This session is for the trial of the criminal cases laid over from the September court: Elmer Troy for breaking and entering a store at San gcrville; and Paul Peters for shooting and killing the guide Smart at Kineo. The 21 jurors of the September term were present, three supernumeraries and L’l more had been drawn. From these 51 men, after considerable diffi culty, Id men were empanelled and sworn. Tliis was for the trial of Troy. On being brought in Troy demurred. He had supposed Peters would be tried fa st and had no counsel and his wit nesses were not present. After some consideration Troy was informed that he' could either be tried, today, or lay in jail till the March term of court. He decided to lie tried at once. As lie could obtain no coun sel. the judge assigned Lawyer Mon roe of Milo. A recess was ordered v file the counsel consulted with the prisoner.-' The jury were then sworn in. the warrant read and C. W. Hayes, county attorney stated the case. The defence, opened at o'clock, is an alibi. The notorious character of the prisoner is so well-known that there is little doubt of the verdict which is still delayed. DAIRYMAN'S MEETING AT WINTHROP.

Mass achusetts, Rhode Island and Connecti cut: Fair; brisk southerly winds. Eastern New York: Fair: warmer in northern portions; brisk southwesterly winds. Weather Conditions and General Forecast. Washington, Nov. 15.—Fair weather has prevailed except along the middle and west Gulf coasts. The tempera ture has risen from the middle Mis souri valley over the northern Lake re gion and has remained nearly station ary elsewhere. The barometer is low over the British Northwest territory and is high over the middle Atlantic and north Pacific states. During Wednesday, the weather will continue fair west of the Mississippi in the Lake regions and the middle At lantic and New England states. In the south Atlantic, the middle and cast Gulf states, Tennessee and Ohio, the weather will be cloudy and threatening with occasional rains. By Thursday, the rain area is likely to extend over the middle Atlantic states. drive was started the plaintiff sold the logo to McNally of Clinton, for $1441!. In an action against Parks for failure to deliver all of the logs. McNally re covered judgment for $402, as damages for the shortage. The present action was to recover damages for Libby’s failure to drive the logs in a proper manner, and secondly, for breach of his alleged agreement to assume and pay the amount which McNally might re cover in the action against Parks. The verdict was for the defendant. The rule of damages in the two actions was not the same. The defendant might be liable for such damages as arose from his negligence in driving the logs, while Parks was liable to McNally for not delivering the logs according to an agreement of sale. After a careful ex amination of all the facts reported, this court is not prepared to say that the result necessarily indicated prejudice or misapprehension on the part of the jury, or that a contrary result was the only reasonable one.

Grand Trunk Express Collides With Freight Near Toronto, Ont. Care Tdcscoped-12 Killed and Dozen or More Seriously injured. Trenton. Ont., NoV. 15.—A Grand Trunk exress train, bound for Toronto, crashed into a moving freight train near Murray Hill crossing, two miles west of here, at 3.30 ^his morning, and several cars were smashed almost to splinters. So far as known 12 people were killed and a dozen or more ser iously injured. A misplaced switch was the cause of the accident, the west bound train taking the wrong track on which was the east bound freight. The train which left Montreal, at 8 o'clock last night, consisted of express,'mail and baggage car, a second-class car, one first-class coach and two Pullman sleepers. The second-class car was next to the baggage car and ahead of the first-class coach and sleepers. It was pretty well filled with people, there being 20 or more passengers in it, and hardly any of them escaped without injury. Betwen Belleville and Murray Hill crossing the railroad is single tracked, the only single piece of track between Toronto and Montreal. At Murray Hill crossing the west bound express usually leaves the single track and takes the double track and it was about 1 1-2 miles west of this point that the accident occurred. Whether the signals were right or not will never be known from the engi neer or fireman of the wrecked tram, for they are both dead. Both engines were totally destroyed and the freight engine was thrown completely over the passenger engine into the ditch be yond. The engineer and fireman of the freight engine. Thomas Ivans and Alex Toppin, both of Toronto, jumped and escaped with slight injuries. W. H. Brady, engineer, of Belleville, and John McDonald, fireman, of Belle ville, who were in charge of the pas senger engine, was killed. The greatest destruction was wrought in the second-class car, which was full of passengers, a number of cattlemen and Poles. The baggage car was driven into and almost complete ly through it, the passengers being crushed and mangled underneath the timbers of the car. The mail car was forced right on top of the baggage car and the express car was partially wrecked. The first-class car was un injured. ns were also the two sleepers, although the passengers were awaken ed by the shock. The- work of pulling out the dead and injured was com menced immediately, but it was late this morning before all the bodies were taken out. Some of them were so hor ribly mangled that recognition was al most impossible. The injured were taken the hospital at Belleville. The dead—Wm. Buness, cattle drover, Toronto; Charles Goodchild, cattle Toronto; John Casey, engineer, off duty, Belleville; Wm. Brady, engin eer, Montreal express, Belleville; Marie C. Kern, native of Russia; .George Ha bruch, and Katy X. Habruch, natives of Russia; Three other Russians, man, woman and female child, all unidenti fied; unknown man, legs and part of trunk only recovered;, .all the Russian party had through tickets to Cincin nati. They arrived at Quebec, la3t week on the steamer Raurentin. The injured—Wm. Kinnear, Prescott, wounded about head: John Newman, baggagemaster, Toronto, bad scalp wounds; Leon La Blanc, baggageman, Montreal, slightly wounded; John Mc Namara, fireman, Broekville, condition critical; Albert Tracey, Toronto, legs injured; A. P. Walker, fireman, Belle ville, face injured; Frederick Cohen, German immigrant, thigh fractured and skull thought to be: C. Paulin. Ohesley, injured slightly; A. Carey, Co burg, shoulder fractured: B. Backus, Broekville, face lacerated. TWO FIRES AT BANGOR. Firemen Kept Busy by Blazes on Franklin and Exchange Street. Bangor, Me., Nov. 15.—Two fires kept Bangor firemen busy for a while, to night. The first alarm name in at 9.33. for a fire in the wood and iron build ing in Franklia street owned by F. W. Hill and occupied on the ground floor by G. W. Smith, as a creamery, on the second floor by C. O. Varney Sons, laundrymen, and on the third floor by the Salvation Army barracks. The fire started about the boiler in the laundry and spread rapidly to the third floor. The loss to the laundry cannot be stated, tonight, but will be considera ble. Varney Sons have an insur ance of $1200. Over $200 worth of linen belonging to customers was destroyed an 1 machinery was considerably dam aged. The furnishings of the Salva tion Army were damaged to the ex tent of $300; no insurance. The dam age to the creamery is not known, Mr. Smith being out of town. It is mostly by water and thought to be insured. The building is valued at $4000 and considerably damaged on the two top floors, but Mr. Hill thinks that his loss is covered by the insurance of $3500. The second fire was at 10.07 and was for a wooden building on Exchange street owned by the McGuire Bros, and Dr. C. A. Gibson, and occupied by Gus Perro as a saloon and lodging house, and by John McGuire as a sa loon. The damage here was mostly by water and is fully covered by in surance. While a building was being moveu at Old Orchard, Monday, a chain snapped, and one end was hurled through the win- i dow of G. L. Hyde’s store, striking Mrs. I Hyde In the face, cutting her up and I knocking out several teeth. She was also 1 severely wounded by broken glass. The little folks love Dr. Wood’s Nor way Pine Syrup.

