REFUSED TO TESTIFY.
Young Guiiiemet Refused to Go On Stand
But Was Held For UncIe's Murder.

Montreal, November 23.-The inquest
in the La Plante murder case was re-
onened at St. Liboire this morning, and
Guillemet, the self-confessed murderer,
was placed on the stand.
He refused to testify, however, and
Tetrault, whom Guillemet has implicated,
was called. The inquest is proceeding
quietly. After hearing further testi-
mony the coroner's jury declared j. B.
Guille1net guilty of numbering his uncle
Tetrault was liberated.
A St. Liboire despatch to the Montreal
Star concerning the arrival OF Guile
met, says:
On Saturday night train No. E, from
ST, Hyaointhe to St. Liboire, had rs pas
sengers many of those concerned In the
case. Detective Lambert had in charge
Young Guillemet, and they were accom-
named also by Grand Constable Marche-
sauIt and Chief of Police Chenette. APP
narently they did not care to have any
one know of their arrival with the
ynung murderer. They Immediately pro-
decided to thu La Plante house, where
Guillemet and his aunt, Mrs La Plante,
we're placed face to face. Here Guillelnet
| declared that his confession duplicating
| his aunt was false, and she had nothing
whatever to do with the crime They
| afterwards proceeded to Louis Tetreault' S
home.
Young Guillemet now accuses Te-
trault OF the killing of La Plante and
saws that the money found on him at
biddeford was given him by Tetrault.
| On arriving at Tetrault's house, Guille1net
who had his hands manacled, was al
lowed to go in alone, and on entering said
| TO Tetrault: Break these handouts
for me, set me free and hide me some
where; have escaped from the police
The officers thought that Tetrault's sus-
piciens would not be aroused, If he real
iy was Guillemet's aocomplice and would
try to set him free. But Tetrault is too
smart to be caught in this trap and evi
IDENTITY is innocent of the crime that he
is aocased of, for his reply was: ''Get
| out of here. you rascal or / IL kick YOU
OUT The officers then entered and af-
ter few questions, Tetrault was also
made a prisoner, and with his hands
chained, the party returned to St. Hya-
cinthe.
Seen by Star correspondent at the
station, Tetrault was crying bitterly, say
ing, SO help me, God, am innocent OF
| this"
Officer Ducharme, to whose credit Gull
lemet's arrest is due, in conversation
with your correspondent, said: II be-
lieve you have the murderer now, and
that there was only one connected with
this crime. l cannot say more on this
subject until the PROPER time comes"
Young GuilleTet now gives another
story, entirely different to his previous
versions. He claims that he had nothing
to do with the killing of j. B. La Plante
or the theft connected with the murder,
but only accepted the money from Te-
trault SO as to keep silent over the matter.

OtisfieId Congregational Church Uele-
brates Its Centennial.

Years Ago-How Customs Have
Changed.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Otisfield, November 25.-The Otisfleld
Congregational church observed its CEN
tennlal today 1t is one of the Oldest
churches In the country and has been one
OF the most influential. Today the old
fashioned choir gallery, large square
windows and high spacious pulpit were
decorated with evergreens and flowers
with 1797-1S97 in siIYered letters behind
the PASTORS seat.
Inc audience were called to order In the
church at eleven in the forenoon by the
pastor, Rev. Daniel E. Coburn, VINO,
After singing by the church choir ana
prayer by Rev. H. Fl. Hathaway of this
town, delivered an appropriate address OF
welcome.
Rev. A. G. Fitz OF Bridgton and Harri-
son made the response, speaking among
other topics of this church set upon q
high hill, its pure white spire visible for
many miles in every direction, lnyltlng
a wide expanse of country to come ana
worship God amid unriyaled scenery IN o
situation so pleasant that 1t seems as II
no one who ever lived there could pc con-
tented anywhere else.
Miss Estelle Knight then presented a
paper on the early history OF this noted
church, stating in part: when the sub,
iect of a church here was first considered
the proprietors, wealthy Boston men,,
offered to build suitable edi1lce and
finish the outside, if the toWnspeople
would finish and furnish the inside.
This was done. The church was dedicated
one hundred years ago in the presence. of
a great concourse of people. AS an in
stance of the different customs of those
times, among the refreshments served at
noon were q half barrel each of whiskey
and rum md ten pounds of loaf sugar.
| There was lively dedication ball in the
| evening. Those clergymen present who
| did not care to attend this ball gathered
| in the parlor of neighboring deacon and
passed the evening pleasantly with q
ouiet game of cards and an occasional
| glass of spiced rum. The first pastor,
| Rev Thomas Robbie, was SO addicted to
the use of intoxicanta that he sometimes
| found it difficult to ascend the pulpit
steps without steadying his swaying body
with his hands. After pastorate OF
| thirteen years he was suspended by a
| counoiI Of churches. After this the church
under worthy pastors increased in mem
hership and usefulness until it became q
great power for good over wide terri.
tory. 1t has sent out more men who have
become famous in the learned professions
than any other within a circuit OF
seventy five miles. In 1886 the church
was partly demolished by hurricane an6
replaced by the present building.
AT noon there was picnic dinner as
near as possible in the manner Of cen
tury ago when the congregation
brought their dinners every Sunday
keeping them before the fire during tht
| forenoon service.
The afternoon was devoted to short
reminiscent speeches by former pastors
and aged members of the church.

HAVANA. Aug. IL. via Key West, Aug. a.
Gen. Calixto Garcia has won q great victory
over the Spanish troops at the town OF Santa
Rosalia. near Gibara, in Santiago de Cuba prov.
ince. The town was surprised by the insurgent
troops while q big ball was in progress, al
which nearly oil the Spanish officers were In
attendance.
In tho height of the festivities tho ballroom
was fercely attacked on all sides by the insur-
gents. and the Spanish officers had no time to
prepare any plan OF defence. The few other
officers who were In charge OF the garrison and
at the outposts had already surrendered to the
assailants. A few soldiers. running from the
barracks, arrived at the ballroom some minutes
before the Cubnns and gave the alarm. The
officers rushed TO the doors to escape. but IL was
too late. The Cubans appeared with their ma
chetcs in hand and compelled the officers TO
huddle again In tho ballroom.
Some of the women tainted and tho others
shricked and sobbcd. A desperate fight began,
in which the Cubans killed one Captain and two
Lieutenants and thirty Spanish soldiers who
had gathered around the officers to protect
them. In the struggle q bullet struck q woman,

DISCRIMINATING DUTIES.

Retaiiatory Measures Taken.


MONTREAL, Aug. l2.-Anxiety with regard TO
the decision of Judge McKenna on the proposed
discriminating duties on the shipment OF goods
through Canadian ports to the United States
knocked two points of Canadian Pacific stock
to day. The harm which will naturally befalI
the Canadian Pacific In the event of this regula-
tion being enforced is fully appreciated on the
Street. though 1t Is hard to believe that 1t will
really be put into effect. The Canadian Pacific
men say that even II the law Is never enforced

to be II menace.
Mr.. G. n. Bosworth. freight traffic manager
OF the Canadian Railway, said to-day that The
road would be quite satisfied to conhne its oper-
atoms to It's Canadian business. provided the
Dominion took rctaliatory measures in kind
with the United States and reserved the Cana.
dian business exclusively for the Canadian
roads.
Mr.. George r. Reeve, general traffic manager
of the Grand Trunk Railroad system, Thought
that retaliatOry Legislation on the part of Can.
ada would scarcely help the matter. The Grand
Trunk would get It's share of what benefits
might accrue from the restriction of the carry
ing trade on Canadian soil to Canadian roads.
