The verdict of the coroner's jury in
the case of William A. Deering, who was
shot at his home in Brewer, was made
public the first of the week. 1t states
that Deering came to his death by shot
from revolver fired by his wife, Mary
III. Deering. Mrs. Deering is hopelessly
i'll and can live but few days. She has
been much of the time for months under
the influence of opium administered in
various forms to relieve her pain, and it is
supposed that she did the ill-considered
deed under that influence. Her death Is
expected to close the chapter very
shortly.

An attempt was made in the early
morning of Sunday, the 22d, to wreck
the house of Policeman Thomas A. Davis
of Bangor by means of dynamite. The
dynamite was lowered into the cellar in
tin pail through window which had
been removed. As it happened, the
dynamite rolled away from the rest so
that it was not exploded by the detonator
when that went off, and no damage was
done. Policeman Davis and his family
were asleep in the house at the time.
Three years ago an attempt was made to
burn the Davis house and Mr.. Davis
narrowly escaped. His family were at
the seashore at tho time. Since then he
has had windows broken and his house
has been otherwise defaced. Although
the police are endeavoring to find the
guilty persons, they have been unable
as yet to find any valuable clue.

CAPTAIN BERGER
HAS HIS TROUBLES

Captain Berger was in great stew
Yesterday. He didn't know whether the
hand was to go to Hilo or not today
for several hours, and the Captain, al
wavs a little excitable, didn't enjoy
himself much. 1t all came about when
the KappeImeister applied for funds to
nay the expenses Of the trip to the
Rainy City. There is an appropriation
for the purpose, but the Captain found
he couldn't draw it in advance, or I'M
til the auditor had passed upon the
bills he incurred. Auditor Fisher ruled
that under the provisions Of the appro-
priation act there is no authority to
advance money for paying the bands
expenses, and vouchers would have to
be sent in and go through the regular
course and warrants would be issued at
the end of the month as usual
Captain Berger couldn't take his band
to Hilo on credit. however, and the trip
was about to be given up, when some
kind friend offered to advance the mon
ey needed for expenses. and the Kap-
pelmeister is all smiles again. The
band leaves on the Kinau at noon
today
