this prosecution
After serious and prolonged elaboration
over all the details of the case my investiga-
| tons satisfied me that the men who were in
dicted were guilty men and merited the ex-
| treme punishment of the Law. They had pro-
jected, under cover of official power and
under color of official authority, a systematic
| scheme of elaboration of the robbery of the
public treasury. To carry out that plan they
had laid their hands upon q fund dedicated
by law to a great public service, service
that is conspicuouslv one of the fruits and
causes OF our civilization. our special COM
fort, our commercial prosperity and our ma
tional growth. Millions of that money was
perverted to their own private gain and d.
vided for their own personal purposes. 1t
was condigne act of infamous conspiracy,
and as such deserves the severest punish
ment the law can infict. Such men are trail
tors to social and official duty, and they are
public enemies against whom the authority
of the law must be executed without hesita-
ton or reluctance. The higher their past
positions, the greater their sin. and sterner
must be their punishment. desire to call
attention to the fact that the officers of the
law and those who have directly been aiding
have been from the first enclosed with the
snares, pitfalls and every species of vile de-
vice that could be invented to harm them,
hinder their usefulness and prevent admin
istration af justice. Some portions of this
community who surrounded these defendants
and who have enjoyed. or are enjoying,
minor official positions, know no allegiance
to any one but this band of robbers, and will
do no service to any one but these evil en-
ployers. From motives of gain or corrupt
consideration, they are saturated with affini-
ties for these bad men, and they have con-
tributed, by every means in their power, at
the bidding of their masters, to obstruct pub
lie justice and to defame its officers, with
the hope of securing the acquittal and escape
of the worst band of organized scoundrels
that ever existed since the commencement
of the government.
Very respectfully.

AN ANIMATED SCENE.
Two Roughs in Attempting to beat their
Fare on a Railroad Train are
Roughly Handled.
BANGOR, Nov 90.

BANGOR, Nov 26.
An animated scene occurred, Saturday
evening, on the Maine Central train running
from Bangor to Oldtown. George Woodbury.
was conductor of the tram. Two drunken
roughs refused to pay their fare. One offered
to resist, but was quickly subdued and be-
came very submissive The other, however,
was very demonstrative and threatened TO
thresh all the train hands. The passengers
came to the assistance at once and gave the
fellow a rough handling. He finally paid his
fare to Veazie, but at that station got on
again and began further trouble. The train
stopped and he was put off. Before the train
started again he secured club and struck at
Conductor Woodbury.. The blow was ward
ed of BY passenger, who received the blow
on the head. Conductor Woodbury. escaped
with only a slight wound in the mouth. The
fellow in his desperation then came at the
conductor and baggage master with a large
knife, but was prevented from doing any
injury. After the train left he vented his
spite by breaking panels in the railroad sta
ton at Veazie. His name is Will Smith of
Veazie and he will be summarily treated by
the law.

The postmaster and assistant, postmaster
removed Saturday by the President for
alleged active sympathy with the star route
defendants, have addressed a letter to the
President asking for an investigation. They
pronounce the allegation false in every par
ticular. They say as officers they are willing
to yield, but to all suspicious on our charac-
tiers we enter our earnest protest. There is
much speculation here tonight as to the prob
able successor of Marshall Henry. Two
men thus far have been prominently dis
cussed, Brewster Cameron and James X.
Young, both employees Of the department of
justice. 1t is thought that the selection of
Cameron would be inexpedient as he is con-

son bribery case now pending in the police
court. Young is journalist who now holds

ne hatahdln Iron company suspended
payment today. The unsettled debts amount
to over 500, 900.
BANGOR. Nov 20.
The katahdin Iron Co., whose failure was
announced Saturday, have called a meeting
of the creditors here for Wednesday, Nov.
10Th. The Company's embarrassment was
FASTENED by the recent failure of ID. w.
Coolidge in Portland, who held large notes
of the katahdin Iron Co, which went to pro-
test in Portland Bank. The outstanding
debts of the Company are reported from
$50, 900 to 800, 900, major part in this vicin-
ity, some in Portland, and a small amount
in Boston. The katahdin Iron Co. has a
capital of 100000. Hon. A. z. Gould OF
Thomaston, is president and o. w. Davis,
Jr. of Bangor, treasurer. The Company was
practically a close corporation and Gould
and Davis the principal stockholders. The
Company has expended large amount of
capital on the works and has an elaborate
and costly plant. The works are in excel
lent repair and turning out the usual output
of iron. The reason for the suspension is
understood to be the unsatisfactory condition
for some time of the iron market, and the
fact that the Company has for long time
been hampered with debts of long standing
An effort was in progress looking to an in
crease of the capital of the Company, when
the Portland failure necessitated the sus-
pension.
