MRS. NYE'S RIDE
In a Wagon Which She Is Accused Of
Stealing.

FARMINoToN, Nov Wednesday after
noon Sheriff Alonzo Sylvester, of Farming
ton, lodged Charles and Clara Nye, of New
Sharon in the Farmiugton Jail on charge of
larceny.
About three O'Clock Sunday morning, Capt
Peter p. Tufts, Farmington's well known
town treasurer, was awakened by violent
ringing of his door bell. A woman stood at
the door holding a harnessed horse by the
bride She gave the name of a family at
Pennington Falls, said she had been that
night at Pennington with sick relative, and
short distance back while returning to Ler
home her horse had become frightened and
wrecked the wagon, and she asked the loan
of wagon to complete her journey.
The 0bliging captain readily loaned the
woman his wagon, vehicle valued at from
| while in Pennington village on business,
Capt. Tufts net the husband of the woman
| who had been reported to him as i'll, and
| found the story was false. His fears then
| aroused, Capt Tufts FASTENED to Farming
| ton Falls, and there had the fact that he had
| been robbed confirmed.
He placed the case in the hands of Sheriff
| Sylvester, who Tuesday morning by shrewd
| detective work got on to a clue and traced
| the wagon and woman to New Vineyard,
| thence to New Portland and from there
| through to Embden, where the wagon was
| found at Charles Lanes, who had purchased
| 1t of Clara Nye Clara had given the wagon
| and her note for thirty dollars for black
| horse owned by Lane. Leaving Embden
| Wednesday morning with wagon the sheriff
| FASTENED to New Sharon where he was met
| by Capt Tufts who thoroughly identified his
| property. The Nyes were then put under
| arrest. They assert their innocence.

BABIES NAMED FOR HIM.
Funny Things in the Mall Of the Pres
ldent-eIect.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Nov. 22.-General
Harrison spent the day. which was cool and
preasant. hard at at work in reducing his
stack of unanswered letters. There seems
TO be but little appreciable decrease in the
volume Of correspondence daily received, and
hundreds of congratulatory letters still contin-
ue to arrive, but gradually the complexion of
his mail is changing from congratulatory to
solicitation, and applications for Office are
daily growing more numerous.
Among the numerous other letters an
swered by General Harrison to-day were
forty-four replies to parents who had in
formed him that they had named their babies
ceptions these namesakes were all born since
General Harrison's election. The excep-
tlOns are two sets of trplets, boys, born
shortly before the election, the parents in
each case naming one for General Harrison,
one for President Cleveland and one for the
father. Acknowledgment to the parents of
third set of triplets similarly named was
made couple Of weeks prior to election.
Mrs. Harrison is also in receipt of numer-
GUS letters stating that several Carrie. Har-
risons have been christened since election
day, and to all such communications she
promptly replies; but the numerous applca-
tlons and intercessions for office that are
being mailed to her, receive no attention and
are cOnSlBneu 10 the waste basket. Ii may
be stated that this rule has been adopted by
Mrs. Harrison, aud will be impartially OBJ
served No communication of a political
character will receive her attention.
While President-elect Harrison was read
his mail this afternoon he came across blank
circular, sent out by a Philadelphia newspa
per, offering a cash prize OF $50 to the person
who will fill in the correct names of General
Harrison's cabinet. As he read the circular
it seemed to suggest an idea for he remarked: I:
Il think could win that prize but l won't
try"
Among the presents received by General
Harrison to-day was richly-bound volume
containing illustrations of characters taken
from Munkazcy's famous painting "Christ
Before PLATE" which happens now to be on
exhibitions in this city. The present was
from John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia.

the river at L'Islet. 43 miles below Quebec,

The Allan steamer Pomeranian, which was
on fire yesterday, cannot be got ready for sea
in time, and she will probably lay idle in
Montreal until the spring.
The other three steamers yet in port are
likely to share the same fate, which will en-
tail a loss of hundreds of thousands to the
company, outside of the expense of unload
ing what cargo is already on board, and
which will have to be shipped by way of

MILLIONS INVOLVED.
Patent Rights to A Soldering iron
Used In Canning.

BOSTON, Nov. pa jury's verdict which
will probably prove of the greatest import
ance as affecting the canning interests of
this country was rendered this morning in
the United States circuit court in Boston, in
the case OF Lewis McMurray and others
against George Il. Emerson the well known
canned goods manufacturer, OF Somerville
The amount of the verdict was the apparent
ly Insignificant sum of $93.75 but brief ex-
PLANTATION will show that its extent is of the
utmost consequence. Several years ago GER
tain parties by the names of Banker and
Bostwiek whose interests are now represent
ed by the plaintiffs obtained patent for a
soldering iron which superseded the cum
bersome method of sealing tin preserving
cans then in vogue.
The patentees did not introduce or protect
the invention and in time similar apparatus
was in use in every canning establishment In
the country. A suit was brought against
Emerson as test case and the patented iron
and that in use by the defendant were so
evidently Of the same pattern that no de-
tense was possible. 1t was agreed that the
iron had been used on $4,000 cans and the
verdict was that the plaintiff should receive
royalty OF Sl.S73 on every 1000 cans. When
it is taken into consideration how many mil
hon OF canned goods have been manufae-
tured within the last ten years upon which
the Infringing iron has been used, 1t will be
seen that the amount which may be recoy-
cred is enormous.
One of the counsel interested for the de-
fendant In the present case said that if the
plaintiffs proceeded aginst all who had in
fringed the patent they could probably col
lect as large an amount as $50,000,000. Suits
are to be at once instituted against all
manufacturers who have violated the
rights OF the plaintiffs.

