A Narrow Escape.

Editor Rennebec JOuynai:
A party of young men from Augusta
started on picnic yesterday afternoon and
toward evening arrived at the well known
resort on the IIallowel road in Chelsea COM
monty known as The Barn, kept by the far
famed Carson family. After a short visit an
alteration arose over subject we will not
dwell upon, and one of young men finding
the air too hot in that vicinity for comfort
started to leave. A cry was at once raised
and some of the family started after him,
the pace was set at run and in less time
than it takes to write this, mob of fifteen
or twenty composed of both sexes, were af-
ter that young man, all of them armed with
stones. And If he had been overtaken seri-
Gus results would likely have followed.
team was also stopped by the crowd by
force, they thinking that it contained the
young man herein mentioned. And now, We
ask, how long is this state of affairs going
to continue. The citizens of Chelsea should
look into these matters that appertain to the
peace of their town little closer than they
have. CITIZEN.

And Issue a Ringing Address 10 the
Mechanics Of that City.
Showing the Hostility Of The Democratic
Party to Maine Interests.
A Document That Should be Carefully
Read by Every Voter in the State.

| BATH, Aug "a
The following address has just been issued
to the mechanics of this city by seven of our
most prominent citizens, who have hitherto
voted the Democratic ticket.
To the Mechanics of Bath:
Our city, famed all over the world as the
great ship building city is entirely depend
ent for its future success and prosperity
upon the revival of American commerce.
The present stagnation in Commercial
affairs extends over a longer period than has
ever been known before. Your success and
prosperity depends entirely upon that of our
city. Every effort has been made to induce
Congress TO aid in reyiving our Commerce
but democratic House invariably sets its
seal OF condemnation upon the same. iI9
In obedience to the request of the Bath
Board of Trade, MIR. Dingley offered an
amendment to the Mills bill, placing iron
beams, angles and plates upon the free list.
This would impair no American industry.
Every democratic member of the House vot-
ed no; every republican member voted yea.
The democratic members asserting that the
same WAS in the free ship bill, which is
democratic measure, and means the adms.
sion of foreign built vessels to free regis
try, which would completely destroy ship
building in this city.
Although We have been democrats in the
past, we look with grave fears and appre-
tensions upon the position taken by the dem
ocratic party on the question of free trade M
against protection. The Mills bill origi-
haily placed upon the free list every indus
Try OF our State, except one, as well as every
agricultural product Placing lumber upon
the free list is n very serious blow TO an in
dustry which is of vast importance to our
state:
Believing that American industries should
be protected IN order to maintain the present
rate OF wages anu the comforts OF the Amer

The Democratic STAMPEDE.

We invite the attention of our readers
to the address to the mechanics Of Bath
which appears in another column
this morning. This address is signed by
seven prominent Bath citizens who have
always been Democrats in the past, but
who, in company with hundreds Of 9TH
ers Of their party in different sections Of
the State cannot support the Free Trade
policy of the Democratic party. The ad-
dress very strongly presents some plain
facts which should be carefully consider
ed by every voter in Maine, who values
the prosperity of his State and nation
above partizan success,
Such an appeal coming from prominent
Democrats in the city which is the home
of the Hon. Arthur Sewall, the Maine
member of the National Democratic Com
mittee, is deeply significant of the large
and rapidly increasing number of Demo-
Gratis who will repudiate the Free Trade
policy Of their party and vote for Harri-
son and protection.

Lawyer Crosby says Weed vas at Home
but intoxicated
When Called Upon to See the Old Man
Bennett the Night OF the Robbery.

