liens and members OF the bar. At the
close he was surrounded by friends who
heartily congratulated him upon his
effort The speech of Harris Moss, OF

Four Indictments Returned Against Sue
Barton For Criminal Malpractice.

terday afternoon and was discharged by

ments were returned against b. L. Sew
erance for misd emeanor, for unlawfully

meanor, for keeping a house of i'll fame;
Joseph Ring, felony, for breaking into
the house OF David Haislip; Bertram

Hampton Hoge and DR.. Ii. A. Sims, and
against Susan Barton, felony, four cases,
for criminal malpractice upon the fol-
lowing persons; Piney Murray, Mollie
Maury, Hattie Page and E. B. Cattle.
In the regard to the Barton case the
police authorities have kert assiduously
at Work and have secured ample evil
dence to have the woman indicted in as
many more cases. 1t has not been
thought necessary to institute search
for dead infants as sufficient evidence
has been procured to bring about con.
viction without establishing CORPUS
delecti.''
An examination of the premises of
the Barton woman has brought to light
the fact that at least four cesspools
have been dug on the lota Some of these
have been filled up with ashes, lime, etc.
The accused woman last night re-
tanned George McH. Gish as special
counsel in her case. She handed Mr..
Gish a certified check for $500.

The Leader of Protection Addressed "A
Large Audience Last Night.
BANGOR, Me-, Sept. s.-The greatest
audiece ever gathered indoors to hear
a political speech in Bangor assem- bled
in the City Hall to listen to Governor
Mckinley. OF Ohio. Long before the
advertised time for the opening of the
meeting the great hall was filled to
suffocation. Every seat was occupied
and hundreds were obliged to stand,
and at least thousand was turned
away.
Fully $500 people heard the speech,
which was received with NANTES tations
Of approval. Governor Mckinley pref
aced his address by warm tributes to
James &. Blaine and Hannibal Hamlin.
The Democratic President and Dem
ocratic Congress" he said, "havo been
running the Government for eighteen
months. during which timo little else
has been running. Industry has been
practically stopped, labor has found
little employment, and when employed
it has been at greatly reduced wages.
Both Government and people have been
draining their resources and both have
been running in debt The Government
has suffered in i;s revenues and the
people in their incomes. The total loss
to the country in business, property and
wages is beyond human calculation"

DRUGGISTS FEAR THE DOCTORS.
Trying to Prevent the Latter From Filling
Prescriptions


AsHEvILLE, N. c., Sept. s.-The
American Pharmaceutical Association
today voted to boycott manufacturers
who furnish physicians with their man.
ufactured products for use in dispensing
prescriptions. This was done for the
purpose OF putting stop to what the
druggists look on with alarm as an en-.
croachment on their own business.
1t is claimed by them that year by
year the doctors are getting mcre and
more into the habit OF filing their own
prescriptions and dispensing drugs from
their own offices, greatly to the .detri-
n1ent OF the prescription business OF
drug stores. The resolution authorize
ing the boycott was offered by Prof.
Whitney, OF Boston. 1t was adopted
without disse nting voice.
The association also took &C ion with
reference to the recognition of the pro-
fesslon of pharmacy by the army and
navy OF the United States The phar-
macists OF each branch of the service
are paid but $50 a month and have no
official rank.
A resolution was adopted to-day pro-
viding for the appointment of a commit
tee from each State in the Union whose
business it shall be to interest the
druggists OF their State with view of
securing the influence of all United
States Senator'S and Represen tatives to-
ward the passage OF q law giving the
pharmacists rank and increasing their
pay to that of the assistant surgeon.
The convention then adjourned sine
die.
