Prosecution Finishes Evidence and Defence Opens Its Side of Case. Strong Effort to Disprove Joseph Fogg, Jr’s., Statements.' Ellsworth, Me., July 20.—Detectives Tracy of Bangor, and Odlin of Lewis ton. who at various times during the past, four years had been engaged on the Ware case, were the principal wit nesses called. Saturday, in the trial of William Treworgy for the murder of -tarn h Ware. Mr. Odlin testified that he was em ployed by the town of Bucksport to in vestigate the case. Nov. 12, following the finding of the body, in company with Detective Tracy, he visited Tre r,orgy's barn and there found a piece of canvas and a hammer which bore Unins resembling blood. A small piece was cut from the canvas, and this with (he hammer was given to Tracy for -afe keeping. He believed that Mr. Tracy submitted the articles to a •heinist for analysis. On several occasions witness had ong talks with Treworgy. Once Tre tvorgy said that he stopped at the Miles house the Monday, Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday nights after he body was found. At another time Treworgy said: “I uelieve the man who committed this •rime was out carousing and drinking vith a crowd of young fellows, among vhoin were Cteorge and Walter Bridges, Wes’ Webster, 'Leggy* Brown, a man aamed Dueott and Mike Coyne.” Treworgy added that Coyne was nrr.e and “carried a cane which might lave inflicted the blow that killed Sarah.” Mr. Odlin related the circumstances ittendlnp: thy the court to go to Lewiston by the irst train and return to court with the papers at the earliest possible time. The testimony of Detective Tracy ■va« practically the same as given by idlin'.. lie explained, however, that it would be impossible for him to produce 'he bit of canvas and hammer entrust to him by Mr. Odlin, as it had mys eriously disappeared some time ago from his son's house in Iiangor, where he had placed them after they had been returned by the chemist. Winfield S. Patterson, a boy who was rmplo>ed by Treworgy in 1S3S, said he was at the Miles house. Sept. 17 of that year, and saw Treworgy there talking with Mrs. Miles and Mrs. Ware. Uriah Smith testified that Treworgy told him that without doubt Joe Fogg assisted in the removal of Mrs. Ware's body, but that he (Treworgy) was not i lie other party. He was ill and re mained indoors the evening the body is alleged to have been removed, he told witness. Testimony for the prosecution in trv Sarah Ware murder trial was conclud ed, Saturday afternoon, and the de fence opened, introducing one witness. The testimony of the afternoon was important. George II. Allen testified that he heard Treworgy say: T know abso lutely nothing about the murder, but I believe that Joe Fogg helped move the body. He did not help me." A. L. Conant testified that in re sponse to a question ns to what h. thought of Fogg's story, Treworgy said to him: "I think he moved the body, hut helped somebody else." At this point Judge Emery thanked this witness for speaking so that he could be plainly heard,'something that few of tile other witnesses had done. Moses Fridges heard Treworgy sa> just before his meeting at Itucksport: ■If i could have five minutes after T got into the hall and the people would listen to me. I could make it plain who murdered Sarah "W are. Bridges testified to the following stateii ent by Treworgy: "If Joe Fogg helped me move ihe body as he sab. he did 1 am in a bad fix; if he did tot. he is in a bad fix."

Is at Poland and Receiving Every Ev ery Care and Attention. Portland, Me.. July 20.—Miss Evan geline Pearson, daughter of Sheriff Pearson, went to Poland, Saturday, and will remain with her father, who is til it the White Oak Spring hotel. Deputy Sheriff Charles Dunn and wife arrived at the hotel, Saturday even ing. In telephonic communication with Portland. Deputy Dunn said he found the sheriff comfortable and really bet ter than he had anticipated, in view of the rumors that bad been in circu lation regarding his illness. While the sheriff is a very sick man. he is in good hands, everything possi ble is being done for him, and the two physii ians who held a consultation on the case, this evening, are of the opin ion that he will be restored to health. Deputy Dunn says the sheriffs cour age Is good, hut his nervous system has been in a state of disorder since the confusion of Tuesday afternoon, when lhe hotel was struck by lightning and he over-exerted in his endeavors to render assistance to the prostrated guests. I Ror several months the sheriff's j health has been failing. Since January 1 he has lost about 20 pounds in weight, i He was repeatedly advised by his 1 friends to take a rest, but not until the six su] r me judges sitting in the law court insisted that he take a va cation did he heed the advice. He has an organic heart trouble, and has been repeatedly advised that ha i must cxerc ise caution in his work. I The news from Poland was a surprise to Portland people in general, but not I to those who have been closely asso i luted with him. Mr. Pearson Was Better. Sunday. Portland, Mo., July 20. It was stated at the White Oak Spring hotel. Poland, today, where Sheriff Pearson is ill. that the sheriff was much better and passed a comfortable day. His physic ian, Or. Norcross of Lewiston, states that there is nothing the mat ter with the sheriff outside a weak heart, and he can see no reason why ho should not recover rapidly. _ Mrs. A. D. Alexander of Richmond.