Temple Matter Again Comes Up But Is Shelved, 287 to 76. Other Officers Elected—Harmony Now Pre veils in the Convention. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 15.—The storm of yesterday in the W. C. T. U. made a slim attendance at the opening, to day. Mrs. Dunham’s resolution pledg ing the National organization to the payments of the $300,000 issue of Tem ple trust'bonds was postponed, owing to the small attendance, till 3 o’clock this afternoon. The Temple matter came up again, in the afternoon, and a resolution en dorsing the Temple was defeated by a vote of 287 to 76. Mrs. Lovell of Pennsylvania, intro duced a resolution deploring the great destruction of song birds for millinery and petitioning Congress to pass a law MRS. 1j. M. N. STEVENS OF MAINE. Elected President of the National Wo man's Christian Temperance Union. prohibiting the use for millinery pur poses of all useful or singing birds. Some discussion, humorous and other wise followed and it was carried, 166 to 7. Mrs. Francis Joseph, colored, of. Louisiana, presented resolutions de nouncing lynchings in the South and they were laid on the table to be call ed up later. At 10.30 the election of officers was taken up. It was announced that 371 officers and delegates were entitled to vote. Mrs. Bessie Laythe Scovel of Minnesota, presided during the elec tion. Before the balloting began an Illinois delegate created something of a sensation by asking that “some one tell us the personal, religious convic tion and sectarian connections of Mis. Stevens.” There was no answer save in a buzz of dissent to the injec tion of such a query at such a time. For President 356 votes were cast, blank ballots, 2. Miss Anna Shaw, 1; Mrs. S. M. D. Fry, 1; Miss Helen Hood, 1: Mrs. Caroline Buell, 1: Mrs. M. N. Stevenson, 1; Mrs. B. L. Scovel, 1: Miss Belle Mix. 1; Mrs. K. L.

Rounds. 3: Mrs. Mar ion Dunham, a; Mrs. Fessenden, 7: Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens, 317. Mrs. Stevens made a very touching speech of acceptance, urging all to join in carrying on the work to which Miss Willard, the beloved leader, had given her life. The Maine delegation presented her with a beautiful cluster of roses. ons. cueieus men siaieu mac sne wented to nominate Miss Anna A. Gordon, who had been Miss Willard’s private secretary, and is probably one of the most beloved of the Union lead ers, to be vice president at large. The bylaws were then amended to give the president the authority to make such nomination and the elec tion was by a rising unanimous vote. Mrs. S. M. D. Frye of Minnesota, was elected corresponding secretary, and Mrs. H. M. Barker, treasurer. After luncheon, Mrs. A. E. Carmen of Illinois, reported on the medal con test in the various states, recommend ing annual contests on the anniver sary of the death of W. F. Demarest. who originated the temperance medal contests. The banner for the greatest number of contests was awarded to Oklahoma. Several other reports were presented. The banner contest among the min ing states having been decided in favor of Pennsylvania, the banner was for mally awarded to that state. The Temple resolution, introduced by Mrs. M. H. Dunham, was then called up and was defeated by a standing vote 76 to 2S7. Mrs. Ellis of New Jersey, moved that the trust funds in the hands of Miss Cornelia Dow of Maine, be applied, if the donors agreed, to the .relief of the Temple bondholders so far as it would apply, being paid to them proportion ally. This resolution was referred to the executive committee. At the evening session, addresses on “Total Abstinence” and “Prohibition” were made. Honors for Heroes of Khartoum. I„ondon.

New York, Nov. 15.—The 130 ban quet of the New York Chamber of Commerce was held at Delmonico's, tonight, and in point of elaboration and magnificence exceeded the prev ious efforts of the chamber.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles; Hon. Levi P. Morton; Ex-Vice Presi dent of the United States: Hon. Stew art L. Woodford, late minister from the United States to Spain; Paymaster John A.

The hall was decorated in a more elaborate manner than ever before attempted and was in keeping with the present good feeling between this country and England at the same time giving recognition to the friendly commercial relations ex isting between America and France, Germany, Russia, Austria, Italy and Mexico. After all the guests were seated Bis hop Potter invoked a Divine blessing. The speaking programme was as fol lows: Introductory address, by Alex E. Orr, president of the Chamber of commerce. Toasts: ‘The President,” Hon. Stewart L. Wood word; "The Fu ture Relations Between Great Britain and the United States,” Right Hon. Lord Herschell; "Confidence Regain ed.” Hon. John W. Griggs, attorney genera); “The United States and Can ada,” lion. John A. Kasson; "The Army,” Gen. Nelson A. Miles; "The Navy.” Paymaster General Elvvin Stewart, U. S. N. Alex. E. Orr, in his introductory re marks. praised the war and the finan cial policy of President McKinley, con cluding his remarks by paying a glow ing tribute to the participants in the late war. He closed by asking all to stand and drink the health of Queen Victoria. The orchestra played ‘‘God Save the Queen" and all present join ed in the chorus. President Orr then read a, letter from President McKinley. It was loudly ap plauded. President McKinley, in his letter, expressed regret that imperative engagements and the pressure of offi cial duties would prevent him from be ing present and then said:' “These gatherings of your organization have been productive of great good to the commercial interests of your state and the country at large. They encourage free interchange of thought and render possible the timely discussion of pub lic questions. Not the least among their beneficient results are the kindly good fellowship and co-operation which they foster. ‘‘Never, in the history of the nation, have we had cause for greater thank fulness than now, in the increasing prosperity 'of the peojjle and in the prospect of a future bright with prom ise. The great trade organizations, the influential bodies representing the vast interests of those who labor in the va rious fields of endeavor have presented to them an opportunity seldom vouch safed, for the advancement of our ma terial welfare and for the betterment of industrial conditions. “The Chamber of Commerce of the state of New York. will. I am sure be helpful in every movement for national prosperity and development and will exert its influence in accordance with the principles which made the work in the past so far reaching and effective. In the new problems now pressing upon the country its co-operation can be confidently reiied upon for their rig'ht ful solution, and it will bravely follow duty wherever it may lead."

