A HARD FOUGHT CASE.
Heirs Of Late jeremiah True Of Richmond

RICHMOND, Sept. Especial. )-Bos-

the death of jeremiah r. True, who was
run down and killed by the cars near the
South street crossing of the Maine Central

of 1888. The corporation was represented
by Messrs. Coolige and Strout, Col. J. w.
Spaulding of 81 Summer street, Bos-
ton, appearing for Mr.. True's ad-
ministrator. The case has been be-
fore the Massachusetts courts in one way
or another since Mr.. True's death, but has
never been brought to rial. Gen. B. F
Butler, who was at one time of the council
for the plaintiff, had the defendant corpora
tion defaulted for the amount of the sd
damnum, but the case was restored to the
trial docket on compliance by the defend
ant with the terms imposed by the court
Col. Spaulding thinks his client has a good
case, and it is believed that it will now be
speedily prosecuted to final termination.

CRIED FOR AID
But It Was Impossible to Rem

Horrible Death Of Caleb Orvin Palmer
Of Dover, Thursday Night.
Burned 10 Death in Own Stable While Ir,inq
+. to Save Horse.

FoxcRorr, Sept. Especial. Caleb
Orrin Palmer, prominent citizen
of Dover, lost his life trying
to save horse from the flames,
Thursday night, at about 1915. 1t isn't
known how the fire caught, but the fire
made short work of 1t. Mr.. Palmer, with
the assistance of two boys, succeeded in
getting two horses cut, and not satisfied to
let one horse perish, Mr.. Palmer went into
the barn, which was perfect mass of
flames. He had just got into the building
when the roof fell, making it impossible
for Mr.. Palmer to get out without help.
He cried for aid, bu. there were no tools at
hand with which to cut into the part not
burning very much.
1t is thought that the barn caught from a
match dropped in the hay by tramp, but
there is no evidence of that as yet.
The barn was situated nearly south of the
Free Baptist chufch, and was always kept
unlocked. There were thirty tons of hay in
the barn.
Mr.. Palmer was successful business
man and heavy land owner. He had done
business IN this county for nearly forty five
years. A wife and two brothers survive
him.

ASSOCIATED PRESS FINANCES.
Their Deplorable Condition Shown in an Un
successful Appeal for Aid.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. An appeal for
financial aid recently issued by Victor F.
Lawson, president of the Associated Press,
seems to have fallen rather flat in this
region. He asked for voluntary subscrip-
tions for the purpose of fighting the United
Press, and the volunteers are conspicuous
by their absence, and a want of enthusiasm
generally in the direction of putting up
more money in a hopeless fight.
In his circular asking for voluntary con-
trbutions, he admits that his concern is
running behind in the neighborhood of a
Sl00, 900 per annum.
This is believed to be 100000 less than
it was losing three months ago, reduction
in the service, which was none too good
when the organization was losing close
upon $1,000 per day, having resulted in a
saving of some $4,000 per month. Mr..
Lawson says in his circular that large sums
have been borrowed, but that the repay
ment of these loans can wait. They are
reported tie amount to 100000. This last
appeal is being generally laughed at.
