A Suicides Skeleton.

Last Saturday Mr.. Taylor and Mr..
Cook of Willow City were cutting tim.
ber upon section 8, township 1862, range
70, when they were startled by seeing a
mans hip bones sticking out of the
snow. They at once Investigated and
discovered skeleton and along side of
same was an cid musket. They returned
to Willow City and notified the Botti-
nsau county coroner, who came Zip on
Monday with three assistants. They ut
once made search and discovered that
the skeleton had been fearfully racked
by wild beasts scattering the bones.
The coat, vest and shirt were found to-
gether, while leg bone and foot was
discovered a few rods off in pants
leg and shoe. The skull was missing.
The clothing were burnt some but rec.
ognized by his partner as a wine colored
suit such as Bosick wore. The gun
was also recognized as the one he
bought from young Hawn. There is
no doubt but what the mysterysof the
whereabouts of Killian Besick, who
mysteriously disappeared from his farm
few miles north Of Willow City on the
25th day of last June, has been cleared.
1t will also be remembered that he left
two letters in which he said that he was
tired of living and his friends would
not see him again.-Dunseith Herald.

PROMISES ToBE SPEEDY.
The Handsome Frank Jones Launched at
Bath Saturday.
ISpecialito the Press

BATH, March 26.-The Frank Jones is
overheard at last. Amid the joyous
screaming of steam whistles and the .ex-
ultal llouts of a large assemblage of
people the mammoth craft glided from
the ways at 1905 Saturday forenoon, and
was soon swinging proudly at her moor
ings. 1t will be some months before she
is turned over to her owners, the Port
land, Mt. Desert and Machias Steamboat
Company But judging from the plans
which yet remain to be carried out, she
will be safe, commodious, handsome,
and above all, a speedy vessel, and one
that her owners may well be proud of.
The new steamer was christened by
breaking the traditional bottle of cham
pagne over her bow. This act was grace
fully performed by Miss Nettie M. Tobey.
This lady is a sister-in-law OF Captain w.
E. Dennison, the future commander of
the Jones. The crowd that attended the
launch was not as large as on previous
occasions of this kind, but it was every
whit as enthusiastic. The trains brought
a number of visitors from out of town.
Portland was represented by Payson
Tucker, F. E. Boothby, Paymaster Shaw,
Treasurer York, Train Dispatcher Hall
of the Maine Central, also General Bag
gage Master Towle, Captain W. E. Den
nison of the City of Richmond, Colonel
F. N. Dow, George Loring of Loring,
Short & Harmon, and many others. SUI
perintendent Arthur Brown of the Ban
gor & Piscataquis, and Inspector G.. A.
Pollister were present, also Agent Law
renee of the Portland, Mt. Desert & Ma
chias Steamboat Company.

TRouBLEFoR MAYOR JONES
Indignant Watervi1le Citizens Reading the
Charter to Him.
Especial to the Press.l

WATERv1LLE, March 27.-The Demo
cratic city fathers have gotten into the
liveliest kind of a row, and property
holders on Silver street are getting up a
protest big enough to contain the sigma
ture of every man they can induce to
sign it. Some time ago, the electric rail
road was given the right to extend its
line through the street. Now it is said
that instead of building the track in the
middle of the road the company propose
to run it by the sidewalk. This has add
ed fuel to the flame of indignation and
the house owners threaten that, if their
protest is not regarded, they will appeal
to the Supreme Court for an injunction,
one allegation being that Mayor Jones is
director in the street railway company
and that as the city charter forbids deal
ing with concerns in which members of
the government are interested, the deal
is illegal. The same point, it is said,
might be raised concerning the contract
for electric lighting.

PUBLIC BENEFITED.
New Hampshire Railroad Commissioners
on Boston s. Maine Affairs.

MANCHESTER, N. H., March 2e.-The
New Hampshire railroad commissioners
in their annual report say that no new
road or extension has been opened for
business, but the construction account of
the Concord 6 Montreal, Boston &
Maine and Maine Central is very large
one.
OF the new Boston & Maine stock,
which was offered to old stockholders at
par, each being entitled to take two new
shares for every seven shares of old, the
board says: These rights, seven of which
entitled the owner to secure, at S100
each, two shares of Boston & Maine
stock, were transferable, and many of
them changed hands in the stock mar
kets at an average of about SIG each.
During the year 1890, Boston & Maine
stock sold at an average price of about
$212 per share. Upon the offer of the
new stock the old dropped nearly $50 a
share, and has since sold at an average of
about $165, shrinkage of about $47.
The difference between this shrinkage
and the value of the rights, or about S31
per share, represents the loss to old
stockholders who have disposed of their
holdings since the offer of the new issue.
Thus far, at least, the public has receiv-
ed the only benefit from this new stock
issue.

