Fraud.

PORTLAND, Oct 80.
In September, 1884, Aaron r. Gee of Free
port, mortgsged to John w. Oxnard of same
town, pair of horses and double harness
as security for the payment of note. In
January Gee died and John S. Ward was ap-
pointed administrator. Oxnard notified Ward
of the mortgage on the horses. When Ward
sold the personal property of Gee. he asked
permission of Oxnard to sell the horses and
harnesses clear of the mortgage, agreeing to
nav the amount of the mortgage as soon as
they were sold. Oxnard inquired whether
he owned real estate free from encumbrances'
and Ward said he did. On these representa-
tions Oxnard consented and Ward sold them
at auction. Afterwards he refused to pay
the amount of the mortgage, said the mort
gage was worth nothing. and nothing could
be collected 1t now appears that Wards
real estate is mortgaged, and was at the time
he represented it clear. Ward was arrestsd

pretences brought before the court at Port
land. Friday morning, and bound over in the
sum of $500. F. v. Chase appeared for Ok

A BOLD ATTEMPT


BosroN, Oct. 80.
A bold attempt was made this forenoon to
abduct four-year-old son of Mrs. C. Pope.
living on Falmouth street. Mrs. Pope visited
the market on fremont street, to purchase
fish for dinner, taking the child with her.
While she was in the store the boy remained
about the doorway, playing, and when the
mother had finished her errand the boy was
missing. She learned from people in the
vicinity that two shabbily dressed men had
been seen to entice the child away with q
stick of candy, and she started in pursuit.
When near the Roxbury railroad crossing,
she saw the men and made rush for them.
They saw her coming, and seizing the boy,
who struggled and yelled, they carried him
into house near At hand. Mrs. Pope rushed
after them, and was just about to enter, wi hen
her son came running out and few into her
arms. One man came after him ready to seize
him and carry him back. He had to set the
boy down in the hallway, when the little fel-
low made q dash for the door and got away.
Mrs. Pope Indignantly asked the man what
he meant by abducting her son. The rascal
pretended that the boy was Lost and he and
his companion had picked him up. "You
ought TO give us q reward for finding him, "
he said. "If you had your just reward" re.
turned Mrs. Pope, ''yOu would be in prison
for this" The fellow skunk back into the
hallway. Mrs. Pope was so overjoyed At the
recovery of her son that she did not think to
inform the police of the affair. Subsequently
Mr.. Pope made a report at the police head
quarters, but the kidnappers had escaped.
The affair has created considerable sensa-
ton as the parents are well to do and because
of the boldness of the deed. The street was
crowded at the time and the child was en-
ticed away almost under the eyes of its
mother.

NEW YORK CAMPAIGN.
An Enthusiastic Republican Meeting
in Brooklya-Seaator Evarts the Prin.
Pnncipal Speaker.
BRooKLYx, N. Y, Oct. 80.

BRooKLYN, N. Y, Oct. 80.
The republicans held an enthusiastic rati-
fcation meeting At the Academy Of Music to-
night. Mr.. s. V. White presided Senator
Evarts was the principal speaker and Was re-
ceived With continuous applause. The re-
publican party. he said, had not changed and
was the same party that commenced With
Lincoln and for the present laid down its rule
with the canvass of James G. Blaine. There
was nothing in his candidacy to change the
result of the election. but was the
result Of careless notion to see what
the democratic party would do if in power.
During the l2 months the democratic party
have been in power q chill had come over the
institutions fostered by the republican party,
and no advancement had been made. A
change might be q benefit to awaken the
people as to their mistake. At the last elec.
tion the republican leader was defeated by
HOO votes, but the republicans obeyed the
laws, and though the votes in this state were
counted fairly, thousands of votes in the
southern states were suppressed, which, if
they had been cast, would have prevented
Grover Cleveland from ever entering the
White House As Chief Executive. The re-
publican party was going to reverse the last
election. 1t had reversed it in Ohio, was
going to reverse it in New York, and also in
virginia, II the votes were allowed to be
counted. 1t seemed great pride to the DEM
ocratic party to get man they thought better
than the party itself, but the republican party
never had such man and never sat any man
up as God. 1t was true, President Cleve-
land was far ahead of his party on civil SER
vice reform, and he hoped he would continue
so, though If he did he would not have much
Of party behind him in two years. He con-
cluded as follows: "Let US all vote one way
for the whole ticket. on Tuesday next"

tinues Unabated.

