An Interesting Case.

An interesting case has been on trial
for five days in the New Hampshire Su-
preme Court at Ossipee. Messrs. Hart
& Farnham of Union, N. H., sued the
Drivers Union Ice Company of Boston,
to recover for 400 tons of ice which the
latter refused to receive under contract
made in March, 1890, for the delivery of
1000 to $4,000 tons, claiming that the
contract had been broken by plaintiffs by
furnishing poor ice. On account of this
the defendants refused to take any more
ice.
The plaintiffs claimed that they had
not broken the contract, and the ju-
ry found in their favor. rendering a ver-
dict yesterday for $5S7s. The counsel
for the plaintiffs were Worcester, Gafney
& Snow of Great Falls, N. H., A. l..
Foote of Wolfboro Junction, N. H, and
c. P. Mattocks of this city. The defend
ants were represented by Judge Abbott
and ]. A. Edgerly of Great Falls, N. H.
This verdict with one exception is
the largest rendered in Carroll county
for many years. One of the points in
volved was the right of the defendants to
annul ON account of a single bad lot of
goods, a contract as to future deliveries,
after having received and used portion
of the goods.

TIA REvoLvER's POINT.
How Yankees from Maine Are Said to
Have Invaded Canada.

ANDovER, N. B., April 2s.-Word has
reached here that near the hour of mid
night Thursday last, three citizens of the
United States drove to Tilley settlement,
Victoria county, seized a negro named
Benjamin Robertson, who was suspected
of having set fire to buildings in Aroos-
took county. Me-, handcuffed him and
carried him forcibly across the boundary
line into Maine. Afterwards he was sent
to Houlton Jail. 1t is said the kidnap-
ping parties had no papers, either Amer
lean or Canadian, to warrant the arrest;
certainly no examination was had, and
when a Canadian citizen asked the invad-
ers for their authority they exhibited
loaded revolvers and demanded to know
if that was not sufficient. General indig-
nation prevails here over the outrage, and
the facts have been reported to the min
lister of justice at Ottawa, and he is re-
spectfully asked to quietly demand
the return of the same.

What a former Captain Of Police
Says About 1t.
An Astonishing Fact That Ought to
be Known by Everybody.
Cause for Alarm Unless Immediate
Action is Taken.

Alexander Bell is retired captain of the
Portland, Me-, police force
He has strange and wonderful story to tell.
Now Mr.. Bell is an old Grand Army man in
deed. was one of the founders of the famous
Bosworth Post, G. A. R., and is widely known
and much respected throughout the State of
Maine.
Wewill let him tell his remarkable story in
his own way.
Il nave had two strokes of paralysis, the first
about four years ago, the second in January
1891. My left side was completely parayzed,
the face drawn, arm and leg immovable.
'On account Of my advanced age of rs years,
and this being second attack, my physicians
pronounced my case hopeless.
81 was finally induced to try DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura, and soon began to improve, the muscles
of the face Strengthened, then my arm began to
gain, and began to walk after having used
three bottles of this remedy.
'My arm can now place to my head and
have fair use of it, and with cane have walked
as far as two miles and asl1alf.
"From being helpless paralytic, having to
be dressed and cared for by others, now care
for myself, can walk about the city and enjoy
fair health.
II would state that after beginning the use of
DIR. Greene's Neryura used no other medicine.
"The result surprised and astonished all my
friends, and they have urged me to make this
statement as a matter of justice and to encour-
age others who may be similarly afflicted.
II will also state that was soldier in the
late war and served Is years on the police force
of Portland.
ALEXANDER BELL,
144 Lincoln ST., Portland, Me.
This is indeed most remarkable cure by a
wonderful medicine-a medicine which is, be-
yond all doubt, the greatest nerve remedy and
health restorer ever discovered. The Portland
doctors are astonished at its effects in diseases
which have baf1ed their skill. Mr.. Bells res
toration should make everybody suffering from
paralysis or any nervous disease use DR..
Greene's Nervura without delay.
But do not wait until you are actually par
alyzed before using this great remedy. Tt will
always prevent paralysis, nervous debility and
nervous proStration if taken when the first
symptoms appear.
Take it if you have weak and tired feeling
with WEAKNESS of the limbs, numbness, tremb-
ling, palpitation of the heart pricklng sensation
in fingers or toes, headache, dull feeling head.
confused mind, loss of memory. 1t will over
come indigestion and dyspepsia, regulate the
bowels and cure liver and kidney complaints.
1t is the best blood enricher and invigorator in
the world, and should therefore be used by all
as a spring medicine.
1t is purely vegetable and perfectly harmless,
and should you be sufferer from disease you
will use it if you are WISE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 2S.-The
destruction of the Grand Central Thea
tire by fire last night proves far more ter
rible in its results than was anticipated.
Six members of the Devils Auction
company lie dead beneath the fallen
walls of the building, and nearly three
score of people are in the hospital suffer-
ing from burns. Of the men and boys
in the hospital, seven are in such serious
condition that their recovery is doubtful.
All were members of the audience. Be-
sides those seriously enough hurt to re-
main in the hospital, fully so others were
treated for minor injuries. The injured
likely to die are all suffering from burns
about the face and head, and from hay
ing inhaled flames. In addition to the
serious condition of the above, it is
feared that many will lose their eyesight.
The ruin of the Central Theatre is
complete. Only the front wall is stand
ing. The other walls have fallen in, and
fill the space they formerly enclosed.

