WArERv1LLp, April s. Laura A.
Ames, servant employed by Prof. Bat
tbs of Colby University, was tried in the
municipal court here today for theft.
The girl had been fully trusted by her
employers until recently. Then they
picions were aroused and, as the girl re-
fused to have her trunks examined, a
warrant was procured and Sheriff Hill
overhauled the contents Of the trunks,
one of which was found in Fairfield.
They contained most W wonderful assort-
ment of dresses, ribbons, laces, toys of
the children, cooking utensils and num-
Der of pieces of jewelry, among which
was Mrs. BATHS engagement ring. Upon
the discovery of these things, the girl sat
down upon the floor and laughed, her
behavior being so strange that she may
be- sent to Augusta for examination as to
her sanity. She was bound over to the

CRYING FRAUD AGAIN.
Louisiana Democratic Factions Renew
Their Strife.

New YORK, April 5.-The Democracy
of Louisiana is split again, and this time
worse than ever. The compromise, by
which it was sought to unite the two
Democratic factions, each of which had
a full state ticket in the field, headed by
McEnery and Foster respectively, pro-
vided for general Democratic primary
on March 22d. Anticipating trouble over
the count at this election, a special COM
mittee of seven was created to act like
the famous electoral commission of 1876.
It consisted of three men of each faction,
the seventh man being the Hon. John
Young, who was regarded as thorough
ly conservative and impartial. He had
favored Foster for governor, but had not
been an extreme partisan. He had been
the law partner of McEnery, and was
thought to be one of the few men in
Louisiana able to act neutrally and with
out prejudice in this case.
More than 10000 votes were polled a
larger number that the Democracy has
ever received in any election in Louisiana
except one. The first returns showed
good majority for McEnery, and the re-
suit was accepted by the Foster people.
Later returns reduced McEnery' s major
ity to i, ,72S Then the Foster people set
up the plea that some of the boxes in
New Orleans had been stuffed. Ever
since the election the committee has
been engaged in investigating the re-
turns. Several irregularities and frauds
were unearthed in the parish of Sabine
in favor of Foster, and in New Orleans
in favor Of McEnery. In Sabine the COM
mittee set the matter right by throwing
out the fraudulent votes, but when it
came to New Orleans the Foster people
insisted that the whole precinct where
fraud occurred should be thrown out.
For the last three days this question
has been argued before the committee.
When it reached vote it decided to
throw out the entire First precinct of the
Sixth ward, which gave McEnery $50
majority. As soon as the vote was an
nounced the three McEnery members Of
the committee, declaring that it was OBJ
viously intended to count McEnery out,
left the room, thus bringing the session
to a close, and starting a new split in the
party.

Nino Blown to Pieces.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 5.-A terrible
explosion occurred last night at the state
factory for the manufacture OF smoke
less powder, where, in some unknown
manner, five tons of gun cotton were ig-
nited. The shock of the explosion was
tremendous. The whole city was shaken
and houses swayed on their foundations
as though from the effect of an earth
quake. The building in which the gun
cotton had been stored was nowhere to
be seen. 1t had been blown into splin-
ters. Nine workmen were in the build
ing when the explosion occurred, and all
of them were blown to pieces. The
limbs of some were found 250 yards away
from the building. The adjoining facto-
ries were greatly damaged and five work
men in them were injured. Houses over
mile distant were made to oscillate by
the shock. There is no possible way of
ascertaining how the explosion occurred,
as every man in the gun cotton building
is dead. 1t is thought, however, that it
was due to carelessness.

& Maine Brakeman.
HE SHOT HER AND EASILY ES.
CAPPED In THE DARKNESS.

The Murder Committed on the Street in
Lawrence, Mass.-Eno is a Worthless
Fellow Who Had Deserted the Wife He
KilIed-Another Wife is Living In Con-
and Respectable.
LAWRENCE, Mass, April 5.-Peter
Emo, Boston & Maine brakeman, shot
and Instantly killed his industrious wife
on Common street near Broadway this
evening. One shot was fired and the
woman fell to the pavement and died
without murmur. The murderer es-
capped in the darkness. He is about 80
years of age. His wife is about the
same. The couple have son seven
years old. Emo has been living apart
from his wife for some time and has Of
ten threatened her life. He often left
home refusing altogether to contribute
to the support of wife or child. Mrs.
Emo conducted restaurant at 134 Broad
way. supporting herself and child. The
husband was jealous of his wife but
without cause. The reason he save for
refusing to support her was that she
kept company with other men. This
was untrue.
Emo last went away over six months
ago. Mrs. Emo discovered that her bus
band had another wife living in Plain
field, Conn.,, and then she refused to
have anything to do with him. He drank
and came round the house often. > He
bothered the boarders and threatened
his wife. She complained to the police
that o~
She Feared Violence.
Emo met her repeatedly by.
night on the street.
This evening Mrs. Emo was walking to
store when her husband stepped up.
He spoke quietly for a minute and then
fired the fatal shot. So quickly was it
done, and the street was so dark, that
deed and every facility for escape. The
police are searching for him. Mrs Emo
at one time conducted restaurant on
Essex street, but was forced to vacate
because the place was leased to furni-
ture firm. She refused to pay the rent
for August and her furniture was at
tached and sold. Her sister claimed the
furniture, sued the sheriff and recovered
$3.50. Emo demanded half, and it is be-
Geved that, meeting his wife tonight, he
demanded money. Being refused, he
fired the fatal shot.

circulars. Emo is between 5 feet inch
es and 5 feet S inches in height. His
weight is $50 pounds. He has square
shoulders; hazel eyes; complexion lit

good English. He was dressed in
black coat; pants which are too short
and thought to have dark stripe and
outside seams; blue and white cotton
shirt without necktie, and black stiff
hat. The police believe Emo will try to
reach Canada.
Emo is spoken of as worthless fellow,
while on every side are kind words for
his wife. Emo met his victim in Lowell,
where she was employed as waitress in
a restaurant. Both came to Lawrence
about year later and were here married.
Emo has been arrested several times for
non-support and for assault on his wife
and her sister. The police found to-

Among Last Evenings Speakers.
PROVIDENCE, R. L., April 5.-The most
reliable Republican claim, coming from
workers most conversant with the details
of affairs is that there will be no cleo
ton for the state ticket. The Democrats
will have slight plurality upon some of
their nominees but the legislature will
be solidly Republican in both branches.
The Democrats advance no claim beyond
saying they will elect the state ticket but
they appear very confident.
The Republicans held a very enthusias-
tic rally at Newport, tonight, preceded
by short street parade. The opera
house was crowded and an overflow
meeting was held in Odd Fellows hall.
The same gentlemen spoke in both
places. The speakers were ex-Speaker
