A Valuable Relic.

The item in regard to an Oxford coun-
ty man who bought an old bean pot for
10 cents, which contained one of Haw-
thorne's books, that he afterwards sold
for 500, calls to mind the fact that a
young man in this city who is something
of Hawthorne devotee, has obtained
possession of an old Greek Bible that
Hawthorne used at college. He obtained
it from among the effects of an old Port
land estate, and paid Is cents for it.
There are no covers upon it, bnt just
over the first chapter is printed, rather
neatly, in ink, IN. Hathorn." That was
the manner in which he spelled his name
then. The book is from the first edition
Of Greek Bibles ever published in this
country. The publication was in Phila-
delphia in 1903 or 1904.

RAILROAD NOTES.
A Light Travel to the Worlds Fair So Far
Other Notes.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Maine Central directors was held at the
company's offices yesterday afternoon.
The routine business was transacted but
no matters of general interest came up.
The Worlds Fair travel from Portland
and Maine has SO far been very light.
Neither the Maine Central nor the Grand
Trunk ticket agents report large sales.
People are waiting for those who have
gone to return with report of prices,
places, etc.
Two new Pullman cars, the 'sMar-
seilles'' and Montreal" are now rum
hing on the Bar Harbor route. They are
of the latest design and most elegant
finish. The berth fronts are of vermilion
wood, while the rest of the interior finish
is mahogany. They are lighted by gas,
heated by steam, and supplied with
water from a reservoir under the car.
They are said to be the finest cars ever
built at the Pullman works.

The High School Building.

Mayor Baxter has returned from Mass
achusetts, where the subcommittee has
been to inspect school houses. They
found just what they wanted in the Rox-
bury High school building. This build
ing cost $500, 900 and is much more ele-,
gantly furnished than any building that
Portland is likely to have, but the mayor
and committee feel that building con-
tanning all the good features of this one
can be made from our old High school
without increasing the cost above $75,-
900.
Mayor Baxter was especially pleased
with the method of heating and ventila-
ton in use at Roxbury, and he saw Prof.
Woodbury. of Boston, the man who put
the system in, and he will make figures
on similar system for this new build
ing. The Mayor thinks the cost will not
exceed $4,000.
By means of powerful fan, some 16
feet in diameter, fresh air is forced
through heated ducts to every room in
the building, while another fan in the top
of the building draws the foul air from
the rooms by openings near the floor. 1t
is estimated that the air in every room is
fully changed every seven minutes.
Everything about the apparatus is auto
matte, when the mercury in room falls
below 70 registers open automatically,
letting the room heat by direct radiation,
and when the temperature goes up the
registers close. The building is uniform
ly heated throughout SO that the man in
the fire,room knows by the condition of
the mercury in his private Office just how
it stands in every room in the house.
One thing that strikes the Mayor as a
desirable thing found in the Roxbury
building is the drill hall, where the boys
all take part in military tactics. The
Mayor feels sure that a drill hall will be
one of the appurtenances of the new
building in Portland.

mrs. KEELAN'S DEATH.
Her Family Think Her Husband Mur-
dered Her,
But the Jury Could Not Find Any Direct
Evidence,


Yesterdays Boston Herald has a very
interesting story in regard to former
Portland official and his wife, from the
pen of its Portland correspondent. The
story in essential particulars is as fol-
lows: William J. Keelan was appointed
by Mayor Ingraham, during his admins
tration, as fireman at the City Building.
He had previously been employed at the
Electric Light Company works. While
fireman at City Building he was dis
charged for intoxication. Keelan then
went to Providence, R. l., where he was
employed by an electric light company.
When he left Portland it is said there
were several indictments for liquor sell
ing hanging over him, and that he de-
faulted his bonds. They amounted to
$4,000, and were signed by Mrs. James E.
Cady and Councilman F. E. Melaugh.
Keelan nine years ago, married Miss
Katie Earlls, daughter of Stephen and
Sarah Earlls, who live at No. 81 Vine
street in this city. After he left town
and went to Providence, his wife and
three children joined him. The sister of
Mrs. Keelan, Miss Matte Earlls, says ten
days ago she and Mrs. Keelan's mother
went to Providence having received
telegram that Mrs. Keelan was danger
ously i'll. When they arrived, Mrs. Kee-
Ian was said to be i'll with pneumonia,
but Miss Earlls says before the poor
woman died she confessed that her hus-
band had abused her, and one night he
rushed into the yard where his little boy
was playing ball, seized the bat and
struck her two heavy blows on the
breast The sister says DR.. O'Keefe,
who attended Mrs. Keelan thought the
Inflammation Of the lungs had been
brought on by a heavy blow in the chest,
and that Mrs. Keelan then told him this
story. A gentleman who arrived with
Miss Earlls and the body of Mrs. Keelan
from Providence, says that Keelan was
arrested on charge of murder in that
city, but there was no direct evidence,
and he was discharged. He then went
to New York, and it is reported got a
job as fireman on a steamship.
The Providence undertakers certifi-
cate gives pneumonia as the cause of
Mrs. Keelan's death. Her funeral took
place Tuesday in this city. She was
buried at Calvary.

