We made no more attempts to see the

TALK OF a MURDER.
1t Is In Connection With Strange Dis
appearance from a York Town.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., November 30
Thursday evening, November ID, 1889,
Charles, son OF VIM. Kimball, who re-
sides on Spruce Creek road, Kittery,
came to this city. He started home
quite early and proceeded as far as a
house some distance beyond the river,
where he remained and INDUCED in a
drunken carousaL Charles Kimball
W sabout is, years old, and has never
been seen since that night. No effort
was ever made by the York county ofic
ials to learn his fate The story told at
the. time by his companions was to the
effect that their supply OF liquor gave
out and Charles started to this city to
procure more. Daniel McIntire, collec-
tor at the Portsmouth and Kittery
bridge, remained up that night until a
late hour and states positively that
young KimbalL did not cross the bridge
again to this city. Today person init
mateIy acquainted with the parties,
stated there had been some develop
ments lately that would seem to Justify
laying the matter before the county Of
ficials for investigation. The party said
he believed Charles Kimball was muir
dered.

FOUND BURGLARS IN POSSESSION.
Post Office at Bethel Entered, but the
Thieves Got Little.
[specialto the Press.l

BETHEL, Me-, November 2s.-At 5
o'clock this morning, as George Pl listed
who carries the mail to the train, opened
the post office, he heard noise inside,
and then caught a glimpse of two men
in the post office, who jumped out of the
window and ran away. They smashed
the glass out. One of them ran down
Church street, and the other went across
to Mason street. Mr.. Plaisted at once
notified Sheriff Wormell. Mr.. Bean, the
postmaster, said he didn't believe they
took much. They pried open the money
drawer and took q wallet containing a
small amount. They tossed over a pile
of gloves, but as far as Mr.. Bean knows
they didn't take any. The burglars also
tried to break into Hastings Bros hard
ware store, but the. watchdog frightened
them away.
by Sheriff WormelI just as the 1856 train
came down.. They gave their names as
James Ford Of Charlottetown, P. E. l.,
and Elijah Diamond and Alexander Nc
Innis Of Rustico, P. 3. I. They had just
purchased tickets for Minneapolis, MINI.
Mr.. Plaisted thinks he can identify one
of them as one of theI men he saw in
the post Office.

REPUBLICANS WIDE AWAKE.
Enthusiastic Gathering at the Meeting of
the state Committec-Permane Secre-
tary To Be Employed.

AUGUSTA, November 29.-There was a
large and enthusiastic, gathering of
Republican leaders at the meeting of the
state committee at the Augusta House
this evening. The business of the meet
ing was wholly confnedto the consider
alton of party affairs and discussion of
plans for the future. Ringing speeches
were made by Chairman Manley, Senator
Frye, Congressman Reed, Boutelle, Gov.
Burleigh. J. M. Haynes, Herbert M.
Heath, Gen. Chas. Hamlin, A. NJ. Spear,
A. r. Savage, Geo. c. Wing, Llewellyn

ploy a permanent secretary and fully
maintain. and perfect. the party organ
ization.

HE SAW THE SHOOTING.
Witness Cam Gives Damaging Evidence
Against Actor Curtis.

SAN Francisco, November 29.-In the
case of M. B. Curtis today, John B. Cam
of Humboldt county, testified. He said
he was in San Francisco on the;night of
September II, 1891, on his way from Eu-
reka to Humboldt county. He walked
about the streets and his attention was
attracted to two men engaged in scuff1e
on. the sidewalk. The shorter of the
tw men shot the other, who fell. The
murderer than ran away. The witness
went to his hotel and went to bed. The
next day he left the city. Cam stated
the two men were on the same side of
the street as himself when he saw the
shooting, but he then crossed over to the
opposite side. After the shooting the
witness remained where he was until a
man was brought back by two other
men. He thought the man brought
back was the same who had run away.
When asked why he did not sooner give
information regarding what he had seen,
he replied: because l had very little
money, and had wife and child with
me at the hotel 1t was necessary for
me to get somewhere where could
make living"
When cross-examined, Cam stated
that he served in the army during the
war, entering as a private and winning
lieutenant's commission. The witness
stated he would not know the face of the
man who did the shooting, as he did not
see it distinctly. Cann's testimony con-
tradicts the theory of the defence that
Policeman Grant was shot by third
man who escaped, while Curtis, whom
Grant had previously arrested, was
caught.

DR.. SCOTT DEAD.
The Executive Mansion Again Becomes a
House of Mourning.

