The papers of the State are printing
another of Judge l.. A. Emery's stories,
told by him while at Skowhegan, presid-
ing at the term of court just closed.
Years ago, while young lawyer, he was
trying a case in Ellsworth, and WAS cross
examining a witness who was exercising
all his Yankee shrewdness in making
evasive answers. The questions were for
the purpose Of determining the direction
n certain party had taken in leaving the
town, for this was point that had an
important bearing upon the case. Law
yer Emery was determined to make the
man state definitely what he knew about
it. He addressed the witne g sharply, tell
ing him to state definitely where the man
went. Quick as a flash the witness re-
Piled: II guess he went to i, for he
started in the direction of Ellswort h :"
The reply was too much for the jurymen,
VINO forgot he dignity of the court and
laughed heartily.

Colonel Hamlin in "a Box.

1t is very rarely that Senator Hannibal
f. Hamlin, of Ellsworth, with his rare
legal acumen, ever gets i'll a box, meta
phorically speaking. But he got in one
the other evening at the Augusta house,
aud it wasn't metaphoricai either. 1t
WAS a telephone box. He stepped INTO
one of those long distance structures to
communicate with friend over ne wire,
and when he started to come out, the
inside knob refused to turn.
A group of politicians sitting near the
box heard spirits rapplng behind them,
and turning around beheld Mr. Hamlin
through the glass doing war dance and
wildly gesticuating for the assistance of
fellow countrymen. After considerable
maneuvefing on the part of friends he
door was opened 9and Mr.. HamHn came
out much perturoed in spirit over MS alb
urevlated apartments.
Hereafter all persons who enter the tel
ephone den at the Augusta house Viii
kindly leave addresses of their nearest
relatives with the proprietor of the hotel.

Dread Disease Discovered In Soldlers'
Home.
Newport News, Va, July 31.-There
are thirty cases of yellow fever in the
grounds of the United States soldiers
home at Hampton, only seven miles
from Newport News. There were three
deaths in the home Sunday afternoon,
and 1t is reported that there were seven
deaths from the disease Saturday be-
fore the order quarantining the insti-
tuition was issued. There is no doubt
about the nature of the fever, as 1t was
given out officially that the disease
was yellow fever. The statement Is
also made authoritatively that three
deaths occurred from the fever Sunday.
This entire section of the state has
been thrown into a state of excitement
surprising anything ever known here.
The disease, it is stated, has been in
the home for three days, but the public
was not acquainted with 1t until Sun
day evening. The physicians, national
and state quarantine officers who con-
suited, did not decide positively until
Saturday that it was really yellow fe-
yer. They expressed their suspicious
when the cases were first brought to
their attention, but it was decided to
make no announcement until they
were positive.

NEXT WAR WITH GERMANY.
Alleged Remarks of Admiral Dewey q
Trieste.

Alleged Remarks of Admiral Dewey at
Trieste.
New York, July 31.-A dispatch to
The Herald from Trieste says: Your
correspondent had conversation with
Admiral Dewey on board the Olympia.
In reply to my remark that Germany
had intended to Interfere at Manila
he said:
Eyes. Prince Henry of Prussia is a
man of the type of his brother, the
German emperor"
"And Admiral Won Diedrichs?" he
was asked.
HE was relieved from his Manila
post in accordance with an arrange
ment of long standing, and because
his time was up, not as a concession
made in friendliness to the American
government. Germany's policy is to
prevent other powers from obtaining
what she cannot acquire herself"
After we had spoken of Samoa as
evidence of her policy the admiral said:
1--WE need large and thoroughly
equipped navy that can cope with any
other power. England is our natural
ally, and differences such as those
about the Venezuelan boundary and
the fisheries do not interfere with a
friendly understanding existing be-
tween the two nations. Our next war
will be with Germany"

GEORGE b. SWIFT IN A FIGHT.
Ex-Mayor of Chicago Pulls or His Coat
and Sails In.


Ex-Mayor of Chicago Pulls or His Coat
and Sails In.
Hannibal, Mo-, July 31.--Former
Mayor George B. Swift of Chicago and
his son Charles had lively set-ta here
with party of railway trackmen.
The ex-mayor was hit in the back with
a brick, but used his fists effectively,
as did also Charles Swift. Other work.
men stopped the combat. Honors were
about even and no one was much hurt.
Mr.. Swift's firm has the contract for
building the new Burlington railway
roundhouse and storehouse here.
Charles Swift is in charge of the work.
The ex-mayor arrived here with Mrs.
Swift and went with his son to inspect
the progress of the work. A party OF
railway laborers was moving pile of
friedrich, to be used on Swift's con-
tract, in order to make room for
switch track.
Mr.. Swift asked the men not to
handle the brick so roughly. A big
Irishman said they were not working
for him and it was none of his bust
ness. After some further words Mr..
Swift pulled off his coat and started
to chastise the Irishman. A fellow
workmen threw brick and struck Mr..
Swift in the back. He was promptly
knocked down by Charles Swift and
the ARRAY became general. Four or
five men attacked the two Swifts, but
they were holding their own pretty
we'll when other workmen interviewed
and stopped the fight No arrests have
heen made

MORE LAWLESSNESS.
Another Street Car Blown Up at
Cleveland.
WILL STOP REMOVAL OF TROOPS.

