SAN PEDRO SPRINGS PARK.

A scene from San Pedro Springs park
adorns our page. This beautiful park
is the property of the city, and at pres
ent in charge of Mr.. Joe Cooley, as Gus
todian. Two lines of street cars reach
the Springs from every part Of the
city, and a delightful spot for the
stranger to visit. The Springs bubble
up from the rocky depths of the hills
as clear as the waters of Paradise.
Among the several springs two are of
special value for their mineral quail
ties being mild chalybeate in character.
The little lake formed by the dam
that throws the water into the old ir-
rigating ditch, is full of fish. The no
bic forest trees afford a grateful shade.
Opposite the entrance on San Pedro
avenue are the baseball grounds. Joe
has but recently been inaugurated as
custodian; his energy and taste will
soon make the Springs what they
should be. Joe is the most famous
mixologist in the state, and is known
far and ~wide.-Texas Liquor Dealer.

JOE kElLer's TRIAL.
Conference Of Counsel Decides that u Shall
Commence. Nov. 8.

Dover. N. H.. Sept. 2S.-After several
consultations between counsel in the case
of Joseph L. Kelley, the Somersworth
murderer n bank robber, 1t has been
decided that his trial will b. begun on
Monday, o 8. A special panel of jurors
will be drawn. from which the men who
will decide the case will be chosen.
At the latest conference, County Solicit
tor Mason informed Kelley's lawyer that
the defendant would probably be ar
raigned the latter part of this week, as
the state wished to ascertain what the
plea would be. Mr.. Mason was informed
that it would be not guilty. and from the
fact that medical experts a made fire.
quent visits to the STAFFORD county Jail
of late. it is believed. indicates that the
defence will be insanity.
Chief Justice Carpenter and Judge
Lewis w. Clark will sit during the trial
against Attorney General Eastman, and
County Solicitor Mason will conduct the
prosecution, while James H. Edgerly of
SOmersworth, and James Ryan, Jr., of
Dover, will act for Kelley.
1t is the opinion of lawyers, who are
watching the case, hat the trial will not
more than one week, and may
possibly not require ever that time. Some
think there is a prospect that the state
will be asked to accept a plea of guilty
in the second degree. before the case
comes to trial.

THE WAITE ARSON TRIAL.
Defence Endeavoring to Have Boston Detcc
tives' Testimony Ruled Out.

Portland, Sept. 2S.-The superio,
court room was crowded all day, today,
as a result of the sensational turn ths
Waite arson case has taken. The pro-
ceedings were not so exciting as the
previous day although a few new
points were brought out in the cross
examination of Henry j. Brady, the de-
tective, who was on the stand from 3
O'Clock in the morning until 5 in the
afternoon, being subject to a most
rigid questioning by Mr.. Heckbert,
counsel for the defense. The witness
was made to go all I'VE his testimony
of Monday, but despite the sharp cross
examination, the main points in Mr.,
Brady'S story were not shaken.
The most sensational event Of the
day was when Mr.. Brady in answer to
a question by Mr.. Heckbert testified
that Waite told him that setting fires
was naturally in him; that he had beel
an incendiary when a boy and that his
father had tried to make him confess
without success.
Late this afternoon, when Mr..
Pritchard, who was Brayd's associate
in the case, was put on the stand, Mr..
Heckbert made the same objection as
he did when Brady was produced as a
witness. He contended that such testi-
mony cannot properly be given before
a jury before it has first been sub
mitted to the judge, who after hearing
arguments of counse would decide as
to it's admissibility or whether any por-
ton of it should be stricken out.
Judge Bonney overruled the objec-
ton in the first instance, but, today.
took the matter Under consideration
and adjourned court until tomorrow,
when he will his decision.
The defence will furnish about 40 wit
nesses, and it will thus be seen that the
trial bids fair to be a protracted one.

