FIVE SHOTS. A Bath Son Shoots His Mother While Under the Influence of Liquor. Four of the Shots Take Effect. Seriously Injuring the Helpless Woman Recovery Doubtful. Bath, May 7. •lames Hodgdon of Bath, who has been in a drunken spree for several days, woke up Thursday morning, and found his breakfast not ready. In an angry fit he went to the sleeping room of his mother, up stairs, and ftund her in bed. He discharged five shots from a revolver, two of which took effect in her head. Hodgdon then went to the attic and said he would shoot the first man who approached, but was captured and put in the lockup. He is a middle aged man. Second Dispatch. Thursday morning, about G o’clock, Ira Hodgdon, father of James, arose and was building the fire. James shortly after got up and went into the room where his mother lay in bed, with a revolver in his hand. He asked how she felt this morning. She answered not very well. He said, “I never felt better ir. my life,” and commenced shooting at her,and fired at her three times, one bullet striking her on the forehead over the left eye. She raised her body up and put out her hand to guard off another bullet, when he fired twice more and the shots broke two fingers on her left hand. His father came into the room on hearing the first shot, and said, •‘James,what are you doing?” He dreamily said, “I have killed her, ain’t it too bad?” His father became frightened and ran out in the street, and James went into his room, when Mrs Hodgdon, whom it seems was left totally unprotected, badlv wounded and weak from the loss of blood, got up and sought ref uge at one of the neighbors,leaving the house without any Bhoes on. The pdlice arrived on the scene in a short time, and Officer Kittredge went to the door, and was invited to come up stairs by James, who was standing at the top of the stairs, Pointing a Revolver kt Him. Kittredge stepped back to the street, and on seeing James go into the room, rushed up stairs. On entering the room, James made a grab for the revolver, which was on the table, but Kittredge was too quick for him, and obtained possession of it and also of a knife and a pint of whiskey. He went quietly to the station house, but was anxious to know “if he had shot anyi body,” and “where all the blood came from in the room.” His questions were evaded by the officers. On his arrival at the police sta tion, he apparently forgot all about the affray and will not say anything about it, and is very anxious to know what he is confined there for. Hodgdon has been for the past three days on a drunken spree. After he had shot his mother,he went into the front room and reck lessly fired his revolver several times. A Physician Summoned. ])r. J. B. Wescott was summoned and is attending the victim of the shooting, and this forenoon, accompanied by Dr. E. M. Fuller, called and dressed the wounds. Dr. Wescott said the bullet in the face struck one-half an inch above the bridge of the nose and went into the inner table of the skull. This bul let was removed. The uther two shots struck the left hand and broke two fingers and dam aged two other fingers. This noon, Hodgdon was gradually recov ering from the effects of his spree, and re membered the occurrence on being told it by the doctor. He complains about his head. The examination will be suspended until he is considered to be in a fit state to testify. Hodgdon is unmarried and is about 38 years of age. He is a seaman, His mother said that he “was her best boy.” She does not mention the sail affair, unless asked by the doctors. Mrs. Hodgdon has been restored to con- i sciousness and may recover. Slim Chance for Recovery. Mrs. Hodgdon who was shot by her son this forenoon, is failing. The chance for her recovery is slim. SERIOUS CHARGE. Attempt to Commit Rape upon ho Eight year-old Girl in Hath. Bath. May 7. Fred Dolly was arrested, Wednesday even ing, on complaint of Mr. Mulligan for alleged rape upon a little-eight-year-old girl, which was alleged to have been committed Tuesday evening at a room on Front street occupied by Doll# He says the charge i9 false.that she was on the street and asked him for ten cents to buy a hoop which a little boy broke. He did not have the money in his pocket and went into his room to get it. She followed him in, and when she went out got lost in the entry and commenced crying. He heard her and showed her the way to the street. Dolly was arraigned before Judge Millay in the afternoon for assault with attempt to commit rape. He was discharged. The evidence was not sufficient to secure convic tion. Death ol a tinngnr Citizen. Bakgor, May 7. Edward P. Baldwin, a retired merchant of this city, died this evening; aged 79 years.

