FROM WASHINGTON.
THE KELLOGG CASE.
Barred bv the Statue of LimitatiOn-The
Jury Return a Verdict of Not
Guilty.
WASHINGTON, Nav l


The jury today in the case of ex-senator
Kellogg, who was charged with bribery, the
court decided that the offense was barred by
the statue of limitations The case was sub
mitted to the jury and they returned ver-
dict of not guilty.
After the jury had rendered the verdict,
Kellogg and counsel left the court room. As
they filed through the doorway the district
attorney said he desired to enter nolle pros
as to Price. In the indictment wherein he is
charged with conspiracy with Thomas j.
Brady this course was taken in fulfilment of
a promise that Price would not be prose-
cuted if he told the truth.
Judge Wylie-I have no doubt he told the
truth and that YOU are doing right.
In conversation with a reporter. after ad-
iournment. the district attorney declined to
express an opinion on the question as to
whether the nole pros entered in the Price
case would operate to protect Brady from
prosecution, but such seems to be the general
impression among the lawyers.

he said to the gentlemen from New York and
| Illinois Hewitt and Morrison) that the
pending bill which they forced on the House
was opposed to the constitution. 1t was said
that it Eas q step in the right direction. 1t
was a crab step. He opposed the pending
bill because it was not . part of wisdom-it
was not part of true craftsmanship to try
the passage of the measure which he knew
could not pass. As q patriot he would not
have this question before Congress now. As
political measure, the Morrison bill was
one in his opinion unworthy of the distin-
guished committee on ways and means which
brought it before the House. Ii record
was to be made let the democratic party make
the record clear and decent one and cut off
the tail of the miserable republican bantling
and call it q democratic measure. There
was not car driver in the District Of Colum-
bia who was so stupid that he could not have
framed just such q bill as this. All ne would
have TO do would be to take car hook and
chop of the title of the old bill. He had
done his best to defeat its consideration-he
would do all he could to defeat it before il
was presented to the House. He regretted
that the gentleman from Kentucky (Turner)
in his speech had spoken in = cOntemptuous
manner of the Yankees. He was a Yankee
New England Yankee. He loved his native
State and his country, and would not hear
any body use term contemptuously without
administering q just rebuke. The men of
New England had turned the tide of the rev.
olutionary war. He did not forget that it
was the husbandmen Of New England who
won the battle of Bennington. He did not
forget that when the commander of the army
of Saratoga was in his tent stupid or drunk,
a common general who had no command,
led the battle three times and won the vic
tory.
What was his name asked Mr.. Hammond
of Georgia.
His name. regret, replied Mr. Eaton, was
Arnold, but he did his duty that day. speak
of him as a Yankee-he is the only Yankee
traitor l know of.
Mr.. Eaton was listened to with great atten-
ton, and his speech was especially enjoyed
by the republicans, who frequently inter
rupted with applause and laughter.
The House then took a recess until eight
o'clock.
After speech by Mr.. Pelle of Indi ana in
opposition to the tariff bill, the House at 9
o'clock adjourned.

Landslide Completely Dams the
Cocheco River.
Narrow Escape ct Boston & Maine
Train.
The Loss Estimated at Twenty
Thousand Dollars.

Dover, N. H., May l.
Early last fall the Boston & Maine railroad
determined to build q new double track
bridge over the Cocheco river in room of the
single track bridge built forty years ago.
They first built q temporary bridge close by
and then demolished the old one. 1t took
several months of pile driving for the foun-
dation, in consequence of a poor bottom.
There were several land slides and often
times many employees narrowly escaped
with their lives.
bridge. 1t had hardly cleared the bridge
when another immense land slide occurred
causing large chasm under the railroad,
washing the foundations into the river. All
but one of the employees had gone to dinner,
and the remaining one, an engineer. was
standing by the hoisting engine. He was
carried with the engine completely across the
river and had narrow escape from being
killed
1t was a terrible looking sight. Trees,
heavy stones and thousand square yards OF
clay were washed into the river with lumber,
etc, making complete dam. The bridge
at this moment is entirely useless. A part
of the tracks is washed into the river. The
damage must be considerable. The news
was telegraphed to Supt. Furber. He will
send special tram and algang of men down
to repair the road. Thousands of people
are now on the river bank viewing the scene
of destruction.
LATER-Four thousand people are viewing
the destruction of the bridge. A prominent
engineer places the loss at $4,000. The
bridge cannot be repaired for some days, and
until then. passengers will be transferred at
the Washington street bridge, by carriages.
thence to the depot and vice versa.
The river above the caving is raised three
feet and has washed out part of the OBJ
structions. There is no further danger in
regard to the river rising. Fears are enter
tanned for the round house, Abbott's ice
houses and other buildings on the bank of the
river. This accident will greatly interfere
with the Boston & Maine railroad traffic.
Dover has not had such an excitement for
years. The name of the hosting engineer is
Henry Adams. He tells thrilling story of
his adventure under water for nearly two
minutes.

feet distant, occupied by Cook & Clark. gro
ceries, and N. Cannon, harness maker, was
soon in flames The Presque Isle Hotel,

Opening Changed to Sept. 23d.

LEWISTON. May l.
The trustees of the Maine State Fair were
represented by President Prince, Secretary
Dennison and Trustees Emerson and Libby,
at meeting held Thursday at Lewiston
The matter of a change in the time of op-
ening and duration of holding of the fair was
considered. An expression of opinion by the
exhibitors throughout the State has led the
trustees to a belief that many of the smaller
exhibitors are not in favor of a fair lasting
seven days. Most of the larger exhibitors,
however. look upon the proposition Win
favor. 1t was decided to make the time OF
opening of the fair, Tuesday, Sept. 23d, the
fair to continue four days, viz: Tuesday

A Remarkable Cure.

DIR. Fishblatt comes to River Falls,
Tuesday, Dec. 23d, at the fremont
House, with the following testimonial
clipped from the Mcmillan Leader of
June Is, 1884: DR.. Fishblatt, of
GAINESVILLE, was called into consulta-
ton in the case of l.. b. Johnson,
postmater at Mcmillan, whom he
found in critical condition, having
been given up as hopeless by his fam
lily physician, DR.. Hamilton. DR..
Fishblatt took the case under his care
and all who have known Mr.. johnson
for the past five years can see won
derful change in him since DIR. Fish
blatt treated him, and the doctor
should be entitled to some credit in
the matter. Such testimonial must
be gratifying to DR.. Flshblatt. But
this is only one of the many cures he is
performing. His reputation as skill
full physician is beyond "a doubt. and
we are pleased to make note of his
continued success in his chosen pro-
fession.
