Death of Char. A Hin.

harles A Hill, one OF the oldest and
most highly respected business men of
Watsrville, died very suddenly at his
livery stable on Mechanic square, just
off East Temple street, yesterday after
noon at 40 o'clock, aged &c years.
Mr.. Hill had appeared in his usual
health during the day, but after return
ing from drive about o'clock, was
stricken with apoplexy from which
death resulted in less than two hours.
Mr.. Hill was made AZ comfortable as
possible on lounge in the office, and
DIR. Edward w. Boyer was summoned
but nothing could be done to save the
life of the unfortunate man.
As it was not considered advisable to
remove the sick man to his home, the
members of the household. including
Mrs Hill, Mrs Barney, a sister of Mr..
Hill, and Miss Adelaide Smith, a niece,
was summoned to the stable, remaining
by his side until the end
Charles A. Hill WAS born in Skowhe-
gall dtOn 1OOOs OOluR Ollt vi Lu6
eight children of Greenleaf and Mehit-
able (Spaulding) Hill. When quite
young he was taken into partnership
with his father in the clothing business
and later opened livery stable in his
native town. In 1879 he removed his
business to Waterville. i'll stable on
upper Main street. from which he after
ward moved to the present location on
Mechanic Square. ln business he was
one of the most highly respected men
IN kennebec county, and his several en-
terprises were attended with financial
success.
His first marriage was to Miss Jennie
Dealey of Skowhegan, who di about
II years ago, a sister of Mrs X. E. Clark
In 1892 Mr.. Hill was again married, his
second wife being Mary (Shorey) Jor-
dan, widow of Edward Jordan of Wat
erville MIR. Hill was always a devoted
lover of his home and family and his
greatest pleasure WAS always to be at
home. dis sudden demise is terrible
shock to the widow, who WAS entirely
unnerved when called upon by report
er, last evening. Besides the widow
MIR. Hill is survived by two sisters, Mrs
Dorcas Barney of Waterville ana Mrs.
Emma Smith of New York
At the breaking out of the Civil War
Mr. Hill did not hesitate in Offering his
services to help preserve the Union He
was the first man TO enlist in Somerset
county, and went out as first lieutenant
of Company F., Sd Maine Infantry.
After two years of hard service at the
front, Lieutenant Hill was given fur.
Tough to return home on account of his
health, which had been failing for sew
eral months. A short time later, when
he considered himself strong enough to
60 on duty he started TO join his com
pany, but was taken Ill III New York
and had to return home.
In politics Mr.. Hill WAS life long
Democrat, and staunch supporter of
his party. He was member of the

Committed to Jail.

jeremiah Brown OF Athens was arrest
ed by deputy Z. Il. Cook of that place,
Saturday, on a warrent sworn out by
Sheriff Clyde II. Smith, and brought be-
fore Judge Bachelor in the SkowhegsD
municipal court on Monday. He WAS
charged with selling cider, and being adj
Judged guilty he was sentenced to 80
days Imprisonment and committed to
Somerset Jail.
II also fell 10 the lot of Sheriff Cook to
arrest Nelson 4. knight Of Bingham in
that town, Monday, on charge OF steal
ing a watch from Mary Brown, wife of
Jeremiah Brown above mentioned, and
bring him before Trial Justice Charles
Dore at Athens on Tuesday morning.
Knight was found guilty and sentenced
to go days in Jail.
Fred A. Wentworth OF Canaan appesy.
ed before Justice DOre as witness in
case Of State VS. knight just referred to,
and the authorities thought it good
time to take him into custody on the
charge OF vagrancy and non-support OF
his family. The hearing before Justice
Dore, Tuesday afternoon, resulted in q
sentence of so days and he and Kuight
were brought to Skowhegan and COM
mitted, Tuesday evening.
Ii may be OF interest TO state in this
connection that Nelson E. Knight is a
son of William Knight, who not many

Public Hearing

The first public hearing of the special
committee appointed by the town to
make Investigations relative TO a NUM-

afternoon in Hartwell Hall. Fire De.

votes can be passed at this meeting with

ing upon the town but the committee
count much upon such expressions of
opinion as may be made to guide them
in completing their investigation and it
is important that the hearing tie largely
attended
Grange hall is now >ko Shegsn's
largest auditorium which may be used
for general purposes. This has a seat
ing capacity of 4s0 and is exceeded by
the Gerald Opera House in Fairfield and
Union Hall in Pittstield which seat 800
and $50 respectively. 1t would only be in
keeping with our position as shire town
of Somerset county for us to have the
largest public audience room but we are
in the third position in this respect at
the present time. Within the past fe W
years we have had town meetings when
from 100 to 1000 voters we're present,
and we have no place at the present
time where such gathering could tran
sact business 1t therefore seems i'm
perative that some action be taken and
the question is worthy the careful
thought of all our citizens.
AS has already been announced, plans
and prices of lots will be submitted to-
gether with sketches of such buildings
as the committee think the town will
wish to consider. Statistics assembled
by the committee showing how other
towns and cities in Maine are furnished
with public buildings of this character
will be laid before the meeting and the
fullest discussion invited on every phase
OF the question.

In Washington.

The past week has been rather a dull
one ia Congress. Senator Hale of Maine
has presented a resolve calling for the
construction of one first class armored
cruiser, of not more than 14,500 roDs
trial displacement. carrying the heaviest
armor and most powerful armament for
vessel of its class TO have the highest
practicable speed and great radius of
action, and to cost, exclusive of armor
and armament, not exceeding s. 900, 600
and that the vessel shall be named icon.
stitution."
resolution was presented in the
Senate and referred to the committee on
foreign affairs, making general declar-
alton against interference on the part of
the government of the United States in
any controversy among European ma
tions concerning their international
affairs
President Roosevelt is preparing to
send to OngIess a message which will ia
vor lock canal. The message will favor
the construction of a lock canal on the
ground that it is in the interest of the
present generation and not for posterity,
and that it can be built at less cost of
time and money.
In the House, Mr. Littlefied of Maine
has a bill appropriating $25,G 600 for a
monument to General Henry Knox, the
first secretary Of war.
General debate ON the Philippine tariff
bill was concluded in the Hsuse, Mon
day, having been in progress daily since
January 4. The bill will be taken up
for amendments under the five minute
rule. There are rumors of a compro-
mise on the question, but nothing de-
finite has been settled.
The Philippine tariff bill was passed by
the House Tuesday, substantially as it
came from the ways and means com
mittee. The vote was 258 to II. The
bill admits goods, the growth or pro.
duct of the Philippines, into the United
States free of duty except sugar, tobac-
co and rice, on which tariff of rs per
cent. of the Dngley rates is levied 1t
provides that after April IL, 1909, there
hall be absolute free trade each way
between the United States and the Phil
ippine Islands. 1t exempts Philippine
goods coming to the United States from
the export tax OF those islands. Mer
chandise from either country is subject
to the internal revenue tax of the coun-
try in which such merchandise is with
drawn for consumption.
The many amendments which were
launched and went to pieces in the
storm of debate and against the rock
which the House committee on rules
constituted, left much legislative wreck
age, and many records only useful for
future political purposes.
The passage of this bill shows that
the republican party continues to be.
lieve in fair dealing with the Philip
pines.
