was brought to the Journal office,
yesterday, by G., S. Wood who occupies
the Maple Grove farm in Vassalboro,
formerly owned by Joseph Allen. The
stocks stood 76 and 72 inches tall re-
spectively and when one considers
that the average man is UNDERGO inch
es it will be seen that one might get
lost in field of such grass. Mr.. Wood

THE BLONDIN TRIAL.
Woman Supposed to he Last TO See Mrs
BIondin Alive Testifies.

Boston, Dec. 5.-In the Blondin mur-
der trial to-day Mrs. Hennigan. whom
the government believes was one of the
last persons to have seen Mrs. Blondin
alive. was the principal witness of the
day. She was called to the stand dur
ing the forenoon and her examination
was completed just before the adjourn
ment. 1t had been understood that the
government considered Mrs. Hennigan
one of the most important witnesses in
the case. It'was developed during the
cross examination, however that after
Mrs. Hennigan had seen Blondin and
his wife enter their room Saturday af-
ternoon. April 27, 1901, she remained
within few feet Of the door until Blon-
din came out and left the house Dur
ing that time she heard no sound of
any kind to indicate that a struggle
was taking place.

New York, Dec. 5.-Arguments on the
motion for new trial for Albert T.
Patrick, the lawyer, who was convicted
of having murdered William Marsh
Rice, the aged millionaire, on Septem-
ber 21, 1900, was begun this morning In
Part II of general sessions before Re-
corder Golf. Assistant District Attorney
Garvan represented the people, and
John C. Tomlinson the prisoner. The
affidavits on which the motion for a
new trial was based are voluminous
and set forth that complete immunity
was given Valet Charles Jones, who
confessed that he committed the MUIR
der, and assert that new and important
evidence has been gathered. According
to the papers in the case the expert
testimony cost s32, ,9O2SO, and the total
cost to the state was $4,000.
Mr.. Tomlinson served notice that he
would subpoenae District Attorney Je-
rome, Assistant District Attorneys Os-
borne and Garvan, the foreman of the
jury that found the indictment against
Patrick, and George Gordon Battle to
testify in court tomorrow.

permit the foreman of the grand jury to
be brought in to the case, but that the
others could be subpoenaed. The hear
ing was then adjourned until to-mor-

GERMAN ARTFF FIGHT.
Reason the Government Came to Terms
r. With Majority Parties. -..

t-s. with MoJofasy Tarties.
Il Berlin, Dec. 5.-The reason the gov
ernment came to terms with the ma
jority parties in the Reichstag on the
tariff bill was that it learned Russia
was going to denounce the commercial
treaty before the years end, hence the
necessity for getting the tariff bill pass
ed as quickly as possible in order to
have basis on which to negotiate a
new treaty.
The government was also extremely
anxious to get the treaty ratified by
the present Reichstag and remove the
tariff and treaty questions from the
realm of practical politics before the
general election Of June. In order to do
so more effectively indications point to
the government intention to bring up
some military question, like the appro-
priation for the Improvement of the ar
tillery, on which the election fight will
be made.

AIMED AT United STATES
RESOLUTION AS TO TREATMENT
OF GERMAN GOODS

introduced in tho RcfchsfaZ Yesterday
chancellor Won Bueiow Asked TO
Issue Warming That ihe Host Favored
Nation Privileges VIII be DiseOn-
tinued with Amy Country Not Giving s
German Goods Fair Reciprocity Treae-
menttn Return.
Berlin, Dec. 5.-Baron Heyl Won Her
rensheim, Count Won Kanitz and Baron
Won Kardorff, together with sixty-four
Conservative, National-Liberala and an
ti-Semite members of the Reichstag, in
troduced a resolution to-day directly
aimed at the United States. The reso-
luton asks Chancellor Won Buelow, be-
fore renewing the commercial treaties,
to serve notice on any country not Civ
ing German goods fair reciprocity
treatment that the existing most IA
vored nation privileges will be discon-
tinued in it's case when the general
commercial treaties are renewed.
Liberal critics point out that if the
above leads to tariff war Germany
will get worsted. since the United
States is able to get manufactured
goods from England and France, which
Germany is now supplying, whereas
Germany must have American raw
materials, petroleum, etc.
The majority parties introduced an
an amendment to the rules designed to
to further suppress obstructionists, by
limiting all kinds of questions or order
to five minutes and also empowering
the president to refuse the floor at his
discretion to members wishing to speak
on such questions.
The conservative papers have been
reviewing the history of American par
liamentary practice, showing how fill
clustering has been wholly eliminated
from the House Of Representatives.
The proceedings to-day were meas
urably quiet and confined to hearing
verbal reports of the work of the men,
bers of the tariff committee.
The House adjourned to Tuesday,
owing to Monday being Catholic holi-
day.

TO WORK LONG AS THEY WISH.
Amend n,ent to Rhode Island TEN Hour
Law Favoring Trolley Men,

Providence, Dec. 5.--The senate to-
day passed an amendment to the ten
hour law, passed at the last session,
which gives the employees of street rail-
ways in Rhode Island the right to con-
tract with officials of such roads to
work as many hours daily as they wish.
The law as originally passed took from
street railway employees their right to
contract for work lasting more than ten
in twelve consecutive hours. The corr
porations contested the law vigorously
on the ground that it was unconstitu-
tiOnal
