Severe Storms.

BIDDEFoRD, Me-, Sept. N.-The
most severe thunder storm ever known
in this section of the State passed over
Biddeford at late hour yesterday al
ternoon doing much damage to proper
ty in different sections of the city. just
before six o'clock it was as dark in the
city as it usually is three hours later.
Suddenly with roar the storm burst.
The rain fell in torrents, the lightning
flashed and the thunder kept up con-
slant canncnading. Lightning struck
not less than dozen different building
in the city and many trees and tele
graph poles were shattered. Half y
dozen citizens were knocked down by
the electric fluid, but no fatalities are
reported. For a time the city was
flooded.

The Durant Trial.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept. 27.-One
of the most important witnesses who
will testify for the defense in the Durant
trial is Robert w. MARYLAND. He is the
manager of the Pacific Electrical Con-
tracing Company. Mr.. MARYLAND is an
expert electrician and gas6tter. He
will be called to the witness stand to
prove that person performing the
work on the sun-burners of Emmanuel
Baptist Church, which Durant is alleged
to have done, and in the manner in
which it is alleged he did it, might have
been easily asphyxiated or partly 80.
Mr.. MARYLAND will not testify that the
accused student did repair the electrical
and gas apparatus, but will confine
himself to the judgment of an expert
relative to the probability that the de-
PENDANT would have been more likely
than not to have been overcome by gas
in the performance of the work. Mr..
MARYLAND will be corroborated by F. r
Carpenter, another gasftter, who has
also investigated the premises, and who
will be called to the witness stand.
The attorneys for the defence expect to
prove that Durunt did fix the gas, AID
will rely on the testimony of these wit
nesses to establish the fact that he must
have been overcome by gas.

New YORK, Sept. 27.-The members
of the Southern States passenger asso-
citation met this morning at the Hotel
Waldorf. During the day they will
receive the report of the committee ap-
pointed yesterday in reference to the
selection ola new commissioner. Solo,
mon Haas, who is assistant to president
Spencer of the Southern Railway,
announced that his resignation had
been placed in the hands of President

appears that W. w. Finlay, who was
commissioner of the Southern States
passenger service, was elected third
vice-president of the Southern Railway
and assigned to take charge of the
traffic service of that road. The resig-
nation has not been acted upon as yet
and an amicable settlement may be
made which will mean the continuance
of Mr.. Haas in Office. 1t is understood
the successor to Mr.. Finley will not be
appointed at present and that the COM
missioner of the Southern States pas
senger association will take the office
vacated by Mr.. Finley.

THE DURRANT TRIAL.

In the Durrant trial at San Francisco
y sterday the witness upon whom the
attorneys for the defense depended
most to sustain their contention that
Durrant was attending a lecture at
Cooper Medical College at the hour
when Blanche Lamont was murdered
gave disappointing testimony.
Instead of testifying that Durrapt
was present at the lecture, as Attorney
Duprey said DR.. Cheney would do, the
doctor said ne had no recollection Of
seeing the young medical student. To
Offset this reverse the defense gained
only one point. the admission of an ex-
hibit of the roll call book at the college
in which Durrant wss recorded as pre-
sent ut the lecture given on the after
noon of April 8.
The prosecution holds the roll call
book in little esteem from the fact that
il will place witnesses on the stand to
prove that Durrant frequently asked
his class mates to answer to his name
when be was absent, and that they
complied with his request.
Sergeant Reynolds, the police officer
who conducted the search of Emanuel
Church after the discovery of the bodies
of Blanche Lamont and Minnie vii.
liams, was the first witness called to
the stand, After describing the furni-
ture and other articles found in the
PASTORS study he was asked about the
chisel marks found in the door leading
to the belfry.
The door and casing through which
the murderer passed with the body of
his victim were brought into court and
formed one of the most interesting ex-
b bits produced The witness testified
tlat the marks correspond in size to
chisel found in tool-box in Rev. John
George Gibson's study.
DIR. Cheney being called, said Il Q
lecture on April 8 began at $3.50 ard
lasted until 4:15 o'clock at the close of
which the roll was called. The wit
ness did not know whether DurraDt
was present or not, as the roll was
called by DR.. F. P. Gray. DR.. Cheney
was temporarily excused and DIR. Gray
summoned.
DR.. Gray did not know whether
Durrant was present or not, but assum-
ed that he was from the fact that he
was not marked absent on the roll
call. Questioned with regard to the
roll call book the witness admitted
that the entry of April 8 was not an
original record as it Lad been transfer
red from another page subsequent to
the date for the purpose of rectifying
an error.
On this gre und the district attorney
moved this. the book be not admitted
as an exhibit, but the objection was
overruled. D.. Cheney was then re-
called, and reiterated his statement to
effect that he had no recollection of
seeing Durrant at the lecture given on
tie afternoon of April 8.
Attorney Duprey was plainly nettled
at the conflict between what the de- !
Tense had promised DR.. Cheney would
testify to and what he really did say, Z;
20 another effort was made to obtain a .
satisfactory answer. The witness was
