by the clerks returns received at the State
House that Hon. P. P. Bureigh, Republican
candidate for Senator in Aroostook county, is
defeated, and tina. Hon. Edmund Madigan is
elected by about Is majority. This result is
due to the returns from the Madawaska dis
trict where it is said the voting was kept up
for week. Outside of thu Madawaska dis
trict Mr. Burleigh is ahead of Mr.. Madigan by
800 votes. Thevote in Madawaska was larger
than that thrown in the Presidential year.

highly emotional touches abound in it, and il

to refuse the warrants.
Almost hourly during the two days previous to
the bringing out Of the articles OF impeachment
members of the House and Senate were coming
TO my Office urging me to issue the warrants and
TO stop this impeaoh nent business. Notably, ss
very anxious and active in this were Mr.. Herwig,
Of the Senate, and Mr.. Souer, OF the House. The
last one to approach me in the matter was bena-
tor Twitchel, who came into my private office
and assured me that II was the last chance

promise him then and there TO issue the war
rants all would be well. l refused rather

There was on trial for some days in the Fourth
District Court suit by g. Wolfe against one
Aurich, his landlord, claiming damages for an
unwarrantable issuance OF writ OF provisional
seizure. The case was given TO the jury, and
after q short delay they returned verdict for
the defendant. This did not seem to be just the
proper thing for the Wig rous cerebelum OF the
plaintiff, and accordingly, after the jury had
been discharged. Wolfe, remembering an old
sss le Of trial OF which Blackstone tells much,
solved to have new hearing of the oase accord
ing TO Coke or Lttleton, and thereupon he sp
pealed TO the "wager OF battle" According to
the old English law, party to a suit had the
right to try the justice Of his cause by a b ut
with his adver airy, and whoever might succumb
first, that unfortunate lost his case.
Wolfe knew this, and feeling I'll the inspiration
OF the "olden golden days." he resolved not to
remain satisfied with the jury's verdict. Aonord-
ingly, as soon as Autich reached the foot Of the
stairs Wolflet out with twelve pound left hander,
the bolt from which took Aurioh somewhere be-
tween the thorax and lumbar region, for the
victor In the jury trial succu ned at once.
Judge Houston, however, well grounded as he Il
in Blackstone, had some misgvings about this
new remedy of wager by battle. and Wolfe
although victor in it, was uncerem Jneousy
brought into his presence, and sfier 4 lcou'e
persuaded the daughty knight TO sojourn in the
parish prison for forty.eight hours.