Bsaver Expresses Himself on u Act ol Chief Quartermaster Lee. Washington, Nov. 15.—Gen. Brecken ridge oontinued his testimony before the war investigating committee, to day. His testimony dealt with the campaign in Cuba and the transporta tion of troops to that island. He had gone to Cuba as inspector general. He had observed casually the preparation for the disembarkation o< troops before the expedition left Tampa and had con cluded that they were quite inadequate. “I made no report, however,” he said, “as Gen. Miles was on the ground and could observe for himself.” Continuing, he said that there was no preparation for landing in the face of an enemy other than that which the navy might furnish. Speaking of the conflict of authority on the transports, he said the masters of the vessels did not respond as promptly as might have been desired. “True.” he said, "there was a little naval cadet on board each of the vessels, but he had no authority. What was needed was prompt commu nication between the commanding offi cer and the vessels and the masters of" the transports did not respond very promptly.” He was questioned as to the conduct of the campaign in front of Santiago, and replied that the result was what he had expected it would be. Every thing there, he said, was strained’-to get men on board, and consequently there was comparatively little effort to receive equipment. Asked as to his opinion of the result of the campaign, ho said he thought it was consistent with the character of the men who conducted it. “I think it would have been different if Gen. Miles had been in command— that it would have been more satisfac torily conducted. I think he has more of the spark of genius of command than any man in the army; and I am sure that if he had had charge he would have been in the front rank.” Ex-Governor Woodbury suggested that the battle in front of Sari Juan had been fought and the victory won within eight days of landing. Gen. Breckenridge. in reply; “sat®, ttoat the victory had been won ’‘wheriOCn. T4 ral's nerve gave out.” He believe’d tfiat the war was the Lord’s war, arid that our success was due to His super vision. He did not feel that Gen. Shaf ter was above criticism in the conduct of the campaign. He could believe the result was a miracle, but he ascribed the outcome to the fact that the army was one which was capable of meeting all calls. Gen. Breckenridge spoke of the in spector general's office as having been emasculated by the order requiring the reports of subordinates in that office to be made to the adjutant general and said that when he discovered that this was so he went into the field as offering f the only arena in which he could be of 4 real service. He had intended to say in effect: “There is the desk in my office, do as you please with it. Gen ?ral Sanger was there; he, too, is from Michigan. I thought he could take control of the office if it was desired, »ut he did not remain.” Continuing his testimony bearing upon the inspector general’s duties he said that his criticism of the change was based on the fact that It deprived the central authority of securing infor mation and as a consequence the of fice was practicaly useless. “The or der had the effect of cutting the um umcai cora, ne said, "and the circu lation was not good.” As a result of the change when he had asked for facts in the office to include in his re port he had failed to find any there. Resuming his remarks of a general t, character, Gen. Breckinridge expressed the opinion that there had not been enough fighting to obsure other re sults common to war. He thought the evils which had been experienced were inevitable under our American system. He condemned this system as most reprehensible and said the volunteer soldier must always suffer the worst of the consequences. He traced all the trouble to the want of preparation and mobilization in time of peace and that in turn to Hje failure of Congress to appropriate the necessary money for reforms. Replying to a question from Mr. Woodbury, who said that “considering the system, he thought the govern ment had done far better In its con duct of the war than anybody had ex pected and just about one-fourth of what it should have done.” General McCook asked General Breckinridge if he had visited General Shafter in his tent when the latter was at Santiago and General Breckinridge replied that he had done so. "Did he then offer the "command of the army to you, as has been reported in the press?” General Breckinridge replied: “I very much prefer not to answer that ques tion. You should ask General Shafter. Such a conversation as occurred be tween General Shafter and myself on that occasion is not of a character to be spoken of lightly. I fail to see how a reply from me would promote the object of your inquiry.” “As a matter of fact he did not turn the command over to you?” suggested Governor Beaver, to which Gen. Breck enridge responded: “No, he did not, and I do not think there is an impro priety in my saying that he could not have done so.” With this the matter was allowed to drop. Dr. Conner questioned Gen. Brecken ridge about the condition of the sinks at Camp Thomas when the troops left (Continued on page X)

CRITICIZES SHAFTER. (Continued from page 1.) there saying that it had been repre sented to the commission that some 3000 of them had been found to be un covered. The general replied that nec essarily some of the sinks ha.d been left uncovered, that It was the difficulty af ter a large army evacuating a camp. He said that he had foreseen this and had asked J1500 from Washington for the purpose of putting the sinks in proper condition. This money had not arrived before his departure, but he supposed it had arrived later. Capt. Robert W. Dowdy, who was master of transportation at Montauk. stated that at the beginning of the his tory of the camp, the supply of trans portatioh facilities was inadequate, though they were afterwards improved. While there had been much criticism of the railroad running to the camp, he thought it had answered the demands upon it very satisfactorily. He said there was not a sufficiency of ambu lances, but that there were enough of them to carry all sick soldiers who were not able to walk. It was not true that these vehicles had been used for purposes other than those for which they were intended. Dr. L. A. Magruder, a local physician, testified to visiting Camp Alger on three different occasions. He said he had found the tents too near together and the sinks very near the kitchens in ■many instances. The surface water was bad and he always thought the presence of so many hucksters about the camp was responsible for about 50 per cent, of the sickness. Dr. William G. Weaver of the 0th Pennsylvania Volunteers, testified at the afternoon session and proved an important witness, as he gave detailed information concerning the conduct of h regimental hospital at Camp Thom as. Dr. Weaver said that typhoid had broken out about the 18th of June and that it had increased from that time Until the 20th of August. There had been about 600 cases of this disease in the regiment and 2S or 30 deaths. The doctor said there was an insufficient supply of drugs and that at times he failed to get what was needed. Qui nine was one of the aricies of which there had been a scarcity and 100.000 pills were secured from home. He said that at one time there were 36 typhoid patients in the regimental hospital be cause there was no accommodation for them in the division hospital. At another time there was 67 fever pa tients in the company tents for whom a/1 mission could not he secured in any hospital, division or regimental. In summing up the cause of disease 5n the camp Dr. Weaver included overworking the men as one. Tin first reveille sounded at 4.30 and after that time men were kept quite con stantly engaged with drills and other exercises until 6.10, notwithstanding the weather was intensely hot. He al so expressed the opinion that the water from Chickamauga creek was polluted. He considered the water in this stream as haftdiy lit to bathe in. much less to drink. His information was that there were sources of con tamination above the intake pipe of the pipe line system. The doctor ad mitted that he had never visited the U

creek at the pumping station. Dr. Weaver related his difficulties in securing tents for the regimental hos pital and he said that in one cas Chief Quartermaster Dee had refused to allow the regiment to have a tent which was stored and which was its property. Col. Lee said that the tent could not be taken *>ut except in tin proper military manner: but the regi ment had never been abL to ascertain what he required and had never se cured the tent. The defect was sup plied by taking the officers’ mess tent for hospital purposes. Gov. Beaver, a member of th“ com mission, expressed the opinion that this conduct on the part of Col. Lee was an outrage and he said the only mistake that the doctor and his col onel had made was “that they had not taken the colonel by the nape of the neck and kicked him outVf the camp. Continuing, 1 >r. Weaver said that he had been me only surge* n n duty with his regiment, the other two being detailed to other service. He had been on duty as long as VI hours at a time, but ho had never made any complaint, because 11 was generally known that the surgeons in the headquarters were overworked. The witness expressed the opinion that the hospital facilities should bo furnished by the government, adding that not an article of property in the hospital had been thus supplied, ‘the citizens of Penn sylvania buying beds, blankets, sheets and all the food. i«*e and milk that had been there. They had expended ovi-r $2;o.i on the hospital alone. Major Louis A. La Garde, a regular army surgeon, who was in charge «*f tno division hospital it Siboney, said the transports taking troops to Cuba won overcrowded and the air was very fetid and hot. On his steamer, the Saratoga. 33 cases of fever had developed going over. He had received his first patients, July 1. from Aguaderes and K1 Caney. and by July 4. 400 or r»no path nts had been received. The majority of thorn wor shipped north as rapidly as possible. The men sent north wore supplied with all that could be spared, but th«* hospital authorities felt that tnosc who went north, even though short in attendance and in supplies wore taking fewer chances than those who remained, as yel low fever was even then beginning to make its appearance. The orders were to send only such men as could depend upon themselves. He said he ha-l ob tained from the Hod Cross Society all that he had asked tor. Miss Barton had apologized for not being able suool more. Saying that site had «»*i1y expeot -d to be called upon to aid Cubans and no our troops. However, she said the North ern soldiers should come first. Further more. Miss Barton had supplied atten dants for one of the hospitals. Dr. Lesser of t He Ked Cross, was m [charge. Here the physician and the fnurses had developed yellow fever, prov ing that the house occupied had been in jected. He had then ha 1 them removed land the building burned. The patients fluid protested against the removal but he Ihl not believe the transfer had hurt icm. The doctor said that as the pa tents at the hospital increased he called V additional physicians, receiving some [om corps headquarters and also the aid the doctors of the navy and also Cu and Hod Cross doctors. There was. jwever, a shortage* of nurses, as the Unary necessities were such that it is impracticable to keep as many men .work in this capacity as wrere needeu. Dr. La Garde expressed the opinion lat the United States, could have had a ipply of stores on hand as well a3 th ted Cross, and he believed that it would |ave done so if such a battle as was >U!™ keen anticipated. There was sufficient quantity of medical stores it Oiey could have been unloaded.

