THE ROBBINS MURDER.
Hinted That Arrest May Be Made Be
fore the Next Court.

Rockland, Nc, jan 16.-Says the
COuricr-Gazcttc: The Deer Isle Mes
serser takes it for granted that the
Robbins murder mystery is as near to
solution as it will ever be. The Mes
Scnger says:
1T is now a year since Bill Robbins
met an untimcly death in his lonely
home at MOuntainville at the hands of
a brutal and unknown assassin 1t
would seem that the officers have done
every reasonable thing to bring the
guilty one to punishment. and that
their efforts have not been more sue
ccssful is regretted by none more than
by the people of Deer Isle The MUIR
Gerer. thus far. goes free and unmolest-
ed. except by the prickings which must
occasionally disturb his guilty con-
science. Though we regret that the
criminal has not been ferreted out and
made to suffer the penalty of his act,
none wish to see by any possible per-
version of evidence an innocent man
implicated in the affair." Yea, it is in
deed better that 4 dozen guilty men go
free than one innocent man suffer-"
In spite of this opinion. Il prominent
resident of Deer Isle, whose knowledge
of the case ought to be az good as any
bndy'S, tells COurier-GaZctte reporter
that there is likelihood of an arrest be-
fore the next term of court 1t Is hint
cd that q detective has been working
quietly and cautiously on the case.

WISCASSET BRIDGE OPENED.
Is Three-quarters Of Mile Long, Cost
$4,000 and Is Free,

Wiscasset. Me, Jan. 1.-THE new
bridge between this place and the
Edgccomb shore was opened to the
public by the Lincoln county commits
sioncrs today.
This bridge has been part to sup
plant the old toll bridge that has done
service between these towns for more
than half Il century. This old bridge
that is now gone had a great history
and at different times has been in
charge of noted men. One Of these
was the famous John Budd, who at a
ripe age is still living in Woolwich.
The late Judge Peters of Bangor
often crossed the bridge to visit this
man whom he was pleased to call his
friend Years ago there was an old
sign calling attention to the matter of
toll, but this was taken down and SOLD.
The old toll house was moved. The
old oak under which Judge Peters lo>
ed to sit and talk with the tollman
still stands.
The new bridge is free and bids fair
to be of great benefit to Wiscasset in
the future. 1t is fully three-oI1arters
OF mile long and has cost about
$4,000. There is no other bridge in
Maine that can compare with it in
length. The people in this village. as
we'll as those in Edgecomb are great
ly pleased with the new bridge.

APOLOGY RENDERED
BY Anti Statehood Man After Clash
With Powers Of Maine.

Washington. Jan. 11.-For two hours
tories and the delegation of the Anti
Joint Statehood League of Arizona
engaged in a "sparring contest" which
eliminated in 4 personal clash DC
tween Representative Powers, Maine,
and Delegate Smith, Arizona. that
concluded with an apology by Mr..
Smith. The break came while r. A.
Morrison of Prescott, Ariz.. was ad-
dressing the committee. When Mr..
Powers began questioning MIR. Morri-
son as to the proportion of Mexican
population in Arizona and New Mexico
Mr.. Smith objected. Mr.. Powers re-
scented the interruption and exclaimed:
Il understand fully the scnsitivcness
Of this delegation concerning these
questions. / know whom they represent
and all about them"
81 have seen enough of this and !
dcnouncc the charge as false" MI.
Smith retortcd
You may impuSn the motives of
the chair but when you impugn my
motives | shall resist" Mr.. Powers re-
piled cmphatically Il shall ask all
the questions l want to-"
The committee was i'm an up
roar by this time and after Chairman
Hamilton called order and asked tie
members to be more calm, Mr.. Smith
offered an apology, saying that per-
haps he was mistaken but that Mr..
Powers questions struck him as
though inspired by partisanship and
not designed by q desire for infOrma-
ton.

He MAY SURVIVE.
Horrible Accident to a
Greenfield Boy.
Bean Pole Penetrates and
Protrudes Through Body.
Easily Removed Under Ether and Doctor
Says He Has a Chance.