Raised, Sunday, and Proceeds to Bos ton for Repairs. Gardiner, Me., July 20.—(Special).— On her trip from Boston to this city. Saturday morning, the steamer Kenne bec, of the Eastern Steamship Co., met with an accident by which the trip from this port was lost, beside dam age to the ship which cannot at this time be estimated. As the boat round ed Goodwin’s Point, about opposite South Gardiner, it failed to obey its rudder, or from some other cause run onto the flats and struck what was probably a sunken pier. The boat was soon backed off and proceeded to this city in a badly leaking condition. The landing at the wharf was made in a hurry and the passengers ami freight hustled from the boat. This was about 9.20 and from that time until nearly noon the boat rapidly tilled with water and rested on tne river bottom, listed to the starboard, till the guard rail was under water. The cabin furniture, linen, etc., were taken front the cabins and piled on the wharf. The tiro engine Cobbossee was sent for, as it was thought it might be able to pump some water out, or at least keep tiie boat from further danger un til the assistance of a wrecking crew could be obtained from Bath. During this time a large crowd had gathered on the wharf on hearing the report that the boat was sinking and consid erable excitement was in order. At 11.90, the Cobbossee began her pump ing, and from that time until the crews from Hath arrived it about held its own with the water in the hold and cabins. At a little after 1 o’clock in the af ternoon the tugs Seguin and Charlie Lawrence with wrecking lighters ar rived from Bath and the work of the crews began. A big steam pump was placed in position on the lower deck midway between the two gangways and at 3.45 the steam was turned on and the work of pumping her out was begun in earnest. The pump was one such as was probably never seen be fore in Gardiner and was what is known as a centrifugal pump and had an 8-inch water pipe, from which the water poured in a continuous stream. The pump had a capacity of 2S00 gal lons of water a minute, and in the first 15 minutes, lowered the water over 12 inches. A diver had been secured from Bath to make an examination of the ship's bottom to locate the hole, but after several attempts in the afternoon gave it up until Sunday morning. The pumping was kept up all of Saturday night and the diver continued his work in the morning. Then he located the hole on the port side near and a short way forward of the wheel. The hole was reported to be about the size of a man’s body and that the planks for some distance were started. The hole was covered as well as could be by the diver with canvas hold in position by thin strips of wood nailed on. At 12.10. Sunday afternoon, the steamer sailed for Bath, where she will be put on the runways. The damage cannot he at this time estimated, as the insurance on the boat will make it necessary for it to have a thorough examination while on the ways and the full amount of damage to the hull cannot he placed. The time necessary for repairs cannot of course be given, but will probably be several days. The Sagadahoc left. Sunday afternoon, for Boston and will return to Bath, today, to connect with the Della Collins, which will leave for Bath at the usual time of sailing, 3.35. Future arrangements have not as yet been decided upon. FEED THE CHILDREN. Learn What to Give Them. People with weak children should look to food lor making the youngsters Ftout and hearty. Scientific selection of food is the true way to health. A mother speaks of her experience in feeding children. She says, "About two years ago our little two year old' Isabella was taken with stomach and bowel trouble. She was so low at times that we despaired of her ever re covering. "She could not digest the lightest kind of food. She lingered along from August to November in that condition when 1 decided to try Grape-Nuts in small quantities three times a day. I poured boiling water over them and let them stand five minutes to soften, then added sweet cream and a very little sugar. "Well, from that day, the 15th of Nov.. 1S9S. until now we have never had to give her a drop of medicine and she is the picture of health. So also is my little boy now two years old. He has lived on Grape-Nuts since he was a year old and is the stoutest little fel low you nearly ever saw. "Nearly everyone asks what l feed the children for they are so big and healthy. “Our 12 year old daughter began to have headaches about last Christmas and we put glases on her. She got some better but was still very poorly. Finally I took away most of her fool and put her on Grape-Nuts. She i steadily improved and is now able to go to school regularly and is quite well."

