Nh. ROYALS REMARKS.

., NIB. ROYALS 5 REMARKS. .t.-.y
Mr.. ROYAL followed Mr.. Wise in behalf oil
the accused. MIR. Royal said he had no
doubt that the jury had been as much enter
tanned by the nervous cloquence of MIR.
Wise, his learned friend, as he had. He
thought, however, that the case would be
much more easily solved If he had followed the
legal evidence in the case, lie (Mr. ROyalD
thought he could prove to the satisfaction OF
the jury that the prisoner is not guilty, aud
that if possible they would say even more
than that, if it were admissible. The Com
monwealth, he said, had undoubtedly proven
that the prisoner did make the alteration
but did he make it with the intent to de-
fraud? That, be considered, was the ques"
ton to be discussed. =
Mr.. Royal, after briefly introducing bis
remarks, proceeded to review the proceed
ings had at the several meetings OF tue sink.
ing fund commissioners, and to discuss the
action of the Board and the facts connected
with; the investigation. He then set out to
prove that if Mr. Coleman was willing to
confess the crime, Of forgery, Why was be
not willing to tell the motive! We hear In
the next breath that Colonel Mayo asks him
how many bonds are given, and he says not
one-not one single bond is missing.

question whether the CommonweaIth's at
loruey had proven that any bonds had been
stolen. He contended that Mr.. Wise, iu.s
stead of proving that sixteen bonds are miss.
ing, has proven that every bond which ought
to be there is there. As to the lime When
Mr.. Rye was a member Of the Board, no
count was made to see that oil the bonds
were there when he left. Are you to make
Mr. Coleman responsible for what Mr.. Rye
may have taken of with him.! Would this
be fair or justf -:

yersa,ion with Mr.. Wise, in wbieh. Mr..
wise said he would prove that Mr.. Coleman
had gone to Baltimore -aad bought certain
bonds, which were subsequently brought TO

MINNESOTA.

st. Paul, 20. Ex-Attorney General Clarke
of Manitoba, was struck twice on the head
with slung shot last night, in front of the
Metropolitan Hotel, by some persons to him
unknown. This morning while he was leav-
ing for the east, he was set upon by a crowd
of ruffians from Minneapolis, headed by Mike
Hay. chief of police of that city, who beat
and kicked Clarke savagely, and but for the
interference of one or two of our citizens he
doubtless would have been killed. He was
taken into a car and left on the train; but it is
feared he is dangerously hurt, being in poor
health. Hay was arrested and held for trial.
He is one of the Minneapolis party who were
imprisoned last year at Winnipeg for an al
legged attempt to kidnap Lord Gordon, and
the murderous attack on Clarke is in revenge
for his action for public prosecution.

TILTON-BEECHER.
Tilton's Statement Submitted.

New York, 10. At an interview between
Theodore Tilton and a reporter to-day, the
former said that his statement was finished
this Monday morning; that he had been
before notary public and subscribed to an
oath as to the truth of the different assertions
therein contained; that he was simply at that
hour p. m,-awsiting the time of the
meeting of the committee, when he should
proceed to their rooms and lay the document
before them. OF its contents he said perhaps
1t would be unwise to give any indication,
and the publication rested with the commit
tee, and depended on their action. He said
having finished his statement and handed ii
to the committee, it would be easily nnder
stood, and the best course for him to pursue
was that of silence.
Mr.. Tilton looked and acted some what ner-
vous and is very pale.
Mr.. Tilton appeared before the committee
at o'clock tonight. He probably read his
statement.

The Maine Editorial Excursionists.

The Editors and their friends who have been
disporting themselves among the hills and
lakes of New Hampshire, returned through
Portland Saturday noon, travel-stained, sun
burnt and dusty, but happy and undoubtly re-
freshed in body aud spirit for their work at
home. They had a good time all the way
around, especially in the White Mountains,
and tell fair story at their own expense. 1t
seems that when they drove up in coaches to
the Glen House and dismounted with some
parade, each adorned with the handsome white
and gold badge of the Association, lady on
the piazza asked her companion who they
were. He, q somewhat gruff old codger,
answered in tone audible to them, "Some
set OF ID deadheads or other" This was
near enough the fact to be received with de-
light by the victims. Friday night was spent
at Wolfboro', where in the evening the As
ISOLATION was called together in the spacious
parlor of the Pavilion Hotel, with the genial
Homan in the chair, and the following series
of resolutions were unanimously adopted:

A young lady by the name of Mary Jewett,
died suddenly in fit at the factory boarding
house in this city on Wednesday evening last
| She was apparently well during the day, and
| worked in the mill as usual Her parents re-
side in Belgrade, where her body was carried
| for interment.
Mr. Joseph Sawyer of this city fell from a
load of hay on Friday afternoon last, fractur.
ing the upper third of the right thigh bone.
| The injury caused severe pain, and it will be
some weeks before Mr.. S. will be able to at
tend to business. To a man of the age of Mr..
Sawyer such an accident will prove more Sc
we're than to a younger person.
Mr.. Edward A. Thomas, formerly of this
city, now clerk in an apothecary store in
Damariscotta, was thrown from an express
wagon on Thursday last, spraining his right
ANGLE so az to disable him from walking with
out crutches. lie was able to visit his par
ents and friends in this city on Friday, and
will not long be detained from business.
On Thursday last a child about two years
OF age fell from bed in a house in Chelsea,
opposite this city, injuring the left shoulder,
but not seriously, as no bones were broken.
On Friday forenoon. George Dingley,
about 20 years of age, son of Robert Ding
ley of this city, fell eighteen feet from the
staging at Curriers' coal yard, dslocatng
and fracturing his right wrist and severely in
juring both ancles-a narrow escape from in
slant death.
A young son Of Frank B. Howe of this
city, was injured by the falling of a window
blind from the second story of his house on
Saturday forenoon last. The boys mother
was trying to open the blind, when it fell,
striking the lad on the side of his nose, caus-
ing slight flesh wound.
Miss Hannah Coughlin of New Brunswick,
aged twenty -one years, who has been resid
ing with her brother in the house next north
to the South Congregational church in this
city, died suddenly, of pneumonia, ON Satur-
day night last. Her body was sent to her
home for interment
On Sunday afternoon last, one of the RATS
men on the river was earelessly handling
loaded pistol, when it exploded, sending the
ball through one of his left hand fingers,
causing painful, though not serious wound.
Pooling with firearms is not profitable in the
long run.
1t is TO be regretted that the good name of
this city suffers immensely from the rowdy
demonstrations too frequently exhibited at
our railroad station on the arrival of the
evening train. On Saturday night last, es-
pecially, it was hazardous undertaking for
passengers to alight from the train or force
their way on board. We could fully agree
with the conductor in The remark that such
conduct on the part of the rabble was most
disgraceful, rendering it dangerous to the
travelling public to make a stop at our sta
ton. A reform should be inau eurated and
that right speedily.
