District Court Thomas Burney, 80 years OF
age, was arraigned on a charge OF assault
with intent to ravish Mary A. Reilly, ~
years Of age, daughter of James Riley of
10i George street. He pleaded not guilty
and was held for examination Monday.
The story Is that Burney enticed the
little girl and younger sister In the
"Pines" between East avenue and Pleas
ant street and while In there acted In a
very indecent manner, according to the
girls story, but did not succeed In ac-
complishing his purpose.

They managed to secure bail and the case
was continued one week.
Archie will have to look up Lottie.
"Brother" Harkins must have thought
last night that he had been appointed a
special officer, judging from the manner
In which he dragged a boy from his
"mission"to Trinity Square and delivered
him to officer Callahan. Yarkins looked
like wild man, being bare headed and as
excited as though murder had been COM
mitted.
An eye witness says the boy was stand
ing on the sidewalk when Harkins rushed
out and grabbed him throwing him down.
The lads clothes were as dusty as
though he had been rolled on the side
walk.
This morning the boy was discharged.

LON SDALE.

The mill at the old village, familiarity
known as No. mill, closed last night for
the remainder of the week on account Of
low water. The bleachery and dye house
were also closed, but they will resume
operations on Friday. The water In tho
mill pond and canal Is very low and the
management of the mill deemed the pres
ent most opportune time to mako some
very necessary repairs. 1t should be un-
derstood that the stoppage OF ork has no
connection whatever with the alleged
hard times. The Lonsdale Company is
not worrying much about the condition
of business.

neral service was read by Rev. James A.

DEATH Of Mr.. KEENE.
Gives Rise to Speculation
About His Finances.
HE COULD GET NO MONEY.


BOSTON, Aug i5-The peculiar circum-
stances attending the death Of William @.
g. Keens by drowning of the rocks at Ma
hant are still the absorbing topic Of gen.
eral public interest In Lynn, where for so
many years Mr.. Keene was an acknowl-
edged leader I'm business affairs Very
slowly the facts are coming to the surface.
He was not the kind of man to walk
into the water with his clothes on unless
laboring under severe mental pressure.
It is now known that Mr.. Keene has
been of late very heavy borrower. Said
q gentleman to a Journal reporter at
Lynn Yesterday: "Mr. Keene's notes have
for some little time been held at IL per
cent discount and he has found It very
difficult to get money"
There is recorded at Salem, says The
Journal. mortgage for 100000 upon the
new Dagyr block, which he has been
building on Willow street, the past year.
The mortgage is the Franklin Savings
bank OF Boston, the term of the mortgage
three years, and the rate of interest 8 per
oent. The mortgage is dated June Z, 1898.
Mr.. Keene began this building year ago
and the block Is
Well Along tn Completion.
IL was stated that Mr.. Keene had much
difficulty In getting this mortgage placed.
The building is one of the finest business
properties In Lynn, and in the heart of
the city's trade. Besides this block Mr..
Keene had made very extensive changes
and alterations In his elegant residence on
Ocean street.
There Is this story current In banking
circles In Lynn. 1t Il stated that Mr.. w.
q. 8. Keene. shortly before his death,
Negotiated Some Notes
in Boston and held the brokers' check for
an amount stated at &l0, ,0OO to 900. He
carried this check, IL is said, for week,
and meantime the broker came to Lynn
and sold them.
When Mr.. Keene went to get the cash
for his check he found that he could not
realize, for there were not funds sufficient
to meet II, and the statement goes on to
say that Mr. Keene objected to paying the
notes because they read "for value re-
ceived," and he had not received their
value. The transaction IL said to have
nettled Mr.. Keene not q little, quite as
much for the way he had been used as for
the loss.
Mystery Surrounds His Death.
A gentleman, who was familiar with
the circumstances, stated yesterday that
che man who brought Mr.. Keene from the
water detected an odor in his breath from
which he drew the conclusion that Mr..
Keene had taken some drug before going
into the sea. The mystery attending his
drowning naturally excites the curiosity
of the public and increases expectation.
That Mr.. Keene was very much per-
,turbed about something, that he should
hurry off to Boston, rush back again
within less than two hours, enter upon O
hot, dusty walk of four miles over road
without protection from the glare of the
blazing sun, when he had horses and car
riages in bis stable, simply for the sake of
a ramble by himself, goes without saying.
