THE NICHOLS CASE.
Francis Smith. Alias Nichols, Before
Judge Robinson.

Francis Smith, alias Nichols, the man
suspected of burglary whose arrest was
reported, was arraigned before Judge
Robinson in the municipal court yester-
day morning. Besides being suspected OF
the stealing of large amount of silver
ware, the man was also charged with
breaking into and entering the store OF
A. E. Stevens & Co., Of this city.
Assistant County Attorney Allen was
present as was also Mr.. Samuel A. Ste v
ems. The prisoner pleaded not guilty and
wa nted a hearing at once. The state,
however, moved that the case be contin-
ued for one week. Smith said that he
could secure counsel and the court al
lowed him to send for City Solicitor Nor
rill. A conference of a few minutes was
held between Mr. Morrill, and the re-
spondent and it was decided that the de-
Tense should waive hearing and enter a
plea of not guilty. Judge Robinson then
adjourned the hearing to Monday. Bail
was ordered in the sum of $60u but the
sureties were not furnished.
Parties in Boston have been notified of
the amount of silver that Smith has on
hand and the charge in that line will
doubtless be pressed in few days.

schooner once or twice to ascertain lust
how much damage had been inflicted and
Capt. Cavanau gh made out her name as
the "Mogda.
Capt. Cayanaugh hailed the steamship
and asked to be lowed into port by her.
The CAPTAIN of the stMogda'' told Capt.
Cavanaugh to send his boat on board the
steamship but the Polleys' only boat had
been smashed at the davitts in the COLI
sion. Finally, evidently satisfied that the
little schooner was not critically injured,
the Mogda squared away and steamed
into the fog. But now as she ploughed
her way toward the East she sounded her
big whistle every minute or two. This
steamship arrived at Rockland on We'd
nesday, bound for Bangor from Genoa.
She made no report of colliding with the
schooner Polleys.
The schooner succeeded in catching
IL, 000 halibut and then limped back
into port arriving here yesterday after
noon.

sea twenty years and more and this was
the narrowest esape from death he has
ever had.
The Louisa Polleys was lowed into the
harbor by the tug G. A. Dickey and will
repair here after which she will run out
again on another fishing trip.

J. G. MERRILL.

Las to the theological merits of this
controversy we have nothing to say,
knowing that Drs. Merrill and Blanchard
are thoroughly competent to take care
OF them; but we beg to assure DIR. Mer-
rill that if he is restrained from publish
ing in the PRESS whatever reply he may
see fit to make by the fear of boring our
readers, or the fear that he will not reach
the right constituency, he is permitting
himself to be influenced by misapprehen-
sion of the facts Our readers cannot be
bored by discussion between these two
eminent gentlemen; and as to the
PRESSES constituency, we beg to assure
DIR. Merrill that it embraces not only "a
large part of the readers of the Mirror,
but many Others. He will get much
wider hearing in the PRESS than he can
hope for in his own paper Further
more, there is peculiar propriety in
his responding to DR.. Blanchard in the
PRESS since in this paper the sermons
OF DIR. Blanchard appeared, and from it,
we strongly suspect, DIR. Merrill obtained
all the knowledge he has of them. Ed

In Response to DIR. Blanc hard.
TO the Editor of the Press:

TO the Editor of the. Press:
Portland, May 13-In response Ito re-
quest from the Rev. Henry Blanchard,
d. D., that the editor of the Christian
Mirror would substantiate characterize
ton of his series of discourses upon So
called Higher Criticism, permit me to
say that am very glad to perform the
easy task assigned me in the columns OF
my own paper where it seems to me
should have appeared the request that he
sent to you.
In my way of thinking there ought not
to be inflicted upon your readers an at
tempt to vindicate ones utterances against
charges that are made in a paper that
reaches quite another constituency than
that reached by your estilnable journal
Owing to the crowded state of the col
umns of the Mirror / shall be forced to
defer my reply until the issue of May 22d
and if DR.. Blanchard desires to make a
rejoinder the columns of the Mirror subse-
quent to that date will be open to him.