Baltimore, July 20.—A fierce tornado characterized by a wind storm of ex traordinary velocity, thunder, vivid lightning and a heavy rain, suddenlj burst upon Baltimore, at 1.30 P. M today, with the net result that 11 per sons lost their lives, hundreds ol houses were unroofed, trees in thi public parks and streets were torn ui by the roots, many buildings damage and several people injured. The storn exhausted its fury in less than li minutes. The damage done was in the residence portions of the city, ulonf the river front and in the harbor. Nine were drowned in the harbot from open boats, one man was killed by a falling tree and one by a live wire. The following is a list of the dead: Drowned in the harbor: Roy Bate man, 12 years old; Jos. Cain, 10; John Cain, C; Thomas Carroll, 21; Harry McCormick, 19; Mrs. Mary Schuler, 28 Harry S. Schuler, 10 months; Olive Schuler, 4 years; Chas. Schuler, 7. Killed by failing tree, William Cor nish, colored. Killed by live wire, Charles Schaef fer. The iirst three victims on the above list were out in a row boat on the river with three other companions. When the storm broke the boat cap sized, three being drowned and three being rescued by a tug boat. The boy killed by a live wire had, in company with two other boys, gone into a shed for protection when the shed blew down and a live wire fell on him.. Michael Schuler, with his wife and three children, accompanied by his brother-in-law, Joseph Cooper, and his wile, had gone out into the harbor for a sail in a 30-foot boat. A sudden gust capsized the boat, throwing Schuler, Cooper and Mrs. Cooper into the water, leaving Mrs. Schuler ttntl her children pinned in the cabin. Cooper saved hint self and his wife by hanging to the bottom of the overturned boat and Schuler saved himself in the same way, after making frantic efforts to get at his imprisoned wife and children. A crew from the schooner Kdward M. Hunt rescued Schuler and Cooper and wife and towed the capsized vessel to the wharf where it was righted and the dead bodies of Mrs. Schuler and her children taken from the children. Thomas Carroll, with four .other young men. was out in the harbor in i rowboat which was capsized. Carroll was drowned, while his four compan ions clung to the rudder of the Mer chants Miners Co's, steamship Chat ham. from which perilous position they were rescued by a tug. A colored campmeeting near Pow hatan had just been dismissed when the storm broke. A huge oak tree fell upon the tent in which the services had been held. Se veral of the worshippers were caught beneath as it fell. The tree had to be sawed into pieces before the imprisoned men and women could be released. William Cornish was crushed to death. A hole several feet in diameter was blown in the wall of St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Catholic church in South Baltimore. A portion of the stone cor nice weighing more than a ton fell to the street. At the foot of Concord street the Merchants Miners Transportation Co's, warehouse was unroofed with small damage to the building, hut the rain poured in on the valuable cargo stored therein, doing a damage which is estimated at from $100,000 to $300,000. DEATH COMES To Herbert Plaisted. Victim of Sad Ac cident at China. South China, Me.. July 19.—(Special). —Herbert Plaisted, the victim of the sad accident which took place in this town, last Tuesday, died, at about 12.S0 this morning. The young man's good health and wonderful strength has been all that has kept him alive during the days since the accident. Th> bul let which was fired from a rillc in the hands of Marolc Willi.ims of Waltham, Mass., and which glanced upon the water, hitting young Plaisted over the loft eye was never removed. Much sympathy is expressed for the parents of the boy, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Plaisteu. The funeral services will be held, at o'clock Monday afternoon, at the Friends church in this village. 1\e\.

