No fault whatever is to be found with the ar-
pointmcnt Of Mr. Edward NJ Shepard as mem
bcr of the commission 10 condemn the property OF
the Long Island Water Supply Company. The
oppointmcnt was made to fiji vacancy hut it was
made by Justice Cullen. ard not by Justice Pratt
who named the other members of the commission
The city of Brooklyn il represented in these pro
ccclings by ex,Iudge George q. Reynolds and Al
bert G. McDorah. When they were asked 10 go
before Judge Pratt - have the vacancy filed.
they declined 10 do so, and, furthermore said that
If Judge Pratt made any further appointments on
the commission they would resign as counsel and
publish n statement Of their reasons. There IL
something remarkable about this, and an cxplana-
ton from Messrs. Reynolds and Mcdonald is oh
viously demanded When Judge Pratt named the
first commissioners he ignored almost completely
the list of names of well-known citizens submitted
to him: but the significant remark of the city's
counsel seems to mean good deal more than that
II they know of any reason for distrusting any OF
Judge Pratt's appointecs, why should they conceal
it?

THEIR PLAN REVEALED.
The Whiskey Trust and Maverick
Bank Attorneys
LOOK TO THE SUPREME COURT
As "a storage House for Their Cases Where
They May Lie and Gather Dust Unit
-. - They Are Forgotten-The Opinions OF
Special Counsel.

BOSTON, March pa special dispatch
p the Journal from Washington says:
The bill to establish Circuit Courts of
Appeals, which has become known as the
Judiciary Act of 1891, contains in the fifth
section the following: 'rhat appeals or
writs of error may be taken from she Dis
trict Courts or from the existing Circuit
Courts direct to the Supreme Court In the
following cases In cases OF a conviction
OF a capital or otherwise Infamous crime,"
etc.
The Attorney General OF the United
States has been advised that under the
provincial Judiciary Act the attorneys
for the members OF the Whiskey Trust
and for the directors of the Maverick
Bank, who have been indicted in Boston,
have decided that they have the right 20
bring their cases directly TO the United
states Supreme Court on appeal even De-
fore trial.
The special counsel who has furnished
a written opinion to this effect is the
Hon. Elihu Root OF New York city. IL ~
needless to say that this interpretatlon
of the new law is attracting great atten-
ton on the part of those in Washington
who give the most consideration TO suoh
matters, and that the soundness OF the
construction of this new statue is gravely
brought in question.
The matter is considered OF such vital
Importance that United States District
Attorney Allen OF Boston has considered
il his duty to come here and lay the mat
ter before the Attorney General.
II lis probable that the attorneys FOR the
Whiskey Trust and for the Maverick
Bank Directors will be surprised To know
that the plan OF their defence has become
knows TO the officers OF the Government
before they themselves had sn opportun-
.ty to disclose it in open court.
1t is needless to say that II the courts
shall so interpret the new statute, one OF
the objects of the new judiciary act will
be defeated, and in many cases the doors
of the penitentiary will never be opened
to many indicted criminals, who certain
ly would have been convicted II tried
| and TO many cases, also, long before the
trial the indicted persons may have died
| their bondsmen may have died and the
bonds become worthless, and the crimes
for which they were convicted may have
| been forgotten.

NERVOUS AND FAINT.
AreWomen Slaves toThcir Nerves?

Women are great sufferers from nervous
ness, weakness, nervous prostration and de-
bility. Thousands droop and languish in the
close confined shops, factories or offices, and
hundreds OF thousands wear out their nerve
power in household cares and work. This is
especially true during the spring months,
when Spring Debility makes them much
worse.
IL is fact also that no disease In the world
has ever left such a train of invalids In Its
track-invalids who suffer from both nervous
and physical weakness and prostration.
What wonder that they become irorn out IN
nerve and vital power. and have great weak
ness, exhaustion, pain in back and limbs and
the distressing female complaints which are
always caused by loss of vital strength!
The great nerro hlrigordtor and female rostor-
attire is Or. Greene's Nervura. No remedy In
the world is 50 sure TO bring back the bloom
and color to the cheek, the brilliancy TO the
eyes, the elasticity 10 the step, the strength and
vitality TO the uhstrung, shattered and worn
out nerves. IL is the greatest of all uterine
tonics and regulators, and cures all female
weakness and disease. Use q this spring and
Oct back your strength aud rigor. Purely vege-
table and harmless. Druggists, 81.

Two Daring scnlpers Wrought Their owr
Destruction.


