other way, should be brought to the atten-
tion Of the grand jury and wherever indict-

ment of this law there should be hearty
cooperation on the part of district attorneys,
United States marshals and post office in

A Maine Doctor Falls Into Bad Com

pany ana SutrerSs
NEW YORK, October 2S.-A despatch from
Fredericton Junction, n. B., says: "a
Maine physician, DR.. A. NJ. McAlpin now
lies in critical condition here as the result
of a murderous attempt upon his life by
William Dewitt and George Kingston of
Glasier Boom. McAlpin was returning from
the West to his home in Caribou, Me-, but
was carried past and put off at Fredericton
Junction. he had been drinking and Sun
day night, Night Agent Matthews placed
him ON the western express and supposed he
was all right. Yesterday morning a Mrs.
Kelley heard means and on Investigation
found the doctor, who had been terribly
beaten about the head and face. His money,
S75, was gone. 1t appears that after Mat
thews left him on the train he got out to get
drink and was met by Dewitt and Kings
ton. They had several drinks together and
when they got on the highway one of them
struck McAlpin several times in the face,
knocking him down, and kicked him until
insensible. Then they robbed him. War
rants have been issued for their arrest, but
up to the present time they have not been
apprehended."

WAIT FOR CHESTNUT STREET
The Australian System OF Voting to
be Used by Or. Wnitaker's Church.

Tomorrow the members of Chestnut Street
Methodist Episcopal church in this city are
to cast their ballots In pursuance Of the gen.
eral plan Of ascertaining the opinion Of the
churches upon the question Of admitting
women delegates to the General Conference.
In anticipation of this, Rev. DIR. Whitaker.
pastor Of the church. read paper last even
ing before the members Of the church in
which he explained the objects OF the voting.
These objects were explained to the readers
Of the PRESS in an article published last
Friday morning 1t was hoped when 1t was
arranged that the vexed question should be
left to the churches, that they would take
such an interest as to leave no doubt as to
their sentiment. This would make the way
easy for the Annual Conference to settle the
question. But so far, as the returns to the
PRESS show, the Maine churches have not
manifested so great interest as would be
expected in question that involves the
whole woman suffrage issue, and that in
wolves settlement, so far as a great and
powerful religious body is concerned. If the
question whether there shall be difference
on account of sex in legislative members. In
the churches already heard from in Maine,
about ten in all, only abo1t quarter Of the
membership have voted. This is about the
ratio through the country also. The author
ities of the church are a little alarmed at this
apparent lack of interest, since the Annual
Conference, IL more decided interest be not
taken. may conclude that the opinion ex-
pressed Is not decisive enough to warrant
action. In such an event the contest Of the
last General Convention might be renewed
and carried on indefinitely. Such result
would be unfortunate. and the pastors have
been urged to arouse their people to the de-
STABILITY Of voting.
The Chestnut street church Is the largest
Methodist church in this city, having about
six hundred members, and its voting tc-
morrow promises to be interesting. AS be-
comes so progressive church, the voting is
to be by means Of an adaptation Of the Aus
tralian ballot system. The polls will open
at ten O'Clock in the forenoon and close at
four o'clock in the afternoon. The election.
officers will be the Pastor, Rev. N. T., Whit
aker, and Messrs Charles II. Baker and J.J.
Perry. In an anteroom Of the voting room
in the church is to be placed a table, and
upon this table are to be pile Of plain en-
yelopes, and two bundles of ballots. One

RocKLAND. October 2s.-British schooner
Herald, Capt. Eli Trehan, Shelbourne, Nova
Scotia. from Salmon river, arrived today and
reports that this morning at 10 o'clock as she
was entering Deer Isle thoroughfare, a
sloop boat about Il feet long. apparently Ia
loosterm an, with one man aboard. came no
and tried to cross the bow Of the Herald.
Failing to do so the boat luffed and fell
astern but the sails Of the schooner took
the wind out of her sails aud she lost head
way and fOuled the Herald's main boom.
Capt. Trehan was at the wheel and imme-
diately luffed. but the sloop was carried un-
der and sunk with her occupant. The Her
aid was close TO the lodges and could not
come about without going ashore. but an
other lobster boat which was a short dis
tance away and had seen the accident, hast
ened at once to the spot. The man was UNI
doubtedly drowned as Capt. Trehan states
that the effort made to recover him was un-
successful.
No description could be given Of him be-
yond the fact that he was quite an aged
man. He acted very strangely as he made
no effort TO save himself which he could easi-
ly have done by drawing himself aboard by
means OF the schooner's sheet. which was
close to him.

NEW YORK. October 2S.-Upon the appli-

this city. Judge Lacombe in the United
States District Court today granted an order
requiring the customs appraisers to produce
the records and papers in their possession
regarding the appraisement made upon GER
tain cloths the firm imported. The firm al
lege that they entered at the port of New
York certain manufactures of worsted which
arrived here July 10. 1890. The collector ad-
Judged the consignment dutiaole at 35 cents
3 pound and 35 per cent ad valorem. The
appraisers ond the Secretary of the Treasury
sustained the collectors decision. Among z
other things the plaintiffs contend the act Of
May 3. 1890, entitled an act to provide for the
classification of worsted cloths as woolens,
does not apply because the act was not
passed according to law. No quorum was in
the House when the bill was certified to have
been passed. They allege the bill was not
legally enacted, and was declared passed by
the Speaker of the House of Representatives
when 1t had not been.
