Mr.. B. W. Msllett, now one of the p'in-
cipsl merchants and. lumber operators
residing at Fort Kent, first came TO the
town in April 1858. Mr.. Mal,ett came
from the town of Lee iii pen)hscot county
and was in the lumber business four years
at Portage Lake before coming to Fort
Kent. During the summer of 1858 he was
employed by Msior Dickey in the mills on
Fi.h river and in the fall Of the same year
moved TO the mouth of Negro brook. a few
miles below the mouth Of the AIlegash
river Here he bought Of Isaac Hacker
the mill built in 1915 by Hale and Mcclure
of Lincoln and by them sold to Mr.. Hacker.
He also built house and stcre and for two
years traded and manufactured clapboards
ct this place. In 1855 Mr.. Maiiett moved
down to St. Francis, where he purchased q
farm ard built the house in which Mr..
Angus Sinclair afterwards lived. He also
built store at st Francis ami fsrmed and
traded here for six years. In 1861 he west
into the employ Ct the Aroostook Land
| Co, and for five years was employed in
scaling logs ard looking after Wild lande.
In 1856; he moved again to Fort Kent and
bought house on Main street nearly oppo-
site Mr.. W. H. Qualities. He formed a
partnership with Mr.. Cunliffe. under the
firm name of 3. W. Mallett & Co. and the
| firm built large store on the Ne~ Bruns-
wick eide Of the river immediately opposite
Fort Kent. The firm Of B. w. Msllett &
Co. did = large business il trailing and
buying and shipping shaved cedar shingles,
which at that time vas an immense indus
try upon the upper St. John. Many mil
lions Of shaved shingles we're at that time
bought ard shipped annually by the mer-
chants Of Fort Kent and other points along
the river and nearly the whole French pop-
ulation of that section was employed in
their manufacture The shingles were
doated in immense RATS down the river t,
Grand Falls, where they were taken from
the water. hauled BY teams around the falls
and again RATED ia the bssin be.o~. They

A Noted murderer Captured.

NASHVILLE, TENN, May 23.-George
Dunaway. the somewhat noted muir
derer, was captured this morning at bic
fathers residence near Murfreesboro.
The murders occurred some eighteen
months ago, when Dunaway was in love
with his cousin; and when she refused to
marry HIM he committed an outrage
upon her person, then murdered her.
The mother of the girl attempted her
rescue, and the same shotgun used in
killing the girl also did similar work for
her mother. The father then intertered /,
and he barely escaped with his life. The
murderer then escaped. A dispatch to
the American says the murderer will
probably be lynohed.

The Party OF Scientists Who Went Out to View
the SUMS Eclipse in December.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May 23.- The United
States war ship Pensacola reached port
this morning. The Pensacola left here
October last, having on board Professor
Todd and his party of scientists, who
went to San Paul de Loando, South At
RIGA, to observe the total eclipse of the
sun in December The weather was not
sufficiently clear for satisfactory obser-
vations Of the eclipse, although various
parties of observers were sent to the
most advantageous points in that local
itY, and the ship herself steamed out
some distance from port to takel
a series of shots at the sun. After Ieav 4
ing San Paul de Loando, run down to.
Cape Town was made for coal and pros
visions, and then its homeward voyage
begun.
The return was made by way of the
islands of St. Helena and Barbados.
Although the Pensacola is a good sailor
in fair winds, her stesming powers are
not much to boast of, SO her somewhat
long voyage is easily accounted for. The
Pensacola will probably be made tenn
porary flagship on European station. It
is thought Rear Admiral Harmony will
be put in command of the station.

A Current Rumor Denied-An Important
Undertaking on Foot.
Special to the Gazette.
BOSTON, MASS, Nay PA City of Mexico
special to the Herald says the report that the
railway companies would be willing to take
bonds having fifty years to run is incorrect. The
railway presidents have not had conference
with the minister of finance, as the award loan
is not yet settled, and the cabinet meets to-day
to discuss il for the first time. Baron Beischer-
oder of Berlin and Seligman Of New York are
competing with the probabilities that the latter
is being favored. The railway will receive cash
in settlement of the subsidies arrangements.

Result of the Marshall Decision.


Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, May 23.-The recent decision
in the injunction case of the city of Marshall
against the Texas and Pacific railway company,
wherein it was held that the word permanent
did not mean forever in contract between
the city and the company relative to the estab-
fishing and maintaining of shops and head
quarters by the latter in the former is likely to
bear fruit before long in the removal by other
companies of either their general offices or shops
to places more convenient and better adapted
for the doing of work and the transa ction of
business than on the present locations.
For instance, it is well known among those
posted in railroad matters that the Cotton
Belt' people at outs with the people Of
Tyler. where the shops of the road are located,
and it would not take much to induce the road
to pull up stakes and locate its shops in a more
friendly place. The Cotton Belt" people have
continually complained of the illiberal policy
pnsu stb by COMMIT the D people of Of Tyler
ton, and seem to think that the policy
pursued not only toward the Cotton Belt, but
toward the International and Great Northern
would justify those corporations in seeking
other locations for their shops. There is no
other city in Texas that has record for liberal
dealing with railroads equal to Fort Worth. Its
position as a railroad center and its present and
prospective relation to the Cotton Belt system
makes it the best place in Texas for the location
not only of the shops, but of the central Offices
western terminus of the main line is at Gates
vile, and your correspondent has it good
authority that no extension beyond that point
will be made in the near future, for the reason
that whenever extension is made it will not
be toward the west, but toward the south and
toward deep water. The Cotton Belt wants to
go and will go to the gulf.
Fort Worth will be made and will remain 6
''main line'' terminus until such time as the
road will be carried further west. More than
this, if Fort Worth will get move on herself''
and hold out anything like liberal inducements
to the Cotton Belt'' people, there is more than
a possibility that she will be the Texas head
quarters for general offices and shops.
At any rate, the Marshall decision has left a
way open for Just such thing to occur as the
Of the shops from Tyler, and when they
leave there, If they ever do, if Fort Worth is
awake to her own interests she viii put forth the
effort necessary to secure them.

IT MIGHT BE.

There May be Some Few Headquarters
Moved NOrthward.
The closing of the deal by which the Santa Fe
company comes into possession of the st. Louis
and San Francisco road, coupled with the de-
cision rendered in the case between
the Texas & Pacific and the city OF Marshall,
Tex, with regard to the right of the road
to remove its headquarters may have great sig
nifcance 10 Fort Worth. By the transfer the
Santa Fe secures control of 400 miles of road
more than formerly. 1t is the general impress
sion that the branch of the Frisco running to
SApulpa will be extended to Oklahoma City or
Purcell, and the through train to st. Louis from
Fort Worth will go via this new route, while
that from Galveston will continue via
Paris. 1t does look reasonable that
the headquarters of the road, par
ticularly OF the passenger department, would be
located at central point from which the inter
ests OF all divisions could be best subserved.
These things are given force from certain talk
that may be heard on the dead quiet. Whenever
u shuttle is made in Texas no apprehension need
be felt that Fort Worth will get lost in it.
