In the sketch printed last week OF the
life Of the late A. W. Cushman the fact
was mad vertentIy omitted that the late
Edward r. Jordan was for some years a
partner in the firm OF A. w. CushmaD q
Co. This firm wss dissolved In 1895 when
Mr.. Jordan moved to North Vassalboro,
where he died. Mr.. Cushman's son, A. K.
Cushman, was then taken into partner.

man & Son.
The county commissioners held their
regular monthly session at the court
house yesterday. To-day they are In
Amherst to locate a State road, that
thrifty town having complied with the
State law relating to roads that carries
with 1t an appropriation from the State
treasury. The commissioners will hold
special session the last of this month to
assess State and county taxes on organ
zed plantations.
Last Thursday City Marshal Silvey re-
ceived word from Bar Harbor to look for
a colored man, William Smith, who got
out Of town without settling a bill of
some go. Mr.. Silvey found his man on
the New York express, and placed him
iu the county jail. Friday officers from
Bar Harbor transferred him to the lookup
in that town. Saturday he became vio-
lently insane and tried to hang himself in
his cell, but was found in time to preve at
'is death, although he was unconscious
or some time.
The funeral of the late A. w. Cushman
was held at the family residence on
franklin street last Friday at 10 q. M,
Rev. 8. W. Sutton officiating. The SER
vices were brief but impressive, and the
house was filled with friends who came
to pay their last tribute of respect to a
most worthy citizen. The bearers were
Col. j. F. Whitcomb, Capt. II. j. Joy, ex-
Mayor A. w. Greely and James A.
McGown. Interment was at Wood bine
cemetery. The stores, Offices, banks and
postotfice were closed during the hour of
the funeral.
Four new members were admitted last
evening to the Ellsworth lodge of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen. The
benefit OF this order is well illustrated by
the fact of three recent deaf hs-W. H..
GRAHAM, j. T. Cushman and A. W. Cush-
man, whose estates receive 2, 600 each
from the order. 1t is a rather singular
coincidence that these three men-who
came to Ellsworth about the same time,
were all three Masons, were mem bers OF
weeks of each other.
An interesting and unusual sight on
Ellsworth streets during the past week
has been the automobile belonging to J.
Montgomery Sears, of Boston. The
machine came over land from Boston, ar
irving here about week ago in charge OF
5. s. Folsom, chaffeur. Mr.. Sears made a
trip to Castine and back the other day,
and then went to Bar Harbor. He ex
poets to return to Ellsworth to- morrow
and go from here to Goudsboro and
back. The machine is a powerful one,
and is capable OF being driven at the rate
OF forty five miles an hour, though Mr..
Folsom smiIingIy observed that 1t wasn't
being driven at that rate here's bouts.
The machine has been put up" at the
Hancock house stables.
