MARSHALL PRICES CONFESSION.
The Cool Way i'm Which He~ Com
mitted the Murder.

Marshall Price has made full confession
this statement without a tremor. when
j went into the woods to cut biazes on the
morning of the murder 1 knew that Sallie
Dean usually passed along the road nearby
on her way to school. When 1 saw her ap-
preaching 1 went to her and talked for a
minute or two
After we talked for a while I struck
Salie with the three-cornered stone that
was exhibited at the trial and then cut her
throat. 1 dragged her body IN the woods
and covered 1t with a cedar bush. l bur-
led her lunch pail, her books, the stone
and the knife. When the body was found
/ WAS active in trying to locate the MUIR
derer. for l did not wish the authorities to
suspect me. After 1 told the detectives OF
my dream. they. of course. thought l MUIR
dered the girl. and they eventually fastened
the guilt on me-"
why did you impl:cate Grant Corkran in
the murder?'
"Beca"se 1 had a grudge against him in
the first place, and, secondly, because !
was under the influence of liquor when
made the statement to Marshal Frey. At
ter 1 implicated Corkran / stuck to 1t. be-
cause l knew l would be compelled to &c
TO Caroline county for trial. The people
there were anxious to lynch the murderer
and knew that If 1 held to my statement
about Corkran / would be safe from harm. y
Price intimated that he was induced to
confess when he received letter from a
lady in Baltimore. who signed herself IS
NJ j., 1423 West Fayette street"
The lady sent Price prayer book, which
he has in his pocket and urged him to
confess and free Grant Corkran's name
Price said the Jail at Trenton was a weak
building and he could have escaped had he
ssired to do SO.

From MacmiIlan's Magazine.
Mr.. Swift MacNell once quoted in the
house the judicial declaration of the late
Baron Dowse of the Irish bench that 1.-The
resident magistrates could no more state a
case than they could write Greek ode"
and it was deliciously rendered by a re-
porter as 1.-The resident magistrates could no
more state case than they could ride a
Greek goat" Baron Doves must have i'm
me nseiy enjoyed this rendering.
He stated. in the course of judgment
in an action for libel against newspaper
arising out of an incorrect report. that
orce in speech in the house of commons
he had quoted Tennyson's line:
of Cathay,"
and read next day that he had edited his
audience with the following declaration:

through from beginning to end. and natur-

Stoddart must have told Whitman about
it, for shortly after 1 was presented to the
old gentleman he said in very kindly
tone to me: so you admire the writings
of Edgar A. Poe, do you? 1 answered that
I had recently finished reading them, and

aside the funny little dimity curtain. The

DriftwoOd Petc's Streak of Luck.
From the st. Louis pehocrat.


While splitting wood near his boat house
at the foot of Loughborsugh avenue, yes
terday afternoon, "Driftwood Pete" made
a lucky strike of the AK. which put him in
possession of nearly t$iOO in gold. He was
pounding away at the hollow log. when the
ak cut through and struck some metallic
substance, which provedsto be an iron pot
tight-sealed. With eager haste he broke
the top. and to his delight gold coin came
rolling out. Upon counting the coins they
amounted to 500. The pot had been in
cased in the log apparently for great
number Of years, and it is thought to have
been hidden in the tree during the war.
Where the tree came from will probably
never be known. 1t had been felled some
where up the river, and drifted along with
the current to yield its treasure to Drift
wood Pete" 'Driftwood Pete" has earned
livelihood all his life by catching drift
weed and other floating articles on the
Mississippi river during the summer
months. 1t was several months ago that
he caught the log which contained the pot
OF gold, and 1t has lain near his cabin ever
since, until yesterday, when he started to
split it up for firewood.

PROVOKED THE ASSAULT.
Armenians by Their In-Advised Action
Preclude Foreign Interference.

London, October A despatch to the
Standard from Constantinople says: +" Re
viewing the Armenian riot incident, 1T
appears that the police generally were
not supplied with ball cartridges. They
were instructed to use the flats OF their
swords and the butts of their rifles.
Such provocation as they gave in the first
instance was verbal The Armenians first
fred With the exception of The mas
sacre of the prisoners, the most violence
was committed by the Softas and the
lowest classes of Moslems, none of whom,
however appear to have been arrested or
otherwise checked. Doubtless the Ar
menians will be made to pay dearly for
the outburst, but having provoked repri-
sails it will be difficult for the Powers to
interfere.
The Standard says that the sole redeem
ing feature of the affair is the appoint
ment of EKiamil Pasha as Grand Vizier
He Is one OF the few Turkish officials
having influence whom foreigners can
regard with confidence. The paper again
attacks the agitators who organized the
armed procession, and says that these
men are the worst enemies of the Chris
tian population in Armenia. The Times
ascribes the appo intment of Kiamil
Pasha to the post of Grand Vizier in sue
cession to Said Pasha to the action of the
Armenians. Z" Their behavior" the
paper says, "may have been reprehensible,
but it has at least scored its first success.
Even If the successes were promptly due
to the prompting of revolutionary COM
mittees the same severe standard can
hardly be applied to a people which has
had to endure so much as to those who
enjoy the relative freedom of popular
agitation conceded by the least liberal of
of European states. Behind the rioters
of Constantinople loom the ghostly shad-
ows of the Sasoon victims" !"