WASHINGTON, November 29.-Rev. DR..
John Witherspooa Scott, President Har-
rison's father-in-law, died at 40 this
afternoon. The aged invalid passed
away peacefully. He had been uncon-
scious for hours. Stimulants were ad
ministered hypodermically, but only
served to defer the inevitable. The
President and his family are very much
prostrated at their bereavement. The
White House was closed to visitors to-
day and the usual semi-weekly cabinet
meeting was omitted.
DIR. Scott was born in Beaver county,
Pennsylvania, June %, 1900. He was
the son of George McElroy Scott, who
went from Bucks county to Beaver
county to take charge of a Presbyterian
church. DR.. Scott graduated from the
college at Washington, Pa, and sub
sequently took a post graduate course at
Yale. Afterwards he accepted profes-
sorship in the college from which he
graduated, which position he held two
years. About this time he married
Mary Neal. Going West, he accepted a
professorship in Miami University at
Miami, Ohio, 1926. While there three
children were born to him: Elizabeth,
afterwards Mrs. Lord; Caroline, after
wards Mrs. Harrison, and John Neal
Scott A number of years later DR..
Scott founded the Oxford, Ohio, Female
College, and in 1850 became its president.
AS he advanced in years, DIR. Scott
gave up college work and, coming to
Washington, was appointed to a clerk
ship in the interior department, which
position he held until the advent in

AMERICA TOO POWERFUL
For Her Inserosea 10 Be Ignored in the

For Her 1aeDaU@eo EO Be Ignored IN the
Old World.
LONDON. November 29-Referring to
the proceedings of the Monetary Con-
ference, the Daily News says: ''Alfred
de Rothschild's plan, which seems to
have saved the conference from collaps-
ing, turns out to be palliative and in
no wise heroic. Theoretically it would
be best to let silver alone; but when we
find Rothschild trying, tooth and nail,
to prevent the collapse of the conference,
it may be supposed that such result
would be disastrous. We cannot sup
pose it to be remotely suggested that five
pound notes be made redeemable in sill
yer. The most striking part of the plan
is the implied belief of a first rank finan-
cier, that unless something is done
America will discontinue the purchase
of silver. America is perhaps the rich
est country in the world and cannot be
ignored. Were she to sell silver we
might be compelled to close the Indian
mints. Even then we might be terribly
hampered if America raise a big gold
loan. It is not Europe's interest to pre-
cipitate currency crisis in America.
The disturbance of trade would amount
t, catastrophe"

The Presidents Message.

WASHINGTON, November 29.-Owing
to his present aff1iction the President
will be unable ito complete his annual
message to Congress in time for submiss-
ion to that body on the opening day of
the session.
The President will probably send a
brief message to Congress Monday next,
explaining why the regular message is
DELAYED. 1t is learned on good author
ity that the annual message will be about
the same length as that OF last year and
will include complete review of the
work of the ipresent administration. 1t
will contain about IL, 900 words.

A PERMANENT, CENSUS BUREAU.
Superintendent Porter Recommends One
The Progress of His Work.

The Progress of His Work.
WASHINGTON, November 29.-Census
Superintendent Porter, in his annual re-
port to the Secretary of the Interior
strongly urges that the census office
shall be made permanent bureau OF the
interior department. In regard to the
cost of the work of taking the eleventh
census, Mr.. Porter says the total dis
bursements from the commencement of
operation up to June 80, 1892, amount to
$S, ,203, ,693. Of this $2,4S5.4 458 was paid
to enumerators of population. The So
cial statistics cost 81, ,267, 1868; statistics
of farms, homes and mortgages, 81, ,005,-
I'll; printing and stationery, $631, 1886.
In July, 1891, there were 2,350 clerks on
the pay rolls In June, 1892, the number
was reduced to 1914. The superintend-
ent is of the opinion, after making due
allowance for the increase of population,
of manufactures, of agriculture, of min
ing, and of the extension of railroads,
And omitting from the comparison the
cost of the Investigation of individual
indebtedness, the per capita cost of the
18th census, when completed, will not
greatly exceed the per capita cost of the
10th census. Of the thirteen volumes in
which the results of the 18th census will
be embodied there are now in the hands
of the printers eight quarto volumes.
1t is impossible to foretell the the date of
the actual completion of the whole
work.

Case of NIijares- Never
Made a Formal Charge.
WASHINGTON. November 29.-The an
nual report of Gen. Supt. Kimball of the
life saving service says the establishment
embraced at the close of the last fiscal
year 242 stations, 1S1 being on the At
lantic. The number of disasters to YES
sells within the scope of the service dur
lug the year was 507. The value of the
property involved was $S,352, ,395; the
value of the property saved, S7,174, ,475.
The number of persons imperilied was
1928; the number of persons lost, 27.
The number of shipwrecked persons
succored was TAT, and the number of
days succor afforded 1847 The number
of vessels totally lost was go. Minor
assistance was rendered to many vessels
and many vessels warned of danger by
signals.
The cost of the maint enance of the
service during the year was $1,009, 235.
Investigations held in each case of loss
of life show in no oinstance was there any
failure in duty on the part of the life
saving crews. Since the last rep ort, a
station has been put in operation at
Burnt island, near the mouth of st.
Georges river, Maine, and extensive re-
pairs and improvements made to Crum-
pie island station, Maine. The report
states that owing to the act increasing
the compensation of keepers and surf
men during employment at stations, men
of the very best qualification for the SER
vice are now obtainable, and an improved
esprit de corps throughout the service is
evident
