FOR HUGHES PARDON.
Asked For a Portland Man in
the State Prison.
ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.1

ESPECIAL TO THE PRESS.l
Augusta, Aug. 13-Wm. Ell. Looney,
Esq, of Portland appeared before the Gov
ernor and Council this afternoon and
urged that pardon be granted to Robert
Hughes, who has served eight years of
fifteen years sentence at Thomaston for
assault with an attempt to commitssrape
Mr.. Looney told the board that Hughes
was man who had only one fault. Once
every several years he ould go on a
spree. Hughes had always maintained
his innocence. If any assault was COM
mtted, as alleged, it was during one of
the times when Hughes was so under the
influence of liquor. Before he was arrest
ted Hughes, accompanied by his wife,
called on Mr.. Looney and said that the
parents Of the girl who alleged that
Hughes had assaulted her had told
Hughes that they would sshush the matter
up for $500. Mr.. Looney said that regard
ing it as a case of blackmail he advised
Hughes to pay nothing. Hughes was ar
rested and bound over to the Sup erior
Court Then, by advice off his counsel,
Hon. W. f. Lunt, he pleaded nolo con-
tendere and was sentenced to fifteen
years. The man has always claimed that
he did not know what this plea meant
and wanted a trial. Mr. Looney read a
letter from Bishop Healy in support of
the pardon. Bishop Healy wrote that the
officials ofathe State prison expressed be-
lief'i the innocence of Hughes. The
Bishop spoke of the poor health of
Hughes wife, who supported herself by
taking in washing after her husband S
arrest. Mr.. Looney also put in numer-
ously signed petitionssin behalf of Hughes
Thomas B. Hughes, the 18-year old son
Of Robert Hughes, told the Council that
he had annually been to the prison to see
his father and at each Of those visits his
father had claimed that he was innocent.
George S. Staples said that Hughes
had been employed by him on the streets
of Portland for many year before the al
legged crime Mr.. Hughes was conscien-
cious man and had had charge of a gang
of twenty-five or thirty men. 1t was on
ly once in three or four years that he had
a spree. On the day before the alleged
assault Hughes was in one of these
drinking spells and was taken to his
home by Mr.. Staples, who thinks that
Hughes was not himself at the time the
offence was alleged to have been commit
ted Mr.. Staples said that after Hughes
was sentenced he sent for Mr.. Staples and
told him that he did not know the mean
ing of the plea nolo contendere. Hughes
wanted trial, but Mr.. Staples told him
it was then too late. Three or four years
ago, an officer Of the prison visited Mr.
Staples and asked him if he could not dc
something for Hughes, telling him that
the prison officials believed the man inno-
cent.
The Council took the matter under ad-
visement.

All Well on the yalkyrie.

New York, August 13-Captain Boeg
of The Rotterdam, said that when he first
sighted the Valkyrie she was off his port
bow, and on the starboard tack. There
was very light breeze from the west
northwest, and the ketch rugged yacht
was reeling off not more than four knots.
She had all sail set including forestay-
sail, foresail, gaff topsail and jigger. The
Rotterdam ran down to her. On the peak
of the yachts gatf were displayed the
men were on deck in oil skins. Life lines
were stretched from the fore to after
rigging and the decks were very wet.
One man whom the steamers master
took to be the skipper, shouted: !:
"Valkyrie will you report us in New
York; all well. " He further said they
had met very bad weather and southwest
gales.

MEASURING MousAM's POWER.
The River To Be Made to Generate EIec-
tricity for Manufacturing Purposes-Talk
of Extending the Mousam River Rail-
road.
TspncIAL To rHE pREss.l

Sanford, August 13.-It is confidently
believed that at no very distant day the
bulk of the manufacturing here will be
done by electricity, that is that the power
necessary to operate the machinery will
be brought by wire, connecting ponder
Gus electric generators, to be placed in
suitable structure to be erected at the
Old Falls, seven miles below this town
on the road leading to Kennebunk, with
electric motors here. A number of work
men are now engaged in the construction
OF weir at the Old Falls of the Mousam,
the object being to ascertain the exact
amount of power that the river, at that
point is capable Of supplying. These falls
and the land adjoining on both sides of
the river were recently purchased from
Mr.. W. K Dana of Westbrooh, by c. A.
Bodwell, superintendent of the Mousam
River railroad. This fact is considered
significant, and it is be ieved by many
that not only is it the il tention to utilize
this immense water pow er, that has been
running to waste for so many years. but
that an extension of the Mousaln River
railroad is contemplated as well. A
majority of the people in this neighbor-
hood would like very much to see the
road extended to it's original terminal
point, Kennebunk but whether this is
destined to be brought about at present is
a matter of considerable conjecture.
Superintendent Bodwell thinks that that
thing will eventually come to pass, but
does not look for an immediate realiza-
tion of his original anticipations.

CHINA is TAKING PRECAUTIONS.
England and the United States Will Ap-

London, Aug. 13.-An official telegram
was received in this city stating that an
imperial edit has been issued at Pekin at
the instance of N. r. O'Connor, British
Minister, calling on the Governors of all
provinces to take precautions that the
people are not misled.by rumors exciting
them against missionaries. 1.-THE dispatch
adds that five of the men concerned in the
massacre of missionaries at Kuchang are
already arrested and will be tried imme-
diately.
Washington, Aug. 13-The United
States government will probably send
one OF its consuls to represent it in the
investigation into the recent massacres
at Kucheng, China, instead of commit
ting the American interest to British
official. Whether this investigation will
be conducted by mixed commission of
British and Americans cannot now be
stated 1t is understood that Mr.. DENLY
will have separate inquiry made to de-
termine the extent of injuries to persons
and property of American citizens. Miss
Hartford of Dover, EN.H, was the only
American injured at Kucheng; and she
was not seriously. AS attack was SO OBJ
vlously directed against Americans and
English alike, this government will prob

After that they fail to do so. Similarly
the record of mortgage loans and collater-

Then Me Pierce took up the matter OF
notes given by DR.. Fitzgerald for money
loaned Tho bank trustees would let DR.
Fitzegarld have but $500, because of
some personal feeling. This money was
secured by mortgage on costly house
DIR. Fitzgerald was erecting. Mr.. Barron
and one of the trustees, how ever, en-
dorsed another note for $1,000, and thi s
was subsequently put in as loan to the
bank. The money loaned on these notes
was paid out as the house was built, but
after it was finished there were still some
unpaid bills. Then it was that it is
claimed Mr. Barron took another note for
$780, secured by mortgage on the house.
Mr.. Pierce admits that 90 cover this
transaction Mr. Barron evidently made
some Of the fraudulent entries referred
to by Mr. Drummond. 1t was not for his
personal benefit, but that the Fitzgerald
house might be free from incumbrance
and the banks claim thus protected.
Taking up the contention of those
whom he called 'sthe suioiders" that
there were no evidences of struggle
having taken place in the bank, Mr..
Pierce argued that it would not have
been necessary for the murderers to have
disturbed the dust on the floor by
dragging Barron around it. Neither
would they hae been obliged to scatter
the coal all around. That they made
little noise was to have been expected.
