MRs. KINNEY-fhe trial of this unfortunate
woman for the poisoning of her husband COM
mences at Boston on Monday next. The Boston
Morning Herald gives some particulars respect
ing the accusation against her, which we do not
remember 10 have seen elsewhere. That paper
says:
ftOur readers will recellect that at the early
stage Of this exciting case, Mrs. Kinney was di-
rectIy and indirectly accused Of poisoning the
Rev. Mr. Freeland, and to satisfy the public
mind upon the subject, it was thought proper
that this body should be disintsrred; but no evil
denee was discovered that his death was ocea-
stoned by poison.
Mrs Kinney has been also accused of at
temptinr to poison her first husband, Mr. With
UNI. and this. dame Rumor, with her Thousand
tongues, saws was the cause of their separation.
To settle this question, letter was sent to Mr..
Withum, who now resides at Bangor, and in his
prompt reply he positively denies this charge.
Mrs. Kinney has also been accused of poison
ing the father Of Mr.. Freeman. To satisfy the
public mind, letter was sent to brother of
Mr.. Freeman, of Minot, Me-, and the following
is the copy of the letter containing his answer:
MNoT, Sept 10th, 1910.
Dear Sir-I received yours of tire Sth instant.
You write me that stories have been in circula-
ton, that Mrs. Kinney poisoned my father while
on a visit to Minot am aware that the report
in relation to my father is entirely false was
with him in his last sickness. BE was taken
sick before Mrs Kinney and her brother arrived
at his house. His sickness was but short one,
during which most of the family were with him.
am, very respectfully, your ob't. serv't,
ABBA S. FREEMAN.

We have report here that three hundred

SEVERE HAIL STORM AT NORFOLK AND PORTS
MoUTH.-The Norfolk Beacon of Thursday says,
that, about four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
that place was fEvisited by one OF the severes
hail storms, accompanied with tightening, thun
der and rain, within our experience. Some Of
the hailstoncs measured three and half inches
in circumference, and nine ofthem weighed three
ounces, and painful havoc was done not only to
our Office, but to the residences in the town gen
orally.
We little expected to have to beat retreat
from the chair editorial so soon, but we were
hniledin so boisterous and rude a manner, that
we had to give way in self defence
The Portsmouth Times and Republican OF
Wednesday, has the following:
ssJust as our paper was going to press, severe
gust Of wind, lightning and hail passed over
this town. The destruction to windows has ne
yer been equalled here. At least two thousand
panes Of glass were shattered in the ship houses

PopIsH CoNTRovERsY.-We see from the SsPi-
lot and Transcript" published in Baltimore, that
its editor, Duff Green, himself an able writer,
has expressed his determination to expose the
hostile bearings of popery on free government
This, we believe, is the first instance IN our
country, in which political and commercial pa
per has ventured to announce such an intentions
but it will not be the last if politicians will only
open their eyes to the true nature of the question
II is the very genius of the religion to intertwine
itself with every civil regulation, to seek after
temporal power, and to mix itself with politics
for this end; and should it obtain an ascendaney,
the peculiar danger is, that it acknowledges al
legiance to foreign Potentate, whose claims are
paramount to every other consideration. Should
the Roman Catholics ever obtain the power IN
this country, the country itself would be gov
emed by the Pope of Rome; he would net only
dictate in matters of religion, but undertake to
mould the civil institutions Of the land to suit his
purpose European countries afford living and
melancholy proof that liberty and rational
happiness are the first victims of the success of
this politico-religious system. We wish net to
deprive the Roman Catholics ofia single civil or
religious right, but if, as religious community,
they shall band together for independent political
purposes, the tocsin ofalarm must be sounded
Discussion can dc no harm. The secularpapers
may take it up as political question, and If the
Roman Catholics can make it appear that their
interchangeable religion is so modified by republic
can institutions as not to threaten their stability
and perpetuity let them do it; but until they can
do it. we shall believe that the ascendancy ofpo-
perry Is consistent only with the triumph of po-
litical despotism.

FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF THE SPLENDID
CHANDELIER OF THE U. S. HALL OF REPRE-
sENTATIvEs.-O Friday morning last, the SPLEEN
did Chandelier in the Hall of the House of Re
presentives, fell with tremendous crash, and
was broken into thousands of pieces. Had it
occurred two hours later in the day, VIXEN the
House was in session, the consequences would
have been most disastrous The Madisonian
gives the following particulars:
EfThe magnificent Chandelier in the Hall of
Representatives, which attracted so much admi-
ration, is Il mass of ruins. Aboat ten o'clock,
Yesterday, it fell with a tremendous crash; and
the elegant lamp shades and crystal drops, and
richly wrought ornaments were shattered to pie
ces,-the immense frame work broken up-seve-
raj desks and chairs destroyed-but, most fortu-
nately, no one was injured. On Tuesday eve
ming it was lighted, to satisfy the curiosity of
the members, many of whom were present, and
were highly pleased with the truly splendid effect
it produced when fully illuminated. Yesterday
morning, two attendants were engaged in clean
sing it, and taking out the old OIL for the purpose
of supplying the lamp with some of a superior
quality They suddenly found the chandelier
begin to ascend, and, in spite of all their e1er
tions-tAey throwing their weight upon tit
went up along the whole rod to the dome, and
truck with great violence against the frame
work below the sky-lght; and, instantly, the
whsle mass, chandelier, rod, fixtures and all,
tumbled down. The two workmen, and the
Hon. Mr.. Goode, of Ohio, who was standing
near them, had hardly time to get out of the way.
Hon. Mr. Dennis, of Maryland, was also pre-
sent, but was in remote and safe part eff the
Hall.
"Most fortunately the House was not in ses-
sion, else, the consequences would have been
such as we shudder to contemplate. Probably
twenty or thirty members would have been killed
or MANNED for life.
''The eloquent chaplain, (Mr. Cookman,) made
an appropriate allusion to the circumstance in
his opening prayer, and returned thanks to
Divine Providence, on the part of the members,
for their escape from this great danger.
eve forbear, at present, to speak of the eau
ses of the accident, as they will, undoubtedly
be the subject of investigation. 1t is not likely,
that another chandelierwill be raised in the Hall
very soon"
The chandelier was, we learn, of American
manufacture, weighed over seven thousand
pounds, and cost about FIVE thousand dollars
1t was thirteen feet in diameter, contained rs
argand burners, and was ornamented with 5000
cut-glass spangles, and nearly as many cut-glass
lustres
