ARRESTED ON LEAVING PRISON.
After Serving a Three Years Sem
tence a Harmony Man Is Arrested
Charged with Horse Stealing.

BATH, Nov. 16.-Deputy Sheriff Brown, of
Somerset county, passed through this city
yesterday, with a man named Cookson, who
had just finished a sentence of three years in
the State prison at Thomaston. Cookson
was sent to prison for the crime of store
breaking, and number Of other bad acts
were charged to him, among them the steal
ing of horse, the property of minister in
Harmony, the native place Of Cookson For
this alleged crime Cookson was arrested at
the prison as soon as he changed his prison
dress for that of citizen. Sheriff Brown
states that Cookson was committed to the
prison when Is years old. His parents are
among the best citizens of Harmony. The
matter was finally settled by the payment Of
$500 by Cookson's father; the boy promised
to mend his ways, but failed to do so; only
short time after the first offence he broke in
to another store and was sent to prison.
When taken into custody at the prison by
the depu'y sheriff, Cookson manifested no
surprise. He seemed to be expecting arrest
as soon as free. Warden Bean told Sheriff
Brown that Cookson was one of the best
conyicts in the prison, very quiet and had
caused no trouble to the officers. When he
went into the prison he had no trade, but
while there he has learned harness making,
and is considered by Warden Bean first
class workman. An effort will be made to
have the case of horse stealing mol pressed
and give the young man chance to become
good citizen. Deputy Sheriff Brown and
his prisoner left Bath on the a3O p. m. train
yesterday for Harmony.

An Experiment in Thought Reading.

Bos1oN, Nov. 16.-W. Irving Bishop the
well-known thought reader, announces that
Saturday afternoon next he will give an
interesting public test of his powers, with
a view Of demonstrating that the power of
thought reading may be developed into
powerful factor for the detection of crime.
Bishop successfully conducted a similar
experiment during the last Christmas holi-
day in st. Petersburg, before the IMPERIAL
family. His proposal is thus described by
Mr.. Bishop A committee of four welt
known gentlemen, against whom no sns-
picion of c0nfederacy can for a moment he
entertained, shall be selected by my guests
to superintend my experiments. One of
their number shall be chosen whose dntv II
shall be to conceal within radius of n mile
from the Hotel Vendome an object which
shall represent either stolen goods or a can
of dynamite. The persons concealing the
object may be assumed to be a confederate
in crime, and during his absence / will
remain in the custody of the rest of the com
mittee. After the object shall have been
concealed l will submit to be blindfolded
and to have my head enyeloped in a sack
tnI0ugn whlcn seeing VIII be impossible,
inal by about fifteen feet of thruadlike wire
/ will leave the Hotel Vendome nnnctn,llv
at $50 o'clock in carriage, the horses az
which l will myself drive in my blindfolded
condition, and in less than one hour hope
to be able to return with the hidden object
in my possession, and so demonstrates fire
power of true thought reading. The only
conditions to be made are: First. that the
article shall be concealed In an accessihle
place; and secondly, that the person exper-
imenCed with shall keep the place Of the
cOncealment as well defined in his mind ne
the actual criminal might be expected to do
Much has been written on this snhiect
fairly and unfairly, scientifically and in To-.
noranee, and do now wish to put on record
IN my own country a successful experiment
which l have been engaged for al many
years, and which was the first to under.
take and introduce, are likely to become Of
practical value to the community. =

The Great Meeting that is to be Held
This Week.
Especial to the PREss.l

BATH, Nov. l6
The Houghton Brothers have sold their
ship Australia now in San Francisco, to the
Simpson Brothers for S17500 net. She is
seventeen years old and of something more
than twelve hundred tons. The Simpsons
being in the coal and lumber business will
run her on the Pacific coast. Capt Simpson
will continue her commander. The ship in
her day has Ebeen profitable vessel, but is
now too old for wheat freights and her late
owners consider her sale good one. The
Simpsons were formerly Bath men.
AT the last regular meeting of the Bath
Board of Trade steps were taken to invite
the Congressional delegation of this State to
meet the members Of the Board to confer
VI pom matters pertaining to the wants and
needs Of the shipping interests of this Sec
tion, and on measures that should come be-
fore Congress at its approaching session
Consequently all the Senators and Repre-
sentatives are to be here on Saturday of this
week. In the evening they will be enter
tanned by the Board of Trade with banquet
at the Sagadahoc House, at which three hun
dred plates will be laid.
This movement has been suggested in part
from the fact that Congressman Dingley
previous to the last session of Congress
held a conference with the leading ship
builders and owners here and obtained their
views in regard to the shipping interests,
looking to favorable legislation, which
greatly aided him in the very efficient work
he ACCOMPLISHED

THE MAINE MILITIA.
Capt. Edward Fields Report to the
Adlutant General.