SWOLEN RIVERS

Have Already Caused Damage Amounting to Many Millions. Mississippi Out of Bounds—Hundreds of Square Miles Flooded. The Illinois Still Rising and Damage Hourly Increasing. _ Tvookuk. Iowa, July 20.—Kxploration of the flooded districts of the Missis sippi river from Keokuk routh, shows conditions beyond the appreciation of any but those of long experience with the Father of Waters n its most de structive mood. The ituation is grow* inf;- worse hourly and i great conflagra tion in a great city would not be more rapidly destructive of values. There Is absolutely not the slightest chance of stopping this most costly flood in the history of the great river above St. Louis. A correspondent of The Associated Press went all over the most damaged area in the steamer Silver Crescent and found everywhere the greatest crops ever known under water deep enough to float a steamboat. People at the cities give accounts of losses ag gregating many millions of dollars. Hundreds of farmers rich 10 days ago arc penniless and homeless. Careful estimates gathered from the statements of best-informed people in dicate the loss up to today is about $0,000,000. with every prospect of $J OoO.OOO or $0,000,000 additional by the rise above not yet reaching the lower stretches of the river. Most of this loss is on the Missouri side of the river between Keokuk and Hannibal. The chief tlood thus far is on the Missouri side from Keokuk to Louisi ana, with Canton and West Quincy as centers of the country hurt worst. On the Illinois side are three continuous levies for 40 miles from Warsaw to Quincy above the water, which aro thus far safe, but farmers are afraid of a crevasse from Muskrat hollow and every rod of the redoubt is watched day and night. The breaking of these levees would flood 175 square miles in Illinois and destroy $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 worth of corn. The levees below Quincy are in tho same situation, except that they are lower and lessj firm. Opposite Quincy in Missouri is still another center of special devastation which is appalling. North 12 miles to Lagrange and south to Holton, largo prairies are well under water, reaching from the Illinois bluffs to the Missouri blufTs. at least to miles. Levees hastily thrown around farms are disappearing in a fierce current rushing from above through the draw of the Hurlington bridge, carrying everything before it. Lone Tree prairie, 10 miles square, is deserted, the population having fled to Quincy and the bluffs on the Missouri side, from which they watch the com plete destruction. Fabius river! 13 miles above Hannibal, is high and fur nishes a route for the Mississippi to flank the levee, as the Fox river does 40 miles up the Mississippi. This flank ing movement makes even the highest Missouri levees ineffective. Around La Montte, Silverton, Hush Station. Clemens and Ashburn, north of Hannibal, there is more wheat than at other places and all in the shook is washed away. The chief crop there is corn, however, and there is the same ruin as at other places. Levees protecting the Missouri hot tom between Keokuk and Quincy, stood the strain of today's flood which failed to overllow them. The Kgyptian levee is still several inches above the lies Moines river, which is now stationary here at its mouth, lteports from Ot tumwa show a fall of two feet. The only threatening indications, to night, are heavy clouds at Oskaloosa. Unless heavy rains shall come, the Des Moines will begin to fall here, tomor row. The situation is much brighter. The Mississippi here shows a stage of 15.4 feet, the highest since 1X97. and is still rising, but not as fast as it was, this morning. The crest of the Missis sippi rise will probably pass here, to morrow. Great damage has already been dorie, but the worst is probably over. j ILLINOIS STILL RISING.

A few days ago we published, with some comments of our own, some ex tracts from a treasury department bui letin showing what a prolitable invest ment the territory of Alaska has been to Uncle Sam. A correspondent wants to know-if Alaska is good for anything except the production of gold and furs, if it can produce jmything for the sub sistence of the people who go there? Fortunately the same bulletin tour-hep, though briefly, upon the agricultural possibilities of the territory and thus we can answer the inquiry. Until re cently to be sure, the agricultural pos sibilities e.f Alaska have been consid ered as of very slight importance. Tiv bulletin, however, says that as the country has been explored and its con ditions of climate and 'soil studied, its natural pxodurts observed, and experi ments made with various classes of agricultui.il productions, it has be come apparent that the agricultural possibilities of the country, and s pec Lilly of the south and southeast, where the climate is modified by the .1.11 in o justily the con fident belief that the reindeer w.l within a few years prove an importan feature in furnishing both the trans portation and food supply of northeri and northwestern Alaska.

