pIed Among strangers.


An italian boy, aged about IA years, named
francesca di Michele, died at Bar Harbor
last Friday, the circumstances of which
were sad indeed. 1t seems that one Giuseppe
Rizzalo, who las been about Ellsworth and
Bar Harbor for several years past, visited
Italy year or so ago, and returned last
spring, bringing the above named lad with
him. During the past summer they worked
together at Bar Harbor as partners, black
ing boots. Last fall Rizzalo decamped, and
is said to have returned to Italy, carrying
with him the entire savings Of both and
leaving the young lad, who of course had
only acquired limited knowledge of En-
glish, alone and penniless among strangers.
Being bright and intelligent he managed to
get along fairly well, until about two weeks
ago, when be was suddenly taken with vio-
lent illness which rendered him totally una
BILE to help himself. In this condition he
was found by the officers OF the Bar Harhol
ferry boat, who had before assisted. him In
many ways. These gentlemen Immediately
took charge Of the little fellow, and did
everything in their power to aid him In his
distress. ~, They procured doctors, who,
however, were unable to check the progress
of the disease, and he died as above stated
An officer of the ferry boat says that the
boy had a small sum Of money which they
wish to send to his relatives in Italy, and
Lewis Bernardini of this city has written tt
the officials at Calabretto, from which place
the boy is supposed to have come. inquirine
into the matter.

THE BEST CASE.
Judge Webb Holds the Case Under
Amusement.

The hearing on the writ 10 habeas corpus
filed by Nathan and Henry B. Cleaves as
counsel In behalf of Best was continued be-
fore Judge Webb in the Circuit Court yester-
day morning.
The high sheriff of Charlotte county with
his deputy who are here to take Best to New
Brunswick sat within the bar, showing great
interest in the proceedings during the con-
tinuance Of the argument of Hon. Henry b.
Cleaves in opposition ito the surrender of
Best to the British authorities. Mr.. Ceaves
made an able and very strong argument in
behalf Of the accused. He commended that it
was private prosecution. instituted by
private citizen Of New Brunswick. and that
there was no word In the record of the pro-
ceedings had before tile U. S. Commissioner,
showing that 1t bad the sanction Of the exec
utive authorities of New Brunswick; that
treaties between the two governments did
not contemplate giving the authority to a
private citizen Of foreign government to set
the judicial wheels OF our government in
motion upon his own authority, but
| that the government which had the
treaty right to the return of the fugitive must
be the active promoter of the proceedings
and 1t must so appear by the record Mr.
Cleaves claimed that it being shown by the
record that there was no authority for the
complainant to institute the prosecution, the
commissioner acquired no jurisdiction and
the accused was entitled to his discharge.
Mr.. Cleaves further argued, that even IL the
commissioner had jurisdiction there was no
legal evidence before him to justify the COM
initial OF Best. The testimony shows that
there was no malice ON the part of the &C
cused, according to the definition of that
term, that the shooting was the result of a
sudden collision between the parties, the in
jured party being the aggressor; that the
shot was fired in the heat of passion. The
evidence shows that WIN. j. Best
did not FIRE at Edward M. Batson
with an intent, feloniously and of malice
aforethought to kill and murder. An assault
was made upon Best, an unprovoked assault