Ex-cLERk RUSSELL RETURNS.
He Says He Didn't Leave Town to Evade
the Harper Trial.

Ex-Clerk John S. Russell, who is one
OF the prominent witnesses in the Harper
case, arrived home on the midnight Pull
man Tuesday,
Last evening a representative of the
PRESS called on Mr.. Russell at his resi-
dence to ascertain, if possible, the true
story of his absence. Both Mr.. and Mrs..
Russell were at home and gave their
statements without any hesitation.
Mr.. Russell says he left Portland May
18th, while the grand jury was in session,
supposing of course he would be notified
ample time before the trial took place.
From the nature of his business it was
impossible to tell where he would be
from day to day, and his family were de-
pendent onIhis letters. His wife remained
at home for quite while after Mr.. Rus
sell left here. 1t had been her intention
to join him when he had finished his bust
ness, and they then proposed going fur
ther South. No intimation had been made
to her that he would be wanted; and a
gentleman told Mrs. Russell the case
would probably not come on this term.
In fact, Mrs. Russell said no summons
was left for him until twenty-four hours
before the trial, whereas if it had been
known that he would be wanted on Mon
day last, and the summons had been sent
several days in advance, it could have
been forwarded to him to some place
which he expected to visit, and he
would have got it in time to return and
be present at the trial.
When the clippings from the papers
stating that the trial had been called for
Monday-were forwarded to him at
Washington, where he happened to be at
the time with Mrs. Russell, they stopped
their tour at once and returned home as
quickly as possible, hoping to arrive in
time for the trial, but were too late. Mr..
Russell said the intimation that he was
running away to avoid the trial was alb
surd.

BRIEF JoTTlNes.

There were two arrests for drunken
ness yesterday.
Yesterday was another beautiful day,
with a cool north wind.
Schooner Bessie brought 5000 live lob
sters, Eta B. Rich 5000 and the steamer
Adeline 5000 yesterday.
There was coat stolen from st, Lukes
cathedral the other day and yesterday
the coat was recovered and man named
Martin Foley arrested, charged with the
theft.
Capt. Haskell of the steamer Adeline
reports that an unknown lumber laden
schooner of about ITO tons is ashore at
Georgetown, near the mouth of Little
River. The sea is heavy, and it is
thought the schooner will go to pieces.
The hands of Mr.. John F. Long, for
merly of Great Chebeague Island. en-
gineer of steamer Ida NJ. Dolby, Boston,
Mass, were shockingly burned Saturday
when he attempted to shut off steam.
The cost of the joint sewer to be built
at Deering Point has been apportioned.
Portland will pay $140O, Deering $500,
the Portland railroad 500, and George
P. Wescott, Esq, and w. II. Conant,
$500.
A little girl by the name of Wilson
slipped off the roof of the brick house
near the Globe laundry ON Temple street
and when taken up was found to be Sc
riously hurt.
Peter Bolvin, millman at Brackett' S
mill, lost two fingers Of the left hand and
parts of two other fingers, which were
caught in the machinery.
A train of loaded coal cars, at Thomp-
sons Point, ran down declivity Tues
day because the brakes didn't hold and
left the iron. A man named Harris was
buried in the coal but escaped with
bruises.
The rates vessels are now receiving for
carrying lumber to the River Platte are
said to be lower than ever before There
are four vessels loading in this city now.
Three of them will receive $3.50 a thou
sand and the other IS. Ten years ago
the price was $21 thousand. The 1um-
Der trade is picking up little since the
depression of two years ago.
A gentleman in Deering has been
amusing himself by feeding a toad with
angle-worms. There is something very
savage in the fierce .quickness with which
the toad seizes its victim. 1t then slowly
sucks it down its throat, holding both
paws in front of it's mouth and effectual-
ly scraping off the dirt from the body of
the worm.
Post Commander Williamson of Bos-
worth Post accidentally stepped into a
depression of the cellar floor in his store
yesterday and severely strained liga-
ment in the ankle.
