Another Prohibition Blossom.

Charles Bean and Charles Cushman
were arrested last night by Officers
Hall and Worien for liquor selling at
their place near the gas holder by the
depot grounds. Bean stood trial last
night before Justice Newton and one
witness appeared TO swear reluctantly,
that he had on two occasions get some
prohibitory Juice there. So Bear was
found guilty Of TWO offenses of selling
and fined SO for each. and one of keep
ing with intent to sell for
which he WAS fined - and costs
all amounting to Si7.
IS the time had then arrived for
Justice Newton TO go home. Cushman
laid in the Lookup over night TO await
trial today.
The business started on the island.
then progressed TO the bridge and then
TO the gas house.
There are three or four more such
places in town against which the officers
are seeking evidence with the determin-
alton to exterminate under the law pro-
pogating them-;l process that is about
as effective as scattering Canada thistle
seed with one hand and hOeing up with
the other.

Charles Corliss, %, of Windsor.
fireman of "Murphys freight" due in
here from the north at 7,25 m, lost
foot Wednesday night by an acci.
dent that came uncomfortably ssclose
to being terrible one. After the ar
rival of the freight, Engineer Tuttle
backed his engine up to the turn table
and turned it round SO as to go on the
up train, and then ran on to a side
track which runs in a sort of Y shape.
to the point near where they stop every
night to throw off their ashes. Tuttle
knew..the special bearing the Odd
Fellows excursion from Ludlow was
soon to come, for he had his orders
for it, and he calculated that there
was room enough for it to clear, but
he had run down too near the point of
the Y. and Corliss was under the
engine cleaning out the ash pan, when
the special came along at good speed,
and hit the machine above him, pushed
it out six inches and turned the out
er rail fiat. Corless heard the collision
and undertook to crawl out, and had
got out all but the left foot. which
was so badly crushed, that DR.. Ket-
chum and Gray had to amputate it
through the ankle joint. They are
trying to save the heel SO as to leave a
stump, but it is doubtful if they can.
The running board, step and bunters
of his engine are broken and the whole
length of the wood work on the ten
der torn off. The excursion engine in
charge of Engineer Hoyt. Obrey, con-
ductor, had the shield on its cylinder
head and the step ands running board
broken and the tender scraped.
If the Tuttle engine had been little
further down. both machines would
have been smashed and the cars piled
up and probably thrown down the
bank, which is at this point close
to the track and slopes down perhaps
10 feet to the waters edge.
Corliss was taken to the house of
Mrs. X. ID. Cutler on Elliot street
where he is being1well cared for.

LOUISIANA ELECTIONS.
The Citizens League Carry New Orleans

The Citizens League Carry New Orleans
and the Democrats Win in the State.
New Orleans, April 22.-The Citizens s
league elect their candidate for mayor
by upwards of 10000 majority over
congressman Charles f. Buck They
also elect their entire city and council
manic ticket The negro vote went al
most solidly for the Citizens league.
The combination OF Citizens leaguers
and republicans was engineered to
success by the political skill of ex-Gov
Fl. G. Yarmouth. The vote for Gov.
Foster and Pharr, republican candi-
date for governor, is close, but Foster
will probably have 1000 majority. The
democrats will carry the state and
control the legislature. The returns
are coming in slowly, as many of the
parishes have no telegraphic communi-
cation. No trouble has been reported
from any country point, even ST. Lam
dry having a peaceable election, con-
trary to expectation. The election
passed off peaceably in the city.

Gratis in State Convention
Election in Louisiana.

