Here is complaint from Augusta. The
kennebec Journal says:
The country roads are in awful con-
dition for travelling. The stages running
between Augusta and neighboring towns
are all delayed by the mud. The Washing
ton stage, due in Augusta at & O clock,
did not arrive until nearly 10 o'clock
Bob Moore, who has been driving here
abouts for years, says the mud is the
worst he has ever known it.

In Ellsworth a new plan for caring for
the roads has been adopted this year.
Mayor Davis has volunteered to act as
road commissioner without pay, except
in cases where he is taken away from his
business for the best part of day. He
proposes to divide the roads of the city
into four or five districts, possibly by
wards. In each of these districts he will
have foreman, who will be suggested by
the alderman from each district and whose
duty it will be to take charge of the work
in his district, with the understanding
that he will as tar as possible give to tax
payers who wish to do 50 an opportunity
to work out their taxes. The money ap-
propriated for roads will be apportioned
to the various districts in proportion to
the tax paid by each district. The fore
man will be required to make monthly re-
ports to the board of aldermen of work
done and money expended in their sever
al districts. Mayor Davis as road CON-
missioner will exercise general supervis-
ion over the roads and the foremen The
results of this new departure will be look
ed for with interest; and we hope the
Ellsworth American will fully report
them for the benefit of other commune
ties.

One of the first things which arrests
the attention of the stranger visiting
city for the first time is the condition of
its streets. Mayor Mobiles inaugural.
And ninety nine strangers out of hun
dred would so express themselves as to
cause most any citizens to blush for
shame. The streets are in terrible con-
dition. Mayor Noble states that he is
satisfied with the management, and the
streets were never taken better care of
than for the past year. But His Honor
further adds a clause which destroys the
compliments. He stated: ''Considering
the system, which has been in vogue
since the corporation of our city no fault
can be found with services rendered. If
it is the system that causes bad streets,
defective sidewalks, then give us a new
system. Lewiston Sun.
The Maine Statesman published in Lew
iston has commented in similar vein on
the condition of the streets in that city,
and mentions the following incident, which
is substantially duplicated many times in
many places:
ACollege street resident, who, although
approaching old age, is decidedly on
earth, deliberately states that he could do
single handed the work of II men in the
street department. He bases this claim
upon observation. A few days ago he
says he saw II men put in half day dig
ging little trench in the snow on College
street for distance of 265 feet. He OBJ
served one man in the crew who didn't
move his shovel for 35 minutes.

BALTlMoREs TAKE sEcoNp GAME
The Temple Cup Series Now Stands On
and One.

Boston, October 5.-The second pana
in the Temple cup series was like the first
distinguished by terrific batting by both
sides, but today Baltimore came out
ahead through their ability to get in the
hits when they were most needed
while Corbett, through his hardwork,
held the home team down at critical
times. The game was much more inter-
esting and exciting than that of yester-
day and the home team was very much
In it up to the last inning when they
fell down woefully, where on safe hit
would have tied the score. The shining
star of the two champion aggregations
was Herman Long. His stops were today
fairly electrifying and it is safe to say
that such work has ever been dupli-
Gated. Hamilton came out with clean
score, his base running being of the finest
description.
The Baltimores began on Klobedanz in
the first inning and kept 1t right up to
the fifth when two bases on balls and hit,
were followed by a home run by Reitz,
which brought in four runs. Then Kloby
came out and Stivetts went in, but the
chan ge did not seem to mend matters.
Corbett, while wild at times, proved a
stumbling block for the home team,
until the fourth, when six runs came
over the plate, five of them being earned.
Corbett, however, pulled himself togeth-
er, and barring the seventh, held the
home team down in good shape. The

LUETGERT DIDN'T TESTIFY.
Respondent in Famous Murder Trial Did
Not Go on Stand.

Chicago, October 5.-The end of the
Luetgert murder trial is nearer than was
thought. The defense today rested its
case and there is nothing to come but
the rebuttal evidence of the state and the
arguments Of the attorneys. Probably
about two weeks in all. Luetgert and
his counsel held a conference today and it
was decided not to put the respondent on
the stand, though the latter insisted that
he should tell his story.
AS the evidence in the trial is now prac-
ticalIy all in an estimate of the relative
strength of the prosecution and the de-
tense respectively is the sole topic Of dis
cussion. 1--WE have made out as strong o
circumstantial case as it was possible to
present." said State Attorney Deneen to-
night
Ex-Judge Vincent was apparently high
ly pleased over the status of the case. "We
have met them at every point and checked
them," he said. ''They have failed to
show beyond reasonable doubt that Mrs.
Luetgert is dead. In my Judgement q
case has not been established under the
Indictment
Luetgert is confident that he will be
acquitted.

Miss Lothrop.s Story


Lisbon, n H., October 5.-There was
preliminary hearing today in the case
of Ida Lathrop, who was employed in the
tailor shop of Karil Drummer, and who
was found bound and unconscious in the
coal bin in the basement of the store.
The affair occurred last spring but the
hearing has been delayed until the girl
should recover sufficiently to tell her
story. She says Drummer began pay
ing attention to her when she went to
work for him and finally yielded to him
under promise Of marriage. Later she
found herself in delicate situation and
Drummer procured some medicine which
was effective. Afterwards she found
that he was paying attention to another
girl and demonstrated with him. He
threatened her and finally assaulted her,
which is the last she remembers. Miss
Lathrop was on the stand today and told
her story well, making good appear

in United States Court.

Boston, October 5.-The United States
circuit Court of Appeals today heard
arguments in the case of the Travellers
Insurance company, defendant, plaintiff
IN error, vs. the Wild River Lumber com.
pany, plaintiff, defendant in error.
The commercial travellers while riding
on one of the lumber company's locomo-
tives in Maine in November, 1894, were
injured in consequence of the locomotives
being derailed. They asked the oomnanv
for compensation for their injuries and q
settlement was made, one receiving 50 3OO
and the other So, 400.

company Of the accident and demanded
p 'yment on its policy. This the insur-
ancs company refused to do on the ground

covered by the policy.
In the United States Circuit for the

received %, 504 and costs. The insurance
company appealed, alleging serious errors
as matter of law In the findings of the

Rockland, October 5.-The coroner 8
inquest over the remains of Charles W.

the verdict rendered was that Charles W.
Bowen was killed on the premises of
Lucinda c. Foss between the hours of
four p. m. Saturday and two and six a.
m. Sunday, October 8, with some blunt
instrument in the hands Of some person
or persons unknown to the jury.
Several startling pieces of testimony
were brought at the inquest. A neighbor
testified to hearing two shrieks at mid
night, the sound being in the direction
of the house of Mrs. Foss. Five witnesses
testified to seeing and talking with the
deceased on Main street Saturday after
noon and that he was not intoxicated at
the time. This is in direct opposition to
the evidence of Mrs. Foss, Dickey, Lizzie
Green and Curtis. Other witnesses gave
evidence to show that Bowen had money
at the time of his death. but none was
found on his person.
Drs Judkins and Woodside who per-
formed the autopsy testified that the vari-
GUS organs were in good condition, that
no traces of an amount of liquor was
found in the stomach and that in their
opinion the deceased was not intoxicated
when he was killed. 1t was also brought
out that Bowen and Curtis had some
words Saturday, and but for the inter-
vention of the Green girl blows might

make lunge at Curtis without reaching
him.
The matter is now in the hands of the
county attorney and arres is are expected
