It. has risen on the Atlantic coast north of Xorlh Carolina, and fallen In all other districts east of the Rock mountains It Is lowest north of Montana. It Is cooler in all districts on the At lantic coast and it is much warmer in the extreme Northwest. The weather con tinues fair except in the Southeru states, where local showers are reported. The weather will remain fair In the Northern states, with slowly rising tem perature, and showers are likely to occur la the south Atlantic and Gulf states. afternoon, tj liiddeford, leaving insfruc tions for i)r. Turner lo telephone him re garding the condition of the girl. Tuesday, he went to Boston, and while at the American house, received a tele gram to come to fiardlner at once, which he did On arriving at the hotel,he asked the girl what the matter was, but she re futed to tell Was told by I)r. Turner that t he chances were against her. Hie would not consent to have her relatives sent for. To both Dr. Turner and the nurse he made urgent requests to learn from the girl who performed the operation. Tho couuty attorney asked Roberts why she left Biddeford. Roberts declined to answer at. first but changed his mind and said that he learned that she was in a delicate condition,and lie advised her to go to her marred sister in Massachusetts. She went to that state, but not to her sister's. Roberts said that ho tried to find out who was the father oi lier child, but she positively refused to tell him. He wrote her to meet him at the American house, Boston, which she did, and from there they took the boat for this city. The county attorney asked why she brought her trunk if they worn only com ing to Augusta for n short business trip He said that she intended to go from there to Biddeford, and linlsh some work on his books and then leave his employ for good. Dr. Biddings testified substantially as did the other doctors. The case was thon given to the jury, who rendered a verdict that Miss Mc Donald camo to her death from the effect of a criminal oporatioYi performed by a person or persons unknown. The nflicora will continue to work on the case until they solve some of the mysteries concerning it. The two sisters of the deceased, who arrived in this city, Saturday morning.returned to their home near Lowell on the afternoon train.Satur day. with the remains, where they will lie Interred. In the minds of everybody in this city at all conversant with the circumstances of the girl’s death, there is no doubt as to the connection of a certain party with the affair. Suspicion and circumstances point strongly but proof at present is lacking. Said a prominent official to the Journal, Sunday: We can't prove the correctness of our suspicions now,but time will bring the guilty party to justice. Our 'clues are strong and daily growing stronger.’' Said another: With every indication of the crime having been committed in Massachusetts, we could prove nothing that would hold any suspected party. But the old saying, Murder will out,’ will surely come true in this case, in a short time.” It is said that, the sisters of the dead girl were very emphatic in their remarks to Robert;. They are said to have accused him with being the cause of their sister’s trouble and death, and to have told him in very plain language their opinion of him. They are said to have told him to bear the expense of the trip to Gardiner, but absolutely refused to allow the remains of their loved one to lie taken home in the elegant casket purchased by him, insist ing that the undertaker should remove them from it and place them in a casket purchased with their own money and more suitable to their circumstances They appeared like refined, intelligent, respectable ladles, and their grit f at the sad death of their sister was almost un bearable.

A FORTUNATE MISTAKE. Two Shipwrecked Men Saved by Being Taken For Seals. Portland, Sept. 1.—A Catholic priest and his companion had a doable escape. Friday, from being drowned and shot, M. W. Trefethen was oil Ids way up the coast In a little lobster steamer, when bis engineer called attention to what both thought was a large seal on a rock. Mr. Trefethen took his riflo and was about to lire at the supposed seal, when the engineer said: Hold on. I ll bring yon a little closer Mr. Trefethen raised his rifle a fecond time, when he saw that there were two seals Instead of one, and then hi dropped his rlfla, exclaiming: "Great Scott,1 there are two men clinging to an overturned boat.” The steamer was at unco headed fcr them, and they were reached and rescued just In time. Tin y were too far gone to talk, but Mr. Trefothen judged by the dress of one of the men that he was a Catholic priest The rescued men were taken to Harpswell.and tin y were still too much exhausted to talk whon Mr. Tre fethen left. It is supposed that they were out on a fishiug trip,and that their boat was struck by a sudden squall and overturned. Mr. Trefothen arrived just In time to save them. Had the engineer not mistaken them for a seal, the steamer would have gone on its course, and they would have drowned in a short time. Maine Pensions.

