One Of the most troublesome cases
ever tried in tie Municipal Court was
heard by Judge Cummins last evening.
The case was plain enough itself, but II
required Multiplicity OF languages to
obtain the testimony. On Sunday
night . German named Ferdinand
Banico, stabbed a Pole, named Antonio
Argauski, intiicting a serious but not
fatal wonnd, and over an hour was
spent by Judge Cummins laat evening
in trying to get at the facts of the
matter.
The first witness called was Louisa
Welk, who gave her testimony In
German, and it was interpreted 10 the
Court by Mr.. Miller. She testified that
the prisoner and another young man
had been out walking with Der. and
when they returned To the house occu-
pied by the Poles. the fight took place,
but she did not know who started 1t, or
which one of the men had the knife.
The next witness WAS Pole with an
unproDounceable name, ending with a
ski, who gave his testimony in his
mother tongue. Louisa Welk, who
understands the language Of the land
of Pulaski, translated 1t into German,
and Mr.. Miller in turn manufacture ed
1t into English for the Court. The pa
thence Of the Judge was almost exhaust
ed when the case closed, and he com
mitted Banico in default OF 81 900 tai
TO answer at Court for assault with in

however, were discreet enough to keep

rived, and then they were bold enough
TO publish their dolngs To the world,
without fear of persecution from Demo-
cratic place and without ask
ing any favors of them.
The proper time for the organization
of the club arrived last night, when
Charles Caunon's hotel, on the South
side, suddenly filed NJ" with enthusiasts
tic Irish-Americans. A meeting WAS
organized and a resolution 10 form Q
club to be called The Independent
Blaine and Logan Democratic club Of
the Second Ward" was unanimously
carried, and the following officers were
elected
President, Charles Cannon Vice
President, Bernard Clark Secretary,
William Kenny Cor. Secretary,
Michael Cannon Treasurer, James
Brown Captain, John August lat
Lieutenant, Simon F. Moran End Lieu
tenant, George Lucas.
The mem bership already consists OF
about 60 persons who have never voted
a Republican ticket. A committee
was appointed TO secure room for the
meeting Of the club, after which an ad
iournment followed, with three hearty
cheers for B laine and Logan.
Resolutions will be passed at some
future meeting, setting forth the
grounds of the opposition OF the men,
bers OF the club to the Democratic Ma
tional ticket. The two principal OBJ.
jections to the ticket are that Clev Gland
is the friend of monopolies and an enc
my to the laboring elias. of the people, as
shown by his vetoes Of every bill passed
| by the New York Legislature that
would in any way benfit workingmen.
They are also opposed to the platform
of the Democratic party because IL
evades the tariff issue.
They want something distinct and ex
plicit on this question, and this they
ind In the Republican platform. They
see TOO that the strongest support Of
| Cleveland IL the English papers, and
they will not, ifthey know it, support
the man that England wants to b'
President. They would rather take
their chances and elect Blaine, man
whom the English press is opp oset
to.

that the eloquent Harry Sharpley, Esq.
the logical j. Frank Ball, Esq, and tn
learned city solicitor, II. @. Turner

tered these recalcitrant sons of tn

this afternoon for the purpose of at
tea,iing a meeting at Corinth, but he
has -uff ireu so much from severe cold
contracted last Sunday when the tenn
perature changed so suddenly that he
was hot abe 10 go. He WAS In his bed
all day to-day aud saw no visitors. Early
in the day he felt we'll enough 10
attend 10 a uuulbsr of letters, and would
have gotten up i his physician hal not
I'D him 10 remain III bed.
1t ID not probable that Mr.. Blaine
win 20 upon the trip 10 Aroostook
County, as he would have to leave here
tomorrow night in order to reach Ban
gor IN time to take the special train
Wednesday morning. The weather has
changed 80 that it is quite cold. To go
North at the present time might aggra-
vate the severe cold Mr.. Blaine now has,
30 that, while he is very anxious TO Wis
IL Northeast Maine, he will probably be
obliged TO give the matt.r up. The fact
that Mr.. Blaine has been confined
TO his bed all day and has been able TO
see no visitors has created little stir
among the visitors here. who carefully
watch Mr.. Blaines movements. The
tendency has been to exaggerate the
story of his illness. William Walter
Phelps, who has been with Mr.. Blaine,
to-day said :
1.-THE whole trouble is a cold. We
are very sorry. We hoped that rs would
20 through the campaign without a
moment OF physical discomfort, but he
has this cold, caught when the weather
changed, and so we think it best for him
to remain quiet.
Glow is Mr.. Blaine this evening. ="
" He went to bed early, leaving word
that he should not be disturbed. He
will probably be all right in the morn
ing"
Will he go upI to the Aroostook
County"
"Ican't say positively. am in
clined TO think not. He may feel all
right in the morning, but we all think
he ought not to 60. The chances are
that be will remain here for the rest Of
the week"
Private advices from Portland indi.
cate that Congressman Reed is having
hard time in working for his re.elec.
ton. Reed himself is quite disturbed
and is working as he never worked be-
fore. He has called for help from the
National Committee and, while every
thing is being done that can be done

HOW TO PRESERVE.

Many people find when
they open jars of fruit in the
winter that, owing to defec
tive sealing at the time OF
canning, the fruit which they
expected 20 find as fresh and
sweet as when first taken
from the trees, has become
mouldy and sour.
This could have been pre-
vented, had they used good,
sound corks, and a fine grade
,of sealing wax, which would
not dry full OF air bubbles.
