Alley, Mrs. A. F. Greedy, Mrs. Jere Giles,
c. S. Wasgatt, Drs. l.. w. and Lewis
Hodgl<ins, and n. c. King.
Mrs. Alley was an unwilling witness.
With the passing away of the effects OF
her injuries, the sense of the cruel treat
ment she had received was deadened, and
in its stead came the tenderer feeling of
pity for her husband, and she hoped by
not appearing in court, to accomplish his
discharge. But the offence which had
been committed was not only against the
wife but against the community and the
State, and after most careful search by
deputies, Mrs. Alley was found and
brought into court.
Defendant was not put upon the stand,
but his counsel made plea on his behalf,
first on the ground of justifiable punish
ment and secondly self-defence.
Judge Emery charged the jury at some
length He demolished the defendants
plea of justifiable punishment emphat-
ically as being contrary to the statutes
and then proceeded to discuss the further
evidence submitted in the case pro and
con.
The jury was out only fifteen minutes
and returned a verdict of guilty. Alley
was remanded for sentence.
The trial of Alley finished the cases on
the criminal docket that came to trial.
The case against Hannah F. ODER, in
dicted for adultery was mol pros on pay
ment of costs.
I ind iatn
for adultery, demurrer was filed and eN-
ceptions taken.
The case against Benjamin F. Weber,
was continued and bonds were given for
his appearance at next term.
John Mcdonald, w. H. Barry and H..
Dorr, of Bar Harbor, held for rape, were
discharged, no indictment being found
against them.
No bills were found against Georgia

Cherryfield Captain Dead.

The schooner "Walter l.. Plummer" Of
Machias was wrecked during hurricane

Everett l.. Wass, of Cherryfield, who was
in command of the schooner, died of
heart disease brought on by excitement

Capt. Wass was fifty years old, and had
followed the sea almost constantly since
he was fourteen years old. For the past
ten years he has been master in the en-
ploy of John S. Emery & Co., of Boston.
A few years ago, Capt. Wass rescued all
hands from the German ship "Lida" and
was rewarded by the German govern
ment by the gift of valua BILE gold watch,
appropriately inscribed, and bearing the
likeness of Emperor William.

ARGENTINA AS A CANE GROW
ING COUNTRY.

A German consular report from Argentina
qives an interesting statement on the sugar
industry of that country. In the year 1892
the acreage planted with cane amounted to
&c. 900 hectares, of which there were 10000
hectares in the province Of Tucuman alone.
There were forty-nine factories in the country,
and of that number Tucuman claims thirty
four. The average crop is about forty tons on
the hectare. The harvesting and working of
the cane is effected from June to October;
however, in the latter month the work is
sometimes but little remunerative, as in June
and July the cane suffers by f@rcsts, but this
comes to light only in October when the hot
weather SETS in and the canes are subject to
a rapi d decomposition. Planted canes furn-
ish crops for six to eight years, but then they
die off and must be renewed.
The cane fields do not require any manure,
and there are plantations on which for thirty
wears crops have been taken off without show
ing any notable decrease of fertility. The
irrigation Of the fields is greatly facilitated by
the small rivers and streams descending from
the outer mountains of the Cordilleras. The
growth of the Argentine sugar industry may
be seen from the difference of production in
1889 and 1892; in the former year it amounted
TO 8 5000 tons, in the latter to 10000 tons.
BY the way, the Tucuman canes cannot
boast Of an abundant sacoharine richness.
The latter amounts to about IL PER cent. with
a coeficient of purity of 50 per cent, and a
WELD in sugar of 81 per cent. is considered
as O. satisfactory result-LouisiGRa Planter.

SUGAR AS FOOD.

The consumption Of sugar Is usually associ-
ated with growing fat, but Dr.. Vaughan ilai'

also become well known in the Courts
as an authority on Spanish penal law, having
frequently succeeded by his perfect know

When one of the Australian squad
ron was patrolling the South seas
lately, she came up with a sailing ves-
sci, and one OF her officers boarded the
stranger, says the Sydney Mail. She
proved TO be a colonial craft, engaged
in recruiting Kanakas for the Queens
land plantations. On board the naval
officer noticed a photograph. He was
told that before the vessel left Queens
land the captain visited some OF the
sugar plantations where South Sea
islanders are employed. He took q
camera and phonograph, and then his
wen. into the business of photograph
ing groups of natives on the planta-
tiens, also taking individual pictures
of well-known natives from the New
Hebrides and others from the Solomon
group. Edison's invention was then
brought into service, the best known
of the natives, especially those VINO
have relatives and friends in the
islands, being asked TO speak into the
photograph ANYTHING they would like
to tell their friends. Large numbers of
these photograph letters were pro-
cured, giving accounts of what sort of
life the Kaaal1as were having on the
plantations and any other news that
wonld interest the "old folks at home"
at Mallicollo, Ambrym, San Christoval,
Malaita and other islands. After Sc
curing a good supply the ingenious
shipmaster sailed for the islands, and.
when last seen, was astonishing the
natives. Many Of the photographs he
had transferred to glass for use with the
lime light. and with the photographs
and the photograph he was in n posi-
ton to give such an exhibition of life
on a plantation as fairly changed the
native doubts into an enthusiastic de-
sire to emigrate. Nor was this all

THE BLIND PLANT,
A Frngoid Growth That Preys Upon tina
HCman Eye


A Frngoid Growth That Preys Upon tina
Hrman Eye
It may seem strange to some but,
according to ono of the best opti-
clans west of the Mississippi, twenty
two per cent. of the fifty or sixty
thousand blind persons in the United
States were rendered so by the
growth of remarkable fungus plant
which seems to be perfectly at home in
the human eye. The little plant
which causes this terrible affection
belongs 30 the lowest order of the
fungi and is a single celied organism
knowns as a coccus. Il propazates
amply by divisfon-that is, single
cell, growing to its full size, splits in
70 two or moro, usually four, perfect
plants, these again subdividing as be-
fore.
These plants grow upon the external
covering of the eye, and soon destroy
the clear medium SO necessary to
vision. The propagation of the mis-
chiefmaker is very rapid, and its
growth in the tissues covering the eye
ball causes much irritation, cutting OF
The supply OF nutriment, and re-
shifting in congestion. So far as
is known It is spread only by infec-
ton and must be planted directly up
on suitable soil before It can grow.
This, In brief, is what Is known as the
bacterial cause Of blindness.
