NO CLUE YET
To the Murderers of Paymaster NC
Clure.


WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 2l.
Many sensational stories are floating about
regarding the murder of Paymaster Mcclure
and Flanagan his assistant. Friday num-
Der of suspected persons were arrested but
were afterwards discharged, Contractor Nc
Fadden being satisfied that none had any
knowledge of the affair. All theories that
the murders were committed by ignorant
Italian or Hungarian labors, have been aban-
doned for good. 1t is also pretty certain
that the deed was committed by no more
than two persons, and these were certainly
expert rifiemen. An effort will be made to-
morrow to raise by popular subscription $500
to be added to the $1,000 reward already
offered.

Bond for Surety Companies.
New YORK, Oct. 20

NEW ORk, OCT. 70.
Judge Barrett of the supreme court rem
dered an important decision affecting sure
ty companies today, by disappearing the Sl0,-
0G0 bond of the American Surety Company
for the sheriff in the suit of William G.
Tibbetts and others against Isaac J. Selig-
man and others, in which action the plain
tiff recovered judgment for S47l5 and
sought to take certain property on execu-
ton. A third party had claimed the proper
ty on an indemnity bond for $4,000 from the
American Surety Company. Judge Barretts
decision is practically to the effect that sure
ty companies have not the authority to issue
indemnity bonds to relieve sheriff of re-
sponsibility on levies on executions.

IN A BUREAU DRAWER.
The Police Capture the Stock in Trade
OF Sunday Dram shop.

Some five weeks since one Michael Ma
honey and woman claiming to be his wife
arrived in this city from Watervlle and
took up their quarters in the wooden build
ing just south of the Journal Office. Ma
honey ostensibly worked at the Hallowell
granite quarry and his better half obtained
employment in the mill at the same place.
Before they had been long in their new
quarters the police noticed that on Sundays
the Mahoneys were remarkably hospitable,
and that the large number of visitors whom
they entertained usually emerged in n very
hilarious frame of mind. Two weeks
ago yesterday, a search was made, but moth
ing but some glasses of beer and a Jug
smelling strongly of whiskey was found.
Yesterday afternoon City Marshal Morse and
Deputy McKenney entered the house BY
the back door, taking the propretors
completely by surprise, and began strict
search of the house. At first nothing was
| found. As the bureau drawers were
triumphant smile overspread the countenance
of Mr.. Mahoney. Marshal Morse, however,
has searched for liquor before, and the fact
that the bottom drawer was considerably
shorter than the outside of the bureau, did
not escape his eye. Between each end Of
this drawer and the outside were two COM
partments in which were snugly ensconcsd
six bottles of whiskey. When Mahoney saw
that his secret was discovered, he made q
break for the back door, and at last accounts
was making good time down the railroad
track. He is well known in criminal cir
cles, having many times been confined in
Auburn Jail.
Last spring while loading leather at the
Jail gate he escaped and is now wanted by
the sheriff of Androscoggn County. The
woman with whom he is in partnership is the
notorious Kate Hodges of Bleachery Hill,
Lewiston, who has spent at least third Of
the last twenty years in Jail for liquor sell
ing and drunkenness. The pair since their AZ
rival in Augusta, have made regular busi-
ness of selling liquor on Saturday night and
Sundays, and as the other dram shops are

the jsil and her husband will probably soon
be captured.
During the past week mission has been
held at the National Home ID. V. S. by
Catholic clergy of the surrounding towns
and much interest has been manifested by
the nine hundred or more Catholic veterans
who are inmates. The mission was under
the direction of Rev. Father Hurley of Win
throp, who preached the opening sermon on
Sunday and who was followed on Monday
! by Rev. Father Plante of Augusta. Rev.
Father McDonough of Whitefeld, preached
, on Tuesday, and Rev. Father McCarty on
5 Wednesday. The mission was closed on
, Thursday by Rev. Father Hurluy. The
reverend gentlemen were cordially enter
tanned by the officers of the Home, special
quarters being provided for them during
their stay.