General Bragg of Havana and Wis consin. has learned, as many anotlie man before him. that it is very dan gerous business to tell his wife a se eret. The Philippine Friars. There has been much misconception and much misrepresentation in this country on the subject of the friars whom the government is determined to drive from the Philippine islands. There has been much distortion and exaggeration of the facts, perhaps be cause this is midsummer and the silly season is naturally at its height. Some intelligent Catholics have professed to believe that the expulsion of these Spanish friars is merely a pretext for forwarding a Protestant propaganda. Such an idea is utter nonsense. This government favors no denomination and makes war upon none. It is one of its fundamental principles that church and state shall be in no wise connected. Under no, flag is there greater religious tolerance or greater religious progress than under our own. Equally absurd is the fear expressed by some Protestants that diplomatic relations were about to be established with the pope. This government looks upon the pope and deals with him as the head of a branch of the Christian church, not as a ruler with temporal power. It seeks his assistance in the matter of the friars that they may be removed with the least possible delay or friction. The pope evidently is ready to do his part, but is handi capped by the tactics of the cardinals to whom were entrusted the negotia tions with Governor Taft. However, ihe expulsion of the friars, or most of them, is a settled thing, and it is not only for the good of the Philippines but also for the good of the church which they have debauched .ind disgraced that they should be driven from the islands. They are discredited not by American charges, but by the charges of the native Fili pinos who hate and fear them. They will be replaced, or should be, by priests of American training and American loyalty. These Spanish friars h.'l.ve been the worst type of thieves. They have systematically robbed the natives and have confis cated vast tracts of valuable land. They have been immoral in the most shameless and open manner. They have kept up armed opposition to American rule and used every influence against it. knowing that ij:y.-fHeation and civilization would put An end to their regime. These things' are- not )only asserted by our militni*y and civil authorities, but by travelers of all reli gious sects, and hardly it voice has been raised to defend the friars as a body. A New York Catholic priest who knows the situation well, and who loves our flag as every American should, writes to the New York Sun giving much sensible advice to those of his religious faith who have been heaping unenlightened and precipitate censure upon our government for its attitude in the matter, lie urges them to keep in mind these truths: "First—An Administration which has been signally fair and benevolent to ward the church of Cuba and Porto Kico is not likely to reverse its policy in the Philippines. Itishop Ulenk of Porto ltico—God bless him for it!—has borne public testimony to the benc liG'iit results of our occupation in his island. The United States, he says, lias restori d to the church properties confiscated by Catholic Spain. "Secondly—The United States is not going to remove all priests or even ill leligious orders from the Philippines. Neither the Jesuits nor the diocesan Iergv are to be disturbed. Moreover, no friars are to be deported who have refrained from stirring up hostility against our country, and who have re mained at their posts of duty in their parishes 'luring the insurrection. "Thirdly—The United States will heartily welcome the advent of any number of American priests and reli gious to take the places of the depart ing friar:-. The Christian Filipinos are Catholics, and it is the extreme of im probability that they will ever be any thing else. The Washington govern ment knows tliis. and recognizes that loyal and enthusiastic American priests will be incomparably the most effica cious of all agencies for Americanizing the Filipino people. Five men like I’.isliop Ulenk would thoroughly achieve this Americanization before President Roosevelt's term expires. Let them present themselves, and it will speedily a ppeaV how entirely the Catholic church can depend ujion the absolute justice of the American people. "Fourthly—The United States will sec to it that nothing is unlawfully taken from the church holdings in the Philippines. The friars' lands will be generously paid for, and every injury done by our army to ecclesiastical property will be repaired." At the hour of going to press there was no confirmation of the rumor that ex-I’residont Cleveland will address Augusta citizens from the same plat form with Mr. Bryan, next Friday. Nor was the rumor fully confirmed that pr. Crockett will bolt Bangor in 11*04 an l run as an independent candidate, if th* Nebraska statesman does not rut Augusta for Rockland in his trip to Maine. There is one thing to the credit of Bailey of Texas. He has known enough to keep his mouth shut since he made such a disgraceful exhibition of himself on the closing day of the session.

That was a terrible accident, Friday, when a carriage hound for tlie kite track at Old Orchard, was struck by an express train and two men killed and three badly injured. Those who know the crossing, however, can only wonder that such an accident never happened there before. Rockland has not enough schools to accommodate the growing number of young people in that city, and it is said the city has no money to remedy the evil, this year. A city may well >ot many other things suffer "than its schools. The Cape Elizabeth pea crop is un usually abundant this year. Great loads are daily being hauled for sale to Portland wholesale houses or for ship ment to Poston produce houses. Two years ago the pea crop on the Cape was a failure on account of the preva lence of the pea louse and last year in consequence but few attempted to plant many peas. This year the farm ers took courage and planted this crop heavily and, stiange to say, they have boon troubled but little with the pest. A Caribou correspondent says that on driving through the country this year the one thing particularly noticea ble is the large number of new build ings in process of erection. Almost every farmer is putting up a new barn or enlarging or fixing over his house. Those who are not building something new are repairing or repainting their, present buildings. One Bath man has marketed over' 6,000 pond lilies thus far, this summer, most of his business being at the sta tion with summer visitors. The sea son will continue until the middle .if next month. The most of the lilies are gathered at the Lily Pond where there seems to be an endless supply. The boys sell the lilies at a cent apiece or six for five cents and reap quite a bun ble of pocket money while the season lasts. "Has your wife gone away?” asked a Bath man of one of his friends, the other evening. The reply was a feeble “yes.” "You might wonder why I asked that question,” said the man who was after information, “but this sum mer I noticed that nine times out of ten when you see the average citizen down street in the evening dressed up in his best suit, that his family has gone away for the summer. One eve ning at the Park, last week, there was a bunch of six married men who were having an evening's outing and trying to make life pleasant while their fam ilies were away.” If the Portland Argus may be be lieved, and, barring an occasional po litical whopper attributable to the head rather than to the heart, we have al ways found it within speaking distance of truth, the residents of the Cape shore are now catching rock cod by hand. The cod are following the schools of young herring and in their eagerness chase them up on the beach, where they fall an easy victim to “fish ermen" too lazy to capture them in any other manner. Hereafter one of the sights of the Cape shore, along with many natural and acquired attractions, w ill he rock cod pursuing young herring across shingly beaches, through cab bage patches and on into the confines of the misty hence in the vicinity of Goose pond or thereabouts. As a sum mer attraction this should advance the Cape several points. VOICES OF THE PRESS. Chicago and the MacLane. (New York Sun.) The West is very much excited over the eastern triumphal literary progress of Miss Mary MacLane. Hence the “Lim erick:” There was a young woman of Butte, A wild, wool.v western galoot, She said: “Damn: damn: damn! I'm a genius. I am!" And Chicago said: “isn’t she cute?” LIGHT AND AiRY.

