Accused of Setting Fire to the Tran quility Grange Hall at Lincolnville— He Is Released on $1000 Bail. Belfast, Me., Sept. 25.—(Special The jury in the ease of Nathan Clark of Lincnlnville, charged with the burn inp of Tianquility Grange. hall, was un able to agree ami so reported this after noon and was discharged. Clark was released on $10un bail. It is rumored that the jury stood nine for conviction and three lor acquittal. Belfast, Me., Sept. 25.—(Special).—All day Thursday and until 11 o’clock to day the supreme judicial court has been hearing evidence in the case of the State vs. Nathan E. Clark of Lincoln ville, charged with setting fire to Tran quility Grange hall on May 25, 390S. A long line of witnesses, friends and neighbors of tin respondent were sum moned by tin State and took the s and yesterday, the State taking up the en tire day until about 3 P. M. The pith i f tlie evidence was that Clark went to the lire clad only in his underclothing and a great coat, minus shoes, shirt and hat: that a billy alleged to have been left in the Clark house some 13 years ago by Mrs. Edna Dunton of Jamaica Plain. Mass., when she vacat ed the house was found in the pasture near the burnt building; that a short hag witii copper shavings adhering to it and saturated with kerosene and <v bottle smelling of kerosene were found in the trail leading from the hall to wards (Mark's house; that Clark made damaging talk after the lire, staling to one- witness that he expected he would have to go to Thomastoi; as he eouldn't prove where he was on the right of .May 25: that respondent was seen in tli• hay loft of his fathers sta ble on the night tlicit the bloodhounds iroin the Thornaston State prison were pit upon the trail; that he tried to evade State Detective Loader of Lewis ton. who was engaged by the Grange to work out the case, making an ap pointment witii Clark only to have it broken by the latter; and other evi dence, all circumstantial, showing that Clark was the man who did the deed. The State rested about 3 P. M. and the defence was placed before the jury. Hon. Lindley Murray Staples, counsel tor the defence, stated that only for the consolation of the good mother of the respondent and the reputation of the family of his client, did lie refrain from asking to have the case dismissed. It was fallacy, he said, to fasten the crime of arson on an innocent hoy and for tiie sake of him and in justice to the 12 men who had heard the one side he would present his client on tlu stand and also his witnesses so that both sides oi the ease might he heard. The first to take the stand was the re spondent, Nathan E. Clark, lie made a. general denial of all the charges against him. denied having ever seen (lie "hilly.” knew nothing of the shorts hag, or bottle smelling of kerosi ue. He explained his going to the fire in a pur tin 11 y dressed condition by telling the jury that he was awakened out of a sound sleep, came down stairs in his underclothes in which lie was sleeping and when iiis brother-in-iaw suggested that he go to the tiro he asked him to wait until he could dress, hut the brother-in-law told him not to bother but to slip on the overcoat hanging near at hand and come on. He account ed for his time from early in the morn ing up to the time when he was call ed to go to the lire, which alibi was supported by his witnesses. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest E. Clark, his parents, Mr. anil Mrs. Edwin Al. Pendleton, his sis ter and her husband, and Miss Edith li. Hall, his sweetheart, who had been riding with him that night. Such was the pith ot' tlie defence which was all in at 5.1.1, when the jury was dismissed and court was adjourned until S A. M. today. Long b< fore it was time for court to open a large crowd, many of them com ing front Lincolnville, 10 miles away, were gathered at the Court house and when the opening address was made every seat was taken. Hon. L. M. Staples, counsel for the defence, made a very able plea, talking more than tin hour. He re viewed the testimony of the witnesses for the State and for the defence, stat ing that the State did not have evi dence enough to stand long enough to he knocked down. He spoke of the good mother who, although she loved her son. would not go .upon the stand and testify falsely as to her son's where abouts. During the plea the respondent and his family, with his sweetheart, Miss Hall, sat near at hand just within the bar, and all were visibly affected. The attorney implored the jury to bo cautious in rendering their verdict, to weigh the matter carefully and to real ize that much conversation at a time iike that after the tire could be misun ,'nTOt-n.l. He told thom that thov must see that an alibi had been proven and mat the hoy stood exonerated of the crime of arson. He asked not for sym pathy but for justice. County Attorney Hon. William P. Thompson, for the State spoke less than half an hour. He cited the motive that tile young man had in burning the Grange hall, to wit: The Clark family owned a dance and concert hall and wh.en there was another in the vicinity it took business away from them. He spoke of the young man’s dress at the tire, of the fact that his family could not have been awake when Nathan was supposed to he in bod if it took three calls to wake them when Wit ness Pendleton called them to go to the tire as was testified. If they were asleep an the time that they stated that the respondent was In bed. lie would have had plenty of opportunity to get up and leave the house without their knowing it. This fact put the alibi to the had. He also cited the fact that the hoy was seen by a witness in the hay left the night that the blood hounds were in the vicinity, although the resp.indent had denied it on ti e stand. He said be had not cross •exam inid the witnesses other than the re spondent. as h" had no occasion to do so and did not wish to harass them unnecessarily. He exported the parents, sister and sweetheart to stand by the young man and would not give much for them if they did not, but It was only human nature for them to do all in their power to make a clear case of alibi. H° had no doubt that Mrs. Clark, the mother of the respondent, wa.s a good woman such as the counsel for the dt fence had stated blit many a good mother lias been called upon to shed bitter tears over the crime of her off spring. He asked not for anything hut justice for the State of Maine, that the guilty should he punished. Judge Peabody gave a very able charge to the jury, reviewing the case from start to finish and instructing them to realize that in a case of this kind much of the testimony is unre liable and to weigh both sides of (he ease carefully.

