LIVING L. HILLS CASE.
Expert Testimony Concerning Arsenical
Poisoning-The Respondent
on the Stand.

ALFRED, Me-, June 14.-In the case Of
State VS.. Living L. Hill, accused of at
tempting to poison his wife, the prosecu-
ton finished its evidence today. Late
yesterday, Professor E. S. Wood, of the
Harvard Medical School, testified to re-
ceiving a bottle of a solution of arsenic
from James L. Ripley of Boston.
Ripley, who is detective, had testified
that this bottle was found in Hills
apartments in Boston.
Professor Wood also testified to find
ing traces of arsenic in samples of wine
sent him from Mrs. Hill. On cross-ex-
animation he said that if Mrs. Hill had
slept upon red bed clothing, arsenical
poisoning might be due to arsenic in the
coloring matter in the cloth. On redirect
examination, Professor Wood said if a
person were sleeping on red-striped bed
ticking right along, the arsenic would
show no diminution so long as the per-
son slept on it.
Mrs. Hill recalled said she had slept
on such mattress during her illness
and was still sleeping ON it.
The state also presented the testimony
of Mary A. Patten, who said that she
had been engaged to Hill. who had rep
resented to her that he was unmarried.
The respondent was the first witness
for the defence. He denied that he had
attempted to poison his wife. His ap-
pearance made a favorable impression.

Nearly Million Dollars Loss by Fire in
Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, June 13.--Fire, broke out
this afternoon on the Old Bay line

the wharf was destroyed. It was 500
feet long and had 200 feet water front.
The wharf had on it a large warehouse,
a big laundry and new office building.
The steamers Carolina and CASTOR lying
at the wharf were badly
damaged. Lying at Cochrane
Oler's wharf, southeast of the burning
pier were the four-masted ice schooners

The flames caught the rigging of the
schooners. Tugs towed them to safety
andthe flames were quickly conquered but
considerable damage was done. Lying
at the Cochrane Oler wharf was the four
masted schooner Augustus Welt, which
arrived yesterday from Bath, Me-, with a
cargo of ice, for her owners. A sheet of
flame shot from the burning wharf and
soon the Welt was mass of

Welt was loaded with 1921 tons
of Maine ice and 1000 are in the hold al

A SENSATION IN BATH.
Clergymen and Spoilers Enforcing the
Liquor Law.
Ispecial to the Press. !


BATH, Me-, June 14-Some weeks ago.
a few of the clergymen Of Bath put their
heads together and decided that the pub
lie good demanded a stricter enforcement
of the liquor law. The service of de-
tective was secured, and still hunt be-
gun. The man who today is an object of
hatred to the saloon keepers of the city
is named Devine. He is former lieu
tenant of Sheriff Cram. His companions
are named Smith andlWyman. Their
method was to go into a saloon and ask
for liquor, which, when produced, they
drank, and then sWole out a warrant
against the saloon keeper for keeping a
drinking house and tippling shop. This
morning, in the municipal court, nine
persons responded to these warrants.
The cases called were those of George A.
Smith, James E. Wakefield, L. J. Ham,
Joseph Kelley, Patsey Glare, w. W.
Whitney, George W. Brown, E. S. Dun
ton and Mary King. All plead not gull
ty and waived examination. They were
ordered to recognize in the sum of 5000
for their appearance at the August term
OF the S. j. conrt.
The saloon keepers are somewhat tax
en- by surprise. 1t is understood that
several more cases are to come up to-
morrow. These include certain Of the
hotels, and rumor has it that some of the
drug stores are also included.
There were four Bath clergymen at the
hearing this morning, Messrs. Lewis,
White, Wood and Pendexter. The latter
had grip containing ten bottles, which
the spoilers had ohtairsl at the various
saloons. The affair has created consid-
cradle excitement in the city.
Devine testified that he belonged in
Boston, and was employed in the United
States revenue service. He was trans
ferred to Portland to serve under Sheriff
Cram. His associate, Smith, was for
merly a policeman in Portland. The
third man, Wyman, was chief witness in
sixteen cases at the recent term of the
York county Supreme Judicial Court.
William E. Hogan appeared for the
state at the hearing today, and Joseph
M. Trott and f. L. Staples for the re-
spondents. At 4 o'clock security had
been obtained by all the respondents but

UNDER FALSE PRETENcEs.
A Young Man Accused of Thus Procuring
Wife.

BELFAST, June IA somewhat re-
markable case has just CONG up here, a
bridegroom of last Saturday now Ian
gushing in Jail on serious charge, the
offense being in non-legal terms. that of
obtaining wife under false pretences.
The young man is Leonard Tenney of
Northport, and it is claimed that, in or
der to procure the necessary papers from
the city clerk, to enable him to marry
Edith Wescott of this city, he forged
her fathers name to a written consent
to the marriage, she being under age.
This naturally angered the paternal
Wescott, and he had the young man ar
rested for forgery. The case was
brought before Judge Rogers, in the po-
lice court, but was continued to Thurs
day, and the respondent was committed.

WE And OUR NEIGHBORS.
British Schemes to Alternate the
Canadian Colonies.
THEIR DESIRE FOR UNION ALARMS
JOHN BULL.

So Members from All the Colonies VIII
Discuss Plan of Free Trade Between
the Mother Country and Her Depen-
denotes and Protection Against the
Equal Representation Will Also Be
Considered.
TORONTO, Ont, June 13.-Delerates
depart this week from almost every
board of trade in the Dominion to attend
the session of the Associated Chambers
of Commerce of the British Empire
which every five years assemblies in Lon
don. Interest in the coming session is
largely augmented by the proposal to
discuss the relations hereafter to exist
between Great Britain and her colonies.
This has special reference to their feder-
alton so as to be on an equality with the
mother country, with not only represent
alton in the imperial parliament, but en-
tire absence of tariff between them,
and with a tariff against all other coun-
tries. One result of this proposal would
be discrimination in favor of the colonies
throughout the British empire against
the cotton, wheat and other food pro-
ducts from the United States, while
practical free trade between England
and Canada would follow. This, it is
alleged, would enormously stimulate ag-
rlcultural production in Canada, increase
immigration, and would necessitate
along the whole NORTHERN border of the
United States a Gordon of custom house
police to shut out the cheap goods from
Great Britain. 1t is claimed that this
would be such reversal of policy. both
by the mother country and her chief col
ony as to materially alter the relations
existing between the latter and the
United States, as this would attach Can
ada to the British connection, DESTROY
the wish for political union, and effectu-
ally postpone the constant progress
made in favor of reciprocal or CONNER
cial union.
Erastus Wiman who departs this week
for London for the special purpose of
watching these proceedings has applied
for credentials from the Toronto Board
OF Trade in order to participate in the
discussion. There is considerable oppo-
sition to this action on the part of the
board, as it is believed that those who
seek to obliterate the commercial bar
fiers between Canada and the United
States are disloyal to British interests.
-Onthe other hand many feel that the
conference will be incomplete without
the attendance of representative who
thoroughly understands the question
with respect to both the United States
and Canada.

RAN INTO A FREIGHT.
This Accident Will Cost the Boston 4

GRoToN, Mass, June 14.-Passenger
train No. 10 on the Worcester & Nashua
division of the Boston 6 Maine ran into
the rear end of an extra freight near this
town late last night. Two cars were
smashed and the engine turned up. The
engine itself is worthless. The property
loss is $4,000. Engineer Whittemore
got caught in the wreck and was burned
and internally injured, but was extricat-
ed. His fireman jumped. 1t seems that
the freight conductor claims that he sent
a red light back Immediately after his
train broke apart.
