whitman Poisoning Case.

DR.. Spears, under arrest as accessory to the
murder of Mrs. Whitman of Charlestown, Mass,
while he chafes under his confinement says he
would rather rot in his cell than not come out
with clean and untarnished record before the
public. There Is little if any evidence to hold
him, and that he will be acquitted there is
hardly any doubt. 1t was stated Monday that
he would, in the event of discharge, be rear
rested as government witness against the
girl. His counsel are very anxious that the
government show its hand, so far as their client
is concerned, that he may no longer be in con-
fnement. They would have pushed an ar
raignment Monday, but do not care to impair
the girls case by separate arraignment 1t is
the general belief that, even if the girl is
guilty, the testimony is not strong enough to
convict her, and, if she does not criminate her
self, which is not a probable event, she will
have to be acquitted. There is, undoubtedly,
evidence enough to hold her, and bind the case
over to the high court. and the arrai gnment to-
day will be only preliminary character. The
result of the autopsy will be announced to-day.

From James M. Miner. M. ID.

An experience of about five months of daily
use of the Reactionary LITTER convinces me of
its great utility. have been a sufferer from
dyspepsia from early life, and have tried al
most every known form Of exercise, and not
without bentft, but have found none which at
all compares with the Health Lift. 1t has
greatly improved my health and increased the
strength and activity of both mind and body
That an exercise of such short duration, oc-
cupying. including rests, not more than twenty
minutes, should produce such remarkable re-
suits seems to be in violation of hitherto we'll
recognized principle, that exercise to be bene-
fetal must be moderate in degree and long
continued. The explanation may Re found in
the fact that, owing to the position assumed,
almost every muscle of the body is brought in
to strong and simultaneous action "a result not
produced by any other form of exercise) caus.
ing more perfect diffusion of blood and nerve
force, not only to the muscles themselves, but
to all the other structures OF the body.
In Short the Health Lift accelerates to a
high degree and exalts to great perfection all
the ordinary processes of nutrition, forming
new material in larger quantities and of better
quality, removing at the same time, and with
like rspidity, the effete materiel by oxidation
IA true combustion as well as purifcatiop),
by which both warmth and power are simulta-
neously furnished in Increased quantities to
constantly renewed fabric.
1t seems to he especially adapted to the pc
culiar exigencies of American life, in which a
hot and impetuous haste imperiousy demands
every time-saving expedient, necessity the
Health Lift fulfils to a remarkable degree and
most efficiently.
In conclusion, may add that the mechani-
cal Ingenuity and compactness of the "LIF-
TER" with its combination of levers, are very
remarkable and do great credit to the inventor

The annual meeting Of the Home for AGED
Women was held yesterday afternoon at the

cises were conducted by Rev. Herbert W.

board of managers was read and accepted as
was also the Treasurer's report, both of which
follow:
MANAGERS REPORT.
Our oath annual report must be in many
respect similar to those of preceding years.
we have not the new interests which associa-
tons OF more varied character and objects
offer, where the work often extends Itself in
new directions. Year by year the work of the
Home can but repeat itself, except only, as an
increase of ability may cause its blessings to
reach wider circl'. Since our last report
have died; one at the advanced age of 90,
eleven of which have been passed in the home;
another had enjoyed its blessings but tw elye-
month less. The list of applicants more than
Keeps pace with the capacity of the building,
and we are obliged to defer the admission Of
family numbers twenty members, the general
health is very good. Their quiet, uneventful
lives are frightened by frequent visits of the
managers, under whose watchful care they
seem contented and happy. Daring the past
year special effort has been required to meet
the demands upon us, as the depression in
business makes itself felt not only In dimin-
ished dividends, but fewer donations; yet our
Treasurer's report will show that we have not
been forgotten. Some months ago we secured
property in Deering in which one of our in.
mates held an interest. This we have since
sold, and have thus been enabled to materially
reduce our debt While we are not unmnd-
full of the many calls upon the charitable, we
would urge the claims of those, whom
bereavement or misfortune has made homeless,
when need of loving attention and the COM
fort of home is scarcely less than in childhood.
We gratefully acknowledge the kindness of
friends for the favors of the past year and
present our warmest thanks to those who have
remembered us in timely donations of money,
fruit, delicacies and other provision for the
household; the physicians. whose attentions
have been freely given; the ministers and
others who have kindly conducted the Sunday
services, and the proprietors of the newspapers
for gratuitous copies, and courteously inserting

THE LUBEc FERRY STEAMER-The Lnbec
ferry steamer "Spray" on landing her passen-
gers at Union wharf, Eastport, near low tide
ran her shoe into the mud and stuck fast. The
tide on the day was the lowest remembered at
that port. AS the tide fell the steamer fell over
on her side, and filed as the tide came up.
Friday night an unsuccessful attempt was
made to raise her. On Saturday night G. s.
Huston succeeded in raising her by means of
chains placed beneath her bow and stern and
made fast to spars, which were secured to
lighters. Sunday she was pumped out and
getting up steam she proceeded to Lubec with
slight damage.
