PURSUING AN OLD FLAME.
Peter Kiel Is Not the Man to Take No 4
Answer.


Peter Kel has sued Mrs. c. b. Brown in
the justices Court TO recover S299 90,
money loaned nine months ago. and thereby
hangs bit Of tale. To secure his judg-
ment be has, moreover. attached her little
restaurant on Fourth street, near Market
Kiel and Mrs Brown had met about a year
ago. He became sweet on her, and lest al
this sweetness for her 60 for naught he pro-
posed marriage.
She was not in The humor, but to further
pave the way to her affections be lavished
presents on her, such as S125 Of coin of the
realm, several lovely dresses, a pair of dia-
mond earrings and such other un considered
trlfies for which the feminine heart has a
natural haDkering. Then the object of
bis alteration went into the business, on
Ninth street, Of filing empty stomachs
KEEL continued his alterations and devotions
for period Of some five months more, and
then to be rid of him she Tilted him and
married man with the ordinary name Of
Brown.
KEEL had threatened to sue her for the
return Of his presents. and she compromised
by turning over the restaurant to him, going
over TO Oakland then and marrying this
bold and bluff mariner with the very or
binary name aforesaid. This was four
months ago. and after a bout two months of
presumed bliss, for nothing has been said TO
the contrary, the man with the ordinary
name went to sea and she returned to the
city and thTiftily opened the Fourth-street
restaurant.
KEEL appeared again on the tapis, made
himself obnoxious with his undesrab BILE at
tenti0ns. and even tempted her to desert the
mariner at sea and take up with him. She
spurned him. He threatened to close up
the restaurant, and in pursuance of such
threat presumably commenced the suit for
money loaned.

PERINE HAS THE CONTRACT.

Stone Company's Claim.

An Accounting Ordered Of the Frear
Stone Company's Claim.
Judge Hunt concluded yesterday after
noon the trial Of the mixed up case of the
Frear Stone Company against n. p. Perine,
and then referred the matter TO ex-Judge
James G. Mcguire for an accounting of the

under In prosecuting certain bills before

mp as an Offset against the company In its
prayer for division OF the S6624 appropria-
ton OF 1889 for statuary and granite
work for the asylum at Napa.

ne had told the truth TO 6. w. Beaver, the
president OF the company, when lie informed
MIN that he had 10 pay two-thirds of the
appropriation to Buckley and Higgins for
services In securing the passage Of the BILL
lie offered TO prove the truth of his asser-
tons by exhibiting the contract to that
elect dated December 10, 1885, which he
proposed to read out of little memoran-
dum-book. which he drew from his pocket
The Judge ruled it out, however, declar-
Ing it was proper subject to come up when
the accounting is being taken. Mr. Perine's
recollections about many matters were very
vague on account of the very long time
which has elapsed since these things had
occurred

the walters employed by NJ. Fl. Nash at
Oakland pavilion, is Mrs. Sadie Leon
ard, who formerly resided in this city,
but who, on account of a recent disagree
ment with her husband, Thomas, has
since found occupation elsewhere. Last
night while the merriment was at its
height, the husband, Thomas Leonard,
suddenly appeared on the scene and re-
quested an interview with his wife. The
two withdrew to the piazza In few
moments, Leonard was seen to draw
from his pocket small knife with which
he made two distinct stabs at his wife.
When others approached, he desisted.
Mrs. Leonard was brought to this city.
where she received prompt medical at
tendance. She was very weak fr ON the
flow of blood, but the injuries fortunate
ly proved to be of a minor nature. Leon
ard was arrested, and at trial befoer

FOR THE STATE.

If the court room was packed in the
morning, it was simply jammed in the
afternoon. Chairs were at premium.
The grand plea and thrilling peroration
of the morning were the general topic of
interest and discussion.
Mr.. Knowlton opened by saying he
could fully appreciate the court feelings
of relief that the end was so near; that
he had found it the most trying epoch of
the courts long and honorable career.
In the crime of murder, justly esteemed
the most awful, there is that feeling of
horror that brings to man the deepest
thrill he experiences. Not women and
weak men alone, but the strong man
need not be ashamed to confess the Sc
cret terror he feels at the thought of the
assassin.
Every instinct of humanity is excited
at murder; everyone becomes a detec-
tive. This murder was so causeless, so
wicked, so unnecessary; the people who
were killed were so free from the active
chickering's of many around them, that it
is case which presents the strangest
features.
When the news spread abroad that this
daughter had been charged with this
crime, he could fully sympathize with
the feeling of surprise,
Yes, Anger and Indignation,
at such charge, and he was not sur
prised at the rising up of SO many friends
for her. Does any one suppose that my
own soul is not stricken with anguish
that such courses have been taken? con-
tinued the district attorney, but the car
rying out of duty is not always followed
by applause of the multitude. Without
the slightest desire to say one word
against this.woman, and only actuated by
duty, am doing my best to unravel this
mystery. I am not here to defend my
self; am sworn to discharge the provis-
ions of the duty of my office, and 1 am
going to do it.
Here the District Attorney defined the
various stages of the necessary proceed
ings in murder case, beginning at the
inquest and going on until the matter is
landed in the Supreme Court or squelch-
ed in the lower court, He said, simply,
that the duty of the lower court was dis
charged when it was said that probable
cause existed for holding or there was
none and that ended the matter for the
present.

They Gathered in Brunswick to Near
MI. Reed.
A MEETING WHICH WAS A SIGN
OF COMING VICTORY.
1t Was an Audience Composed Largely of
Young Men that Gave Mr.. Reed Close
Attention for an Hour-The ex-Speak-
er's College Days Pleasantly Recalled
Delegations Present from BOwdoinham
and HarpsweI1.
Especial to the Press.l


BRUNSWICK, September This eve-
ming fully 1000 people gathered in the
town hall to hear Hon. Thomas B. Reed.
The meeting was called to order at 8
o'clock by Colonel Thompson who, after
a few remarks, introduced Hon. Stephen
J. Young. Mr.. Young spoke Of the po-
litical standing of the town in local af-
fairs and warned the voters not to let
personal feeling influence their votes. He
then said he remembered that when he
was in college as sophomore certain
young man entered college and began to
make himself veryobnoxious to the DEM
ocrats. AS a sophomore, Mr.. Young
said he did not really sympathize with
the young mans great enthusiasm, but
that now he did most heartily, and that
he would present that same young man.
Mr.. Reed was then introduced, amid
long continued applause, followed
by cheers from the audience. Mr.. Reed
then said he hoped the cordiality of his
reception would wipe out the bad i'm
preston of him that Mr.. Young had
given the audience. The attention of
the audience was held for an hour in the
manner peculiar to Mr.. Reed, no one
losing word and the attention not be-
ing allowed for one moment to flag. The
speech was frequently interrupted with
applause. The members of the Republic
can Club met previous to the meeting at
their rooms, and headed by the band
marched to the hall.
One of the noticeable features of the
meeting was the number of young men
present who cast their first vote this fall.
Many people were present who had come
from Bowdoinham, Harpswell and from
a radius of Is miles. Brunswick is thor
oughly Republican this year, the Demo-
Gratis being very few and quiet. But the
few Democrats, as well as the many Re-
publicans, were out in force tonight to
hear Mr.. Reed.
Mr.. Blaine Writing Letter.
AUGUSTA, September 1.-Senator Hale
was in town today. He says Mr.. Blaine
will make no speeches during the cam
paign, but is now engaged in writing q
letter that is likely to appear any day,
which will be devoted to some of the is
sues now being discussed.