TOOK PARIS GREEN.
Suicide Of Allan HalIett a Re-
spected Sidney Farmer.
No Cause Known Except Brooding
Over Failure Of the Crops.
Was Veteran Of Late War and Had SI2 a
Month Pension.

W%aterville. Sept. 2S.-(SpeciaD.-Al-
Ian Hallett, a well-to-do farmer Of
Sidney, and a veteran of the late war,
committed suicide, Monday, by taking
paris green. Just after taking dinner
Mr.. Hallett took down some paris
green that he kept on a shelf in the
shed and told his wife that he guessed
This is just what l want" and then
went out to the stable and took some
of the poison. Shortly afterward, hav-
ing returned to the house he COM
planned of severe pains in the stomach.
1t was not until he was satisfied that
the deadly poison had taken sufficient
effect to prove fatal that he would tell
his wife what he had done. Physicians
from Oakland and Center Sidney were
summoned but when the doctors ar
rived the unfortunate man was beyond
help and died at about 4 o'clock.
The deceased had enjoyed fairly good
health, but of late had beer somewhat
respondent over the failure of his
crops. He often made the remark that
he would have to call upon the town
before the winter was over and that
seemed to distress him very much.
The neighbors think that his mind
must have become effected by his
brooding over the failure of his crops.
for he drew a pension of $12 per month
from the federal government, and there
was no need for him to. fear that he
would have to call on the town.
Mr. Hallatt WAS widely known and
highly respected, was aged 81 years
and is survived by his wife and one
son, who is married and resides at
home.
The funeral will be held, tomorrow nj
10 o'clock, inc will be conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Stevens of Oakland.

Government Receipts Are Daily Increasing 70
An Encouraging Degree.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The Septem-
Der monthly statement of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures will
show a material decrease in the deficit
as compared with August. The in
crease that will be shown in the re-
ceipts from internal revenue sources
seems to justify the expectation of the
treasury officials, that by Jan. / next
the deficit will have been reduced to a
nominal amOut.
The excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts SO far this month amounts to
something over So, ESQ. 900. but it is ex-
pected that by Oct. l this excess will
AVE been reduced to $4,000. 900 or less,
making the deficit for the first quarter
of the fiscal year about $2S. 900, 900. In
ternal revenue officials call attention to
the fact that already the receipts from
internal revenue exceed those of last
year by about S. 900, 900. and confident
ly predict that by Jan. / this increase
will have reached 8, 900. 600 and possibly
s.. 900, 900.
The receipts from customs SO far
show no material gains, nor is it ex-
pected that any substantial improve
ment will be shown until after the first
of the year.. Sugar is then expected to
figure prominently in the receipts, and
before the close Of the calendar year
much is expected from wool imports.
The expenditures on account of the
Pacific railroads at the beginning of
the year will be exceptionally heavy.
On Jan. 1 there will be due matured
bonds of the Central Pacific to the
amount of SO, GA, 120; Union Pacific,
$l,599, 512; Kansas Pacific, $1,423, 900;
Central Branch of the Union Pacific,
$500. 900: Sioux City and Pacific, $685.
800. making a total of $29, 904, 952.
In addition to his amount the in
terest payments on Jan l will aggre-
gate approximately 1000. 900.
If. however, the offer of the reorgan-
izatiOn committee of the Union Pacific
be accepted, about $40 200. 900 would be
added to the available cash in the
treasury. and would reduce the Janu-
airy payments on account of the Paci-
fc roads by about 81, 600. 600. 900. Esti-
mating the deficit for the next three
months at 81, 000. 900, exclusive of pay
ments on account of the Pacific rail-
roads, the available cash balance of
the treasury at the close of the first
hall of h fiscal year will be about
$1O,O 0O, 900 in excess of the present fig
ures, or $225. 900. 900. This will be a net
loss for the six months of SIS, 600, 900.
Summing UP the situation, the treas
ury officials confidently predict that be-
fore the close of the calendar year the
receipts will fully equal or exceed the
needs of the government.