shell remains of the eight story building

SECURED A LOUNGE WITH NAPHTHA
The Fire Which Followed Caused the
Loss of Two Lives.
New YORK, April 2S.-Fire broke out
at 11.30 this morning, in the five-storied
double-fiat house, the "Cayuga,'' at 109
and Ill West Esd street. Two persons
were burned to death, and two more SO
severely burned that they may die. For
ty families live in the house. The fire
started in the apartments of DR.. J. E.
Briggs. The doctor was securing lounge
with naphtha, when there came an ex-
PlooAOh eoAAA oiO AOuhS5C WCuO up Ill d
blaze. The curtains caught fire, and the
flames rushed through the open doorway
and up the staircase. A panic ensued
among the tenants. DR.. Briggs was
found lying helpless on the floor fifteen
minutes after the fire broke out. His
hair was burned off his face and his body
was terribly disfgured. Mrs King, on
the third floor, was brought down, cut
and burned about the face and hands.
Mrs Catherine A. Moore was found very
much disfgured, her face being almost
unrecognizable and her clothes burned
off her body. In three quarters of an
hour, the fire was subdued. There was
no suspicion of any being left in the
the building, every floor having been
searched by the firemen, but after the
smoke had cleared away the dead body
of Mrs. Hannah Alexander was found
on the third floor, burned to crisp. A
few minutes afterward, the firemen
found the dead body of Mrs. Elizabeth
Jones, sister of Mrs. Alexander. on the
fourth floor. The fire escapes reached
only to the third story of the house.

MCKINLEY AND FORAKER
viii Be Among the Buckeye States Dele
gates at Minneapolis.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 2S.-When
Gov Mckinley assumed his duties as
permanent chairman of the Republican
convention today, he was greeted with
long continued applause. In his speech,
he referred to the triumph of Presiden t
Harrison's administration and called out
cheers which shook the roof by his allu-
sion to Secretary Blaine. He spoke of
the doctrine of protection and said:
''The tariff system that we uphold is
the American system and we propose
to stand right by it. Our opponents say,
in attacking this system, that the last
Congress was a billion dollar Congress. NV
friends, it was a two billion dollar oon-
gress. By its enactments we have in
creased the foreign and domestic trade
Of the United States to a total of
two billions in one year, point
never reached before since the founda-
ton of the American government. Ire
mendous cheering.
The platform declares unbounded con
fidence in President Harrison's admins
tration and expresses pride in the admin
istration of state affairs by Governor
Mckinley 1t declares the adhesion of
the party to the principles of the Nc
Kinley bill; condemns the bill recently
passed by the Democratic majority in
the House of Representative to place
wool on the free list as an unjust and
hurtful attack on the agricultural indus
tries of the country, and insists ON such
full and adequate protection for the wool
industry as will enable the American
farmers to supply the wool required for
consumption in the United States.
1t is opposed to the free coinage of sill
yer under existing circumstances, unless
under conditions that would reasonably
insure maintenance of the substantial
parity between the bullion and the mint
or money value of its coin. Every coined
dollar should have the intrinsic as well
as the monetary value of every other
coined dollar. 1t favors just and liberal
fought in behalf of the Union, and en-
dorses the disability pension bill.
Mr.. Taylor, Senator Sherman's candi-
date, was nominated for secretary of
state. Messrs. Mckinley, Foraker, Hahn
and Bushnell were elected delegates to
the Minneapolis convention by acclama-
ton.