II Would 8c Suicide for Enemy to Attempt to Enter Large Atlantic Ports. •Cleveland. Ohio, Nov. 15.—Col. Jared A. Smith, F. S. engineer, has just re turned from tlie Atlantic toast de fences at New York, Boston and Port land. He said: "Our harbor defences, while not yet completed, are so far advanced that it would be suicidal for a warship of any foreign country to enter any of these harbors, if we objected. A great deal of work is yet necessary to be done, but work is rapidly being pushed for ward. “Very few people have any' idea cf the power or accuracy of our coast de fences. Our defences are as good as any in the world, for their purposes. No better can bo found anywhere. The works are being rapidly completed and it will not tie a great while until the coast is well nigh impregnable. A CHANCE FOR DREYFUS. To Be Notified o!

Boston. Xov. 15.—A regimental court of inquiry convened at tin* East Armory. East Newton street, today, to heir the charges preferred against (.’apt. Thomas V. Quinlan Co. C. 9th Mass.. 1’. S. V., by Mrs. James J. Brady of South Boston, whose son, Leo J. Brady, died as the result of alleged negligence on the part of Capt. Quinlan.

The- court room was crowd' d with officers and men of the regiment. Mrs. Brady, who was called as a wit ness, said she could give only evidence as to what the boys of the regiment had told her. She had interviewed them after hearing of her son’s condition in Cuba. She then related the stories told by tiv* men. When cross-questioned by Cap:. Quinlan, sin said that one of the soldiers. Maurice Cushman, told her that he had threatened to shoot (’apt. Quinlan if he ordered him to go on duty. (.’ashman, a corporal of the 9th Regi ment, was called. He said he top] Mr.-.

UNCLE SAM INSISTS That Spain Shall Evacuate Cuba by Jan. 1,1898. No Fears Entertained that Peace Treaty Negotiations Will Fail. Though Madrid Semi-official Report* Arc Very Much to the Contrary. Washington, Nov. 15.—The govern ment has renewed and strengthened its determination that the Spanish evacu ation of Cuba and the American occu pation shall not be deferred beyond Jan. 1. This conclusion has been com municated to the Spanish government within the last few .lays, in answer to an urgent request that the date of evacuation be put off because of the large number of Spanish troops re maining on the island, who, it was re presented could not be moved before Jan. 1. Not being a subject which could be treated by the commissions at Paris or at Havana the request of the Spanish government was forwarded to Washington through the French em bassy, which also received and for warded by cable the refusal of this government to put off the date of as suming American control. Attorney General Griggs and Secre tary IJliss were not present at today’s cabinet meeting. The meeting occu pied less time than usual and at its conclusion it was said that nothing of special importance had been under dis cussion. Administration officials do not share the opinion expressed in some quar ters that the Paris peace commission will fail in its efforts to agree upon a treaty. This opinion is not based upon any specific information received from Paris, but rather upon the fact that by withdrawing from the conference Spain h is nothing to gain and all to lose. It is undoubtedly true that should the Spaniards adopt this course they would sacrifice the indemnity this government is now disposed to grant, and would al so precipitate trouble for themselves along the line. It is believed that the United States at this time would con sent to a cash payment of from $20,000,- i 000 to $25,000,000 rather than to renew the war, but the longer-a final settle- 1 ment is delayed the smaller will be the i indemnity, in any event, the President j is not disposed to brook unnecessary j prolongation of the negotiations and it is believed lias so indicated to our peace commissioners. Inquiry has been made into the char- e.cter of the projectors of the remark able syndicate scheme for the purchase of the Philippines for the sum of $400.- I 01)0,000. The result has been to show j that they are irresponsible parties and it is scarcely to be doubted that the project has been put forward as a means of enhancing the price which the Spaniards may demand for the re- j linquishment of the Philippines. The j Spaniards might claim justification for demanding $200,000,000 if they could i point to a syndicate ready to pay j double that price for the islands. However, this has not led to any j modification of the American demands, j and it is probable that several sessions j of the joint commission will be con- I sumed in settling the amount of money j to be paid over on account of the Phil- ippines. Negotiations on the proposed reci- S procity treaty between this govern- ment and Great Hritain relative to I the Ihitisli West Indies have come to1 a halt with no present indication that the treaty will be concluded in tne j near future. The negotiations ha i proceed.: i to an advanced stage, last j spring, it being hoped that the sig- I natures would Is* appended before 1 Congress adjourned, in order that the Senate might have an opportunity to ratify. Since then, however, obstacles j have developed and the negotiations I which were so far along have lapsed into a condition of inaction. The government industrial eomrnis- sion resumed its sessions, today. The 1 session was mainly devoted to the rules of procedure as reported upon by the committee which had been at I work here in the interim framing an i outline of the work of tlie eomnns- j sion. Great pressure is being brought upon the war department to have the vol unteer troops now in the Philippines return to this country. Nearly every state that has troops stationed at Ma nila have asked through its governor or representatives in Congress that these troops be sent home. This pres sure comes through relatives and friends of the volunteers and is started by the troops who have been writing home. Some of these letters published in the state papers at the homes of the enlisted men, have created a wave of sympathy for the volunteers in far off Manila. While they do not re count very great hardships, except among those who are ill, they do show that the life is very obnoxious and that the duty of policing the city' of Manila and remaining inactive is very disagreeable. Ii is said that there is no way of re lieving these troops from duty in the Philippines at the present time. The uncertain conditions that exist in the island of Luzon make it impossible to get along with a smaller number than are stationed there at present. General Otis has been asked by cable if troops could be spared and has replied in the negative. The great demand that has been made for the muster out of volunteer regiments or individual members of such regiments will form the basis of a strong recommendation in the annual message of the President for an in crease in the regular army. This new force will be needed to take the place of the volunteers who desire to return home and leave the service. The Republican national headquar ters, according to Secretary F. Charles Dick, will be opened in Washington as sdon as Congress convenes and preparations for ihe campaign of 1900 will go rapidly forward.

The best medi cine that is on the market to-day is Dr. Clark’s Ited-Iron-Pills.

Attention is now centered almost ex clusively on this topic.

Although the strictest secrecy is observed, the general expressions com ing from members of the commission j continue to,be hopeful that some kinds I of reciprocity agreement will be reach- i d. although it is appreciated that the I present r venue needs of this govern- mont Incident to the war make It diffi- 1 cut to find rates which are open to con cessions.

