Wills HOWARD In JAIL.

Tho Notorious Desperate Traced to a
California PenitentInry.
According to letter just received from
Detective lmboden of Missouri, Wills How
ard. the famous Harlan County desperate,
Is out of harms way for while at least.
Imboden states that after Towards flight
from Kentucky, little more than year ago,
he followed him up in order to arrest and
bring him to trial in Missouri on the charge
OF numbering deaf-mute in that State two
years ago. He finally traied him to Cali
fornia, to which State he recently went after
him, only to find that he had been sentenced
to the penitentiary, under the name of John
Brooks, for term of eight years for rob-
bling the Wells Fargo EXPRESS Company.
The Governor wants Governor Buckner of
Kentucky to join the Governor of Missouri
in requesting the return of Howard to Ken
lucky or Missouri, in both of which States
he is wanted for murder. Governor Buck
ner, however, will probably take no action,
as he thinks eight years in the California
Penltentiary may tire the biood-thirsty
spirit Of Wills. Alter his term is out he can
be arrested and brought back here.
VIII Jennings, the partner of Howard in
dozen or so murders in the Harlan County
feud, has just been sentenced to imprison-
ment for life in this State. Howard was
arrested at the time Jennings was, but got
away from the officers.-Louisville (ky.),

TWILIGHT.

When was young the twilight seemed too long.
So Ow often on the western window-seat
~ l leaned my book against the misty
~. And spelled the last enchanting lines
again
The while my mother hummed an ancient song
Or sighed a little and said, The hour is sweet"
When i, rebeiious, clamored Tor the light.
But now love the soft approach of night,
Aud new with folded hands l sit and DREAM
While all too feet the hours OF twilight seem;
And thus know that am growing old.
granaries OF agei manifold
And royal harvest Of the common years!
There are in all their treasure-house no ways
But lead by soft descent aud gradual slope
To memories more exquisite than hope.
Thine is the Iris born or oiden tears,
And thri.e more happy are the happy days
That 1--we diyncly IN thy lingering rays.
So autumn roses bear a loyelier flower;
So, In the emerald after sunset hour,
The orchard wall and trembling aspen trees
Appear an ninite Hesperides.
Aye as at dusk we sit with folded hands,
w no knows, who cares in what enchanted lands
We wander while the undying memories throng?
When was young the twilight seemed too long

RoCKLAND, October 6.-The schooner
Wide Awake, hailing from this port met
with quite serious accident last week while
lying at wharf in Blue Hill. She was tax
ing load of stone, and a car load of the
material was standing on the track a short
distance away. In some way it got started
and large piece of granite becoming dis
engaged fell on the deck crashing through
it, killing an OK and breaking the leg of a
man who was at work in the hold.
Schooner Crusoe Of Machias, Leighton
master, bound from Millbridge to Boston
with lumber, ran onto Widows lest week,
starting her stern post and badly scraping
the bottom. The deck load was thrown off
and she came here where she was hauled out
on the South marine railway for repairs
She was launched Saturday and returned to
Widows Island and the load again taken
aboard.
The new management of the Penobscot
Shore Line have begun work here in earnest.
The depot is being enlarged and other
changes are to be made as soon as possible.
In Thomaston a large field has been bought
and it is understood that large new depot
will be erected.
Rockland was visited by burglars some
time last night. They entered the house of
Octave, P. Howard on Holmes street, going
through every room; They must have been
about famished. The pantry, containing a
large amount of food, was cleaned out
thoroughly. They entered Mr. Howard's
room where they secured an overcoat, coat
and cigars, narrowly missing fifty dollars in
money. Entrance was effected through a
rear window where a screen was cut out.
There is no clue though Sheriff Irish, who
was summoned, entertains no ye of their ap-
pTehension. The affair has created much
excitement and alarm

Arguments in the Norton Murder
Case To Be Made Today.

BANGOR, October 6 6-Henry j. Lord was
arrested today for forging the name of l.. S.
Church, local business man, to checks
which he had been using in paying for
goods. The forgeries only amounted to $S3
and Lord confessed to the police. He will
be arraigped in the Municipal court tomor
row.
Howard Brewster of Crystal plantation,
has confessed that he burned the house of
George Hackett in the night time, crime
for which his brother and Bert Ryder, two
young men of the town, have been confined
two months without bail, awaiting trial.
PENNINGTON, October 6.-The trial of
young Charles Stain and Thomas A. Pack
ard came to an abrupt close this afternoon.
The evidence failed to connect them with
the robbery. and Judge Emery ordered the
case mol pressed. The two men were, how
ever, at once arrested on a requisition from
Kennebec county, and they will be taken to
Augusta tomorrow morning to be tried on
two indictments against them for larceny.
SKowHEGAN, October G. = The defence
closed its testimony in the Norton case to-
day, by the deposition of DR.. rarbell, who
testified in regard to the condition of Mrs.
Cooley in 1886. The fact that Norton did
not take the stand rendered large amount
of testimony inadmissible and unnecessary,
which the government had for rehuttal. The
arguments Will be made tomorrow, and will
probably occupy the entire day.
The testimony as to the suicidal mania or
insanity of Mrs. Cooley is conspicuous only
by its absence. There is nothing to base
such theory upon, and now that Norton is
not to take the stand it is difficult to see what
the defence has to rely upon.

in the Biddeford manslaughter case before
the Supreme Court at Alfred was put in this
afternoon and the case will go to the jury to-
morrow forenoon. At the trial today five
witnesses testified on behalf of the prosecu-
ti0n and eight in the prisoners defense. The
evidence of the prosecution was to,the effect
that William Minnehan, while drunk, August
3, took four children out in a boat, and while
short distance from shore, held his young
est daughter, Mary, over the side of the boat
to frighten her and let her fall in,
afterwards jumping in himself and barely
escaping drowning. Two witnesses testified
that Minnehan admitted, after he had recov-
cred consciousness, that he was unintention-
ally the cause of his child's death. The de-
fence was that the child sat too far away
from the father for him to lift her ever the
side of the boat, and that she fell in while
bailing the boat. The prisoner testified that
he was thoroughly intoxicated, did not re-
alize what was going on, and does not today
remember single thing connected with the
drowning of the child.
