NADEAu WHO SHOT M'NALLY.
A Description of the Man and Particulars
of the Assault.

The Fort Kent correspondent OF the
Bangor News, who is personally &C
quainted with Nadeau, the assailant of
Deputy United States Marshal McNally,
and who has also a perfect knowledge OF
all the incidents of the affair, thus writes
Of the man who is creating such stir
just now in Maine:
George Nadeau, the man who shot
Deputy United States Marshal McNally,
March 20, is still at liberty. He is about
45 years of age, medium height, very
dark skin, weighs about 100 and has an
ugly face. He was born in ST. Francis.
Damos Nadeau, his father, came from
parts unknown and was not any connec-
ton of the Madawaska Nadeaus. He
was a shingle shaver and raised a large
family on the proceeds of his work. He
was honest and hard working man, but
was quick tempered. George inherits
both his honesty and his temper. He is
very ignorant man, having no educa-
ton whatever. He is supposed to be a
full blooded Frenchman, but some peo-
pie claim there is Indian blood in him.
He has farm, and is hard working
man. He trades a great deal at Fort
Kent, and could get almost any amount
of goods today on his promise to pay.
ssThree years ago an old man by the
name of Alexander Desroisers gave Ma
deau some property, and Nadeau prom
ised to take care of him the remainder of
his life. but the old man tired of inactiv-
ity and commenced to sell a little of the
ardent to make little money for him
self. He was arrested in the summer of
1889, and got so days in Houlton Jail. At
the time of his arrest there were few
bottles of gin in the house, and George
sold that out and stopped the business.
Some time after Nadeau was hauling
supplies into the woods for some lum-
bermen, and they advised him to get a
little liquor and said they would buy it
from time to time, and it would be an ac-
commodation to them and source of
profit to him, He took their advice and
SOlu Ull0 SLulL SlA u ooNcu WCCho oAu oliCA
stopped This was about a year ago,
and he has not sold any since, so his
neighbors say. He now thinks that as
he is not selling he is not liable to the
law. and also thought that McNally had
no right to take him on Sunday. He
hates McNally and thinks he is all to
blame for his, prosecution. Nadeau has
been expecting Mentally after him all
winter, and has been prepared for him.
He had said he would shoot to scare or
wound in the legs and he now says he
will shoot to kill next time. He keeps
himself shut up in his own house, which
is built of logs and makes a very good
fort, and is on the watch all the time.
1t is said that he has six Winchester ri
fles in the house all ready for action and
also two revolvers. He is all the time
expecting some one to arrest him, and it
is hardly safe for any one to go near the
house, as in his present state of mind he
is liable to shoot any one he may see
coming towards the house. He has GER
tain notions of self defence and in his ig-
norance thinks he is justified in doing
as he does.

THE wINpHAM ASSAULT CASE.
Fred Nadeau Bound Over to the May
Term of Court.

Fred Nadeau had his trial for the as
sault ON Bellefontaine, in the Municipal
Court yesterday morning, Recorder
Tompson presiding. County Attorney
Robinson managed the case for the state,
and William Lyons of Westbrook was
the attorney for Nadeau. Sheriff Cram
testified to the prisoner having told him
that he did commit the assault in the
manner alleged, and three Windham wit
nesses told the story as far as they could
be induced to do SO, but it was drawn
out of them with evident reluctance.
Mr.. Lyons did not furnish any testimony
but relied upon misleading of the war
rant for the discharge of his client. The
court, however, overruled his point, and
bound the respondent over to the May

THE CASE AGAINST cusHMAN.
Beginning of the Hearing in the United
States Court.

The case of the Portland Steam Packet
Company against Warden Cushman, on
account of the Holsters seized by the lat
ter on the fremont on the evening of
December 31st, was begnn before Judge
Webb in the United States Court yester-
day forenoon. Benjamin Thompson,
ESQ.,, appeared for the company and
Geo. E. Bird, Esq, appeared for Warden
Cushman.
The first witness was Captain Craig of
the fremont, who testified that they left
at 7.04 O. clock, December 81, and stopped
in harbor IA minutes from the dock.
That brought the fremont about off
Cushings Island Point. The towboat
James Sampson came alongside, and put
on board II barrels of Holsters. She then
left, and the fremont started along.
About the time of starting, Mate Thomp-
son sent for the captain to come below
He went and found Warden Cushman
there. He had seized the Holsters. Cap
tain Craig asked Cushman if he had a
warrant for Selling the fish. Cushman
replied that he did not, and didn't need
any, claiming a right to seize Holsters
anywhere in Maine waters without a
warrant. Captain Craig asked him if he
could show any law, and the warden did
produce book of law which seemed to
justify him. He then measured Is or
100 of the HOLSTERS; and then threw all of
the barrels overheard. Captain Craig
could not say whether there were labels
showing destination on the barrels. The
captain said that the Warden measured
the Holsters in but two barrels.
MateThompson and other witnesses for
the prosecution were examined, and
then the case was adjourned to
Tuesday at 10 clock.

A RECOVERED TREASURE.

had sort Of throbbing in my head,
And felt tiny bit too tired to play.
SO mother came and put me into bed,
Although il was the middle Of the day..
Then everything grew very dark and hot,
And in my ears heard humming sound:
] did not know II it was night or not
Because the room went Keeling round and
round.
But kept dreaming, dreaming all the time
About my garden, and the robins nest;
About dig trees should have liked to climb,
And my new engine that love the best
And in my dreams man would hold my hand
And ask me kindly: Had any pain?
And do strange things l could not understand,
And then his face would fade away again.
The sun was shining brightly when woke;
said to mother, who was by my side:
II want my engine, mother" When spoke
cannot think why mother should have cried!
1t was so nice to leave that tiresome room,
And run into the garden on my feet;
l found my red carnations all in bloom,
And oh, my mignonette did smell so sweet
Now father brings me crowds and crowds OF
toys,
And rides me when like upon his knee,
And "tCer says: Not good for little boys"
So mother tells him he is spelling me.

