Supply Of Traverse Jurors Fails In
the Hughes Case.
UNUSUAL NUMBER OF CHALLENGES
USED.

Eleven Men So Far on the Pane1-An Oc-
currence Very Rare in Maine Conrts-
Trial Win Probably Proceed Today.
The trial of DR.. John B. Hughes, of
this city, charged with the murder OF
Mary B. Dunn, came to a standstlil IN
the Superior Court Wednesday because of
a failure in the numbe of traverse
jurors. There were sixty-four from
whom to select the panel of twelve to
try the case. So many were rejected
because of opinions they represented
themselves as possessing, and so many
others were rejected by peremptory
challenges, that the number was ex-
hausted after eleven had been finally
chosen. This is result very unusual
in a Maine court. Judge Bonney says it
has not happened before since he has
been on the bench. There were two
courses which might have been taken
in such case. The Judge might have
digecaed the Sheriff to go out and bring
in from the street such men as he might
find, until one satisfactory us juror
haa been obtained. Or he might sead
out in the regular way for the municipal
officers of the towns to send in enough
more traverse jurors. The latter course

THE PROCEEDINGS.

1t was five minutes after ten o'clock
Wednesday forenoon, when Sheriff Sam
uel D. Plumner, ushering in Judge Bon
ney, announced the Court" Some time
before this the defendant, DR.. John B,
Hughes, had been brought from the Jail
by the officers, and taken the seat with
out the rail of the bar, and beside tx 9
place where his counsel would sit. Judge
Symonds soon arrived, and not long
alter Attorney General f. A. Powers,
County Attorney Charles A. True and
Assistant County Attorney Richard
Webb walked in from the County At
torney's room.
The sixty-four special traverse jurors
from whom the twelve were to be select
ed had already arrived and were seated
in the rear of the court room.
For this trial the lower court room is
USED, an apartment more commodious and
suitable than the upper room used for
the trial of Lewis.
After Court Officer Dresser had invited
ali persons having business before the
court to come forth and be heard, assis-
tant Clerk of Courts Libby called the roll
OF the traverse jurors, those good men
and true" who had been summoned from
ali parts OF Cum berland county, with
the admonition 20 be present and fail
not"
The attendance at this stage of the
proceedings was rather small for SO i'm
portant H trial. The women, who had
been so conspicuously numerous at the
Lewis trial, were entirely absent, and
the spectators of the male gender were
not numerous.
The calling of the traverse jurors for
the drawing by lot of the twelve men

Wednesday, October 30th, 1895.
70 Democrats.

Party differences cannot be settled by
boiling. The result of Democratic defeat
In Maryland would prove weakness and
would engender feuds that would long
abide to disrupt the party. Ifa candidate
at one election il defeated by treachery his
friends are apt TO seek revenge by initial
ing the precedent at the next election
when, perhaps, the other faction may be
on top and name the candidates. The
place for adjusting differences in the party
is at the primaries. If you lose, support
the men who win, that they may support
you when your time comes.
Hyou elect Republicans this tall by your
discords and boitings, do you imagine that
they will allay your feuds for you? They
have profited By them and they will ever
seek 10 widen the breach. All of the pow.
or you have given them will be used against
your party and its principles, which you
pretend 10 hold so dear.
Support the Democratic ticket from top
TO bottom. Work for IL like men. Make
your fights for party supremacy within the
party. When fairly beaten faithfully abide
the result and in time your reward will
come.

The trelchery partof the Malster
defeat consists IN the fact that us
delegates-t15 more than were need
ed to ndminate-had given their
written pledges to support the ship
builder. Two delegates from a GER
tain West End ward who voted a.
gainst Mr. Malster had been regu-
lar attendants of the Master eau
cuses. Another delegate from a
South Baltimore ward was guilty of
the same pffense, and ether cases
might be mentioned Of like breaches
of faith, al of which can only be
explained on the theory that Cap
tain johnson was correct when he
told Governor Brown at the super
visors' hearing that there is dis
tinction between honorable" deal
ing in politics and honorable"
dealing in business.
The "bulldozing'' of which the
Master people complain consists in
part on the refusal of admittance to
the hall of men who were either
regular delegates or who held the
"proxies"of delegates, and all of
whom WEIR known to be for Mr..
Master. Itis claimed that at least
half don Malster votes were lost
in this say stczdse the anti Malster
men had control OF the door.

