Second Sight.

In town in the western part of Cum
berland county a case of second sight is
exciting much attention. A lady, who
resides with her brother, and la an inva-
lid, possesses the extraordinary power OF
accompanying her brsther in spirit,
wherever he may go, and upon his re
turn from a visit to the city, for instance,
MISUNDERSTANDING relate with!utmost ex-
actness whatever - did while there, and
tell just what stores and houses he called
at. The most remarkable thing yet is in
regard to the Borden case. The family
have kept from her all newspapers and
other means of knowledge of the TRACE
dy. and she has never heard a word in
relation to it, But the other day she
startled them by suddenly exclaiming
Lizzie Borden did not kill her father
and mother; it was done by young man
in the neighborhood, who wished to
marry Lizzie. She knew about it, how
ever, and SO did the Irish girl

pal Court session began, the room was
crowded with people to listen to the case
of Samuel c. McKenuey of Crotch Island,
charged with assault with deadly wea-
pom on his wife and her brother, George
Pettengill. The particulars of the case
were published in yesterdays PRESS.
McKenney had Mr.. George Libby for
counsel. The prisoner pleaded not guilty,
waived examination and was bound over
in $500 bonds to the next session of the
grand jury.
At the lodging room Mckinney $
daughter visited him, placing her arms
around his neck and weeping bitterly
Providing he got bail, the relatives
stated that they should not remain on
the island if he were there, as they feared
their lives. McKenney stated that he
thought it best that he be taken to jail,
as he might be taken insane again and COM
NIT anothsr similar deed. AS his daughter
left him he, in a crying voice, asked
her to come and see him often. Later
in the morning the little girl came back
to the station with two large apples and
requested Officer Norton to give them to
her father and then she broke into tears.

SPOKANE BOOMS.
1t Knocks Out Portland, Tacoma
and Seattle.
1t Becomes the JObbing Center of
the Pacific Northwest and Jim
Hill, of the Great Northern, is
Its Patron saint.

SAN FRANcIsCo, August 3O.-A Chicago
special says that no-other line has yet fol-
lowed the example of the Great Northern
in Withdrawing from the transcOntinental
association. Word came today, however.
from st. Paul and Spokane, which will
render it impossible for the Northern Pa
cifc to retain its membership after the
Great Northern retres. President Hill
has definitely abandoned the policy of
rate-making in force on the transconti-
mental lines. He announces that he will
make rates, based on mileage alone, be-
tween st. Paul and the Pacific. Atpresent
all transcontinental roads to the Pacific
coast terminal points are based on ocean
competition. For instance, a commodity
from st. Paul to Portland over the North
ern Pacific might take the rate Of 50 per
hundred pounds. The same commodity
shipped over the same line to Spokane
might and probably would take the rate Of
$3.50 or more per hundred pounds. Spo-
kane is 375 miles east of Portland, but the
Northern Pacific would carry the same
commodity, through Spokane and 375
miles farther for so cents per hundred less,
This system OF rate-maklng applles on all
transcOntinental lines and has been APP
proved by the interstate commerce COM
mission in spite of the long and short haul
section of the act. The reasons given for
the system, and considered good by the
commission, are that the lines are COM
PEELED to make unreasOnably low rates to
terminal points to meet ocean competition,
we're they to use these terminal rates as
maxima and scale down to all interior
points back to zero at the starting point,
the whole system Of rails would be non
paying. Either the trans-continental lines
must abandon business TO seabOard points
or arrange in some way to make up the de-
ficit for low terminal rates. 1t is this sys-
tenn which the Great Northern intends TO
overthrow by its mileage charges. The
note of victory from Spokane could almost
be heard in Chicago today 1t proposes to
become the jobbing center Of the North
west end and to utterly eclipse the preten-
sions of Portland, Tacoma and Seattle.
Spokane is the competing point of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, and Of
course reduced rates must by the latter.
The Northern Pacifis will also be forced to
abandon its present system of making in
land rates by meeting the rates Of the Great
Norshern. This in turn will either drive il
out of the association or compel the other
trans-continental lines to abandon their To-
cal inland additions to a through basis.
Chicago officials are very curious
to know how PRECEDENT Hill will
scale his basis Of rates. 1t is thought he
may attempt an application of the Hun
garian zone system Of making the same
rates for instance to all points within the
same zone.
