THURsDAY-State VS.. Charles L. Brown and
Archie r.. Brown Indictment for highway rob
berry. The victim claimed that on the 18th day of
May, 1851 was on his way home from friend s
when he was suddenly assaulted, bound, blind
folded robbed and tied to the railroad track at a
spot about one half mile from the WaldOborO sta
stated that he rolled off to one side OF the railroad
track, with his head down the embankmont His
left leg was made fast to the track. In this in
cined position he managed to open his knife,
which slid from his hip pocket as he rolled from
the track He had considerable difficulty in sew
ering the cord which bound his hands, but so soon
as accomplished he was free to cut the cord which
tracked the assaultng party to their home
The defence was alibf. Defence denied having
been out that night They proved that at the
stated time of assault they were at home and in
bed that the eldest son was i'll that night, and at
the very time the said assault was taking place
his mother, on hearing her son coughing, went up
stairs to attend to his wants, and one of the
Younger sons saw his mother going down stairs.
The testimony was all in by 10 O'Clock: The ar
guments lasted an hour and half, and the charge
to the jury half an hour. The jury were out but
an hour when they returned verdict of not gull
ty, or an acqulttal.
This seemed to be the opinion of nearly all pres
ent, for the defendants were congratulated by a
them during the trial 1t was right to be remenl-
bered, the mother and father, who before the YER
dict had been uttered, wore an expression of in
tense anxiety, but the instant the welcome words,
mot guilty. were uttered the transformation OF
their features to unutterable happiness was an
impressive picture.

Catarrh

Is complaint which affects nearly everybody,
more or less. 1t originates in impure blood, and
is aggravated by taking cold. Disagreeable flow
from the nose, tickling in the throat, offensive
breath, pain over and between the eyes, ringing
and bursting noises in the ears, are the more COM
mon symptoms. Catarrh is cured by Hoods Sar-
saparilla, which strikes directly at the cause by
removing all impurities from the blood.

WARMERS TRIAL.
Ferdinand Wards AccompIice Be-
fore the Court.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The hearing in the
case of VIM. S. Warner, charged with con-
spring with Ferdinand Ward to defraud the
depositors of the Marine Bank, was resumed
before u. S. Commits ioner Shields today.
Samuel B. Connell book-keeper in the First
National Bank, testified that three checks ag-
gregating $215,000 came through the clearing
house, the checks bearing Wards signature.
Receiver johnson, of the Marine Bank, was
then recalled and identified seven checks
drawn by Ward ON the Marine Bank, and
objection of Col Bliss, counsel for Warner.
Paying Teller Carr of the Marine Bank, iden-
titled the deposit tickets of Wards check for
$4,000, dated May 3, and another check for
$4,000, dated May 5.
General Foster called William II. Wander
bilt, but there was no response. Commits
sioner Shields offered to issue an attachment
for Vanderbilt, but process was declined.
u. S. Grant then told the story of the re-
ceipt by his father, Gen. Grant. of $150,000
from Mr.. Vanderbilt, Sunday, May 4, 1884
On that day Ward called on witness and said
the firm needed money, and General Grant
then obtained a loan from Vanderbilt
Ward said at that time that the firm had
$3.50, 900 with the Marine bank and intimated
the firm was solvent. Witness knew War
ner, having met him first at Mr.. Works. He
could not tell if he (witness) introduced War
Warner had referred to possible trouble be-
cause the Marine bank was below as to a re-
serve, but witness had assured him it could
not make any difference to the firm of Grant
& Ward if it was. The Vanderbilt check
was to have been deposited for the firm,
and not for Wards individual account Ad-
journed to Monday.

Photograph of Father Case.
A "a

A few weeks ago we referred to the fact
that there had come into our possession
faded photograph of Rev. Isaac Case, who
century ago came omMassachusetts to the
province of Maine, and entered upon evan
gelistic work east of Portland. He lived to
be ninety-three years of age, and having ac-
complished a noble work entered into rest.
The photograph, evidently copy OF da-
guerreotype, was so faded as only dimly to
present the features, and our notice raised
an inquiry as to the original picture. We
could not but think that it must still be in ex-
istence. But no answer came to our inquiry.
Subsequent correspondence, however, which
extended across the continent, led to sugges-
tions that have rendered our search success
full and the original daguerreotype Is now In
our possession for the use of the artist who
is to paint portrait of Father Case, in ac-
cordance with a vote at our recent conven-
ton The face of Father Case is noble
one, reminding us of that of DR.. Daniel
Sharp, so long pastor of the Charles street
church, Boston By placing this portrait in
Memorial Hall, Colby University, the Bap-
fists of Maine will honor themselves as well
as the consecrated preacher who laid the
foundations of so many of our churches.

TEN YEARS IN PRISON.
Ferdinand Ward Receives the Ex-
trerne Penalty of the Law.
A Scathing Denunciation of His FL
nanciaI Methods.

New YORK, Oct. 31.-When Ferdinand
Ward appeared in court this morning to re-
ceive his sentence. he was self possessed,
contented, smiling. There was not an inch
of standing room in court. Ward pulled Off
his overcoat leisurely, smiled cheerfully,
shook hands with his lawyers and nodded to
acquaintances who were in court very pleas
antly. The jury that convicted Ward was
not present in body, but most of the jury
men were scattered about the room. Judge
Barrett was late in making his appearance
and then had to listen to an argument on an
unimportant case. 1t was noon when Ward
was told to stand up and receive his SEN
tence. He arose firmly, his eyes wandered
about the room and then he dropped them
upon the floor. Every eye was on him but
he didn't show trace of nervousness His
behavior was really brazen. Judge Barrett
then delivered the sentence. 1t was scath-
ing denunciati0n of the prisoners ways and
a severe lecture on his misdeeds He closed
by sentencing Ward to 10 years in prison at
hard labor. Ward sat down, apparently re-
lived. The formalities of the law were com
piled with, and then he was taken back to
the tombs The court room was quickly
cleared, although hundreds OF people wanted
to catch glimpse of the accused as he left
court
The crowd that pressed around Ward in
the streets was so great that it was necessa-
ry to take him to the sheriff's office, for
time His counsel's efforts to get a
stay were unsuccessful. Ward broke down
a little when he got in the sheriff's Office he
was taken to Sing Sing tonight, and will
go to work on Monday morning. The
syoung Napoleon" has found his st. Helena.
His counsel may ask for an appeal. His
sentence is the extreme penalty OF the law
Nine of the members of Wards family were
in court when sentence was passed.

MEXICO.
Horrible Atrocities Committed by
Bandits.
Six Men Killed and Fifteen Wounded
in a Political Quarrel.

CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. efficiently a
most horrible outrage was committed in
Tabasco, the details of which have horri
fed the State. Juan Vincente Palavicini
was travelling with his wife and child to his
hacienda. On the way bandit, Manuel
Padron, came out on horseback and tried to
carry off the wife of Palavicini. A fight
took place between the two men and Padron
was killed After the former had left his
family at the hacienda he returned toward
the town of Teapa to advise the authorities
of what he had done. On his return he was
captured by brother of the dead bandit
assisted by three desperadoeS. They took
Palavicini off his horse, and stripping off his
stockings, flayed the soles of his feet, and
then made him walk with the raw flesh
nearly mile. They then cut off his ears
and wrists, in which condition he was
obliged to walk some more. They then cut
off his nose and lashed him to make him run.
Finally they dragged him at the head of
their saddles, and then tore him in two. The
perpetrators of the outrage escaped, but a
feeling has sprung up that if they are caught
they will suffer in the same manner.
