The Superior Court at Portland has
recently been the arena of several gen
uine surprises. The case against Rose
Dolley, upon indictment for murder of
her infant child, when she was put upon
the witness stand. contrary to previous
statement by her, made in way of con-
fesson duplicating herself as the one
| who committed the deed, testified that
her mother took the child into the woods
saying she would take care Of it, and re-
turned without it. The mother under
| indictment as an accessory before the
| fact, testified to this, and upon motion
of Attorney General Powers, Judge
Bonney directed the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty, which was prompt
| ly done. Tuesday last Mrs. Ellen DOlley
was brought into court and put upon
| trial for murder. She retracted her plea
of not guilty and pleaded guilty. The
Judge adjudged her crime, murder in
| first degree. Another surprise to the
public generally, was the freeing OF
James Lewis, convicted of the murder
of Byron G. Coburn, and who was grant
ed new trial by the law court, upon At.
torney General Powers moving that the
case be mol pressed, becauseo newly dis
covered evidence. Judge Bonney approx
ed this motion and Lewis was discharg-
ed. Tie apprehension of the murderer
of Byron G. Cohurn seems TO be remote
as the new evidence is said to throw NJ
new light upon this phase of the case.

on Important AIattcrs
Washington, April 13.-The house and
senate confreres on the legislative.
executive and judicial appropriation
bill have held several meetings, but
have not as yet agreed upon a COM
plete compromise. Disagreement has
been reported on several of the most
important points of difference. The
house confreres refused to accept the
senate amendments to raise the sala-
ries of United States district attorneys
and marshals. The house proposition
that commissions of all commissioners
of United States courts terminate the
list of July next. has been abandoned.
There has been a somewhat bitter
discussion over the senate amendment
to increase the salaries of clerks to
senator's from 81. 200 to 81, 500. The house
confreres took a stand against what
they termed the extravaganza of the
senate in providing for itself. Repre-
sentatives are allowed clerks whose
salaries are 800 a month during the
Sessions of congress and some do not
avail themselves OF this allowance
while each senator has a clerk at an
annual salary OF 81, 200.

Asiatic Cholera and Other scourges Rem
dered Harmless by the X Ray.
Chicago. April 13.-Prof. w. b. Pratt
and Hugh Wightman. the elctro- -thera-
peutic and the bacteriologist of Ben
nett college of this city, claim to have
practically proved within the last week
that epidemics will be impossible In
the future. They claim that Asiatic
cholera is no more to be feared than
earache, and that diphtheria. glandez1
and typhoids must all yield to the new
remedy, the Roentgen rays. The vari-
Gus germs were grown in tubes In
proper media. Magnetic lines of force
from the Crookes' tubes were passed
through them. The application lasted
two hours. Cholera was the easiest
and appears to have been wiped out
entirely. Diphtheria has been treated
very tenderly and favorably, but after
eight days have failed to show the
faintest sign of life. There has been
no activity in the bacteria of other
classes and with certain notifications,
the doctors are now ready to announce
that the ray. properly applied, will de-
stroy any form of infectious or conta-
gious germs. This Is endorsed by the
college faculty, and the entire electrical
equipments, the best in the West, VIII
be turned over this week for future
proof of the discovery, which Is now
maintained to be a fact.

Basin, Mont, April 13.-All hopes of re-
covering the entombed men above the
water level in the Hope mine have been
abandoned. 1t is believed that the six
men are down on the 300-foot level with
a shaft full of dirt and debris over them.
Every hole that a man could get into

concluded that further search would be
in vain. Sinking the new shaft to connect
with the old Slopes will be pushed. IL is
said, and men will be put along the shaft
in the slopes to clean IT out to the water
level, when a pump will be put in and
work pushed to the bottom or until the
bodies are recovered.
The inquest will be resuemd to-mor-
row. The state mining inspector is in Ba-
sin and the company will be represented
by a lawyer from Helena. From reports
IL is said that the relatives of the en-
tombed men will be represented too. and

covering the bodies. said he could not tell
