Bath, Me, Dec. 16.-The creditors Of

ure caused a sensation in the summer

to dispose OF the assets in such manner
as in their judgment will yield the
largest net result to the creditors.
Messrs. j. c. Jameson and H. w
SWanton made two propositions, one OF
which was to pay per cent in four
months and the same percentage in \.
Il and IL months. making 40 per cent.
in all. The other proposition was 10
per cent. in 10 days, and in 4, and l.

BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofaIa Sores.
"At the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. ! also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished. the sores were we'll and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofhlous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. 8. s. WRoTEN, Farming

JONES UNDER ARREST.
Accuses Father tf Poisoning Mother, but Is
In Turn Accused.

Dover N H.. Dec 16-Alfred w. Jones
of Milton. is behind the bars at the cOun-
ty jail, tonight, charged with the wilful
murder of his mother, Sally w. Jones of
Milton. This is the case where young
Jones, in accusing his father of poisoning
his mother. demanded that the body of
the latter be eXhumed and examined.
This was done, and Prof. Wood of Har-
ward, reported that the viscera contained
much arsenic. An inquiry was opened
and in furthering it County Solicitor Ma
son. accompanied by Deputy Sheriff
George w. Parker, went to Milton, this
morning.
In a short time after their arrival there
they became convinced that the evidence
was sufficient to warrant the arrest of
young Jones. The necessary papers were
made out by Solicitor Mason. and Deputy
Sheriff Parker went to the home of Jones
about two miles outside the town. and
placed him under arrest. ne arrived in
this city at 4.5O O'Clock and was driven
to the Jail and placed in the woman's cell
where he will remain. tonight.
Jones alghted from the train carrying
gripsack in which was a Bible. He said
that he is as innocent of the charge pre-
ferred against him as newborn babe.
but has grave doubts about being able to
prove his innocence. He still asserts that
his father committed the crime.
Solicitor Mason said that Jones will DO
arraigned before Police Court Judge Geo.
S. Frost, tomorrow morning. He does
not expect that the preliminary hearing
will go on at that time. but will probably
be continued until some future date to
give Jones opportunity to secure counsel.
Now that Jones is under arrest. there
is much talk about the circumstances at
tending the death of DR.. Jenkins of SOM
erSWorth. who was thought to have COM
mitted suicide. During the doctors ILL
ness Jones attended him. and received by
deed certain property from DIR. Jenkins.