NO MAKESHIFT. In This Case the Work Was Properly Done in Augusta. Any Augusta reader in Archbold who had backache and found relief by rub bing the back with liniments anil lo tions, understands that the relief ob tained was but a makeshift, for the ache returns. There's a way to do it ?o the ache will not come back. Read how it’s done in Augusta. Airs. E. C. Folfer of 36 Northern avenue, says: "In the spring of 1896, got Doan's Kidney Pills at Partridge’s drug store and they cured me of ex cruciating backaches, prevented a se rious loss of rest and sleep and re newed my energy so that the perform ance of my household duties became a pleasure in place of a pain.

The greatest trouble with some peo ple is that they have never found out wliat trouble really is. Practical jokers seldom die undis ligured. Thus we see that there still is poetic justice in the world. When a woman reads a naughty book she always claims that she does so just to keep track of what’s going on.—Chicago Record-Herald. Reflections of a Bachelor. The man who has no enemies isn’t worth having friends. Many a woman's dream that began with a coach and four has ended with a washtub. No matter how low down some people begin they always seem to be able to get lower. It is just as easy to make a whistle out of a pig's tail as it is to make a pig’s tail out of a whistle. Somehow it is discouraging how feminine instinct can distance mascu line reason in the way of doing things right.—New York Press. Wisdom’s Whispers. The pretty dimples of youth become the ugly wrinkles ol' middle-age. Religion may he only a sentiment, tint t lias" a soothing influence on the con science. The man of distinction of today may become the creature cf execration to morrow. Ambition has crushed as many men as t has'raised. There is only one way to settle an im pertinent woman—silent contempt. A man may boast of his wealth, but he is careful not to speak of his debts. Ingratitude and selfishness are the twin children of discontent. 111-temper is the offspring of ill-health more frequently than a creation of the heart. Mistakes when corrected early may prevent a Ion?: and fruitless chase. The i>- rt sayings of childhood are apt to develop into the impudence of ma ture years. —Philadelphia Bulletin.

STATE STREET IMPROVEMENTS. A Petition Regarding the Work Now Undertaken. The following weighty petition to his honor, the mayor, and the committee on highways, has been placed before that honorable body, in the hope that the work undertaken of completing and macadamizing State street may be done in the same thorough and efficient manner as the work between the State House and Court" house has been done. The petitioners desire the carrying out of the same plan as has hitherto been adopted by the city in making such ursii ai;ic ptTliiallClU auu uf-3iiauic un,/iu» ments. The petition is as follows: To His Honor, the Mayor, anti Com mittee on Highway for the City of Au gusta: We, the undersigned citizens and tax payers in the said city of Augusta, di most respectfully request that you, in extending, repairing, and rebuilding State street from Court street to Bridge street, will conform with that portion of State street south of Court street, that the sidewalk be lowered and the same finished with curbing, with paved gutters, and the street be properly graded and macadamized to conform with the rest of State street. This being the desire of those who are residents at that particular point, and we, as citizens and tax payers, think this should be accorded to them who take a just pride in the way of perma nent improvements, as it is a very prominent and conspicuous street, it is the approach to two or three of the churches, the Lithgow library and Court house and one of the large schools of the city faces on this street; it is also the main thoroughfare from the north part of Augusta through the residential part of the city to the State House, and we trust that His Honor and the Committee will give this due and proper consideration and conform with the established place, as it re lates to State street.

Howard of this city, was arrested, last evening; by officers White and Dunton. Howard was al leged to have come into possession of a horse under incriminating circum stances. It seems that during the past week or Hi days he has been around considerable in the company of Elmer W. Ness, the horse trainer, whose suc cess in this line has attracted consid erable attention of late on the streets. East Thursday, the two went to see Arnory R. Allen, who had a horse to be trained. Arrangements were made for Ness to do this and he was to call for the horse at a later date. Friday. Howard, who had heard the conversation, went to Allen and told him he had been sent by Ness for the horse. The animal was delivered to him. but Ness did not receive the property and. yesterday, search was begun for the missing man and horse. After inquiry in several of the outly ing towns he reported the affair to the police and they began the watch for this man. Last evening, they were notified that Howard was in Gardiner and that he was pointing in this direction. He was taken in custody by the officers as he was coming up from Hallovvell and locked up. He will probably be ar raigned. this morning. Mr. Allen re covered the horse and says it is in good condition. George H. Grant of Bath, was brought to the Insane hospital in this city. Saturday.

