final hour when the list lifted out of its
early lethargy to the accompaniment of
two points occurred in that brief period,
chiefly in the shares of the Eastern rail-
roads, which gave rise to renewed ru-
mors of an early announcement in the
perfecting of the freight rates. For the
greater part of the session the price
movement was irregular on a minimum
of dealings. Specialties were again con-
spieuous by their unexplained gains of
two to four points, and the Gould shares

tors which counted in the close.

AIonzo |. Farrar.

In the death of Alonzo L. Farrar,
agea 100 years, which occurred June
2. another old landmark from one of
the Oldest families in town has been
removed. He was the Youngest son of
the late Wooster and Etmira (Clarke)
Farrar and was born at Razorville
April g. 1S4i.
He enlisted in September. 1862, in
the 21st Regiment, Co. F., Maine Vol
unteers and served throughout the
war. AS many young men did before
going into the army, he Joined the old
Hiram Abiff Lodge of Masons at this
place and was transferred after the
old Lodge run down to Riverside
Lodge at jefferson. After returning
from the war he was married to Addie
O. Hoax of this town Jan. 2, 1868, and
two children, Herbert f. Farar and
Mrs Lottie Jones survive him. Both
son and daughter are married and live
in this town. He is also survived by
four sisters, Mrs. Mary Bowler OF Pa
lermo Center, Mrs. Hannah Dolliver of
Union. Mrs Melissa Poor of Greeley,
Col, and Mrs. Carrie Clark of this
place; two brothers, Edward w. of
Thomaston and James W. Fariar of
this place.
He was member of Erskine Post
Whitefeld Ne. "a, G.. A. r.. and a
member of the First Baptist church Of
this place. He was always a staunch
Republican, voting for Abraham Lin
coin for the first time and for every
Republican President since. In business
he was mllman and owned and op-
Grated the Farrar Mill (se-called) as
| long as he was able. He also owned a
farm which he WAS very deeply inter-
ested in and did his last work on earth
there only a few days previous to bis
death. He had been in poor health for
the past three years, having very Ill
turns for several days at a time and
then would rally and get around again,
each time becoming weaker and weak
er, and had it nos been for his iron
will would have given up long ago. To
say he will be greatly missed does not
express even in small degree the feel
ings of his many friends.

the Legislature that when l had what
l considered sufficient evidence, |
should submit the sheriffs of Penob-

Sagadahoc counties. but they did not

I desired to submit to them and i'm
mediately filed impea ehment proceed
ings against each. You know the re-
suit All were impeached except the
sheriff of Knox county, who played
the small pox trick on the Legislature
which took the responsibility for null

Our laws give the Governor no au-

them TO the Legislature for impeach-

If the sheriff of your county is not
doing his duty, the people of your
county will not return him to office
in the election which is near at hand,
for l am sure the majority of the peo-
pie of your county believe in the hon
est enforcement of the prohibitory
law.
If your complaint against him is
made purely for political purposes and
is untrue, it will undoubtedly help to
re- elect him.
Your controversy is evidently with

whatever in the premises.
Very truly yours,
