Weak Points in the Case Against the

VINO were the perpetrators Of the cold
blooded murder, which has shocked this COM
munity, up to tonight, remained in as much
doubt as ON the day Mrs. Howe lost her life.
1t was sincerely hoped that the arrest OF
three men, Day, Trafton and PHILIPPINE,
would explain everything. The circum-
stances under which these men were taken
into custody justified the suspicious which
were excited. For several days Coroner
Murphy and jury have been diligently
taking evidence from all persons who might
have anything to say concerning the shoot
ing, but up to this afternoon, at o'clock,
when tea was taken, there was no evidence
adduced that would be considered sufficient
70 JUSTLY the strong suspicious then resting
upon the prisoners. Several witnesses saw
two persons padding in the river in canoes
shortly before and after the fatal shots were
being nred, but not one Of these witnesses
were prepared to swear that the prisoners
wore the. parties seen that all the prisoners
were on the river on Sunday last there IS no
reason to doubt; this fact they admit, but
they deny. that they were nearer than several
miles OF the place from where the shots
were SAID TO have been fired. In support OF
their assertion the prisoners say that certain
members OF their family can be called to
prove this.
With respect to the finding Of the rifles,
previous reports published have created an
erroneous impression. The Winchester
rifles were not found near the ambuscade
spot: They were discovered in the barn be-
longing to the prisoner, Day, which barn
was a considerable distance from Days
home. The prisoners, PHILIPPINE and Traf-
ton, say. that they had been working in the
hay field for several weeks for Day, in the
vicinity of whose premises wild duck were
found so as to be convenient in case they
should want to use them.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
FORGIVEN.


Tonight Mr.. Frederick BrytOn will appear
at Portland Theatre, opening the dramatic
season of 1889 with his play of Forgiven"
The sale of seats will begin today at the box
office. Forgiven" has more distinct merit
than is perceptible in most plays of the same
type. Its story is told with simplicity and
directness, its scenes are carried on amid
such picturesque surroundings as never fail
to gratefully impress the eye, and bits of
comedy of kind that invariably appeals to
popular assemblage. alternate with pathos
that stirs with unfailing swiftness the emo
tons of the throng. AS Jack Dia-
mond, Mr.. Bryton appealed to the sympa-
each act, and recalled with heartiness and
spontaneity which were unmistakable.

of Lieut.. Gilchrist, on Newbury street, who
was married yesterday at Bath. Upon arri-
val the glee club of the Guards rendered
several selections very satisfactorily. after
which the company were invited in by the
Lieutenant and his wife, and seated to a
very handsome collation.. After the COLA
ton the company was called to order. and
Capt Printable. in behalf of the Guards, in
a neat speech, presented Lieut.. Gilchrist
with an elegant easy chair and set of silver
knives and forks. Lieut.. Gilchrist appropri-
ately responded, and invited the boys to
smoke. After few songs from the glee
club, the Guards left, after wishing many
years of happiness to the newly welded

A Case Of Misrepresentation.
90 the Edition Of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
The Argus of August 16, correctly reports
Mr.. Blaine as saying in his City hall speech
that TRUSTS are largely private affairs with
which neithe r Mr.. Cleveland nor myself has
any particular right to interfere" If Mr..
Cleveland has any particular right to in
terfere with trusts ana regards them as
horrible things" he has duty in the prem
Uses as well, which he is criminally derelict
in neglecting to perform. Mr.. Blaine's no.
ton of his own personal right to interfere,
whether correct or erroneous, rightfully
controls his individual action, whatever
may be his private judgment of the precise
character of trusts or of their operation up
on the welfare of the community. If it is
matter of.no Importance Mr.Blaine might as
well be quoted accurately by the Argus from
its own columns from day to day. 1t is no.
ticeable that they now and currently change
the word myself in the sentence above
cited to "any private citizen" Why this
inaccuracy?
At this point we may drop Mr. Blaine from
the discussion since what he actually said
has received full comment.
The Argus. however, and the Democratic
press generally must be understood to af-
HrH JllaI some private clLlZtnS nave par
ticular right" to interfere with trusts. Among
said citizens shall we reckon the editor of the
Argus? Why does he not interfere, having
a particular right TO do so? Or is he one of
the defenders of trusts? WIN he specify by
name or by sufficient description the citizens
who have such right?
The fact probably is that trusts being
largely private affairs. private concers or
parties that conceive themselves particular
ly wronged by their operation will seek to
have their grievances remedied by due course
and process of law. II the decision shall be
favorable to trusts, it will then appear that
neither Mr.. Cleveland nor Mr.. Blaine las Mr..
Blaine confines himself to affirming), has
any particular right to interfere with them
and the further contention of the Argus that
some private citizens have that right will al
so fall to the ground. 1t will then be in or
der to amend the laws in certain respects If
that shall be the sense of the people.
If, on the other hand, the discussion shall
be adverse to trusts, the contention:of the Ar
gus and its political allies will be sustained
as to the plaintiffs 10 the supposed actions.
In either event, it is unlikely that either Mr.
Cleveland or Mr.. Blaine will be mentioned
in the decision as entitled to any measure
either of praise or of censure. T. f. L.

roads will close their fiscal years for report
to the Massachusetts Railroad Commission
ers. Probably none Of the reports save that

hibit than for the year closing in 1887. The
Fitchburg and the New York & New Eng

Maine Railroad system will certainly not
