Alleged Poisoning Case.

On Wednesday of this week, City
Marshal Bolton was informed that John
,Iellieon of Odtown. had attempted on the
previous night to poison his wife, Mary j
,Jellison, who is at work in Walkers
boarding house near Morse's Mills, in this
city. Maj. Bolton Immediately proceeded
to;inyestigate the case, heard Mrs. Jelli-
sons statement and obtained warrant
for Jellison, who was arrested in Oldtown
yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Lancaster
and brought to this city for examination
,Jellison was arraigned before the Police
Court yesterday, plead mot guilty" and
not being ready for trial, the case was
continued to ten O'Clock this forenoon.
His bail was fixed at $4,000, and being
unable to furnish sureties he was commit
ted.
1t appears that Jellison and his wife
have not lived happily together, and about
a year ago separated, though he has been
in the habit of visiting her frequently since
that time-hc being employed in Oldtown
and she in this city, as above stated. Last
Tuesday he came here, visited his wife
and wanted her to come down and stay
over night with him at the National House.
She refused, and they stopped at Walkers
where she worked. The substance of her
statement is that she awoke about o'clock
in the morning with very bitter taste in
her mouth, which was dry and parched,
and putting up her hand she found a
quantity OF fine powder on her face and
lips. She1 Immediately arose, saying,
John, you have poisoned me-" He
made some reply, and feeling very sick,
she vomited a great deal, being careful
not to swallow, and rinsing her mouth.
A quantity of white powder was found on
her pillow and the upper part of the bed,
which was preserved and submitted to
analysis. Competent authority pronounces
this powder to be strychnine. Bangor

A Word to the Age Editor.

EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: The editor
of the Age tries to make it appear that
the reason why | have not got rich at
shipbnilding is because | have allowed
the ''New York sharpers" to get all the
profits of my labor AS to New York
parties, have never had reason to com
plain OF them in any transactions. They
have put great many hundred thousand
dollars into ships here, and Belfast me-
chanics have got their full share of the
benefits As for myself, my losses have
been more in owning vessel property than
in building vessels. Though not rich, it
is some consolation TO know that in build-
ing IL hundred vessels in the last 80 wears,
varying from $50 to 1900 tons, and EN-
ploying from so to 80 men per year,
have been Of some benefit to the place

| is the difficulty in getting over the coun-
| try As 4 general thing the land around
| the Sound IS covered with a very heavy
growth of timber, good for all practical
purposes except finishing lumber, Still
| there are some kinds that answer we'll for
planning, but these are not plenty.
| For many reasons i consider an invest
ment in timber lands at the present time
| very unsafe. One great reason is the
danger to The timber from fire. In tray
cling more than a hundred miles through
heavy timber, found more than one half
had been burned over, and some two or
three times, so that the trees were of no
value whatever. Some advance the idea
that second growth will in time be
| worth as much as the first, but | see no
signs OF it at present. Willows, cherry
trees, hazel and blackberry bushes cannot
be of much value. cannot say but that
the growth may change in time, as it
often does. In 1912 there was large
tract burned, and there is no indication
at this time of a better growth Another
reason is that | find the old Green In
dian notion, with which towns in the
vicinity of Belfast were troubled fifty
years ago, prevails here to very great
exten.-which is, that every man takes
all the best trees on the land adjoining
his, Could the DIrchaSar he on the snot
or operating on his land, it would be
very different; but in this case money
must he lost, as numbering at present
prices will not pay expenses. The rea-
son OF this is, that the owner of land pur
chased at present prices, must come in
competition with those that paid n less
price. Two men from our State purchas-
ed 100, 900 acres of the best timber lands

A Heartless Case Of DesertiOn---A Re-
jected Prayer--AlOne and Penniless.

