the Convicted Murderer.
Justice Williams Says Nothing Irreg-
uIar in Judge ArnoId's Ruling.
Holmes Had Apparently Given Up Hope Be-
fore Decision Was Known.

Philadelphia, March 4.-The supreme

gave up hope of securing new trial be-

made known.

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
Game Birds From Old Sweden Liberated in
the Town OF New Sweden.

Caribou, March i.-(SpcciaD. An ex-
pertinent of great interest to oil lovers oi
sport in this State has just been made al
New Sweden by the commissioners Of in
land fisheries and game, in the introduc
ton of the capercailzie and black game OF
old Sweden into that town Two pair OF
and three males, and four females of the
black game. These birds have Just
arrived directly from old Sweden, and
were liberated in the north part Of the
town of New Sweden
Although the birds were captured wild,
and have been kept in close confinement
for some time, they were, nevertheless,
strong and healthy and after the first few
minutes of being freed, looked about their
new home in an apparently pleased and
contented manner.
After 50 long a confinement ii was
anticipated that they might be weakened.
and, possibly unable TO lily, yet the
moment their cages We're opened they
made short flight.
The Swedes are very much pleased that
these birds are being introduced, and
specially SO that they are liberated in
their own town. Had they been notified
when they We're to have been set free
doubtless the whole colony would have
been present. As 1t was, without any
notice, there was n good number present,
every one Of whom may be depended upon
to guard these birds as they would their
own families. A poacher after this game
would stand a good show of being lynched
If they should catch him. 1t is believed
that this game is we'll adapted to the
conditions in Northern Maine and will
increase rapidly.