FOREIGN NEWS ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. Russia Continues to Make Ready ior War— Arrangements for an Australian Nary—Lord Randolph Churchill Indig* nant— Report that England Has Made a Complete Surrender to Russia. London, May 7. Lord Randolph Churchill, addressing a conservative meeting in London last night, complained that the shelving of the Komarofl incident was effected under a ridiculous pre tense of arbitration, lie protested against tbe remov'd of the commission on the fron tier delimitation to London to be dealt with by imbeciles in the foreign office. Russia, he said, bad always objected to tbe presence of Gen. Sir Peter Lumsden, and deliberately insulted him in the face of all Asia by not sending Gen. Selonev. Russo-Afghan com missioner, to meet him. No* the govern ment had gratified Russia by recalling Gen. Lumsden. The English people were being humbugged into national and imperial ruin. The vote of credit, like the resolution to smash the Malidi, is all a sham. Tbe min isters, he said, were not thinking of the country's interests, but of the general elec tion. They were election agents—not states men. It was time tor the Tories to endeavor to bring about a change in tbe advisers of the crown by refusing supplies. The Daily News says it is authorized to deny that Russia lias stipulated that England shall not occupy Port Hamilton. The News believes that Russia lias offered England positive assurance that she lias no intention j of taking possession of Herat. Gen. Lurnt den is expected to arrive in London the first I week in June. St. Pktersbiro, May 7. j There is no appearance here ot anv abate ment in warlike preparations. The mobiliz ing of rifle battalions in Finland still contin ues. London, May 7. The Standard says that Earl Dufferin’s official account of the Rawal-Pindi Dubarlias not yet arrived. Fehtni Pasha, special Turk ish envoy, is about to return tu Constantino ple. The progress of the negotions between Earl Granville and Bsron De Staal, tends to a simple declaration by Russia that she is ready to submit to arbitration, failing con cord, in the interpretation of tbe convention of Marcli 17. The probability of an actual reference to arbitration is remote. M. Lessar will go to St. Petersburg next week and thence to tbe Afghan frontier. The English Afghan commission will be reduced to a small detachment of engineers and sen try corps. Mklbocrnk, May 7. Negotiations have been opened with the admiralty at London, in reference to the formula ot the Australian navy. The scheme is approved by the admiralty. London, May 7. The opinion is gaining ground, both here and on the continent, that the government arrangement is in a word—a complete sur render to Russia of all points she has de manded. Earl Granville, in tbe House of Lords this afternoon, replying to a motion by the oppos ition for the production by the government of the papers in the Russian controversy, used the following language “I do not believe that if England was going to wage war against Russia, we should wage it at a disadvantage and with every advantage in favor of Russia.” Lord Granville denied that the govern ment's military policy bad been a constant failure, and denied tiiat Russia would go to Herat. l lie motion tor the production of the papers was then withdrawn. London, May 7. Lord Kandolph Churchill is to be made the hero by the conservatives for the attack upon the government's management of the Afghan affair. A movement has been started already to secure the presentation of the freedom of the city to the voung Tory leader, “in recog nition of his services to the British nation and the Indian Empire.” London, May 7. Gladstone, replying to questions in the House of Commons this afternoon, said that although on the receipt of the first telegrams giving an account of it, he had described the Penjdeh affair as an act of unprovoked ag gression, still he had never presnined that the facts in his possession when he made that statement were unquestionable. As a matter of fact, within $4 hours afterwards, the news containing important qualifications of that first received had come to hand. Kussia had denied that Col Alikhamoff had ordered the Turkomans under his command to make any attack. The report that Col. Clikhanoff had issued such an order was made to England by Capt. Yates and his party who belonged to the Sir Peter Lumsden boundry commission and who were in Penjdeh during the battle; but it had been ascertained that neither Capt. Yates nor any of his party were aware of any other foundation than that ol rumor. Continuing, Gladstone said that Lord Duf ferin had arranged with the Ameer of Afghan istan the basis upon which the British gov ernment had so far proceeded in the frontier