ABOUT PEIxOTo's RESIGNATION.
PARIS, Jan. 1O.-Matin says: The
news published in Paris yesterday to
the effect that President Peixoto of
Brazil had resigned was founded on a
dispatch announcing this fact which
was received at the ministry of foreign
affairs. The Brazilian minister here
has declared that he did not believe
the report to be true, and Senior Quail
ahara, the Brazilian government dele
gate. is quoted as saying that there
was nothing in the latest dispatches
which he had received which would
furnish ground for the belief that the
report was true. Conservative papers
here consider the report to be true and
express satisfaction with the presi-
dents alleged resignation.

CORBETT. MITCHELL FIGHT.
How the Manifesto Of the Duval Athletic
Club is Received.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 10.-The state
ment sent by the Duval Athletic club
last night has created d greater
amount of excitement than anything
chat has occurred since the battle was
first talked of. Business men and
sports and street arabs stand on street
corners aud discuss the momentous
question as to whether the fiery Ian
guage of the announcement will call
down the governors wrath or not
The Duval people are resting at pres
emit. Work on the arena will 20
on, tickets will be sold and
things will proceed as though
nothing had happened Opponents
of the fight have nothing to say today.
They claim that the clubs action in
sending out the statement was the
worst possible move it could have
made but they do not give any reasons
for saying so. There are u few conser.
vative people who. although in sym
pathy with the fight, at the same time
desire some respect showed to the gov
ernor, This class is so small however,
that they do not cut much figure in
the excitement and the popular favor
with which the manifesto has been re-
ceiyed

Bask Cashier Suicides,

NoRwALK, o., Jan. 10. - d. A.
Baker, cashier of the First National
bank of this place, committed suicide
this morning. He shot himself through
the right temple and heart. He has
been connected with the bank for %
years. The cause of his act is sup
posed to be the result of brooding
over the supposition that he would
sever his connection with the bank
under the recent reorganization. Hiy
accounts are said to be perfectls

1lllnols Negroes See the Burning Body Of
the Rapist Miller.
SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 10.-Twelve va
cant houses in a certain neighborhood
on North Second street are the result
of negro superstition and sequel to
sensational story published extern
sively in the newspapers last summer.
Seay s. Miller, a colored man, with
his wife, came here from Cairo and
later in the year, he was hanged and
burned at Bardsville, Ky, for having
assaulted and murdered two girls. The
affair created much excitement among
the colored people OF the North,
strong protests being made
that the wrong man had been
put to death. A few nights ago Mrs.
Morris, colored woman who lived
next door to where Miller lived, heard
a noise, and going TO the door saw
Ml!ler's body in a burning, seething,
writhing condition, which almost
frightened her to death. Two nights
later Mrs. Benson, another neighbor,
saw the form of Miller flaming and
tumbling through the air and darting
into the late Miller residence. On each
occasion the electric light on the
corner went out. The exodus has
been complete and every house in the
vicinity is offered at low rent, with no
takers.

OAkLAND'S SENSATION.
officers Fire at Suspected Burglars in the
Nighttime Arrests Made.

OAKLAND, May 29.-(Special. Oak
land is never far behind the times. Our
latest sensation is the discovery of what
seems to be regularly organized gang of
thieves right here in cur own community.
Ever since the attempted bank robbery
Detective True and others have been watch
ing for another outbreak. A week ago w.
p. Hutchins' dry goods store was broken
into and number of articles taken.
Mr.. Hutchins, however, had the nerve to
keep it to himself and watch and as re-
suit the thieves are caught at last; but not
without danger. Main and Water streets
were the scene of some exciting encounters
Monday night. Several parties were watch
ing in different places down town.
One man got tired about 2 o'clock and
started for home. He saw man skulking
across the road and ordered him to halt
The order not being obeyed he shot at the
skulker who ran and escaped in the dark
ness. At almost the same time Constable
B. +. Robinson attempted to halt two un-
known men near Emerson & Stevens shops
on Water street. They ran, he chased them,
and several shots were exchanged, one 3s-
calibre bullet making a hole in Officer
RObinson's coat.
No one was caught that night, but Tues
day morning Alpheus Gross, Fred Bile
deaux and Alvinza Bickford were lodged in
the lookup on the charge of breaking and
entering.

k0REY'S CLAIMS SUSTAINED.
To Pay Back Trust Dividend and Share with
,Olhers on New Basis.

