coRRIN ON STRIKES.
The Reading President Before the
Congressional Committee.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-The Congress
ional Committee appointed to investigate the
strike on the Reading Railroad system met
at the Continental Hotel this morning and
examined President Oorbin of the Reading
Railroad Company. The special purpose of
the committee in holding sessions in this
city is to hear the railroads side of the ques-
tion. Speaking of the striking miners, Mr..
Corbin said: "We are, and have been will
ing to take up the question Of a readjustment
of wages If the men will return to work,
but we will not treat with them while out.
We will make the basis as high as any other
company, but cannot make 1t higher and
compete We don't care whether the men
belong to labor organizations or not and will
not seek to find them out, but will put to
work all the miners who apply at our col
lieries and ask no questions. But If there Is
no more coal mined from the Schuylkill re-
gion until we are compelled TO mine 1t by
discharging the men who came to us In our
troubles and stood by us, to- make way for
strikers, no more will ever be mined while i
have influence enough to prevent it,.
A member of the committee asked, "Why
do YOU refuse to take any Of the 2600 men
who went out on the railroad system back?'
Because they went out to injure the road;
because they left me in the lurch and tried
to injure our business"
'Dou you mean-to say, and go on record as
saying, that for that, and that only, you will
not take them backP"
''Yes, emphatically. Iwant that to go on
record. They left me, and gave them no.
tice 1t will be a pretty cold day if l dis
help for men who deserted and attempted to
ruin me-"

Rnmor Respecting the Dexter and
Newport Gases.

BANGOR, Feb. 15.-One of the familiar
figures in Bangor yesterday was that of Pet
er Bennett of Newport, the victim of the
robbery. The old man is very bitter
against his assailants, and when asked about
the Case said Il tell you some of them dev-
lis are out in Newport still. That is where
the rest of my money has gone" He Is very
sure that the men now under arrest will be
convicted, but wants some of the prominent
men out in Newport drawn into the case.
Samuel G. Stevens of South Norridge-
wock, has been summoned to Bangor to tes-
tify in the Stain Cromwell case. Mr.. Stew
ems formerly lived in Parkman and was in
Dexter the day of the robbery. He claims
that he saw these men there and that he can
identify one them.
The method of departure from Newport of
the Peter Bennett robbers, which was
thought to be cne of the things that could not
be explained, is now known according to re-
port They left via Newport Pond and on
skates. At least this is what will be shown
at the time of the trial. 1t will be shown also
when and where certain parties purchased
skates, and experts will have something to
say about skate tracks, as well as other tracks
made that night. 1t is also rumored that
certain people who were once very sure they
saw Whitney jump from the train that Sun
day night, are now sadly afflicted with for
getfulnese, and can't remember much about
it, 1t is also reported that the defence will
try and break down the character of Mrs.
Patten, who recognizes Foster, for truthful
ness, but all the people from that section
speak in the highest terms of her.
County Attorney Appleton, when shown
the Fowler story by which Stain is located
in Medford, Mass, on the day that Cashier
Barron was murdered, after reading the ac-
count in the newspaper said that the evil
dence presented in the paper, was not ad-
missable, adding that what a stranger to Mr..
Fowler told him about another. stranger,
would be excluded. Stain was noted char
acter about that section and his name might
be used in jest. What we would
like to see down here" continued he, sis the
man who said that was stain, and see who
he is, and why he made such statement.

BATH EXCITED.
An Arrest by a Liquor Constable
Causes a Small Sized Riot.

BATH, Feb. 15.-Since yesterday afternoon
Bath has been in state of great excitement.
At o'clock Allan A. Mcdonald. one of the
special liquor constables, arrested Edward
Hartt on Water street, for drunkenness and
disturbance of the peace. In effecting the
arrest Hartt's head was cut open, one Of his
eyes was blacked and his nose badly bruised.
DR.. E. NJ. Fuller was called in and dressed
the wounds. Within five minutes after the
arrest, crowd of 200 men was assembled in
front Of the police station, highly indignant
at the constable's action. Rev. j. ID. Hill,
President of the Law and Order League
passed, and the crowd hooted, hissed and
jeered him until he was out of sight. At
o'clock Hartt was removed from the station
ands taken to his home. The crowd as
sembled in even larger numbers in the eve
ming, and angry threats against Constable
McDonalds life came from many throat
Mayor Wakefield, from the City Hall steps,
addressed the crowd, urging them to remain
quiet, and he informed them that justice
should be dons the prisoner.
Mcdonald lives about mile outside the
city, and Mayor Wakefield, wishing to see
him, sent hack after him. The crowd
learned this, and about fifty followed the
hack out about half way, and waited for its
return. Mcdonald, however, refused to
come into the city, but sent word to Mayor
Wakefield that he would do so if an officer
was sent for him. The crowd which had wait
ed for the hack was sorely disappointed at
not finding their victim, and, when the hack
reached the city, the remainder of the mob
crowded around it and cries of Lynch him,
lynch him. filled the air, and when they dis
covered that Mcdonald was not in the hack,
they were even more incensed The excite
ment continued till midnight
This morning Hartt was arraigned before
Judge Coombs on charge of drunkenness
and disturbance of the peace. He pleaded
not guilty. He was sorry looking object.
as his head was tied up in flannel and his
face was badly discolored. In the court
room were 800 men who sympathized with
him, and who looked hard things at Con-
stable Mcdonald. Hartt is skilled work
man in the brass foundry of Collector F. B.
Torrey Mr.. Torrey is very indignant over
the affair, and has engaged w. E. Hogan to
defend Hartt Mr.. Hogan asked that the
case be postponed until Friday morning at
10 o'clock, as several of his witnesses were
unobtainable. Judge Coombs granted the
request, and the court adjourned. Nc