affair. Being asked if Lord Duflerin, as viceroy of India, approved of the government’s course toward Kussia in the Afghan dispute, Gladstone refused to sav whether he did or not. London, May 7. The Morning Post asseYts that Earl I)uf ferin has resigned his position as viceroy of India in consequence nt the disastrous effect upon the British prestige in India of Glad stone's policy. ALL HIS OWN W AY. I A liurglar Knter the House of a Miluau- kee Millionaire and Cany OH the Cash and Jewelry. Milwaukee, May 7. A bold burglary was committed at the resi-1 dence of C'has. Kay, the millionaire, early this morning. An experienced cracksman j visited the house, cut all telephone, telegraph and burglar alarm wir s and tlu n cut his way through the rear door. All the tamiiv plate, etc., was in the vauit and could not be reach ed. After searching the lower part of the house the masked robber visited the servants’ i quarters and awakened two girls who were in the room. He held a revolver at their heads and made them go down stairs and call Mrs. Kay, teiling her they were sick. When Mrs. Kay opened the door the burglar told her if she uttered a word he would blow her brains oat. She was bidden to call her husband and the burglar made the women stand in a line under the penalty of death if moved. When Kay came he was ordered to get all his cash i and jewelry, which he did, the burglar cover- ing him with a revolver. Jewelry and money 1 amounting to nearly 81000 was handed to the robber, which be pocketed and then -be made Kay escort him to the front door and let him out. Then the alarm was raised but the thief had taken the 3 o’clock train for Chicago and escaped. GEN. GR ANT. He Rested Well U<l Night—A Report Which the Medical Record Will t'ontaia. New York, May 7. Gen. Grant slept seven hours last night. At 10 A. M. he took bit pad and pencil and began the arrangement of notes for hia next dictation. The next number of the Medical Record will contain the following During the past week Gen. Grant’s bodily health has much improved, and he has been enabled to enjov short drives, walk short dis tancet out of doors and do a considerable amount of literary work. Uit appetite is bet ter. He has a relish for food and his swal lowing is not attended without much pain. Locally, his disease shows a alight tendency to progress The sloughy exudation has die appeared. exposing exuberant foungoid gran ulations in its place. This condition still in volves the right and posterior parts of the pharynx, right tonsillar region and right side of the base ot the tongue. On t^e free mar gin of the palatal curtain, midway between the uvula and right tonsillar region a small fungoin excrescence has appeared. The ul ceration at the base of the right anterior tan- j eial pillar and along the side of the tongue j presents a worm eaten surface, indicating an extension of the destructive process. His breathing is tree and his voice is clear, but the movements of the tongue are somewhat i restricted, affecting the articulation. Accord ingly the enlarged glands under and around the right angle of the lower jaw are some what harder, Hnd in consequence ot the sur- rounding inffanimator infiltration, they are j quite firmly fixed There is, however, leas pain in the diseased parts titan formerly and the secretion of mucu is less abundant. The patient obtains good sleep with a minimum of morphine, and awakes in the morning feeling much refreshed. Despite the favora ble general condition, there has been unfort unately no change in the local disease to warrant any modification of the original di agnosis by members of the medical staff. Gen. Grant passed a quiet day. He was engaged in preparing the date and material for dictation, which he hopes to be able to resume in a day or two. Dr. Douglass called at 10 to stay all night. THE TRUNK MYSTERY. The Murdered Mini Identified by His Brother—Killed lor His Money. Pittsbiro, Msy 7. The body of the man shipped from Chicago to this city in a trunk last week was exhumed this morning and positively identified by Krancisco Caruso as the remains of his brother, Fillipo. Francisco is of the opinion that Fillipo was murdered by a countryman named Augustina Galardo, who was prepar ing to go to Italy. Galardo knew that Fillipo had money, and frequently importuned him for a sufficient amount to pay his passage over. The murdered man was last scon in the company of Galardo and Kusso, ami Francisco thinks he was chloroformed and then strangled. Detectives lef' Chicago for New York to day to head off Galardo, and a detective went to Chicago to secure the arrest of his accom plices there. Ngw York, May 7. Inspector Byrne, Tuesday, received a des patch from Chief Doyle of Chicago stating that the Italian