acted largely upon advice of Grand
Duke Sergius, who is the most re-

HIS LAST PARADE.
George Lowell Of vassaiboro, Suddenly
Dies, After Memorial Day Exertion.

VassalbOro. Me-, Nay 31.-George
Lowell, aged 81 of Vassalboro, a vete-
ran Of the Civil War, r1ember Of the
Goth Maine, walked O1t tc Waterville
nine miles, yesterday morning, and at
tended the Memorial day services in
the afternoon, marching with the
veterans Of w. S. Heath Post, and then
walked back home.
He reached home about 9 o'clock,
went into the house and said to his wife
well, marin. I've seen another Men,
orial day and I guess it will be my last
one. I'm awfully tired aud haven't had
any supper"
Mrs. Lowell set about 10 prepare some
food for him. Mr.. Lowell was sitting in
a chair when he was seen to sway and
fall from the chair to the floor. He ex-
pired Immediately.
Mr.. Lowell was not member of
Heath Post or the post in Augusta, but
had been making a practice of walking
into Waterville or Augusta to attend
the Memorial day exercises. This year
he came to Watervilla. He left home
in his usual good health which has been
very good for years. 1t IS thought the
over-exertion brought on the sudden
attack which resulted in his death.
A widow and one son, the latter liv-
ing in Alpena, Mich, survive him.

Three Weeks Further STAY
Granted Mrs. Rogers.
Vermont Supreme Court Denies
Petition for Writ Of Errors.
Gov. Bell Grants Repriew TO Allow Appeal
to United States Court.

Montpelier. VT. May Ex-Governor
Charles J. Bell. today. granted second
reprieve to Mrs. Mary NJ. Rogers, who
is under sentence of death for the mur-
der Of her husband, Marcus Rogers. and
for whose execution on Friday Of the
current week preparations had been
adopted.
This second reprieve extends until
Friday. June 90. and it Is not believed
that Governor Bell will again exercise
executive clemency i'm behalf Of Mrs
Rogers. When the first reprieve was
granted. the governor said he would not
further interfere with the course of the
law. but as the question of the consti-
tutiOnal rights of the prisoner has been
raised by her counsel. Governor Bell
says he does not wish to have any
doubt unsettled.
The rerrieve was the result of con-
ference between Governor Eell and Mrs
Rogers counsel Immediately after the
decision of the supreme court had been
given, in which the court, standing five
to two. refused to certify to the writ
of error brought by the defence. Mrs
Rogers attorneys will now bring the
matter before one Of the justices Of the
United States supreme court. and ex-
pect an answer within The period of the
repreve.
Mrs. Rogers has not yet been inform
ed of her life extension. but will be told
by Supt. Lowell, of the state prison, to-
morrow morning.

Memorial day GRAFTON was delivered in
the Town hall. Tuesday evening, by
Rev. J. J. Hull of Lewiston. The pro-
gram was carried out before an un-
usually large and interested audience
Mr.. Hull was introduce ed to the audi
enCc in a few we'll chosen remarks by
Hon. Stanley Plummer
Mr.. Hull's address was one of the
best heard here for many years. At the
breaking out of the Civil war he was a
resident of Mississippi and he told in
plain language of the condition of the
South at that time and OF his assisting
slaves to escape across the lines into
Canada. He held the attention of the
large audience throughout his dis
course and there is no doubt but what
those present could have listened to
him for a much longer period.

Co. was also on hand with crew and
deied Pond and his crew from cutting
the boom. 1t is claimed that Manager
Violette carried rifle. which he load
ed, but no shots were fired. The New
Brunswick drivers retired without in
terfering with the boom.
a representative of the Van Buren,
Lumber Co, today, said his company
was III no way responsible for the lib
Grating of the three booms belonging
to Messrs. Pond and did not know who
cut them away.
The operations of the New Bruns-
wick corporation cover nearly the en-
tire river from the head of Big Rapids,
which is 30 miles above Fort Kent. to
Grand Falls, "a distance of about 100
miles. They are said to contend that
the two American companies have no
rights on the New Brunswick side of
the river and that they have delayed
the progress of their drives. The Amer
lean companies deny this, and say
there has been no delay of consequence.
1t is believed here the intention of
the New Brunswick companies is to
necesstate the bringing of legal pro-
ceedings in the New Brunswick courts.
No attempt has been made to interfere
with the booms of the st. John Lum-
Der co.
The total cut of the New Brunswick
corporation amounted to 100000 600
feet and it is estimated half of this
has been hung up by lack of water.
of the remainder about 25.00O.00O feet

workmen were erecting in another part
of the building. the Gallows on which
the woman's life was to end unless

which has been her attitude since TIL,
day of her Incarceration. and apparent

Although Supt. Lowell and the prison
officials do not really anticipate that

prcrara ton necessary is under way for
the carrying out of the penalty imposed
by the court.
Supt. Lowell of the state prison was
first Informed Of the intention Of Co..
Pcll to grant another reprieve in the
-ase by. press representative. He de-
;ided. however. not to inform Mrs.
Rogers until he had received an official
notification from proper officials.
The convicted woman has never been
told that the supreme court of the state
had refused the application Of her coun-
sci for a new trial. Supt. Lowell express
cd his desire to tell Mrs. Rogers of the
further reprievc as soon as it was
legally possible. Mr.. Lowell said that as
the time approached. Mrs. Rogers ap-
peared to he suffering from nervousness
and uncertainty as to the result of