Washington, Nov. IS.—The navy depart ment, late today, received the following cablegram: Nassua, N. P.. Nov. 15. Secretary of the Navy, Washington Arrived with Potomac and Vulcan at the scene of the wreck. On arrival took charge of the Teresa and hoisted flag. After careful examination of the strand ed ship and situation and careful con sideration of the instructions from the department, appreciating the great inter est taken by the nation and government in the Teresa, 1 regret excedingiy to ex press the opinion that 'it is hopeless to expect to rescue the ship. Craven. Plow, Hobson and Crittenden confirm my opinion. “The wreck is stranded in from 16 to il feet, with head to northward. With the exception of a few feet astern and forward, where cut away, the ships rests on a rocky reel, covered with coral sand, interspersed with boulders, half a milt south of Bird Point. The line of reef ex tends outside of .he wreck, both to the northward and southward, the ship hav ing been driven into a slight indentation In the reef. The surf from astern and outside of the ship continues between toe ship and shore, then runs out slightly to a point forward of and outside the ship again to the northward. A small passage is thus left for small boats to pass under the stern to the lee side. "In fairly good weather it would he pos sible, 1 think, for a small tug, drawing lo feet of water, in the hands of very skillful seamen to pass close under the stern of the Teresa, in a smooth sea, lo make fast to the lee side, for the purpose of supplying power for the wrecking pumps, if, however, such vessel were .night inside the Teresa by a storm, it probably would be swamped by the seas or thrown on the reef. The surf thus cuts off communication between the ship and shore, except at certain stages of tide or when there is very little sea run ning. louring heavy seas the breakers would also be continuous outside the ship. “Passed Sunday on the wreck examin ing carefully all the compartments widen were not llooded, as well as the ship's surroundings, accompanied by Craven, who had previously Inspected the Teresa, and Crittenden, who was perfectly fami liar with the ship. Evidences show that after striking trie reef the mainmast was driven up and broken off snort below the spar deck, the military top lying Outside the bilge under the port side. The seas had gone entirely over her, and the inner bottom generally hud been driven up ward from IV* to i’ ieet. The patch on tnp bottom abreast, forward the turret, had disappeared; the air ports had been driven in, and the seas had entered through them and the gun pons on the starboard side: the spar deck and deck house had 'been crushed in by the seas after rile snip struck. “A large proportion of the lumber was in short pieces lying or boating below the berih dec based on fat Island, hot from a ship outside the reef, and should be very pleased to command any organization prepared to work on the wreck. In addition to the turret guns there are four 6-inch guns on the Teresa taken front one of the wrecked ships and remounted in Guantanamo. Awaiting de velopments for further orders. (Signed) “Mc-CALEA.” A WARNING TO FRANCE. Joseph Chamberlain Advises Her to Let New Foundland Affairs Alone. 'Manchester, Eng.. Nov. 15.—At the Na tional l.iberal Unionist conference here, today, Mr. Jos. Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, made his first pub lie speech since lus return from the United States. Mr. Chamberlain, who was much more explicit on the subject of Anglo-French relations than any of his colleagues in the cabinet has been, said it was the "hope of every friend of peace that the French wimdraiwal from Fashoda is indi cative of their acceptance of the principle of control of the whole valley of the Nile, regarding which they cannot be any discussion whatever.’’ Going on to recite a “series of unfriend ly acts perpetrated by France in various quarters of the globe during the last 10 or 15 years,” ho said: “If better relations are to be established it will be necessary for French politicians to abandon tactics whose object has been to hamper and embarrass British policy even in quarters where the French have no interests to protect. 1 refer especially to Newfound land. where, despite the fact that the French fishery interests have declined to a comparatively insignificant point, the demands of the Frencn have continually increased and tnoir interference with the development of the colony has increased. At tne present moment Newfoundland is seriously suffering from an intervention which is of no advantage to France, al though a serious detriment to the British colony. “If the Fashoda incident only servos to disabuse foreign statesmen of the erro neous conception that the British will yield anything to pressure, it will be a blessing in disguise.” After referring t< the “thorough and complete sympathy si noticeable between the motherland and her colonies," Mr. Chamberlain continued as follows: “What isof equal importance our American kinfolk have begun to bet ter understand. If we have had differ ences in the past. 1 believe they have risen entirely from the want of propet mutual understanding, but now tht American people know that in the late trouble -our hearts went out to them, and they heartily reciprocate our good feel ings. 1 shall not attempt to predict what may follow this better feeling; but I may at least hope that, in the future, the un derstanding of which I have spoken may be perfected and that in the face of tnat understanding we two may be able to guarantee peace and civilization to the world." THE SIMPLE8T CURE FOR INDIGE&TIOM. At Well at the Safest and Cheapest. The new medical discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food In stead of making the worn out stomach do all the work, give it a much needed rest, and a cure of dyspepsia Is fbe natural result. You get nourishment and rest at the same time because these Tablets will thoroughly digest all wholesome food taken intd the stomach whether the stomach works or not. A cure is cer tain to result because the digestive or gans are given a chance to rest and recover their natural vigor and tone. The Tablets are then no longer re quired. To show the manner in which the remedy acts on different people and how quickly and effectually it cures stomach troubles we present a few re cent cases. Mr. J. O. Wondly of Peoria, Ills., writes: I was unable to eat anything but the plainest food and even that often distressed me, but since tiring one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets I can eat anything and everything I want. Mrs. Samuel Kepple of Glrty, Pa., writes: I have been entirely relieved of my stomach troubles by your Tab lets. I suffered three years with sour stomach and gas at night. I am thankful for them. Mrs. A. E. Bowen, Barnard, Vt., writes: I think Stuart’s Dyspepsia. Tablets are the best thing for dys pepsia I ever took. I will recommend them to anyone troubled as bad as I was. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will not disappoint because they cure Dyspepsia surely and lastingly by causing the food to be properly assimilated, and cure constipation by producing the proper quantity oT bile.

A Te Deurn has been chanted by the bishop and, amid cheers, he invoked Divine blessings upon the protecting powers which have freed Crete from Turkish rule. The Christians are be having well and there are no signs of ill-feeling among the Mussulmans. It appears that Chakir Pasha, the last Turkish commander to leave Crete, refused at the last moment to allow the transport to sail, claiming that he must wait until he received de cisive orders from the Turkish gov ernment. Thereupon Admiral Pottier, the French naval commander, dis patched the torpedo boat Vaytour to exercise the necessary pressure upon the Turkish commander, threatening to adopt forcible measures unless the transport put to sea.

Empress Dowager Refuses to Recall Order la Proceed to Shang Tung. Pekin. Nov. 15.—Li Hung Chang has memorialized the Dowager Empress, beg ging to be excused from the appointment to consult with the viceroy of the pro vince of Shang Tung as to the steps to be taken to prevent any further overflowing of the Yellow river, pleading age and lu tirmity as his excuse. He had a special audience on the subject with the Dow ager Empress, today, and the latter, while thanking him for his services to the throne, requested the Chinese statesman to proceed to the Yellow river without delay. In some quarters it is believed I.t Hung Chang's appointment is due to the en mity of Yung Lu, who replaced Li Hung 1 hang in the Tsung Li Yamen, early in September, and to the animosity of Kang Yu. the head of the council of state. On the occasion of her birthday, the Dowager Empress will receive the ladies if the diplomatic body in accordance with a nromise which she made to Prince Henry of Prussia.

