ton CHE grandson and his wife, while was
TO drag out the money trunk. I carried the
dark lantern and accidentally threw the
rays full into old Benefits face He awoke
and sprang up, while Whitkey grappled
with him. In the struggle Whitney fired
nls revolver so close to me that the powder
blinded my eyes and dropped the lantern;
the doctor became scared and bolted, leav
ing US la the room alone. took the trunk
out of the house, where Whitney and the
doctor joined me, and we riaed it and ran
whitney and kept together, although we
knew that the doctor had nearly all the
money. We Travelled until the morning
commenced to break, and then we plunged
into the woods and concealed ourselves A
cold rain commenced falling and we crept
under some logs for protection, but these
afforded but little. All day we lay in that
chilling place, and at night arose and
tramped on. We counted the money during
the day and found that we together had
"a, 900, thus leaving about $4,000 In the
hands Of the doctor. All we had to eat the
first day was piece of bread Whitney had
in his pocket The second morning we
called at a farmhouse and got something
to eat, and then we entered a little woodshed
near the country school-house and slept
through the daylight hours We rode the
most OF the distance from that point until
we reached Rumfort, where we were ar
rested"
During the recital Of this curious story
the crowd listened with open mouths. Foster
made dramatic gestures, and it was evident
that not word was false. At its close Mr.
White stated that the Government would
rest its case, as he was satisfied with the
strength of his testimony. Neither had he
any argument to make. Mr.. Laughlin said
he would not argue the matter and would
present no testimony at present. The
Judge said that under the original Massa-
chusetts laws in vogue when Maine was set
apart all three of the parties would have
been punished by hanging. He would
order that the respondents be committed to
Jail, without bail, to await the August term
of the Criminal Court.
A most affecting scene followed. Mrs
Weed threw her arms about her husbands
neck and wept as If her heart would break,
while the daughter tried to comfort the
mother. But the doctor was torn from his
wife and hurried off to don the convict's
suit. Whitney and Foster will probably
not be sentenced at this term Of court, for
if SO they will not be able to testify against
their accomplice next August

Our Ministers to the Black Republic
From the Nelc York GrGphic

1t may seem a strange thing to
say in this era of strife for official
place that the Administration has
found considerable difficulty in keep
ing filled a position that pays a salary
of Sc, 600 per annum. 1t is very true, how
ever. Of course, the location of the official
residence is not the most attractive iii the
worl, for it is on the cost Of Africa, but
living is cheap, the exactions of society not
too stringent, and the duties of the place
merely nominal. 1t has a high and long
official title, for the occupant is called the
Minister Resident to the Republic of
Liberia, and thrifty man might save
three-fourths of his salary and come back
after his four years term was over with
several thousand dollars in his clothes.
That is, he could do so if he would live that
long.
The position and the salary are relics of
the Republican regime. There never was
any reason in the world for establishing the
place except for the purpose of coddling the
black voters of dis country and furnishing
an office for some ambitious black politician.
Under the present Administration there
were half a hundred appllcaI It's for the
place before Mr.. Cleveland was week in
the White House The Rev. Moses Hopkins
of North Carolina was seemingly the best
endorsed among all of them, and he was
appointed to the place. He was Repub-
lican, and the people who did not know the
secret of his success raised a row when they
saw his name sent into the Senate. But
Senator'S Vance and Ransom were very
happy. ,,.,.;,., ell, ,,ood0a ,ooro
preacher, wac was a very strong carl III
The political contests of the old North
State, and a whooper-up of the negroes
from away back He was a thoroughly
educated and respec able man of bright
ability, and had been for many years q
sharp thorn in the side of the Democratic
PARTY in North Carolina, and they wanted
him out of the State in some way or other,
and they expected when he got out that he
would remain out. He did so, for after
about years residence on the coast he did
what most strangers who go there do-he
died.
The next man who went out as our rep
reSentative was a Kansas politician of the
colored persuasion named Taylor. He was
a sort of half barber, half lawyer and Of
course he had not been there very long be-
fore he was uuarreliag with the local
authorities, for that was The only resource
he had TO keep his blood from stagnation.
But when the fever seas came wanderl g
up the coast the Kansas man feared the
fate of his predecessor and hurried back to
America. When he reached New YORK he
staid a couple of weeks at the Hoffman
House, and the stories ne told Of the con-
dition, morals and mode of life amid the
negroes Of the much bepraised LiberiaD

dared TO undertake the task, for private
circulation among members Of Congress

for a s., 900 salary for minister TO that de-
lightful spot.
