Wort is, under such circumstances, a Prize
less boon to such a person.
Bare assertions of proprietors have come
to possess less force than they frequently
merit. The cause of this condition Of popu-
lar skepticism is, in the main, to be found in
the fact that charlGtanism covers our broad
land. Meritorious articles are too frequently
found in bad company.
The proprietors of Kidney Wort always
prOUe all their assertions touching the merits
of their preparations. When We affirm,
therefore, that kidney-Wort is 4 specific for
5ust such disorders as have been mentioned
IN this article, the proof, too, belongs to and

THE CAPE SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Arrest Inst Evening of George Martin
and His Father.

1t seems that the Martin who did the shoot
John who is at the Jail states that shortly after
the fire of 1866, his father who was then rail-
road contractor, began to build house ON
Briggs street. He lacked funds to finish the
house and hired $500 of Alvin Deering. After
the house was built, he took contract on the
Bangor and Bucksport railroad, and took his
sons, George and John, down there to work
with him. He subsequently sent $500 and in
terest to his wife, and she paid it to Mr.. Deer
ing, who said he would cancel the mortgage
the next day. But he never did SO, according
to Johns statement Instead of that Deering
finally foreclosed on the mortgage and took
the house.
The Martins have been desperate for some
time. A week or two ago lawyer of this city
had occasion to call at Martins house on bust
ness CONNECTED with this mortgage, when
George Martin drew a revolver and threatened
to shoot him. The services Of deputy sheriff
were secured and the lawyer transacted the
business.
Sheriffs Sargent and Jordan went out to the
AOubo VI tuo uudrtlub III lllSOulds 1u6lT OU-
iect was to arrest not only George but also the
father of the boys, Patrick Martin, warrant
having been issued for the latter on complaint
charging him with having threatened last
spring to shoot Mr.. Alvin Deering on account
of trouble over titles to land.
There are three families occupying the
house with the Martins, and all the members
when questioned concerning the whereabouts
of the two men declared their complete
ignorance. Mrs. Martin asserted that her
husband (Patrick) had gone to the city. Some
thing in the manner Of the woman convinced
Deputy Sargent that the men were not far off.
Deputy Jordan stationed himself at the door
to prevent egress, while Deputy Sargent pro
ceeded to examine the several rooms in detail.
Many of the doors were found locked and the
keys not to be had. With keys of his own the
officer gained admission to all. In an unfinish-
ed room in the attic Patrick was found snugly
ensconcsd. Upon being asked what he was
doing there he replied that he was looking for
the cat. Further search discovered George in
a room which was also locked. Upon the en-
trance of the officer the young man made a
movement as though to draw weapon, but as
Sargent advanced unhesitatingly upon him,
he changed his manner and asked, Gam to
be treated like MANI" Upon the officers
replying Certainly you shall. I try to do that
towards all" George surrendered himself and
handed over his revolver. He declined to
make any statement for the present, but said
when the time came he should tell his story.
Both men were brought to the city and placed
in jail. The case will be heard in the NUM-
eipal Court this forenoon.

that the citizens of Portland may join with us

that the citizens of Portland may join with us
to secure their fulfillment.
If one is hungry and asks to be fed, imme-
date relief will unhesitatingly be given by all
who are thus appealed to; but when money or
other aid is asked no possible harm can arise
from asking the applicant to wait while some
inquiries are made.
If our citizens when thus applied to will in
vestigate the worthiness of the appeal by
simply inquiry made to the Associated CHART
ties they will secure to themselves increased
satisfaction in their giving by knowing that it
supplies actual need, and relieves real suffer-
ing, instead of merely encouraging imposters
in deceit and crime.
1t is sound maxim that almsgiving, to &C
complish substantial good, should be preceded
by investigation. The results of such investi-
cation the Associated Charities is always ready
to procure and furnish to any citizen who will
ask for it.
When ambition and effort are made to take
the place of Incidence, when thrift supplants
poverty, when dependents become self-sup-
porting, when unnecessary begging is aban-
doned for respectable and rsmunerative SER
vice, then will crime diminish, youthful de-
pravity will be largely repressed and uprooted
by better influences and by education: depend
emit consumers will become reliant producers,
and moral and civil advantages will result
which will directly and indirectly blossom into
good fruit for the entiye community.