paili Rennebec Journal. PORTLAND WINS.' Portland Outplays Augusta in Another Lively Gama—Score, 9 to 3. It is painful to tell it, but Portland defeated Augusta, at polo, last even ing. by a score of 9 to 3. It was a case where the Portlands outplayed the Au gustas, so the defeat was natural. The Portland men were fleeter of foot and surer of their strokes thatl the Augusta men, furthermore they played in luck, go there was nothing else for the spec tators to do but to stay in the hall and watch the Augustas defeated. When it comes to placing the blame of the defeat, it is a hard thing to do, for each player seemed to be doing his best. They were all in much better form than on Friday night, and they went into the game with a greater vig or than ever, but their efforts were met by the Portlands in good shape. Had ley, Houghton and Gay did some fairly good passing, but it was of no conse quence with the exception of the Stli goal, when the three did some wofk that counted. In the rushes Campbell was easily ihe star, and the way he walked away with the ball would have been consid ered very prettily done had he not been on the "other side.'' His work in cap turing the 6th goal, was one of the prettiest tricks ever seen in this city. He captured the rush, bounded the bail, and struck it while in the air, right into the Augusta goal, all in four sec onds. O’Hara looked to be the better man of the two, between he and Turnbull, and some of his work was great. He seems to be especially good at block ing. O’Malley played a good game, though in hard luck. Twice he caught the ball in hi3 skates and held it in goal so that a Portland player easily caged it. McKay received a had cut from Houghton's stick in the third period, but continued to play. Houghton was injured in the last part of the game by a hard driven ball striking him in the leg. Dill went in and did well, consid ering his little practice. The summary: AUGUSTA.

Owing to the inability of Dili to be present so early, the Victory Hill team had but four men, so one man was taken off the Granite Cities. It was a game where the Vickery Hill team easily walked away with their opponents, though for amateurs there are good men on the latter. The former team has three men who with praeticeare fast enough for the league. Jones, the Vickery goal, seems to be a good man, but he was not given a chance to show his skill. One of the features of the game was the caging of Emery the Granite goal, in the same cage with Smith Gilley. In a mixup in goal, they both fell down and were caught in the netting, Emery be ing driven away into lho goal. The sr°Uth~P1>'mouth' *i East Wey Polo Notes.

The Features of the Day’s Dealings in All the Leading Stocks. New York, Nov. ir>.—The premoni eory symptoms of reaction which were noted, yesterday, in the stock market find even more prominently in the bond market found their justification, today. There were periods of resistance to the decline and individual stocks in which the resistance was successful. But the reaction gained in force as the day pro gressed and the closing was decidedly heavy in tone and at the low point, net declines being the rule and reaching as much as a point in a few stocks. The specialties were active all day, and the movements in them were exceedingly various and conflicting and influenced b.' individual causes. The market for Railroad stocks showed a heavy tone from the opening, especially in the Internationals which had the burden of sidling for foreign account to carry. The Grangers and Pacifies also encountered obstacles to an advance. In the specialties there was prevailing heaviness on one hand in Sugar, Manhattan, Federal Steel and Peoples’ Gas while on the other Tobac co, Metropolitan Street Railway and the Paper stocks showed marked strength.

"The hand of God has been upon us for good.” In humble and grateful re cognition of our indebtedness and depen dence upon the Creator and Ruler of men and nations, and also conforming to a time honored and revered custom, and to the proclamation of the President of the United States, Ic: Llewellyn Powers, Gov ernor of the State of Maine, with the ad vice and consent of the executive coun cil, do hereby designate Thursday, the 24th Day of November, A.

On that day we should remember and assist the poor and unfortunate, for no more acceptable devotion can grace Thanksgiving day than charity and be l-nevolence. 5IVEN at the Executive Chamber at Au gusta, this seventh day of November, in the year of opr Dord one thousand eight hundred ainl ninety-eight, and the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and -twen ty-third.

The Year’s Polar Expeditions. Several expeditions are In the Polar regions this year,and nearly all of them are of particular interest to Americans because of the fact that, with two ex ceptions only, our countrymen are represented on them. The most Important from this standpoint is the one under command of America's most noted explorer, Lieutenant Rob ert E. Peary, which is supposed to be now somewhere in the neighborhood of Sherrcrd-Osborn Fjord, North Green land. This expedition, which left New York last summer, has for its object the discovery of the North Pole by the Greenland route. The plan is that of its commander, and is unique in some respects. The maximum period of its absence from civilization is set at five years and the chief reliance on success, beyond the personal energy of Lieuten ant Peary, is the Eskimos. A novel feature in their use is the employment of entire families of men, women and children, instead of men only, as has been the custom formerly with explor ers. In taking this course. Lieutenant Peary was actuated by the knowledge of the deep family affection which ex ists among the Eskimos and the strong feeling of homesickness which impairs the usefulness of the men when sepa rated for any long period from their wives and children. Lieutenant Peary’s idea is to travel by easy stages with his Eskimo assistants to the northern most limit of land nearest the North Pole, and then make a sudden dash thither at the first favorable opportu nity. Supplies are to be taken him an nually by ships. Next in interest to the Peary expe dition is that of Captain Adrien Ger loche, who sailed more than a year ago for the South Polar regions under the auspices of the Belgian government and by the aid of private subscrip tions. Fears have been expressed for the safety of this expedition because of its failure to put in at an Australian port according to an arrangement be fore sailing. The chief interest in this expedition among the people of this country arises from the fact that Dr. F. A. Cook, a resident of Brooklyn an I a well known Arctic explorer, is one of its members. The objects of the Gerloche expedition are Graham’s Land and Victoria Land. Interest in the South Polar regions has been strongly aroused among ge ographers during the last few years, and, besides Gerloche's, there is still another expedition in that almost un known section of the world; namely, that under command of Mr. Borchgre vink. His vessel, the Southern Cross, sailed last August with a large party of over thirty, and the object is to get as near the South Pole as possible. Nothing has been heard of Andree, who, with one companion, sailed away in a balloonfrom Dane's Island in July, 1897, in the hope of passing over the North Pole. A number of searching expeditions have been sent out, but no traces of the two men have been found. There is little, if any, hope that either i^ alive. stany reports have been re ceived and published to the effect that Andree or traces of him have been dis covered, but these ail proved to be de void of truth. Among those who have made fruitless search for the daring aeronaut are Evelyn Baldwin, an American, who spent more than a year with Lieutenant Peary in North Greenland, and who was to have taken the Journey with Andree had anything happened to prevent his assistant from going; Walter Wellman, a Washington newspaper correspondent, who once made an effort to reach the North Pole by way of Spltzbergen. and Theodor Lerner.a German,who made the search in the steam yacht Heligoland, and reached 81 degrees north latitude. In addition to Lieutenant Peary's there is yet another party making ex plorations in the Arctic regions by way of Greenland route. This is the one under Sverdrup, formerly captain of the Fram, when Dr. Nansen made his mighty and almost successful jour ney to the North Pole. Sverdrup, it is said, has taken almost the identical route planned by Lieutenant Peary, namely, by way of Smith's Straits. The great damage done to the United States supreme court room a few days ago by an explosion of gas and by fire recalls the plan inaugurated some eight years ago by Senator Morrill, of Vermont, for a “Building of Justice," as it was to have been called. His plan was for the purchase of a solid square of land immediately adjoining the congressional library on the north, and the erection thereon of a building sufficiently large for the accommoda tion of the United States supreme court, the court of claims, the attor ney general’s office, the appellate court of the District of Columbia, and the law library. Morrill’s plan was re ceived with great favor by the Senate, a bill passing that branch of Congress in the Fifty-first Congress appropriat ing JSOO.OOO for the purchase of the necessary land, but the House refused to pass the bill and the project failed. Senator MorriH, however, is confident that the erection of such a building as the “Building of Justice” would make the great Capital square one of the most, if not the most magnificent squares in the world, and he is still working away at his plans with an energy that is admirable. At each session of Congress he has renewed his efforts to secure the necessary appro Ipriations and there is now pending be fore the Senate just such a measure. An Interval. You wouldn't think to look at him a-lay In thar so meek, With his chubby hands both folded un derneath his chubby cheek; You wouldn't think to see the peace h‘s sleepln' features take jest what a holy terror he kin be when he s awake!

