The hearing at Jay Bridge in the case of
John Powers. arrested on the charge of as
saut aud battery, before Trial Justice
Thompson. Monday afternoon, was largely
attended. A. W Burbank of Livermore
Falls appeared for the defence. Justice
Thompson conducted the prosecution A
large number of witnesses were examined.
All testified without exception that they did
not see the defendant strike Mrs. Loon.
The witnesses for the defence were of the
opinion that both Mr.. and Mrs Loon were
partially intoxicated. DR.. Henry Reynolds
testified that he was called TO see Mrs. Loon
and found her in n state of great nervous
excitement In his opinion this might be
attributed to the effect of violence on the
part of the defendant or to undue exposure.
The trouble arose from the defendants using
force 10 obtain water from well on the
premises of said Loon. Powers was fined
$40 and costs which amountedto SlS.1o.

This statement may be true as far as the
selling part is concerned, but To all outward
appearances the liquid flowed freely, and the
jolly druumcrs imhibed generously, leaving
a tempting array of empty bottles and glasses
about the place.
Strange to relate the enterprising statesmen
all left town before the landlord returned.
They will doubtless he given an opportunity
to settle their bills ON their next trip.

The Austrians Implored to Make Prep
arations to Meet the Russians.

VIENNA, Jan. 80.
NJ. Stourdza, a member of the Roumanian
cabinet, had another long conference with
Count kalnocky, today.
Roumanian advices confirm the reports of
the diversion of Russian troops towards Bes-
sarabia. Quarters have been prepared be-
tween Bender and Kishenoff, to receive fifty
five thousand cavalry early in March.
The Roumanians are disquieted lest the
Russians cross the Pruth in Overwhelming
numbers before the Austrian troops can CO.
operate with the Roumanian army
NJ. Stourdaz's stay in Vienna is connected
with the demand that Austria give substan-
tial guarantees in return for her alliance with
Roumania.

cate such measures as will tend TO put the