WILL HURT MAINE INTERESTS.
A Change in Mail From Eastern Maine to
Boston DepIored.

Boston, October 4.-The Bangor and
Boston mail train now arriving in Bos-
ton at 5.5S a. M, will, on and after
October 6th arrive at z. 3S a. m. This
change is considered most important
one among the post office officials, and
business men of Boston and vicinity,
as it will undoubtedly Inconvenience
them to some extent. This mail will be
due to arrive at the Boston post office
at SIS a. M, which is too late to be dis
tributed for the first Z. 45 a. M, mail. and
in the winter time when the weather is
such that it will cause delays in the
train service, that mail will not even be
delivered in the second mail which is
at 9. 30. The train is an Important one
as it brings large business mail from
all parts Of the state Of Maine, especially
to the lumber interests Of Boston.
The second assistant postmaster general
has been advised of the change by the
superintendent of the railway mail SER
vice, and If the time cannot be set back
to s. So as formerly. the business men of
the Boston postal district who have deal
ings with the eastern section OF New
England will be seriously inconvenienced
in their business correspondence.

MANLEY FOR CONGRESS.

Announcement Made at Augusta That He
VIII Be Candidate to Succeed Milliken.
Augusta, October A dispatch from
this city to the Lewiston Journal says
The most important political announce
ment of the year since DR.. John T. Hill
decided to enter the field for governor is
that made today that Joseph n. Manley,
Esq.,, will be candidate for Congress to
succeed Congressman Seth L. Mi1likeD.
1t is not announced that he will enter the
field to succeed Mr.. Milliken in '96, but
probably will delay his candidacy until
two years has elapsed and Mill1ken has
filled another term, not actively becoming
a candidate at present. Mr.. Manley' s
friends have been urging him to take
this step for several months and he has
but recently reached a favorable con-
clusion.
1t is known that he will have any
opposition in Kennebeo county. Ex-
Governor Burleigh, who Is one OF the
most powerful and popular Republicans
in the district, will probably give the
new candidate his support What course
Hon. e. f. Webb of Waterville and Hon.
A. NJ. Spear of Gardiner. who have been
prominently mentioned for Congress, will
pursue, is not definitely fixed, but it is
not known that they will oppose Mr..
Manley. 1t is pretty certain that unless
Kennebec county if united on candidate
it will be difficult to beat Mr.. Milliken,
but it is claimed that when the county is
a unit for any candidate, as it has not
been in the past, that the remainder of
the district will fall in and nominate him.

EzErA's FINANCIAL BACKER
She Is Married Lady Who Lent Him
$4,000 With Which to Conquer Salvador.

San Francisco, October At has just
been learned that Antonio Ezeta, the
Salvadorean General and man of destiny,
is also a man of romance. How he
secured money to buy arms aid ammuni-
ton and to carry them and himself to
Acapulco, where he now is, much to the
discomfort of President Gutierrez, was
learned today. The cash was furnished
by woman, and married woman at
that.
She gave Ezeta $4,000, but could not
give her husband, a sculptor, Marion
Wells, $37. sc to pay the premium of in
surance on his plaster cast Of the winged
figure which will surmount the new City
hall. Now the cast has been attached by
the heartless company, which values
money more than art.
Mr.. Wells took the swarthy General
across the bay and entertained him in his
home Mr.. Wells wife is lady. OF
means She is French by birth, and had
resources in France upon which she could
draw Ezeta said he would have plenty
Of gold if he could only obtain the means
to return to Salvador, conquer his
enemies, and rule the nation. Then he
would have boundless means, and the
people who had been kind to him in his
exile would be remembered on his return
to power. He would make them wealthy
and happy.
Mrs. Wells drew $4,000 from Paris and
loaned it to EZeta. A few days after
ward the warrior was on the ocean. He
is now down in Acapulco and Mr.. Wells

debts and get the plaster cast of the zinc

The Ammen Ram.

Boston, October 4.-The Ammen ram
Katahdin is being shorn of her false
bow. This is looked upon by prominent
naval officers as significant undertaking.
1t may mean the defeat of the expecta-
tions of her owners that she will come up
to the required rate of speed on her trial
trip. Her bow was constructed accord
ing to the idea of her owners that the
craft might be better able to attain q
gr eater rate of speed. /. When the ram
was forced through the warter with but
her bow proper, it is said that the owners
of the ram realized that a change should
be made if seventeen knots were to be
made. Consequently her bow was raised
by an addition of struction by which the
water was forced to the sides in its
natural course instead of pillng in
abundance directly upon her bow, and
thereby retard1ng her progress. The trial
trip is some weeks off.
