UNDER ARREST FOR PERJURY.
Michael FInnegan Bound over to the
 Superior Court.

Michael EInnekan bOunu over 10 Cne
 Superior Court.
 Maurice Sullivan appeared in the police court this morning and pleaded guilty to assaulting John Kelly on the night of July 9. It will be remembered that Charles Marsella was arrested for the offence, and fined $7 and costs, from which decision he took an appeal. When Sullivan heard of the conviction of Mar sella, who was innocent, he went to Prosecuting Attorney Burpee and said that he was the guilty party. It appears that he had been shaking dice with Kelley in Woods saloon on Scovill street. Kelly was ''stuck" but refused to pay for the drinks. This led to an argument after the men left the saloon, and Sullivan gave Kelly push. He fell and received bad cut on the head. He was led to believe that Marsella assault ed him and caused the latter'S arrest Judge Bradstreet ordered the judgment against Marsella erased and continued the case against Sullivan for thirty days.
 After the above case had been dis posed of, Michael Finnegan, who con ducts a saloon at 40 Scovill street, was charged with committing perjury. At the trial of Marsella, Finnegan swore he knew nothing of the case and his testi- mony was very unsatisfactory. From the testimony of other witnesses this morning the prosecuting attorney came to the conclusion that Finnegan knew all about the case and perjured himself to shield Sullivan. Finnegan knew nothing of the charge hanging over his head until he was called upon in court. Judge Bradstreet found probable cause to bind him over to the superior court under bonds of $500.
 Stephen Block, Andrew O'Toole and Chris Miller, the boys who "kicked" the brakes on a number of freight cars of the Meriden, Waterbury & Connecticut River road, that were sidetracked near the Liberty street crossing, last Monday afternoon, almost causing a disastrous wreck, were sharply reprimanded by Judge Bradstreet, and the cases against them continued for thirty days.
 George Belmont, an Italian, pleaded guilty to breaking the arm of fellow countryman hy striking him with a stick. From the testimony it was evi- dent that Belmont did not intend to seriously injure his victim, with whom he got into an argument over payment of $3 due Belmont by the other. Upon Belmont's promise to pay the doctors bill the case was continued thirty days.
 Bartholomew Doyle was brought in drunk Saturday night, for the second time this month. He was fined $10 and costs.

Malpractice Allered.

NEW HAVEN, July 21.-The funeral of Ernest c. Walters, the 15-year-old son of Policeman James w. Walters, took place this afternoon from the home of his parents No 51O Howard avenue. Young Walters is the boy whose death was caused by lockjaw, the result of a wound he received while firing a. cannon the Fourth of July The boy death and the alleged un- skillful treatment of the case by Dr TaI- madge has attracted considerable com ment. The doctor was at first censured on all sides but the developments at the last day or two would seem to indicate that he treated the case as skillfully as any physician. The parents of the lad are nearly crazy with grief, and the in vestigation of Coroner Mix was made at the request of the father of the boy. In view of the coroner's decision it is be- heved that the matter will end where it is, though civil suit is not at all inn probable

Woman's Exchange.

We doubt very much whether the ladies
Of Portland fully understand this conven-
lent, and one may say delightful work, estab-
lished at 119 Winter street. All Portland
people-and indeed orders have come from
out of town-are invited to patronize the es-
tablishment. Delicious home cooking is
here done to order. Small quantities Of
cake are kept on hand, but larger orders
must be given at least day in advance.
The prices are much less than those at the
Woman's Exchange in New York, though Of
course, one cannot obtain delicacies of home
manufacture, from the hands OF ladies Of
experience In culinary arts, without paying
fair price for the same.
Here may be had croquettes, salads, es-
calloped oysters, preserves, pickles. cake,
candies. sailed nuts, miDce meat, Bavarian
creams. rolls, sandwiches. jellies, charlotte
russo, doughnuts and plum pudding. Inc
majority Of these articles are made by the
ladies In charge, at their home 119 Winter
street, but some are supplied by persons out
side and sold on commission. The idea OF
the Exchange is, of course, to assist ladies'
who wish to make and sell articles OF home
manufacture by making this headquarters
fol- the sales.
Last Friday and Saturday were sample
days." where one could purchase In small
quantities. The viands we're most tempting
and we advise ladies who wish variety on
their table or who have unexpected guests or
for numberless other reasons may wish to
secure either substantial articles or dainties
made by home hands to give their orders to
the Woman's Exchange.

Suffcrings Believed

On Head, = Face and Neck-A ChiId,s
sufferings Believed
The following is from a well known Lowell
merchant, and u.s. like all our testimonials, per.
ectly truthful and reliable. Salt rheum is a well
known disease Of the blood, and Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla Is the best blood purifier.
"When my little boy was only a few months
old, eczema, or salt rheum, appeared on his face,
head and neck. 1t also came out on his body, but
not so severe as on and about his head. Blotches
and pimples would come out thlckly, break and
discharge thin watery fluid, and then scales
would form.
1T ITCHED INTENSELY,
and caused the poor little fellow a great deal Of
suffering for nearly five years. In that time we
consulted several of the leading physicians but
he did not seem to get any better. Then, about
year ago. we decided to give him Hoods Sarsa
parilla, and as the result of fair trial ne Is now
entirely well, his skin being smooth and fair as
can be. We also used Hoods Olive Ointment and
found 1t excellent as an outward application
To Hoods Sarsaparilla and Ointment we attribute
wholly the improved condition of our boy" NJ
