Suddenly club flashed through the
air and came down whack on his head
Blood spurted all over him and someone
hit him in the face.
Others rushed in and helped him out
and he was taken to a doctor. In a hall
hour lie returned alone with his head
bandaged
He marched up to Constable A.A.
Doliff of Kennebunkport, who had been
imported for the day. Doliff is the man
who is said to have struck him.
1t was wonderful exhibition of nerve
on Harmon's part but he took Doliff out
of that room crowded with Democrats,
who only needed the word to pounce oD
him.
AS he marched Doliff up through the
crowded streets to the station house
cheers went up ON every side. Biddeford
people like nerve and courage, and
that is what it took for Harmon
to arrest Doliff.
After Harmon had put Doliff IN the
station house he started down toward
the ward room again. The crowd thaI
lined the streets cbeered as he passed
along, towering head above the rest OF
the crowd. He was hero for the rest OF
the day, but ne bore his honors meekly.
There is no doubt that the Democrats
were intending to do some counting out
after the polls closed, and to prove this
may he mentioned false alarm of fire
rung in Immediately after. Republicans
believe it was part of scheme. but the
scheme did not work. Harmon's pluck
took the courage out OF the ward heeiers
and no counting out tricks were at
tempted. VIM. Breton was afterwards
arrested for resisting Harmon, and other
arrests will be made.
The election was a. big surprise to the
Democrats, and they hardly knew what
to say. They had tally keepers at each
ward, and late in the afternoon they
were confident of electing the may or.
They got it wrong when they checked
ticket, for there is no doubt that many
men reckoned as sure Democrats voted
straight Republican today.
Tonight the town was painted red.
The Republicans had two bands, Plan
chaud's and Chandler's. Crowds lined
the streets and cheer after cheer went up
as the procession went by. 1t showed
that the public is more than satisfied
with the election. There was big cele-
bration at City hail afterward. The hall
and the stage were both crowded.

HAWAII ON GUARD.
sansome's '.Hessians" viii Not Find the
Provisional Government Mapping.

Victoria, B. c.. March 12.-Advices
from Honolulu, dated March 4, received
per steamer Warrimo, state that i've
cases of criminal libel against Walter A.
Smith, editor of the Star, has been dis
missed and Indictment prepared. Mr..
Smiths allegations against ex-Marshat
Wilson were scorching. The ex-marshai
was accused of being a public defaulter
and the paramour of the ex-Queen. 1t is
understood when the arrest of Smith was
caused to be made by Wilson last fall.
Wilson was certain the Queen would be
restored before the trial. and he would
not be compelled to testify. This expec-
tation having failed, Wilson caused the
suits to be dropped. The, Warrimo was
subjected to rigorous inspection at
Honolulu, where new immigration act
designed TO keep out royalist.
" "Hessiansn has been put in effect. The
presence in the Hawaiia's number of
men supposed to have been enlisted in
Canada by Captain Sansome acting for
the royalists, has created here sensa-
tion. Half the citizens are guards under
arms and the senJries have been ubled
at the government house.

PEACE IN BRAZIL.
Da Cana Is Reported by Minister Thomp-
son to Have Surrendered.

Washington, March 12.-The State
Department has received two important
dispatches from Minister Thompson at
Rio this evening. The first stated that
Admiral Da Cana had offered through
the Portuguese naval commander TO
surrender if he and his followers were
guaranteed safety. This message was
taken to President Peixoto by Portu-
guese officer. Peixoto's reply was not
given, but it is inferred from the second
despatch of the minister that the terms
were favorably received. According to
the second despatch, Admiral Da CANA
had left his ship and gone aboard the
Portuguese vessel as an asylum. Secre-
tray Gresham understands from the
desnatches that the war is virtually
ended. Minister Mendenoza says he has
received information fully in accord
with that of the State Department.

SMUGGLING PoTAT oEs.
A Carload Sent from Maine, Increased in
Canada and Returned.

