MARTIN LEE.

Martin Lee died at his home Tuesday
afternoon, following brief illness, the
result of a fall. Deceased had for a
number Of years past been employed as
section man on the Grand Trunk, at
this place, but about two years ago he
was transferred to Berlin, N. H., with
the appointment of flagman at railroad
crossing, but did not move his family
there. Saturday the I'd inst while in
the performance of his duties he was
seized with an attack of vertigo and fell,
striking on the back of his head. He
was brought home and soon after re-
lapsed into Inconsistencies, from which
he never rallied despite the tender and
constant care of his family or all that
medical skill could accomplish. He
leaves widow, three sons and three
daughters to mourn the loss OF fond
and devoted husband and father. Before
coming to the United States he was a
British soldier, had served in the Crl-
mean war, also had seen service i'll India
and Canada, and it was very interesting
and entertaining to listen to him as ne
recalled various scenes in his career
while serving under the British flag in
the several countries mentioned. Mr..
Lee was little over Ga years old, and a
genial, social, whole-souled man. His
funeral will be held at the Church OF
st. James the Greater Friday morning
To his bereaved family we tender oul
respectful sympathy.

of the mountain, where hardly "a track
could he seen, was exciting, especially to
those who went over it for the first tine.
1t was very jolly party, and the two
hours and a half spent in getting to
camp were passed in great enjoyment.
Upon reaching camp we arrived in time
to see thirty men at dinner, and short
time after, the company sat down to a
real camp dinner, and a most substan-
tial and good dinner it was for a hungry
crowd, who did ample justice to it. Al
ter dinner games were in order and most
delicious molasses candy was served.
Several photographs were taken. At half
past three the company started on their
homeward trip down the mountain which
was even more exciting than the climb
up to camp. All the party reached
home at dark having voted a most de-
lightful outing and they all wish to re-
turn hearty thanks to the Silsby
Brothers for such peasurable occa-
sion. 1t will be day long to be re-

SPLENDID WORK
OF THE POLICE.
Several Strike Cases We're
Disposed Of by Squire
Graves-PoliCe Court

Every effort Is being made by the po-
lice department to prevent disorder ana
trouble during the strike. and their ef-
forts are being rewarded to large ex-
tent. But much of their strenuous ef-
forts seems to be OF little avail when the
attempt to prove cases Is made IN the
Police Court.
-four cases were presented for hearing
before Squire Graves yesterday. Two
of them were for alleged refusals to
''moye on" when instructed by the pos
lice; one was for an alleged violation OF
the law by the throwing of piece OF
leo by a prominent citizen and menu
Der OF tho Common Council, ana the
fourth was charge made by an o1ncsr
that he had been struck on the shoulaer
with piece of fruit ny young mani
whom he had arrested.
In tho first two cases the men charged
with refusing to move on We're eacn
fined a small sum. The other two charges
were not sustained, and the accused were
dismissed,
Ihe first of tho cases heard was that
OF Mr., Howard Heslep. who was arrested
by Policeman Amos for hitting him with
lump Of ice while he was seated on a
car going west, near Short Street, on
Thursday morning, Mr., Heslep acknowl-
edged having thrown the Ice, but ex-
planned that 1t was done simply In the
spirit of fun. Without malice, he ae-
clared he held no ill-feeling toward Mr,
Amos, and would not have thrown the
Ice had he known 1t was going to strike
him with any force. He pitched the Ice
over toward Mr. Amos. because ne knew
him so we'll. and did not throw at the car
Mr.. Amos said that at the time the Ice
was thrown at him the car was IN the
midst Of shouting and hooting crowd
OF people, and that 1t had tendency
to !ncite the crowd to violence coming
as II did from such a prominent citizen.
Squire Graves reproved Mr.. Iieslep FOR
his thoughtless action, and upon his as
surance that nothing wrong was M
tended, he said ~, ~ J,
.'Well I'll dismiss the case this time"
The next case was that'of Mr., John NJ