BELLIGERENT SOLDIER BOY Bound Over lor Grand Jury, for Recent Dis turbance at Brunswick Brunswick, Sept. 1 —Officers of tin State militia were here all day, yesterday, investigating the distftrbancc at Bruns I ick depot, Aug. lti, on the return of th cents more in the back room after he had choked me,not because I owed him anything, but because I wanted to get out. The witness went into the details of the assault.but nothing vitally was developed. Dallas M. Bailey, Co. I), testified that Woodbury ordered him out when he at tempted to secure Folk's release. I used my layonet to protect myself, saying, "I'll run the first man through who touches ine." When Polk was carried in to the next room I shouted. They have one of our men in there on the Hour and 1 III g01llg 111. “But when I tried to pass, Reynolds struck me in the left, eye. I was then somewhat dazed and threw the tumbler and wo clinched.” Cross-examined—My gun was taken from me by a railroad man. Then J drew my bayonet. I was somewhat frightened when I saw the man with the axe, for I didn't know what they w ere go iug to do to me. \V. J. Carver. Co. li, described the row as he saw It Tile gun was taken away from Bailey by tho men when the trouble commenced. Then Rainy drew his bayo net and lifted his arm, saying. ’The first man who lays his hand on me. I ll srike him with this.’ Then Albert ReRrun of Lewiston, said to him, ‘Hailey, put that up Hi' am so. "I saw Woodbury kunelng on Polk’s hr. asi and sow him strike the soldier three t imes in the eye. loiter one of our men snid to Woodbury. Ijet the man up, ho will pay.’ Albert. B. Lebrun of Lewiston, who was in the restaurant after a lunch, de scribed how the trouble originated. He said that Bailey did not strike any one with his bayonet, merely lifting it over his head. Sergt. George Garcelon of Auburn, soul he saw Reynolds strike Bailey before the tumbler was thrown Ho testified as to the braises on Bailey’s face. Other witnesses, W I. Mahoney, An drew Beliveau and W. t- Ricker of Co I), testified in the same lines, with but little variation, as to the various details of the a (Tair. Col. George A. Philbrook of the 2d Regiment, said thit he saw Bailey on Tuesday following tlie affair and noted bruises “I have investigated the matter as fully as possible, interviewing both sides.” Here the defence rested. At noon court adjourned, reassembling at 2 I*. M., for arguments. Mr. Noble succinctly pre sented the evidence and argued that what ever assault Bailey committed was in pursuance of bis duties as ranking officer ami in self defence. County Attorney Webb followed. Judge Plummer nt the close of the trial ut 8.15, ordered isorgeant Hailey to he bound over in the sum of f3oo. to appear at the next terra of court. The bonds men are Col. G. A. I'hilbrook and Lieut. L I’. Bumpus. Corporal Polk, who after all appears from the testimony to have sulfored the only pronounced assault, without offering violence in return, has sworn out a com plaint, charging Mr Woodbury with as sault and the case will Ik- tried very soon The evidence will of course be much the same as that produced in this trial. Mr. Woodbury declares that Polk lies when no s»ys that he ate but one sausage, aud that as a matter of fact, he ate two and endeavored to pet out of paying for one of them. It seems to have been a.I milted tnat the plates upon the lunch counter usually contain hut three saus ngi s, and that after Corporal polk had finished hi- repast two sausages still re mnined in the plate before him. If In; had contemplated the; purloining of a sausage, it is urged as a somewhat singular thing that it-- should have handed the clerk a half dollar. It is said that Adjutant General Connor and other prominent officers, who have investigated the matter, are convinced that Polk was assaulted without cause, and propose to Kive him a vigorous backing.

