LEWIS CHAPMAN ARRESTED.
He Deserted His Family In Lewiston
Three Months Ago.

BosToN, Mass, June 16.-Tnree months
ago, Lewis c. Chapman, painter of Lewis
ton, Me-, deserted his home, leaving wife
and three children behind him. A woman
was the cause of the unhappiness that fol-
lowed his departure, for the little family had
always lived happily together, and the
father seemed devotedly attached to his wife
and little ones, and in leaving them as he did,
he brought trouble and misery down upon
them. The woman in the case was one
Lenith Eldredge, a handsome blonde Of
about 20. She was a frequent caller at the
Chapman house, but one day she left Lewis
ton very suddenly, and shortly after Chap
man left town, leaving no clue as to his des-
tination.
For long time Mrs. Chapman did nothing
about hunting for her husband, but finally,
by the advice of friends and through some
information she received, she, accompanied
by Rev. Mr.. LeClair of Waterville, came to
Boston and succeeded in locating Chapman,
whom she one day visited, and found him
living with the Eldredge girl, who, when
asked her name, said it was Mrs Chapman.
Officer Felt of Division was put in charge
of the case, and yesterday morning arres ted
both Chapman and Miss Eldredge.

BRUISED AND BLEEDING.
Hurled to the Floor with His Arm
Broken and Lacerated.
Yens Mortsnsen Injured at the Eagle
Sugar Refinery.

At shortly before two O'Clock this morning
one Of the men at work in the Eagle Sugar
Refinery on Fore street. happened to look
across the room. At the same moment, YeDs
Mortensen, another employe, was caught In
the machinery. and his Mortified fellow en-
ploye saw the young man thrown violently
to the floor. A moment later and the whirr
Of the rapidly moving machinery had ceased
and the employees were gathered around the
bruised and bleeding form Of their fellow
workman. DIR. Moulton was at once called,
and was soon on the ground. He saw that
the young mans injuries were serious, and
sent for Dr. Gerrish to Join him in the exam
inatlon. AS result of the hasty examina-
ton he made while awaiting DR.. Gerrish's
arrival, DIR. Moulton stated that he found
Mortensen's right arm broken, and the flesh
above the elbow torn from the bone.
Mortensen, when he met with the accident
was about to loosen The sugar from the sides
OF the pan in the centrifugal machine. This
consists of a brass pan about two feet In d.
ameter set In an iron frame aud revolved at
the rate Of 1900 revolutions a minute. In
loosening the sugar, which collects on the
sides Of the pan, the machine is stopped and
the workman uses small wooden scoop,
placing his arm inside the pan, Of course, as
he works. Mortensen, as was supposed, lad
stopped the pan at which he was at work. A
man at a pan near by said that he thought
Mortensen's machine bad stopped all right,
but under the glare Of the gas the brass
pan making 1900 revolutions to the
minutes looks If it was perfectly motionless.
The workmen by placing their fingers on the
outside of the pan can tell whether or not it
has stopped, but this morning MOrten-
sen did not do this, evidently,
and when he showed his arm into the ma
chinery it was still in motion. 1t caught the
the young man and threw him to the floor
between 1t and the next machine.
Mortensen is the son of Martin G. Morten-
sen, who lives on Franklin street. 1t was
stated by one of the othermen at the refinery
that Mortensen had been warned about
using care in stopping the centrifugals, and
had once before met with an accident Just
how he failed to stop the machine is not
known.
Mortensen was afterwards removed to the
Maine General Hospital. His injuries will
not be likely to be fatal.

Using Lines.

The lime is far more juicy than the lemon,
aud furnishes delicious acid flavor wher-
ever 1t is used, and is far more agreeable to
some palates than our vinegar. Lime juice
makes delightful salad acid. This acid Is
used in the East India chutney and gives
them their peculiar flavor. Lines are an
excellent accompaniment Of fish, and may be
utilized as a pleasant change in any fish
sauces where lemons are generally used. A
drink which Is very refreshing to invalids Is
made from lime juice and sugar.
A preserve Of lines is favorite delieacy
in England and elsewhere. 1t Is made as
follows: Weigh the lines and set aside
double their weight in sugar. Boil them
whole, unless they are large, in two or three
waters, until they are tender enough 70 ,oS oe

DUNBAR, Pa, June 17.-Fifty-two miners
were in the mines when the explosion occur
red. Of these Is escaped. The mine had
been troubled with water, and an air shaft
had been drilled from the surface to juno
tion of the right and left shafts where the
water was most abundant. A miner at work
near the shaft broke into it, and the water
gushed out. He yelled for some one to save
the men in the right drift. AS the water
poured down in streams he feared they
would drown. kYoung David Hays leaped
forward at the call and turned down the left
drift in deluge of water to warn the men
below. Just as he passed across the shaft
the flow of water changed to fire damp. The
youth carried an open, burning lamp in his
hat and had hardly taken step beyond the
shaft when the spark lgnited the damp and
he sank corpse ten feet toward the men he
hoped to save.
In an instant the fire sprang up in the nine
foot vein between the main entrance aud the
right drift shutting off the men there. David
Hays, father of the mistaken hero, driven
mad by the fate of his son. dashed into the
smoke and strangling fire damp to fall by the
side of the boy. The fire. famed by the air
from the main drift and from the shaft itself
soon sprang into an awful confagration
The miners from the left drift escaped

100 found the right drift impenetrable. No

WASHINGTON, ID. O., June IA, 1890.
Daniel A. C0ny, Esq, AUGUSTA, Me-:
My Dear Slr:-I have your favor Of the 11th
inst. You are In error In supp0sing that am Op-
posed TO sugar being admitted free OF duty. MY
objection Is not 70 free sugar but to the proposed
mode OF making it free. II, In the pending tartn
bill, sugar Is placed upon the free list, give to
certain countries free market for sos, ,OO0, 600
Of their products, while they are not asked to
open their markets 10 the free admission Of a sin
gle dollar of American products. We ought TO
have, In exchange for free sugar, from certain
countries, free market for breadstuffs and pro
Visions besides various fabrics from all parts OF
our country. In short. we ought TO secure, In re-
turn Tor free sugar, a market Tor $50, 600 600 or
sTO,0OO.OOO worth OF our products. IL VIII not
require reciprocity treaties TO secure this great
boon. The tarin bill can contain all the neeessa-
ry conditions. The legislative power Is ample TO
secure the desired end.
Within the last twenty years we have given the
countries south OF US free admission for nearly
So, ,0OO,uO0 worth Of their products. without re-
ceiV1ng penny 3 advantage IN exchange. II su-
gar be now made uncOnditionally free, we shall
have given to the Latin-American countries free
admission for sl50,0O0,0uO OF their products. 10
is time, think, to look out for some reciprocal
advantages. We are very rich nation, but not
rich enough to trade on this unequal basis.