Itoesch Co. of Boston, which, for a few months th's season conducted a broker's office in the Opera House block in this city, has made an assignment for the benefit of creditors. Mr. Ogden, one of the as signees. has made the following state ment: “Some time since the firm found that there were irregularities in the conduct of the Portland branch office and discovered that all the cash report ed to be on hand there was not in the bank. Added to this, the market has been steadily adverse to the brokers to such an extent that it seemed doubtful if all claims could be immediately paid in full if there should be a panic. After consultation with their attorneys, therefore, it was deemed best to secure the interests of all creditors equally by a general assignment, which has been done." _ There is more Catarrh in this section r.f tile country than at other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable.

John Quill Tolls of a Recent Visit to Its Shores. Just off the beaten path of travel on the 11. C. R. R„ Dover Foxcroft branch, in the little town of Dexter, is one of the prettiest sheets of water that lies out of doors. It is one of the ehain of lakes that derive their source of supply from the numerous brooks and streams coming down from the hill and mountain side. The lake it self is some five miles in length by a mile in width. Its waters are as clear as crystal. The bottom and shores of the lake are of a rocky formation with an abundance of sand on its beaches The old Indian name, Wassookeag, still clings to it. The lower portion of the lake is just visible from the car window hut to see the lake properly or at its best on must drive out some four miles ovwr iho beautiful shore road that skirts its entire distance to appreciate its beauty. Where the Indians once fished anil hunted or erected their wigwams on its secluded forest shore the white man now easts a ily or plows the rip pling waters with his steam or naph tha launch, and on its shores builds his summer home, far from the hum and bustle of city life. Here with his fam ily and friends he swings in his ham mock while the refreshing breezes from off the Jake fan his brow and bring back to his cheeks the healthy sun brown so essential to good health. The Waldheim Association, a Dexter corporation with by-laws and rules, lias clone much for the development of this little retreat. Its property is held under a perlect title and sold to each member under a sort/of lease. The association is very exclusive and when once its members decide that Mr. So an l-So ih! not desirable as a member of the colony, be he J. P. Morgan or a Vanderbilt, he cannot acquire land or pitch his tent on their reservation or even play in their back yard. As they own an immense tract, practically the whole of the west shore, no undesirable temiiint need apply. The association' by its efforts have changed the location of the county read so tnat it runs closer to the shore, thus avoiding some hisrh hills which wore not desirable to climb. The road ts it is now located makes a circle of the entire lake. It is shady and cool and runs mostly through the forest and within sight of the lake ail the way. The association, or its members have, built some 14 cot tages facing the lake with ample grounds itnd driveways in the rear. Like Venice, every man here owns a boat and canoes and ho uses them as a means of transportation but, unlike Venice, about every man keeps a spanking good team or an automobile and when the water looses fascination and charm, moonlight drives are in order. The lake is wyll supplied with fish and unless a man gets an overabund ance of that restful feeling in his sys tem that he can't shake off he can keen his table well supplied with brain food without calling upon his middleman. To those who enjoy club life, the chib house on the point appeals to them. Here is all the conveniences or home without any of its care and worry. One is always sure ol finding a jolly party here at the club house ready for whist, tennis, sailing or any out door sport. The lake boasts of one island, mid way out from the Ripley shore. It is Cook's island, a sheltered spot •with good wharves and walks. A pavilion has been built on the high ground and cecaslonally in the moonlight hnu.t. the sound of an orchestra interspersed with merry laughter comes floating over the waves. There is something in the air up here conducive to sleep, and one's appetite, like a poor relation, is always with him. My friends of Cam,) Wassookeag, whose guest I was .lur ing my stay, ever solicitous of my health and welfare, thought seriously of putting in an artificial respiration arparatus, as even breathing is dis tressing sometimes. Over on the east shore the Wilsons of New York, located some years ago. They cc.nte here on a visit, were charmed with the place and purchas'd a number of acres on the lake front with buildings et cetera and starte 1 in to make a home for themselves. Money was expended without stint. New buildings were erected after the log cabin pattern, a steamer was pur chased and put into condition, row boats, sail beats and canoes were add ed to the fleet. Then came the entire family and friends with their retinue of servants and a pack of blood hounds. The Moose Horn, as the place was called ii: those days, was a lively spot.

