Mr.. Written Confirmed.

Augusta, April 17.-At meeting Of
the governor and council this morning
the appointment of Oren B. Whitten, Port
land, fish commissioner, was unanimous
ly confirmed. There was hearing on
the matter at which several prominent
Bath men opposed the nomination on the
ground that Mr.. Whitteu believes in free
fishing on the Maine coast. They said
all they wanted was to be sure the protec-
tive laws would be strictly enforced. The
council recommended the pardon OF
Charles Howard of Lewiston, who is
serving a short sentence on a charge of
rape. The Governor will designate May
as Arbor day. The council adjourned
to May 9.

A DEAF MANS SENSATION.
He Is a Tardy Witness in the
Horse Shoe Pond Mystery
AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY Is
LOOKING UP HIS RECORD.

This is the Case Growing Out of the Sus-
picious Death of Charles Bleun Last
summer-Geo. T. Silver Is Being Tried
and a Man Who Did Not Make Himself
Known at the Previous Trial Gives
Unexpected Evidence.
Augusta, April livery sensational
testimony was made public today IN the
case Of state VS.. George f. Silver OF Gaf-
diner charged with causing the death OF
Charles Blenn at Horse Shoe Pond, In West
Gardiner Last July, Blenn visited Eogar
c. Wakefield and the defendant at thelr
camp on Sunday, and later his dead Dooy
was found in the water not far from Camp.
Silver claimed that Blenn tipped the boat
over Bruises on Blenn's head led to an au-
tonsv. and the case was characterized by
the differing testimony of the medical ex-
merits. Silver claimed there was third
man in the boat but he did not know Who
The trial lasted seven days and the jury
disagreed, ten being for conviction. Wake
fields trial ended October IL, after dura-
ton of 13 days and he was convicted. He
claimed he was upstairs at the camp
asleep at the time of the alleged drunken
brawl when it is supposed that Blenn was
struck down and afterwards thrown into
the water. He said he knew of no man
about the camp such as Silver described.
Wakefield appealed his case but was let OIL
for fine.
Silver came up for new trial yesterday
and the mysteri Gus third man who silver
declared, was present, was put on the
stand in the person of e. r. Clary OF Farm
ingdale, He is entirely deaf and was ques-
toned in writing. His description OF the
camp was strikingly clear. He testified that
he called at the camp on his way from
Lewiston home. He did not then know Sill
yer OF Blenn but did know Wakefield. He
did not see him, however. His testimony
was in accord with most of the circumstan-
tial evidence of the brawl in which Blenn
is supposed to have received blows. Clary
claims that Silver and Blenn drank and
scuffled but all good naturedly; that Blenn
fell against the stairs, striking his head; !;
that Silver and Blenn set him across the
pond in the boat when both were silly
drunk; that when they went to go back
Blenn tumbled into the boat headlong but
afterwards got up and rocked the boat and
that was the last the witness saw of them.
He made a plausible excuse for not making
himself known before and his story was
clearly told. 1t apparently made deep
impression. The county attorney asked
for continuance to look up the history or
the witness and characterized the testImo-
ny as a deception and farce.

GENERAL KELLEY is BEGGING.
His Industrial Army Is Starving While
Troops Guard Their Camp.

Omaha, Neb., April H.-General Kelley's
Industrial army is in camp five miles east OF
Council Bluffs with no shelter from the rain
which began at noon. Four additional COM
panies of militia were sent from Council
Bluffs at midnight and are guarding the Kel-
ley camp. Kelley is ordered to move on
with the men. Four are sick from exposure.
The feeling of the people of Western Iowa
against the state authorities for calling
out the troops is growing intense. Kelley
has been allowed to go to Omaha and
Council Bluffs to ask for food, his men be-
ing without supplies.

AN EXPLANATORY TELEGRAM
Eph DOnnelIy Supposed to Be
 Insane.
His Absence For Two Days Arouses the Gravest Fears of His Rel
 ativeS ana Friends.

A sorrow which for weeks has been carefully concealed within the circle of an estimable family, yesterday burst It's bounds and invited the sympathy of scores of friends who had never sus- pected it's existence. The following brief telegram is partially explanatory |:
 Henry M. Dom ely, New London, Mo-: Eph is crazy; come at once.
 Eph Donnelly, though resident of the city since the beginning of last winter, resides with his mother and sister on Madison street near Fourth avenue. He is man of perhaps thirty five, and is familiar figure on the the best people in the valley. He is 8 man of some education and is regarded as whole-souled, mpanionable man and lavishly generous to his acquaint- ances.
 Within the past three weeks there have been rumors Of questionable transactions in paper but the money ac- quired from such transactions was spent without stint for the benefit or pleasure of his friends. His credit was good and recently has been exercised almost beyond it's limit in purchases which attracted suspicion as to his mental condition. Last Saturday bis more intimate friends realized that he was insane and determined to cause his arrest on Monday. The step was de- layed and two days ago he disappeared since when he has not been seen and the gravest fears of hls mother and sister have been aroused; hence the telegram.
 For some time the unfortunate man has been suffering from tumor on the back of the head near the base of the skull. It was examined by San Francisco physician who detected it's effect upon his mind and who predicted that within two months it would produce marked if not incurable insanity. The accuracy of the predictions is shown in the fact that the two months have now almost expired.
