His Mother Completely Cast Down
at the Unexpected Result.
A Motion for New Trial Probably
to be Made Soon.

AUGUSTA. April 1s.-The Beal trial is
ended. The judge charged the jury this af-
ternoon. The charge occupied one and
three-quarters hours. lie reviewed the
direct testimony, principally that Of the
prosecution, and was listened to by vast
crowd. The case was given to the jury at
o'clock and the jury were out until 61O,
when they came in and the prisoner was
placed in the dock. In answer to the usual
questions. the foreman Of the jury an
swered: "Guilty of murder in the first de-
gree"
The verdict produced decided sensation
in the court room. 1t is generally thought
that the evidence does not sustain il. Prob
ably motion for new trial will be made
in few days. by arrangement with the gov
ernment. The prisoner never finched at
the verdict, and maintained his composure
until being taken back to the jail, then he
broke down and had to be supported. His
mother was completely cast down and wept,

brother showed no feeling The court ad-

The Forenoon's Proceedings.
AUGUSTA, April 1S.-At the opening OF the
court this morning the attorney general re-
sumed his plea. He took up the discussion
of the relations between father and SON.
Though it was impossible to get at the real
attitude of the prisoners mind, he said, yet
many facts-even statements-show that
there were strained relations between the
two He referred to the time when the
father was intoxicated and the boy spoke OF
him not with pity as would be expected but
called him an old fool. There were only
three who had an opportunity to do the deed,
and only the prisoner who had any motive.
The flask Charles took to Browns stable had
been found, was in the court room, and 1t
held pure strychnine. The prisoner had this
poison before his fathers death. He told OF
this because he thought at the time it would
be of advantage to him. Would he have
stopped to look at the bottle before drinking
if he had been innocent.
The attorney general then el0quently sus-
tanned the testimony of Carver and McMan-
us, and held that the language used by the
boy in the drug store fitted the case. The
boy had Strychnine in his possession before
the death of his father. His father died OF
strychnine. The father was poisoned with q
motive and the prisoner was the one who
had the motive.
The plea was eloquent throughout and
lasted till II O'Clock, when the court ad-
journed till afternoon.

As Friend and Opponent.

AUGsUTA, Me-, April IS - Honorable Jo-
seph II. Manley, chairman of the Republican
State committee, touching the death of Mr..
Conkling, said:
'sI regard the death of Roscoe Conkling as
a great loss to the country. He was unques-
tionably one of the foremost lawyers in the
land. As an orator he had few equals, and
pearance, and always courteoug and Gracious
In his bearing. He attached to himself strong
friendships. He was warm friend and an
open opponent"
SIN the event of Mr.. Blaine receiving the
nomination for the presidency, do you think
this would have any effect on the vote9"
'.No, do not. Mr.. Conkling was good
Republican, and have every reason to think
he would have given the Republican ticket
his support whoever might be nominated;
He did not like Mr. Blaine very Well, but 1
never heard of an unkind remark he ever
made about him."

Resolved, That we appeal to the honorable

eminent commission thoroughly investigated the
subject of our fishery relations with Canada, ana
whose report has passed through the legislation
of both houses of Congress, and been unanimous
ly approved, to sustain the honor and dignity OF

our citizens by refusing to approve the treaty
that consents TO so complete surrender OF our

Resolved. That as the entire fishing interest OF
the United States has not been allowed any re
presentation whatever by the negotiators of this
treaty while the commission of the Senate visited
every location and obtained sworn testimony
from the operative fishermen of the country, the
reason for the difference in results Is clearly ap-

Resolved, That we respectfully ask for prompt
and immediate action upon this treaty by the
honorable Senate in order that our national honor
may be vindicated and the rights of our citizens
assured, in every foreign port and upon the high

BATES COLLEGE, Lewiston, April 1S.-lt
has not yet been decided whether Bates will
put nine into the field or not. The college
has been waiting for the result of the meet
ing of college managers which takes place
at Colby today. One of the matters under
discussion there affects Bates College very
materially, and on the report that is brought
back from that meeting will depend very
much the course of action which Bates will
take. To complete her nine Bates needs very
much the services of Wilson, of Nichols's
Latin School, and the proposition was to be
made at Waterville today that Bates would
come in if he should be allowed to play; 9th
erwise not. If this is granted Bates will
probably put good team in the field, though
the men have not been selected or assigned
to places. Still 1.-THE men from whom the
nine will be selected are hard at work IL the

the Insane Hospital, fills the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Mr.. Manley MIR. Man.
ley rendered his resignation as a trustee Of
the Hospital in letter dated December 81,

nation, and after the adjournment of the
legislature Mr.. Manley occasionally acted
with the trustees. Governor Marble few
weeks ago, had consultation with Mr..
Manley in reference to his status as trus-
tee. The Governor then raised the question
that his acceptance of the office of repre-
sentative was in itself resignation as trus-
tee, and he offered to submit the case to the
attorney general for his decision Mr.. Man.
ley would not consent to this, and informed
the Governor that he had never drawn COM
pensation as trustee since December 31st,
1886; that he was satisfied, upon his atten-
tion being called to decision of the court,
that his acceptance of the office of represent
alive was in it itself resignation of the Of
