The Sewall House. One of the Oldest
Historic Landmarks, Burned.
Woburn, Mass, April 26.—'—Word was
received here yesterday that the Sewall
HOuse at Burlington, one of the his-
toric landmarks in the town, had been
destroyed by fire. The Sewall House
was known in history as the dwelling
which sheltered John Hancock and
Samuel Adams April 19, 1775, after the
battle of Lexington.
It was owned by Samuel Sewall, who
inherited it from his father,_ Rev. Sam-
uel- Sewall. The house was .built by
Sergeant Benjamin Johnson in 1733.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
Many ancient relics were lost. Mr. Sew-
all and family barely escaped with their
lives. The financial damage will be sev-
eral thousand dollars.
He Gets Another Chance.
Atlanta, April 26. —A profound sensa-
tion has been created here by the an-
nouncement that Harry W. Casein,
cashier of the Georgia. Loan, Savings
and Banking company, had misappro-
pria ted some $45,000 of the funds of that
institution. The friends and relatives
of the young man have made up the
shortage, and the bank will not lose-a.
dollar of the sum stolen. Young Casein
will not be prosecuted. His connection
with the bank has ceased, and he will
begin life anew in Atlanta.
Two of the Crew Lost.
ing schooner Lizzie Griffin has arrived
from the grand banks with 'her flag at
half mast for the loss of two of her
crew on April 10 while hauling trauls.
The missing men were Edward Wil-
liams and John Pettitow, both, of
Gloucester. They were young men and
unmarried. Every effort was made to
find them, but the dense fog prevented
the crew from locating them, and they
probably drifted out to sea.
Klietz Still Missing.
Highland Falls, N. Y., April 26.—The
unaccountable absence since last Tues-
-day of Contractor George L. Klietz con-
tinues to be the prevailing topic of con-
versation here. It is now learned that
after purchasing a. ticket for Newburg,
a train for New York came along, and
he got aboard the platform of the rear
car, and the theory is advanced that
perhaps he was seized with a. sudden
spell of mental derangement.
Editor 'Ingalls Dead.
Watertown, N. Y., April 26.—Hon.
Lotus Ingalls, the oldest newspaper
editor of northern New York, died at
his residence in this city. He was born
in this county in 1818. He was admit-
ted to the bar in 1845. As an editor he
espoused the'temperance cause and a
reform in the assessment laws. It was
due to his advocacy that a state board
of assessors was created. In 1875 he
was elected to the assembly.
Spalding In Jail.
Chicago, April 26.—Charles W. Spald-
ing, president of the Globe Savings
bank and treasurer of the University
of Illinois board of trustees, is in jail on
order of Judge Dunn of the. circuit
court, who was dissatisfied with the
bond given by Spalding on the occasion
of his arrest. a. few days ago on the
charge of embezzlement preferred by
the university alumni.

‘A Ceremony In Boston Which Recalls the
. ,1 Famous Rider. .
Four years ago the First Church of
Plymouth fell a prey to flames, and-
the old town bell, which had swung in
the tower for three generations, ring-
lng for public celebrations and sound-
ing the 9 o ’clock curfew nightly in ac-
cordance with the ancient custom, fell
Into the smoking ruins and was bad-
iy broken.
A new stone church now stands on
the site where the old edifice stood.
and by a vote of the town the bell
has been recast. The church tower
has "just reached completion and the
bell was hoisted in position. It rang
1: o’clock curfew for the first time since
:he fire, and the event was marked by.
1 simple service.
Th original bell Was cast by Paul Re-
vere in 1801. It swung in the towers
of two churches, the one latelyde-
atroyed. and which was built in» 1834,
and its predecessor. The recast bell
is slightly heavier than the old one.
ind its tone is‘remarkably sweet and
near.
