COURT MARTIAL FINDINGS.
Sentences of Mullan and Corwine
Approved by Secretnry Long.

Almost the first official act of Secretary
Long yesterday after his return TO duty
was to send to the President the record
or the court Inartials in the cases of Com
mander Dennis w Mullan and Paymaster
john Corwine. The finding Of the court
in Commander Mullan's case was coDvc-
ton on charges of intoxication, and the
sentence was dismissal from the service
In Corwine's case 1t was dismissal and i'm
prisonment, because of conviction on
charges Of the einbezZlemenu of about
$4,000.
The Secretary approved the findings in
each case, before submitting them to the
President. great effort has been made
by Corwine's friends to save him from
imprisonment, and it is thought that
the President may be lenent No one can
guess what action the President will take
In reference to Commander Mullan.
The conviction was great surprise to
the commander. He had been SO con-
fident of acquittal that before all the
evidence was in during his trial he ap

The World of Business.
Wall Street Yesterday.

New York, July Underlying a super
ficiai appearance Of irregularity, the stock
market today showed tendency 10 re-
covery from the reaction OF the past few
days. In the standard stocks decided
firmness developed which was but little
affected by the occasional weakness In
the more speculative issues. The traders
were quick to detect the changed condi-
lions In the dealings and the covering of
the contracts gave particular strength To
certain stocks.
In the early dealings a good deal OF
stress was laid upon the threatened labor
troubles in Pennsylvania, but private ad-
wees were received to the effect that
there was no Immediate danger in respect
TO the troubles In the manufacturing lines,
and that, In the event OF strike of
the bituminous coal operatives, their places
could easily be filled. The statement Of
the Louisville Nashville Railroad for
the month of May showed satisfactory
increase in the net returns
Conspicuous movements in the market
took place In Bay State Gas and in Chicago
Gas, both of which were heavy The first
named declined on misapprehensions in
regard to certain moves Of inside in
terests on the property in suit at law
over the affairs OF another concern, which
was confused with the affairs OF the Bay
State Company The rapidity with which
the stock broke did not reflect much con-
fidence in the stability of the property
The strongest features of the market
Were the granger shares and Manhattan
st Paul was the leader in the first
naraed group and advanced on reports
that the statements of the last week OF
June would show the largest earnings
Tor the period In the history of the COM
pany- The company's fiscal year ended
yesterday, and il Is estimated that the net
earnings for the period will be equal to
1-2 Per cent on the stock The notable
strength of Manhattan was not explained
by any developments in the companys
affairs, although il revived many ruInors
which have previously done service The
shipment of 100000 gold on Saturday
was annolnced as being undertaken On
special orders.
The market closed very dull but near the
top prices of the day.

"Mr. j. Edward Addicks says there is

survey of the condition of the field was
taken Attention was called to localities
in several counties of the States where
slight difficulties existed.
1t was onsidered a marked instance
of the success and good influence of the
Commission that during the last year no
case had arisen of sufficient importance
to demand the assembling of the execu-
tive committee.
A special committee was appointed to
make brief re-statement of the purposes
of the organization, and have it extern
sively reported in all the secular and re
ligious papers of the State.
The next annual meeting will De held
in Bangor in the middle of May, 1898.

MISCELLANEOUS.
HOME TESTIMONY.
Can Amy Be Stronger, Carry More Weight
or Be More Convincing Than Portland
Testimony.

There must be some potent virtue in
an article when it finds such advocates as
MIR. h. W. Greedy, freight conductor on
the Boston q Maine rallrOad and Port
land citizen. Ii you should happen not
to know him you can easily ascertain
who he is and you are not obliged to leave
the city limits for the information. You
may Pass lightly over an account OF some
obscure citizen in some out Of the way
country village, when you run down the
columns of your fdVOrlte daily, but the
case IS different when the SUBJECT OF the
1etch is neighbor. Then the subject OF
the sketch can be seen on the street ana
be spoken to. If you have not kidney
trouble yourself perhaps you have a friend
or an acquaintance who has. Can you
by accident or investigation get any
remedy backed up by stronger evidence: :
Mr.. Greedy lives at 243 Brackett street
and like 1nany other railroad employees,
the jarring of the train and exposure at
way stations in damp and lncielnenG
weather aggravated and fostered kidney
trouble He says: 1.-Two years ago l
suffered from backache. 1t got worse IN
place of better, and during the last SIX
months OF that time | was IN constant
pain. As with SO many other people, 1t
settled in my back. At night 1t was
terrible. l could not lie on either side for
any length of time and in shifting my
position. it was almost unbearable. In
stopping over, strengthening up or lifting,
I was always reminded by q sharp sting
ing twinge that the plague was there.
Some time last winter | went to H. H.
Hay & Sons drug store, at the junction
of Middle and Free streets, and got u box
of Doan' S Kidney Pills which I noticed
very highly recommended. l was lucky
in my selection, for they removed the
backache. L feel like different man.
The chance it gives d man to sleep
means great deal Let others affected
like me only try Doan's Kidney Pills,
and like me they will recommend them. ;"
