THAT BAKER ARREST.
Story from, waterville Abrut It-Partic-
ulars from Hon. VIM. T, Haines, MIR
Bakers Attorney.

A special to Mondays Lewiston Sun
from Watervill5 gives the following YER
sion of the affair that led to the arrest of
Chas. H. Baker, of Portland:
"Great surprise is manifested here at
the arrest OF the favorably known COM
mercial man, Charles Il. Baker, of Port
day at the instigaton of Harvey ID.
Eaton, Esq, acting attorney for Edward
Ware. City Marshal MoFadden went to
Portland and made the arrest. Tho
charge against Baker is that he obtained
the Endorsements Of Ware on q note for
$500 given in October, 1895, to the Water
vile Trust Co., and pledged security of
$40, 900 life insurance policies in the Mas
saohusetts Mutual. The claim is that
the insurance policies were fake Now
here ara the full particulars from Hon.
VIM. I. Haines, Mr.. Bakers attorney.
Mr.. Baker did give such q note, and
it was endorsed by Edward Ware as
claimed. He did give security in the
shape of such policies as have been men
toned and said policies were in proper
form and regularly issued, bearing date
of March %, 1895, divided in sums of
$4,000 each. These were assigned to Mr..
Ware as security in October, 1895, and
were accepted by him in good faith. The
note was due Februar %. 1896. M. Baker
L.
the expiration of said note to make some
arrangement to get it renewed He had
an interview with Ware, and he said that
he would renew the note, if he could
place it at the Waterville Trusts Com
pany's bank, and asked him to go and see
the president, Hon. /. G. Libby. He
Went, and this is Mr.. Libby's rejoinder:
II will renew the note if can, but can
not say now; but will ascertain and
write you at Portland" Baker attempted
to renew the note in Portland, but was
unable to see party CONNECTED with a
Portland bank as soon rs was desirable,
so he wrote Mr.. Ware he would see this
party the following Monday and write
him what he said.
Baker tired to raise the money else
where and failed. He visited Wateryille
on Wednesday. Feb. 5, which was the
last day of grace on the note, and saw
Mr.. Eaton and he assured him that there
would be no trouble ON this note for q
month. Trouble unexpected however,
has risen and Mr.. Baker feels keenly,
the disgrace that is attached to a tran
ga ction wherein he feels in nowise at
fault -
Mr. Baker has found no trouble in the
city in procuring bonds among the best
business element for his appearance at the
April term of the Supreme court for Ken
nebeo county.

The Ball Before Waterloo.

Wellington's conduct is riddle.
About the middle of the afternoon he
was informed, through the Prince Of
Orange, as to his enemy's movements.
With perfect calm, he commanded
that his troops should be ready in their
cantonments; at five he issued orders
for the divisions to march with view
to concentration at Nivelles, the east
ernmost point that he intended to oc-
cupy; at ten, just as he was setting out
for the Duchess of Richmond's ball, he
gave definite instructions for the con-
centration to begin. About twenty
minutes after the Prince of Orange had
reached the ballroom Wellington sent
him quietly away, and then, summon
ing the Duke of Richmond, who was
to have command of the reserve when
formed, he asked for map. The two
withdrew to an adjoining room. We'll
lington closed the door, and said, with
an oath, Napoleon has humbugged
me-" He then explained that he had
ordered his army to concentrate at
Quatre Bras, adding, "But we shall
not stop him there; and IL so, ! must
fight him here" marking Waterloo
with his thumb-nail on the map as he
spoke.-Century.

separated from those of his old home and
that of Dora, on Gramescy Park, by the
brief New York back yards in which they
used 10 play together. The Goldthwait
house was dark 1t had been ever since
the day Dora left. Next to it, where his
fathers mansion loomed up against the
trees beyond, lights were often seen. But
strangers occupied the familiar rooms.
On Thanksgiving Eve just five years
since he had left his old life behind him
Jack went to his dingy little window to
gaze at the two mansions. He shivered
with cold; but the blood rushed quickly to
his face when he saw the home of the girl
he still loved. brightly lighted up. For
an instant he stood still. amazed. Then
he sat down on his bed 20 think. Finally,
downhearted and discouraged, he turned
to a great pile of manuscript and rubbish
on the floor, and picking book from the
nondescript mass he turned over the
leaves.

Thanksgiving Day found Jack poorer
and hungrier than he had ever been be
fore in his life. For forty-eight hours he
had not tasted food. but he determined to
breakfast in spite of the almost total
emptiness of his pocketbook. He turned
his face toward the lower portion of the
city, determined to accept whatever work
offered itself, but it was a holiday, and
after several hours spent in tramping the
quiet streets Jack turned his face home

clatter on the stones behind attracted his
attention and driyerless cab dashed in
to sight. An elderly ma n was gesticulat-

the roadway, and Jacks sinewy hand

Anylo-Saxon and English Languages
The English language In use to-day

the Stammerer, who lived at about the

changed, but the changes In the French
have been by what may be called inter

In Due Form.

A man was arraigned in an Arkansas
court many years ago for stealing a
young pig out Of his neighbor's pen;
said pig, or shoat, being alleged to be
worth dollar and half.
The evidence was conclusive, and the
jury, after brief retirement, brought
in their verdict, Guilty of hog-stealing
in the first degree"
The judge remarked that the finding
was proper enough, except that it fail
ed to assess the value of the pig; and,
further, that there were no degrees in
hog stealing. He must ask the jury to
retire again, and bring in a verdict in
due form.
The jury went out, with pen, ink and
paper, but were badly nonplused over
that word 'form." Finally one of them,
who had formerly been Justice Of the
peace, drew up a document to which
the other eleven assented, and with
which all hands returned to the court
room. This was the verdict: I'VE, the
jeurey, pusilanimously find the defend
ant gilty in the sum of dollar and n
in favor of the hog"
