REVOLUTIONARY OFFICERS.
Sword of Bunker Hill Now Among
State Relics.

Contributed to The American by
Henry l., Moor)
Among the cherished relics of the
Revolution in the State house at Au
gusta is the Sword of Bunker HILL"
presented to the State by Associate
Justice Albert M. Spear of Gardiner.
The sword was carried at the battle
of Bunker Hill by Justice Spears
great great-grandfather, Major John
Moor. Major Moor was of the same
family as John Moor, the first settler
of that name in Ellsworth
The presentation of the sword to
the State was made by Justice Spear
through Governor Milliken and his
council some two years ago. Justice
Spear was armed with sword that
bore the traces of many years, and
even of use. He said but a few
words, but they held attention of
every person in the room, and were
followed by spontaneous and hearty
applause. He said in part:
Your Excellency and Gentlemen of
the Council | have here a sword
carried by Major John Moor at the
battle of Bunker Hill. He was my
great-great grandfather, and with
him was his son, Goffe Moor, my
great-grandfathe The sword has
been handed down through the fam
lily until it has come into my posses
sion and | feel that perhaps the State
might be a good custodian of such a
memento and relic, and in behalf of
the descendants of Major Moor,
take great pleasure in presenting 1t
through you, Your Excellency, to the
State of Maine.
Governor Milliken in accepting the
sword said: Judge Spear it is with
great pleasure that /, in behalf of the
council and the State, accept this
sword, your gift, and will state to
you that the committee on public
buildings will see that it is given
proper place and keeping in the State
House"
The inscription on the monument
to Major John Moor. erected Oct. 12,
1904,in the old Norridgewock ceme-
terry, where the remains of the Revo-
lutionary hero repose, is as follows:
major John Moor, 17311SO9. Pro-
NOTED June is, 1775, from rank of

r. w. JOSEPH WARREN.

Ou MdTCu D, L, night Noi snip
full Joseph Warren. esq.,, was ap-
pointed Grand Master of Masons for
the continent of America.
In 1775, the meetings of the grand
lodge were suspended, by the town
of Boston becoming a garrison.
At the battle of Bunker Hill, on
the 18th of June. this year, masonry
and the grand lodge met with a
heavy loss. in the death of Grand
Master Warren, who was slain, con-
tending for the liberties of his
country.
Soon after the evacuation of Bos-
ton by the British army, and previ-
Gus to any regular communication,
the brethren, influenced by a pious
regard to the memory of the late
grand master, were induced to search
for his body. which had been rudely
and indiscriminately buried in the
field of slaughter. They accordingly
repaired to the place, and by direc-
tion of a person who was on the
ground at the time of his burial, a
spot was found where the earth had
been recently turned up. Upon re-
moving the turf. and opening the
grave, which was on the brow of a
hill and adjacent to a small cluster
of sprigs, the remains were discov-
cred, in a mangled condition, but
were easily ascertained (by an arti-
fetal tooth); and being decently
raised, were conveyed to the state
house in Boston; from whence, by a
large and respectable number of
brethren, with the late grand officers,
attending in procession, they were
carried to the stone chapel, where an
animated eulogium was delivered by
Brother Perez Morton. The body
was then deposited in the silent
vault, without sculptured stone to
mark the spot; but as the whole
earth is the sepulchre of illustrious
men, his fame, his glorious actions,
are engraven on the tablet of uni
versal remembrance; and will sur
vive marble monuments or local in
scriptions."
COL. JOHN GREENE.
Col. John Greene came to Els
worth in 1887. He was born in
South Reading, Mass; was an officer
in the Continental army during the
Revolutionary war. He was in the
battles of Bunker Hill, Trenton,
Princeton, and many others Col.
Greenes regiment was with Gen,
Stark in the battle of Bennington.
The sword he carried in those battles
is now in the possession of a great
granddaughter living in Marietta,
Ohio. This record l got from my
grandmother, his oldest daughter,
Abigail, who married Benjamin JOY.
Col. Greene was cousin to Gen.
Nathaniel Greene of Revolutionary
fame.
l believe that Col. Greene was
buried in the old Congregational
burying ground on State street, Ellis
worth. but in an unfortunate and
careless desecration of this ground
by moving, some forty-five years
ago, many gravestones were mis-
placed and broken, and the grave of
Col. Greene, if there, is now un-
marked and cannot be located.
Many of his descendants are still liv-
ing in Ellsworth.

BRITISH YIELD POINT ON
ERIN. BAR SECESSION
Six Original Conditions Are Re-
ported Reduced TO Lone Bar
To BoIting Empire

J London, Sept. S.--The British
Cabinet has invited Eamonn de
Valera, Irish Republican leader, to
send delegates to conference with
the Cabinet Ministers at Inverness
September 90, according to the
Daily Mails Inverness correspond
ent, who adds:
"Only one condition is imposed
namely, the understanding that Ire
land must remain within the en-
pire."
The communication to Mr.. de Val
era, according to this dispatch, asks
for an early reply and points out
the apparent uselessness of conduct
ing negotiations by a further ex-
change of notes.
In order to allay any fears re-
garding Ulster the decision that
Northern Ireland must not in any
circumstances be coerced was re-
affirmed by the Ministers.
Dealing with the Cabinet meet
ing the Daily Mail says:
1.-THE Premier told the Ministers
that he regarded the situation as
grave and critical and he was con-
vinced that further interchange OF
notes was useless.
Plebiscite Plan Seen
"One Minister, who had been in
personal contact with Sim Fein
opinion, said he was informed that
it was the real intention of its lead
ers to secure plebiscite of the
Irish people after further ex-
change of notes and to insure that
such plebiscite resulted in a man.
date for a conference.
After the conflicting interpreta-
tions placed in Ireland and England
on the latest Sim Fein note were
referred to the Premier, he said It
was necessary to impose time lin
it and ascertain beyond doubt
whether the Sim Fein was prepared
to remain within the Empire. If
so, permanent settlement avs un-
donbtedly possible. 1t not, further
negotiations were useless. The
Cabinet, therefore, should make an
other effort to secure an agreement
on this point, with all the blessings
of peace to follow"
Thereupon the Ministers quickly
made up their minds and the deci-
sion and invitation conveyed in the
reply were unanimous. E.
