Last Wednesday, a man who gave
his name as Everett Paris, hired Il
team from the livery stable of Charles
E. Pickering, to go to Litchfield, as he
stated. AS the team left the stable
that was the last seen of it in this vi
cinity. AS the team or driver has not
yet returned, the affair is in the hands
of City Marshal Andrews, who has sent
out notices to neighboring cities and
towns and to the country beyond Lew
iston as that is the direction which it
is thought the man took. The horse
is described as a bay mare, weighing
1880 pounds, having one white foot and
thin tail. The harness was a rubber
mounted one. The horse was attached
to an end spring covered Cornish bug
gy, built by Smith e Gardiner, was
newly painted black and spoke was
broken in one of the wheels. The ar
rest of Paris, who is described as a
man of about 40 years of age and with

SUICIDE AT DOVER.
Mrs. Catherine Bolton Ended Her Lie
Tuesday, by Drowning.

lover Me. July 29.-Tuesday morn
ing. at about o'clock, this community
was shocked by learning tht Mrs. Cath-
crime Bolton had committed suicide by
drowning in the Piscataquis river near
the Brown mills. Mrs. Bolton had Tor
the past several months been boarding
with Mrs. Loyinia Pratt on Main street.
The last seen of her alive was by
Allen Dinsmore, who saw her in the
garden near the river. He thought
nothing of it at the time, as ne had
seen her there several times before ana
consequently he kept about MS work
at the stable and soon returned 10 the
most office to care for the morning mail.
He had been there but few minutes
when a report came that from the
Brown mills that a woman had peen
seen to walk into the water from the
opposite shore. Mr. Dinsmore made
all haste possible and by the assist
ance of Ben Poole, the woman's BODY
was taken from the water and Dr.
Stanhope was soon summoned, who
pronounced life extinct.
It is thought that she was despond-
ent and was rapidly losing her mind.
Apparently her case is the same as
sister of hers, who committed SUICIDE
about four years ago by drowning her
self in a cistern in Foxcroft. M
Mrs. Bolton had a nephew in Brown
vile, a niece in Searspoff and also rel
atives in Dakota. She swas about 20
wears of age.

The Waterville e Oakland Road has
purchased a new stone crusher and is
planning to set it up at Gleason's. The
power will be furnished by an electric
motor and the rock will be gathered
from the country round about, crushed
and used for ballast on the road. 1t is
the present plan to give the whole line
rock ballasting. This with the heavy
rails and sleepers will doubtless make
it one of the best riding electric roads
in New England, while it will be prac-
tically free from dust in the summer
time The crusher is now on the ground
and it is expected will be in operation
before long.
