Charles J. Searcey was arraigned Wednes-
day at Stafford C. H, Va, for his partici-
patton in the Aqua creek train robbery,
October IL, 1894, and pleaded guilty. After
a statement by Commemorative Attorney

Searcey that If he would confess and tes-
tify he should have only five years in the
penitentiary, he said that he was not bound
by any such agreement, the jury returned
a verdict Of guilty and fixed his term of
years. Searcey was at once sentenced and

Use of the Mails.

An unusual scene was presented today In
Criminal Court No. 2, when Martha S. Ad-
ans, a well-dressed and respectable-looking
elderly woman, was called upon to plead to
an indictment charging her with violating
section 1893 of the Revised Statutes
The indicted woman is charged with hav-
ing, on the Sth of last February, mailed an
obscene lewd and lascivious letter to one
Mrs Harriet S. Ryan of 1902 Sth street,
and with having, on the 9TH of last March,
mailed a similar letter to Edward S. Ryan
at the same address. She pleaded not
guilty, and it is probable that she will be
tried in a few days, meantime being re-
leased on bail.

Miss Yates on ssFashionable Think
fn;.o

A distinguished gathering at the Wash
1ngton Club listened last night to a lee
ture by Miss Yates on Fashionable Think
ing" with an attractive personality and a
charming manner. Miss Yates drew her
audience into sympathy with herself and
her bright sallies and original way of pre-
senting things We're greatly enjoyed. She
sketched the fashions of thought that
have come and gone and devoted herself
to the change that has taken place in the
thought about women. She summed up
the progress of her sex in the declaration
that there should be universal suffrage
with an educational qualification.

of 100000.

Foxcroft, April 2.-Elias Hale, judge of
himself Thursday. is defaulter as treasur-
er of this town to the amount of about
100000 as near as can be aseertained at
this time.
He had been treasurer for thirty years
without bonds till last year. He had hired
money as treasurer and made his reports to
the town of but a small portion of the money
hired
The municipal officers supposed that an
assessment of about 5000. which the town
had voted this spring, would pay the debt
in full.
1t is not known what Judge Hale did with
the money, except that he lived we'll all
these years and people supposed him veal
thy. lie has but little visible property. He
was buried today and an investigation is
now being made.
The news of this defalcation has created
a great sensation throughout Piscataquis
county. where Judge Hale has been known
and respected for over quarter Of oentu-
rY. lie was trusted official in whatever
capacity be was called upon 10 serve and
tie surprise at the shortage is therefore
all the greater.
1t will be remembered that Judge Hale
committed suicide Thursday in strange
manner. Fl o sent his son to the undertake
eS with the message that he desired to Tran
sact some business with him. When the I'M
Gertaker arrived at the house he found him
dead.

MAINE CENTRAL LUCK.
A IIead-On Collision Occurred Near
Bangor,
BUT ONLY ONE LIFE WAS LOST
IN THE WRECK.

The Property Loss is Considerable The
Accident Caused by Misunderstand
ing of orders-An Investigation to be
Held-Three Engines Were TeIescoped.
4 Bangor, April 2.-Maine Central train
No.93, leaving Bangor at 6.45 TUESDAY
morning, carrying local passengers to
Oldtown and Bangor and Aroostook
through passengers for Houlton.and Car
ibou, crashed into train 81, the night ex-
press from St. John, which was 80 min
utes late. The collision occurred ON a
down grade, three miles above this city.
The outgoing train was heavy and
drawn by two locomotives. It's condue-
tor had orders to cross the St. John ex-
press at Veazie, one mile beyond where
the accident occurred, but The conductor
of the express had received no crossing
orders and therefore supposed he had the
right OF way as usual. AS il happened
both trains were running Slowly at the
time.
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. Z
The three engineers and three fremen
jumped aud all escaped with bruises ex-
cept Fireman James Ward Of Bangor,
of the express, who was caught beneath
the debris OF postal car which shot out
past his engine, and was instantly
killed Baggage Master Eben Shaw

siderably crushed, much bruised and
we've rescued with difficulty, q but nc

THE MISLEADING BLUE FLAG.
| Veazie, Me-, April 2.-The colliding
trains were No. GA from St. John and No.
SO, or the "Shoofiy" train from Bangor
to Oldtown. The latter hauls up thu
morning B. & A. trains for Houlton ane
GreenvilIe and had two engines.
1t seems that this train had orders tt
cross No.64 at Veazie. Sixty-four wal
late and Engineer Lew Gilbert as he ap
preached Orono saw the. blue flag, indi
1 eating train orders. just before II,
reached the station this flag was takel
| in. He inquired the reason and was TOLD
that it was by orders from Portland. Ths
train was then without orders.
The trains met about 800 yards below
Veazie station. Gilbert jumped from
| the engine and escaped. James Ward
the fireman, also jumped and was killed
| by the baggage car which fell upon him
| Baggage Master Eben M. Shaw had
his leg injured, Henry Appleton of Ban
gor, a passenger. on SO, jumped from thl
train and broke his ley. No others were
seriously injured.
