INDICTED FOR LIQUOR SELLING.
The Kennebec Grand Jury and the
Druggists.

Augusta, September 11.-Among the
indictments reported by the grand jury
was one against Herbert Ballard, former
ly colonel of the First Regiment and
captain of Co. F., for embezzlement of
$512 of the funds of the company.
Ballard acted as treasurer of the company
and managed the hall used as an armory
which is often let for anusements. He
has always claimed that he had turned
over the money, but investigation, it
is alleged, showed him to owe that
amount and the company has been un-
able to collect. He is now confined to
his house by illness and has not been
taken into custody.
Many of the druggists in Augusta,
Hallowell and Gardiner are indicted for
violation of the liquor law. In all
there were 81 indictments, 63 being for
violations of the liquor law. Only part
of the indictments are made public.

PuGH'S DEFIANCE.
The Silver Orators VIII Talk cs Long as
They Have ePower of Speech.

Washington, September 11.-In the
Senate today, Senator Pugh spoke in
opposition to the repeal Of the Sherman
act and wound up his speech by declar-
ing that it was the determined and un-
alterable purpose Of the opponents of re-
peal to oppose the bill until their physical
strength was exhausted and until they
had lost the power of speech. He was
followed by Mr.. Teller, Rep, of Colorado,
in continuation of his speech begun last
Saturday He went on to show by. ex-
tracts from weekly trade, reports the
prosperous condition of the. country in
the early part of 1883
Mr.. Teller declared that the United
States had not lost gold since the first Of
July, 1888, and that the amount of gold
now here was $500, 200, 900. He referred
to the tremendous losses in the New
York stock market, estimated as high as
$500, ,000, 600 and by some attributed to
the Sherman law. He undertook to show
that the Sherman law had nothing to do
with them. He instanced the collapse of
the Northern Pacific, Reading and Erie
railroads and said that these roads were
practically insolvent and e:distur Dances
referred to had not come from the Sher
man law, but from misconduct of rail-
road officials 1t was the same with in
dustrial stocks. He did not claim that
Congess could touch the question of
dealings in stocks in New York, but no
Senator could shut his eyes to the fact
that the proceedings in the New York
Stock Exchange had much to do with
creating good or bad times.
Here Mr.. Teller paused and Mr.. voorhees,
proposed an executive session. Before
yielding, Mr.. Teller said he would quit
for the present, but would take up
another point in the case on some other
day. After an executive session, the
Senate adjourned.

fore Judge Burbank III the Saco munich

soft hat and other property at their room
in the Whitmore building at the time
tho search was made for stolen goods.
Marr and Smith, it will be remembered,
were arrested shortly after the Hamlen
burglary, on suspicion of having made
that break. They were taken to Port
land and released the next day, no evil
dence being found against them.
Mr.. Hoyt is relative of Mr.. Hamlen,
and member OF Jne party VINO nave
cottages at Grand Beach. The story of
this affair as brought out in court was
that Mrs. White, a member of the Ham
len family, had seen Marr and Smith in
the vicinity of the cottages before and
after the burglary. She recognized
them the second time and followed them
back to Old Orchard. Mr.. Hoyt fol
lowed Mrs. White, and the two succeed

New York, September 11.-America is

grafton of which the orators speak so
often, has for the first time in thirty
years turned to one of emigration. This
phase of the hard times-for due to the
hard times it is believed to be-has
passed unnoticed save by the agents of
transatlantic steamship lines.

country" said Dr. CLAWS, representative
of the North German Lloyd and other
steamship companies, yesterday, "to one
that is coming here. 1t has been going
on for some time. The steerage of the

How do you account for it?" DR..
CLAWS was asked.
Probably the hard times in this
country are responsible for it," he said.
sMany people have been thrown out of
work through the closing of mills and
factories and the stopping of various en-

be cheaper to return to the old country,

it is here, and await the return of pros

time in thirty years when the tide of
immigration has set in away from and
