REAssURING REPORT FROM PorspAM.
THE NAIL CAR MURDER.
Sinclair Stabbed by Sellins i'm a Fit Of
Uncomfortable Anger.

BANGOR, Me-, June 1.-THE mystery OF the
''nail-car murder Is gradually being cleared up.
IL Is rumOred that the two mail clerks have made
statements, but the runorS cannot be Substan-
tiated.
hayes is reported to have said that sudden
quarrel came up between SellinS and Sinclair
about the handling OF some mail at Watervile,
and both men were exceedingly angry. Hard
names were called by each man and blows fol-
lowed
That this was the case, scratches on the face OF
the dead man and upon SelllnS' face would seem
10 Indicate. They were quareilng III front OF the
sorting table. suddenly
IN FIT or UNGOvERNABLE RAGE,
SellinS. seized a large knife which was used by
the head clerk In cutting Irvine and made plunge
at Jerry Sinclair, burylng 1t deep in the side OF
his breast. Blood spurted from the wound In a
stream.
Sinclair was unconscious In few moments
They took him over TO the mail bags and LAID him
down. After the train started, SellinS threw the
knife away, and this afternoon II was found.
Hayes saw the Stabbing plainly, but II occurred
so quickly that he was powerlesS TO act In the
matter. This is believed TO be the story which
Hayes will tell In court.
II Is also said that Sellns confessed this MORN
ing TO the marshal that he had committed the
deed In self-defense.
He is said 10 have said that Sinclair had been
drinking, and wnen the quarrel arose Sinclair
walked the whole length OF the car and attacked
him.
sinclair weighed over 200, while Selllns weighed
but $50 and was afraid OF him. Selllns Is much
broken down.

The nose, mouth, eyes and ears are left uncovered
He Is then placed In O tub OF the mud and left

Is scraped on. A shower bath OF the hot water
follows, then plunge In tank OF It; after which
comes the massage by professional; half an
hours siesta-the patient, sleeping, wrapped In q
sheet, In a room the temperature OF which Is
about 0S degrees-and after this another rubbing.

The Horse Mind. HI. s,ep,.

a horse steps on q stone even when going very
rapidly. A writer In Golden Days quotes an old

cavalry that should q man become dismounted. he

Therefore, to step over a PROSTATE man. The In
Jurtes caused by runaway horse are nearly always
inflicted by the animal knocking down. and not by
his stepping on them.

Tariff Hearing on the Senate Side.
VIEWS OF THE COTTON BAGGING MAKERS.

bAOuINu NAAEKS
the Senate subcommittee on the tariff to-day
heard the views Of the cotton bagging makers on
the tariff. The committee was told that the cot
tOn-bagging manufactures had been established
with imported machinery, upon which duty OF
40 per cent had been paid, and that the capacity
OF these establishments was now fully 100 per
cent in advance OF the demand for bagging. A re-
duction OF present rates could be endured only in
case tute butts were made free. The competition
In India on bagging is so erce, however that II 1t
facIOnes would suffer speedy ruin. 1t was further
represented that there Is no demand from the
planters for free bagging, inasmuch the bagging
as well as the iron hopping on cotton bales Is all
weighed and paid for as cotton and the planter in
this way receives more for the bagging than he
pays for iu.

Everybody has heard OF Frank Mfllet He paints

was time when he was not known He sent
pictures TO exhibitions, to be sure and good ones
out no one PAID any particular attention TO them
or saiu nythlng about them. One day he con-
biack sitting on bright red sofa standing against
NiVld yellow background. The effect was just q
trine startling. Friends who saw II In process OF
production expostulated with him, and asked
What ne was going to do with 1t. They were
simply astounded when he announced that he
was going TO seno 1t to the exhibition. They
Iaoored with him, but in vain. They told him
tnat the critics would "wipe the floor with
MIN. They can't do that without mentioning

ply knocked you down and held you there. The
cTlllcs got into towering passion over II. They
wrote wnoie columns about it. They exhausted
the English language In abusing 1t. They rdiculed
had squbS and gibes about II, but every time they
spoke or IL they mentioned Frank Millet. He sud-
denly became the best-knQwn artist in town.
SOMEBODY, because or the stir IL had made, bong at
tne picture at good price, and removed II to the
seclusion OF his own home. When the next exhi-
bltion came on Frank had another picture ready,
one OF very different sort. and very good, but no
better than others which had been exhibited be-
lore. The critics had much TO say about IL. and
NOTED with pleasure the marked improvement"
modestly put IL, "of the value OF criticism, even
though severe, to young artist And a majority

PEELED their attention by a clever trick.
