MT. Monadnock Mineral spri ng Co.

The Mt. Monadnock Mineral Spring
and Land Company, who have been
erecting a large hotel since May at Cole
brook, N. H., stopped work, as is well
known, about July 1st, although it was
expected the house would be completed
and opened to the public July Goth. But
by July LIST subscribers failed to pay up
their subscriptions, it is said, and those
who had paid declined to be assessed
further. The workmen were paid, but
the concerns that supplied the material
were not paid. Attachments were worth
less, therefore useless. The bond to Mr..
Lombard for the land on which the hotel
is located, 140 acres. expired with only
$4,000 of the $1,000 paid, SO Mr.. Lombard
RECEIVERS his land. The supplies were
valued at about $4,000. Mr.. Libby of
Columbia Mills loses the most of this.
J. w. Burrowes, Portland, loses $500
and Deering, Marston & Co., $500. The
property of delinquent subscribers has
been trusted by the losers. 1t is report

State VS.. Augustin Fortine.
State VS.. Theophile Desjardine.
Yesterday morning these two cases were put
on trial together. The respondents are charged
with forging names of Brunswick parties to
proofs of death in order to defraud the Metro
politan Insurance Company of New York, on
policies of insurance issued by them On parties
in Brunswick. The respondents admitted sign
ing the papers, but denied that there was any
intent to defraud; they claimed that they did it
by direction of their employer who was acting
as an insurance agent for the company and that
they had no knowledge that the papers were to
be used to defraud the company. After por-
ton of the government testimony was in, the
defendants, BY leave of court withdrew their
pleas of not guilty and pleaded nolo contendere
which is equivalent to plea of guilty.
The chief operator in this conspiracy to rob
the company has fed the country; the govern
ment admits that these defendants were but
the tools.

NOT SURE TWAS ANARCHY.
THE PARIS EXPLOSION STILL DIS
cuSSED AS A MYSTERY.
That II Was Perpetrated BY Mad Social
lists Doubted in Many Quarters-An-
archists Seize the Chance to BIare
Blood and Butehery.

PARIS, Dec. 20.-The explosion yester-
day in the prefecture of police is still
discussed in the cafes and other places
of public resort. There is some doubt in
the public mind as to whether the out
rage was the work of anarchists Some
people, and not few, claim that the an
archists, though they take to themselves
the credit or discredit of having caused
the explosion, had nothing whatever to
do with the affair, declaring that the
outrage was due to personal spite on the
part of discharged employee.
Whatever the truth Of the matt er.
the anarchists have taken advantage Of
the occasion to issue manifesto couched
in the usually blatant and absurdly fero-
cious style of those documents. The
wrongs of the people, fire, blood and
dynamite are expatiated upon at length,
but the substance of the manifesto is
that the time has come for the people to
rise in their might and strike for free
dom. Striking for freedom in the anar-
chist style, however, is not apt to occur
just at present, as the police buildings
are closely guarded and out-of the-w way
recesses are carefully searched for hidden
dynamite or other explosive bombs.
The Eclair to-day publishes an inter
view with Louise Michel, the aged an
archist, who is now in London. She
declares that she did not know the au-
thors Of the explosion at the prefecture
but she thought it very good piece of
work. She regretted that higher officials
had not been present when the explosion
occurred, as they might have been killed.
Their deaths, she thought, would be a
blessing to the people. The Eclair adds
that it is the intention of Louise Michel
to 60 to Chicago shortly to spread the
anarchist propaganda.

Forty-four Contestants in the Worlds
Fair Spelling Bee Go Down on English

Forty five experts in spelling stood
before an audience that filed Institute
Hall, last night, to compete for prizes in
an old-fashioned spelling bee, under the
auspices and for the benefit of the
Women's DOrmitory Association of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition. The
spelling began shortly after So'clock with
Professor William A. Reynolds as peda-
gogue, and Mayor S. J. Wiley and Profess
sor Isaac johnson as referees. Professor
Reynolds used one speller and three rolls
Of difficult English words, some of which
had been saved by him for twenty five
years, they having been used in former
contests and proved puzzlers to many
good grammarians.
The contestants were: II. G. Saville,

While the audience seemed perfectly sat
ished with the bee. the defeated
contestants We're by no means
content with the management.
They admit that it was impossible for
all to win but claim that Professor Rey
nold's list was manifestly unfair. One
fair speller remarked at the close Of the
contest: 1T was extremely unjust.
While, on nearly every turn. Messrs.
Deakyne and Adair were spelling such
words as basin excellence, 'furore.
'vexations 'seullion' and score of
others, just as easy, the rest of us had
to struggle with Actian, 'idiosyncraeles,
'pusillanimity, aegis, aifreighter
'adagio, maestoso While we were
falling all around the winners on these
words, they were having Sunday School
picnic on disylables
The entertainment obtained from The

frequent liberal applause, A neat sum
was netted to the Woman's Dormitory

TO ATTEND MASS in STATE.

London's Catholic Lord Mayor to wor-

LONDON, Dec. 30.-Lord Mayor KniIl
is about to pay visit in full state to
Lord Mayor Meade, of Dublin On Sun
day both the officials will go in procession
to the Roman Catholic cathedral where
they win attend mass.
Lord Mayor Knill's religious belief has
been and still is thorn in the side of
certain Protestant bigots and this state
visit to the lord mayor of Dublin will
afford them fresh opportunity to attack
the church Of Rome, which they regard as
being engaged in the work of undermin-
ing British institutions. Other persons
who do not believe that mans religious
belief qualities or disqualifes him for
holding public Office, and it must be said
that such persons are in a great majority
here, look upon the visit as simply one Of
courtesy and respect.

The men do not belong to any labor