Soldiers Will Now BE Retained for an In
ming on Every Line of the Big Consol-
idated system-Former New York Mo-
torman Arraigned on the Charge OF
Having Dynamite in His Possession.
Cleveland, O., July 31.--The blowing
mp of Euclid Beach suburban car dur
ing the night has demonstrated the
TACT that the danger point has not yet
been passed in connection with the
street car strike in this city. AS a re-
suit of this fresh outbreak of lawless-
ness the plan to release the military
force early in the week will probably
be abandoned and the soldiers re-
tanned for an indefinite period Con-
frary to previous reports it is learned
that eight passengers were aboard the
car wrecked and that they, with the
crew, escaped injury, beyond a few
slight bruises. is considered almost
miraculous. The explosive used was
unusually powerful, the two rear
wheels of the big car being broken and
the axle and other iron work badly
bent and twisted.
Car Lifted Two Feet.
One Of the track rails was also shat
tered The heavy suburban line car
was lifted fully two feet from the track
by the explosion. The flooring was
blown upwards and over the top of the
seats. The authorities as yet have
been unable to gain the slightest clew
NJ to the identity of the perpetrators
of the outrage. Cars were operated on
several of the more important lines of
the Big Consolidated company through
nut the night and now cars are moving
ON every line in the system. Governor
Bushnell has notified Adjutant General
Axline, commanding the state troops
here, that he entirely approves of his
action in not allowing soldiers of the
Ohio national guard to perform spe-
Eial police duty. In an interview con-
cerning the matter Adjutant General
Axline is quoted as saying:
Has Done just Right.
Il believe / have taken the right
stand, for 1 have been congratulated
by many prominent business men of
the city. They say have done just
right. When martial law is proclaimed
then it is time for the soldiers to per-
form police duty. / have given in
structions that the soldiers shall not
ride on the cars of the company for the
purpose Of protecting them. That is
the duty of the police. If the police
call upon an officer of a company to
furnish soldiers to accompany a car
to the scene of a trouble with which
he is unable to cope, then a detach-
ment of soldiers will be placed on the
car. If any arrests are made the po-
lcemen must make them. The SOL
diers will stand by ready to assist or
protect the policeman in performing
his duty. No soldiers will perform
duty on cars unless there is at least
one patrolman on the car"

SITUATION AT CLEVELAND.
The Boycott Movement Has Reached an
Acute State.

Acute State.
Cleveland, O., July 31.-Beyond an
outbreak in the Polish settlement,
which was promptly suppressed by the
militia, the night passed without seri-
Gus trouble. Many cars were stoned
in the suburbs, but so far as learned
no one was injured. A mob which
formed on Fleet street in the south end
of the city was dispersed by the mill
tia with fixed bayonets and a number
of the ringleaders arrested.
Several Cleveland military compan-
les will probably be relieved from duty
by Adjutant General Axline. The
troops which have been brought here
from other cities will be retained until
all ranger of rioting is past. Even then
the outside companies will be with
drawn gradually.
The boycott movement has reached a
point where 1t is almost impossible for
any one who rides on the Big Consol-
idated cars to purchase the necessaries
of life. This is especially true in the
outlying districts of the city. do you
ride on the Big Consolidated cars?" is
the almost universal question put to a
would be purchaser by the merchants.
If the answer is in the affirmative the
customer is politely informed that he
or she cannot be served.

chicago Brick Manufacturers Ignore Con-
tractors Invitation.
Chicago, July 31.-Hope for a speedy
settlement of the brickmakers' strike
was abandoned when the manufacture
ers ignored the invitation of the con-
tractors to attend a conference over
the troubles and remained away with
the statement that they had nothing
TO arbitrate." Consequently the con-
ference, participated in by committees
representing the Masons and Builders
association, the Building Trades coun-
ell and the Brickmakers' alliance, was
futile
Rumors were current, however, that
the contractors had resolved to counte-
nance the strike and to lend their aid
In bringing the manufacturers to
terms. The three committees were in
session for more than an hour. After
the adjournment it was stated that
nothing had been DONE Representa-
dives OF each of the conferrees refused
TO confirm or deny the report that an
offensive alliance had been formed be-
tween the strikers and contractors.
