OPENING THE CASE
OF United States VS.. Dennis Kelley
Court Adjourned.
PORTLAND. Jan. Z.

PORTLAND, Jan. Z.
In the U. S. circuit court, this morning,
the case of the United States, by indictment,
VS.. Dennis Kelley, for the murder of young
Smith, at Fit. Popham, was argued by e. S.
District Attorney Lunt, and H. d. Hadlock
replied for the defence. In this case the mo-
ton in arrest was filed Jan. 9th, because the
Indictment does not allege that the site of
Ft. Popham was not purchased by the United
States, by the consent of the legislature of
Maine, but merely that the site was held by
and was in possession of said United States,
for the erection of Fort, with the consent of
the legislature of Maine Also that the in
dictment charges two separate and distinct
offences IN the same count. Because the
Indictment states no offence in law over which
this court has jurisdiction; because the in
dictment contains no sufficient legal state
ment of an offence under the laws of the
United States; because the indictment does
not sufficiently charge an offence against the
respondent under the constitution and laws
of the United States. Judge Webb reserved
his decision. Court adjourned until the 18th g,

BATH, Jan. Z.
Arnold e. Stacy, who lives on the ont
skirts of this city, was shot dead toni,bt
during family quarrel. Stacy is the pro-
prietor Of the Crystal Mineral Spring, having
purchased it about three years ago, at which
time residence was erected at quite an ex-
pense He became in state of financial en-
oarassment about year ago, and the proper
erty was transferred to his wife. A few
weeks since the debt was cleared, and be
wished to become the possessor of the
property, but the wife refused to turn it over
in his name. At the supper table tonight
as Mrs. Strcy states, her husband insisted on
becoming the possessor of this property,
using threatening language. Fearing vio-
lence, Mrs. Stacy arose from the table and
from drawer in the pantry adjoining the
kitchen took 32 calibre revolver that was
kept by her for defence in case of any dan
ger during his absence, as the house is in an
out OF the way place on the edge of the
woods. and quite distance from any resi-
dence.
She states that he took hold of the barrel
when the pistol was discharged, the bullet
entering at the left side of his head, near the
ear, killing him instantly.
George Reed, ayoung man employed by
deceased, notified Sheriff Ballou and Chief
of Police Bailey of the affair and they pro-
ceeded to the house.
Mrs. Stacy was greatly affected when the
officers arrived, and made statement as
above. After lengthy search the revolver
was found few feet from the house.
The boy, Reed, says that he found the re-
volver near Stacy's body, and in the excite
ment, threw it out of doors.
A coroner's inquest will be held tomorrow
The residence is in charge of Officer Tib-
belts. No arrests have been made, how
ever. The deceased was about 33 years old,
with several children. His wife was few
years younger.

New YORK, Jan. Z.
The Mail and Express this afternoon prints
the following letter dated Yesterday at New
York:
My Dear Sir-Through the press and other

of mine, are engaged in raising a subscrip-

Cattle E0r Reef

Many farmers forget the fact that
when raising the calves for the
butcher, that the pasture depends
upon the stock. A half-bred Short
horn or Hereford steer will never
prove profitable in the hands Of farm
ers who depend upon the stock to
pick up the greater portion of their
food. In bringing such cattle to
their present degree of perfection,
certain conditions were complied
with, and these conditions are essen.
tial now, as well as formerly. He
who wishes to raise steers weighing
1000 pounds when two years old,
must have only first-class pastures,
and an overflowing granary. He
must know that every day lost can
never be regalned. Our best breed
ers aim to secure from one to two
pounds per day from birth. and
should a single day be lost the aver
age of the whole is lessened. TIE
average farmer should endeavor to
raise cattle in the same manner. To
grade up the stock is easily done.
and costs but little. The purchase of
the pure-bred males b really the
cheapest part of the process. The
art consists in knowing how to SO
manage as to keep the stock continu-
ally gaining in growth and weight
until they are sent to market, where
the prices returned are for the supe.

weight from high feeding.-Farm

The north west will soon be politi-
cally strong enough to compel con-
gress, if necessary to build granite
wall on either side of the Mississippi
from St. Paul to the Gulf. and we
betide the capitalist or politician who
seeks to hinder the proper improve
ment of the father of waters. The
opposition to the improvement of the
water ways comes principally from
the railroad interests, but it is safe
to predict that these corporations see
the hand writing on the wall and the
increasing intelligence of our largely
augmented population will soon be
called upon to translate this writing.
The result will be entirely satisfac-
tory to the producers. Opposition to
the peoples interest dates back to
antiquity, it had it's birth in the dark
ages. Opposition to freedom of trade
is the result of superstitions. It is
first cousin to opposition to freedom
of speech and press. The world rang
for hundreds Of years with declama-
tion against the honors of free
speech, and then cater against the
honors of free press. But here the
people rule as rule they must if they
would preserve their very existence.
