Michael Povich was arraigned in the
Ellsworth municipal court yesterday after
noon, charged with liquor selling. County
Attorney Wood appeared for the State
ard D. E. Hurley for respondent. The
principal witness against Povich was
Michael England, now serving thirty
days jeil sentence for pocket peddling
England testified that Povich furnished
the liquor which he sold, buying it by the
gallon and putting it in pint bottles.
They divided the profits. The hearing
was adjourned until this afternoon to
enable respondent to summon further
witnesses.
B. f. Thomas, of the Ellsworth Shoe
Co., and Ray s. Hopkins, for the past few
months employed as superintendent at
the Union shoe factory, have secured an
agreement for the lease of the Union shoe
factory for term OF five years. They will
make an effort to raise in Ellsworth the
necessary capital to start the factory.
Both are experienced shoe men, Mr..
Thomas being strong at the selling end
and Mr. Hopkins an experienced man at
the manufacturing end. That Ellsworth
hopes to see the factory reopened goes
without question. No subscriptions to
stock have yet been solicited, pending
completion of plans Of organization. The
executive committee of the board of trade
will probably work in conjunction with
Messrs. Thomas and Hopkins, and the
people OF Ellsworth, it is believed, will give
the enterprise financial support 80 far as
they are able.

Sudden Death.

Edward B. Deacon, who lived al
Deacon's station, on the road between
Mount Holly and Burlington, died yester.
day morning, but whether by his OWE
hand or by accident has not been deter.
mined. DR.. Hall. who was called, was
inclined to the latter theory.
Mr.. Deacon arose early in the morning
and appeared to be cheerful. He gave
the usual instructions to his men and sal
down to his breakfast. When he had
finished he went to the kitchen door and
remarked that the crows were again
bothering him and he guessed he would
shoot them. He then went into another
room where he kept his gun.
In a moment there was loud report
and members of the family rushed into
the room to find Mr.. Deacon dead with a
hole in his head. The gun was still in his
hands. Beyond the fact that deceased
had been suffering with stomach trouble
for a long time there was apparently
nothing to cause him to commit the rash
act
He had been: under medical treatment
for some time and appeared to be i'm
proving steadily He was in Mount Holly
on Sunday attending the Baptist church.
Mr.. Deacon was 48 years of age and was a
son of the late Israel Deacon. He leaves
q wife and three daughters.

rria1 Of Postmaster MATHS.

Ogden Maths, postmaster at RivertoD
was placed on trial In the United States
court, at Trenton, on Thursday, on {
charge that has been held over him fol
nearly two years. 1t was that be haC
made returns in his dealings with the
government that were not correct anC
that he had sold stamps with the intention
of increasing his salary. A jury was
drawn but before any testimony was
taken, ex-Prosecutor Budd, who rep.
resented the defendant. asked permission
to enter a plea of non vult contendere,
with the privilege OF making statement
before sentence was pronounced. This
was granted.
Mr.. Budd called attention to the time
which had elapsed since the charges were
first preferred against Mr.. Maths and also
told the court that the former had retain
ed his position up to date, a statement
that caused one of the judges to make a
surprised exclamation. Mr.. Budd showed
that the acts of Mr.. Maths, instead of
being detrimental to the government, had,
in reality, saved it money, for. if he had
pursued different course the post office
would have been compelled to have free
delivery, something not needed for town
of the size of Riverton.
With reference to the sale of stamps the
increase came through dealings with the
nurseries of 81. A. Dreer & Co. This firm
is New Jersey corporation, having ex
tensiye greenhouses at Riverton, but with
an Office in Philadelphia. In payment for
their goods the firm frequently received
postage stamps of small denominations.
These they used to ship goods through
the Office and on one occasion member of
the firm spoke to postmaster Maths and
said he supposed the Riverton Office was
getting some benefit from the shipments
made that way. The postmaster said
there was nothing in that for him. and the
representative of the firm agreed to buy
the stamps for the catalogues that are sent
out yearly, and this was done.
This was about all there was to the case
and after a short consultation the court
imposed fine of $400, about the amount
that the postmaster's salary would have
been advanced by the sale of stamps.
There were several gentlemen in court
who were ready to pay the fine, but they
were informed that nothing but certified
check would do, and nobody was pre-
pared to give this. Marshal Thomas J.
Alcott solved the difficulty by giving his
personal check, which the court said
would be satisfactory, and the case was
ended.
