ers were present. Mrs. L. c. Partington of
New York, formerly of Maine, was with us,
and the members thoroughly enjoyed her
talks on that day. The following resolutions
were adopted
Resolved. That we reaffirm our abiding
conviction, strengthened by the historic evils
of intempersnce, that the use of all intoxi-
eating drinks as a beverage is evil and only
evil and that this painful revelation calls for
the untIring and organic action of all Chris
tans, philanthropists and friends of humani.
ty, to persistently labor for the overthrow of
this worldwide evil and destroyer.
ReSoired, That the present outlook of the
cause of total abstinence in Maine, in the
United States and in Europe, gives prophetic
assurance that wise, persistent, individual
and organized temperance effort is in the
future to triumph in human society through
out the world, and thus make intemperance
and its uncomfortable wretchedness an event
in the past history of the human family.
Resotred, That we devoutlv recognize the
merciful dispensation of God in the wonder
full revolution in temperance sentiment and
State legislation which have thus far crowned
the labors of temperance workers, thus in
spring assurance that the temperance work.
ers of the present time may through wise ac-
ton have the same Divine aid and CORE
spending success wonderfully revealed in
the history of the past.
Resotred That we specially honor mem.
bers of our National Congress, who in their
personal habits and official position sustain
the principles of total abstinence, and we
pledge to them our hearty cooperation in
their noble efforts to induce national legisla-
ton for the suppression and overthrow of
the rum power in the nation.
Resoired That whereas the overthrow of
the liquor traffic is one of the most important
questions before the people, therefore we
cannot consistently support any political
party or candidate that is not fully committed
to that issue.
Resofred, That whereas the letter of our
obligation does not prohibit the use of home.

Motion for q New Trial Made by Mr..
Henkle-New Trial Granted.
wAsHrseros, Sept Is.

WAsHIxGroN, Sept 10.
Few spectators were present when the
criminal court was called to order this morn
ing. Miner and Rerdell. in custody of the
bailiffs, were in.1
Mr. IIenkle, counsel for Miner and Rerdeii,
filed various afidavits upon which he based
his motion for a new trial.
Merrick then said that while he had not
had the opportunity of personal communica-
ton With the Attorney General, he must take
the responsibility of doing his duty.
Deeply guilty in point of morals OF law as
Rerdeil and Miner are, the crime perpetrated
was the scheme and device of others. The
government of the United states cannot con-
sistently with its dignity, object by practical
resistance to the motion made to set aside
such verdict, and bring to trial again both
masters md servants in order that full Justice
NAV be done. The government of the United
States seeks simply justice. With these few
remarks the government council leave the
subject of this motion to the discretion OF the
court, not conserving, but not resisting, hop
ing for the purity of its record, resolved on
prosecution OF criminals. but as counsel for
the United States, feel it my duty not to
Oppose the motion for a new trial.
The government itself is not entirely salts
fed by any means with this verdict, which
subjects the masters to re-trial, and convlcts
the servants. The jury presumably found
evidence of conspiracy to defraud the United
States. Henkle and Merrick debated the
grounds upon which the verdict should be
set aside, Merrick contending that the YER
dict rendered was consistent and logic and
correct in principle and that he would resist
setting aside the verdict upon Dickson's
affidavit, and Henkle proceeded to argue that
the verdict should be set aside on the ground
that the jury had been tempered with. and in
conclusion said the court room was dotted all
over with spoilers whose business it was to
shadow jurors and counsel.
The witness and some of the viest mem
bers of this community, were right here all
through this trial doing everything in the SER
vice Of the government
Mr.. Merrick said they would prove, in due
season, this approach Of Dickson was a ''get
up thing on the defendants side
Mr.. Carpenter--You will have a hard time
to do that.
MIR. Merrick-I don't know whether we
will or not.
The conversation turned upon the corrup-
ton of the jury, and no brides being offered,
the court said that there was nothing in the
affidavits to satisfy the court that there was
any misconduct in the jury room.
The court grants new trial, therefore, as
to all except Turner and Peck. Miner and
Rerdell were then released upon bail.

Our Victory Abroad.

There is almost as much joy in other
States among republicans over the victory
in Maine sthere isamong ourown citizens.
Our republican exchanges in the country
It large express the highest satisfaction
q the result. They rejoice at the defeat
Of the corrupt coalition denominated fus-
ion, also at the rebuke administered to
Governor Plaisted for his high-hahded
proceedings and the discontinue Of the
party that tried to steal the State in 1880.
But more than all they rejoice that the
republican party Of Maine has done its
duty In electing legislature that will re-
elect Mr.. Frye to the Senate for six years
from the fourth vf March, and has given
I4add and Murch leave to retire from the
House and chosen full delegation of re-
publicans to that body. Great importance
was given to those things in the campaign
by republican speakers and newspapers,
but not more than they deserved. Even
now. after the result in Maine. there is
doubt about securing a republican major
ity in the next House and Senate.
But the victory in Maine has had the
effect to inspire republicans in all the
States to work in hope and faith. and will
spur them to redonbled exertions to win
success in the elections yet to be held this
year,

british Successful in Choice Of Position
American Team Shooting Badly.

CREEpxooR, Sept Is.
A bright clear day gladdened the hearts OF

blew directly across the range, causing the
marksmen to make elevations of from 81 10
1 points, while the windage allowance Will
be about II points. Sir Henry Halford and
Col. Bodin again tossed for targets on long
ranges, and Sir Henry won. The British
selected what the rifiemen considered the
best targets on the range. but if the wind
changes, the smoke from the American rlnes
will annoy their antagonists considerably.
Sergeants Dolan and Paulding both express
confidence in the Americans picking up the
10 points the British gained yesterday Both
teams were on the ground early, the British
driving over from Garden City. The atten-
dance promises to be much larger than yester-
day. Among the many prominent arrivals
are Gen. Hancock and Major Wharton. The
first shot at the 500 yard range was fired by
Parry of the British team. He scored a
centre. Kinds shot the first for the Ameri-
cans, but failed to score. The American
team are shooting badly, Kinds making
another miss, Dolan scoring but 2. and Ogden
.. On his third shot Kinds secured the
elevation and scored 3. The following is the
score at 500 yards: British-Heap 10, Parry

Thus far seven members of the Forty