Boston, March IA carload of
potatoes was seized at the Boston and
Maine freight yards this morning, which
were shipped from the Provinces and
frauduleptly entered at the Vanceboro
custom house. There were 214 barrels
while the invoice showed but 1a4 barrels
entered at the Vanceboro custom house.
The potatoes were originally shipped
from Bridgewater, Maine. where 1874
barrels were first placed on the car. To
comply with the customs..laws, as it was
necessary to take the car over the
Canadian border and as the potatoes
were of American product, a transient
manifest was given. with the load which
would admit the potatoes when they
were again brought across the line at
vanceboro. 1t is thought by the officers
that while the train was on Its way
along the border, and within foreign
territory, twenty extra barrels were
placed upon the car. The customs agents

"Who struck me?n said Mr.. Carlisle,
turning quickly. A couple of bailitfs
were hurrying off through the crowd
with Deshea Breckinridge, and Captain
Leonard, deputy marshal of the district,
told Mr.. Carlisle that he was the one
who had made the attack. Mr.. Shelby

the court house. Cox Breckenridge re-
mained to make an explanation to Judge
Bradley, who had heard of the row and
had come back. Mr.. Carlisle. Mr.. John

affair and he promised to settle it in the
morning.

HOME RULE ssHELvED.
But the Government Insists that Its Poll
cy Is Unchanged.

London, March 12.-The opening OF
the new session of Parliament was very
tame as far as any manifestation of pub
lie interest was concerned. The Lords
and Commoners seemed to share the in
difference in a large degree. Very few
peers were in attendance when the House
of Commons was summoned to hear the
reading of the speech from the throne,
and only about 80 members walked to
the House of Lords in response. In the
House of Commons, the address in reply
to the Queens speech was approved. The
Queens speech followed the outline pre-
viously published. In the opening de-
bate on the address, Sir William Harcourt
admitted that the retirement OF Glad
stone was regarded by the Liberal party
with feelings of distress and dlsmay.
But, he said, the memory Of the grand
old man would remain the greatest tradl-
tion of the House. He said there would
be no change in the policy OF the govern
ment, Home rule, though it was tempo
rarily put aside, remained the leading
feature of the programme. Financial
legislation must be concluded by the end
of the month. Therefore the govern
ment must ask the whole time of the
House until then.
Timothy Harrington protested against
the laying aside of home rule. Mr.. Glad
stone, he said, promised that Irish home
rule would be pursued to the end with
out cessation. The postponement OF the
matter, he declared, meant its abandon

To the Editor:
Having discovered positive and
speedy cure for rheumatism, address
you in the hope that you will give pub
licity to my claim. l am well aware
that in making the bold assertion that
have discovered a positive cure for Rheu-
matism there will arise strong doubt
in the minds of the public as to the
truth of this statement, and that large
majority of the people will class this
new discovery with the Koch lymph
failure and the Brown-Sequard elixir OF
life delusion.
1t is to overcome this prejudice that
invoke the aid of the press. court the
fullest investigation under your direct
and personal supervision. L would sug'
gest that the fairest and surest way to
test the efficacy of this remedy would be
for this company to send 10000 trial bot
ties to the press, there to be given out
absolutely free to all persons afflicted
with Rheumatism, that the name and
address of each person who accepts the
remedy be entered in a book and at the
end of one week a reporter be detailed
to interview the parties who have taken
the medicine, and that the result of each
case be published. By this means there
can be no deception or fraud, and the
value of this remedy will stand or fall
upon the testimony of those who have
tried it.
improbable as this statement may
seem to you, or to those who have doc
tored for wears with the most skilled
physicians without benefit, yet l affirm
and am prepared to prove by over 40Co
people whom we have cured that this
remedy will cure acute or muscular
Rheumatism in from one to five days. 1t
never fails to cure sharp, shooting pains
in the arms, legs, sides, back or breast,
OF soreness in any part OF the body: Ii
is guaranteed to promptly cure lame
ness, sciatica, lumbago, stiff and swollen
Joints, stiff back and all pains IN the
hips and loins. 1t seldom fails to give
relief after one or two doses, and almost
invariably cures before one bottle has
been used.
We do not claim that this remedy will
cure Rheumatism where the limbs are
twisted out of shape. or where the di-
sease is complicated by scrofulous
diathesis, but by careful record we
5 per cent of the cases in which it has
been tried.
One of the strongest recommend atoms
of this remedy is that it is absolutely
harmless, and that person can take the
whole contents of bottle without the
slightest ill-effects. Unlike the medi-
cines used in ordinary practice for the
cure of Rheumatism, such as iodide OF
potash and salicylic acid, which irritate
the stomach and kidneys and disorganize
the general system without etfecting a
cure, this remedy acts as strong tonic
and is invaluable in building up weak
and debilitated people.
Believing that there is no cause so holy
and inspiring, no vocation so lofty and
ennobling, nothing 50 sure of mans
gratitude and Gods blessing as an hon
est effort to relieve suffering humanity.
I beg to remain. Yours truly,
JAMES M. MUNYON.