Is in Pink of Condition—Va'kyrie^Alio Ready tor the Race. NYw York, Sept. 1—The Defender at tracted thousands ot people to the Krie l>ns!n,\vh. re she v. as drydocked,this morn inp. to have her hull put in shape for the coming contest with Valkyrie III. The yacht was taken in dock before 6 A. M The pumps were Set to work and at it the hull was dry. Captain Halt and a small portion of his crew were present. Mr. Isclin and his guests and the hulk of the crow' were at ■New Kochelle. They arrived later, and the tailor hoys were sot at work rubbing down the hull. The manganese bronze under body was in very good condition, but the men worked nt it all day, polishing the metal with sand paper and tiling down the holt heads until It presented a perfectly smooth and shining surface. The upper part of the hull, which Is made of aluminum, was rubbed down and given a coat of white enamel paint. Instead of being a dead white, the paint has a decidedly bluish tinge. While this work was going on below, I ho other men were busy nn deck. The goose neck was stung! betted by rlvottlng a Hat plate to it so that the great strain oil the Strap that attached the boom to the mast will lie amply met. There Is absolutely no Signs of Injury to the hull from the groundings of the Defender at Hog Island and Newport. Aside from the work on the new boom and gulf anil rubbing down and painting the bull, there was nothing done on the boot, today, fairly tomorrow morning, tlie Defender will leave the dock and go to Sandy Hook for a spin. i 'o nlkyrio remained at the dock close to t!ie Defender, all Inst night, ns the storm prevented hot-from being towed to the HorstKlme. yesterday afternoon At. s o’cIih*I;, this morning, she was lowed front rho basin ami across the hay to nn atichorapo off irtspletou. At 11. to M, the mainsail was hoisted, jib and staysail broken out, and the Valkyrie sailed down past (Juarnnltno out through the narrows and with a light, weso rly wiml reached down t he lower bay. At 1.30 P. M., (lie Valkyrie unchored in the Horseshoe. The following, bearing upon the inter national match forthe America’s eup, was posted at the New York Yacht Club, Saturday: According to agreement between Lord Dunravcn nnd the cup committee, the match for the America’s cup will consist of three nt of live races, over courses yn nautical miles In length,with a time limit of six hours. The match will commotion on Sept. 7, and will be continued on alternate days. The race will lie started olT Sandy Hook lightship, the preparatory signal being given at lit minutes at 11 A. M., and the starting signal at 11 A. M.” Captain John Holly, skipper of the sloop yacht Hildegard, owned by ltoar Commodore James C. Bergen, N. Y. Y. C will not be the pilot of the Valkyrie during iter coming races, as was re port'd. Captain Holly has long liven in the employ ot Hear Commodore Bergen, ami purposes to remain there without any defection upon Ms part. The old champion Vigilant whs lying of! the Atlantic Yacht Club house, Hay lvidge. Saturday inornng. She was towed there from the Horseshoe by her tender, the Aernonaut Some of her stores were sent ashore under Captain Barr s orders during the afternoon,and on Wednesday of this week she will he laid up for the season. Mr. Willard, yesterday, did not say just, where the Vigilant will go into win ter quarters, but it will probably lie nt Tort Jefferson, whi te she was lying when Mr. Gould purchased her. Whatever may have beon tbo feeling a week ago in favor of the English yaoht aikyrte’s chances for tile America’s cup, the fact remains that during the last few days the men who have felt gloomiest have hnd a change of heart. Their thoughts are now nil running toward De fender. The reason for this undoubtedly lies In the splendid showing made by the De fender In her recent mces with the Vigi lant. In the minds of most betting peo ple a yacht that can stand up like a dis ciple of Allah In a blow and sneak along like the astral body of a horse thief In a calm is worthy of enthusiasilo support. No matter what the Englishman can do, most men are satisfied as to the capa bilities of the Defender. That she eon go fast in all kinds of weather, there s' cms too be no doubt, and even with all things equal, American betting men would doubtless plunge on her merely os a matter of pratrlotism. Up to the present time the betting has been somewhat sluggish, owing to the scarcity and backwardness of Defender supporters. Although they can get 2 to 1 on Defender in many places, they want greater odds. Small bets of 3 to 1 and even I to 1 have been made in some quar ters, but the favorite bet seems to Iks at even money that Valkyrie will not take a h ;at. This is practically betting on the wf other, it! the pinions of a great many [Continued on page 2.] Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report I Powder Absolutely pure