BANGOR, Aug. "a.
In the supreme judicial court this after
noon Hon. Josiah Crosby made the opening
argument for the defense. He claimed that
his case had been prejudiced by sensational
reports in the newspapers; that it was true
that Whitney and Foster committed the Ben
nett robbery, but DR.. Weed was not with
them and letters never passed between Whit
ney and Weed. and claimed the whole story
of Weeds connection with the robbery had
been invented by Whitney and Foster since
they had been in Jail and their object was to
have some one whom they could swear had
stolen the money as they were unable to pro-
duce it. He said DIR. Weed was at home
when the man called for him but was intoxi-
Gated, his wife had decided to say to callers
he was away. Three witnesses would testi-
fly they were in DR.. Weeds office the night
before the robbery and neither Whitney nor
Foster was there. A witness will testify
that on the night of the robbery DIR. Weed
was attending patient who was very ill in
Newport. MS was tne SUBSTANCE Oh the
opening and then DR.. Weed, the respondent
was called.
He testified Am 46 years old; been a
practicing physician in Newport Is years;
never saw Foster till he was arrested but
was introduced to Whitney year ago last
May when the latter was on a visit to New
port had a slight acquaintance with him but
the subject of the Bennett money was never
mentioned but once and then spoke of it to
Whitney and the latter asked about Bennett
and how wealthy I supposed he was. Was
at home all day and evening the day before
the robbery. In the evening J. d. Carson,
Mr.. Tuck and J. II. Frye of Newport were
there. Didn't see Whitney or Foster.
The court then adjourned.

LONDON, Aug. "a.
The St. James Gazette, commenting on
Cleveland's message, says: The position is
awkward and unpleasant for both countries.
The retaliation threatened is so illogical and
unreasonable that il is difficult to understand
the precise cause and meaning. Two plaus-
ibe explanations occur. 1t may have been
intended to influence votes or merely to bluff
Canada into granting American demands.
There is no doubt that the matter is serious
one for Canada. Not merely local affairs are
concerned, but the Imperial councils are also
involved. England must provide a proper
supply of safeguards for Canadian interests
We must await the next step. 1t is difficult
to suppose that the matter will be allowed to
end otherwise than in a perfectly friendly
manner.
The Globe says; Cleveland makes a
strong case against Canada and surmises that
Canada will doubtless be able to show equal
ly as good case. If the Canadians had re-
jected the treaty it would be easy to under
stand why Cleveland should ask for retalia-
ton. but we can't understand why Cleveland
generally is just the man who should punish
the Canadians for an act of the American
Senate. We ask if Cleveland has attempted
bid for the Irish vote.
The Star IT. p. Connor's paper says that
it has no fear of war over the matter and is
of the opinion that serious friction is certain
to result.

BUSINESS TROUBLES.
The Shatto & Dems Failure-A
Drug Store Schedule.

Drug Store Schedule.
A few weeks ago, c. W. Shatto, a
dealer in farm machinery, made an as
signment for the benefit of his creditors,
but few days later, upon application
of the jackson Wagon company" to
United States court in st. Paul, a re-
ceiver was appointed. This receiver,
Louis K. Hull, at once made appli-
cation for control of the assets, but
as these were in the hands of the dis
trict court through the assignee, John
l.. Sparks, the request was, of course,
refused. Upon seeking authority from
the United States court the receiver
was informed that according to law he
must establish his rights to the property
by suit against the assignee. Yes
terday the matter came up in
the district court before Judge
Lochren in the form OF a motion
for an order for the assignee to show
cause why the property should not be
conveyed to the receiver. The peculiar
legal spectacle is presented of areceiver
who has not received anything and can
not get hold of any property trying to
compel an assignee to give up what is
in his possession and at the same time
prevent him from securing control of
any more. Judge Lochren took the
matter under advisement.
A schedule of the assets and liabili-
ties of Patterson & Chilstrom, who have
been engaged in the drug business at
1901 Third avenue south, was filed yes
terday by the assignee. The assets
amount to IS, 95S.44 and the debts
amount to S1l,253.35. The principal
creditors are M. Thoney, Glencoe,
$1,000; Southern White Lead company,
St. Louis, $3.50; Noyes Bros. & Cut
Ter, st. Paul, S465; Chicago White Lead
and Oil company, Chicago, s7s2; Lyman
Eliel Drug company, S779.59. and North
western National bank, S365.17.