NEooTIAToRs HOPEFUL
That They Have Settled the Disputes
over the Atlantic Fisheries.
Their Labors End With the Signing
of a Treaty.
Behring's sea Troubles and Com
mercIa. Reciprocity Not There.

WASHINGTON, Feb 15-After dairy ses-
sions for the Hast two weeks, the fisheries
commissioners at seven o'clock tonight COM
pleted their labors and signed treaty, which
it is believed, will result in satisfactory
settlement of the disputes which have ex-
listed for almost century between this gov
ernment and Great Britain lover the North
Atlantic fisheries. The treaty is signed by
ali six of the commissioners, and is said to
have their full concurrence. 1t will be sent
to the President tomorrow for transmission
to the Senate. Before the treaty can take
effect, it must have the ratification of the
Queen, Canada and Newfoundland as well
as the Senate. Although the treaty is not at
present. to be made public, it can be stated
that it relates exclusively to the disputes
concerning the fisheries OF the North Allan
tic coast, and does not include any provis-
ions concerning the Behring's sea trouble or
commercial reciprocity. The treaty does not
contemplate the admission of fish into the
United States free of duty.
Secretary Bayard said tonight that he
could not because of his official position,
make known the contents of the treaty, but
it was his earnest wish that it should be
given to the press by those having the right
to make such disposition of it, and that
every liue of il should be published. The
dispute had been of long standing and had
come to him by inheritance when he as
sumed the duties Of Secretary of State. He
had used his best endeavors to reach salts
factory agreement with Great Britain and
believed he had succeeded in so far as it lay
in his power to effect settlement
1t is stated that the President, upon trans
mitting the treaty to the Senate will make
startling innovation upon precedent by. rec
ommending that the treaty be made public.
A British Idea.
LONDON. Feb. 16-The Standard, referring
to the signing of the fisheries treaty~at
Washington congratulates the commission
ers and assumes that should the Senate re-
fuse to ratify the treaty, President Cleveland
would use his constitutional prerogative to
make provisional arrangement with Cana
da on the basis Of the treaty which would
v serve lne same purpose, IN tne nope tnat the me
treaty.

c. c. BeaI, Of Clinton, Killed by
Drinking Poisoned Liquor,
while His Son Narrowly Escapes a
Similar Death.
Suspicious That the Dead Man Was
the Victim of Foul Play.
Especial to the Press.

CLINTON, Feb. 15-Last evening the vii
lage of Clinton was thrown into state of
excitement by the sudden death of Mr.. G. G.
Beal prominent resident of the town, and
the illness of his son George, both of whom
had been poisoned by drinking from bottle
of whiskey in which there was large guam
tity of strychnine. Mr.. Beal had his liquor
sent him from Boston, and during the after
noon drank glass of whiskey, taking it
from one.of a number of bottles which he
had received not long ago. In few mo-
ments after Mr.. Beal had drunk the liquor,
he complained that he did not feel well, and
went out to walk, in the hope that the fresh
air would revive him. The powerful poison
soon rendered him so weak, however, that a
friend whom he met took Mr. Beal in his
carriage. just as the house was reached,
Mr.. Beal had a convulsion, and although
DIR. Tash of Fairfield happened to be on the
premises and did everything in his power to
alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate
man, death ensued in about an hour after Mr.
Beal had taken the liquor.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Bears son George had al
so drank from the bottle, and, like his
father, was taken violently i'll. Prompt
medical attention saved his life, but his con-
dition for time was critical.
Today there is quite strong suspicion
pre- valent that the liquor drank by Mr. Beal
and his son was poisoned by parties in Clin-
ton, and the community is about equally di-
vided on this point. At all events, the bot
tie from which they partook was one of
barrelful of bottles, filled with whiskey,
which had been purchased in Boston. The
liquor was kept in the cellar, and about half
dozen bottles had been used. The bottle
which did the poisoning sat on shelf in
Mr.. Beals store. After the son visited the
bottle, he filed it with water to hide his
theft. He now says there was more liquor
gone than his father would drink at one time
This would indicate that Mr.. Beal had
drank from the bottle previously, and If he
was not poisoned by the liquor then, the as
sumption is that it was drugged afterwards.
Coroner Carver will visit the scene of the
poisoning tomorrow, and win examine few
witnesses, after which he will adjourn the
inquest and order post mortem examina-
tion. The liquor in the bottle will also be
analyzed
The death of Mr. Beal will be loss to
the community. He was extensively en-
gagged in trade, dealing in groceries and dry
goods, and owning, in connection with his
grocery business, large ice house. He also
owned a cooper shop, employing number
of hands.
