Canning Business in Florida.

The Orlando Record OF last Friday con

reference to the canning industry in
Maryland, and the prospects for the bus
mess in this State He says
We have thousands of farmers here in
Maryland who plant their crops for This
[canning] purpose alone. They can their
own crop. and perhaps in addition vii.
buy that Of thier neighbors, and, lat the
close of the season, have thousand or
two dollars to add to the profits of the
farm account. Because he Southern
trucker has already realized a profit is no
reason why he should abandon his sur
plus. 1t would give employment to num-
bers OF persons during the canning sea-
son. This is unquestionably the most i'm
portant industry in Maryland to-day,
particularly when considering the I'M
mense force of workers it employees, the
labor employed is composed largely OF
Bohemians, who are very hard working
people. They all work-men, women, boys
and girls. There can emo more interest

THE sAaTELLE CASE
Was the Murder Committed In Maine
or New Hampshire


Dover, N. H., Aug. 25.-on Wednes-
day, September 8, the famous Sawtells
oase will come up again, when the
grand jury of STAFFORD County will be
asked to find an indictment against
Isaac 3. Sawtelle for the murder OF his
brother Hiram.
It is said that a mass of strong evil
denee has been secured to prove that
the crime was committed in New Halnp
shire and not in Maine. This question
of jurisdiction is conceded to be the
most important to be considered by tine
grand Jury and its decision will be of
vital Importance to Sawteile, since con-
yiction in New Hampshire means death,
while in Maine the extreme punish
ment for murder is life imprison ment.
A new link in the chain of evidence,
which indicates beyond a doubt that
the crime was committed in New
Hampshire, was recently discovered.
Ii establishes the fact that the fatal
shots were fred in yard on the road
from Rochester to East Rochester, not
on the road as was generally supposed.
1t is said that the shots were fired not
over 200 feet from the highway, in the
area where a barn and adjoining car
rage sheds form an angle. When the
carriage wes driven into this yard it
was more or less secluded from passers-
by in the road, but not entirely hidden,
the back being visible from the street.
Here is what the prosecution will
allege:
/. B. Sawtelle had noticed the stable
while on his journeys to Lebanon, Me-,
from Rochester, n. H., and return on
the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
previous to Hiram's arrival. Isaac OBJ
served that there was not house with
in three. sixteenths of a mile o. the
stable, and that the road was not much
traversed.
1t is further said that the State has
evidence to show that Isaac was seen
with man answering the description
of his brother in a buggy going toward
| the place. A man has been found who
| saw the carriage just outside the stable
yard, going toward East Rochester.
| Then there are about six witnesses
who heard shots fred that Wednesday
afternoon in February when Hiram
| Sawtelle met his death. The witnesses
| locate the point from which the sounds
came at almost this very spot. The
prosecution will produce a person to
| corroborate the testimony of the man
who saw Isaac meet his brother Hiram
at the depot, and also one who saw the
brothers get into carriage together
| and drive away,

Ms stery Surrounding The Death of
John j. hopkins, of New Haven.
BRANFoRD, Aug. sS.--This morning
Sheriff Nettleton received asmessage from
Coroner Mix, of New Haven, requesting
him to find James Callahan, ir. and
bring him to New Haven. Callahan is
The son of James Callahan, who was last
seen alive with John J. Hopkins, whose
body was found floating in Mill river
yesterday morning. The sheriff started
out to look for young Callahan but two
hours search failed to reveal his where
abouts. He drove to his home here last
night after a visit to New Haven, but
his mother told Sheriff Nettleton this
morning that her son rose early and
went away without saying where he was
going. Sheriff Nettleton says that young
Callahan's actions are very strange. He
has refused to answer the simplest
questions and acts very much like
a person who was holding something
back. The sheriff has been told
that the young man was in New Haven
Friday night. This he denies. and claims
to have passed the night at his home.
He seems to be greatly annoyed at all
questions, but that may have been from
fear that he might say something to in
lure his father. The sheriff thinks young
Callahan and not his father, Smight have
been with Hopkins in New Haven Fri
day night, when he lost his life. This is
improbable as the description of Hop
kins' companion, as furnished by Saloon
keeper Rose and others, is that of man
so years old. Callahan is known as a
quiet sort of a man who would harm no
one willingly. He occasionally went off
on sprees, but was not violent when I'M
der the influence of liquor and was new
err known to make disturbance. He
has worked as moulder for many years
and has saved quite 2 sum of money.
This morning Mrs Callahan said that she
was almost certain that her husband was
in Boston and had telegraphed to her
hHshand's sister, Mrs Ellen NJ. Clancy,
205 West Ninth street, Boston, for infor-
nation. She had received no reply.