But his manners were affability and

Speaker Crisp almost never enters the

Trained Dogs in War.

Dogs in some instances carry con-
else dispatch in small metal case fast
ened to the collar, and this certainly
seems to have the advantage of secu-
rity, as attracting the least possible
amount of attention; whereas the
leather letter case hanging from the
coll ar, or the two leather pockets at
tached to a strap passing under the
body and kept in position by second
strap across the chest, though, of
course, available for bulkier documents,
is undoubtedly more conspicuous, and
more liable to render the dog an object
OF suspicion and a mark for bullet.
BY similar arrangement of straps the
war dog is enabled to carry a small
case of ammunition, and is thus made
useful on the outward march, ere he is
dispatched on his solitary journey as
military postman. Some sanguine
trainers even hope that dogs may be
trained to return to the munition wagons
during the heat of battle, to bring fresh
supplies to the fighters, regardless Of
all danger from shell and bullets. 1t
would seem more natural to enlist their
services as water carriers to bring drink
TO the wounded and dying. - Black

whole house. Upon these occasions,
the speaker appoints some one of the
most experienced members as chairman
of the committee of the whole, and to
him resigns the gavel The house re-
mains in such committee sometimes day
after day for week, and during such
periods, whether they be of an hour or
longer duration, the speaker may re-
turn to his private room to transact
public and private business and outline
the prospective legislation of the sue
ceeding days and weeks. The speak
er's room is presumed to be his sanctu-
airy, place the floor of which is sacred
soil to be trod by none other than him
self; but the sanctuary would be con-
stantly invaded if the people anxious
for the speakers ear and the speakers
eye could always have access to him.
Between the door of the house next to
the speakers desk, and the room next
to the speakers room, there is long,
wide, roomy corridor. whose ceilings
are gilded with pure gold, known as the
speakers lobby. In this great hall
way. again and again, especially when
they have been worried by affairs of
state and personally abused, with GRIM
ination and recriminat:on upon their
rulings l have seen speakers of the
house walk back and forth by the hour,
revolving in that quiet place plans for
future action. Mr.. Speaker Crisp has
very seldom used the speakers lobby,
although occasionally he has done so.
Mr.. Reed, during the last congress,
was more often seen upon the floor OF
the house, mingling among the mem
bers than were eitker his predecessor,
Mr.. Carlisle, or his successor, Mr..
Crisp. twas his custom to refuse all
access to himself until the public bust
ness before him was attended to. That
having been done, he sometimes en-.
tered the house and walked about the
| aisles, or stood in front of the speakers
| desk for an hour or more, before the
house was called to order. Upon such
occasions he talked with unrestraineC
freedom, not only to members of the
house, but to newspaper men and who
ever else might address him. He useC
to walk up and down the long speaker
lobby with his hands hanging loose al
his side in careless manner, as though
devoid of thought or interest in sur
rounding events; and at such times
visitors standing at the remote doors
through which they might not enter

MIR. CRISP LISTENS TO A BORE. >

speaker announces the order of bust
ness for the consideration of the house.
AS presiding officer, he is one of the
ablest, most graceful and dignifed
within generation. He occupies the
chair a greater portion of the time,
although occasionally, when it becomes
necessary for him to leave the room, he
calls Mr.. McMi1lin, of Tennessee, Mr..
Blount, of Georgia, or some other dis
tinguished parliamentarian, to act as
speaker pro temporc.
You will probably want to know why
so many members of the house of rep
resentativss are anxious to see the
speaker in his room or in his lobby. 1t
is absolutely necessary to have an ar
rangement made directly with the
speaker beforehand if any representa-
tive would be certain of recognition in
the house when he rises in his seat to
address the chair. No matter how
many men may be upon their feet clam
oring for recognition, the speaker never
sees nor hears any of them except the
few to whom he has given promise of
recognition beforehand. Members who
are anxious to secure the passage of
public building bills, private pension
bills, war claim bills, or other measures
of interest to their constituents, might
howl themselves hoarsc and shout "Mr.
Speaker" until the close of the session
without securing single mark Of
recognition from the occupant of the
chair, unless the speaker had previous
ly agreed to give such recognition, and
had the name of the member written
upon slip Of paper upon his desk be-
fore him. 1t is always necessary for
I the speaker to know exactly what
measure each member desires to bring
before the attention of the house, and
it is his duty to decide the Importance
OF such measures to the country at large
in comparison with other measures Of
Importance which chairmen of the
leading committees desire to bring be-
fore the house. Therefore, every mem
Der of congress feels that it is incumbent
upon himself as good representative
of his constituents to see the speaker
and present his case to that master of
the situation in order to gain recogni-
ton and secure legislation for his peo-
! pie. Thus you will see that it is the
speaker who is the autocrat of all legis-
lation; and in him is concentrated more
power than in all the chairmen Of COM
mittees and all members Of the house
combined. He dictates what measures
shall be considered and what shall not
receive consideration. He is more pow
erful than any officer of the general
government, next to the president of
| the United States. But his position
carries with it responsibilities and
labors which test the physical strength
and intellectual powers of man in a
remarkable degree. Altogether, the
position is as full of trouble as it is OF
honor. SMITH D. FRY.
