THE MAINE MARINE.
Colonel Commandant Hayward Has Plans
All Made Against Chilli.

If war should break out with Chill,
there is certainly one soldier from Maine
who would have chance of distinction.
A Washington despatch says that Colonel
Hayward, the commandant of the marine
corps, will ask Congress to authorize the
increase of the corps to its maximum en-
listed strength of 1000 men, which would
require an addition of 500 men to the
present force. 1t is likely that the colonel
would 60 in command of the body him
self, provided the campaign contemplated
the utilization of land force. The ma
rines have always proved very effective
in warfare, and are Indispensable in cases
where the attack by naval battalions is
to be followed by the occupation of the
territory of the enemy. Colonel Hayward
went into the navy from Waterville, Me-,
before the war. He was on the Inflated
Cumberland when the Merrimac attacked
her in Hampton roads, and after gallant
ly standing by until the last gun was
fired, made his escape from the sinking
vessel. He served with distinction
through the war and remained in the Ma
rine Corps after the war ended. About
year ago the President appointed him
Colonel-Commandant, the highest office
in the Marine Corps.
General Hyde on the Situation.
General 7. W. Hyde of the Bath Iron
Works is just returning from consulta-
ton with the authorities at Washington.
He is reported to have found the Wash
ington officials firmly convinced that war
is inevitable, and says he thinks we shall
find a war on our hands in short order
unless Chill apologies. He is going to
hurry up work on the three ships build
ing at his yard. The gunboat Machias
will be ready for service by July l, and
gunboat No. 6 three weeks later. The
Ammen harbor defence ram will be ready
for launching by July 1.

A win Case.

An interesting case. it is reported will
soon come before the Probate Court from
Gray. The story goes that David Libby
of that town made will leaving nearly
all his property to the Gray Congrega-
tonal Society. Afterwards Mrs. Libby
died and then MI. Libby, but after his
death this will could not be found, and
the man who was known to have drawn
it is dead. The lawyers for the society
say that it takes as sane man to destroy
will as to make it, and if they can prove
that he was of sound mind when he made
the will and not sane when he destroyed
it, then they think they have a good case.
Mr.. Libby's brother is his heir-in-law and
doesn't think they shall lose the money.

SUPERIOR COURT.
Judge Bonney's Net of Justice Caught an
Apothecary Yesterday.

In the Superior Court yesterday morn
ing, Sabina F. Cady, her brother Mark J..
Sullivan, and James H. Barry, were put
on trial before the second jury, charged
with keeping a liquor nuisance at No. 30
York street. The officers testified to ev-
idence of traffic in the ardent that they
had seen about the premises, and at one
time they discovered trap, worked by
concealed spring, in the corner of the
parlor floor, in which they found twenty
six bottles, containing in all about TWEEN
ty-two quarts of whiskey. They testified
that the three defendants were always
seen about the premises. Mrs. Cady and
Sullivan own the house
Neither of the respondents testified
MI. Looney, who appeared for Mrs. Cady
called her to the stand, and stated that
he wanted to offer her as witness for
herself but wanted the county attorney
to say that he would not cross-examine
her as to what she might know about the
other two respondents. Assistant Coun-
ty Attorney True said he could notprom-
Use to assist in acquitting respondents,
and if she took the stand she must face
the music and answer all lawful ques-
lions. Judge Bonney said if respond
ent takes the witness stand he must do it
like any witness. He cannot offer him
self with reservations and limitations but
must answer all questions that are prop
er and legally admissible. MI. Looney
then withdrew his client from the stand
and went on with his argument without
putting in any testimony. The verdict
was guilty against all three. Assistant
County Attorney True tried the case for
the state. Mr.. Looney for Mrs. Cady
andD. A. Meaher for Sullivan and Barry.
John III. Hammond Convicted.
In the afternoon, John II. Hammond
was held on nuisance Indictment. He
is proprietor of drug store at the cor
ner of Free and Center streets. D. A.
Meaher appeared as his counsel and Mr..
True for the state. The officers found
five gallons of whiskey in the cellar and
bottle up stairs. The state showed
two sales of whiskey during the time
covered by the Indictment.
The defendant said the whiskey was
for compromising prescriptions and de-
MED the sales. Verdict guilty.
John j. Roach's Turn.
Next came John j. Roach, whom the
grand jury say in their Indictment kept
liquor nuisance at No. 16 Briggs street.
Young Roach-for he is apparently not
over IS years old-lives with his father
and mother at this place. The officers
have found three empty bottles smelling
of whiskey, a ten gallon cask in the eel
lar dripping with whiskey, and quart
bottle of whiskey in an outbuild-
ing. Young Roach was always around
there and the government showed one
sale by him. Roach put in no testimony,
hif counsel relying on the weakness of
the governments case. Verdict guilty.