Colonel Doherty More Than Pleased
With His Regiments Work.
In speaking of the work of the Second
regiment at last weeks encampment,
Colonel Doherty said: 49,
81 would be ungratefulsdid not say
that am perfectly satisfied. l do not
wish to be egotistical, neither do wish
to take any of the credit to myself, but
in Justice to the regiment l must say
that its work was second to none that
has ever been performed in camp. do
not make this statement from my own
personal observation, but from what /
| have gathered from the criticisms of dis
interested parties, including old military
men who. have served the regiment in
years past, men who have been officers
in other regiments of the state, and men
who have served in the militia IF other
states. The regiment has appeared on
every ceremony and drill of the week.
We gave three regimental parades,
which is more than any other regiment
in the brigade has done, and in spite OF
all these duties, the men have always
shown themselves willing to perform
their work. They did this m such a way
that am satisfied that they worked not
as if they were compelled to do so, but
because they had the good of the regi
ment at heart. / take pride in saying
that the dress parade we had Friday af-
ternoon, in which we showed ten com
panies. with twenty files front, was the
finest lever witnessed. AS to the conduct
of the men, need only say that l have
seen nothing that would call for a WORD
of condemnation. AS far as l have oh
served, the men in the Second have be
haved themselves like gentlemen, as
was sure they would"
Gov Buckley and a party of friends
including Col Turnbull of the Victoris
Rifles of Montreal, visited Col Doherty
Friday night. Col Turnbull spoke high
ly of the work of the entire brigade, but
he complimented Col Doherty on Tho
work of the Second regiment in particu
lar. and said that the battalion drill was
as fine as he had ever witnessed.
Says the New Haven Register
Among the visitors Friday afternoon
was Mayor Baldwin of Waterbury, whC
was the guest of Col Doherty of the
Second. The mayor is not well versed il
military tactics, and when he was com
manded to halt a few days ago by pro
vost who was on guard, he declined t.
do it.

eight feet deep.

& Sons shops at Ansonia, Saturday
morning, allowed the wire to slip from
the grasp from the plyers and it played
havoc with the rolls, breaking a mum

for several days. The wire in its wild
run narrowly escaped doing a terrible
injury to Michael Lane, the engineer. 1t

portion of his trousers and scorching
the skin.

In the first ward Capt. A. j. Wolf, of

candidate for alderman. Ex-Alderman
Frank j. Rametti is out of the race and
will cheerfully give his support to Capt.
Wolf.
" Honest John" Thompson will lead

understood that no opposition will be
made to the regular ticket in this ward.
Miles F. Connolly's forces have deserted
him and the ex-leader says he is " out OF
EX-Alderman Timothy O'RouIke will
not be a candidate on the Connolly ticket
should one be prepared.
In the second ward the customary two

WILL LINCOLN RESIGN


CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Edward S. Isham,
one of Robert T. Iincoln's law part
ners, was seen to-day in reference to
the report that upon Secretary of Lega-
tion Whites return to England six or
eight weeks hence, Robert I. Lincoln,
Caited States Minister to the Court of
ST. James, would resign his position.
Mr.. Isham declined to either confirm or
deny the report.
1t is the general opinion of number
OF Mr.. Lincoln's friends, however, that
he will resign his position before the
new year and return to the practice of
his prof ession in Chicago. This is
strengthened by the report that when
Mrs Lincoln and her two daughters re-
turn from Iowa they will take up their
residence in their home on the Lake
Shore drive.
