atances the threatening elements of a ascend
civil war! For years before the lest civil
war you had fire.eaters whose arrogance and
vanity knew no hounals ; who were advis
ed by the Canadian press to study the ele-
ments of discord in the South instead of
hankering or new onea lathe North. It e a
juat the name when years: before that
Georgia and Carolina appealed to arine and
defied the general Government. Surely two
threatened disruptions and one terrible civil
war in the history of the country should be
erough. But last Foneth of July I watt near
enough the "Reunion of the North and
South" on the battlefield of Gettysburg, to
see the ex -Confederates wearing the starred
and barred badge, 'with the inscription upon
it, 'That was the fin of treason and rebel-
lion in 1861, and it is the fin of treason and
and rebellion in 1888 " I read the protest
of General Wagner, General Gobin and
the QuartermaetenGeneial of the Grand

had been rebels. I heard one cfficer boast
het Southern privateers had destroyed

driven a quarter of a million tons of your
shipping to make trassfer to the British flag.
I heard another gloat over the fact that they
had nearly captured Philadelphia. I heard
scores deolare that they had not been beaten
but starved. Reflecting upon all this and
hearing at this very hour the discordant
echoes from that quarter; it strikes me that
if Senators like Mr. Blaine are sincere in
their effusive professions' of patriotism, they
could find a good deal to monopolize their
genius down there in Dixie without meddl-

fle beceme pater of an elpiscopal church at
Shirbrooke and won grew famous for hie fine
sermons. His sou Caarlie gam up, and his
daughter, biller modest way, was the admired
of all the male perishioners.
Foal years after hie arrival here Dr. Poweirs
wife died and left her fortune of $60,0e0 to
her eon and daughter, to be held in trust
until they became of age. rhe father was
made the trustee. Everything went on
smoothly, apparently, in the Powell family
except for a few months flve years ago when
some local exeitement was cenaerl by the
fact that Dr. Powell experienced a change
of faith and becune a Congregationalist, and
partly paid for a new church structure, in
which he preached the new doctrine.
In Angina 1883, Charley's twenty-first
birthday was to have occurred. On Dominion
Day, July 1, 1883, the Rev. Dr. Powell and
Charley want out on the river St. Fradeis for
a row. Do 'Powell returned at dusk, appar-
ently half crazy and unable to tell the muse
of his excitement until the next morning,
when he explained that Charley, in attemp.
ting to pass from one end of the boat to tha
other, had lost his balance, fallen overlioard,
and before his father could give him any help
had drowned. Charley's body was found the

O Lilly Powell would have been twenty-one
years of age on the 2.1 of Septemben last.
She then would have come into possession of
property thae ought to have been worth $35,-
000 allowing Inc the accumulation of fifteen
years. Two weeks befcre she went to the
Salvation Armymeeting, in which work she
was very ethusiastic, the Rev. Dr, Powell
called upon the Aliens and engaged board
Inc his daughter during july and August.
The footprints in the gravel bottom of the
millpond have been compared with a pair
ef George Allen's boots, and the latter were
found to fit the impressions exactly. The
detectives declare that they on prove Allen
and the woman to have been accomplices
in the murder of Lilly.
A week before Allen was taken into cus-
tody this last time there was a rumor that
he was to be arrested. Discussing it, he
made the remark : "11 I am ea -rested for
doing away with Lilly and anything serious
comes of it, I will have something to say
that will upset a good many high-toned
people in this part of the country."
Efforts are now being made to induce
Allen to explain this remelt, but he remains
Obdurate in hii: denial of any knowledge of
the murder. '
Powell has said nothing to anybody. He
ositively refuses to be interviewed, remain -
ng secluded in his house. His servants say
e is writing all the time and has his meals
brought to his room.
