Justice Mason's Instructions In the
Lawrence "Boodle" Trial.
SALEM. Mass, June l6-The trial Of
John III. Bolton, the Lawrence alderman
charged with taking bribe, was finished
in the superior court yesterday afternoon.
5 O'Clock had not agreed. The court
took recess until today. 1t was an

The jury took the case at 2:30, and up to
tried until fall, and the other jurors were
dismissed
Chief Justice Mason, in his charge, spoke
with much evident feeling and with the
greatest solemnity, telling the jurors that
the charge was indeed one Of exceeding
gravity. 1t was not to be wondered that
any one should pause to reflect upon it.
Such an act endangers the right and the
welfare of every citizen Of the community.
Such reflections may well stipulate all
Others to be faithful in the discharge Of
official duties.
You would be guilty Of perjury IL you
should conscientiously return a verdict
for the commonwealth that was not fully
established. You would be equally guilty
ifyou within eld verdict for the common
wealth II you were conscious it was called
for by the evidence. The court relies upon
you for fearless discharge of the duties
imposed on you. No popular clamor
can control your action for the govern
ment, and no sentiment of sympathy
cause you to lean to the defendant. The
single question Of Bottoms receiving 5000
from James H. Welden, under promise to
use his vote, Is all there is before you.

IN BEHALF OF IRELAND.
John Redmond Gives New Workers
an Outline of His Mission.
Resolutions OF Endorsement offered by
the Large Audience.

NEW YORK, June 16. John f. Red
mond was rendered rousing reception ut
the Academy OF Music last night. Judge
Lynn presided. Judge Lynn said Mr.
Redmond had come to speak for his coun-
try and not for faction. His mission was
for peace.
Mr.. Redmond said there was not an
Irishman in any part Of the world who
did not feel the blessed Influence OF the
national movement Of the last ten years
In Ireland Parnell taught Irishmen self
respect and self-reliance. Today the ma
tional unity has been destroyed; the ma
tonal leader Is dead. Distracted, the ma
tional Irish national party looks around
in vain for man to take that place.
Mr. Redmond declared that the follow
ers Of Parnell were not responsible for the
rupture In the Irish party, and they pro
posed to bring the disunion to an end. He
emphasized the necessity Of a party OF
Irish politicians In parliament absolutely
independent of every English political
party. Mr.. Redmond said he and his col
leagues desired union upon the lines
which 7. p. O'Connor laid down in the
speech which Messrs O'Brien and Dillon,
Sexton and Mccarthy approved.
Resolutions of endorsement were
adopted, and s2l00 was raised in answer to
Mr.. Redmond's appeal for funds.

Will Fight the Barber Bill.

BIDDEFoRD, Me-, June 16-The cele'
brated Saco poisoning case, which has
been on trial three days in the York
county supreme court at Alfred, ended Iii
the aequittal OF the respondent, Living L.
Hill of Boston. Hill was charged with
sending his wife a poisoned ham. The
chief point upon which the prosecution
was based was the analysis made by Pro-
fessor Wood of the Harvard medical
school, who found traces Of arsenic In
Mrs. Hill's urine.
1t was brought out that the relations
between Mr.. and Mrs. Hill were not very
congenial. and that he had offered to give
her $500 TO get divorce from him. Eight
witnesses testified for the defendant, evil
dence being introduced to show that Hill
sent the ham in the same barrel with
other meats and vegetables, and shipped
them to Amos Libby. North Saco, with
instructions to divide them with Mrs.
Hill, but none Of the packages were
marked with the name Of the recipient.
The evidence OF the prosecution that de-
tectives found bottle Of Fowler's solu-
tion of arsenic on a table in Mrs. Bunnell's
house in Boston, where Hill boarded. was
met by Mrs. Bunnells deposition In
which she declared that the bottle was
hers. DIR. Davenport gave expert testimony
concerning arsenical poisoning,a and Profes-
sor Robinson testified that in the analysis
OF Mrs. Hill's urine, sent to him, no trace
of arsenic WAS found The defense intro
duced testimony tending To show that
Mrs HIPS sickness might have been due
to arsenic in the wall paper In her room,
or in a colored quilt on her bed.

in Regard to Committees.

Both branches of the City Government
met last night and disposed of consider
able business. 1t has been the policy of
tho Democrats, with possibly one excep-
tion, since the Inauguration OF the city
government this year, that matters should
be referred to the appropriate committees
and considered by them before being
acted upon. Acting on that principle
last night no opposition was offered TO
any reference Of such business as was
presented. Mr.. Carroll, however, stated
in the Board meeting that all matters
should be considered by the committees
named by him in order to be legal, as there
was no modification or repeal OF the
existing ordinances To allow of commit
tees being elected.