The following report Of Can't. Edward
Field, U. ,. 4th Artillery, the United States
army oiicer detailed to make inspection Of
tne Maine militia, Is annexed to the report
OF the Adjutant General Of the army:
was very much struck with the size and
physical condition Of the men Tall Straight.
stalwart and broad shOuldered. they FAR sur
pass IN physical quality anything had seen
IN the way OF militia. The line was fairly
formed, the manual was rather slow and the
silns ~ irregular, due to the very large number
VI recruits, fully one third Of the entire
command being men who were In camp for
tnt. snn Ils. tlhle. Ine dress parades we're very
iair IN the Second Regiment. and very good,
indeed, IN the First; In the Second the pa
aaae ,.. rest Of the third and sixth companies
was notieeabiy good. The men were admir-
aDly steady and attentive during the beat
on. Ihe manual was only tOlerable; irregu-
lar' from the large percentage OF recruits,
ana showing want Of snap. The company
part Of the officers and evident desire to
learn on the part OF the men. Inc weakest
points were the lOadings and hrings- Com
pany +. Montgomery Guards, Of Portland,
Capt. John A. Gallagher, First Regiment, Is
probably one Of the best drilled companies in
the Eastern States, and gave an exhibition
drill which was really wonderful. Their
wheels about In line and column and their
obliques were superb; their irlngs the best
have ever seen In my life. In the battery
the standing gun drill was very fair. the
mounted drill was very creditable. IN the
company skirmish match, at target practice
was struck with the admirable practical
diselpline enforced and shown; the skirmish
line was well preserved and aligned both in
advance and retreat; not single man fred
before the proper time; there Was not mus
ket nred before being carefully aimed not
the faintest indication OF haste or furry,
and not the smallest accident Of any kind.
AZ the exhibition match Of 100 men from the
brigade many OF the spectators were veter-
ans OF the war, and they agreed that tie FIRE
from these 100 men would have annihilated
any thousand men that either side could
nave produced during the war; that In such
nre Rieketts's Division could not have got
hat way across the open ground. IL struck
me as being quite marvellous, and as Justify
ing In itself the existence OF the Maine
militia. Guard duty Is poorly done. This Is
the weak point Of the Maine militia" Capt.
Field speaks highly Of the staff departments,
and also says: II would trust the Malns
militia In mob or riot TO give as good an
account Of themselves as any / know in
America. He recommends thorough, sys-
tematie instruction, larger appropriation,
the experiment Of company cooking and az
organization Of a medical department

THAT REPORTED MURDER.
Nothing Definite in Regard to the Al
legged Killing of Young.
Especial to the Press

LEWISTON, Nov 16.-A special to the Lew
iston Journal from Pennington says that but
little that is definite can be CLEANED in regard
30 the reported affray by which it is alleged
that James Young of Harrington lost his
life. A little party of three or four went
from Pennington into the Moosehead lum-
bering regions. Young was one, fellow
from Kansas City, No. who had been stop
ping around Pennington for several weeks,
was another, and a brother of Young is
stated to have been the third, 1t is now re-
ported that the fight was with the noted
Bean family at the Moose river, where the
Pennington party stopped on their way to
the logging camp. After the fight, it is said,
that although stabbed in the throat, Young
went on and reached the camp before dying.
1t is hoped that ere long the reports may be
definitely disposed of. Tuesday morning,
Dead River man, visiting in Pennington,
said to the Journal man that there was no
doubt in his own mind that Young had been
murdered. and it is generally credited in the
Dead River region.

1t Is probable that players who have
jumped contracts will be blacklisted BY the
International Associations, and that an ef-
fort will be made TO combine all leagues into
one association. One object of this ass0eia-

ing players from the surplus of large league
clubs which, 1t is the impression, have se-

MExicAn POLITICS.
a Belief that Gen. Cadena was
Killed for Political Reasons.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 16-There are in
st. Louis at this time a number of Mexicans
who have been Obliged to leave their native
country on account of failure of or the dis
cOyery of revolutionary schemes with which
they have been connected and in Chicago a
larger number of them are waiting for the
time when a change of administration will
enable them to return in safety to their
homes. The most interesting subject of
conversation among all of these MeXicans
has been the report of the assassination of
Gen. Cadena, at Zacetecas, Mexico.
Gen. Cadena was candidate against Gen.
Diaz for the presidency of the Mexican re-
public in 'S3, and always has been regarded
by DiaZ as an enemy and dangerous man.
The report of his death was confirmed Sun
day, and ii was stated in private letter that
Gen. Cadena had been killed by political
enemies, who had reasons to fear his infu-
ence and his ambition. The exiled Mexicans
here beieye that the death of this leader re.
moves the most formidable opponent to the
bill now pending in the Mexican Congress,
which grants President DiaZ an extension
for two years of his term of Office
