MELCHER WINS.
Jury Awards Him Verdict Of Sf789 Against
His Former Love. Mrs. HadIey.

Lewiston, Oct. An the Melcher-
Hadley case Judge Emery began his
charge to the jury at 2 o'clock. His
charge was most impartial and able
and continued for one hour. He re-
viewed the case thoroughly going into
all the points of law involved in a
clear and lucid manner. The case was
given to the jury at 3 o'clock. At II
o'clock the jury reported with a ver-
dict for the plaintiff for $17S9.
1t is understood that the jury stood
II to l for the plaintiff on the first bal
lot. and that one man stood out for
eight hours, finally yielding to the
pressure of the other II. A number of
persons stayed in the court room with
eager expectancy awaiting the result
The counsel for the defence was inter-
viewed after the verdict was rendered
but declined to say whether a motion
for new trial would be made or not

Joe ksLLeY's CRAFTY MOVE.
very Plainly Trying 10 Excite Sympathy iss
himself BY Felsnlas insanity.

Manchester. N. H., Oct. "A special
to the Union from Dover, says that
Joseph E. Kelley, the murderer Of
Cashier Joseph Stickney of the Great
Falls National Bank of SomerswOrth
has issued letter to the public In
which Kelley declares he Is not insane
The letter is as follows:
ITO the Public
Il am not insane or crazy. / never
was or will be. This talk of my being
insane and all such stuff is all bosh
Lots Of quack doctors came to see me
and grinned at me. but they did not
dare tell me any such thing. All they
are doing is robbing this country. N0
one ever asked me whether or not
was insane. They know, know, an
not insane and when l know l am not,
that settles 1t.
"Jailor Hayes is the man who is in
sane. and not I. Why don't the good
people Of the state have him examined.
No they want him to have me exam
ined, and say / am the one that is as
crazy as bed-bug.
Now, good people, I don't know
whether you will receive this timely
warning or not / have tried many
times since l was shut up in this hell
to let you know all about myself and
Jailer Hayes. You have not taken any
steps in the matter, so 1 am led to be-
lieve that my letters never reached
you. / hope this one has better luck.
"Jailer Hayes is insane. There is no
doubt Of it. l have watched him sharp
ly during my stay here, and plainly
see that he is growing weaker every
day.
This is too bad. l pity this goo1
man, and often wonder why something
is not done for him. All of us prison
ers have noticed the symptoms and
asked the cook to give him better med
icine. We only get laughed at.
1T Is time the authorities should
know something about Mr.. Hayes con-
dition and do something for him. He
comes to me and sits down and talks
one minute and grins the next, about
my case. He says he don't want to see
me hurt and appears to worry about
my trial. My trial is turning his head.
Unless something is done at once for
him, the trial and the thought of his
being compelled to hang me January 1S,
1898. will in few days make of him a
raving lunatic. His actions now indi-
cate it. Oh. please do treat him at
once. go and get those doctors that ex-
amined me. before it is too late. l
demand that at once. as want to fin-
ish my poetry"
The Union correspondent visited Kel-
ley's counsel and asked them about the
pVyo 1Snt 1a
letter was news to him, but that during
the past few weeks Kelley had told him
and Mr.. Edgerly about his notices
about Mr.. Hayes mental condition.
He also told u.s. said Mr.. Ryan,.
how he would some day, succeed in
letting the public know about them.''
The trial is set for November 8. but
the date is subject to change.

HAD TOO MUCH POISON.
Leonard N. Wheeler Of Pittsfeld. Is Taken
Care Of on that Account.

Pittsfeld, Oct. 4-For the safety of
the public Leonard NJ. Wheeler of this
place, was committed to the county
Jail, today, in default of furnishing $500.
after having threatened his whole fam
lily of IL persons with death. Wheeler
is mill operative and for some time he
has been drunk, which has probably
unbalanced his mind. Friday, he in
formed his wife that employment had
been obtained by him at North Vassal-
boro, to which place he desired her and
his children to go with him. This re =
quest was denied and then the man
made all manner of threats, acting in
an abusive manner.
Complaint was made and Officer
Coron arrested Wheeler, who was taken
before Justice Bowden, where he was
searched, and in his clothing was found
small packages of five kinds of poison,
which Wheeler stated he had good
use for, insinuating the lives of his
family and these death warrants would
come in contact. The poisons were
laudanum, iodide of mercury, bromide
of potassium, Paris green and rat
poison.
Justice Bowden placed Wheeler under
$500 bonds for appearance before the
grand jury, which the man could not
supply, and he was committed at SHOW
hegan.

SCROFULA
It is Foul Blood's Advertise.
ment
But It ls Soon Cured by Hoods
9arsaparilla.