PORTLAND, May pa decision was
handed down from the law court, today, in
the well-known case of Milliken- Morey, or
otherwise known as the Dennison-Morey
case. This was law suit growing out of
the failure of the Dennison Paper Company
of Mechanic Falls, in 1887. The case has
been in litigation since then and has been
before the law court once before. The
present decision is as follows:
If the appellants, Edwin Morey & Co., shall
pay to the assignee of the Dennison Manu-
featuring Co., within so days, the sum of
S6576 GA, they may increase their proof of
debt in the insolvency court by the amount
of their preference, viz: S1l9355.44, so
that the same shall stand for future divi-
dends at the sum OF SAG, ,l70.6l, and the
exceptions to Judges Fosters decision are
Overruled, otherwise being sustained.
When the Dennison Manufacturing Com
pany failed in 1887, it owed over $lS9,000
to Edwin Morey & Co., paper dealers of
Boston. The assignees came to an agree
ment with Morey & Co., whereby the trust
ees would release all claims to the collat-
erals ldby Morey & Co., on condition
900. This agreement was approved by Judge
Savage of the insolvency court, and Morey
& Co. subsequently received dividend of
% per cent. with the other creditors.
Ia 1889 Charles r. Milliken CT Portland,
who had purchased the claims of certain
creditors, filed objections to this claim of
Morey & Co., on the ground that they had
taken fraudulent preference over the other
creditors. Objections were also filed by
George G. Wing, ct ais, and the judge of
insolvency in Androscoggin county disal-
lowed the Morey claim in whole. There
upon Morey & Co. appealed to the supreme
court, and before the law court the Morey
claim was sustained.
Milliken then brought new petition for
a disallowance of the Morey claim and this
was sustained in the insolvency court.
Then again the case was appealed to Judge
Enoch Foster. He reversed the decree of
the insolvency judge and directed that the
Morey claim be admitted. Milliken then
appealed to the law court and it is this ap-
peal which is decided above.
The decision allows for some additions
The money to be returned is dividend
money, in order to allow for a new distri-
button on new basis. Substantially the
decision sustains the Morey claim. Many
eminent lawyers have been engaged on the
case first and last. Judge Putnam, before
he went on the bench, was counsel for Mil
liken, then Seth NJ. Carter, Auburn, and
John A. Morrill,. For the Moreys, Sy-
monds, Snow and Cook, G. F. Libby, A. A.
Strout and A. r. Savage.

WArERvILLE, May 29.-(Special. 1t
was cold, wet day for ball playing, and
the crowd, when they went to the campus,
this afternoon, didntg 60 there expecting to
see anything great for game. They did
expect, however, that the ground was muddy
for both teams alike, that the rain fell on
both the just and the unjust and one side
stood an equal show with the other.
But they were shown that such was not
the case when Umpire Ricketts, commenced
to decide on balls and strikes. Ricketts,
never could umpire game of ball in fact
he never knew how. He tried it, last year,
IN the New England League, and the peo-
pie who saw the game, today, know, now,
why the management thought he was not q
success. 1t is possible that he knows q
horsehide from pigskin, but he cannot
tell whether ball is pitched over the plate
or more than bats length away from it.
Strikes were called on the boys this after
noon when the batter would have had to
reach, to brush the ball with 6-foot oar.
But what made the crowd kick the worst
was his sending Tufts men to bases on four
balls which "cut the plate" His base
decisions were bettsr, but still his judge
ment there seemed terribly in error in two
or three instances. On the whole the Bay
State boys have in him their best man if
they want to win ball games. Larrabee,
the other umpire, also gave one or two close
decisions against the home team.
In the ninth inning Coffin had finger
nail torn off and Sturtevant caught the
remainder of the game.
The following is the score:

Regular Army Officers Must Now Go Back 10
Their Regiments.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The wholesale
discharge of clerks, for which Secretary
Lamont has so long been preparing, took

or so more vacancies will be created by the

RUTLAND, VT, May 29.-John B. Moore
and John d. Spellman, special prosecutors
in this city under the prohibitory liquor
law, have been removed from Office by Gov.
Fuller as result of exposures of their op-
erations in office.
There were intimations of blsckmailing
saloon keepers and other crookedness, but
the grossest offence plainly proved was
running the machinery of law to get costs,
without harming the liquor dealers, where
by the state was plundered of thousands of
dollars every year.
The method followed was for dealers to
appeal all cases from the lower courts, with
such manipulation that they were necessarily
dismissed in the upper courts, so the state
were left with costs to pay in many hun
dreds of suits.