Biddeford, March 12.-Biddeford, the
stronghold of Maine Democracy,sand the
home of Democratic ring as sharp and
as unscrupulous as Tammany, has gone
Republican. The ring spent it's money
today with a liberal hand, and used
every means within it's power to carry
the day, with the result that it lost every
ward and the Republicans elected every
member of the city council, as well as
the mayor.
People outside of Biddeford can hardly
realize the magnitude of this victory or
what it means. For eleven years the
Democratic ring has carried the city
year after year, until it seemed as ii they
had life lease of the city. 1t came to
such pass that to declare yourself a
Republican meant to make yourself un-
popular, or to invite some kind OF boy
colt. Democrats laughed at the idea that
the city would ever fall from their con-
troll, and Republicans, as they were
beaten year after year, themselves almost
lost hope of ever redeeming the city from
it's debt building ring.
Few Republicans really had faith that
the city could be carried by them this
year, although they were determined to
make a fight, and knew that it would be
a close thing. For all that they hardly
believed that the ring could be over
thrown.
But the people did it. The people had
tired of ring rule. The people had tired
of Democratic times They became dis.
gusted at the methods the ring used in
bringing voters into line and in sup
pressing free speech by tricking the
Republicans out of the City hall.
The thinking people cast their. ballots
against the Democratic ring and the
Democratic party, and among these
thinking people must be reckoned the
French people. Had they voted ssol1dly
for the Democrats nothing on earth
could have turned Biddeford over. Lead
ing men among them, however, who saw
that the ring was simply making a tool
of the French people, revolted, French
paper was established, an Independent
club was formed, meetings were held,
and now Biddeford is Republican and
the ring is smashed.
The election was one of the most quiet
ever held in Biddeford. The toughest
toughs in Biddeford hold great respect
for City Marshal Harmon. and they
knew that any fighting would mean
immediate arrest. 1t is a complete vindi-
cation of the police commission. In
previous years with three times as many
Democratic police on duty there has
always been five times the fighting and
drunkenness that there was today.
The only fight was in Ward 4, and here
City Marshal Harmon, himself, came
near being laid out. 1t was caused by a
manifest determination on the part OF
the ring to count out the Republicans
At $50 the Republicans asked for Il
representative on the counting board.
Ex-Marshal Tarbox, Democrat, in
sisted that they had no right to it, and
City Marshal Harmon started to read
the law. He was almost the only
Repu blican i'll the room.
The crowd shouted and surged toward
him and fight was in the air. He
nartialIy cleared the room, and then the
altercation was resumed. The crowd
closed in again and fight begal. Har-
mon was almost unaided, but he would
have been equal to them.