Agiostino Jurado, who is charged with murdering the man found in the trunk at l’ittshurg, Pa., hail come to New York. Ample description of Jurado was given, and he was found hiding at 145 Woos ter street the same night. The prisoner was taken to the police headquarters, whfre he gave his age as 24 and said lie was a pedlar. Chief Doyle was communicated with and Detective Banficld, accompanied by the bag gage muster who checked the trunk from Chicago to Pittsburg, at once started lor New York. This afternoon the baggage master unhesitatingly picked Jurado out as the man who had brought the trunk to the station. The prisoner refused to make any statement, but willing agreed to return to Chicago with Banfield. They will start to morrow. ILLINOIS ELECTION. The Republican* Apparently Win and Hold the Legislature—Logan’s Election Certain. Springfield, III May 7. A despatch received here from Cass county states that outside of Schuyler county, the republicans in the 34th Senatorial district were 50 or 00 ahead. The democrats now concede the election by from 150 to 200 majority. It is understood now that returns from all the precincts ex cept two are in, but they have not been re ceived here. So far the returns give Weaver 170 majority. Senator Johnson (dem.) sent a despatch to the Junketing committee at New Orleans conceding the election to the republicans. Later —Lieut. Gov. f mith has just receiv ed a despatch from Schuyler county stating that the county gives the republicans a ma jority of over 200. This, if true, seems to in sure the republicans a majority in the State legislature. CuicAGo, May 7. If the republicans have carried the district it would give them I0.‘t votes on joint ballot and if Sittig and other anti-Logan republicans should consent to abide bv the caucus decrees it would insure the election of a republican to the United States Senate. Springfield, III., May 7. All doubts of the election ot Weaver (rep.) to the legislature have vanished. It is be lieved he will support Logan for senator and the general is confident of ultimate success. A Satisfactory (explanation. WlLKKSRARHL, Fl., May 7. A committee of physicians reported this evening that they had discovered a satisfac tory explanation of the epidemic, and their conclusion is in perfect accord with the ac- I cepted scientific theory of the origin of the typhoid fever. At the headwaters of the nioun- j tain stream supplying Plymouth with water, i there is a house in which the fever has pre- j vailed for months. The excetra of the sick were thrown into a privy 40 feel from the stream and washed into the stream by March rains. The fever broke out about two weeks after the stream was polluted by this pollu tion. The water supplied 1000 persons, who were poisoned, and about M5 have died with the fever, while other deaths are likely to occur. A Heavy Snow storm. St. Paul, May 7. A snow storm is general throughout the north-west. Seeding will be retarded but no great damage has been dore to vegetation, i Ice, an inch thick, formed at Sankton, Dak. and fuit buds were frozen. An incn of snow U reported at Fargo, with the wind blowing 40 miles per boar. FROM WASHINGTON.

A wild rumor tonight that Middleton's force had had a severe battle with rebels at llatouche induced great excitement. The rumor was entirely baseless as it not known yet lhal Middleton has moved from the camp south of Gabriel's Crooaing. Kdmonlon advices say The region north and east of here ia full of hostile Indians. In fact all the Indians west of Uattleford are in war paint. The settlers have all tied. John Walkin Shaw and Albert Darkness, both from Ontario, were killed by Dig Bear's band over a week ago. Their wives and the wives of two missionsriea are prisoners. A scout from the northeast says Otter will l.ave a fearful time of it. Poundmaker, I.iltle Child and all other chiefs are on the war path and a number of half breeds are directing them. There is a perfect panic in Kleanor district. Score* of homesteads have been burned.

The mayor in company witli manv of the visiting veterans and Gov, Lloyd and start occupied the portico of City Dali and reviewed the parade in passing. The reunion closed with a banquet at tile Concordia Opera Douse. The remarks of Gen. Porter, who respoud ed to the toast “Army of the Potomac," were particularly happy and his touching, eloquent illusion to Gen. Grant provoked a tumult of applause. Three cheers were proposed for the absent commander, and they were given with a will, the cx-Confederntes joining heartily in giving them. Will Not Design. Clbvkland, May 7. The statement that Senator Payne intended to reiign hi* seat on account of ill health and in favor of John McLean of the Cincinnati Kn quirer is pronounced bv Mr. l’ayne untrue.

