very little bearing on his case to
change the public sentiment as to
his guilt. The paper was read by
Rev. Mr.. Tappan. There Is rea-
son to believe he had hopes to the
last moment that he should be
reurieved. He was asked few
days ago why he did not eat his
breakfast as usual on the morn
ing of the death OF his wife: his
answer was that he noticed some
white power on the victuals. and
suspected it was poison. He was
asked, II he had such suspicion,
whv he permitted his wife to eat
without expressing his suspicious,
and he answered that he did not
wish to make a disturbance in the
family. His statements to the
Governor and Council and his con-
versations in prison. instead Of
raising doubts in their minds as
TO his guilt, only served to con-
Arm the business Of his sentence.
AFTER hanging about ~ minutes.
Dr Gage pronounced him to be
dead. when he was cut down and
his body carried to Hallowell with
great speed, where, we learn, at
fempts were made to restore 1t to
life by means of galvanism ana
other experiments, all OF which
were however fruitless. If his
neck were not broken, the spine
was no doubt SO injured as to de-
stroy life, apart from the strangu-
Iation. Such is the dreadful fate
of the murderer"
Imagine a paper of today treating
an important q matter in so BRIEF

into consideration that Mr.. Stevenson

shown since he has been chairman of

that he does not hold the dignity OF

We can't see any objection to the
placing of a sign on each of the city

APPLESAUCE FROM
EDGEWATER PARK

Applesauce is good-if you don't
get too much of it. Applesauce is
sweet, Applesauce is not substantial.
1t isn't "fillin", it doesn't stick to the
ribs, you couldn't do days work
on the strength of it, it isn't a brain
maker or a muscle maker. Apple
sauce is just-Applesauce
A big dish of it comes to us from
the people of Edgewater Park, who
are backing the movement to hold
the present fourth class post office at
that place,
We wonder if the people of Edge
water Park are giving the post office
question the right amount of consid-
Grafton or are just listening to hear
say around the cigar stores and
street corners?
In consolidating Edgewater Park
with the Beverly Post Office, many
hundreds of dollars would be saved
annually by the Government, and in
addition to this Beverly and Edge
water Park would get carrier service,
together with government building
at Beverly.
Is it true that we Americans are
such kindergarten lot that we have
to make a game of anything in order
to swing it?
Have we got SO low that Apple
sauce is life saver?
