THE BlDDEFoRD SENSATION.
Continuation of the Trial of the Con-
spirators.
The Defence Depending Upon an
AIibi and General DeniaIs.
Especial to the Press. ]

ALFRED, June 10.-The Biddeford con-
spiraey case is still in progress and will not
get to the jury until tomorrow. The case
was opened for the defence by Mr.. Haley.
On the part of Noel Villandre, the door
keeper of the assessors room, the headquar-
ters of the repeaters, the defence is an alibi.
They claim that he was there about five or
ten minutes in the morning looking after the
Street Commissioner, and at 10 o'clock
started for his work, a mile or more away,
where he remained until o'clock in the
afternoon.
On the part of Charles Fl. Andrews, whom
it is claimed by the government vouched for
Gillis, a repeater in Ward 7, as Couture they
say that he only made the assertion Couture
was a resident and voter in Ward Z, that he
was speaking of the name and not the man
who presented himself as Coutre or Goochy.
AS to the other defendant, Elias Clark, the
defence is general denial of the material
allegations in the government testimony con-
Meeting him with Cote or Carter. he denies
that he was in Foot's saloon to see about the
breakfast for the repeaters; did not know
that they were repeaters; did not know that
there were to be any from out of the city
He denies that he was in Portland the week
before to meet Cote; says he never had any
conversation with Cote, Carter or anybody
about procuring illegal votes. Some of the
defendants witnesses from Ward say that
they heard talk in the morning, when the
polls were opened that repeaters were in the
city, and the ward clerk testified that was
one reason why ne was particular to remem-
ber conversations which he testified to.
Leonard Andrews, I'd, a brother of the
defendant, Charles II. Andrews, says mes
sage was sent to his brother about noon of
that day to ''look out"
Clark denies that he paid for the break
fasts and cigars for the repeaters on election
morning at Foots saloon. 1t is claimed by
the defence that they were paid for by
Michael Fitzgerald, one of the repeaters,
and that the money did not come from any
of these defendants.
Notes.
In March, Noel Velandre weighed about
1870 pounds. Today he tips the scales at 100.
All of tomorrow will probably be consum-
ed with the case. The evidence Will be con-
cluded before adjournment tonight
Clark, Andrews and Velandre occupy the
front seat directly in the rear of the bar.
They give strict attention to the evidence.
The Portland repeaters make up the back
ground ON the left They spend much of
their time in reading papers.
Every witness for the defense up to this
noon has with him but one exception, been
city official of Biddeford.

business this term.

An ancient numbug Attacked

The absurd ancient parliamentary usage
that no reference shall be made in the SEN
ate to the proceedings in the House was at
Senate today. Mr.. Hoar introduced reso-
luton which, if adopted, would abolish this
old rule. Mr.. Hale thought it time to get rid
of this absurdity. He thought the world
would not come to an end if allusion should
be made in the Senate to facts of which
every one had knowledge. The resolution
was referred to the committee on rules.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-State Senator
Lock of the Lawrence, Mass, district called
on President Cleveland yesterday to invite
him and his bride, on behalf of the Boston
and Maine railroad, to take tour over that
road and its branches this summer. The
President received the invitation very pleas
antly. He laughingly referred to the similar
invitation he had received from the Boston
and Lowell railroad. and said he had not
made up his mind yet what he would do
when he took his vacation. For the present
he would be so busy, he said. with the work
which had accumulated during his absence
at Deer Park that he would not be able to
think of anything else.
A number of reports are in circulation
about where and how the President and his
bride will pass the heated term. 1t has been
stated at the White House authoritatlyely
that the President has made no plans what
ever for the summer He will remain at the
White House attending to his official duties
until the adjournment of Congress- In the
meantime, he may decide upon the manner
of eniOyinp his vacation.

ian preacher. The parties were Catholics
but of full age, and the registrar issued
them license \ Catholic priest refused
to marry them, as the parents Of
the lady who is an helress, objected to the
union. Mgr Fahrc Roman Catholic Bishop
Of Montreal was appealed to 10y the mother
of the bride to declare the marriage null
and void which his lordship did and the
Archbishop Of Quebec confirmed tue Bish'
ops action. The case has occupied the
attention of the Superior Court here
for some days Counsel for the mother
laid down AS an indisputable propo
sitlou that rs the parties had
not abandoned their religion, they were
subject to laws to which the State had ex-
tended, as projections its sanction. Coun-
sci for the husband maintained that while
England had conceded religious liberty to
the Roman Catholics of Canada, it could not
be inferred therefrom that it had divested
the Protestant Church of her right to cele-
brate the marriages of all Christians; also
that the DEGREES of the Council Of Trent,
on which the Bishops had based their de
cisions. were never promulgated in Canada.
Moreover the judgment rendered by the
Privy Council in London in the celebrated
Guibord ease clearly showed the absolute
nulitv of ecclesiastical DEGREES of that
kind The case was taken under consider
alton toy the court.

pioyed in the house, and both were blown
to pieces, parts of the bodies being gath
cred in buckets. A transfer car containing

occurred, and the driver met his fate
with the others The names of the
killed are Christy McCann, workman
aged fifty, body not found, he leaves
a wife and one child; Henry Frank
line workman, aged forty, leaves u wife
and four children; Michael Haney, car
driver, aged thirty-seven, leaves a wife
and three children, who are in Ireland
Property in the vicinity was badly dam
aged, doors and windows for half mile
around being blown in The explosion was
the most disastrous that has occurred at
the works for years. The shock was dis
tnctly felt at Eaton, Hamilton, Dayton
