A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Rev. Delbert G. Donnalker Brought to
Maine on Charge of Rape.

Yesterday, Sheriff Cram returned
from Massachusetts, with Rev. Delbert
G. Donnaker of Brockton, in that state,
who is wanted here to answer to charge
of rape made against him by young
woman named Ella Gilman, living in
Scarboro. The charges made by Miss
Gilman were presented to the grand jury
at the present term, and they found an
Indictment for rape. The circumstances
of the case are in brief as follows: Rev.
Mr.. Donnaker is Free viii Baptist cler-
gyman, student at Bates for a time, and
man of education. He came to Scar
boro first as the pastor of the Free VIII
Baptist church, and later as prin-
cipal of the town high school.
He is a young man about 80
years of age, of pleasing appearance and
manners, and was very popular in Scar
boro. While teaching the high school
he boarded with a family named Gilman.
He had at that time, and still has, a wife
and two children, but they remained at
Lewiston while he was at Scarboro. On
the 18th of last March the Gilman girl
gave birth to a child, of which she de-
clared Mr.. Donnaker to be the father,
and also charged him with the crime of
rape. Mr.. Donnaker was, at that time,
pastor of church at Brockton, Mass,
where he was living with his wife and
children.
The case was presented to the grand
jury with the result above stated. Sher-
if Cram. in obedience to the order of
the county attorney, obtained extradi-
ton documents from the governor of this
state to the governor of Massachusetts,
and proceeded to Brockton. He, then,
in company with Massachusetts, officer,
proceeded to Mr.. Donnaker's residence
and informed him of the circumstances
and that extradition papers would be
procured of the governor of Massachu-
sets for his arrest if he did not come
willingly. Mr.. Donnaker, after some
thought, decided not to await extradi-
ton, and came willingly. Sheriff Cram
arrived with him on the noon train yes
terday.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.


Last night Mr. Louis Aidrich, and his
excellent company of players, presented
that delightful comedy "The Senator" at
Portland theatre to a brilliant and en-
thusiastic audience that filled every seat
and crowded the Hobbies.
The storyssof the Denman claim founded
on the General Armstrong claim that
was before Congress so many years-is
now well known to everybody. 1t is the
story of the play in which Mr.. Aldrich is
the central feature as Sentor Rivers, and
in which he carries his hearers with him
throughout the comedy. He is the large
hearted, breezy, busy, western Senator to
the life, and is ably supported in all his
schemes to advance the claim by Miss
Hattie Russell, who, as Mrs Hilory, the
social leader of Washington, has the
house with her in all er manoeuvres
Mr.. Evans is capital representative Of
Col. Denman, and was especially strong
in the first and third acts. Mr.. Harry
Braham still retains his original
character of Baron Ling Ching TO the
great acceptance of the audience, while
Miss James as Josie was excellent All
the other characters were well taken.
The play was handsomely staged and cos
TUNED. The house rang with laughter
and applause, and the curtain was called
at the end of the second and third acts.
Trip to Chinatown.
A Trip to Chinatown, Hoyt's cleverest
comedy, will be enacted at Portland
Theatre next Monday and Tuesday even
ings, No great strength is claimed for
the story, the main idea being to in
troduce number of character sketches
and (up to date) episodes. The skit has
enjoyed phenomenal run in, New York
of 700 nights and comes to this city
pulled up with pardonable pride. A
Trip to Chinatown is q clever musical
conceit and satirizes popular themes and
characters of the day, introduces pretty
songs, attractive girls and clever come
dams, affording an, evenings entertain
lnent in which is hardly break in the
laughter.