Report from baltimore Says IL Will
Mako Place for General AgnuA
BALTIMORE, June i6.-One OF the most
prominent Republicans in the city re-
ceived communication from President
Harrison yesterday. which speaks In
glowing terms of General Felix Agnus'
services to the administration during the
past four years. The gentleman who re-
ceived the letter said:
"The president finds 1t necessary to
place southern man In the cabinet. 1t Is
an expedient aud wise move, but there is
no one close enough to the president In
the south to be created secretary OF state.
The final arrangement will be found to be
that Secretary Tracy will be given the
portfolio Of state. Secretary Elkins will be
put In charge Of the navy department, and
General Agnus will be created secretary
OF war.
"The expedency Of this move Is easily
discernable It will be carrying out the
presidents policy OF enlisting the personal
services of proprietors Of great Republi-
can journals. General Agnus is consid-
cred representative Republican In the
south and has great deal Of influence,
and his appointment Is expected TO heal
the factional differences In Baltimore
city, and furthermore, the general Is emil
nently equipped for the position"

Percy 81. Clair of Lynn Writes y Letter
to His Deserted Wife.
LYNN, Mass, June l6.-Percy st. Clair
and Bertha Colony, who disappeared
from Lynn last Monday, have been heard
from. Mrs. St Clair, the deserted young
wife, has received letter from her hus
band In which he confessed that he had
been untrue to his marriage vows, and he
painted himself as most despicable
wretch, unworthy OF pity or forgiveness
He induced the Colony girl TO fee with
him and averred In the strongest terms
that she was blameless The letter was q
lengthy missive, and recited facts which
Mrs. st. Clair did not care to divulge, and
there is evidently skeleton being
screened for purpose not yet apparent.
st. Clair stated in the epistle, which
was of n farewell nature, that upon the re-
ceipt he would be upon the water, evi-
IDENTIFY intending to convey the impression
that he intended crossing the ocean.
Not only is st. Clair amenable for alb
Quoting the girl and violating the mar
riage laws Of the state, but he is
thief, il not foIger. The day upon
which the absconding piano agent left
Lynn he called at the Office of the Lynn
Loan company for the ostensibe purpose
Of conversing with John ii. Greenwood,
manager of the concern. There was
check for 500 on Greenwood desk, which
ST. Clair stole. This check the fugitive
cashed in Boston, probably by forging the
indorement. and a warra,t will be issued
for his apprehension.

Brocktons "sass" the Umpire and the Game
IL Broken Up.
Yesterday Captain Nc Gunnigle's team
OF "Has Beens" from the city OF shoes,
Brot kton. arrived In this city to play
game of ball, but went back without
playing the game and leaving very poor
impression on the people OF this city.
One inning was played. The Paw
tuckets went to bat, and Hamill hit safe,
stole second and came home on Captain
Jordan's safe hit between center and right
field. This ended the home teams half.
For the Brocktons "Old Man" McGun-
nagle fouled out to Cronin, and then the
basses were filed. BY very sharp and
pretty throw to third Condor caught Doe
of third base.
Umpire Kelliher called him out, but
Doe refused to go. Again the umpire told
him to 60 to the bench when he walked
into the diamond to the pitchers box
where Kelliher was standing, and began
using abusive language.
He called the umpire liar, etc, ana he
was fined s5 and ordered out OF the game
NiSpuhhuBic uhu w Collc III from IlSul
field and make him go to the bench.
Doe said IL he was fined he would thrash
Kelliher.
The visitors were retired without run
and when they went to take the field Doe
started to go out and kelliher told him no
could not play. McGunnagle said he had
no other man, although Lincoln was on
the bench in uniform.
He refused to take Doe out and after
waiting the proper length OF time umpire
kelliher gave the game to Pawtucket.
McGunnagle showed a good deal Of
ugliness and said he would never play
again in Pawtucket.
He refused to play off the tie game that
was played here or to play an exhibition
game.
They got no guarantee and the money
was given back to the spectators.
When McGunnagle said he would not
play here again Captain Jordan remarked
that II would not be much OF loss to
play without him.
The umpire did perfectly right.

with every prospect of success. This iudg-
ment IL sustained by an analysis of the po-
litical probabilities in the election returns
of the forty -four states OF the Union, which
will contribute their electoral votes for
the candidates Of one or the other of the
two great political parties in November
next. The prospects, statistically speak

These states altogether will cast 2l1

than a majority Of the electoral college

Fall Of a Bridge Over the Licking
River in Kentucky.
Seven Missing and Many Injured in the
Terrible Accident.

CINCINNATI. June l6.-The false work
OF the new bridge being built over the
Licking river between Covington and
Newport, KY. fell yesterday. The con-
structon of the bridge was begun last
fall and was to have been used, when
completed, for ot-passenger and street
railway traffic. The false work ran up
fifty feet from the water. Not a stick of
the false work from pier to pier remains,
and the river was filled with timbers
and iron work.
News of the terrible accident spread
rapidly, and soon a crowd OF hundreds had
ga, hered and the work of rescuing the bod
les began at once. The dead and wounded
were carried away In patrol wagons as
fast as possible. The accident Is sup
posed to be due to the heavy weight OF the
iron floors, the support Of the false work
not being strong enough.
There were about sixty-eight persons on
and about the bridge when IL fell. The
following is a revised list of the killed and
missing:
Dead: c. J.C.Semple of Boston. Thomas
Down, William Roby, j. X. Roby, Elmer
Barber. William Alois, g. w. Pfafenbach,
Dick German. John Adams, Frank Ad-
ans, Robert Baird. Andrew Baird, Charles
Gresham, Edward Sullivan, James John
son, Dennis Harlow, E. A. Nolan, Charles
STILL, Charles Tyre, William Burton, Pat
rick Murray.
The missing: Martin Luther, Frank
Muir George Burge, N. w. burton, Will
lam Wesling, Fred Brant. Dick Adams.
The Baird brothers were the contrac-
tors who were constructing the bridge,
and were inspecting the work when the
disaster happened.
Twenty-Five men were injured, some
fatally.
