MAINE POLITICS.
Somerset County Republicans Or
ganIze a Home Market Club.

The Monson State hints that the change
in the proprietorship of the Piscataquis OBJ
server was occasioned by opposition to the
course the paper took in supporting Mr..

BATHS SPECIAL coNsrAsLEs.
One to be Investigated and the 9th
er Tired of the Business.
Especial to the Press,l


BATH, Feb. 16.-The trial of Hart. who, it
is alleged, was maltreated by State Consta-
BILE Mcdonald, in arresting him for drunken
ness Tuesday, has been postponed until Sat-
urday morning, when it is expected the tes-
timony will be confined to Hart's condition
as regards intoxication when the arrest was
made and counsel will ask an investigation
of the affair by the city government.
Mayor Wakefield was seen by your CORES
pondent tonight, and said: "The conduct of
Constable Mcdonald, after securing the man,
was brutal and extreme, and if the city gov
ernment are satisfied of this after a full in
vestigatiDn, they will ask the Governor and
Council for his removal. The course Of the
constables here has been such as to throw
the. whole constabulary into contempt. The
cause of temperance could be better served by
the police if the temperance men were only
honest and would make complaints. State
constables must confne themselves to search
warrants for liquor in Bath, and they can
not knock men down or arrest them for
drunkenness"
1t is rumored that Constable Whitlock has
concluded to do no further service, and has
opened his fish market, so Mr.. Wakefield
further stated.

STAINS ALlBi.
Further Dvidence that He Could Not
Have Murdered Barron.

BosToN, Feb. 16.-A special despatch to
the Boston Record this afternoon from Med
field, Mass, says that another startling de-
velopment in regard to the robbery of the
Dexter bank and the murder of Cashier Bar
ron has just come to light in that town, and
if the evidence discovered shall prove true
David L. Stain. now under arrest, will have
no trouble in proving an alibi.
Stain was a resident of Medfeld February
%, 1878, the day of the murder, and was a
member of the local fire engine company. j.
II. Baker, well known resident of Medfeld,
has for many years been clerk of the engine
company, and has kept record of all of its
meetings. He has discovered that on the
evening of February %, 1873, a meeting of
the company was held at Stains house and
that Stain was present. A record was made
at the time of the meeting and it is claimed
that these facts are absolutely correct.
Stains presence at the meeting was not in
consistent with the published statement Of
Mr.. Fowler, that Stain helped him to drive
sheep in the town of Foxboro on the same
day. Stains counsel have been advised of
this new evidence.

this the reason that people use the express
