LA PAGE. THE NEW HAMPSHIRE
MURDERER.
Decision of Chief Justice Cushing.-Iic
will be Granted New Trial.

Concord, August IL. In case of LaPage on
trial at special term of court in Janua-
AIRY last for murder of Josie Laugmaid of Penn
broke, in which Lap. age was found guilty, excep-
tons were taken by defendants counsel to the
admissbhty of evidence of Jullenne Rouse as
to rayisfing by respondent, the court to-day rem
dered opinion.
Chief Justice Gushing holds that the testimony
Of the witnesses, including the Watson woman,
was admissible. Then proceeding to the testi-
mony Of Julienne Rouse, the chief justice recap
tnlated her testimony, detailing her account of
alleged rape her by LaPage in Canada, in
1871. Evidence Of Julienne Rouse was abated,
uaked fact entirely divorced from the question at
issue. 1t was alleged to have taken place four
and half years before the Langmad murder, at
long distance and beyond the Jurisdiction Of the
State. A prisoner is presumed innocent until
found guilty. There must be shown connection
between the two transactions. He held that the
evidence was inadmssible, and respondent entitled
to a new rial.
Judges Ladd and Smith concurred. The ques-
ton as to whether LaPage will remain in prison
has not been decided, and time OF new trial will
De fixed BY the new court.

rillsbury as a Temperance Reformer-Eis
HypOcrisy Fully Revealed.


Many times we have revealed to the public the
true character of Eben F. Pillsbury; ofterer he
has written it with his own pen, making the dark
record in the columns Of the Franklin Patriot and
the Maine Standard but never until recently has
his cupidity and meanness been so glaringly con-
spicuous. According to his own showing, he
stands before the public as base pretender.
few years ago he paraded this State, delivering
temperance speeches, pretending to be in favor of
the suppression of liquor drinking and selling
But at the same time his whole sympathy has been
for the rumsellcrs and ia favor of the unrestraned
sale of intoxicating liquors. Witness his defence
Of the recently imprisoned rumsellers in the last
Standard. Our artist illustrated the grim process

way to their just deserts within prison walls

turing them. Should we print a picture Of
jackass, we suppose Pillsbury would fly into a
rage and accuse us of poking fun at his ancestors
He charges the Grand Jury of Kenpebec county
with refusing to find bills of indictment against
republican rumsellcrs, thus insulting jury, court
and county attorney. A lawyer remarked to US
Yesterday that the charge was sufficient 10 cause
Pillbury to be reprimanded by the bar before
which he practices. The fact is, that republicans
and democrats alike On the jury acted 10 perfect
harmony and with unanimity in finding bills
against rumsellers where there was sufficient
proof to justify it, whether the rumselers were
republicans or democrats The republicans were

Last evening, about eight o'clock, as Mr..
Smiley ard his wife, both quite aged, were riding
down Northei IN avenue, or Sand hill, the horse
became manageable, and started down hill at
a rapid pace. Whom nearly opposite Dyer's store,
the horse was sheerea to one side by Mr.. Smiley,
who supposed he could thus stop the hcadlong ca
reer of the animal, but instead of so doing the
wheels ran on bank, tipping out both of the &C.
cupants. The old gentleman did not appear to be
much hurt, though it is probable he viii! suffer
somewhat from lameness and bruises; Mrs. Smiley
was more seriously injured, but we under
stand no bones broken. She was taken to a
house nearby and was subsequently carried to the
residence Of Mr.. Alden Church, on Gage street.
and medical assistance summoned 1t was truly
a miraculous escape from instant death for both
occupants
Another run away accident occurred on Water
street, last evening, but luckily injured nobody to
any great extent. 1t seems that an excavation had
been made in the street near Williamson & Green
woods store for the erection Of hay scales, and
the earth was piled up alongside. a gentleman
and little boy riding up the street ard their
carriage ran against the earth, causing complete
upset The carriage was somewhat dcmoralized,
while the parties were despatched with mud; they
were not otherwise injured.

