ACCUSED OF LARCENY.
Eugene Goodwin, the Stable Keeper,
Arraigned In Court and Bound
Over

0ters
Eugene Goodwin, the well known stable
keeper on Green street bought before the
municipal court yesterday on charge of the
larceny of seven hundred dollars from Henry
Z. Fernald of Bartlett. N. II.
The story told by Fernald is that lately he
sold piece of land in Bartlett. N. H., for
$1,000. He received $500 in money and 500
In checks on Portland bank. He came to
Portland several days ago to get the checks
cashed He went to John L. Best, to get
him to go to the bank with him, for the pur-
pose of identifying him. Mr.. Best could not
go but requested Mr.. Goodwin, who was
there at the time to 60 in his place. Fernald
had with him man named Thurston. Of
Windham. Goodwin took Fernald and
Thurston in his wagon and drove to the
Canal bank. Arriving there Goodwin took
the checks, which were endorsed, and told
Fernald there was no need for him to go into
the bank. Goodwin went in, but when he
came out said that he couldn't get the money
until the next morning. Upon that Fernald
and Thurston were taken to the Portland
House and put to bed to sleep off the effects
OF liquor which they had taken. In the
morning Fernald found he did not have the
money nor the checks. He went to Good
wins house, but Goodwin had gone to Bos-
ton. He waited until Goodwin returned and
then caused his arrest on charge of larceny
Goodwin admits that he got the checks
cashed. When he came out of the bank he
says Fernald and Thurston were both so
drunk that he thought it best not TO give
them the money. He started to drive them
to the Portland House, for the purpose of
getting them taken care of. On the way
Fernald clamored for the money and Good
win finally gave it to him. Fernald and
Thurston then had quarrel as to which was
the soberer and which was better able to
take care of the money. Goodwin claims
that he has no further knowledge of where
the money went.
In court Hon. j. w. Symonds, of Symonds
d Libby, and Mr.. |. w. Par Ter appeared for
Goodwin. He waived hearing and was
bound over in the sum of 1880. John l..
Best and ID. E. Mccain furnished bail for
him. The witnesses in the case were also
bound over in the sum of $500 EACH

On a Charge of Assault With intent
TO Kill.

Deputy United States Marshal Andrews
arrived nome from Eastport yesterday morn
ing, having in charge William j. Best Of
Campobello, on a complaint Of j. g. Stevens
who charges him with an assault with intent
to kill Edward NJ. Batson at Campobello
about two weeks ago.
Best was taken before United States Com
missioner Rand-who is specially empower
ed to act in extradition INTERCHANGEABLE
ly on their arrival. and a hearing was COM
menced to see whether the request of the
Dominion government that he be extradited
should be complied with. 1t appeared from
the evidence presented by the prosecution
that George Batson keeps a grocery and
liquor store at Campobello. and when the
quarrel occurred he had left his brother, Ed
ward M. Batson, to keep store. Best and
George Batson were not on good terms. the
trouble growing out of a political difference
OF opinion. On this occasion Best came to
the store, got drink and treated his friends.
This much the defence admits. The Bat
sons then allege that after Best went out of
the store he attempted to come back. and
Edward tried to keep him out, being afraid
OF him, and when he tried to shut the door
In Best's face the latter fired. the bullet
crashing through the glass In the door, strik-
ing Edward in the face, and passing out in
front of the right ear. 1t is understood that
the defence will be conducted on the ground

A despatch from Eastport says: "After

shore he found that Batson's friends had got
there ahead of him and were talking of
lynching him, so he Immediately directed
his course towards PASSPORT. but was fsllow-

shots at him while in American waters. The
attack was SO violent that he put into East

OF the prominent government officials at

for the offence hehad committed. but he af-
forwards retained legal counsel. who told
him that under the existing treaty he could
be arrested for attempt to kill, and was adj

What Mrs. A. m. rhayer Of Florence,
Mass, Has To Say About Her Mys-
terIous Restoration to HeaIth-An-
other of Drs. Smith and McMuIIen's
Wonderful Cures.

Mrs. A. M. Thayer Of Florence, Mass, suffered
16 long years from that dread disease, rheumat.
ism. She was first taken with the measles they
did not me out properly, and typhoid fever set
IN and left her with infammatory rheumatism of
the worst kind in the left leg. She had running
sore on the leg for year, then the other leg filed
up with dropsy, and soon rheumatism came i'm
that one. Tho first leg she suffered from has al
ways been bloated. In fact, both of them at
times have been bloated to the body Mrs.
Thayer was confined to her bed three months at
time, and during all these years she suffered un-
told agonies. For Il years she ould not take a
drink of cool water without making her deathly
sick. When she applied to Drs. Smith and Nc
Mullen, the magnetic physicians at the U. s.
HOTEL for treatment, she was sight to behold.
She was suffering intense pain, and the leg was
blosted to the hip. Mrs. Thayer received one
treatment and walked with her husband all about
the city free from pain. In all, she received six
treatments, and is now after all these years of
suffering well woman. Mrs. Thayer said she
could feel herself getting well under the strong
magnetic touch of Drs Smith and McMulen.
This is only one among the many remai kable
cares constantly being made by these truly wen
derful physicians, Drs. Smith and McMullen,
treat all forms OF chronic diseases. No matter
what you are suffering from, call on them. If
you are not durable you will be told so. If not,
you will be given to understand so at once.
Drs. Smith and McMullen are permanently
located at the United States Hotel, and can be
consulted free from a. m. to o p. m.