AUGUSTA, Nov. 22.-Another case of diph-

tai this morning. A male patient who had
the disease several weeks ago, suffered re-
lapse. The disease is in a mild form. The

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 22.-When the dele
CATION left the hall at 11.30 tonight the press
committee announced that the Skofington
trouble had been under discussion all the
morning and the general executive board had
been sustained. Skofington has been held
guilty of insubordination and was suspend
ed for year.
AT the afternoon session the committee
on appeals and grievances reported adverse
~ to the action of the general executive
board In ordering all the local assemblies in

report was adopted. The finance committee
reported that 1t found the methods Of dis
bursement Of funds very loose: that bills had
not been countersigned before being paid
and that some officers should be given veto
power in regard to the expenditure Of money.
The report states that reductions decided on
by the consolidation and reduction of officers
would foot up $4,000, and the salaries will
remain the same as heretofore. 1t was
voted to continue the salary of $4,000 to the

The fiscal year at the Maine State Prison
closes Nov. 30th. Inspectors Wentworth,
Dresser and Clary were at Rockland last
week taking account Of stock preparatory to
making up the annual report. The change
made last year in the employment Of the con
victs, whereby only 20 per cent Of the con-
yicts are allowed by law to be employed In
any one branch of work, will cause, it Is
said, a large falling off in the profits Of the
institution, In fact the debt side of the
books will be in the ascendency. The man
agement of the prison, both financially and
disciplinary, under Warden Bean has been
excellent.

Edward Harrington Refuses to pa,

LONDON, Nov. 22.-The examination of
witnesses from County Kerry was continued
at the setting of the Parnell Commission to-
day. Mr.. Leanard. agent of the est .es of
the Earl of Kenmare, said the Lea ue was
as active as ever. He thoroughly disagreed
with the statement of Mr.. Balfour that the
League was thing of the past. In this
part of Kerry, the fight the League was max
ing was at its hottest. The plan Of cam
paign was all-powerful. Formerly a writ
could be executed by sheriff with the aid
of four policemen. Now 400 soldiers were
required. The members of the League met
every Sunday after attending mass to ar
range the weeks programme of rent resist
aDce aand intimidation. Resistance come
from well-to-do people. Until the year 1880
the tanants had been friendly, but after the
League was formed, they scoffed at him and
the landlords. The witness admitted that in
1880 1t was necessary to give tenants assist

CABINET GOSSIP.
Ohio People Expect to See Senator
Sherman Appointed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 22.-Among the
callers at the home Of the President-elect
today there were several men of political
prominence, including A. L. Conger of Ak
ron, Ohio, and Gen. James M. Shackelford
of Evansville, Ind, each of whom came to
talk to him about appointments, but not
with reference to Cabinet selections. Gen.
Shackelford was one Of the leaders of the
Gresham Republicans who went from Indi-
ana to the Chicago con, ention, but after the
nomination he gave hearty support to Gen.
Harrison. He has long had a desire to 90
abroad as representative of the United
States, and under the Arthur administration
was prominent as an aspirant Tor appoint
ment as United States Minister to Mexico.
1t is not improbable that he, will be given a
position of importance under the new ad-
ministration. In Southern Indiana he has
much influence in politics, and in war histo-
ry is distinguished as the colonel who pur-
sued John Morgan, the Confederate guerilla,
on his raid into the North, and captured him
in Ohio.
The purpose of Mr.. Conger's visit was
we'll concealed 1t is known that he came
on the invitation of the Preeident-elect and
was evidently greatly pleased with what he
referred TO as his "hour chat with General
Harrison" In an interview, he said that
Ohio people expect that John Sherman

listers, either Secretary Of State or Secretary
of the Treasury, and it is believed that he
would accept.

covered Just In Time.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 22.-George l..
Lewis, for nearly three years clerk and
messenger in the City National Bank here,
has been spmmarily dismissed, it having
been discovered that he had plans for rob-
bing the bank. The matter became known
to the officers of the bank three or four
weeks ago aud the investigations leading to
the discovery were made by eX-Inspector
Hanscom, of Boston, and one of his detec-
tives of the Pinkerton agency. Lewis has
made written confession which the bank
officers decline tolmake public. The detec-
tive gained Lewls's confidence by represent
ing himself as professional crook Lewis
met him by appointment and received from
him lot of good money which be supposed
was counterfeit. Lewis gave his supposed
confederate an impression of seal bearing
Cashier Bowman's name which he supposed
would be used in getting $4,000 from the

New YORK, Nov. 22.-The most sensation

Philadelphia league club. MI. Reach said
they would sell if they could get their price.

influence Of Redfeld Proctor that this i'm
portant support was thrown to the Indiana
candidate. It received grateful attention
ter when Mr.. Practor called upon the nomi-
nee at his come in this city, he was given an
exceptionally warm welcome. Vermont has
not been represented in the Cabinet since
1849, and 1t is not improbable that the Presi-
dent-elect may determine to appoint Mr..
Proctor Secretary of the Interior. If he is
not called into the Cabinet. he will certainly