Then they migrated south like the birds, and the Moose Horn was deserted like a plaything Thai had outlived its usefulness. The other day when I visited the place the shutters were up, the grounds were overrun with rank weeds and a general air of decay ar.d neglect pervaded the I lace. Even the steamboat, once the prile i f ’.he lake is rusting out under its temporary shed. Some day the Wilsons may wander back again and the old time splendor of the Moose Horn will be revived and the clink of the glasses will be heard on the shores of Wassookeag again. I came across in my rambles the residf nee of the late Ebenezar Small. The house was about 8x10 feet, built of logs and the inscription over the door read, “ICbenezar Small, 1801. one of the first residents of Dexter." No doubt the good man flourished like a green bay tree in thcise happy old days, but has long since been gathered to his fathers. The old haunted house on the hill overlooking the lake, was pointed out to me and a story told of how, on moonlight nights, the murdered wo man, the heroine of the tragedy, years •igo, walks on the shore of the Ink0. I can only say X admire her judgment and good taste, for no prettier sin et of water than Wassookeag faces the. sun and should 1 ever visit that charm ing spot again, which I hope to do. sometime, I propose to hunt that fair moonlight stroller up and if agreeable to both parties join her in her rambles and watch the moonbeams as thev paint shadow pictures on the face of fair Wassookeag.

A SUNDAY ROW, Old Cider Causes Trouble Down in Kennedy Brook Locality. As a Result John F. Chamberlain of Oakland Is Under Arrest. There was something doing down in the locality known as Kennedy brook, just below the Insane Hospital on the east side of the river, yesterday. As a resuk John F. Chamberlain, a man about 30 or 35 years of age, who be longs in Oakland, and who has worked in this city at different times, now oc cupies a cell in the police station. A little before 9 o'clock last evening, a boy came to the police station and notified the officers that a row had oc curred in the locality referred to above, and that a man had been killed down there. Officers White and Chadwick immediately started for the scene of the alleged murder, while a curious crowd gathered about the City building and awaited their return. All sorts of rumors seemed to come through th-‘, air. One was that Henry Johnson, a well-known local character, had been stabbed by some unknown person and that fatal results had followed. An-1 other report was that he had been j struck over the head, knocked sense- j less and that his life was despaired of. When the officers reached the place j there was comparative quiet every where. After a thorough investigation it was found that several men had been engaged throughout the afternoon and evening in getting drunk on old j cider. Henry Johnson was found in bed in one of the houses, and, although he looked as if he had been run through a threshing machine, he was alive. Hisi head was bloody, as if lie had been in a row of some kind, but he was able to, talk, and the officers left him where he was. He was at the home of his j sister. The officers had quite a lot of diffi- culty in learning just who was respon- j sihle for the trouble. Some of the wo- j men said that the men had been dripk I ing cider all day and that several I fights had occurred. They mentioned some names, but the parties owning them had disappeared. Chamberlain was quite loquacious, and seemed to know a good deal about what had hap pened. although apparently he hau partaken of a considerable quantity of apple juice. At any rate, he was re garded a pood subject for police sur veillance and he w as arrested. He had a dim recollection of some of the im portant points, but he claimed to know just where the old cider came from. The whole matter will be thoroughly investigated, today. PERSONAL MENTION.

Railroad Commissioners Inspected New Section on Saturday Last. Another section of the Winthrop branch of the Augusta, Gardiner Winthrop Railway has been opened to .the public. Two weeks ago that por tion of the road from this city to Hammond's Grove was operated for the first time, and now a stretch of nearly four miles, extending from the Grove to Haileyville, is in operation. The official inspection of this branch of the line was made by the railroad commissioners on Saturday and they promptly declared the road to be well and substantially constructed and is sued a certificate giving authority for its use for the transportation of pas sengers. The inspection was made In the forenoon of Saturday. At 9.15 o’clock a special car left the State street junction for Haileyville. On hoard were Railroad Commissioners Chad bourne and Spolford. Col. K. C. Far rington. clerk of the board. Directors J. Manchester Haynes and Thomas .1. Lynch, and Superintendent Taylor. The car ran to Haileyville and then returned to this city. It ran slowly, giving the gentlemen an opportunity to inspect the track and road-bed. The commissioners were much pleased with the inspection, and agreed that the road was constructed In a first-class manner, far ahead of the average electric road. The rails are very heavy, the sleepers or ties are placed near together and the roadbed Is substantially built. They hail no hesitancy In giving_jth<-ir approval to the use of the road for the carrying of passengers and freight. All day, yesterday, cars were run every half hour from Augusta to Haileyville, and, despite the rain, quite a number made the round trip. Had it been a pleasant day the patronage would undoubtedly have been very large. Director Thomas J. Lynch assured the Journal, Saturday, that he believed another week of good weather would see the road completed through to the village of Winthrop.