BOsToN, Oct. 80.
The interest in the Tabers divorce trial
continues unabated, as is evidenced BY the
crowds in attendance today. Deacon VIM.
Cove of the BOwdoin Square church, detailed
the facts OF the visit Of the prudential com.
mittee to Mr.. Taber's house at the time the

count was virtually the same as given by
other witness. He testified to the expert.
ments made this morning and that the inte-
rior arrangements Of the pastors study at the
church could be'seen through the transom
with the aid of cane and mirror.
Mrs. Henrietta A. West, Mrs. Tabers sis
ter, testified that Taber's actions toward his
wife were very disagreeable.
Matte A. Davidson, who lived with the
Tabers from November 1882, until August,
1888, as domestic, testified: Tsber WAS con-
stantly throwing out installations against his
wife; he said Downs liked the woman and
that was why he came there witness had
heard Taber say that there was no profit in a
boarding house, but there was money in a
house where people could come, stay over
night, pay their bill in the morning and no
questions asked. She further testified that
Taber wanted her to go away or work on his
side of the case, and that he had offered her
money to do so. He said he would win the
case il it cost him $40, 900, and that his wife
might win it if she had employed a good

When Riel was told his case had been re-
ferred to the privy council he said it was ab-
surd. what" he said, ''hss the English
council to do with me? look only to the
Canadian government for liency." When
told of the councils decision he said, 81
know it already. The spirit has told me all.
What else could expect from John Bull?
But" he added. winking his eye significantly,
"I'm not dead yet" He continues to proph-
esy daily in his cell and write out daily vol
umes of alleged communications from the
Christian world. His last prophetic vision
is that the half breeds will be surprised to
see how soon things will turn in their favor.
They will progress fast, but they must moi
lead rowing life any longer. They mus,
get on to land and take up homesteads.
OTTAWA, Oct. 80.
The half-breed prisoners confined in the
Jail at Regina and the penitentiary at Stony
Mountain, Man, have forwarded a long peti

BOLD HIGHWAYMEN.
Passengers on a sleeping Car ChlOro.
formed-Omaha Street Cars Halted at
RevOlver's Muzzle,

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 80.
Highwaymen have, during the past month,
robbed the street car drivers of their cash
boxes at the point of the revolver, in this
city. Wednesday night, in the northern part
of the city, a solitary hiehwayman robbed
the driver making him hand over q cash box
containing SIS. The car was full of passen-
gers, but the robber backed into the darkness
covering the car with his weapon. Last even
ing a similar attempt was made in nearly the
same locality. but the driver, instead of
reaching for the cash box, pulled out q re.
volver and shot the robber dead. The body
has been identified as that of Charles Collins,
a notorious character, who 10 suspected of
having committed number of bold burg
laries during the last six months.
The Wagner sleeper on the Bee Line was
entered by robbers somewhere west of Indian
apalis, Ind. on Monday night, and 800 were
stolen from passengers. 1t was the general
impression among the victims that they had
been chloroformed. Many of them tell of
horrible dream. they had, or speak of the
unaccountable drowsiness under which they
we're laboring. One man, an invalid, died
from the effects of the drug.

action how like an angel in apprehension
hop IKE a god! the beauty of the poridi the
paragon OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
How beautiful are the above
lines uttered by the worlds great
est mind How infinite the scope
of mans power if his faculties are
well preserved. Nothing, short of
creation, is to him impossible.
Our soul is lost in admiration when
we contemplate the possibilities of
this greatest exhibition of Infinite
Power. Yet what is this "quint-
essence of dust when blasted by
disease-his noble functions p er-
verted or destroyed?
AS "all men are born free and
equal,' as far as moral rights are
concerned, so likewise we hold
they should be born physically, but
as long as children must suffer for
the sins of their parents this can
not be. That the human race has
deteriorated physically is a conced-
ed question. To restore it is an
impossibility, as long rs people
persist in immortality and indul-
gences which are in disregard of
natures laws. The most we can
do then is to ameliorate this con-
dition, and cure disease in indi-
viduals.
TO this end we offer to the pub
lie, remedies which have done more
good-accomplished better results
in overthrowing disease than any
others which have been discovered
up to the present time, viz:
DR.. FLOWERS LIVER AND
STOMACH SANATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an intallible
remedy for all affections of the
Liver and Stomach, and is besides
an invaluable general tonic. The
latter is a reliable cure for all
nervous diseases and conditions,
such rs Hysteria, Sleeplessness,
Nervous Prostration, Depression
caused by overwork, etc.
These remedies are extensively
prescribed by physicians, "a recon-
mendation which does not obtain
