THE kENNEBEc .pRoueH.
no Kay of Light in the Sky for Lieuo,
Dealers.

All augusta letter to the Portland
Express thus sums up the conditions
ana the prospects in the kennebec
county enforcement campaign: For
some time past the report has been pre-
Valent here that after the first of the
new year the saloons and hotels would
be allowed to resume the sale of liquor
without fear Of molestation and in the
same manner as before the drought
which began when Sheriff Ham
assumed the duties of his Office last
January. Some of the liquor dealers
placed credence in the reports and one
who was formerly in the business
secured the option on vacant build
ing on Water street to be used as a
booze emporium in the event of better
times for the trade.
But these reports have been found
to have had no foundation in fact.
County Attorney Leigh and Sheriff
Ham when asked about the matter this
week both emphatically stated that
there would be no let-up in the policy
|of enforcement, all reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. County
Attorney Leigh said: 1.-The people who
intend to engage in the illegal sale of
liquor will find that they will receive
the same dose of medicine which was
meted out to them at the September
term of the Superior court in the form
of Jail sentences" Sheriff Ham said
Ii anyone wants to start in the bust
ness he has perfect right to do so,
but he must beware of the conse-
quences. When 1 received the Repub-
lican nomination for the high
shrievalty of this county, backed by the
leaders of the party, 1 stated that if 1
We're elected 1 would see that the pro-
hibitory liquor law was enforced with
out fear or favor, and 1 propose to
stand by my word.
THE next term of the Superior court
will convene on the second Tuesday of
January and at that time there are a
number of persons who will be in line
for sentence for selling liquor. They
We're indicted at the September term
and filed demurrers, which is a prac-
tical confession of guilt, the point Of
the men being to put the cases off for
one term. 1t is said that it is the in
tention of the county attorney to ask
for Jail sentences in all the cases, so
that it cannot be said that there is any
discrimination shown in the enforce
ment of the law.
Nearly a year of enforcement has
demonstrated that the Prohibitory law
can be enforced. In Augusta today it
is sud by those that are OH the inside
that there is not an open bar in the city
and that no malt liquor can be procured
Some liquor is Sold but it is confined to
close quarters"

Police Think They Have the
-. Ogden GoeIet, Jr."
Who Trihed With Affections Of Miss
Grace Anderson, New York.
Man Claims Name Is Hall and Will
Fight Extradition.

Niagara Falls, N Y, Dec. 27.-There
is no doubt in the mind of the police
that the man arrested on the Canadian
side, last night, is James Abeel, New
York, who, it is alleged, posed at -.
Ogden Goelet, Jr.," claiming relation
ship to the ell-known Goelet family
and became engaged to Miss Grace
Anderson of New York
On Wednesday, of last week, two
men went to the Savoy hotel at Mia
CARA Falls, Ont. and registered from
Chicago, one as F. S. Hall and the
other w. X. Hall. Last night, Chief of
Police Mains of the Ontario force, re-
ceived q telegram from Inspector Nc
Clusky of the New York police asking
him to arrest +. S. Hall at the Hotel
Savoy. who, the message said, is want
ed in New York on a charge of forgery.
Abeel is still at the Savoy in charge Of
a police officer. The man with him is
not in custody.
Abeel has engaged Germain & Petit,
a well-knoWn law firm of Walland,
Ont, and he will undoubtedly fight eX-
tradition. Acting under the advice of
his counsel he will make no statement
further than to declare that he has
committed no crime.
If Abeel persists in his determination to
fight extraditon and refuses to return to
New York, the officials admit they will
be at a standstil in the case because the
eXtradtiOn laws, it is said, will not cover
the case.
Abeel said. this evening:

ing j. Ogden GoeIet or any Cth~r coe!ct.

ing. From the first the case was consid-
cred most serious and skilled physicians
were in attendance, but not until Thurs
day did hope vanish; and at early even
ing, cared for as she had been tcndery
and dcvotedly by her children. the spirit
went out from the arms who had so low
ingy waited upon the gentle, untiring,
faithful mother to know no more suffer-

estimable qualities and endearcd herself
to a wide circle of acquaintanceS not only
in this town, where she had lived for 40
years, but to many acquaintance out of

herself with the Congregational church
of this town and worked faithfully in its
interest for many years Many social and
State organizations she was admitted to
and aided in various ways The hospitals
of the State were objects which especially
appealed to her. Possessed of a kindly
and sympathetic nature, the wife of a
busy physician for more than 80 years.
opportunities were often before her in
which to help the sick or needy, and many
a family can testify to the kindly act per-

behalf. In all good efforts her help was
uplifting, But more than all else the
dearest place to her was her home. and
in every sense of the word was she faith
ful, devoted, untrng in her duties there
to husband and children, the comfort and
pleasure OF those nearest her was the aim
of her life, and she gave herself most
unselhshly to them. Always hosptable,