They's yearin' jest to Rive a whoop would lift you off your feet! I.ook at his ragged little coat a-hangin' on that chair— Thar ain't a thing that belongs to him that don't show signs of wear. Jest see those rusty little shoes, with both the toes stumped out. They give a sort of idea of the way he gits about! Somehow it don't feel natural fur the house to be so still. It's full of empty spaces that It takes his voice to fill; An’ I kinder miss the racket an' the pat ter of his feet. An' the litter that 1 growl about—things look a heap too neat. It’s curious how a little scamp like that kin take a part In all your tnoughts and fancies, till he fills a feller's heart With the rattle and the prattle that you learn to love somehow, Till you're lonesome when you miss it™ Sh!—Great Scott, he's waking now! —Atlanta Constitution. Maine's latest murder results from a horse trade. The State lost its prettiest camp when Camp Comfort burned. The national W. C. T. IT. honors it self and Maine in selecting Mrs. Stev ens for the highest office in its gift. Bath is taking a lead in the polo race that has "championship” sticking out all over it. The old battle flags in the Capitol rotunda wiil have no cause to be ashamed of the additions soon to be made to their number. Nothing is left of the 1st Maine ex cept the field, staff and band, but that is no small part of it. After a few days Uncle Sam will have to get along without them. Boston Journal: General Grosvenor well says that "there will be no man's name mentioned in the caucus of the Republican party for speaker of the House of Representatives except the name of Thomas B. Reed of Maine.” That is only the inevitable. They say that Carrie Hayes of Lee, is the heaviest woman in the State. She is 32 years old. and weighs 463 pounds. She enjoys good health and eats but little. The farmers, who suffered all.sum mer and the early fall on account of the lack of water by their wells drying up, have plenty now and enough to last during the winter, due to the heavy rains of the last few weeks. A Lewiston lady went to Richmond Saturday who said it was the first time in her life that she had ever rode on the steam cars. She has lived in Lewiston 45 years. The Philadelphia Ledger prints this story about an honored daughter of Maine: Once when Mme. Nordica was singing at a concert in Texas she for got her warm overshoes. A cowboy, whom she had utterly fascinated, of fered to bring them to her, and he did so, but he brought only one at a time. When Mme. Nordica thanked him. and in her gracious way regretted to have given him so much trouble, he said to her, "Don't name it, ma'am. I wish you were a centipede.” Bath Times: Laugh and grow fat, Americans and Maine-iacs! It is by becoming morbidly serious, usually, that one falls a victim to the mania of self destruction. Even the worst of ills and all circumstances may be borne if one but cultivates cheerfulness of mind. In Maine, even, suicides have become so common that ordinary af fairs of self destruction are being given small heads and the bottom of the column. The man, who is alleged to have walked off with some $17,000 of the pool stakes at the New England fair, is far from being likely to ever return to Portland. For that matter he might come back all right, and stay there, because it is evident enough that no legal steps will be taken against him. In fact that was just what was said by the police authorities when in formed that the missing man was un der arrest in New York. It has not pro posed to use the powers of the law for the purpose of recovering money staked on horse racing. Of course this makes it evident that pool selling will not have in 1899, the least bit of legal protection at Rigby, and there is more than a probability that if there is a fair at Rigby, and that is by no means a settled thing, there will be no pool selling. The Maria Teresa, in spite of the numerous obituaries heaped upon her, bids fair to join the American navy, after all. She refused to sink when abandoned in the storm and there is a suspicion abroad that her crew got frightened too soon. May the efforts to raise her from her resting place on the beach of Cat Island be successful, and better luck attend her next voy age North. A Soldier’s Sensations. “It was the big shell and shrapnel," said a soldier from Cuba, "that made us hug the ground, but it was the little Mauser bullets that killed our men." It is the same in every day life. People shiver with panic at the mention of small pox or yellow fever, but it is the little disorders of the stomach that really do the most killing. The best medicine for the stomach is Hostetter’s Stomach Bit ters. It cures indigestion and dyspepsia. It is just as good for women as for men. For a run-down, debilitated condition nothing is so good or so sure to cure Hostetter's Stomach Raters is an old time remedy. It has stood the test for years, and its popularity increases flav by day. A COMMUNICATION. It the Jury System tho 3e t ter AH Cases? Editors Kennebec Journal: The necessities of society created the necessity for law. It is as old as civilization, and is supposed to be founded on justice and equity. The humblest Individual and the ablest Jur ist are. ostensibly at least, on common ground where personal rights and lib erty arc involved. The law asserts "it will impartially hear any cause, and rigorously defend all rights proven.” To fulfil such obligations it has creat ed. and maintains tribunals where per sonal, communal, or national causes may be presented, and all means legal ly procurable may be adduced to sub stantiate, or controvert opposing claims. It would seem then that with the provisions made for hearing, and safeguard established for defending; that a miscarriage of justice could hardly occur, and that the last appeal to proper courts would safely and Just ly settle all contentions. If all persons were honest, and possessed the attri butes of God no earthly tribunals need, or would exist, but it being very much otherwise they are needed, and are much in evidence in all that the term implies. Is “Trial by Jury" the best system than can prevail in our several courts? There are many, and various opinions upon this subject.and there is certainly much against, if there be some reasons for its continuing to prevail. From considerable experience in court work, wholly as u witness, I am persuaded that the majority of jurors seek to do their full duty as they understand it, and that many times they do not, and cannot appreciate the full force and value of testimony. It is no dis paragement to them as men, or a re flection upon their intelligence. The majority of plain cases may, without doubt, be safely entrusted to their judgment, but that many cases must come before them of which they can not have an intelligent opinion Is cer tainly true. A witness, to be competent, must have a personal knowledge of matters pertaining to the causf- either from having heard, seen, or participated in in such a way as enable them to state facts relevant to the case. If an expert witness, so called, he must have a familiarity with the sub ject. acquired by experience, observa tion, or study that renders him com petent to instruct the court upon ab struse points involved, so that it. in turn, may elucidate obscure points to the jury. No one will deny that: it re quires an educated mind trained be yond ordinary capacity to grasp fully intricate truths that may, and do have most important bearings upon points at issue. 111 cases involving menial anility, and responsibility of a person sus pected of crime, or a question arises of testamentary capacity to dispose of property, in which the finer shades of departure from a normal status exists and by reason of which responsibility is decreased, or abolished; or property alienated from its proper and legiti mate channels; it should rest with trained alienists to enlighten the judge, and upon their conclusions, should guilt, innocence, or capacity be deter mined. It is no insult to the highest intelligence of jurors to say they do not and cannot understand much of the evidence upon which an honest trained expert bases his conclusions. Again in matters involving the law of physics, but rarely members sitting upon juries are sufficiently educated in physical law to understand the prin ciple involved, and even judges may go astray of whose honesty, and ifitegrity, and fairness no one would think of questioning. To illustrate; A case comes before a court involving the questions of homicide, suicide, or accident. There were no witnesses to the death, and the determination of its cause rests en tirely upon circumstantial evidence. It is surely incumbent upon -all who may in any way become connected with the case to understand fully, and weigh carefully every point and word having any bearing, immediate or remote, upon the case lest innocence suffer, or Justice miscarry. Now there are rules well established, and principles worked out by honest, scientific men throwing much light upon the questions in volved, and materially aiding one in arriving at truth. First comes the careful noting of all of the surround ings; position and condition of the body; the appearance of a wound, or wounds; their direction if penetrating, as indicating the nearness, or angle at which they were probably inflicted. If a gunshot wound, the entrance, and exit, if so be the missile has passed through, particularly the wound of en trance for marks, or powder stains, or burntng of tissues, or singing of hair if there be any around the wound, which appearances may indicate the probable distance at which the weapon was discharged. Now all of these things may seem simple enough when told, and they are if we accept the statement as conclu sive, but there is a defence opposed to the prosecution, and every resource available is employed to disprove claims made by the State. At this juncture comes in, not mere opinions, but facts, resting upon the absolute law of physics proven by able physi cists of the world so many times, and with such uniformity of results as to establish a physical law. It considers the law of force resident in a par-N ticular form of explosive, the amount used, the form and measure of the weapon employed; the perfection of combustion, and the dispersion and impaction of the particles, or grains. Today we have the black smoky powder, the semi-smokeless, and the smokeless, all varying somewhat in rapidity of ignition, and perfection of combustion. The coarse grained black powder which has been largely used by sportsmen, and which is almost wholly used in revolvers ignites more slowly, but is more explosive in action; gen erates more gas, and is consequently more powerful. The finer grained powder used largely for fireworks is more pasty, and fuses; the appearance of which every one who has seen fire works recalls. Of course the force and character of all powders depend upon the varying proportions of their constituents inti mated above. But knowing the weap on used, its calibre, we then know the contents of the cartridge in the weight of powder and bullet, for the reason there is a uniformity of the shell, and load they can contain. Now multiplied experiments made with the various calibres by men the world over to de termine the effect of the missiles used Prom the day thdt a young man starts^! out to seek bis first position to the end of his business life, bis health has a world to do with his success. When a young man applies to a business man for a position, his personal appearance has a deal to do with the outcome. “Personal appearance” does not mean dress alone. It does not mean exterior cleanliness alone. A young man may be clean, so far as soap ana water will make him, but be disfigured by unsightly pimples, eruptions and ulcerations on the skin. These are due to impurities in the blood. The blood becomes impure because it is improperly nourished. Instead of receiving the life-giving elements of the food, it receives the foul emanations of indigestion, bilousness and costiveness. The reason that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the best remedy for disorders of this description is that it goes right to first causes. It gives a man an appetite like a horse.” It facilitates the flow of digestive juices. It corrects all disorders of the digestion, and makes the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food perfect. It invigorates the liver. It purifies and enriches the blood. It makes the muscles strong and active. It tones and steadies the nerves. It makes a young man look as he should—strong of body, alert of brain and clean and whole some of skin. Medicine dealers sell it, and have nothing “just as good.” I hsd eczema in its worst form," writes Austin Ramsey. Esq., of Saltillo, Huntingdon Co., Pa. I tried three doctors but got no re lief. I thought it would set me wild, it itched snd burned so badly. The neighbors thoughfl would never be cured. I took your Golden Medical Discovery and am now well.'’ by them at different distances, and various angles upon skin, bones and all bodily structures as well as upon cloth of different material and texture, have secured such regular uniformity of results as to establish principles upon which they base definite conclu sions. If one goes still further Into the subject as may be required in courts to state the power of definite charges; it takes up the number of atmospheres of pressure of the different explosives. As an illustration, that of the common sporting powder equals about 4000 at mospheres, blasting powder 2000. Of course density and composition are the factors upon which this depends. "At mospheres” is a conventional term ap plied to a unit of pressure per unit of area, and is a method adopted by the English and U. S. governments in trial of explosives. "The unit Is the equiv alent of the weight of a mercury col umn 20 inches high at the sea-level at London at 0.° C.” So we see by this brief outline how these abstruse, and intricate problems may and do enter into calculations, and how essential that a clear understanding should be had of the reason why a witness makes, approximately, definite state ments. and the solid, and substantial basis upon which they arc founded. Is it at all reasonable to ask jurors who may never have studied, or even heard of these abstruse physical prob lems to pass upon them? Are there not a sufficient number of trials em bracing points here outlined in this article to make one careful in any testimony he may give, or jurors ap prehensive in rendering their verdict or the judge, if you please, extremely guarded in charge, or instructions? Wo submit it imposes the most serious consideration alike upon all who may have such responsibilities to bear. Would it be fair to the witness who de signs honestly to tell only well proven, and long established truths, to call such testimony a mere opinion? Does It do justice to the public, and serve well and truly the principles of truth upon which ail law is founded? Should not such cases as require more than ordinary training to estimate the value and meaning of scientific propositions that must of necessity be introduced in some of the many eases the courts have to try, be settled either by the law court, or determined by the testi mony of men skilled in such matters as pertain to grave questions to be settled, rather than by 12 men gath ered in indiscriminately from the various walks and avocations of life, and whose business rarely fit them to correctly understand much of the testi mony that has to be heard to make clear all features pro or con?

