SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

With the exception of the case of Thomas.
Harper there will be no trial of m UGH import
ance at this term. The prospect is that ali the
felony cases except possibly one will be disposed
0fwithout a trial, or in other words the respon-
dents will plead guilty. q There was no trial Sat
urday forenoon. In the afternoon the case of
Albert N. Parlin, trustee, against John H.
Lakln, was argued on the part of the plaintiff
by Mr.. Jesse c. Ivy of Boston, and for the de-
PENDANT by Mr.. Samuel j. Elder of Boston. The
evidence in the case was taken out before Judge
Bonney last Monday and Tuesday. 1t is suit
upon promisS ~ notes amounting to about $13,-
900, Signed by the defendent given to George

E5The defendant claims that the notes were
given to Cl3pp as mere memoranda OF the
amount that he, Clapp, was putting into an in
vention and applications for patents for cash

Which the defendant and his brother controlled.

That Aroostook Lynching.
he Fditor of tbe Press.

To the Editor Of the Press: j.
I noticed in your issue of Tuesday an
article from the New York Sum- in re-
gard to a lynching that took place in
Aroostook county a few years ago.
The article in the main is true but
there are one or two mistakes I should
like to correct.
1t says that .'Swanback was found dead
in the woods four days after, from fright
and exposure Swanback lived years
after. It also states that it was three
days after Cullen was lynched before he
was taken down and buried. The article
is correct up to the lynching.
The sheriff party consisted of a doc
tor and a party of men, who went up to
the camp where the murder was com
mitted, in hopes of finding the remains
of Sheriff Hayden and Mr.. Hubbard, but
finding nothing but ashes they returned
to Ball Mills in the early evening and
started with the sheriff and his men tt
take Cullen to Presaue Isle. but were
surprised by party of masked men who
sprung from the woods by roadside
Overpowering the sheriff and his party
and putting rope around Cullen's neck
they strung him up, and after he hao
hung sometime they took the doctor W
who pronounced him dead. The masked
men disappeared as by magic, the
sheriff's party took the body down and
took it to Presque Isle arriving early the
next morning. ne
The town authorities could not find {
woman who would make his shroud bu
after good deal Of trouble they engaged
A. man who made ii and that aftarnoon hi
was buried in the loneliest part Of a lone
~ swamp. So you see that in less thar
lynohed he was buried.

THE PLUSH MILL.
Meeting of the stockholders and Creditors
Held Saturday.

The meeting Of the stockholders
of the plush mill was held at the
rooms of the Board Of Trade Satur-
day afternoon. President Frederick H.
ROBBIE presided.
Mr.. Thomas P. Beals, chairman of a
committee appointed alta previous meet
ing to ascertain if anything could be
done by the stockholders to raise funds
to pay off the debts of the company and
create sufficient working capital re-
ported that the labor of the committee
had not been satisfactory, that he found
but little interest among the, stockhold-
ers and the public to advance money as
subscribers to preferred stock, and as at
present advised but little could be done
in the way Of raising money by the sale
of the mortgage bonds of the company.
He recommended that an effort be made
to exchange the mortgage bonds of the
company for indebtedness held by the
creditors of the company, thus liquidat-
ing the Indebtedness of the company,
and giving the stockholders and others
an opportunity and time to raise addi-
tional money to prosecute the work OF
the mill. Mr.. Achroyd favored this
plan. Some of the creditors present OBJ
iected to this method of raising funds,
and the recommendation did not seem
to n . 1t with fa7or.
- nf
Thomas P. Beals, Geo. P. Wescott and
VIM. T. Studley were appointed as an
advisory committee, to confer with the
president in case it became necessary to
sell the property of the company to pay
its debts.
The meeting then adjourned to Sat
urday, May 9th, at room 30, First Ma
tional Bank building.
At the adjournment of the stockhold-
ers, meeting of the creditors was held.
The president informed the meeting
that there was quite a quantity of I'M
finished manufactured material at the
mill, valued at $4,000, or more, which
would have to be disosed OF at quite a
loss unless finished for the market, and
that it would require from five to eight
hundred dollars to do this work. It
could be done by MI. Achroyd at the
mill or by parties in Philadelphia OF
elsewhere.
After thoroughly discussing the situar
ton, an advisory. committee of three,
consisting of Albion Little. Spencer
Rogers and G. P. Babcock, were APP
pointed to consult with the assignee
concerning the unfinished product and
other matters.
The meeting was then adjournment TIC
Saturday, May 9th, at $50 o'clock, al
the same place.

Hon. A. M. Spear of Gardiner, has
been investigating the validity of the dog
law which has been questioned in some
quarters and has run across several court
decisions in Massachusetts where they
have a law very similar to that in Maine.
According to these the law is perfectly
constitutional and aconstable can enter
any enclosure or even dwelling to kill
an unlicensed dog, providing he does not
break the peace or break open doors
These decisions also tdeclare that it
makes no difference regarding the force
OF the law whether notices are posted or
not. 1t also appeared that the Massa-
chusetts court holds that the dog is no t
a domestic animal, over which point
there has been so much discussion in
this state.
