A ROCKLAND EMBEZZLER.
The Firm Of G. B. Weeks Company
Embarrassed.
STEPHEN CHASE DEPARTS IEAY.
ING RUN BEHIND.

Robbed the Firm of $4,000 .and Secured
Many Thousands On Forged Notes.-The
is Believed to Have Stolen $4,000.
Rockland, September 13. The firm of
G. E. Weeks company, wholesale fish
dealers is greatly embarrassed owing to
the populations of one of the partners,
Stephen Chase. The company is close
corporation with capital stock of $780,
900, of which $25, 900 is paid in. The
liabilities of the firm are said to be about
SIG, 600, and the assets merely nominal.
The creditors are largely Boston,, Port
land and Gloucester parties. Chase had
charge of the mails, for the past two
years robbing the company. He is
thought to have taken about $1,000, and
besides has defrauded citizens of about
$4,000 by means of forged notes. He has
forged the signatures Of the treasurer OF
the company and OF Mrs. D. A. Tuker-
man as endorsements on private notes.
He leaves many unpaid bills, probably
owing in all somewhere in thu neighbor-
hood of SIS, 600. This money he lost in
outside ventures mostly in fitting out
vessels for the fishing business. He al
ways has been considered perfectly up
right and honorable man, and the defaI-
cation is great surprise to citizens. He
went to New York last Saturday on busi-
ness for the firm, and his criminal
transactions have just been brought to
light. His present whereabouts are un-
known. The company has closed it's
doors, but expects to come out of the
difficulties all right.

WILL MAINTAIN THE GOLD RESERVE
The Bond Syndicate Do Not Intend to Re-
lax Their Efforts in the Governments
Behalf.

New York. September 13.-J. ..Pierpont
Morgan said this afternoon: "The obliga-
tions of the bond syndicate to the govern
ment were discharged when the final pay
ment for the bonds was made June 20,
last. Nevertheless it is the intention of
the syndicate to continue to do all in its
power to maintain the gold reserve. The
date October 1, at which time the syndi-
cate has an option on any new issue of
bonds will not mark the limit Of the
efforts to keep up the reserve any more
than the date of the final payment for the
bonds did The syndicate is anxious to
see the finances of the government kept
in good order and will exert itself to that
end. A mistake was made in reporting g
the gold contributed to the government
by the banks today. The amount put in
the sub treasury was $500, 900 and not
50. 400, OOO a contribution of 81, 800, QUO
credited to the Park bank was in reality
made on Wednesday and was included in
the lump sum of So, 100000 which was
announced at the time as having been
received from the syndicate

Boston League Team Upset.

Baltimore, September 1s.-The bus in
which the Boston ball players were re-
turning to their hotel from Union park
after today's game was run into by a
cable car at the corner Of Eutaw street
and Madison avenue, and several of the
players were thrown to the ground.
Second Baseman harrington received
bruises about the head and legs. Michael
Gavin, the driver, had a wrist broken
and the other members of the team were
considerably shaken up, but not..seriously
injured. Harrington's injuries will
probably keep him out of the game
during the remainder of the season.

NEW INSANE HOSPITAL.
The Plans of Architect Stevens Are
Accepted.

A Description of the Building as Designed
Structures Will be of Brick With
Granite Foundations and Trimmings.
Bangor, September 13.-The Eastern
Maine Insane hospital will be one of the
handsomest buildings in New England
when fully completed. The foundation
and the trimmings will be OF stone,
while the rest will be of brick. The
centre structure Is known as the tempo
rary administration building" and In
this at first will be located the offices OF
the superintendent and his assistants.
At the right and left are the only two
pavilions provided for to date, but more
will be added as needed until the entire
structure will reach back many feet into
the body of the hill, whose brow was cut
off to allow for the growth in the rear.
Exactly in front of tine temporary ad-
ministration building will be erected at
an early day after the finishing of the
other parts, the permanent admlnistra-
ton department, handsome building OF
brick and stone, containing chapel and

corridor and reserved for the use of the
superintendent In: the rear of the
main buildings, and obscured cut by
them, will stand the great power house
where power and steam will be generated
for the use of the entire establishment,
together with laundries, bakehouses,
kitchens and other necessaries OF such an
extensive plant.
The building will face just little
west of south, exactly parallel with the
Hogan road and slanting little as it
faces the river Sixteen hundred feet of
sloping geen will stretch away from It's
portals to the edge of State street and in
this magnificent park will be set low
shrubbery and attractive lawn fittings of
various kinds In the rear of the entire
plant, between the power house wall and
MT. Hope avenue, there will be another
beautiful stretch of lawn, which will be
maintained as garden and as place for
the entertainment and recreation OF some
of the mllder ca ses.
The exterior of the building will be
reasonably plain: around the upper story
will be laid frieze in gray brick, while
between the windows there will appear
a pretty design of diaper work.
The staff Of employees at the hospital
will be a large one and special arrange
ment have been made for their accommo-
dation. Architect John Calvin Stevens
of Portland, who drew the accepted plan,
deserves credit for his work.

aHonolulu, September Z, via San Fran
cisco, September 13.-The Hawaiian
legislature, which has been considering
the question of granting a pension of
$4,000 annually to the Princess Kaiulani,
has postponed further consideration of
that matter until the next session. There
is very strong feeling among the ad-
herents Of the republic favorable to such
action, and it is not entirely improbable
that pension will lbe granted by the
next legislature
Executive clemeney has been extended
to Greig and Marshall. two of the men

Royalist revolt, and sentenced to ten
years imprisonment They have been
pardoned under condition that they leave
the country.
concerning flibustering expeditions
which are alleged to be fitting out at
various places against the Hawaiian
Republic are disoredited here. The i'm
preston Is that these reports are in
ventions of enemies of the republic in the
United States, who desire to annoy and
discredit the present government.
1t is understood here that a report has
been circulated to some extent in the
American press that, before his with
drawal from the Washington mission,
Mr. Thurston had frequent interviews
with Secretary Gresham upon the subject
of annexation, and that at these inter-
views Mr. Thurston refused to entertain
the idea of disturbing the relations of the
alien element, and of adopting the con-
tract labor law in Hawaii. Mr. Thurston
denies the truth of these reports and says
Secretary Gresham always refused to dis
cuss the question of annexation with
him. MIR. Thurston has always been
outspoken in desiring to put an end by
annexation, to Asiatio immigration and
contract labor. Mr. Thurston, in this
matter, has the countenance Of the Presi-
dent, the Cabinet and portion Of the
wealthiest planters, although the planters
face the probability Of diminished re-