Fraudulent Registration, etc.

ing Of old Uncle Eben, viz : Sometimes,

talkin' bout de bewty OBJ honesty. Hit
souns too much as if he wus argyin' VIII

we note that Capt J. Frank Supplee, lead
ing Baltimore city Republican. has turned
himself loose on Democratic Registration
frauds and says:
We have had Pinkerton people here from
Chicago, and have had them distributed about
the different precincts to lock out for repeat
crs whom the Democrats have imported"
Register Dyer, of Leonardtown district,
thinks that at least oneP inkerton might have
Seen probably employed here and that with
half an eye he could have unearthed some
considerable frauds not perpetuated by
Democrats, however. According to Mr..
Dyer this year he has Registered twenty
one young colored men, all except two of
whom, have sworn thst they were just 81
years of age. In every case the Registrar
says he asked the applicant II he knew
the penalty of false swearing and if he was
positive Of his age? All were accompanied
by sponsor. The unusually large num-
Der Of just els made Mr.. Dyer suspicious
and be determined to do little invasti-

Church registries and found from the en-.
tries thereon the names Of seven of his

in 1875; one in 1875 and two in 1877.

As these cases are now pending q hearing
before Justice Morgan we refrain from
comments upon them. But we hope that
the registration books will be carefully
scanned and wherever fraud is detected
that the perpetrator will be promptly
brought to justice.
Since the above was written Samuel E
Bush and Walter Jones, both colored, of
this town-two Of the twenty-one above

SENATOR GRAY SPEAKS.

senator tray, or Delaware, the
Presidents spokesman on the floor
of the Senate his personal friend
and most devoted follower and ally
comes forward with fervent ap-
peal to the Maryland Democracy to
stand by the party nominees and to
save the national organization from
the peril of Democratic defeat
next month. He paid a glowing
tribute to Mr.. German as a Demo-
cratic leader in the Senate, and
then said
Glow will our great leader, Gro
yer Cleveland, feel when he hears
the news from Maryland, if, in
Gods wrath, that should be the
case, that the gallant old State of
Maryland, which for thirty years
has held aloft the banner of Demo
cratic principles, has gone down.
has been found derelict and want
ing in the time of trial, has been
counted with the enemies of his
administration? don't believe it
will. Tell me where the JOY will
be if on the 5th of November your
verdict at the polls is against Dem
ocratic policies and the Democratic
President. That joy will be in
every Republican headquarters from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. All
opponents of tariff reform, of eco
nomical government and Democrat
ic principles will rejoice because
they will say that their great ene-
my has been defeated in q Demo
cratic stronghold. God forbid that
any such tidings shall 90 to our
Democratic leader on the 9Th of
November. In Gods name keep
your alignment, keep your courage,
keep your manhood, and, above all,
keep your Democracy so that the
grand Commonwealth of Maryland
shall not be recreant to Democratic
faith"
Does any sane man believe that
Mr.. Gray would have spoken thus
unless he knew that the President
ardently desires the success of the
Democratic ticket in Maryland.
Is it conceivable that he would have
used Mr.. Cleveland's name in this
way if there were the very least
foundation for the Baltimore Suns
assertions and insinuations as to
Mr.. Cleveland's attitude toward
Senator German 1t seems to rs,
on the contrary, that short of TAX
ing the stump himself, the Presi-
dent has spoken for Mr.. Hurst and
the Democratic ticket in Maryland
as directly, as eloquently and as
conclusively as anyone could ask.
