PORTLAND, Sept. 10.
Thos. J. Libby, who shot and killed Miss
Snow at the hotel here and then shot himself,
is lying in Portland Jail this morning. He is
in better condition, and the surgeon says that
if inflammation or congestion do not appear he
will recover.
This afternoon the physician asked Libby {:
you did?" Libby replied: "What pistol?"
The doctor then changed the subject and
asked: Had you any animosity against that
woman?" mo, had not; is she hurt?,
responded Libby. He is still ignorant OF the
death of his victim and will remain so for the
present. The doctor thinks that Libby did
the shooting while crazed with rum.

ARRESTED FOR FRAUD.
Firms Who Failed in Order to Make
Money.
NEw YORK. Sent. 10

NEW YORK, Sept. TO-
Marx and Moritz Meyer who recently did
business as shirt manufacturers in this city
and who made an assignment for the benefit
of their creditors, were arrested yesterday on
application of Simeon Black. who begun
suit against Meyers for the recovery of
moneys loaned to the amount of Sl2, ,49I ,9s.
Prior to the assignment the Meyers had as
sured Black that bis money was safe and he
would receive it in full. Black now charges
that one of the defendants drew money for
his own use and in addition to making the
transactions not entered in the books made
false entries. After the assignment was
made Marx practically admitted the charges
of fraud but told the plaintiff that if he only
would keep quiet he would get his money as
the assets were being disposed of at private
sale and some arrangement would be made
by which the creditors would be paid Black
charges that when the assignment was made
up, Moritz Meyer wanted his share, giving as
a reason the plea that he was not going to
fail and lose his name without making some
thing. The Meyers gave bail in $4,000

mated for senator by acclamation.
The exercises at Harmony Grove were
attended by 5000 people On the platform
were mony distinguished republicans. The
meeting was presided over by f. G.. Banfeld
of Wolfboro, and speeches were made by O.
c. Moore of Nashua, Senator Blair and
others. Moore was the principal speaker,
and dwelt at length upon the civil service
reform. He charged Geo. NJ. Curtis with
being a traitor, he being the principal instru-
ment Of the republican party in getting the
civil service reform plank inserted and then
turned his back on the party. He denied
that the Chicago democratic convention was
free and untrammelled. For instance, the
New York delegates were not allowed to vote
for their choice. The republican party insti-
tuted the civil service reform with a grand
result, and it was working satisfactorily.
Should the democrats get in power they would
undo all the good done. Senator Blair and
DIR. Gallinger followed in brief speeches.

A THIEF CAPTURED.
Allen Whitton Arrested in Boston for

Due TO Marshal True.

HALLowELL, Sept. 10.
City Marshal Ira NJ. True of this city came
from Boston on the 7.55 tram this evening,
having in custody Allen Whitop, who is
charged with breaking into a safe at Canaan
last Saturday and decamping with the pro-
ceeds of the robbery, S640. Marshal True
got clue to Whitons movements and sus-
pected he had taken the steamer for Boston.
He telegraphed to the Boston police a de-
scription of Wilton, and to arrest him if
found among the passengers. Becoming
convinced he was on the right trail True left
for Boston on the Pullman train Tuesday
night. When the steamer arrived at Boston
yesterday fore noon Wilton was arrested,
and on being searched 1916 of the stolen
money was found on his person. The prompt
arrest and recovery of the large sum of
money speaks well of Marshal True's capa-
bilities as an efficient officer. Great credit
is also due to the Gardiner, Portland and
Boston officers for their aid given. Wilton
was very reticent on his way from Boston en-
route to the scene of his recent burglarious
exploit.

10000 Majority Given for the

LEWISTON, Sept. 10.


Returns from 429 towns and plantations
give the following vote
Robie, 77.155
Redman, 16,296
Scattering, 1886
Total vote, 137,O47
Robes majority 1928
Seventy-one small towns and plantations
only now remain, The vote in these towns
will not greatly affect the result, but it is
quite possible that the Augusta estimate of
$4,000 or upwards, as the full republican ma
jority of the State. may be justified by the
full returns. Robes plurality will rise to
upwards of 10000.
The balance of the State in 1882 voted as
follows:
Republican, 2.426
Fusion, 2,5O6
Scattering, IA
The opposition majority in these towns in
1882 was 81.
Unquestionably the republicans will have
a small majority in these remaining towns,
which will increase the majority in the State
to about II, 500.
The aggregate vote in Maine this year will
rise to l42,0 ,000 and the republican vote will
reach nearly $4,000, the largest ever given
in Maine.
The total vote on the amendment is likely
to reach from 80, 900 to 100, ,O00-the largest
ever cast on any amandmap+ +o 49, S.o.a
