Several Narrow Escapes
From Death.

AUGUSTA, November 15.-The city is In
darkness tonight. Owing to the low water
In the river, the electric light company has
shut down. All the lumbermen and old
citizens never knew the river so low before.
Twenty miles from the mouth Of the Ken
nebec the water Is usually drinkable and
Ice is cut at this distance, but now the
water Ia salt and unfit to use 35 miles up.
Great fears are held that the ice crop will
be seriously damaged. The mills are shut
ting down daily on account Of lack Of
water.
At 950p. M. fire broke out In the base
ment Of Hotel North and gained rapidly
until 1t was thought 1t would sweet the
entire block. The fremen fought hard
and at midnight had the control. The fire
first showed in the basement OF the annex
to the hotel. The rooms speedily filled
with smoke Mrs. McDavid, the cook, was
almost overpowered with the smoke and
tried to jump from third story window,
but was prevented by the fremen, who
rescued her with ladder. One woman
on the upper floor of the hotel was
taken out with difficulty. The grocery
store of s. 5. Williams & Sons was injured
by water about $500: insured. A. M.
Wight, on his large stock of jewelry. had
an insurance Of only $1,000. His loss, 1t

moned several witnesses to appear, but l
cannot state definitely how many"
Deputy Sheriff j. III. Mccoy was inter-

rive at Plymouth on the 5.15 p. M. train to-
morrow. Almy will be taken direct to the
court house, where he will stay while here
The court officials will arrive tomorrow,
and everything will then be completed for
trial.
Judge Allen. who, with Chief Justice
Doe, Is to sit In the case, says "Almy will
plead guilty on Tuesday, and the court is
to find the degree of crime that is mur-
der In the first, second or third degree"
This will make little or no change in the
trial so far as the time it will consume is
concerned, for the state will present its
case to the court as fully as 1t would have
done to a jury, unless Chief Justice Doe
concludes that he does not care to hear the
testimony, and at once sentences Abbott
to death upon his plea of guilty of murder

WASHINGTON, November 14.-The Com
missioner of Indian Affairs this afternoon
received telegram from Special Agent G.
W. Mexican at st. Pierre, S. D., confirming
the press dispatches of the revolt Of Bear
Eagle and his band and announcing that
they had gone to Pine Ridge. In letter to
the Indian Office, dated November 11tb, the
special agent says he visited the Cheyenne
river agency. but there were no indications
of trouble'among the Indians there, except
that Bear Eagle and his followers had
broken away, sold all their cattle, aband
oned their camp and gone to Pine Ridge In
In body. He could not account for the
outbreak. The agent thought 1t had taken
place because he had demanded that their
children must go to school. He says there
are rumors in Cheyenne river that the Pine
Ridge Indians are preparing to renew. re-
sistance. The kilograms and letters have
been referred by the Secretary OF the Inte-
rior to the Secretary of War for action.

graphed Acting Agent Penney of Pine
Ridge agency to investigate and report the
origin of the trouble and take prompt ac-
tion to prevent its recurrence.

here asked Mr.. Edison as to the phono-
graph, and he told me that large number
of them were In use and that he believed
they would be eventually used everywhere
he took me out into his laboratory and
showed me his last invention in connection
with the phonograph, which he calls by
the name Of the kinetograph, and which is
almost as wonderful as the phon0graph
itself. With the phonograph you can take
a song of PATHS from the lips OF 1.-THE diva
and can reproduce it before an audience In
all its intensity and beauty ayear later and
1000 miles away. BY the kinetograph with
the aid of stereopticon, you can throw
upon screen picture of Patti just as she
looked and ac.ed at the time she was sing
ing the song, and one of the great exhibit
tions of the future will be the reproduction
of great speeches and songs In this way.
