towards Atlantic street. The Portland
Street railway company also turned out
a large crew OF men and all tho avail
able teams IL had at its disposal. The
Yarmouth road has done its share in re-
moving the snow.
The first storm 10 always hard o ne
to handle because the vehicles must all
be changed over from wheels to runners
which OF ,ourse requires considerable
time. Fortunately this storm was not
a very bad one. The snow was light and
10 did not drift very badly. II was some
heavier ON the hill than in the csntrs Of
the city. 1t was not necessary to break
out . single street In the Deering dis
triot.
Me Fernald said that the work would

DEATH OF RICHARD HoVEY.
The We'll Known Writer pnd Conn
poser Passes Away In New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Richari Hovey.
the poet, Suddenly yesterday after
noon of apoplexy, in the post graduate
hospital. where ne had been patient for
three weeks suffering from cancer of the
intestines.
Mr.. Hovey was best known for his Songs
of Vagabonda,' written in collaboration
with Bliss Carmen and as the translator of
the plays of Maurice Maeterlinck. He was
born at Normal Ills, May 4. 1864 and was
the son of the late Gen. Charles T. Hovey.
He was a Dartmouth College man of the
class of 'S5. Mr. Hovey studied for Il
year in the general theological seminary
here after leaving Dartmouth and was a
lay assistant in that time 10 Father Brown
at the church of st. Mary the Virgin, in
this city. He gave up all idea of enter
ing the pulpit after year in the semi
nary and turned his attention to literary
work, becoming we'll known as a iourn-
alist actor. and dramatist.
He wrote verses for different periodicals
and won a great deal of praise for his
work His translations of Maeteriinck
were the only ones published in this coun-
try. Some OF his own dramatic works
were 'Iauncelot and Guinevere" The
Birth of Galahad.'' and "Taliesin.''
Two years go Mr.. Hovey applied for the
post of instructor in English in the Wash
ington High School. His application was
rejected because of some of his work in
Songs of Vagabondia." which was re-
garled as being too much in defiance of
prosody and grammar. In 1898, however,
Mr.. Hovey was appointed lecturer in
Columbia University and he was also pro-
fessor of English in Barnard College.

ACQUITTED OF MURDER.
The Sensational Close of the Trial of
Arthur Sargent.

BANGOR. Me-, Feb. 25.-The trial Of
Arthur Sargent, charged with killing VIII
liam Goliath and Harry Quimby at Stetson
Pond last August, came TO an unexpected
close here yesterday, when. after q motion
for the discharge of the prisoner, made by
the attorney general, the judge ordered a
verdict of not guilty. The jury obeyed the
courts instructions and Sargent was ac-
quilted.
The trial of Sargent had been in prog
ress since last Tuesday. The Government
rested its case on Thursday. after having
presented mass of circumstantial evil
dence. The defence made strong case for
the prisoner Friday. and yesterday called
Sargent himself to the stand.
The accused man told straightforward
story Of the fishing trip, in which Goliath,
Quimby, and the defendant Joined. and
which ended in an accident, their boat be-
ing capsized and Goliath and Quimby be-
ing drowned.
When Sargent sat down the attorney
general addressed the court, saying that
he did not think the Government had pro-
duced testimony of the character required
to convict the prisoner Of the crime ac-
cused beyond a reasonable doubt.
Applause followed the announcement on
| the part of Attorney General Haines.
| Judge Powers informed the attorney gen.
eral that his course met with the full ap
| proyal OF the court. Sargent manifested
| very little emotion at the outcome OF the
| case
