the decrease has been 5J.919,s2I lbs,

shops the situation is nearly the same,
eastern shipments falling off about a
quarter.

HARD ON VESSEL OWNERS.
Four Jonesport Vessels Lost OF Long Over
due.

Jonesport, December 14.-This has
been an unfortunate year for vessel own
ers in this town. Four schooners in
which Jonesport parties were interested
have been lost or given up for lost. The
schooner John S. Case, which hailed
from Gonesport, is supposed to have
gone down with all on board as she
sailed for the West Indies, lumber laden,
and was in the track of the early fall
gales. She has never been heard from.
Her commander was Capt. James Will
son: mate, Newell Kelley. Other lost
schooners wrecked, haihng from Jones'
port were the A. R. King, the Rogers
and the Drisko. 1t is singular circum-
stance that the latter two vessels were
built about the same time by captains
for their sons, who commanded them,
and were eech wrecked the same year.
Capt. Drisko and his wife have returned
home after their hazardous experience
and rescue, and the captain contempIates
going to sea again.

HIS MOTHERS TESTIMONY.
She Tells of the Insane Delusions of Pat
rick Prendergast

Chicago, December 14.-In the Prem
dergast trial this afternoon, Mrs. Prem
dergast, mother of the prisoner. testi-
fed for the defence. She said her son,
Patrick Eugene, was born in Ireland in
1868. When he was two years old she
came to this country. His school life be-
gan when he was seven, and ended when
he was 16. About that time she saw a
marked change in his disposition. He
became recluse, devoting himself to
books and avoiding all forms of outdoor
diversion. On the subject of law and
upon the theories held by Henry George
he was ever ready to talk. After trying
several other occupations, 1.-THE prisoner
secured work as newspaper circulator.
Sometimes he lived at home, but was ir-
regular in his habits. From july last
until about two weeks before the murder
OF the mayor, he came home and slept
upon an old sofa in the basement, al
though he was welcome to sleep in the
room he formerly occupied up stairs.
During this period, the witness did not
often see her son. Once she talked with
him, and he told her it was his influence
that elected Mayor Harrison. and the
mayor was going to make him corpora
ton counsel as a reward for what he had
done. She said to him: "You are not
qualified to hold the place." and he re-
Piled: II know as much of law as the
man who has it or the mayor himself.''
She demonstrated with him, and he said:
II won't talk with you on the subiect.n
Later, he told his mother that when he
last called upon MI. Kraus, the attorney
introduced him to all the attaches of the
office. giving the impression that he was
to be the new chief. During the cross
examination of Mrs. Prendergast, the
state unwittingly brought out the fact
that when baby the prisoner was seri-
ously injured by falling distance of
four feet and striking on his head.
