AxwoRTHYS WHEREABOUTS.
Lost His Courage and so Failed to Save
Himself

| CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 26.
| Fragments of testimony in connection
with the defalcation of Tom Axworthy show
that he had contemplated absconding or
making clean breast of it to local friends
for some time ebfore he :an away. A day or
two before he left he called on Collector of
Internal Revenue John Farley, one of his
best friends, and duriLg rambling talk
broke down and was on the point of telling
Farley the story of his trouble, when he
dragged himself together, made an excuse
and hurried away Some mistakes made in
the hurry of checking the books show that
his shortage amounts to $4,000 In an
investigation his assistant said that Axworthy
had drawn SIP 900 the day before he left,
and has not accounted for one cent In ad-
dition to this Axworthy took away at least
$50 900 in cash. The fact that he is in
Belgium is as good as confirmed, and no one
here believes that he will ever be caught. In
all his doings he is marked as shrewd self
reliant man. Had he made an effort to clear
himself up he could have done SO without
doubt.
But shortage of quarter of a million
scared him into running away, so his best
friends think. There is also no doubt about
him being caught with other local men rich
er than he, in the wheat squeeze which
caused the Fidelity failure. He certainly
lost a large sum in Gogebic iron stocks and
in copper speculatons. The bondsmen's
suits are likely to do them no good. AL
though Axworthy banked the city's cash un-
der his own name, it is clear that
the banks treated it as municipal
money, so their officials testify. 1t
also turns out that Axworthy's personal
possessions were largely overestmated.
Since the law passed which made it obliga-
tory for him to deposit the cash at interest
and tor the towns benefit in the banks paving
the highest rate of interest Axworthy has
been unsettled, and from the day the law
passed, he is supposed to have planned his
"trip. Before the law passed the treasurer
drew a nominal salary and protted through
the interest of the money in his hands.

ures.


Special to the kennebec Journal.
RICHMOND, Oct. 26.
Thomas Connors, workman employed at
the Modoc Ice Houses, met with quite bad
accident yesterday afternoon. He was en-
gagged in loading ice when two large cakes
slipped from the loader and, in falling, cut
a bad cash in his head. The wound is -four
inches in length and is very painful one
1t is hoped that with careful attention moth
ing serious will result from it.
One of the most energetic officials in Sag
adahoc county is Deputy Sheriff George
Hodges of this place. During the past week
Mr.. Hodges has made matters very lively
for the rum sellers. The amount of pocket
peidling carried on may be seen from the
fact that within this time Mr.. Hodges hai
seized 100 pint bottles of rot gut. In addi
ton TO this ten gallons were secured Thurs
day in one haul, carefully packed away in q
-four barrel.

BIG SHIPS SUPREME
Is the Opinion Expressed by Admiral
Porter in His Report.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 26.
In his annual report Admiral Porter says
No matter whether we bring dynamite
shells and torpedo vessels to perfection or
not the safety of our policy lies in building
fast cruisers and heavy armor clads like the
Puritan, Maine and Texas. These are heavy
artillery which in all battles have decided
the contest, and will continue to do so for
the ingenuity of man will always contrive
some way to protect the prime factors of
the great ships from the annoyance of small
frye. 1t has been so thus far in the race for
supremacy of big ships and will SO continue.
The country's first aim should be to protect
the coasts, the large cities thereon. This
can only be done by heavy armor clads and
strong Notifications, carrying the most pow
erful guns that can be constructed.

Frank Opinion OF Sackville
[From the New York Sun. ]


Having thus publicly expressed his opinion
that the most important act of the executive
branch of the government of the United
States during Mr.. Cleyeland's administration
was mere campaign clap-trap, and that the
course of the United States Senate with re-
gard to a grave question of international
relations was likewise inspired by charla-
tanry, we do not think that by any stretch
of courtesy or forbearance, Lord Sackyille
can hardly be regarded as welcome person
age at the seat Of our government His dip
lomatic usefulness is at an end so far as this
nation sis concerned. He should
have his passports. Ii may be that Lord
Sackville's original intention was to promote
Mr. Cleyeland's political interests on the
sly. If that is the case, every Democrat has
reason to deplore the British minister's vol
unteer essay in offensive partizanship, Just as
every American has cause for indg ration at
his unwarranted interference in our domestic
politics. lie should have his passports, and

Some of the democratic newspapers of the

can, had announced his intention of voting
for Harrison in court, and had been hunted
down by Ward Detective Cornelius Leary, a
democrat. They also stated that Leary was
going to claim Chairman Qaay's reward, and
they have INDUCED in many jocose remarks
about the first fish in Chairman Quays net
being republican. Investigation showed
all those statements to oe utterly false. Cor
don never said that he was republican, and
the fact that he is now in the State Prison
is due alone to republican vigilance.
