took Potatoes Arrives in Boston.

Boston. March S.-(SpeciaD. Twenty
thousand bushels of Aroostook potatoes
have arrived in this city. in single ship
ment. From here they will be distributed,
in small lots, to points to the south and
westward, few, If any of them, being re-

This is the largest single lot of Aroos-
took potatoes ever received in Boston at
one time, and the vegetables filled 81 spe-
cially fitted cars to the limit. The cars
were made up into a special train and
came direct from northern Maine. Each
one of the cars was equipped with all the
modern DEVICES for protecting the vege-
tables against chills. ETC.. and although
they had been on the road several days
before reaching here, every tuber was in
perfect condition upon arrival as when 1t
started on its long journey from some
way station far up on the Bangor 4
Aroostook Railroad.
A part of the lot will be shipped by boat
to the Southern coast cities: others will
be transferred across the city to the ter
minals of the Western and Southern rail-
roads, from which place they will be dis
lributed to buyers in various parts of the
country.

Takes lust Seven Rounds -Eddis Joyce 6isen
Decision over Kid lavisne.

Portland, Me-, March Sat boxing
exhibition here. tonight. at the Audi
forum, Morris Rosenberg of Boston,
knocked out Patsey Hennessey Of
Lawrence, in the 7th round There
were 600 people present.
The first bout was between Walter
Lang of Boston, and Dick Bradley Of
Providence. 1t was very warm con-
test, last five rounds, at the end of
which time the referee decided the
affair a drew.
The second event was between Eddie
Joyce of Portland. and Kid Lavigne of
Boston, I.avigne had the best of the
argument from the start. In the third
round he punished Joyce severely but
persisted in fouling on the breakaway
and the referee gave the decision to
Joyce on this account. at the end Of the
third round. Lavigne offered to bet
$500 that he could finish Joyce in six
rounds but the referee refused to al
low the fight to go on.
The star event of the evening was
the Rosenberg Hennessey bout. 1t was
very fierce for the first six rounds with
Hennessey giving Rosenberg good
deal of punishment. Rosenberg took the
terrible uppercuts of his opponent
without signs of weakening and in the
seventh round followed sHennessey
about the ring, delivering blow after
blow on his neck and wind. At the
close of the seventh Hennessey was
staggering all over the ring and was
forced against the ropes half the time,
where Rosenberg proceeded to .infiict
terrible punishment on him: AS the
gong sounded at the end of the seventh,
Hennessey had just strength enough
left to stagger to his corner. This de-
cisiOn was given to Rosenberg. DR.. d.
j. Saunders of Boston, acted ais referee.

FIRE At CLINTON.
Mrs. Aliens Farm Buildings, with Barn. Con
d. tents Burned-loss. over $500.

Clinton, Me-, March S.-(SpeciaD. The
farm buildings situated about two miles
from sthe.village and owned by Mrs. AL
len, were destroyed, last night, with their
contents, by fire. The fire was discovered
shortly after 7.30 and at that time the fire
was wholly in the stable.
AS sooa. as the fire was discovered an
attempt was made to get out the live
stock and carriages, but the fire had
gained such Roadway that it was found
to be impossible to save anything. See
ing that nothing could be done with the
stable and that there would be but slight
possibility of saving the house. attention
was turned to the furniture and other
household articles.
The people were even driven back in
their work there by the fierceness of the
fire and only few of the articles were
saved, Nearly everything in the stable
was a total loss Besides the hay and
other things in the stable, two horses and
a cow persisted.
! The loss is estimated at between $500
and $780, How the fire originated Is
mystery.

FULL OF ARSENIC.
Prot. Robinson Reports on Geo.
W. Pierce's Whiskey.
Hearing on Charge Of Attempted MUIR
der to Be Held, Friday.
Oniy Sufficient Evidence 10 Hold Tor Grand
Jury Will Be Introduced.

Lewiston. Me-, March S-(SpeciaD.-
An anolvsis of a bottle of whiskey re-
ceived here, today. from Prof. f. Z.
Robinson of Bowdoin college. shows
the whiskey to have been heavily
charged with arsenic, as was sus-
pected.
The bottle was a twin bottle to the
one sent recently to eX-City Marshal
Teel of this city, with intent, as alleged,
to murder him by poison. And the
second bottle was found nicely boxed
and sealed in the Cedar street house
owned by George w. Pierce of this
city, now in the county Jail awaiting
trial on two charges of attempted muir
der by poisoning and seven of criminal
libel.
The finding of this whiskey is con-
sidered by the prosecution as impor-
tant evidence against Pierce, whose
preliminary hearing will begin, FRI
day morning, in the Auburn municipal
court, the Lewiston court not having
jurisdiction on account of it's judge be-
ing one of the parties directly con-
cerned in the case. Pierces counsel
has waived examination on the
charges of libel. and the hearing will
be on the charges of attempted muir
der.
This case, like the trial Of Molineaux
in New York, will hinge somewhat up
on expert testimony on handwriting
and like that case, the most famous ex-
perts in the country on handwriting
will be summoned. Two of the experts
in the MOlineaux case will appear in
the Pierce case.
County Attorney Mccain informs
the Journal that at the preliminary ex-
animation only sufficient evidence to
hold Pierce for the grand jury, which
will assemble the third Tuesday in
April, will be introduced.
