THE MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE.
The Indictment Fails and the Respondents
Discharged.

Our readers will remember the so-called
Midnight Marriage which occurred at Apple
ton last March, and the case came on for trial
in the United States Court yesterday morning.
There was large attendance of spectators.
The Indictment condensed tells the story of
the case as follows:
The Indictment alleges that Samuel B. Rob-
bins OF Appleton, on March a. 1884, was un-
married and an applicant for pension from
the United States aud that while the case was
pending before the Pension Commissioner,
Robbins died leaving no widow. That Leuora
IA. Trundy OF Belfast, with the assistance of
Chester S. Pease, Hannah M. Pease, Noah B.
Robbins, and Dsvina Robbins of Appleton,
conspired to obtain from the government a
large sum of money due Robbins by represen-
ting herself as Robbins lawful widow and con-
seqaenily entitled to succeed to his claim tor
pension. That in pursuance of the oonspira-
CT Lenora M. Trundy, on the 9th of March at
tended the funeral ceremony of Samuel B,
Robbins and Chester Pease at that time de.
claTed to Rufus Stone that she was married to
Robbins In his life time, and that Noah B.
Robbins on the 9th OF April, asserted to John
K. Haney that Samuel b. Robbins and I,eno
"a e Trundy were married in Robbins life
time.
IL. d. Hadlock of this city and Col. VIM. Ii
Fogler of Belfast were engaged to defend the
indicted parties. Mr.. Hadlock filed a genera
demurrer, that the facts as set forth in the in
dictment were not sufficient to constitute ar
offence uuder section 8 440 of the United Statel
revised Statutes which reads as follows:
If Two or more persons eonspire either to commit
any oHense against the United States in any man
ner or for any purpose, and one of such par
ties do any acts TO effect the object of the conspra
cy shall be liable to penalty of not less than one
thousand dollars and not more than s 10 600 and *
Imprisonment not more than two years.
The demurrer was filed with the court Tues.
dag and yesterday morning Judge Webb an
nouncsd that the Court had decided to sus
tain the demurrer and ordered the discharge Of
the respondents.

A Correction.

To the Editor Of the Press:
II has been reported in the PRESS and other
papers that "While attempting to enter Homo
lulu harbor without pilot the ship Ell Dorado
went on a reef, which is a misrepresentation
of the case. The Hawaiian Gazette of Septem-
Der 10th, gives full and clear account of the
affair, and places the blame wholly on Honolulu
pilots. The captains account in that report
states that at LOS p. M, on the 9Th of Septem-
Der, the pilot flag was hoisted when off Dia.
mond Head and an answering signal was
given from the lookout station. About $50 the
ship rounded Diamond Head, but saw DO sign
of tug or pilot. As the wind was light the
ship was kept along towards the port in the
hope that a pilot would come out, or that a
good place for anchorage might be obtained.
The ship was about to come TO anchor when
she struck. This statement is corroborated by
good authority. 1t is also stated that the pilot
signal was noticed and answered ON shore al
40 and steam was got up ON the tug. At Ole
the pilot sent word to the captain Of the tug
that he would not go out until morning to the
ship. Steam was then allowed to go down and
all hands left for home

disappointed whceImen.

The long promised parade of the Portland
Wheel Club, which was to have taken place
last evening, had to be again postponed on &C.
count Of rain. Long before the time for the
wheelmen to start q large crowd gathered in
the vicinity of the captains residence on
Vaughan street, but they were doomed to be
disappointed. Old Prob seems to be set against
bicycling, but the boys are determined to have
their parade, and so have again postponed it
until next Wednesday evening, when we
hope they will have fine evening.

and stop the ball. Doherty batted in the only run
they got, in the last inning. The score:
