MAINE DISPATCHES.
LIBBY MURDER TRIAL.
continuation of the Case at Portland
Monday.

PORTLAND, Feb. 2.
MONDAY morning, many ladies were pres
ent. Mrs. Libby was not present. She is
now al her home at Scarboro. Saturday, she
suffered from severe nervous convulsion.
but was better Monday. The first witness
Alonzo Jordan of Portland. He was in the
transport constitution with Libby during the
war. Libby once had a fit and was taken be-
low. On cross-examinaton, he said he did
not know whether it was fit or whether
Libby was sick to his stomach DIR. s. C.
Gordon of Portland, gave description of
dellrlum tremens, which he said was ner-
vous disease caused wholly by alcohol
DIR. Gordon then described the different
stages OF dellrium tremens and said after US
ing liquor some years and leaving of, man
who acted as Libby did on the afternoon of
the 4th of September, would have the svmp-
toms of delirum tremens. A man who has
used liquor for long series of years, is liable
to loose consciousness and to act automa.i-
cally.
On cross-examination, DR.. Gordon said
that man with delirium tremens has, as a
rule, no impulse to fire pistol, but rather
to protect himself from imaginary attacks
The habitual use of liquor produces tremu-
lousness. nervousness and other character
istics displayed by Libby, when no delirium
tremens exist Some of the best medical au-
thorities now state that the cessation of
drinking has no connection with the begin
ming of delirium tremens. None of the acts
of man like Libby on the afternoon and
night before the shooting would indicate hal
lucination. Witness thought the act of Libby
in cooking the pistol and pointing at the
clerk, before the shooting, would be a possi-
Bile evidence of hallucination. At one, the
court adjourned until 3 p. NJ.
In the afternoon DR. Gordon concluded his
testimony.
DIR. Henry M. Harlow, formerly superin-
tendent of the Maine Insane Hospital, said
that the long, continual use of alcoholic liq-
uors has tendency to produce insanity, de-
lirum tremens, mama melancholia and epi-
lepsy; delrium tremens is disease of
nerve in the centre of the brain, and Is char
acterized by tremor, sleeplessness und delir-
ium; have known cases when there has been
a delirious state of the mind for some time
previous to the outbreak of delirium. On
being asked if the act of Libby on Sept. 4th,
and the night and morning subsequent, was
consistent with the existence of delirium, re-
piled, that they did not of themselves indi-
cate delirium; that the acts were not consls-
tent with the existence of delirium.
Dr. John Buzzell was examined on the in
dication of the symptoms of delirium tremens.
He declined to express his opinion upon the
hypothical question based on the testimony
of what occurred in the room.

and supplemented their demands by drawing
clubs. knives and pistols. Capt. McCullough
was reinforced in little while by so police
men. This enraged the crowd still further
and they again attacked the police, who re
sponded with clubs, and the rioters were
hedly punished, MANY heads were cracked
With the exception of Officer Rott, who was
slightly cut in the face, and = few bruises
sustained by Capt Mccullough, none of the
poiieemen were injured. Justice
Schwsb was the only man arrested.
After the fight pistol, a dynamite bomb
and several short black clubs were found in
the hall.

new YORK. Feb. 2.
Two thousand persons gathered at a social
ist meeting tonight at Concordia hall. II
was rumored previous to the meeting that
trouble would be caused by Schwab and Her
most, who intended to capture and control
the proceedings. A circular denuncitive of
violence and the Irish dynamite outrages
had been widely circulated, by MIR Schw elch's
party, but it excited the derision of the
Schvab party. Most of his crowd in
turn issued flaming incendiarv appeal ap-
plauding the dynsmiters and threatening woe
to England. A pose of police attended the
meeting. Mr.. Schwelsch called the meeting
to order and his radical opponents objected
in such a way thara tumult ensued in which
chairs, clubs and revolvers figured. The po-
lice tried to force their way to the platform
Schivelch saw them and shouted; ats the
police; kill the d." The infuriated mob
turned upon the officers and Capt. Cullough
was struck on the head with a chair and
knocked down.
He regained his feet and at the point of
their revolvers kept the mob at bay. The
socialists wanted to resume deliberations

Poland asked that Cunningham be arraigned

to one of high treason. so that the penalty of

The Philadelphia Record, in abiding
to the refusal on the part OF few Dem

vote for Col. Morrison for United States
Senator, says " Everything which
tends to keep before the majority of the

OF Republican sympathizers mask in
the coats of the Democracy, to thwart
its parposes, and betray its principles,
is a positive gain" From the above

APoOr wheat crop,

Fortunately the great amount OF IN
sold wheat of last years crop in the
country will prevent both scarcity OF
that cereal aud initiation OF prices
Were 1t not for this, wheat would un-
doubtedly, under the prevailing foreign
war OK elements, run up TO enormous
prices. The present outlook Tor the
home crop is not encouraging. Weread
of the prospective failure of the crop
out northwest, west, south, north and
northeast Of us, but there is no place
where the crop presents poorer ap'
pearauce ut the present time than IN
the counties right around home.
The promise in New Castle County Is
for not more than half crop. The va
riable weather and sudden changes
from q moderate temperature to ex-
treme cold has been fatal to wheat
Heavy rains have been followed by
sudden freezes, and between the two
wheat has been worked out OF the
ground, and that left has very impaired
roots. In the fiat lands along the p,
W. & B. Railroad from Wilmington to
Baltimore, the prospect is not promising
for even half cop. From baltimore
up the Northern Central Railroad to

Gunpo WIDER, and Codorus, the writer OF
this noticed quite change for the bet
ter, the rolling lands atfording means
of escape for the grea. deluge of snow
and rain that fell during the winter.
Here as well as through the billy por
lions of York, Pa, the crop was much
more promising, there being many
tracts OF due looking wheat. The same
may be said of the crop in Dauphin Co.,
more rolling Than Lancaster County, in
which latter county wheat was never
known to have more unpromisine
aspect at this season of the year, 80 fal
back as the Oldest inhabi.ant can re
