4 Singular EXprrlencn.

A Penobscot county doctor, some time
ago, had strange experience or
something of the kind. He had been
visiting patient in Piscataquis
county and was returning in the dark
ness, when his horse stumbled and fell.
Fortunately, the doctor was not thrown
out, and the only thing broken was
one thill. This he was able to mend
so us to continue his journey. As h3
drove up to his door ne was surprised
to see his wife, who met him with the
question: You did meet with an
accident, didn't you?' The doctor
looked at his wife in astonishmcnt,
which was not wholly dispel!od as
she explained that she had gore TO
bed and to sleep, but had suddenly
found herself in sitting posture with
nameless dread that something
terrible had happened to her husband.
Being unable to shake it OFF. she had
arisen and waited for hin return On
comparison, it was found that the

THE GRAND OLD MAN.
Celebration of His Eighty Fifth Anniver-
sary.

London, Dec 29-At Hawarden today
the Rt. Hon. William e. Gladstone
is celebrating the S5th anniversary Of
his birth, and, as usual. he has received
many congratulatory kilograms.
Mr.. Gladstone's eyesight has been re.
stored and his health is good. He
spends hours daily in classical and thao-
logical study.
In addition to the many friends call
ing upon him today, Mr.. Gladstone will
receive deputation from the American
associations of London and Paris.
The congratulations upon this occa-
sion of the Troy newspapers seem to be
mingled with fear that Mr.. Gladstone
may be prevailed upon to returh to ac-
tive political life.
The st. James Gazette says:
at is pleasant to think that the veter-
an is enjoying his ease with dignity and
we regret he did not take the rest to
which he was entitled years ago. How
much better for his reputation had he
retired before the home rule bill Of
1886"
The Pail Mall Gazette says Of Mr..
Gladstone:
"May he for many years be able to
look back with satisfaction upon his old
age, study the classics and theology
and the encouragement of trade in eggs
and JAM"
The Midlothian Liberal and Scottish
Liberal associations have sent congratu-
latOry message to Mr.. Gladstone.

Astonlshed Mules.

Six mules that had for four years
hauled cars In the lower workings Of
the Spailand coal shaft near Lacon,
ILL.,, were brought to light recently, says
an exchange. In all that time the
mules had seen no light stronger than
the flicker of the Davy lamps the min
ers carried. The sun was in its zenith
when they reached the surface. The
astonished mules closed their eyes to
shut out the flood of light, and kept
them tightly closed while they were
led to the pasture lot mile distant,
and turned loose. There they stood
trembling as if afraid. something evil
was about to befall them. Presently
they half opened their eyes and peered
around in amazement. When they
had become accustomed to the sun
light they elevated their heads. Toward
sundown they broke into a chorus Of
Joyous brays After a quarter of an

of committee, reported resolution for
the appointment of a committee Of three
miners, three operators and three disin-
terested citizens to formulate some plan
to stop the cut-throat methods. Colonel
Rend gave John Burns scroching re
buke. His remarks were in opposition
to Burns being granted a seat in tie

slant attacks on our institutions.

Mr.. Burns. 1t is about time for Amer

ton whatever to listening to the views
of Mr.. Burns upon labor matters or

When Mr.. Stead came to Chicago ho
was taken by the hand by many OF
our leading citizens. He also abused
the hospitality of our city and the pro-
prieties of good breeding by indulgins

which he mingled much flattery but
more of hostile criticism. At that time
predicted that he would return to
England and initiate the example #

slanderous books about our country. 1t
is time to quit lionizing characters of
this kind"
AS Colonel Rend resumed his seat
there was an unbroken silence. Mr..
Burns, who stood listening all the time,
moved just little from studied posi-
ton he had assumed at the beginning.
Chairman Chapman, just tritle col

Albany, n. Y, Dec 30-The Deleva'l
house, the Mecca of politicians and ths'

for forty years past, was destroyed by
fire tonight 1t was $50 when the polit-

CONSERVATION among the guests. The
outburst of flames before an alarm
could be given was appalling. Up the
elevator shaft shot solid column of
flames, which spread quickly to each
of the five floors. Fortunately the guest
list was not very large, and the major
ity Of those registered were politicians
and were down on the second floor.
There was rush for the stairs in the
front and the servants stairs in the
back, where the flames had not yet

was tumbling mass Of humanity com

Those on. the two upper floors could
not avail themselves Of these exits for
the flames were rushing along the COR
rfdors and people In the street who had

out of the windows. Within ten min

least twelve persons were dangling III

Endorsement of the project for a coinage

AMES A FREE MAN
The EY-banker Of BereSiOrd and the
High Roller Of Tile Northern End
Is Given His Liberty.
He Departs Towards the Rising Sun
and Joins His family in Iowa.

Yesterday (Tuesday) in the circuit
court Judge Smith rendered his decis-
ion upon the demurrer in the famous
ex-Banker Ames case. whose sudden
flight from Beresford occurred in
the panicy times OF 1893. The
Judge sustained the demurrer
which in effect dismissed the
indictment and gave Mr.. Ames his
liberty. The point raised IN the de-
murrer was that the indictment did not
set out properly what would constitute
an offence under the laws OF the state.
The Indictment was "for receiving de-
posits in bank when the bank was in
solvent" 1t was in May 1898 that
Ames who was conducting the Bank OF
Beresford suddenly left town and failed
to return. An investigation revealed
that there was not enough assets to
pay ten cents on the dollar to the de-
positors. He was first indicted at the
September term OF 1893. The indict-
ment was found defective and in April
1894 another Indictment was found
which proved as defective as the FORM
er one on some technicality. Then in
April 1895, French of Yankton and
Sullivan Of Sioux City entered the case
but they did no better than States At
torney Keller and it has been conclu-
sively proven that under the statutes
the evidence was lacking to convict
Ames of any crime.
The criminal cases against David
Stone, Walter Salseth, John Harring-
ton and Frank Ferguson were dis
missed.
When the calendar was called by the
Judge it was found that there was little
business to transact as compared with
the last term. The suit Of stephen B.
Savage vs. J. A. Miller, which Is an &C
ton to set aside deed, was fixed for
trial. That of J. A. Miller vs.. A.
Shurtleff and D. Dickerson, involving
the same land, will also be tried.
