"No 5 or 6J I think" says Mrs She had quite large hands Her hair wit blaok and she was rather good looking She had beautiful tectb and they were her own too Her full name was Mary Elizabeth LowelL I think she was 28 or 80 yean old" she "Bather I should say she was about my Mrs is quite ft tall woman "Do you know anything about Lowell!" "I know where he is He married a girl named Turner sinoe his wife disappeared and he lias left town 0 you know Lowell was tried for stealing Mrs McDonald's hay but I never beard what the result was" "Mrs 'Burton" continues Mrs Murray "when she was here saw ft Mr Harlow on Main street He said to Mrs got Liz-muff: we swapped watohes and Lowell paid me the muff to boot' Mrs took things borne with her but said Lowell had carried off ft good bed that she loaned to her daughter" think" continued Mr "that Lizzie bad on a white silk hat hat little jewel She left most of her jewelry except her ear ornaments on the table in her room Because she left so much jewelry behind made me think she meant to come back again" "Do you remember what sort of buttons Lissie wore on her seek think they were big crochet buttons" says irtrs "Gan you tell anything of the style of the laoe trimming on Lizzie's arms were trimmed and the waist also in the form of a cape" replies Mrs rhe dress foundcn the skeleton has suoli trimmings "Tho velveteen" she continued "was trimmed with beads" 'A WonJerfU Dream Mrs Murray oontinues: "I bad a letter some months ago from Mrs Burton in which she said that she had a remarkable dream She says she dreamed that sbe saw Lizxic in the woods near Barker' Mills on her knees begging for life Her hands were uplifted and she was saying: kill me don't kill me but says Mrs it seemed in my dream that somebody killed her and buried her there' This dream is quite remarkable considering the subsequent 'disclosures It seems' ibat Mrs Burton when in this city seeking some cine to bgp daughter's disappearance drove out beyond Barker's Mills to the house of her husband's father Same Interextins Lcttefa At a second interview on Friday with Mrs Murray she produces some letters vrhish she has found since the interview previous Ws quote Mr M's conversation few months ago Mr Lowell wrote Mrs! Barton without naming where he was at the Mrs shows Lowell a kpr sent her by Mra Buriob The lettA states that he has had a letter from Lizzie and that she wanted to oome and live with him again but be adds that he tuuL written her that he oome and that be shouldn't think she would expect him to come after he had treated her aoi He eloeed by saying that he was going away to work This letter was rather badly spelled and Wrttfen and Is signed LowelL I wss enclosed to Mrs Murray in a letter datec May 8d from Mrs- Bin Burton then wrote Mrs as follows: "Do you hear any thing about poorMaiy (Mrs LowelL) I believe it will kill nie 1 want to oome to Lewiston but 1 ean't affordit If she bodlbeena living I know I should hpte heart from her It haunts me by day and by VDo you know anything aga'nstMri Lowell's character asked onr reporter" "Nothing Mrs Mr replied "I beliete she woman Mrs fold me she ihooght differently but I never believed it' MnrJoneswho tired aeirtiifrbftrAjiar or two state that she thought Mrs Lowell and her tiusbajxl didnot lira happily togethcr And intimates that she thought neither was especially I amiable! I "The ui uay after Lizzie disappeared" Mrs DPd her given name "Lfosfo Here howevtr Mr4Murray shows a letter signed jameB Lowell in which the word Lizzie is spelled "Liiza" What Naztt It is not strange that the developments thus for made require the presence iu Lewiston ef James LottelL It seems oertain that three years ago last June Mrs James Lowell mysteriously disappeared from this vicinity and unless her ns baud knows of her whereabouts it does not appear that anybody knows 80 for as at present shown she was last seen with her husband who accounts for her disappearance as already stated As he olaims to have heard from her since her disappearance it may be that he can shed some light on her preseut whereabouts if living On the contrary her friends here think her dead and believe that ths head leas skeleton is her remains Arrest As soon as developments were made Coroner Brooks advised the -City Marshal of the foots That officer telegraphed offioer Wiggin of this oity tn route for Lawrence and intercepted him Offioer proceeded to Lowell Mass where Mr was at work and arrested him Thursday evening The officer had no requisition neither was he aware of the nature vf the oharge preferred but Lowell made no oLjeotion and said he would oome to Lewiston without any requisition Lowell was taken to Lawrence and put in oiu tody Thursday night Offioer Wiggin telegraphic for instructions and the reply was returned "Bring Lowell to Lewiston" Be ClUMKffea'lila Mind At 8 Friday City Marshal Richardson received from Offioer Wiggm the following dispatch "Lawrence Mass Lowell n-flucs to come unless he is informed what he is arrested for" The City Marshal having just returned from Augusta with a requisition in his pocket for Lowell's return to Maine left in the 4:15 train Friday-for Lawrence and will return with the prisoner on the 8 traiu Saturday Meantimo a preliminary examination will probably be had soon and a fair opportunity given the prisoner ta explain the mystery if ae oan or relieve fCjumself from the grave suspicions resting upon nim should they prove to be unfounded in feet Ordination and Installation Mr A Tinker on Thursday was ordained as a mill is ter of the gospel and installed as pastor of the High St Congregational Church Au-rarn An ecclesiastical counoil met at 2 composed as follows: Rev Hinoks Port-and Rev A Dunning Boston Rev LZ Ferris and Rev Wm Warren Gorham Rev L-Goodrich and Wm Millett West Au-um Rev Balkans and Cobb Lcw-ston Rev Z-Ferris was chosen moderator and lev Goodrich scribe The candidate was then examined on experience and doctrine The examination being satisfactory 'the service of installaticn was appointed at 7:80 In the evening the audience room of the High Street Church was crowded The church was beautifully decorated with vines and flowers After a voluntary by the choir the minutes of the council were read by Rev Mr Goodrich seribe Rev A Dasoomb offered prayer and scripture was read by Rev Mr Goodriob An able sermon was then delivered by Rev Hinoks of Portland We give a very irief sketch Text 12th John 28th and 29th verses: "Father we glorify tby etc There is here a two-fold interpretation of the divine life The same division still parts the minds of Christendom Some now sec in Christ nothing hut a human blossom others see him coming from Heaven 8ouie see in the Bible truth on a higher level than in any other book Others are in this book only a compilation of ancient literature a creation of human imagination There is a change of eharaoter which we daily obsetve things whioh were once repulsive now hold one by a deep tesoination rhe Bible is a new book Some see iu this obange something supernatural in answer to the ory ef faith feme men oall this ohange regeneration Others call it and say the man is not new creature but an old one tiying to do better Why should men see different things looking at the same object The reason is in ourselves Some common mental feature belongs to one class whioh is wanting in the other It is not an intellectual difference Men of great acuteness and attainment have discorded the Bible although generally the greatest minds have accepted the Christian frith The1 reason of this difference lies in the feeling not in the talent Some men care and others care not for their highest self One class has no sense of the deep need Such men only care to feed the superficial part of their nature Other men labor under a sense of having a soul they occupy their whole being They feel the need of being harmonised with moral universe It was not the wise nnd prudent to whom the revelation came bat to tbe humble in response to a longing No man will starve to death because dou blful if some strange food will nourish him The Bible was not given to satisfy mere curiosity and it is not strange that' those who seek to satisfy a groping inquisitiveness go away without gratification Infidelity is not a misapprehension of evidence it is a sdf-aatisfactiota Intellectual error grows out of this state of mind The mind works wroogly because iff' the unbelief Its origin is in the temper of the souL Tbs'" present age is
