FOUL PLAY?
AdeImonl ampher's Disappear
ance Causes Great Anxiety.
Not Seen at Portland Since First Of
February.
Mans Sister Believes That He Has
Been Murdered.

Portland, Me, April 27.-Acquaint-
ances of Adelmon Lampher. formerly
engineer on the steamer Nina and Liz
Zie. have abou given up hopes of ever
seeing him again. 1t will be recalled
that about the first of last February,
Lampher disappeared and since that
time not Il trace of his whereabouts has
been discovered. ..
The firm of G. A. Wyer e. Co., Gus
tom House wharf, has just received a
letter from Mrs. Amelia West of Stock
ton Springs. Lampher's sister and only
relative, asking that his effects be sent
to her. Mrs. West inclines to the be-
lief that her brother has met with foul
play and this view of his disappearance
is shared by many. There are others
who believe he left these parts for rea-
sons best known to himself. So far az
known there was nothing in his bust
ness or private affairs detrimental to
his character. He was very quiet, I'M
assuming man, we'll liked by his as
sOciates.
About February Lampher was sent to
Fore street shop for a piston for the
steamer Nina and Lizzie which was at
Jonesport. The steamer had met with an
accident to her machinery and the piston
was to be taken to Jonesport by Lam
pher and temporary repairs made sufli-
Gent to bring the steamer to Portland 1t
was midwinter and the weather was very
cold and severe and it is thought by some
that 1-ampher was nervous about comin:
down the coast in tho steamer when sh,.
was not in AL condition. At any rate
he got the piston and took the train for
JoncsI ort. That was the last that was
ever heard or seen of him
"A strange thing is that the piston ar
rived all right, it having been shipped
by express from Bangor. which would
seem to indicate pretty conclusively that
I.ampher had taken it as far as that CITY
This fact indicates that H. knew lie was
not to continue to Jonesport and gives
ground Cor the theory that his absence
is voluntary. 1t is Il strange disappear
ancc to say the least.

Jewish descent, and wrote in both
Russian and Yiddish. He has recent
ly died.
Hated we are. and driven from our
homes,
Tortured and prosecuted, even to

And wherefore? 'Tis because we love
the poor,

We are shot down, and on the gallows
hanged,
Robbed of our lives and freedom, with.
out ruth,
Because for the enslaved and for the
poor
We are demanding liberty and truth.
But we will not be frightened from our
path
BY darksome prisons or by tyranny:
We must awake humanity from sleep,
Yea, we must make our brothers glad
and free.
Secure us fast with letters made Of
iron,
Tear us like beasts of blood, till life
departs.

stroy,
Never the sacred spirit in our hearts.
You cannot kill it, tyrants of the
earth!
Our spirit is a plant immortal, fair;
Its petals. sweet of scent and rich of
hue,
Are scattered wide, are blooming
everywhere.
In thinking men and women now they
bloom,
In souls that love the Eight and righte-

AS they strive on toward dutys sacred
goal,
Nature herself doth their endeavor
bless:
To liberate the poor and the enslaved
Who suffer now from cold and hun
gers blight,
And to create for all humanity
A world that shall be free, that shall
be bright;
A world where tears no longer shall be
shed,
A world where gultless blood no more
shall flow,
And men and women, like clear-shining
stars,
With courage and with love shall be
aglow.
You may destroy us, tyrants, Twill

For we shall battle ever, on and on,
Nor cease to strive till all the world
