citizens mobbed the members of the city
council last night when they passed an
objeotionab measure. Ten men were
injured, six Of them seriously and the
whole police force was called out before

the ordinance last night aud it was

A great crowd had assem- bled, and
when the vote was announced they

ing the councilmen. Chairs, clubs,
ouspidors and lamps were used. About
twenty friends of the oounGilmen fought
hard, but the invaders were stronger and

COSTS WERE $4,000.
Expense of Trial More Than Twice Prop
erty Involved.

South Paris, May 10. The case of Mrs.
Abigail 7. Wardwell against the Robin
son Manufact uring Company of Oxford,
suit for damages for fowage alleged to
have been caused by raising the dam of
the Oxford woolen mills, went to the Jury
last night after seven days. trial in the
Oxford County Supreme court.
At midnight the jurors having failed
to agree, Judge Whitehouse called them
in and gave them brief lecture. Then
he sent them back to the jury room
where they remained till T. 80 when they
sent word to the judge that there was no
possibility of agreeing and he ordered
their release.
The disagreement was officially an
nounced at the reassembling of court this
morning. The jury stood nine to three
in favor Of the plaintiff. There was
much complaint among the jurors be-
cause they were confined so long in q
cold room.
The total cost of this trial including
counsel fees, is said 60 exceed $1,000.
The Wardwell farm was recently sold to
the defendant company for $500.
There was a sensation this morning
when the court announced that an at
tempt had been made to influence the
jury in an Illegal manner by printed
copies of the evidence used at another
trial W. o. rockingham, Paris jury
man. said that such copy had been left
at his store by a tall wJman in black,
accompanied by freeman Andrews, one
Of the plaintiffs attorneys. Freeman
Andrews denied any knowledge of the
circular, but said the woman was Mrs.
Llewellyn Spur. Llewellyn Spur sesti-
fed that the circulars, Joseph Robinson's
testimony in another suit, were printed
year ago to distribute in Otisfeld,
but had not been used in this suit with
his knowledge. Did not know that Mrs.
Spur had left one at Frothingham's s.?
The court directed the county attorney
to investigate and lay the result before
the gland jury.

WILL DISREGARD PARTY.
COMMUNICATIONS of the Country Will
Vote for the Gold Standard.

New York, May l3-Gustave q.
Schward. chairman of the executive Of
the sound money committee of the New
York Chamber of Commerce, in state
ment issued tonight says he is convinced
from his knowledge of the German
American fellow citizens and their ways
of thinking, that the vast majority of
them throughout the country in the in
coming contest will entirely disregard
party ties, and vote for that party which
declares for the maintenance beyond the
possibility of doubt of the gold standard
of value, and they will not give the
suffrage to any candidate who may be
pledged to free coinage Of silver or to-
ward any compromise with the silver
people. The German-Americans, Mr.
Schward declares, considers the para
mount question before the country ab
present in the integrity of our monetary
system and their votes will go to that
party which they believe will uphold the
oountry's financial honor, regardless of
what their views may be on other ques-

Tram Car.

East Walpole, Mass, May 13.-Five
girls employed in the box shop deparJ-
ment of E. W. Bird & Sons paper mills,
had narrow escsape from death shortly
afternoon today. Misses Kate and Mar
tina Nugent, Maggie Henderson. Grace
Adams, and Nellie Leonard, induced a
young man to push them about on the
lower tracks of a cable tramway used
to transport paper from the shipping de-
partment of the mills to the freight cars.
The paper car was going around the
curve across the short bridge which
passes between the two mill buildings
when the car jumped the track and went
into the raceway. Maggie Nugent and
Maggie Henderson jumped from the car
and escaped injury. The other three
girls were thrown into the water.
Nellie Lsonard became entangled in
the car and went over with it. She was
picked up bruised and unconscious. Her
injuries we're not serious. Kate Nugent
was badly injured about the head.
Grace Adams, who was an expert swim
mer, was taken out of the water unhurt.
