Developments Concern
ing the Plot Against the Q.

CHICAGO, July 6.-J. A. Bauereisen. dep
uty auditor of the Aurora (Ill.) Division of
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, was
brought to Chicago this morning under ar
rest by Deputy United States Marshal. He
is charged with completely in the alleged
dynamite plot against the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy Railway Bauereisen is not
the mysterious fourth man who eluded the
officers yesterday when the three arrests
were made, and exactly what his connection
with the plot is the Burlington officers refuse
to state at this time. Deputy u s. Marshal
Burchard left for Aurora this afternoon with
warrants for more of the alleged conspira-
tars. How many men he was after he would
not say.
Bauereisen's bail, in the sum of $1,000,
was furnished by A. B. Fielder, a Chicago
merchant.
General Manager Stone, of the Burlington,
said this afternoon: "a letter thrown away
by BrOderick yesterday connects Bauereisen
with the other three beyond the shadow of a
doubt" Stone added: dynamite was OBJ
tanned yerterday from the Brotherhood S
hall at Aurora"
General Manager Stone also furnishes the
copy of a circular, alleged to be issued by a
branch of the Brotherhood in Chicago, call
ing for engineers to engage on the Burling-
ton under assumed names, and then, acting
under orders, ruin and abandon their lOcOmo-
tives.
The Brotherhood will look up the case, and
IL satisfied that it is a matter of persecution
by the railroad or conspiracy by detective
agency, will defend the prisoners to the
court of last resort, but, If it is shown that
ence, they will have to take care of them

in listening to the petitioners for the pardon
of Elmer ID. Morrill, who is in State Prison

convict, Cyrus ii. Morrill,, teacher In bust
ness college at Sheboygan, Wis, l.. A. Wads-
worth of Hiram, Judge A. G. Andrews of
Augusta and B. f. Pease of Cornish appear

and letters from Hannibal Hamlin, ex-Gov
Garcelon, Daniel Hammond of Bethel, Gen.
John j. Perry, Hon. j. w. Bradbury,
Joseph A. Locke and Kew. 1. J. Meade of
Augusta. The chief arguments for the
prisoner were his youth and the disgrace
to his family. County Attorney Libby, of
Androscoggin county, opposed the petit
TONERS and hold that Morrill, had only re-
ceived his just deserts.
Rev. Mr.. Mcintyre of Lewiston also spoke
in opposition to granting Morrill, pardon.
The case was tabled by the Council
A petition was received from Co. F, Angus
ia, asking that targets for shooting might be
erected on the State grounds north of the

point to receive the bullets, but it was claim

A LOST WITNESS.
Attorney General Baker Says He Has
Some important Evidence.

BANGOR, July 6.-In the hearing in the
Stain case today. Captain Henry L. Wood
testified for the defense that the store where
the respondents were alleged to have
brought crackers was not open ON the day of
Barron's death.
George II. Robinson testified that he held
lease of the Farmers Hotel, Augusta. from
April, 1876, to June, 1877, and was landlord
up to January, 1878. He had no recollection
of a visit from men resembling the respond
ents f. NJ. Bowman, during the time, had
nothing to do with the house.
George Taylor who was clerk at the
farmers Hotel when it was run by the
previous witness, substantated his testi-
mony.
AT this point Mr.. Baker said that he had
other witnesses, who were not present.
They were NJ. E. Mudgett, of Bangor. and
County Attorney L. l.. Carleton, of Kenne-
bee county. 1t was agreed that If they did
not come before the hearing was over their
dispositions would be taken. He then said
that the defence would submit the following
Massachusetts dispositions: L. w. Wheeler,
III. HI. Wheeler, s. G. Sanborn, A. c. San
born. Herbert White, w. N. Adams, Mrs. Il.
b. Hewins, w. ii. Bullard, j. III. Richard
son, James Buntin, Pascal Grover, Ii. S.
Hamant, G. y. Hamant, j. ID. Bulard, Mar
garet Steele, Marcus Gilmore, Joseph john
son, l.. A. Wiley, L. E. Allen Jeremiah
johnson, p. III. Felter.
Attorney General Baker arose and told the
court that the government had discovered
very important new evidence. They had
never been able to trace in the past the
movements Of the two men after they left
young Stain on these trips, but now they had
discovered man who drove these parties
from one place to another around Dexter, ,un-
ger circumstances of the utmost secrecy.
ms man WAS subpenaed by an officer one
the officer telegraphs that he canfffi5t si1S nS
found. He has been kept in secrecy all
these years, and has evidently gone back in
to secrecy again. This witness cannot be
examined very well unless it is
done orally, and we want it done
in the presence of the court. The govern
menG may be able to get him this afternoon,
but we want him. He is more than a re-
luctant witness. The fellows name was
stated to be Maddocks, and he was last
heard of in Bar Harbor.
Mr. Barker said that such case was very
rare, and he did not know what to ask in the
matter.
There had been delay enough in the case,
and there was hardly time enough now, he
said, to get the case ready for the law term
in Portland. No notice had ever been given
the defence that this testimony was TO be in
troduced. 1t was finally decidedt to adjourn
until O'Clock this afternoon, and in the
meantime institute a search for the lost
Ma1dOckS.

The Munson murder.