From the Sioux City Journal
Early last spring a man by the name
of Eddy, hailing from the eastern part
of this StBte, arrived in this city.
After a residence of a few weeks he
took his departure, and was not heard
of afterward until a few days ago.
Following close upon the heels of his
departure, there arrived in the city q
woman accompanied by a small boy.
The woman soon made her business
known to the City Marshal, represent
ing that she was the wife of Eddy, and
the bright little boy was his son. Mrs.
Eddy remained ID the city until her
money vas nearly exhausted before she
succeeded in finding a trace of her hus-
bands whereabouts. Byextensive CORES
pondence n dinquiry, she finally learned
that he was located on Brule Greek, in
Dakota, for which place she imme-
diately set out with her little boy,
thinking that their presence, perhaps,
would again rekindle the old love he
once bore for them. On arriving there
she found him living with another
woman, named Kerr, and he perempto-
rily refused to have anything whatever
to do with either her or the boy. The
poor, deserted and destitute wife turned
her back upon the miserable wretch,
and left him with his paramount. She
was now entirely out OF funds, but held
a promissory note for SIS against her
husband, which she had come in pos
session of before leaving their home in
the eastern part of this state, which
she sold for $50 to a Mr.. Carpenter, a
farmer in Dakota, and made several
attempts to see her husband and induce
him to return with her and the baby to
their home in Iowa; but all in vain.
he was completely estranged from
them, and entirely in the power of his
paramour. She gave him up in des-
pair and set out for her home. On ar
irving in this city again, about two
weeks ago, she found herself out of
money, among strangers and unable to
obtain employment. Her condition,
coming to the notice of Mr.. Baker, the
proprietor of the International Hotel,
of this city, he took her to his house
until she could get employment, where
she is at present. But Mr.. Baker, feel
ing unable to keep her any longer, has
notified her too seek lodgings elsewhere.
The case is a very hard one, and the
poor woman is represented as being
driven to the verge of despair by her
misfortunes

Accommodating Oergymen.

One of the papers tells the story of a
man coming into church after the SER
mon had begun; ~whereupon the preach
er paused and said to him: "Glad 10
see you, sirl Come in, come in Al
ways glad to see those here late who
can't come early" To which saluta-
ton the stranger, taking his seat, as
coolly replied: s'Thank you; would
you favor me with the textl" Ger
talnly,n was the answer; which was
done, and the discourse moved on as
before. This recalls a Missouri Incl
dent. One cold night Rev. DR.. Ezra
s. Ely, of Presbyteriaa fame, was
preaching in a prairie farm houses
When about a third through the ser
mon, two late corners rode up to the
door and entered. The Doctor stopped
and said that, as these friends we're
very cold with their ride, the meeting
would sing a hymn while they were
warming themselves. Which being
done, he observed that, as they had
taken so much trouble to come, he
would begin his discourse again for
their benefit; and taking the text ac-
cordingly, he commenced once more at
the beginning, and repeated his SER
mon, rather more to their ~edification
than to that of the rest of the audience,
perhaps.

An Incident of the Richmond Fire.

Prof. MaiIlefert, of New York, who
has been engaged as engineer in the
removal of the James River obstruc-
tions, had a singular adventure at the
fire in Richmond the other day. He
was stopping at the Spotswood House.
He says:
"Being one of the first to wake up at
the alarm of fire / lost no time in partly
dressing and succeeded in saving near
ly all my wardrobe, two Trunks and q
large bundle; after which I turned my
attention to others in need of help, and
on my fourth trip up to the second
floor was fortunate Cor unfortunate
enough to find in bursting a room door
open two gentlemen, side by side, en-
joying the effects of Christmas
spiritually. After trying, but in
vain, to wake them up to
the reality of their awful position j
turned out of bed, and he, being
awakened so suddenly and seeing the
flames in all their ghastliness through
the influence of malt extract, took me,
no doubt, for some intruder, and not
being prepared or willing to submit to
intrusion, straightway, with energy
worthy of a better cause, threatened to
mash me, and with sundry adiectives
went to bed again. Finding no time
was to be lost I used force, and for a
time a fierce struggle was carried on in
this room of death. Twas now under,
not on top. Finally, after being scratch
ed and kicked numerically, I got the
best of this hfe-wrestling, and dragging
the poor fellow through the hall, flung
him headlong down the narrow stairs
into the arms of some men who happen
ed to be there. Returning to his com.
panion found him beyond help-the
flames had caught their unconscious
prey"

from Juniper Berries; very little sugar
is used, and a small proportion ofspirit.
It is more palatable than any now IN

its fragrance; the action of a fame de-
stroys this (its active principle,) leaving
a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine
is the color of ingredients. The Buehu
in roy preparation predominates. The
smallest quantity of the other ingredi-
ents are added to prevent fermentation;
upon inspection it viii be found not to
be a Tincture, as made in Pharmaeopea,
nor is it a syrup-and therefore can be
used In cases where cases where fever
and Inflammation exist. In this you
have the knowledge of the ingredients
