SUIT FOR SLANDER
Very Sensational and Very Peculiar Being
Tried at Portland.

PORTLAND, Oct. 17.--in the Cumberland
supreme court, Wednesday morning, was
begun the sensational slander suit of Elroy
c. Davis vs.. E. w. Burbank of Fryeburg.
Davis was the train dispatcher at the
Union station, and one night last May Mrs.
Hutchins of Fryeburg stepped from train
and told him man named Burbank had
oeen annoying her.
Davis, at the womans request, went TO
the West End hotel with her. Burbank
followed and it is alleged reported that
Davis occupied room with the woman
Davis denies the truth of this and brings
suit for libel and slanler.
The trial will be long and many " illnesses
Ril be introduced to testify to the charac-
ter of the two parties.
The witnesses summoned include Judge
Cram, City Marshal Harmon, ex-Marshsl
rarbox, Railroad Commissioner Chad
bourne of Biddeford, United States Marshal
John B. Donovan and other prominent
men of York and Cumberland counties.
Defendant Burbank denies the charge of
malice, but admits writing several letters to
Mrs. Hutchins' friends informing them OF
what he saw at the West End on the night
of May 81. He declares, however, that he
is related to the family of Mrs. Hutchins,
has for years acted as her counsellor and
friend, and his sole object in writing the
letters in question was to seek her emanci-
patton from what seemed to him to be her
downward step.
Plaintiff Davis was on the stand an hour
Wednesday.

Howe, today, sent two companies of the

at the request of Sheriff Cook, who tele-
graphed that a large crowd of farmers was
collecting in the town, and he feared the
local military company would not be able
to prevent them from executing their threat
of taking Dolby, the negro rapist, from
Jail and hanging him. Sheriff Cook wired
that a p'cisl grand jury was empauelled
and would indict Dolby. Ii was expected
he would plead guilty and accept the sem
tence of the court rather than remain in Jail
at Washington court house another night
and run the risk of being lynched.
A special received. this evening, from
Washington Court House says Dolby was
sentenced TO 20 years in the penitentiary.
The sheriff and three companies of militia
started with him for the pcnitentisry. At

THINK IT'S HE.
Bold Train Robber Believed to
Have Been Caught.
Had Lots of Money and Memoranda
Of Spoils.
Robbers Rob and Evil Has Free Rein in New
York how.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ia morning pa
per prints the following dispatch from
Cumberland, Md, dated 5 o'clock this
morning:
This morning at about 10 Officer Beck
noticed man acting In a rather suspicious
manner near the Baltimore & Ohio depot.
He tried 70 board express train No. ., west
bound, with two satchels. The man an
swered the description of the one who was
implicated in the express robbery at Guam
tico, Va, last week.
As soon as the officer attempted to make
the arrest the man started to run, but was
soon caught by the officer. He claimed 10
have been stopping at one of the hotels in
this city and upon being taken TO each Of
the hotels in town claimed that il was a diff
ferent one.
He was taken to the station house and
upon being searched Sl553 was found hid
den in two wooden stockings. Nine hun
dred and twenty-ihree dollars were in
notes and $3.50 in silver. One silver watch
and one gold one, lot of pawn tickets,
three pocketbooks and fine Colts navy
revolver were on his person.
There were 43 cartridges in his pocket
and a memorandum book showing how and
where the entire Doodle had been divided
between the men. In his satchel were
found old muddy shoes a slouch hat and
wearing apparel that looked like DISCUSSES.
He said that he was an eX-detectye in
Missouri, and afterwards denied it. He
asked to be taken to the closet and while
there tried to hide another revolver and
some money but was caught in the act.
The man is rather stout and weighs at
least lGO pounds, is feet tall, smooth face
and neatly dressed.
1t was discovered by the officials that he
has arrived in this city at about II o'clock
yesterday morning, and had gotten away
with several hundred dollars in a gambling
house. He claims to belong to the Knights
of Pythias, Masons, and several other or
ders.
He was seen yesterday coming out of a
clothing store by Officer Goss, who, on
questioning him last night, asked him about
this occurrence. The man stated that he
had purchased two suits of clothes and had
paid for them, and intended coming back to
this city to get them.
He refused to give his name, and after
being examined, was committed to jail to
await a trial on the 25,h of this month.
Officer Beck, who made the arrest. says
the man fought like lion and attempted
to draw a revolver.
Since he was committed to Jail he has
become sullen and refuses to talk. He
curses the officer who made the arrest and
threatens 10 make things lively for him if
he gets the chance.
Before bis commitment he told so many
conflicting stories that there is not the least
doubt but that he is one of the men who so
successfully robbed the express. 1t is
rumored in police circles that several men
have been arrested at Cherry Run, West
Virginia, all of whom have large amounts
of money upon their persons, but as yet no
further particulars could be learned
number of police will go 10 the scene
at once when the men will be brought to
this city.

A BRITISH DOLLAR
To Be Coined Tor Circulation in England S
Straits settlements.

LoNDoN, Oct. l7.-At the meeting of the
directors of the Charter Bank of India
Australia and China, this afternoon, the
chairman announced ih4t the government
had given sanction to the coinage of Brit
ish dollar for circulation in the
straits settlements aud Hong Kopg. The
fall in the price Of silver, he said,
had affected the eastern trade and lessened
the export of the NJ, xcan dollar to such an
extent as to threaten The eastern colonies
with total absence of currency. In these
circumstances the banks, local governme nts
and chambers Of commerce asked in concert
and obtsiaed the sanction of the treasury,
to the coinage of British dollar in Bonn
bay which would probably be in circulation
in the east early in 1895.
