Chandler Garland testified: II am dep
uty sheriff, Whitman was my assistant.
When Mr.. Newell entered the store to
search for the suspected burglar l walked
to the north side. heard two shots and
heard Whitman cry, 'Oh, I'm shot. As J
ran towards the scene fred two shots at
the store door, where / supposed the mur-
deser was, then chased another burglar and
shot at him.

his house and found him there but nothing
to connect him with the crime. / found
later at Thorne's house secret closet con-
tanning property purloined from this store. !"
During the afternoon the defense made
sensational examination of Officer Garland.
who testified that be had NO warrant author
izing him to search Thornes premises and
never arrested him under any warrant.
Had second revolver at the time OF tho
tragedy. The revolver was produced. The
witness did not think he s~ore before the
inquest that he only fred " o shots, at the
store, but thought he must have fired three
times. Have not T. d to induce Mr.. New

which killed whitman will fit my revolver

Officer Garland sto1d those searching

The gen. eral issues and department stamps found quick buyers. A set of agricul- tural department stamps sold for $1O.SO, executive S21.65, justice $25. A S5 stamp, after some spirited bidding, was knocked down at s67.5O. The To- cal stamps of the confederacy, to which as relies Of the war certain historic value attaches, brought the following prices: Athens, Ga., $55; Danville, Va, $40; Fredericksburg To- cent stamp, S36; two Knoxvilles stamped envelopes, $S2 and $72 re- spectively; Lenoir, N. C.. $91; Lynch burg, Va, $75, and another on letter, S125; Marion, Va, very fine specimen on a letter. S501. A great many of the stamps sold were bought by English dealers.

MARIE ANTolNETTE's REFUGE.

Eoseeonnb. Me, Was to Have Been the
 Home Of the Exiied Princess.
 There is building in Edgecomb, an old square, white house, concerning which an interesting story is told, says the Lewiston Journal. This tra- dltion is that at the time of the French revolution Capt. Samuel Clough, the owner of the house, who sailed ship between Maine and France, was en- gagged to bring to this country no less valuable treasure than the unfortu- nate queen, Marie Antoinette, aud that quantities of rich stuffs, furni- ture and silver were put aboard hls ship. for the use of the exile, whose destination was to have been this same house, which then stood in Vest port, it having been removed to the main land on raft sixty years ago. It is yet occupied by Capt. Coughs de scendants.
 One circumstance which lends con frmation to this story is that similar legend attaches to house in Dorches- ter, Mass, the famous Swan mansion, then owned by Col. Swan, who spent much of his time in Paris, but who set tied permanently in this country after the French revolution, his house being adorned in princely fashion. Now Capt Clough and Col. Swan had money dealings together in Paris, Capt. Clough in 1794 having had a contract to purchase fifty thousand dollars worth of lumber for the colonel. What more likely than that Col. Swan, who was warm friend of Lafayette. should have engaged the Maine cap tain to aid him in plan of such great importance as the attempted rescue of the French queen. with which he is credited.
