4 LIFE AT STAKE.
Important Question Arising From the Con-
fessior of Murderer

DOVER On. H, Dec. 3.-The case of
Isaac Sawteil, the famous murderer, will
likely result in settling a most important
national constitutional question of interest
to the whole country. The Federal Consti-
tuition says distinctly that "no person shall
be subject for the same offense to twice be
put in jeopardy Of life or limb" Sawtell
was convicted Of numbering his brother in
New Hampshire and was sentenced to be
hanged next month. he now coDfe-ses to
the crime to make good his assertion that
he knows the assassination occurred in the
State of Maine. This proven necessitates
his trial in the latter State. But can he he
tried for murder twice? AS soon as the
New Hampshire court acknowledges lack Of
jurisdiction he will appeal to the Federal
court. The prosecution holds that lack of
jurisdiction In the New Hampshire courts
renders their powers nil; hence they in no
wise jeOpardized his lie. Consequently,
can he be legally tried in Maine? Much in
terest is manifested in settling this long
debated ones stiOn.

Serious Grain Blockade Threatened on East
ern Railroads.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Every Eastern road
with the exception of the Pennsylvania
lines has notified its Western connections
that owing TO the accumulation of freight
it cannot longer receive grain reconsigned
at Chicago for Eastern points. The car
situation has now become serious The
yards of the Eastern lines are crowded with
loaded cars marked for transfer. The West
ern roads refuse to allow any more of their
equipment east of Chicago, ard the Eastern
connections are unable to provide cars
enough to make the necessary transfers. 1t
is predicted that before the close OF the
month there will be a tremendous blockade,
extending from the Missouri River to the
seaboard. Advices from the Western wheat
belt indicate that the farmers in many To-
calities have insufficient storage-room for
their grain, and are unable to procure cars