Mr. Waadell Of Y. c., made a conference
port on the Pacific Mail Steamship bill. The re-
port merely makes more explicit the language

was agreed to.
Mr.. Randall of Pa made conference report on
Indian appropriation bill lie explained that the
material point of difference between the two
courses had been the transfer of the Indian bu-
reau to the war department. The House had
three times indicated its purpose to have such
transfer and had passed special bill for the trans
fer, which had been sent to the Senate on the 10Th
of April last, and ever since remained Enacted on
IN that body. Time had come when one house or
other must yield i'll that particular. In view of
the Indian difficulties, the House conferees had
not thought it wise to continue longer its opposl-
ton to the expressed will of the Senate. The bill
a. originally passed by the House appropriated
So SOP. The Senate had increased it (by re-
storing the provision for the Indian bureau) to
81, 95S ,36l, as agreed on in the conference COM
m,tee. 1t appropriated $i,670,ll7, which was a
saving over last years bill OF So90, i3I. Ihe re-
port was agreed to.
The speaker pro TEN laid before the House
message from the President with communications
from the Sec'y OF War, General Sherman and
General Sheridan, recommending an increase Of

thority to call out five regiments of volunteer
cavalry of 1000 men each. Referred to the COM
mittee on military affairs.
Mr.. J. III. Bagley Of New York, made the con-
ference report on the bill to punish counterteitng
of trade mark goods.
Mr.. Hewitt of New York, in behalf of 1000 junk
dealers of New York city opposed the bill on the
ground that its provision could not be carried into
execution without suhjecting that large class OF
humble but respectable people to very great hard
ships.

Some little idea of the gigantic scale upon which
tie relief system of Odd Fellowship in America, is
conducted, may be gained from the fact. that dur
ing the last year, 1928 56 were paid for the re-
lief of sick brothers and the families of deceased
brothers. Supposipg man to count 500 per
muute working 10 hours per day, it would re-
quire over one month to count this sum. This
does not include the sum paid by Odd Fellows
mutual lief societies, and which would probably
increase the amount to $500 600. This is but
the work ola single year, sample ofthe immense
good the institution goes on steadily, quietly per-
forming, and this feature is but one Of the many
directions in which the order seeks to improve and
elevate the character and ameliora'e the condition
of mankind. 1t is enabled to do this grand work
by membership of over half million, annual
receipts of four and half m ilions of dollars,
and an accumulated fund and property Of nearly
one hundred millions. May the good work go
on.

Notes from Old Orchard Camp Ground.
The State Temperance Camp Meeting opened
on Wednesday. The opening address of Gov.
Conner was dignifed, manly and earnest pro-
duc,on, rejecting credit upon him in every
respect. While he gave an unmistakable token of
his earnest regard for the welfare and progress
Of the temperance movement, he did not lose
sight of lis official station and his language was
courteous and manly. He was greeted with three
hearty cheers upon his appearance and at the
close. He was obliged to leave after he
closed account of the accident to his father.
Mr.. Raper Of England, responded in behalf of
the foreign delegations. His speech was rich and
full of apt illustrations. He is doing a noble
work. and cannot fail to add much to the temper
ance strength wherever he may be.
Mrs. Clark next sang the beautiful song The
Cleaner" in q very effective manner.
Mrs. NJ. Z. Parker and Mrs. Anne Whittenmire
next spoke for a few minutes each. Mrs. Whit
tenmire's remarks were to the point. She was
for educating the young ladies' in temperance
sentiments, and through their influence make it
imperative upon the young men to abandon their
drinking habits or fair worse. In Cleveland, over
1900 young ladies were banded together to receive
10 attention from young men addicted to drinking.
She thought the time had come when they should
demand purity for purity, sobriety for sobrety
and honor for honor. Mrs. w. understands her
business, and has hit the nail the head.
