The Girl Is in Boston, Where an Investi-
CATION Will Be Made.
BosroN, July 1s.-Mollie Going, the
15-year-old colored girl, from the State
Industrial School at Lancaster, accused
of an attempt to poison the family of
her employer, Captain B. E. Reed, of
West Dresden, Me-, by puttingz paris
green in the coffee, is in Boston awaiting
the superintendent of the school, who is
to take her back to the institution pend
ing an investigation of the facts in the
case. The girl came to Boston on the
steamer Sagadahoc from Richmond last
night, in company with Frank Ell. Wheel
er of this city, friend of the family, in
whose charge she will remain until
transferred to the school. On board the
boat the story of the attempted poison
ing was pretty well circulated among the
passengers and officers, but the girl
stoutlv maintained her innocence. To
I the stewardess she said she did not pre-
pare the coffee at all On the morning of
the reported poisoning, but Mrs. Reed
herself made it. Her attention, she said
was called to a green substance in the
coffee pot before breakfast was served,
but she neither knew what it was nor
put it there. She said her mistress,
Mrs. Reed, was very kind and good to
her, but the captain was very giuff and
cross with her, and frequently made
cruel remarks about her color. Mr.
Wheeler. it was stated by an officer of
the boat, said the girl was getting off
very easily. No arrest would be made.
When the trustees of the school have
sifted the matter thoroughly, the girl
will either be retained at the school, OF,
in the event of her guilt being proved,
may be sent to reformatory institution.

WEDNESDAY MORNING. JULY 49, 1898
CAPTAIN DERRlLL BUNCoED.
But He Got Even by Knocking ID own the
Bunco Steerer, Getting His Money Back
Bars.

BosToN, Mass, july 1s.-Capt. Charles
0. Derrill of Biddeford. Me-, had hardly
started out of the Market National Bank
at 80 State street this forenoon, when he
was accosted by a middle-aged man of
fairly good appearance, who at once en-
tered upon conversation with him. One
of his first queries WAS to ask the captain
where he hailed from and finding that
it was from Biddeford, told him that the
postmaster at that place was an intimate
friend of his, and that on the return OF
Capt. Derrill he would be greatly obliged
if he would take back some presents,
which he would give him, to the post
master. Willing to oblige, the Maine
man said that he would gladly do so.
The pair then proceeded down State
street until they were near Merchants
Row. The Captains new friend (?) then
stepped into a doorway and continued
the conversation. Suddenly he re-
marked to the Captain, ''Oh, say, can
you change $500 bill?'
Captain Derrill could not, but re-
marked that he had $500 or $400, and at
the same time drew the roll from his
pocket.
Seeing the money, the stranger re-
marked that that would do just as well,
and asked Derrill to let him have some
money for few minutes. Derrill
counted out S238 and handed it to him.
They then crossed to the other side OF
the street, and then canfidance man
asked the captain to wait moment
while he went up stairs and 'fxed mat
matters all right.
Derrill soon repented of his action and
began hunting for his man. He retraced
his steps and ran directly into the conf
dence man, who tried to run away
Derrill struck the man, telling him to
the ground. Derrill then jumped ,on
him and held him pinned until PATROL
man Curtis of Division 2 placed the man
under arrest. The money was recovered
in his possession. :
Inspector Cogan at once recognized
him as being George H. Appleby, alias
George H. Curtis, well known conf
dence man.

THE ASIAFIC WAR CLOUD.
England Says That Siam AIust Not
Lose Its independence
AND FRANCE WILL FIGHT UNLESS
PREPARATION is MADE.

The Matter Discussed in the British
Deputies-The French Government
Sustained by an Unanimous Vote-The
siamese Trying to Keep Off French
Vessels.
LONDON, July 1s.--The Earle of Rose
berry, secretary of state for foreign affairs,
replying to question asked by Lord
Lamington in the House of Lords yes
terday, said that the government was
not in full possession of the facts regard
ing the dispute between France and
Siam, but that Great Britain was fully
alive to the responsibility attaching to
her, and would not lose any opportuni-
ties for obtaining satisfactory solution
of the matters at issue.
In the House of Commons, Sir Edward
Grey, parliamentary secretary of the
foreign office, made extended reference
to the announced intention of Mr.. Cur
zon to move the adjournment of the
House in order to discuss the situation
in Siam. Sir Edward appealed to the
House not to discuss the matter until
further information should have been
received. He promised that everything
possible would be done by Great Britain
to arrive at pacific solution of the ques-
ton involved. 1t was Imperative, he
added, to keep distinct from the main
issues certain allied questions, especially
the question of Siamese independence.
This statement evoked cheers.
Continuing Sir Edward said that all
questions required the closest and most
careful consideration. The government
was fully alive to the need of securing
the safety of British interests in Siam,
and if more war ships were required at
Bangkok or elsewhere in Siamese waters
they would be promptly dispatched.
Sir Edward further said that France
had informed the British government
that the French gunboats had assembled
the Menam river without instructions to
do SO, but had added that the COM
manders of the war ships had been pro-
voked to this action by the Siamese. He
concluded by stating that he was able to
assure the House that the government
had every hope that the affair would be
settled in a peaceful and satisfactory
manner.
When Sir Edward finished, Mr.. Cur
zon said that in view of the. statement
made by the representative of the govern
ment he would abandon his intention to
move that the House adjourn. 60

PARIS, July Ism. Dreyfus today
questioned the government in the Cham
ber of Deputies as to the French oper-
ations in Siam. M. Derelle. minister of

French inspector of native militia, by a
Siamese mandarin, and other acts for
which Franch demanded satisfaction,

unanimous vote, adopted the. order of

PARIS, July 1s.-A dispatch from
Saigon to the Temps says: "The Siam
ese have long been massing troops on
both sides of the Mekong river, in order
to stop the passage of French gunboats.
They were especially energetic in build

disposition to attempt fresh blockade
of the French on the island of Khong.
With view towards preventing this,
Capt. Viller on July 14th took Dontane-

route the natives and captured SO pri-
soners. Considerable military opera
ations continue to be necessary as
basis from which the work of preserving
free passage for the gunboats and small