Local Matters, Dr. Hodman Butler arrived home on the afternoon train, yesterday, from Camp Hamilton, accompanied by his brother. Lieut. Lawrence P. Butler of the 3rd Regiment of Engineers. Lieut. Butler has been very ill with fever, contracted while with his regiment in Cuba. There was at least one happy old lady who went away on the 10 o'clock train, Tuesday morning. She was one who for a time has been an inmate of the city almshouse, but now she has a home of her own, given her by a niece in Massachusetts. The old lady is Mrs. Neal who is 91 years of age. She was so weak that she could not walk, and had to be carried into the train in a chair, by a carriage driver and Prof. G. A. Robertson, but she was going to a ''home,” and she was happy. “When the fires come in regularly, we do not worry much,’’ said an in surance man, Tuesday, “but where there is so long a time between the fires, we have a feeling there is going to be a terrible fire visit us. It usually happens so.” Augusta has been re markably free from alarms of fires in the past three months. The depart ment has been called out but once or twice, and then for fires that called for nothing more a few buckets of water. A member of the fire department says he always notices the fires come in sets of threes, as a rule. When and how large will be the next fire that has to be recorded? STATE DAIRY CONFERENCE.

The returning troops manifested the most greedy longing for food and espec ially those who had the germs of fever about them, are sincere in the belief that they were not given sufficient food while in the army; some indeed do not hesitate to say absolutely that they were starved. The first longing of the men returning from Chlckamauga was for a “square meal.” A good, satisfying, abundant, sub stantial meal, it is on record, too, by the testimony of these and other witnesses that the man with fever in his bones was doomed from the moment that lie al lowed his appetite to get the better of his precaution, and gorged himself with meat, vegetables, fruit, cake, pie and stimulating beverages. To these demands of an abnormally hungry stomach are ascribed most of the deaths that have occurred since the volunteers have re turned to their homes. Physicians know it and they know also how natural and at the same time how absurd is the star vation plaint of patients recuperating from fever, or those from whose systems under the influence of a purer atmos phere and home surroundings, the germs of fever are passing away.
