A FOUL MURDER
caused by Use of Liquor. at Northeast
CarTy-Another Version of the
Occurrence.
DOVER, Nov. "a.

Dover, Nov. "a.
The details of what will perhaps prove 20
be the most awful tragedy in the history of
rlscataquis county, are told by one of the
participants, Charles Nicholas, who was ar
rested at Dover, Saturday, while on his way
home at Oldtown, and that is all that is known
of the affair at this time.
Thomas Nicholas and his son Charles. are
two Penobscot Indians who lived at Kineo du-
ring the summer seasons as guides. Last
Monday they started on hunting and trap
ping expedition to the head OF the lake and
Tuesday, met John Bridge also guide and
teamster at the Whine gamock House. North
east Garry. They all drank some and then
went to the West Branch House, about two
miles distant, where they procured more liq-
uor. During the evening while playing cards.
Bridge struck young Nicholas and knocked
him down and said, Don't rise or | will kill
ycu," and then struck him again with a pair
of boots, rendering him senseless. When he
recovered consciousness, he saw the dead body
of Bridge in the kitchen, where it had been
dragged from the office, being laid out by
Bridges brother, an employee at the hotel
Nicholas inquiredfor his father and the brother
oS the dead man told him "not to worry about
his father as he was cared for" All OF his faith
ers baggage was as IL had been lett in the Of
flee, except the rifle, which was gone. Nicholas
started on foot Thursday morning and walked
to kineo, a distance of 80 miles arriving there
Friday, where he related the above story. He
took his wife who was there. and left for Old
town, but was detained on arrival at this place
and will remain until some hearing can be
held His head is bandaged and he shows the
marks of having been badly punished. He
saw nothing of his father afterward and the
suppositon at present is that Nicholas jr, shot
/ Bridge and was then himself shot and disposed
of by Bridges friends. There were two men,
Jos. Labree and John Douelly in the office at
the time and the proprietor, Mr.. Luce, was in
and out during the evening. Officers will leave
at once to procure these men and obtain all
! possible evidence Should the weather come
! oil cool. the ice may intefere with the steam
ers on the lake and possibly some days will
elapse before any more particulars can be
known.

The Result of the Election for state Sem
atOr not Known.

CHICAGO, Nov. "a.
A motion for an attachment TO compel the
county clerk, Ryan, to produce the tally
sheets, poll book and ballots of the second
precinct, 18th ward of this city, was argued
in the Federal court, this morning An allie
CATION is made that the returns from the pre-
clnct have been tampered with in connection
with Leeman and Brand, senatorial contest.
the final determination of which will settle
the question of a republican or democratic
majority on joint ballot in the State l. gisla
ture. The attorneys for Brand denied the
jurisdiction of the Federal court, by Judge
Blodgett, who declared that the court clearly
had jurisdiction. and directed the county
clerk to produce the ballots, poll book and
tally sheets before the Grand Jury within one
hour. The Grand Jury had, in the meantime,
adjourned to p. NJ.
Before the Grand Jury convened, the at
torrey appeared before Judge nlodsctt, say
ing that he represented the candidate for the
House of Representatives of the State legis-
lature, whose district included the disputed
precinct, that according to the returns made,
his client was defeated, but he had hopes that
a recount of the ballots in the regular election
contest, would show that his client was elect
ed, and finally that if the Federal Grand Jury
were allowed to handle the ballots, it would
prejudice his clients contest. On this state
ment Judge Blodgett decided to hear further
argument tomorrow and ordered that in the
meantime. the Grand Jury should not have
access to the ballots. County clerk. Ryan,
therefore appeared before that body at 7. NJ.
with only the poll book and tally sheets,
which were inspected by an expert from the
sub-treasury. The result of the inspection
was not made public.

VERDICT UNSATISFACTORY.
The Adsms-CoIeridge Case Still Undecided
Partially shown.

LONDON, Nov "a.
Judge Manistry OF the Court of the Queen ;
Bench has ordered stay of execution in the
Adams Coleridge case The judge explained
his action Saturday in overruling the verdict
of the jury, was taken in the interest OF both
parties. AS the case stands now, if the court
of appeals overrules his decision a second
trial will not be necessary.
M. Adams (through counsel) will move
before full bench that the court maintain
the verdict of the jury. Justice Manisty's
action on Saturday has created great out
burst of popular wrath. The current strain
of newspapers comment is, the Judge paid
too much difference to the personal feelings
of Lord Colerld1e. 1t is asserted that Justice
Manisty's conduct was an insult to the system

nearly 1000 more votes this year than in 1882.