BANGOR, July 6.-The Monson murder is
the sole topic of conversation here. Coroner
Zenas B. Poole and his jury finished the in
quest this morning, and rendered their ver-
dict. The say, in substant, that Alexander
M. McKenney, the dead contractor, came
to his death from the effects of two rifle
bullets from rifle in the hands of Edwin B.
Hall, of Bangor. The shooting occurred July
3D. on the south shore of Lake Onaway. As
yet there is no clew to the whereabouts of
young Hall. He is about 80 years of age,
and has been an extensive traveller, having
passed much time in California and Mexico.
1t is thought that he has gone there, and
with the start that he has got he will prob
ably never be captured The father of the
young man is one Of the most prominent
merchants in Bangor.

the stamens and pistils, which are thrown
away as worthless. Over the bottom Of each
frame or chamber above described IS spread
a layer Of petals, and the frames piled one
upon another, so that in each chamber the
layer Of flowers has above and beneath 1t
layer OF white grease, which absorbs the per-
fume until the petals become limp and with
cred. They are then removed, and replaced
with fresh ones, and this Is repeated each
morning until the pomade attains the requir
ed degree Of perfumed strength. II is then
carefully removed, packed In earthern jars,
sealed, labeled and made ready for export.
Olive oils are used In a similar way, except
that instead Of being poured on the bottom
OF the frame they are used TO saturate pieces
OF coarse cotton cloth, which are then spread
upon wire netting in tight frames three or
feet square: Thus prepared these frames
are filled with petals as In the preceding pro-
cess; the refined and 0dorless olive oil abb
serbs the aroma Of the flowers and becomes
like pOmade, vehicle tor the retention and
transportation Of the perfume. This latter
process Is especially applied to roses and aca-s
cias. To extract the odOr from pOmades or
perfumed oils they have simply TO be satura-
ted with alcohol, which, with It's stronger af-
hnity. absorbs the perfume, leaving the
grease or oil to be used for ordinary pur-
poses.
1T naturally requires large quantity Of
n0wers to make a comparatively small
amount Of perfume. The process Of filling
the pomade frames with fresh flowers goes
on daily for several months before IL attains
the desired strength. 1t is .by this method
only that the delicate aroma Of the choicest
flowers can be extracted and preserved with
out charge for transport to distant markets.
The process Of distillation, which yields
essences and essential oils Is altogether diff
ferent. In this the flowers are thrown into
large copper retorts with water, In which
they are b0iled-the perfume going over In
yapor into condensing coils as the ordinary
distillation of highwines from grain. But
the heat often changes the character Of a
perfume, and ii Is only the most robust and
vigorous odors that will stand the test Of fire
without deterioration. The "hower waters"
OF the perfumers' shops are made by placing
alcohol in the condensing tank, which con-
denses and absorbs the odorous vapor until it
becomes fragrant and sweet. Most Of the
popular handkerchief extracts are made BY
sskillfully combining the odors Of several diff
ferent flowers, which form a harmony Of
perfumes, and often by becoming the pet
fragrance Of society for a season make the
fortune Of the lucky inventor. Thus Jock
ey Club and 'Patchouly' in their day had an
extraordinary vogue and filed the pockets Of
their inventors"

SANFORD, July 6.-Fire destroyed the dry
house connected with S. B. Emery's furni-

house was of little consequence, but strong
wind carried the sparks onto the roofs of
buildings near by, located ON Main street, in
the centre of the village. At one time four
streams from the hydrants of the Sanford
water works were concentrated on the
Hatch buildings, which were on fire in a
dozen different places. Had the fire at this

BANGOR. July 6.-There was notable
death in Dexter last night. George Hamil-
ton, one Of the leading citizens of the town
and treasurer of the Dexter Savings Bank,
died after short illness. Hamilton was the
man who brought out the suicide theory in
the Barron case, and has followed it up so
persistently. He has become noted through
his work against any theory that Barron was
murdered. The deceased had been intimate
ly connected with the interests Of Dexter all
his life. For many years, and until he posi-
lively declined longer to serve, he was chair
man OF the board Of selectmen, and very ac-
tive in his efforts to secure the building of

Their Livelihood Endangered.

BosToN, July 6.-What promises to be-
come stampede amang Democrats in Gard
ner, Mass. has begun and the leaders of the
party in that thriving town are discounted.
Gardner gave Blaine six plurality, but its
tendency has been toward Democracy for
several years and last year Lowering re-
ceiyed "a plurality. The movement just be-
gun promises to make it a sure Republican
town. The Mills bill is the cause. Gardner
is the seat of the Haywood chair shops,
among the largest manufactures of this class
of goods in the country. The Mills bill
struck severe blow at the industry, or rath-
er will do so If it becomes a law, by putting
chair reeds on the free list. The Heywoods
employ 1900 men. They want protection.
and many of them who never entered the
Republican camp have signed the papers of
the Young Mems Republican Club. Three
prominent men in the Democratic party have
declared their intention to vote for Harrison
and Morton. These are George ii. Wood,
DIR. Guy w. Garland and Edward M. Ellis.
The last named is specially affected by the
Mills bill, for he is the inventor of machine
which does the stripping of the chair reeds,
and the passage Of the bill will almost stop
the use of the machine in America. Henry
Haywood, the head of the chair concern, adj
mits that the Importation of manufactured
reeds free of duty will compel him to reduce
the wages of his help; still he is Democrat
and will efipE IN his no rfv