Bangor, Me-, Jan. 17.-Johny Fow-
Ter, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Dan
iel Fowler of Greenfield, Me-, while
coasting down hill yesterday. struck a
the 1A-inch pole projecting several
inches on the opposite side. The boy is
un6er physicians care with the
chances good for recovery.
The pole projected from the snow and
ice directly i'll the path of the boy as he
coastcd down a hill near his home in
the isolated village 80 miles northeast
OF Bangor. He was unable to avoid the
pole and struck with such force that it
entered the body near the front and be-
tween the thigh and trunk and passing
completely through the body, emerged
several inches at the back. Thirteen
inches of the pole passed into the body
before the momentum of the coaster
was stopped.
The boys condition was supposed to
be hopeless when Dr. Charles Is. Porter
was called from old Town and the fact
that death did not follow immediatcly
was due to the failure of the pole to in
jure AN internal organ. DR.. Porter af-
ter saving off one of the ends and ad.
ministering ether to the boy, removed
the pole successfully and quite easily.
He said the patient was resting COM
fOrtably and has about n even chance
to live.
The boy was resting easily tonight al
though he had some fever resulting from
the nervous shock. Dr. Porter said II
may be - days before the outcome OF
the accident is sure. Blood poisoning ma,
develop, but every prccaution was takcr
to prevent it.

IN THE SENATE.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE recent
forciblc removal from the White House
OF Mrs. Minor Morris, was made the
subject of emphatic denunciation by
Mr.. Tillman in the Senate today. His
remarks called out remonstrances from
Mcssrs. Hale. Hopkins and Daniel ara
led to the very abrupt closing of the
doors and the sudden adjournment Of
the Senate in the middle Of the after
noon.
The speech abounded in Mr.. Till
mans peculiar expressions and was
characterized by many severe and cx-
ceptonally personal thrusts at the
President. At times he wcpt over
what he regarded as indignities to the
lady and he declared in the face Of
protests from his fellow senators that
he would demand an investigation Of
the White House incident.
The reference to the treatment OF
Mrs. Morris constituted the latter half
of a speech based upon the senator's
resolution making inquiry Of the Prcsi-
dent concerning the status of our re-
lations with the republic of Santo Do
mingo and was added to illustrate his
theory that the present administration
is tending toward Imperialism.
In the first part of the address he
characterized the course of the United
States i'll Santo Domingo as great
extension of the Monroe Doctrine and
said that if pursued the policy would
lead the country into many serious
complications. He accused the Presi-
dent of putting the treaty into execu-
ton in the face of the Senate's re-
fusal to act, denounced the Senate as
willing to submit subsequently to all
that is asked of it and implored sem
ators to show their independence and
thus teach the Executive a lesson and
at the same time serve the country.
With reference TO the Morris occur
renee he declared that the President
here had been derelict in failing to
punish his subordinate for their course
and quoted statements from persons
said TO have been witnesses to the
show that the proceedings had been
inhuman. He informally presented and
said that he would tomorrow formally
present a resolution for an invcstiga-
ton of the entire incident.
1t WAS the introduction of this reso-
luton which called out the protest
from Mr.. Daniel. while Mr.. Hale op-
ter at all. except upon proof. Mr.. Till
man declared his determination not to
be guided by their advice and closed
with the reiteration of his determina-
ton to bring in the resolution tomor-
row. The announcement occasioncd q
number of hurried conferences and It
is understood that as a result of them
MI. Tillman will be urged not to carry
out his purpose.
Prominent senators on both sides
said that the resolution would COM
mand few votes.
When the Senate convened Tillman
was prepared to proceed with his
speech on the status of affairs in SantU
Domingo. He was not recognized un-
til the routine business had been dis.
posed Of
The first matter of importance taken
up was the resolution offered yesterday
by Culberson relative to the ownership
by Philippine officials Of land in the
Philippine islands. The resolution was
presented by Culberson in modified
