ocean steamer, equipped
with wireless telegraph apparatus, re-
Gently passed in mid-ocean-at consid-
cradle distance-an east-bound steamer,
also equipped with similar apparatus,
and among other messages commune
Gated one for Philadelphia. This mes
sage was repeated by the east-bound
steamer to a station on the Irish coast,
and thence sent to Philadelphia, where
it arrived some hours before the west
bound steamer from which 1t started
arrived in New York. Such feat brings
one step nearer the day when travellers
on ocean steamers will be in constant
communication with the shore through
out the voyage.
1t is to be hoped that the visitors at
tending the National Grange from all
over the country will not think that last
Wednesday was typical thirteenth OF
November for Maine. We have winter
enough here, without hanging out an
early storm like that as fair sample.
This seems to be the year for convict
ing murderers in Maine. Within four
months four men have been convicted
of murder in the first degree in this
state, and all but one of them have
taken their sentence of life impris-
onment without any attempt to delay
proceedings. In the most recent case an
appeal has been taken to the full bench;
but without attempting to forestall the
action of the court, it may be said that
the prisoners counsel probably have
little hope of securing new trial. This
record of convictions seems to indicate
that the juries are of the opinion of the
Judge in the late Judge Virgins story,
who instructed the jury, as requested by
the prisoners counsel, that it was better
that ninety-nine guilty men should es-
cape than that one innocent man should
suffer-but added that in his opinion the
ninety ME had already escaped.

other states on the apparent lack of de-
terrent force in Names life-imprison-
ment sentence. The force of penalty
