WANT THEIR SHARE.
A Grand Kick Over the Distribution of the
Relief Fund,

Fall River, September 19-Today's IS

and Agent Cunneen of the Seaconnet
mill, failed to. secure any promise that a
restoration of wages would he made to
the weavers now employed under the re-
dtced scale of wages. Tomorrow morn

same scale in operation for the past four
weeks. 1t was expected the meeting of
carders employed i'll the mill would be
held tonight, but owing to the storm
and other unknown causes, no members
put in an appearance There is dissaJis-
faction in the Weavers' Union regarding
the distri button of the relief and spec
ial meeting will be held tomorrow6morn-
ing in Music Hall, to deal with the mat

ing to give away $1,000 weekly to the
members while the funds lasted, no
special provision was made in relation to
the manner of distri button. Today when
the distribution was about to be at
tempted, many paying g members of the
union insisted upon receiving the same
assistance granted others representing
themselves as in needy condition It
was soon apparent that the executive
committee could not discriminate nor
judge quickly as to the needs of the ap-
plicants, and it was therefore decided 60

morrow, and all mem bers entitled to
relief under the constitution should 90

AN IMPORTANT SUIT.
Its Adverse Settlement Will Kill the
Scheme
To Connect Chicago and St. Louis by a
High Speed Electric Railroad.

st. Louis, September 19.-The case of DR.
Wellington Adams, who has been suing for
an infringement of patents by all the street
railway companies using electric motors,
was dismissed by the Federal court.
This is the end, probably of the much
talked-about scheme to connect these two
western cities with high speed electric
railroad. Everything hinged on the success
of this suit. A company was formed and
the stockholders put in considerable money
and work had begun on grading for twenty
dvesmiles of track, from Alpine, H., to
Chicago. The plan provided that the road
shall be of standard steam construction
(as to road bed and track in order that it
may be available and valuable in case of
failure of its electrical features"
The capital stock was increased from
$7,000,000 to $4,000, 600, ,'and the company an
nounced it would make an active effort to
secure freight as we'll as a passenger busi-
ness. Prof. F. E. Nipper of the electrical
engineering department of Washington
University, st. Louis. was president of the
company. and DR.. Wellington Adams, gem
eral manager, and I. G. Hughes, chief
engineer. The distance between Chicago
and St. Louis, in a straight line is 256 miles,
and il was proposed. to traverse this dis
tance with high speed electric motor cars
for passengers in three hours.

Bangor, September 19.--Some excite
ment was caused here today by the dis
appearance of the master o. the schooner
Cocheco, Captain William H. Harris.
The schooner arrived here last week from
Boston, after cargo OF lumber. and on
the way the captain ran into Deer Isle
for few days to visit his family. While
there he had some trouble it is said,
with his sons wife and he left immedi-
ately for this port, and when coming
up river Cd the tow some parties on an
other schooner shouted to Captain Har-
ris, that he had better look out or
they would catch him when Bangor was
reached" Sunday noon Captain Harris
had the mate, man named Living
stone, set him ashore, and he has not
been seen since. When the two men left
the vessel in the boat, Livingstone asked
the captain to give him some money
which was due him for wages since Au-
gust 1st. Theicaptain refused to pay him
and also refused to leave any money to
buy provisions for the crew, which were
left on board. The mate expected Cap
6aln Harris DacK TO supper. ana asked
him before he went if he would not re-
main and eat lunch, but he refused to
remain any longer on board. Living
stone came up to town today to consult
a lawyer about attachig the vessel for
his wages. The mate says he has sailed
in and out of this port for ten years,
and this is the first time that he ever
had any trouble with master of the
vessel. 1t is thought that the cf plain
believed ne would be arrested. Living
stone says that if the captain had paid
him his wages and left ssome money on
board with which to buy provisions he
would have taken the schooner back to
Deer Isle, but as he is now situated he
has got to get some money to pay his
fare home to Gloucester, Mass.

from Nicaragua, yesterday. Two were

the disturbed ondition of affairs. Cap
tain Lamont says the American residents
there have been afforded more protection
by the British than American vessels,
the United States cruisers Columbia and
Marblehead having done practically
nothing to protect American citizens
and their property. The British cruiser
Mohawk offered protection and carried
many Americans to ports where they
could take steamers for home. One of

TYPHOID FEVER.
1t is Quite Prevalent In Portland and
Vicinity.

The Portland physicians report rather
more cases of typhoid fever prevailing this
fall than is customary. Thus far this month
sorty-eight cases have been returned to the
secretary of the Board of Health, as against
nineteen cases for the corresponding period
last year. What has occasioned this rather
large increase has not yet been ascertalned.
Typhoid cases occur most frequently at this
time of the year when families return from
their summer outing. The germs of the
fever have been taken into the system
either through their food or drink-for
typhoid fever is contracted in that way and
in no other-and incubated there
In many cases it is caused by drinking
water from wells. Many people have an.
idea that if the water tastes well 1t must be
good, but that is by no means sure test.
The physicians of the board think it is
possible the germs may have been taken in
to the system in milk and they have sent
communications TO physicians within
radius of fifty miles of the city to make
thorough investigation Of these supplies
and report. We understand that the board
do not think the germs have been taken in
the Sebago water. but to make sure com-
mission will visit the lake today and make:
a thorough investigation.
The cases in Portland are not confined to
any particular locality or condition in life.
They are scattered all over the city, and
are to be found in the families of the poor
and wealthy alike. Twelve of the cases
were reported in one day.
1t is said that there are quite a number
of cases in Cape Elizabeth. Perhaps the
same causes that produced them in the city
produced them there. The Board of Health
will doubtless locate the cause before long.

week. Invitations have been received
from Portland, Foxcroft and Houlton. as
places to hold this years encampment,

SIGHTED A BURNING VESSEL.
There is No Trace of the Name of the
Unfortunate Craft,

New York, September 1e.-Steamer
Victoria, from Mediterranean ports. ar
rived today and reports that on Septem-
ber II, in lat. A., a vessel on
fire was sighted She was apparently a
bark of about 400 to 500 tons burden.
The starboard side was burned nearly to
the water's edge, and the flames wer e
still raging furiously. The Victoria
stood close to the burning vessel, but
could detect no signs of life. The name
and hailing port were burned off. T he
theory was the vessel had become un-
seaworthy and was set on fire and aban
doned by the crew.
