The town of Cape Elizabeth having voted the

that this new boat, in addition to double
driveway, will be built high enough to take on
the large omniDuses which ply between this
city and the cape. The boat will also e able
to take load of hay, and in fact anyt.4.hg else

Excellent Smelt Fishing on the High
Tides Fa"

The high tides which are prevailing now are
bringing an excellent run OF luck to the smelt
fishermen who fish from Deering bridge The
tides have run almost even with the driveway
of the bridge, and e smelts have literally
swarmed in the waters below the bridge. In
the full moon of Saturday and Sunday nights
and in the noon tide of yesterday some big
catches were made by the fishermen who
braved the discomfort of the cold weather.
Two or three hundred fish to a fisherman was
not at all an uncommon catch. The fish are
also remarkably large and fine looking.

THE OVERMAN CASE.
A Witness Against the Major
Proves to be a Defaulter.
He Told Terrible Story, then the Defense
Showed Up His Past Life-The
Prosecution Ended.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. determination
of Henry Rossiter, clerk in Major Over
mans office to-day, brought forth sensa-
ton. He said the Worthington s. Lawson
vouchers were partly made out by him &C
cording to orders and partly by Oyerman.
The receipts were in Overman's handwrit-
ing. The bill Of La Eson Bros. sent to the
Office was for only $3.50. Upon cross exam
ination, he said he ignored Overman's
order, after the charges and suspension,
to report to him at Washing
ton with his duplicate vouchers.
Then the defense, On the ground of at
lacking the credibility of the witness tes-
timony, launched thunderbolt at him.
Judge Saunders, by series of questions,
compelled Rossiter to admit he left the
employ of the Domestic Sewing Machine
company in 1856 q heavy defaulter. AS
cashier and bookkeeper of the company 8
Chicago office, he sunk 500, 900 of their
money in wheat speculation. 1t is stated
the matter was kept out of the news
papers: that not even his most in innate
friends or relatives knew of it until the IN
willing admission OF Rossiter to-day and
that the loss was long since made good.
1t is stated Rossiter told Major Overman
in confidence, the story of mis- defalcatiOD
and settlement when he obtained employ
ment in the engineers Office. Rossiter is
almost FRUSTRATED by the revelation of his
guilt at this late day. After few ques-
lions concerning the investigation at Over
mans Office by an army officer after the
charges were made, Rossiter was allowed
to leave the witness stand. The Judge ad-
vocste announced the prosecution was
ended.

The De Steurs Divorce Case.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb S.-The De
Steurs divorce case was begun this morn
ing, baroness de Steurs, Count Zebrowski,
her lawyer and her maid being in court.
The Barone SIS was put on the stand and
occupied the whole morning in telling her
story. She was very bright witness and
quite won the hearts of her hearers. She
said her husband was always cruel and
irritable with her. He called her a savage
American" Often at state dinners he
would become angry at her and shout at
her, Il wish TO God / had never married
you" Once when minister at Madrid
negotiating a delicate commercial treaty,
he asked her TO play the coquette with the
minister Of commerce and make him think
he could do what he liked with her. This
base proposition she Indignantly rejected.
He charged her with being unfalthful, June
Is, 1880 and he had two doctors examine
her as 10 her sanity and took her children
away from ter. She left HIM and has not
seen him since.
The deposition Of Baron de Steurs is an
interesting document, giving a glimpse OF
life in aristocratic European circles. The
baron attributes all the trouble be had
with his wife to her peculiar nervous at
lection which baffled the best medical
skill.
During the cross examination Madame
De Steurs testified to the bsron's efforts
TO have her confined in a retreat" She
said she was worth 81 600 600, all in New
York property. Her maid gave supporting
testimony

special TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
New YORK, Feb. S.-When told of Mr.
Blaine's withdrawal, c. NJ. Depew, one of
the most prominent Republicans in this
city, said: Certainly the most important
announcement that has been made in this
presidential canvass. Blaine was certain
OF nomination. There would have been no
name put in opposition against him. He
is still in position to largely dictate the
choice of the convention. 1t is usual for
the opposition TO the admins tration TO
concentrate upon few strong men and if
they can com Dine they will beat the in
cumbent for denomination. This was the
case with Arthur and with Hayes. The
belief that Mr.. Blaine would not refuse a
nomination, if tendered, has prevented any
concentration up to the present moment of
the enemies of President Harrison, or to
put it in another form of those who believe
that some other candidate would be
stronger
This letter makes almost certain the
denomination of Harrison" said Mr.
Depew. at takes time" he continued,
Sin the absence of men of national repu-
tstion and national following in great
part, to bring forward local leaders and
make national factors of them in opposi-
ton 10 national tendency of an adminlstra-
ton to perpetuate itself for second term.
AS it looks at this moment, on first i'm

candidate will be General Harrison; the
pattorm-protection, reciprocity and hon.

letter, and to spokesman and prophet OF

consist of 81, 100000. or as much as may be
necessary, legal tender paper money to be
issued by the secretary of the treasury and
interchangeable at par with other kinds of
lawful money of the United States. Any
state desiring to avail Itself of its benefits
may dc so by the adoption of joint resou-
ton setting forth the state agrees to pay TO
the United States per cent per annum on
all sums drawn and retained by it, and pro-
viding for the loan of money to its citizens
upon reasonable security at interest not eX-
ceeding 3 per cent. The secretary is to
honor the request for loan to the extent
of 30 per cent. of the assessed value of real
estate situated within the state.
Senator Proctor has introduced bill
authorizing the enlistment in the regular
army of 5000 Indians under the same con-
ditions the government makes the enlist

General AIger Was Surnrisrn.

DETROIT, Feb. S.-General Russell A.
Alger was shown copy of Mr.. Blaine's let
ter this evening. He expressed surprise
when he read it. 81 didn't believe" he
said, THAT Mr.. Blaine would write, but a
good many people told me they thought he
would. 1t would be premature in me to
say much about it until l have considered
it, and you must excuse me tonight from
venturing a prophecy or saying anything
about my own prospects. The more can
didates in the field, in my opinion, the bet
ter it will be for the party because of the
enthusiasm. No convention is so tame as
the one which has its slate made up before
1t meets. 1t would De a healthy thing for
the party to have several presidential can
didatesn

President that such was his intention some
time ago. But didn't know what form or
time he would choose for the announce
ment."
MIR. Miller declined to discuss the prob
able effect of the letter upon the prospects
of denomination of the President, or upon
the prospects Of other possible candidates.
SECRETARY FOSTER,
of the treasury was more communicative
He, too, heard the text of Mr.. Blaines let
ter for the first time from the correspond
emit. THAT sounds to me,n he said, 'like
positive and final withdrawal 1t is true
that the famous Florence letter is very
like 1t in terms, and 1t Is true that, despite
that letter, Mr.. Blaine's name was placed
before the convention of 1888, and that his
friends only ceased to press his name after
imperative cablegrams had been sent to
Chicago by Mr.. Blaine. But l cannot see
how he could frame language more ex-
pliclt and mandatory than the opening SEN
tence of this letter.
''Will his friends accept this as final3n
VI think they will. l can say that Ohio
will now send a Harrison delegation to
Minneapolis. There has always been a
strong Blaine sentiment in Ohio although
Ohio has never voted for him. That has
been because John Sherman has heretofore
been candidate. In my opinion, MIR.
Blaine's letter makes the denomination of
President Harrison almost certainty. Do
you ask whether the opposition to tine
President will now be concent rated on any
other candidate. Well, in the frat place.
do not think there is much in this tails of
opposition. Probably, however, other
candidates will now enter the field. II is
open to them, and it always has been open.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Blaine may encour-
age men who have been hesitating in the
background. General Alger, for example,
may come forward. Secretary Ruski No, !
don't believe that he is in any sense can
didate. He is one of the most loyal men in
the world. But there, must not talk any
more"

viewers. Senator Hale, of Maine, also
