motion. In my opinion l felt a consci-
entious discharge of the duties devolv-
ing upon me to demand that l should
make that motion, because I consider
that it would be simply a travesty or
justice to bring this particular trial be-
fore this particular Court and this par
ticular panel of jury; not that this re-
fiection extends to all the members of
that panel. because there are twenty
four names upon that panel, to my rec
objection: my remarks do not and cannot
possibly extend to but a least twelve of
that panel
Now I ask that the case be postponed,
in order that the case at bar be tried out
of another panel, the Court has in its
wisdom denied my motion. That leaves
but one other resource and I now want
to move this Court that a nolle pros. be
entered as TO the defendant at bar. 1t
is, however, proper that L should give to
the Court my reasons for making this
motion, which takes this case out of con-
sideration, and so far as the defendant
is concerned leaves him fully as free as
he was on the day before he was arrest
ed. Tt is incumbent upon me that L
should explain thus publicly and before
the Court my reasons for making this
motion.
This is the first term that a court has
been held under the auspices of the
United States of America in the Terri
tory of Hawaii. We came before the
Grand Jury with evidence, which to it
was amply sufficient to justify it in find
ing an indictment and pleading to those
charges; the pleadings by the Grand
Jury were sufficient to justify the de-
PENDANTS in pleading not guilty; they
were put on trial; they were submitted
to jury and the exemplification of yes

cutting officer of the United States, 1t
seems, for the present at least, that 1t
is absolutely worse than useless to at

where the United States is prosecutor.
I will say, If the Court will permit, I
think I have a right to say it, there Is
nobody's liberties involved; there Is no

biased somewhat in this matter; I may
not perhaps speak with that degree of
calmness that would ordinarily cause
men to talk under the circumstances,
but then L say, if the Court please, and
] say honestly and conscientiously. that
in the face of proceedings such as these
it is worse than travesty OF justice to
bring men to pass upon crimes such as
this when conviction cannot be had
the crime absolutely uncontradicted.
Therefore, 1 feel and say in order to
save the United States Government such
scenes as we have had il is my solemn
duty to move this Court to enter a nolle
pros, to discharge this defendant and
set him at his liberty And, further
more, I move that the present panel be
discharged.
The Court: Any other case to be
tried?
Mr.. Baird: No, sir.

posed Of
Mr. Baird: I don't think that this gen.

HE general demand for the steno-

by United States District Attor-
ney Baird which resulted in the
discharge of the full venire of jurors
of the Federal Court, leads us to give,
herewith, the notes of the official re-
porter. They are in the form which the
District Attorney left them after re-
vision. What portions are omitted or
appear now in modified form, the Ad-
vertiser is unable to say:
The Court: Gentlemen, are you ready
to go on with this case?
Mr.. Baird: If the Court please, in
view of the occurrences of yesterday and
especially of last night, with a panel of
twenty-four jurors, and we have but
one more case to try, ! will say that it
will be absolutely impossible to obtain
another jury for this other case without
impressing some of the panel that was
on duty yesterday, and recognizing the
futility of bringing any more prosecu-
tons under similar circumstances, ask
it in the interests Of justice and in be-
half of the united States, and I consid-
er it my duty, that the present case be
continued for at least two weeks in or

and a new panel brought before this
Court for the trial of this case; and
therefore move you, If the Court please,
that the present case be continued for
a period of two weeks.

Acknowledgement Farnham.

AS had been expected for some months
past, Gen. John F. Richards of Gardin er
resigned the Office of Adj. Gen. of Maine
Wednesday, Nov. 9th, to take effect Dee.
l, and Gov. Hill has appointed Col. Au-
gustus b. Farnham of Bangor to fill the
position.
The appointment is an excellent one,
every way fitting and well deserved.
No better one could be made. Gov.
Hill has seen fit to recognize the claim
of veterans of the war Of 1868 to this
place which is just the right thing to do.
OF course thu will come, ard that be-
fore many years, perhaps, when this
office with others must be filled by some
one other than "veteran," but, so long
as one so well equipped for the place as
the present appointee is, can be found,
the place should be conceded to the "Old
Soldier
Augustus B. Farnham was born In the
city of Bangor little more than 81
years ago. When the Civil war broke
out he offered his service to his country
and was commissioned first lieutenant OF
Company @, Second Maine Regiment, on
May Is, 1861. On Sept. Ia of the same
year, he was promoted to the captaincy
of his company and served in that capac-
ity until Jan. 2 1852, when he resigned
for the purpose Of recruiting company.
He was very successful and on Aug. g.,
1862, he was commissioned major OF the
Sixteenth Regiment. On Feb. 5, 1868,
he was commissioned lieutenant colonel
of the Sixteenth and served as such till
he was mustered out and honorably dis
charged from the service after the close
of the war, on June 5, 1866. He has
been postmaster Of Bangor and sheriff of
Penobscot county and has been promi
nent in the affairs of his native city.
He is at present commander OF the
Loyal Legion of the State of Maine.

A Terrible Collision.

A collision of two railroad trains, run
ming at high rate of speed, occurred on
the Wabash railroad near Seneca, Mich,
Wednesday night, Nov. 9th. The two
trains were piled up in fearful wreck,
with great destruction Of cars and en-
gines and the injury OF large number
of passengers. The number of deaths
resulting from the accident is estimated
at so. The cause of the accident appears
TO have been the misunderstanding OF an
order by which the trains were to cross
at Seneca and ran through that place.
Last week appears to have been a singu-
larly unfortunate one for railroads.
Three collisions of trains occurred dur
ing the night Of the 2Sth on the lines of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad in Connecticut, but though con-
siderable damage to rolling stocks result
ed, no person was seriously injured. Two
freights came together head on at Dan
bury and passenger trains at Naugatuck
and New London ran into freights. Four
engines and several freight cars were
wrecked. The tracks of the Naugatuek
and Danbury division were blocked for q
number of hours.
Twelve persons were injured in rear
end collision between a special passenger
t ain and a freight train on the Delaware,
Lackawanna 81 Western near Tully sta

Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving day was observed about
as usual in town. The factories and
workshops generally were closed during
the day and the stores were closed dur
ing the afternoon and evening. There
was considerable stir in the forenoon on
the streets but this subsidized at noon and
10 the afternoon evidently the people OF
our town attended to the pleasures Of
home ard friends and good dinners.
Union Thanksgiving services were
held in Bethany Baptist church, Thurs
day evening, with a sermon by DR..
Spencer, the pastor of that church. Rev.
Daniel Onstott, Rev. H. w. Kimball and
Rev. II. F. Huse were present and as.
sisted in the devotional exercises. The
singing WAS by the congregation with
Mrs. c. NJ. Lambert, organist. The text
was part of the 9th verse of the 68th
psalm. "God setteth the solitary in
families" The subject, 1.-The Family
was very Interestingly and ably treated.
The audience numbered not many more
than one hundred; much too small for so
valuable discourse.

1t is every woman's wish to be pos
