The Death Of Charles Wi.ham al Saco Still
Shrouded in Mystery.

SAco, June 2i.--Coroner Bradbury to-
dsy decided that no inquest is necessary in
the death of Charles Witham, whose body
was fonnl last night in lumber yard in
the rear of Furbers pump manufactory on

The coroner made this decision after an
examination of the body, but many people
who have learned something connected with

opinion that yigii investigation should be
made.
Mrs. Witbam when asked this morning

said that there is cut under the left eye.
The right eye is black and blue, as if
Witham had received n blow on the side of
the head.
She is convinced that her husband came
to his death by no fsir means.
The dead mans mother believes that foul
play had something to de with her sons
death.
She thinks be was assaulted and then
dragged to the place where he was found.
City Marshal Seavey says that the posi-
ii in which the body was found was a
strange one for man if he bad fallen.
Witham has had more or lees trouble
since he came to Saco, and there are half a
dozen, it is said, who had grudge against
him.
Charles Witham was 43 years old. In
1877 he was convicted of breskng AMI en-
ie,ng, in the night. the house Of Mary
Marsh in Peabody, Mass, and committing
An assault upon her. For that crime he
was sentenced to life imprisonment in the
Massachusetts, state prison.
He was very orderly anil exemplary
prisoner and was pardoned on Thankssiv-
ing, 1855.

FIRE ALARM A FAILURE.


Finest Business Block in Rockland De-
stroyed by Fire.
RoCKLAND, Me-, June 25.-Willoughby
block on Nam street, one Of the finest
business buildings In the city, was visited
by fire early Saturday morning.
When discovered the flames were creep
ing up through the cellar stairway in the
basement Of Thorndike & Hix's store, and
had gained considerable headway.
The fire alarm proved failure as far
as the city bell was concerned, and the
strokes from the Freewill Baptist church
at the opposite end Of the city were barely
audible
Thorndike g. Hix, who occupy the entire
first floor, are the heaviest loosers. They
carry an insurance Of $500 on their stock.
The Offices on the second floor, including
that of Baldwin Brothers. are more or less
damaged
The loss on the block is in the neighbor-
hood Of 5000, J. S. Willoughby, owner.
having full insurance. A burning pipe
in some clothes hung in the cellar stairway
is probable cause OF the fire.

CONSULAR CHANGES.
Dessocrats to He Given All Places -
Soon - Possible.

Soon - POssible.
WASHINGTON. June 25-Secretrry Gres-
ham and Assistant Secretary Quincy arc
much amused at the stories which are
being circulated respecting their official
relations. growing out of the methods
adopted by the latter in the appointments
90 the consular service. Soon after the
appointment Of Assistant Secretary
Quincy, n thorough understanding was
had between the president and secretary
In reference to the division Of the duties Of
the department OF state.
1t was then decided that Assistant SEQ
retary Quincy should have immediate
charge Of the consular appointments, and
that the secretary, thus relieved. would be
able to devote his official time to interna-
honal affairs. For many years the secro-
tary Of state has been running the diplo-
matte and consular appointments as part
of the political machine. Secretary Gres-
ham determined to pursue different pol
icy, and 20 back to the original m ethods
1t is denied that the numerous appoint
ments which are being made In the con-
sular service are on account Of political
pressure. 1t Is now claimed that they are
part Of the present policy Of the depart
ministration but Is dismissals were made
in the first four months. Durink this same
period under this administration 20 dis
missals have been made.
In explanation Of this it Il said that as
long as politics are to have any control in
making these appointments the admins
tration is determined not only to put its
own friends in, but to do SO as quickly as
IL. i'm ,rda 20 tho lx,r, liz
ing effect Of keeping those who remain In
unnecessary suspense. 1t is the purpose OF
the president and secretary Of state to
make a thorough change in the entire per
sonnel OF this service.
The department would prefer to have
congress eliminate politics from the con-
sular service. Says Assistant Quincy,
We must take things rs we find them.
As politics seem to be the dominating
principle Of consular as well as other ap-
pointments, the department will adhere
to that rule. When congress adopts q
better system we will carry that out"