CHICAGO, March 22.-Lamson Bros. q
Co., leading board OF trade firm, are re-
ported losers to the extent of $4,000 to
100000 by the peculations OF employees
The firms cashier, Burt Smith, and its
bookkeeper, Robert w Whitaker, according
current gossip, were in collusion and
bought from 100000 to 100000 bushels of
wheat on their own account, but put 1t
down to the firm as upon account of va
rious customers.
The steady drop in the market and the
resulting calls for margins brought the
fraud TO light. No arrests have as yet been
made. The affair was not apparently re-
garded on change as shaking the strong
financial standing of the Lamsons. a re-
port was current that the culprits had
lled, but this was denied.
The two young men, according TO one
authority, began by making phenome-
nal profit on the big rise i'm wheat TO sl.lo
in August last, winning $32 600 on $50 OF
their own money, which they had luckily
placed. This sum they divided, reserving
half for future operations on the board,
and spending the other half In riotous
living.
The $4,000 capital was wholly wiped
out in the long decline which set in, and
the two daring scalpers, hoping for a
turn, resorted TO the fraud in which they
daily were obliged TO plunge deeper.
The deal which finally swamped them,
IL 10 said, was the purchase OF 3OO, 600
bushels at 90. Yesterday the market

Against Mr.. Walker.
WAsHINGToN, March 22.--In the House
yesterday, Mr.. Richardson. from the COM
mittee on printing, submitted report on
the resolution referred to the committee,
to strike out the portions OF Mr.. Walkers
speech brought to the attention of the
House by Mr.. Williams and declared by
him to be improper and offensive.
The report, which was a lengthy docu-
ment, was a severe arraignment OF Mr..
Walker for having violated the privilege
Of the House, and especially for having
used the language complained of in a
speech not delivered, but admitted to the
record "under leave to print"
Regarding Mr.. Walkers excuses that
the "mugwump caption" had slipped into
the, speech by mistake, the committee
finds that after having revised his speech
in type and made several corrections, he
gtill LIFT the offensive caption in the
speech.
Several of the sentences are quoted and
declared to be unparliamentary and invi-
olation OF the privileges of the House.

STARTED WITH A DEADLOCK.
Democratic Aldermen Fighting Against
saco's Republican Mayor.


SAco, Me-, March 22.--The inaugural
ton OF the Saco city government yester-
day terminated in deadlock between
Mayor James o. Bradbury (Republican),
and the Democratic majority in the
Board of Aldermen.
The Democrats gotTall the elective
officers. The dominant party introduced
an order TO repeal the chapter of the oity
ordinances, which gives the mayor au-
thority TO appoint the city marshal, po-
lice officers and standing committees.
The Mayor declared they had no right
TO repeal the ordinance at so short notice.
He declined to recognize the vote and
said he should waive none of his rights
in the matter. He nominated several po-
lice officers, but the Democratic MEM
bers OF the board refused to contlrm his
nominations.
A deadlock seems likely to exist most
any time.
The Inauguration OF the Biddeford city
council occurred yesterday. Mayor Ed
ward w. Staples, in his address, recon-
mended a new valuation OF the city's real
estate, and made especial reference to the
need OF increasing the valuation of cotton
mills.

MINORS OF cur RATES.
The Hoosac Tunnel Route Included in the
Supposed Trickery.

CHICAGO, March 22.-Rumcrs OF cut
rates on east bound freight were flying
thick. The statement OF east bound
shipments for last week shows that some
strong lines fall behind their weaker
competitors in the amount OF business
handled.
The Wabash, for instance, carried near
ly 1000 tons more freight than the Lake
Shore, while the Chicago q Lake Erie
did not fall 1000 tons behind the Wabash.
Several railroad officials pronounce this
almost conclusive evidence that rates are
being cut. The lines alleged to be espe-
cially guilty in this respect are the Wa
bash, the Nickel Plate, the Hoosac Tun-
mel route and the Lehigh Valley.
One shipper asserted that there is cut
of IL cents per 100 pounds on grain from
the Mississippi River 10 the Atlantic sea-
board, but railway men generally think
this must be an exaggeration. IL is said
that the -four rate is also being shaded.

PrrTsFIELD, Mass, March 22.-The tri-
al,of William Coy, for the murder of John
Whalen, opened yesterday before Chief
Justice Mason, Judges Aldrich and Ham
mond. A big crowd filled the court room
and many were turned away. A panel OF
eighty jurors were nearly exhausted be-
fore twelve men were secured. Judge
Mason appointed Austin Bond OF North
Adams, foreman of the jury in the case.
Clerk Taft read the indictment to the ju-
ry, District Attorney Hibbard following
with the opening of the case for the Com
monwealth.
He gave an outline OF the prosecution,
bringing out the fact that the supposed
sopement of Mrs. Coy and Whalen was
probably part of the scheme, as Coy gave
the woman money with which to go to
Albany the day before the murder. Mr..
lIibbard occupied an hour and a half.
The court then ordered all witnesses,
With the exception of the medical eX-
Dcrts, excluded from the court room.
William F. Palmer OF Otis bought grass
IN Whalen's farm August 2Sth, the day
before the murder, giving in payment q
silver watch. The watch found on Coy
vas shown witness and identified as The
same one.
Thomas Harrington of Otis gave wha-
len a note for 800 the same day. Fred
Webster OF West Beckett saw Whalen cash
a note at Lee National bank the next day.
Milton T. Abbott, night switchman at
Washington, testified regarding the
movements OF Coy and Whalen on the
day Of the murder.
The trial srouses great interest, the
court room being crowded to its fullest
capacity. The Judges allow no crowding,
excluding spectators after the seats are
illed. Counsel are of the opinion that
the case will go to the jury "Wednesday
afternoon.