Livingston, Mont., Sept. 23.—Plow ing through a snow storm, a Chicago, Burlington A Quincy eastbound pass enger train, running over the Northern Pacific Railroad today crashed head-on into a freight train at Young's Point where the trains were to pass and in the wreck that resulted a score of lives were crushed out and a score of per sons were injured, several probably fa tally. The freight flagman failed to signal the passenger in time to prevent the collision, it is said, because of the blinding snow. The express car tele scoped with the smoking car and most of the fatalities and injuries were of persons in the latter car. Not a pas senger in the smoking car escaped death or injury. Passengers in other cars escaped with cuts and bruises. On the train was the Spokane delegation to the National Irrigation Congress at Albuquerque. None of these were in jured. The smoking car's debris was hope lessly mixed with the heads, bodies, legs and arms, presenting a horrible sight. In one place seven bodies were so tightly wedged together that they ■were separated only with great diffi culty. It was impossible to succor the wounded without trampling on the dead. The known dead: Col. Bownson. Utah; John Cawaln, Billings, Mont.; Leon Anderson, Hardy, Mont.; Lorren? A. Stewart. Dean, Mont.; H. C. Gomble. Ministon. Towa: R. T. Rymeck. Denver: D. II. Barnes Seattle; G. M. Kensick, Anaconda, Mont.; H. S. Chingden, Chico Springs, Mont.; Charles B. Johnson. Denver, district passenger agent. Nickel Plate Railroad; George Battlerock. Anacon da. Mont.; John Ryan, Cushing. Okla.; Sichemeram, address unknown; Ora Babcock, fireman, Billings, Mont.; Milo Halloway, brakeman, Billings, Mont.; four unidentified coal miners. Among the injured: John Burk. Bos ton. leg broke and back hurt; R. A. Rickers, Billings, Mont., may die; Ban S. Wostnery, may die; Sam Slomowitz, both legs broken, may die; Anton Rowcits, Helena, may die; Susan Cor dea. Flathead. Indian Mission, back injured; L. E. Cordea, Flathead, Indian Mission, head cut. Wrecking and relief trains were sent out from Livingston and Billings. The freight, which was an extra westbound in charge of Conductor Hickey, was heading at the east end of the siding on short time when the passenger train, running into the blinding snowstorm, struck it. On account of the storm, neither train had any warning and the passenger struck the freight locomo tive full in the side, telescoping the baggage car and smoking car and partly crushing the day coach. Little could be done towards rescuing the buried and injured passengers until the wrecking trains arrived. None of the passengers in the two sleeping cars were injured. WILL HE_ACCEPT? New Hampshire Demo crats in a Bad Box. Nominate Geo. H. Bingham Against His Expressed Wish. Not Yet Known Whether or Not He Will Accept Nomination. Concord, N, H., Sept. 25.—George H. Hingliam of Manchester, one of the jus tices of Die New Hampshire supreme court, was nominated by acclamation for governor at the Democratic state convention held in this city today. This action was taken despite the fact that both a letter and a telegram from Judge Bingham, refusing to permit his name to be considered had been read to the delegates. It is not yet definitely known whether Judge Bingham will ac cept the nomination. The resolutions unanimously adopted by the convention endorse the national platform and candidates and in state matters demand the abolition of the lobby and the free pass, revision of the tax laws, election of railroad com missioners by the people, direct, pri maries and “genuine local option.” The platform opposes "Republican extra vagance, Boston Maine Railroad methods in polities and transportation, and its domination of the state," and denounces the “hypocrisy of the Re publican party in nominating a Boston Maine candidate on the reform plat form.” Professor T. W. D. Wort hen of Dart mouth was permanent chairman, and save for a lively discussion regarding the seating of certain delegates whose credentials were irregular the conven tion was entirely harmonious. With all preliminaries out of the way the delegates to the International Con ference on Tuberculosis at Philadelphia Friday gave undivided attention to the technical discussion on the cure and prevention of consumption. The lead ing men of Europe and America in the wai on the disease joined in the discus sion. Provisions for advanced cases of tuberculosis, prophylactic measures in tuberculosis, hygienic requirements for Kiirdtoria were among the subjects tak en up at the morning session. THE WEATHER. FAIR.

Pairing the past mnpth tie propo sition of a new hotel for (lardiner has been mentioned a number of times, and although nothing definite can be learn ed in regard to the matter it is stated on good authority that the proposition of forming a stork company for the purpose of erecting such a building is being considered.