But u l8 Soon Cured by Hoods
8arsapariIia.
Yes, Scrofula, II ifanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world offensive, painful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unendurable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
taint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, SO far o. we
know, has almost invariably succeeded =
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of taint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with Inn
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.

day, where he applied for the position
of dresser at the woolen mill. He re-

NIPPED THE REVOLUTION.
But Matters in Uruguay Are Not Set
tied Yet.

LONDON. Nov. pa dispatch from
Montevideo to the Times says: "On
Friday evening last the government
frustrated a plot of the adherents of
ex-President Herrera y Obes in the
legislature to kidnap and dispose Senior
Cuestas. who succeeded to the presi-
dency ad interim after the asassina-
ton of Senior Borda The discovery of
this plot has produced strong popular
demonstrations in favor of Senior
Cuestas, whose candidature for the
presidency is now formally proclaimed
by the Blancos and by all the parties
except the adherents of the old re-
CINE. The latter, who, owing to the
corrupt electioneering methods they
have used. constitute a large majority
in the legislature, refuse to accept
Senior Cuestas and threaten to elect a
retrogressive president. The dissolu-
ton of the chamber, which is generally
regarded as the only step that will
save the country from disaster and an
other revolution, would be warmly ap-
proved by public opinion, and the army
would probably support Senior Cuestas
against both chambers, which would
then be powerless. Senior Cuestas de-
clares his determination to stand by
the people, to give honest and econom-
ical government and to protect for
eign interests, and he asserts that for
eign residents as we'll as the natives,
should be consulted on public affairs
and in the selection of the president.

By this time Gen. Taylor had got his
wind, and roard out. Let him alone,
he will make a good soldier" and that
was the last heard of the incident. It
is said that the recruit justified Tay-
lor's judgment.
SAVED HIS EARS WITH SOAP.
On another occasion one of the pri-
Yates in company laid a wager with
his chum that he would do something
on parade to attract Gen Taylor's at
tention and draw down his wrath
while escaping a "wooling" AS might
be expected the bet was promptly
taken. That day just before the as
sembly was sounded the joker covered
his ears with coating of soap. When
the parade was formed he managed to
attract the attention of the command
er, and. as expected, the latter came
striding down the line with a scoWl on
his forehead that BODIED no good for
the offender. Reaching the man he
grasped both his ears, but to his sur
prise his grip slipped. Once more he
attempted to get his usual lock and
again he failed. By this time those i'll
the vicinity had grasped the situation
and were on the borders of apOpexy
in trying to prevent laughing in the
ranks. The joker in the meantime kept
as sober as mute at a funeral with
his eyes to the front,
Taylor, after the second attempt TO
seize the fellows ears, caught on to
the joke. but by this time was so
angry that he called a file Of soldiers
and had the joker taken to the guard
house, from which. however. he was
soon released when the commandments
anger had time to cool Gen. Taylor
left Fort Crawford in 1886, going to
Florida, and from there to Mexico,
where he won undyirg fame.
He was followed as commandant Of
the post by Gen Brooks. who wanted
a new house. The government would
not give the permits don to rebuild. but
did consent to repairs. Gen. Brooks
on this tore down the house to the
stills and erected thereon a home to
suit him. This house forms part Of
the LaWler homestead at the present
time The fort was finally abandoned
by the government in 1856, It's garrison
at the time being four companies Of
rif1emen, who were transferred TO Fort
Smelling. From that time the elements
were allowed to do their work. and
now the last of the old fort has dis
appeared.

THE DAUNTLEss REFORMS.
No Longer n Daring FfIibuster, But
Respectable Tug Boat.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov I'll
The Dauntless returned to this port
from mysterious voyage on Nov. -,
after having been lost sight of from
Savannah for nearly a month. She
went into dry dock and received some
repairs and in three days was ready
for sea. She was chartered to tow a
vessel to Savannah and left on Thurs
day last for that port, She was halted
at the st. Johns bar by the Vesuvius,
and Capt. Pillsbury sent an officer to
make a thorough investigation for evil
dences of filibustering. Finding none,
the tug was released and proceeded
with her tow to Savannah, claiming
that was her destination. Her owners
say the towing business of Jacksonville
is not sufficient to -pay-and they seek
other ports for remunerative business.
There is no evidence or suspicion that
she has other filibustering schemes en-
foot, as she has reRorted at Savannah
and begun work there!f
WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. N.-There
was much excitement here today when
it became known that fifteen fully arm
ed government deputies are guarding
the steamer Laurada, which has been
in Harlan & Hollingsworth's shipyard
since her seizure by the United States
authorities some months ago, for fill
clustering. A rumor was abroad that
a body of men intended to seize the
vessel, presumably for the purpose of
another Cuban expedition. Nothing
definite could be learned, but at mid
night the deputies were still at their
pest, and no person was permitted to
pass the gates Of the yard.
