Members Of the commission de-

aoued to from time to time.
The sacrifice was the price exacted
by the jefe poiitico for the sacking
of the town which had occurred sew

The jefe politico was powerless to
resist the attack and, in retaliation,
ordered the slaughter, processing to
believe that in killing the people he
was furnishing the rebels.
The butchery began in the jail,

by the guards. Then citizens were
butchered. The people became so ter

were engulfed Adrianople suffered
little damage, but Tchorlu was partly
wrecked by the earthquake.
The center of the disturbance APP

the Dardanelles.

THE LAlE GEORGE BLODGETT.

Brief mention was made last week of
the death at his home in Bucksport,
March Sd, of George Blodgett, and a
fuller notice is due to his many friends
In this city and section: Mr.. Blodgett
was born in 1881, in the house in which
he died, and at his death was 80 years
and II months of age. He was the last
of family Of eight children born to Bliss
and Mary (Thurston) Blodgett. After
attending the town schools. he went to
Massachusetts and there fitted for COL
lege at Dummer academy in Byfeld and
at Phillips academy in Andover. He was
graduated from Williams college in 1857.
After his graduation he returned to
Bucksport and went into business with
his brother, John, in the store which had
been kept by his father.
In the fall of 1861 he enlisted as a pri-
vate in the 18th regiment of Maine in
fantry, and later became captain. His
regiment was stationed first at Ship Is
land, Miss, later went to Baton Rouge,
La, and later still was engaged in the
famous seige of Port Hudson. He was
one of the men who volunteered for 1.-The
forlorn hope" under General Banks to
storm the port, but the inevitable sacri-
flee was saved through the surrender of
the place. After two years service he
was mustered out.
In 1872 he went into the tanning bust
ness at the Darling tannery, where he
had continued in business until his death.
In 1889 he bought the old Steel COM
pany's works at Indian Point and started
a tannery business there. This plant
was gradually enlarged to its present
size. A short time ago the firm was in
corporated as the George Blodgett COM
pany, and the business of the company
will go on without interruption under the
management of the two sons, who were
associated with Mr.. Blodgett in the cor
poration.
Aside from being superintendent of
the town schools for time, Mr.. Blod-
gett never held any office in either town
or State. He always attended most
closely to his business, and by his close
attention, just dealings and sterling in
tegrity built up one Of the largest tan
ming businesses in the state. His only
other commanding interest was the Elm
Street Congregational church, of which
he had been a member from his youth,
and for great many years deacon, in
the latter office succeeding his brother
John and his father, to be succeeded in
turn by his eldest son. lie IS survived
by his wife, who was daughter of the
late Dr. Enoch Pond, and his two sons,
Benjamin P. and Fred. His second son,
George, and two daughters, died some
years since.
No one of Bucksport's business men
will be more missed than Mr.. Blodgett,
not simply because by his enterprise he
had built up business which employed a
large number of hands, but because of
his strict honesty, absolute fairness and
fidelity in all his dealings,
The funeral service was held Tuesday
afternoon, March 5th, when business was
generally suspended. Employees Of the
Blodgett tanneries attended in a body,
with G. A. R. veterans and business men
from Bangor. The bearers were Louis
H. Chandler, Walter B. Gardner, Archie
L. White and j. Robert Emery. Burial
was in Oak Hill Cemetery.
