mer-Express Libel Case.
The libel suit for SO, 600 of ex-Deputy
Chas. A. Plummer VS.. the Evening
Express was continued yesterday in the
Supreme court, before Judge Strout.
The plaintiff took the stand again at
the request of Mr.. Coombs, to testify as
to his further investigation of the NUM-
cipal court records, showing that he took
out nuisance warrant against man,
because the search and seizure casa
against him was weak one.
COL. FRED N. DOW.
Col Fred N. Dow, half owner of the
Durant House and president and princi-
pal stockholder of the Evening Express
Publishing Company was called to
the witness stand and examined by Mr..
Coombs. He testified when asked as to
his occupation that he was generally
pretty busy. He had about 100 tenants
that he looked out for. He twas not an
active member of the bar but had prac-
tised law. In 1894, he was Collector of
this port; also half owner of the Durant
House with his brother -in-l law, Malcolm
+. Hammond. He was at that time
president of the Express corporation.

that Plummer asked him why he didn't
get tenant for the Fore street store.

TO the effect that tenant would lie Of
no use, if the sheriffs tore around there
as they had. Plummer said that there
wouldn't be much trouble if outsiders
didn't complain. PIummer would favor
him all he could.
In second conversation Coyle asked
Plummer about Toomey and Plummer
said that old Toomey would do all right.
Colye also told witness about his con
versation with Plummer us to the
sheriff's candidacy. Plummer was in
favor of Samuel d. Plummer. He had
no promise from the latter, but believed
that he would be all right. Also Chas
Plummer accused Coyle of supporting
Barker. Coyle told Plummer that if he
couldn't run that shop without being
obliged to support S. d. Plummer for
sheriff, he'd shut it up. Chas. Plum
mer then told Coyle not to expect &ny

Also Coyle told witness that after the
above talk his place was raided three
times. Then he met Deputy Sheriff

THE NEW TRAVELLING GOWN.

A letter from Paris says that the
travelling gown of the French mon
daine is somewhat more elaborate
sl,an that preferred by the American
and English woman-more elaborate
and more original, for she does not
cling to,indeed rarely uses, the jacket
suit for a journey. Some so-called
travelling gowns shown this week were
referred to by the dressmakers as their
earliest autumn models. An effective
suit is built of a roughly woven wool
in small black and white checks.
About the skirt are three deep tucks
with an edge Of white silk peeping be-
low each tuck. The stuff forming the
bodice is stretched over a fitted lining,
and shows only under arm seams. 1t
does not BLOUSE" in the least, but
there are few Fuckers where it dis
appears under the high directoire belt
of plaid silk. About the throat is an
odd collar of white silk, cut circular
and finely plated. The lower and
larger part Of the collar rests on the
gown, thu upper part making q frill
about the throat held by scarf choker
Of plaid silk tying in bow behind.

the hog house, four or five feet deep

at bottom. A sheet-iron cover is pro-
yided. A fire Of shayings is started In
the bottom, and corn cobs added by de-
grees as they get aglow util the pit
IS full. II they burn faster on one side,
lift them to the opposite side with q
pole. When all are well aglow, cover
the hole with the sheet iron and seal
edges with earth. Next morning there
should be twelve bushels of charcoal.
Store the charcoal in space salt barrels.

hot water and sprinkle 1t over the
mass with watering pot, mixing it

Of eyes which give to the face . sig
