TALKING TO FARMERS.
Mr.. Mclaughlin Speaks to Portland
Agriculturists at Mystic Hall.

MIR. w. 81. Mclaughlin of scarboro.
addressed q small audience at Mystic
hall yesterday afternoon on "Three
weeks walk in the streets Of Boston,
together with some observations on the
last legislature and the Dingley tariff. -
Mr.. Mclaughlin said it had been lis
custom for some years to visit the Hub
humanity there. He found on his late
visit that Boston was sunk in debt and
corruption with debt of fifty millions
of dollars staring the tax payers in the
face. MIR. MoLauglh in claimed this con-
dition was due in great measure to Eng
lish Shy locks, who never knew what Is
was to work, but sit in their offices OUT
ting of coupons. He claimed TIE great
department stores paid their help SO lit
tie that extra floor walkers had to be
employed to keep the girls from stealing
goods.
Mr. Mclaughlin thought the boosted
high license system was not without
fault. He said the Dingley tariff bill
was full of enormous iniquities. He
thought the time had come for the farm
ers to take hand in politics, mot those
that farm with their mouths like those
at our college of agricultural science at
Orono, but practical farmers, who
should come together and organize,
maintain an independent front.
when they will secure their rights.
What said he, the farmers want, in this
country, is a taste of power. The speak
er also went for the Legislators on &C.
count of the Engel bill. A meeting
will De held next Sunday when relig-
iouS topic will he di cussed.

A TERRIBLE FIGHT.
Ellen O'Brien and Mag Coffin Raise
Pandemonium on Washippton e.


Yesterday morning about half mar,
nine O'Clock telephone message wa,
sent to the police station for the patro
wagon and information given that i,
looked as If murder had been com.
mitted ct the last house on the left hand
side of Washington street going towards
Tukeys bridge. The house Is small
two story affair, the upper tenement, of
three rooms, occupied by two sisters,
Ellen O'Brien and Margaret Coffin, and
the lower tenement by two women. of adj
vanoed age.
1t seems that, according to the best in
formation that could be obtained by the
police, the O'Brisn and Coffin sisters
got to drinking Saturday afternoon. AS
the rum began to get in it's work the
sisters quarrelled, AS they had frequently
done before. But this time the affray
proved to be regular battle.s When the
hghtlng began no one could tell, but 1t
WAS evident that it had been going on
long time. The O'Brien woman evil
IDENTIFY in drunken state managed to
get out of the houss into the yard where
she was seen when the police office was
notified, and was lying there in stupi-
lied condition when Inspector Pickett
ana Officers Riley and Thrasher arrived.
In the quarters occupied by the sisters,
Meg, Coffin was found dead drunk. The
rooms consisted of sitting room in
front, bed room and kitchen in the
rear, and they looked as If they were used
as slaughter house. Furniture was
tossed In every direction, crockery was
lying about badly smashed, showing that
the articles had been used as missiles,
pieces OF lamps were scattered here and
there. and glass and blood covered the
floors. In one place, near the window.
where tile O'BrIen woman had evidently
sunk into chair, was great pool of
blood that had gushed from her wounds.
The officers put the women into the
patrol wagon and carried them to the
station. They were a sight to behold.
The Coffin woman evidently had had the
best of it, for she showed nc. wounds
She revived enough to give the officers
a tongue lashing. The o. Brien woman
was in a state of collapse The city ply
stefan was not at home, and DR.. Pitcher
took the case. He found three great
wounds on the O'Brien woman head,
another under her eye, and her muse
was knocked out of shape. He saved up
the wounds, got her heart and pulse to
acting fairly well and then sent her to
Greedy hospital to await the result of her
injuries. He thought, If no serious
symptoms set in she would get out of the
scrape this time. Her clothing was
thickly encrusted-as was that of the
Coffin woman-with dust and dirt. The
two had evidently rolled over aud over
in water and dust, for the garments
were very wet. The Coffin woman was
locked up and went off into drunken
sleep. Neither she nor the O'Brien wo-
man would tell what caused the trouble.
Both these women are old offenders.
For twenty-five or thirty years they have
been familiar with the court, each Of
them having been brought up for intoxi-
cation and disturbance eight times since
August, 1895.
