OF railroad commissioners charges the
Union Pacific railway company with
giving short weights on coal shipped

ceived me pleasantly.
We went together to the hotel near the
railroad station, where we had dinner

East, and | told him that from what

full tawny beard, with glints of bronze in it; he
was a grave-visaged, somewhat bucolic-looking
man The loss of his hair through illness had
served to give him resemblance to the typical
humorist which was later to be exaggerated in
the cartoons of McDougall When he began
1ecturng and settled in the effete East, he wore
smooth face and tailor-made clothes. But one
secret of Bill Nye's success as public entertainer
was his willingness to make fun of himself. and

WEAyER'S HEARING.

Held for the Grand Jury-BaiI of
$4,000 Not Furnished.
BAR HARBoR, June 6 Especially The
municipal court room was crowded Mon
day forenoon when hearing was held in
the case of Charles A. Weaver, charged
with assault with intent to kill, upon
Martin Davis, on Saturday evening, May
20, at Music hall. The case was continued
from the previous Monday when the bail
was fixed by Judge Clark at 5000. Being
unable to secure that amount Weaver
spent the week in the town lookup.
County Attorney Wood opened the case
Monday, giving very brief outline Of
the facts. Five witnesses for the State
were examined, and then the prosecution
rested its case.
The defence put in no evidence. The
five witnesses examined were Charles L.
Faulkenstrom, John O'Brien, Timothy
Coady, Police Officer Guthrie and DIR.
George A. Phillips. Faulkenstrom testi-
fed that he saw Weaver and Davis fight
ing, but did not see the pistol nor hear
saw the fight and both saw Weaver draw
the pistol and fire. Police Officer Guthrie
testified to arresting Weaver and taking
him to the lookup.
Dr.. George A. Phillips testified as to
Davis condition and chance of recovery.
He said he would recover without any
question. Davis was discharged from the
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1905-06-07

hospital Monday morning. DR.. Phillips
had in his pocket and showed to the court
the bullet which was taken from Davis
throat.
Judge Clark ordered the respondent to
be held to await the action of the grand
jury at the October term of the supreme
court. On the matter of bail the attorneys
made quite extended arguments. E. S.
Clark, for Weaver, urged that, in view of
DIR. Phillips testimony as to Davis con-
dition, and other circumstances, $500
would be sufficient bail. County Attor-
ney Wood opposed this, and Judge Clark
fixed the bail at 5000, which is the
amount fixed originally.
Weaver was unable to secure bail and
was taken to the county Jail at Ellsworth
Monday afternoon. 1t is understood that
Viewers attorneys will endeavor to have
the amount of bail reduced on habeas
corpus proceedings before Chief Justice
Wisweu next Monday.

search warrant, went to the camp and
found most Of the stolen goods. Clough
and strout were arrested on charge of
larceny. Before Judge Peters, in the Ellis
worth municipal court, they pleaded
guilty and were fined 20 and costs each,
amounting in all to about $40.
A notable addition to the feet OF power
boats in Union river is the launch lust
purchased by w. f. Whiting from John
9. Ralph, Of Southwest Harbor. The
launch was built last winter by Mr..
Ralph. She is 81 feet long, with an eight
horse two-cylinder Walker engine. Com
ing up the bay Saturday she made little
better than nine miles an hour. She has
house II feet long, and roomy cockpit.
She will be ehristensd the Ruth w. The
sloop Annie Lee was taken by Mr.. Ralph
in the trade. Mr.. Ralph intended to
launch the Annie Lee and take her to
Southwest Harbor Monday, but made a
sale before she came off the ways, A. d.
Stuart being the purchaser.
w. e. Whiting took a run down the
river Monday in his new launch, the Ruth
w. Leaving the mouth of the river he
sighted the launch Quiekstep, Capt. o. w.
Tapley, anchored near the spindle and
flying a signal of distress. The Ruth w.
hailed the Quiekstep, and learned from the
captain that he hadn't drop (of gasolene)
aboard, and mutinous crew, consist
ing OF j. w. Nealley, j. A. Cunningham
and Il. G. Moore. The Quickstep had gone
down the bay as far as Knapp's point
when the gssolene gave out. She worked
her way back to the spindle under jury
sail. There were mutterings among the
crew as soon as the gasolene gave out, and
by the time the Ruth w. hove in sight
things were looking pretty bad for Capt.
Tapley. The Ruth w. put Capt. John w.
Ralph, of Bar Harbor, aboard, and towed
the Quickstep up river.

AMUSEMENT NOTES

1.-THE Missouri girl which comes to
Hancock hall June IA, produces more
genuine, hearty laughter than any comedy
yet written. In connection with strong
and interesting plot, it contains many
Iudicrous situations. The company
presenting the play is fully capable of
extracting this fun, and dealing it out to
the public in most satisfactory manner.
Pauline Hammond will open three
nights engagement at Hancock hall to-
morrow evening, in series of high-class
performances. The opening bill is "a
Great Wrong Righted". Numerous
specialties will be introduced during the
action OF the play. Reserved seats are
now on sale at Moore's drug store.

with Mrs. Seammons to pay 50 month
rent for her house for the time after two
months that she was unable to live in the
house because of the rock crusher. The

not be allowed, as all damage had been

A petition for the extension of Dean
street from Hancock street through to
Water street was presented. 1t seemed
the sentiment of the board that the city
could not this year afford any appropris-
tion for street extension. 1t is proposed
to straighten and repair Dean and Han
cock streets at their junction, to give
better access to Hancock street from Dean,
and to confer with H. b. Phillips in re-
gard to fixing up the private way through
his property, which is really an extension
of Dean street. Mayor Hagerthy favored
a small allowance to Mr.. Phillips for fix
ing up the road and allowing its use.
Petition of residents of Oak and Main
streets for pipe drain through their
property from Oak street to connection
with drain across Irving osgood's prop
erty, was presented. The petition was
accompanied by list of subscriptions of
the property owners toward the work.
The distance is $50 feet. To lay
twenty-inch pipe drain which would be
required about $3.50 for pipe alone would
be necessary. B. f. Thomas, who APP
peared for the petitioners, thought the
owners would pay the balance for pipe and
the cost of laying same if the city would
donate 500.
On motion of Aid. Austin. committee
of three was appointed by the mayor to
visit the property, with power to act on
behalf of the city if deemed advisable.
The committee named were Aid. Moore,
Mccarthy and Trip.
Mayor Hagerthy brought up the matter
of Fourth of July celebration. The
board favored an appropriation for a
celebration, and $50 was voted. This is
the same amount as appropriated by the
city last year.
The meeting then adjourned.