St. Johnsbury, VT, September 1.-Hon.
Harry G. Ide of this place has been
rendered the position of Chief Justice to
Samoa. This office is filed by the con-
sent of the three treaty powers, Germany,
England and America. Mr.. Ide's appoint
ment came sby the recommendation sof
Germany during Presidents Harrison's
administration, andswas recently taken
up by the present administration. The
appointee at .. one time was United
States land commissioner at Samoa and
his acquaintance with the people and
customs there and his recognized ability
as lawyer would serve him to excellent
advantage in the.position. The Samoan
chief justice has final jurisdiction over
many matters of Importance, including
the settlement of land claims and cases
involving the rights of foreigners ON the
island He is practically the originator
of legislation here. The naming of an
American for the office naturally insures
due recognition of American interests
in that locality.

Democrats Will Not Have 1t.

Washington, September 1.-After the
reading of the journal, Mr.. Weadock,
Dem, of Michigan, offered a resolution
postponing from tomorrow until Sep
tember Is the delivery of eulogies upon
the late J Logan Chapman of Michigan.
Mr.. Reed, Rep. of Maine, said that that
resolution pre-supposed that the House
would be in session at that date. He had
hoped that "the country would have been
relieved of us before that time"
The resolution was adopted.
The consideration of the rules was
then resumed

cloture amendment, which provides that
when the chairman of a committee or
any member of the House having bill
in charge which is under consideration,
moves the previous question on pend
ing amendment or engrossment and
the Speaker shall submit the question
to the House without entertaining any
motion against the same. If the motion
is agreed to the question shall then be
put on the proposition to which the
motion for the previous question applied,
and no motion shall be entertained
against the same except one motion to
COulIHlb, WILL OI -WluAOuu lhSoh uSolOhos
which motion shall be decided without
debate.
After some debate the Boatner amend
ment was rejected--yeas, 96; nays, 131.
Mr.. Morse of Massachusetts,, offered an
amendment prohibiting the smoking OF
tobacco upon the floor of the House at
any time and it was adopted.
Mr.. Reed of Maine, moved to strike
from the catalogue of privileged motions
the motion to fix a daV to which the
House should adjourn and the other in
to take recess. This was rejected.
Mr.. Dingley addressed the House in
opposition to flibustering. He then
moved an amendment providing that
no motion to postpone to a day. certain,
to refer, to postpone indefinitely or to
take a recess, be allowed a second time
on the same day, and at the same stage
of the question. This was lost.
Several other amendments to the rules

THE WRECK AT. CHESTER.
Men and Boys at Work Removing the Ev-
s dences of Disaster.

Chester, Mass, September 1.-At day
break this morning the work of clearing
away the railroad wreck was resumed.
It is most difficult task, for he cars in
the river bed lie in an inextricable heap,
shattered almost beyond reco gnition. "A
gang Of 20 men under Division Superin-
tendent Hackett, was set at work pulling
out the loose pieces Of the wreck, while
in the river which is not over a foot or
so deep, barefooted boys with rolled up
trousers waded about picking up floating
relics.
Mattresses, pillows, cushions. Kitchen
utensils, hat racks, footstools, chairs and
all the innumerable paraphernalia of a
parlor car train, were taken out one by
one, passed from hand to hand, piled up
on the west bank.
The work progressed very slowly on
account of the difficulties under which
the men labor, and there has been no
sign of the discovery of more bodies.
The ponderous engine which crossed the
bridge only to be overturned on the east
bank, has been set upright again on the
track 1t is a most demoralized looking
object, with a big hole in one of the
cylinders and with the sheathing ripped
off of one side. It will cost as much to
repair it as to build a new engine.
Workmen have already begun the
erection of new temporary bridge, which
will require two days to construct. 1T is
of wood and is to be straight across the
river, instead of diagonally as the old
bridge was. A large rope was placed
around the Wagner dining car lying
nearest the west bank, and the rope at
tached to an engine Several attempts
were made to lift the car by this means
but every time either the rope or the
chain which held the pulley broke. 1t
is thought the body OF the missing Mrs.
Summer may be under the ruins of the
dining car, though no traces of her re-
mains have yet been seen.

| furnishings in the several rooms in this
cottage. The exercises closed with sing
ing and the benediction by Rev. Mr..