If certain gen tlemen, who have been active in other building projects in the city should become interested in the proposed ho tel it is ouite safe to say that tire pro ject would go through, for when these men take hold of any business enter prise it is usually carried to a success ful conclusion.

I had to be especially careful about being out of evenings, and not to get chilled when dressed thin for parties, but since I have used Peruna my general health is improved, and my system is in such good condition that even though I am exposed to in clement weatner it no longer affects me. “I have a splendid appetite and enjoy life, being in perfect health.” Pe-ru-na Tablets. Tor two years Dr. Hartman and his assistants have labored incessantly to create Peruna in tablet form, and their strenuous efforts have just been crowned with success.

Mrs. Josephine Holst, 162 E. First St., Portland, Ore., writes tjkat she was troubled seriously with catarrh of the throat, that she used Peruna and was wonderfully helped in two weeks, and in a little over two months her system I was rid of alltraces of catarrh, Who can set a money value Ml healthf It Is absolutely pries lees No one in good health on tally appreciate what it means to hare poor health.

The Story of a Medicine. Its name—"Golden Medical Biscoverv* was suggested by one of Its tnost import ant and valuable ingredients Oolden fck-al root Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis covered that he could, by the use of pure trlpUi-relined glycerine, aided by a cer tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, ex tract from our most valuable native me dicinal roots their curative properties much hotter than by the use of alcohol, so generally employed. So the now world famed "Golden Medical Discovery,” for the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred derangements was first made, as jt ever siniie lias Wum, without a partichj of alcohol ill its makc-un.

SCHOOL TEACHERS Also Have Things to Learn. ‘‘For many years I have used coffee ami refused to be convinced of its bad effect upon the human system,” writes a veteran school .teacher. "Ten years ago I was obliged to give up my much-loved work in the public schools after years of continuous labor. I had developed a well defined case of chronic coffee poisoning. "The troubles were constipation. flut tcrings of the heart, a thumping in the top of my head and various parts of my body, twitching of my limbs, shak ing of m.v head and, at times after ex ertion. a general “gone” feeling, with a toper's desire for very strong coffee. I was a nervous wreck for years. short time ago friends came to visit us and they brought a package of Postum with them, and urged me to trv it I was prejudiced because some years ago I had drupk a cup of weak, tasteless stuff called Postum which I did not like at all. “This time, however, my friend made the Postum according to direc tions on the package, and it won me. Suddenly I found myself improving in a most decided fashion. “The odor of boiling coffee no longer tempts me. I am so greatly benefited In- Postum that if I continue to im prove as I am now. I'll begin to think I have found the Fountain of Perpetual Youth. This is no fancy letter but stubborn facts which I am glad to make known.” _ Kamo given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.

Th“ following is from the Boston Journal: In a letter to a friend. Henry M. Hamblin, a Boston attorney, who ac companied Sam Mahoney, the Revere life guard, on his swim of the English channel, states that the reports of the failure of Miahoney to accomplish the difficult feat were not true. Two weks ago a dispatch from Eng land stated that Mahoney had failed to accomplish the task and the ad mirers of the big guard were disap pointed. East evening the friends of Mahoney brought a letter from Ham blin to the Journal office, in which lie gave every detail of the swim. According the letter, Mahoney, af ter being thoroughly greased, left the town of Sangatte, France, at 9 o'clock on the morning of Sept. 11, and was favored by :n east wind, a desirable condition on the English channel. Ma honey was accomplished by the offi cials of the town, who followed him in a big sloop. After 20 hours of hard swimming Mahoney reached the Chalk Cliffs on the English coast and planted the American llag ori the shore. The friends of the Revere crack sta<e that on his return home Mahoney will bring letters of verification from the town officials of Sangatte. At any rate the admirers of Mahoney are pos itive that Mahoney accomplished the swim, and state that lie is the only lirart who ever swam the English chan nel, and is able to furnish proofs of his o wi- t i vlr Cnrtt Wahh WilS 1 hP Oillv man credited with the feat, but the Kevere friends of Mahoney claim that Webb was accompanied by only two men and therefore may not have cross ed the channel as has been reported.

H., Sept. 23.—There was a six-round bout at Goodwin hall Thursday night between Bartley Con nolly of Portland and Jim Flynn 01 Boston. The bout Was the best over boxed in this oily. In the first three rounds the honors were about even. Connolly avoiding the rushes of his op ponent by clever footwork. In the fourth round Connolly did grand work, seem ingly to weaken Flynn with his right, hooks to the jaw. In the fifth round Flynn brightened up, getting in heavy body blows and rdsliing his opponent so hard as to tax his science. In the sixth round both men started in fast. Blow after blow’ was exchanged, Connolly appear ing to get the better of the argument. In the preliminary the contestants were Scotty Cohen and Tom Webber, both of Portland, Me. Cohen possess ed Science, while Webber had strength. Both fought well and fast and seemed tired at the close. The contest was a draw. Tom Sawyer was referee. Tonight’s Bouts.