PlcAYuNE POLICY.
Democrats Want to Make Our Foreign
Ministers Serve in Fractions.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Mr. Blount,
chairman of the House committee on
foreign affairs, has prepared for submis-
sion to the House an extensive report to
accompany the regular annual consular
and diplomatic appropriation bill. The
report says careful examination has
been made into the subject of our foreign
missions and the Importance of our dip
lomatic relations with the several coun-
tries of the world. The facilities for
transmission and interchange of thought
dispense with much need of foreign rep
resentation. They enable the home gov
ernment to communicate rapidly and
freely on all questions of difference with
foreign governments and give directions
in the most minute detail. So completely
does this practice obtain that we shall
scarcely find fame springing from the ac-
ton of our representatives at foreign
courts in the future as in the earlier days
of the republic. In addition to this, the
country has grown to such magnitude as
to enjoy regard from other nations which
guarantee her against foreign insolence
and outrage and causeless war. Much
might be safety done in reducing the
number of our ministers by the abolition,
or the union of several countries under
one mission. The committee is not en-
couraged to hope for the acceptance of
these views by the Senate or President,
and has deemed best, except in few
instances, to postpone the needed re-
forms at this point. Denmark, Sweden
and Norway, however, have been placed
under one mission, as have Colombiaand
Ecuador, and likewise Peru and Bolivia.
By the mistake of the printer it was an
nounced that Guatemala and Venezuela
had also been joined under one minister.
Separate missions will be maintained to
these two countries, and the salary fixed
at $4,000 each. The report says the COM
mittee gave careful attention to the con-
sular service and revised it according to
the business and Importance to the
United States at each place.

ALL PARIS ALARMED.
Building Almost Wrecked by the ExpIo-

PARIS, March 27.-At o'clock this
morning a dynamite explosion occurred
at 81 Rue Clichy, astructure of four stor-
les with shop in the basement. In the
house resided M. Rullouse, one of the
presiding council in recent anarchist
trial. A number Of half dressed women
and children escaped hurriedly by the
servants staircase. Seven persons were
seriously injured. Internal machines
had apparently been deposited at door
on the second floor which was occupied
by M. Bulot. The building was almost
wrecked. The explosion has caused the
most intense excitement and nobody
feels safe. Late tonight, the gendarmes
found an internal machine at the Ivey
barracks and quenched its burning fuse.

cidentally dropped match on barrel
of oil. Almost instantly, the lighter
was ablaze from stem to stern, and the
men aboard barely had time to escape
with their lives before the vessel was in
flames. Soon the blazing petroleum con-
verted the waters of the harbor into a
sea of fire. Vessels hastened from every
direction to leave the harbor, but six
were encircled by the flames and de-
stroyed. The man-of-war Lepante, with
the launch Caiman, burned. The loss is
enormous. No personal injury is re-
ported.

AS OTHER WESTERN TOWNS WERE
SCATTERED BY A CYCLONE.

Driving Snow, Darkness and Tangled
Wires Made Omaha Streets Impassa-
ble-The Cyclone is Reported from
Several States-It Unroofed Many
Buildings and Carried Some Off With
1t, but Seems To Have Caused Little
Loss to Life.
OMAHA, Neb., March 27.-At about Z
o'clock yesterday morning the rain,
which had been falling all night, turned
into. heavy snow. Toward noon the
temperature dropped several degrees, and
the wind drove the snow in stinging, hor-
izontal lines, which soon cleared the
streets of all except those who were
compelled to be out. All street car traf-
fic was early blockaded and the electric
lines stopped because of danger from
the numerous crosses with fallen tele-
phone and telegraph lines. The cable
line parted its rope when the storm was
at it's height. Ats o'clock, a cold, driz-
zling rain was falling, and the streets
were almost impossible. Floods of wa
ter and slush covered the crossings.
Half the telephone poles, with their
weight of hundreds of snow-laden wires,
were broken, and in some cases leaned
UP against the buildings. Broken wires
hung in loops to the sidewalks, or lay in
a tangled mass across the street, while
those overhead were in almost tsinextrica-
BILE confusion. Eighty wires leading to
the Western Union telegraph Office were
useless. Last night the city was in dark
ness, owing to the electric light currents
being turned off. The Western Union
Company did not have wire working
out of Omaha. All service to Omaha
was conducted by special messenger.
The railroads abandoned freight trains
that passenger traffic might not be in
terfered with. The really serious trou-
BILE was on the Iowa shore, as the wires
were almost completely Frustrated from
the river to the transfer. The storm ap-
pears to have been local, as no trouble
was experienced 25 miles away.
