The Belfast journal OF this week contains
the following:
The following correspondence explains H.

paolication was requested by friends OF Mr.
Milliken:
HON. s. l.. MILLIKEN:
My dear friend-As long ago as served with
you 10 me legislature OF Maine, when you were a
spirit, your industry and fidelity enlisted INV es.
TEEN and caused me to feel an earnesr interest In
your welfare. Since then have watched .yOur
career with qualification and pride. The com
gress, your industry and falthfulness there, the
promptnesS with which you have attended TO all
business committed 10 your care. especially your
untiring Efforts for the old Union soldiers their
as well as your unprecedented service in securing
needed appropriations for our Congress. i0nal Dis
tricf, and the broad and enlightened views which
you nave expressed upon national questions COM
mand my respect and approval, aud earnestly
desire tnat you may continue 10 Congress 10 give
the benefit OF your talents and experience TO your
constituency and the country.
You know, however, that 1 am an earnest tenn
perance man, and you have among US temperance
men many warm friends. Now while we feel
thankful that, whether In the legislature OF Maine
or In Congress, you nave invariably voted for and
aOly advocated temperance measures whenever
you had an opportunity to do so, we have bean
paned by stories circulated In regard TO your oc-
casional use OF intoxicating liquors, and can as
sure you that nothing would be more gratifying to
us, your sincere friends. than to be assured OF
your determination to become a total absteiner
from the use OF those beverages.
do not write TO you In the spirit Of criticism or
fault finding but TO give expression to the honest
convictions OF your friend OF many years past and
trust OF many years To come.
Truly Yours, HENRY WILLIAMSON.

CIRCUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

To prove the uncertainty of circumstan-
tial evidence a story Is often told OF an
honest citizen who, passing near a clump
of woods and hearing cries OF pain, ap.
preached to find O man upon the ground
weltering in blood. In his breast was
thrust q knife which he was feebly trying
to remove. The good Samaritan knelt
beside him and drew the knife from the
wound. While he still held 1t in his hand
crowd of people arrived and he was ar
rested for murder. He had no defense that
jury would believe. He was found lean.
ing over the body OF his victim, with the
blood-stained knife grasped in his hand,
and upon him was the victims blood. He
vas convicted and executed.
The arrest Of ALrKED BoTz, n negro hod-
carrier, ON Saturday night, is very similar
10 the instance quoted above. He had been
spending the evening with friend, and on
his way home passed the corner of Ninety
sixth street and Park avenue. There he
saw woman bleeding from wound in her
neck. She asked him to call a policeman.
There was none in sight and, seeing that
but was luC NSklo htIDSu hSi w
a neighboring drug store, where she died
without making any explanation as to how
she received her injury.
The examination of the wound showed
that it had been inflicted by razor. The
police were called in and BoTZ told his
story He was questioned in detail, and
not being bright, and perhaps hurried
by the unusual circumstances, contra
dicted himself He was locked up on sus.
picion Of being the murderer The woman's
body was taken to the Morgue, and twenty
four hours later was identified by one
who had heard that three days before
another attempt had been made to
kill her. This person gave the name OF
the wouldbe murderer. He was arrested,
and in his possession a razor was found
Whether or not 1t will be proven that this
man did the killing, his arrest and tho goot
character of tho hod-carrier will be the
means of saving the latter from the elec
trical chair.
Circumstantial evidence must have grea
bearing in all capital cases, because when I
murder is committed the murderer take
care that there shall be no witnesses t.
the deed. The strongest clue that thel
can be obtained is motive, and tn
whereabouts of the suspected persoi
about the time the crime WAS committed
Yet this evidence must be considered will
great care and Judgment for 1t is very ap
70 produce mistaken conclusions. Wher
mans life depends upon it the position
of the jury which is trying him is delicat'
indeed, for nothing can bo more seriou
than the inhicting of the death penalt
upon an innocent man.

A CONGREGATION ON STRIKE.

There is singular strike in progress in
1t is that Of the Fulton
Street Methodist Episcopal Church CON
gregation against the Bishop and the
Presiding Elder of the Newark Con
ference. 1t is not probable that the
New Jersey militia will be called
upon to quell the trouble, hut affairs did
look blue yesterday for that portion of the
church militant Immediately concerned,
since the sexton refused to ring the bell and
the choir refused to sing, while of big
congregation only about thirty people at
tended the services
The trouble is due to the fact that the
church asked for the Rev. W. +. SIMPSON
as pastor. and, in the wisdom of the Con-
ference, got the Rev. G. II. JOHNSTON
instead. Tho latter thus becomes the
innocent victim OF wrath which
lie would have been more than willing
TO escape, since his choice and expressed
desire was to go to another pulpit to which
another congregation was as anxious to
welcome him as were the Ei2abethport
people to greet the Rev. Mr.. SIMPSON. Mr..
JOHNSTON hopes to adjust matters amIca-
by, and it is indeed TO be sincerely
desired that the disappointed flock to which
lie has been sent may, before another Sun
day, come TO see and repent OF the really
unjust treatment 10 which it is subjecting
him. To be righteously indignant a
the sighting of an apparently rea
sonable wish is perhaps excusable, bu
it is question If the Elzabethport con
Eregation has taken becoming method o
demonstrating its dsapproval.