A pugilistic epidemic lias been raging at the norih end lor sevi rul days past. Men and dogs have both been in a fighting mood and the French quarter has been aroused. The dogs have usually started the fight. Two canines would close in, and the bystanders rushing up, a general encounter would ensue, men and dogs wrangling together. One day there was a melee in which some twenty would-be John Sullivans engaged, several of the contestants coming out of the affray with black eyes and bloody noses. Evenings the police have been obliged to stand on guard, their presence, only, preventing trouble. Wednesday night Bond street was in an ex cited condition again but no collision oc curred. Yesterday morning the hand of death appeared among the dog», some exas perating citizen depositin'' a quantity of poisoned meat in an exposed situation. A number of dogs partook of it. Two died from its effects, while two others in the agonies of death were shot by the police. Others getting a light dose ran about the street in a mooching manner, heads drooping and evi dently being in much pain. Talking about the puny brook trout now brought in from the brooks bv our local fisher men,remihds one of the mammoth fish captur ed some 35 yrs. ago in what was then Bishop’s Pond in Mt. Vernon, on a pole set and hook baited by Mr. J. H. Morse of this city. Ihe fish was 37 inches in length, of the brook trout species girth, just back of the gill, 24 inches; weight, 245 pounds. The line was a good hemp one; the hook, a common hook such as was used to fish with in those days The bait was a small chub. The line was fastened to a fish pole 1G or 18 feet long, and was set at night at the end of a plank walk some [twenty feet in length. The line was set at night and early the next morning the monster trout was found by a boy thirteen years old. The fish had been on the hook long enough to become partially drowned,and was easily pulled out of the water by the gills by a gentleman who was passing by. Wednesday being the regular day for the examination of pensioners%y the board of surgeons, several persons coming long dis tances appeared at Dr. Brickett’s office on ibe forenoon of that day for the purpose of being examined. But owing to the fact that two of the surgeons had been removed and the newly appointed ones not having received their commissions, there was no legal board. The applicants could not make a second trip without much expense and Dr. Brickett, to solve the dilemma, telegraphed the condition j of affairs to Commissioner Black, who in re turn authorised the new members of the board to act with Dr. Brickett, which they accordingly did, the individuals being exam ined and going on their way rejoicing. The trade in barrelled gum continues to j flourish, and dealers drive a brisk trade in j this jaw propelling commodity. The barrels have decreased in sixe somewhat, and when Ailed retail at 15 cents each. They are turned in Livermore Falls. A Lewiston druggist, j O. W Kimball, formerly of this city, han- dies them. The bare barrels costs the drug- j gist S3 per hundred, and they each hold an ounce of gum which retail* for ten cents. An j Aroostook man recently wrote to an Augusta druggist, wishing to sell a ton of gum which he had in stock. A sample was sent, but it was of such inferior quality that the j shrewd druggist decliued to purchase. i Twntldk KtlM The executive committee of the Twentieth Maine Regiment Association, consisting of H. 8. Melcher of Portland, president, J. B. Wes eott of Bath, vice president, and 8. L. Miller of Waldoboro, secretary and treasurer, bare issued notice oi the third reunion of the sur viving members of the 20th regiment, Maine Infantry, which will be held in Portland in connection with the National Encampment G. A. R., Wednesday. June 2*th. Camp accommodations, except blankets and rations, will be provided free. Members can bring rations or buy their meals on the camp ground. Those desiring boarding places should apply as soon as possible to H. S. Melcher, Portland, as all the hotels are now engaged. The executive committee, in ac cordance with a vote at the last re-union, have arranged to furnish a badge of beautiful design, which will be suspended by a bine ribbon from a gilt bar piu, upon which will be engraved “20'h Maine Infantry.” The cost of the badges will be SI 50 each and all comrades who wish them must remit that sum before May 15th, to 8. L Miller, Waldoboro. It is expected that the badge will be ready to deliver by mail before Memorial Day. Camp Ground Notes. Things have not changed much here since last fall. The streets are drying very fast and the grass is beginning to' appear. The superintendent is adopting a new plan that I think will be appreciated by all. He is rak ing off the leaves so as to give the grass a chance to grow. I think good results will be seen this year. A few trees have been blown down and the effects of the fire of two years ago are now plainly seen, and it is hoped that fires may be avoided in the future. If the underbush could be removed from the lower end of Baker avenue it would give a good view of the river and a good breeze be felt a large part of the time. It is the finest avenue in the grove. Mr. Bowie of Gardiner has built a nice cottage on Mt. Zion Wesley-ave. and give a good im pression as we pass in from the west gate. It is too early to conjecture, but it is hoped a good deal of building will be done this year. The directors give notice of a meeting here on Monday, the 18th, and it would be well for any members of the corporation who have suggestions to make, or any who have selec ted lots on which to build, to be present. Doubtless a Presiding Elder from some one of the districts will be invited to lead the services during the valley religious meeting. This not being a district meeting the direc tors are at liberty to rotate among the differ ent preachers. But as I am not behind the scenes I am not able to say now who will have charge this vear. s.