New Haven, Conn.,, April 22.-The
republican state convention opened in
the Hyperion last night and the or
ganization of the convention was per-
fected. Judge Edgar M. Warner of
Putnam was selected as the temporary
presiding officer. The allusion of
Judge Warner in his address to the
various candidates formed the first
sensational episode of the convention.
The mention of Allison and Morton
evoked strong applause, but prolonged
cheering followed the presentation of
the names of Speaker Reed and exGov.
Mckinley. Samuel Fessenden made a
brief address and created great enthu-
siasm by stating that Reed was the
logical candidate to support. The COM
mittees of the convention were then
appointed by Judge Warner and the
convention adjourned until to-day.
The caucuses of the different counties
took place after the adjournment for
the selection of the delegates. The
Reed men claim Brewer, Fessenden,
Allen, Keeler, Searles, Williams and
Douglass. The Mckinley adherents
claim Bull1eley, Hutchinson, Cheney,
Brewer, Allen, Sykes and Searles.
Allen, Searles and Brewer, the doubt

Maria Barberi To BE Returned To New
York from Sing Sing This Week.
New York, April 22.-Maria Barberi,
the italian woman who was yesterday
afternoon granted a new trial, will
probably be returned to the Tombs
this week from Sing Sing, where she
has been confined since her conviction
and sentence to death by electrocution
for the murder of her betrayer. The
opinion handed down by the court of
appeals contained about 5000 words
and was written by Judge O'Brien,
all the other judges concurring. In
substance, Recorder Goff's charge to
the jury is characterized as biased and
unfair. The case of Maria Barberi is
one of the most noted in the criminal
annals of the state The girl, an Ital-
ian of very low intelligence, followed
her lover into saloon and killed him
by slashing him savagely with a razor
She seized his head with one hand and
with the other drew the razor time and
again across his throat. almost decapi-
tating him. The murdcress was tried
and the jury found her guilty of muir
in the first degree. Immediately IL
number of men and women took up
the girls case. Letters and petitions
by the thousands poured in upon Gov.
Morton, urging him to save her.

Plans to the President.

Washington, April 22.-A committee
of the New York State Bar association

tion of an international court of arbi-
tration called on President Cleveland

establish a permanent international
court of arbitration, to be composed of
nine members, each representative to
be member of the supreme or highest
court of the nation he shall represent,
and to be chosen by majority of his
associates. because of his high charac-
ter as publicist and judge and his
recognized ability and irreproach-
able integrity. Each judge is to
hold office during life or the
will of the court selecting him The
court thus constituted is to make it's
own rules and to fix it's place of meet
ing. Controverted questions are to be
submitted by treaty between the dis
putting nations to the court with an eX-
press stipulation that all parties shall
conform to whatever determination the
court shall make of the controversy
Independent powers not represented in
the tribunal may submit controversies
to it's decision by complying with the
rules of the court on contributing such
stipulated amount to it's expenses as
may be provided for by the rules or de
termined by the court. 1t is recon-
mended that the president enter at
once into correspondence with repre-
sentatives of the governments of Great
Britain, France, Germany. Russia, The
Netherlands, Mexico, Brazil and the
Argentine Republic.

HIGH DESTINY THEIRS
cleveland Hopes To See the English

LETTER TO BIRMINGHAM CELEBRATION

EMessagc and Expresses the Hope That
Salisbury VIII Give Return
Grasp of the Hand.

Birmingham, April 22.-The thirty
second annual Shakespeare commemo-
ration of the birmingham Dramatic
and Literary club was held last night
in the Grosvenor room of the Grand
hotel. About 300 guests were present,
among them being Ambassador Bay
ard and Mrs Bayard. George w. Par
ker the American consul and presi-
dent of the club, occupied the chair. A
letter was read by Mr.. Parker from
President Cleveland acknowledging an
invitation to attend the celebration
Mr. Cleveland said: ''Everything that
tends to keep alive the memory
of Shakespeare and preserve a
proper appreciation of his work
challenges my earnest interest and
approval, and though / cannot be with
vou on the occasion you contemplate |
am glad to know that our American
people win be prominently represented.
There is much said and written in
these days concerning the relations
that should exist, bound close by the
strongest ties. between the English
speaking peoples. and concerning the
high destiny that awaits them in con-
certed effort. l hope we shall never
know the time when the ennobling
sentiment will be less often expressed
or in the least lose their po-
tency and influence. Surely if En-
glish speech supplies the token
of united effort for the good of
mankind and the impulse of an exalted
international mission, we do well to
honor fittingly the name and memory
of William Shakespeare.
