tue MACHIAs ASHORE.


Her Powerful Engines, However, Enabled
Her to Pull on.
CHATHAM, Mass, Oct. 2l.-The United
States gunboat Machias was ashore on
Chatham bars last'eveninR, but was for
tunate enough to get of again without
material injury. just at sunset the cruiser
was sighted coming under a full head Of
steam from the nortlwa and hugging
the shore In what appeared to be rather
dangerous proximity. The moon was
shining clearly and the movements Of the
gunboat could be clearly seen from tho
outlook.
Suddenly the gunboat was seen to come
to sudden stop, and 1t was then discov-
cred that she was aground close to the
dangerous breaker. Roaring Bull" No
communication took place between the
crew of the lifeboat and the Machias, and
therefore no full particulars of the real
cause Of tho accident could be assigned.
The beach at the point mentioned rams
out to long distance, and the cruiser
made the mistake Of running too closely
In shore.
The escape of the gunboat from her
dangerous predicanent was most lucky,
and there is little doubt she would have
pouI ied to pieces had she not been able to
draw of by the aid of her powerful en-.

She says About the McQuiiiana

NEW YORK, Oct 21.-A special from
Monticello, N. Y, says; Mrs. Lizzie Hol-
liday, accused Of the three strange MUIR
ders in the old Holiday house back upon
the Shawangunk mountain, yesterday
made her FIRST connected statement in re-
gard to the tragedy since her incarnation.
Sheriff Beecher was passing Mra HolL-
days cell, when she called to him.
"Where am II" she asked, as II she had
just been awakened from sleep.
"Your are In prison." tho sheriff rs.
piled.
'Tn prison" she exclaimed, looking
around her as II in great surprise. "What
am in prison forl"
"For numbering your husband" the
sheriff said.
The woman seemed stricken dumb for
ew seconds.
"My husband deadr' she finally gAsped.
"I never murdered my husband. He was
kind and good to me. ! did not do 1t.
Ncl No!''
She ran back and forth in the cell
wringing her hands, crying bitterly and
repeating:
~ did not do it! I did not do itl"
Then she sat down and began to think
hard. She seemed to be perfectly rational,
and Sheriff Beeoher thought 1t good time
to question her.
"who murdered Mrs. McQuillan and her
daughter, Mary Janer he asked.
"Mrs. McQuillan, Mrs McQuillan," - said
the accused murderess refiectively. "Oh,
yes, remember Mrs. McQuillan and her
daughter. Who murdered thems I do
not know. They came to my house with
friends-some men. ! think they brought
whisky with them. drank some of it,
but 1t made me sick and tired, and went
in the other room and went to bed. re-
member some one came into the bed dur
ing the night and woke me up. They tried
to make me get up, but would not do 1t,
and they beat me. It was one OF those
men. He pounded me for long time, till
/ was 50 sore that could hardly move
Then something was thrown over my face,
and don't remember what happened"
When Mrs. Holiday was told BY the
sheriff that she was accused Of numbering
the two women also, she thought 1t q joke
at first. She said she couldn't possibly
have murdered them and thon dragged
them to the barn whore they were found,
for 1t was uphill.
She began to get confused when thu
sheriff piled her with questions, and said
that she could not remember these things
very distinctly, and they seemed all like q
dream to her.
Sheriff Beech was greatly impressed BY
her talk and actions, and is beginning to
think she is not shamming insanity, but
was in sort Of trance, from which she Is
emerging. He thinks there may be some
truth in her story about strange men CON-
ing to her house on the night the old man
was murdered.
1t is the general opinion, however, that
this is only another OF the womans ruses.

tho passengers on passing streetcar. The
trolley was detached by the conductor, and
with Il Paquett was rescued.
He told bis story to the police In 90
straightforward manner that they gave
1t the utmost crcdencc. Paquetts story
is that at about IL o'clock he was on his
way from Boston to Chelsea. The Chelsea
bridge was very dark, aud there was
nobody In sight. He was near the first
draw. when q tall, rough-looking man
sprung from the shadow and seized him
by the throat with strangling grasp.
Two others, smaller Ia stature but no
less rough In appearance, jumped to their
principals assistance, and while one OF
them pinioned his arms, the other went
through his pockets. In o wallet be had
$50 This they took. and then lifting him
clear from the ground attempted to throw
him over the bridges railing. He strug-

uppermost rail clung TO IL.
For . few minutes they were unable to
loosen his grip and he was able to cry out
several times Then one of them again
seized him by the throat, effectually pre-.
venting further outcries. Finally, for all
his struggles, they threw him overheard.
He was bruised and almost stunned, but
the cold water revived him. and as he
came to the surface he saw that an electric
car was approaching. He managed to
make himself heard by the passengers and
conductor, and by them was he rescued.
Paquett is 50 years old. He formerly
worked In Chelsea In a sewing machine
salesroom OH Broadway. Some time ago
he went to Providence, where he has since
lived. Yesterday he came to Boston on
business, ant was on the way to his for
mer lodgings In Chelsea when he was as
saulted and so nearly lost his life.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-The president
sent to the senate a message transmi tting
the report of the secretary Of state in
reply to the Dolph resolution of inquiry
concerning the attitude of China with
regard to the extension Of time for the re-

says:
While the government was not formally re-
quested that the time for registration pro-
vided in the Geary law be extended, and no
formal assurance has been given that IL
extended Chinese laborers In the United
States will take out certificates, as provided
by the act. the Chinese minister has repeat

on the advice of eminent counsel and in good
faith, refrained from registering within the
time allowed. aud that 1t would be unjust to
deny them another opportunity to register.
The minister more than once has given assur-
ance that ON additional opportunity to regis

Letter Written by Bertha Marks, the Child
Suicide, at Albany.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, Ind. March 14.-The suicide OF
Bertha Marks, the tw~elve-year-old Albany
girl. in that town last week. Is attracting
great attention because of the age Of the
girl. To-day Coroner Bowers and your
correspondent went to AIiany and in
yestigated the case. 1t proved to be
one of the saddest stories that ever came
under the observation of the coroner.
The girrs letter showed that her death was
the result of threats often made by the
parents that they would send her to tho
State reformatory If she did not attend
school more regularly. The child pur-
chased the poison at Jones & Prices drug
store. using clever strategy TO get it. Be-
fore buying 1t she purchased some candy
and laughed as she asked for the poison,
laying her mamma wanted IL to kill rats.
She showed no signs of suffering when the
doctors were working with her. which
made it impossib BILE for them to diagnose
her case until she confessed TO DR.. Murray
on Friday evening. She wrote the follow
ing pathetic letter. which she concealed In
her bed clothes. 1t was not oun until
the day OF her death:
To Mamma. Para and Brothers:
You know what I did it for. and L want to be-
buried In my red dress. L took Trough on Rats.
/ thought I would not give you a chance to send
me to the reform school. / have threatened to
kill myself and have. must close.
YOUR DAUGHTER.
Mamma, you can like the boys now; ] am out
OF the way. BERTHA.
In the last paragraph the misguided girl
betrayed q jealous feeling toward her
brothers.
