Mr.. Story. the sculptor. who began

illustrates the fact that the emphasis

with determining the sense OF q sen.

Once, when he was called upon to de.

FiLlBUsTERERs TRIAL. CONTINUES.
It is Probable the Case Will Not Be Given
to Jury Before Monday.

Wilmington, Del, Septemberz20. The
trial of the alleged Cuban filibusterers
was resumed today, but little of what
was new was ELECTED at the morning ses-
sion, half of which was devoted to argu-
ments upon the admission as evidence of
package containing four letters ad-
dressed to Gen. Gomez. Judge Wales de-
cided this afternoon not to admit them
as evidence in the trial. Senator Gray
asked the court, in view of the fact that
no evidence was produced by the govern
ment to prove the charge against the
men, that the case be. dismissed forth
with. Judge Wales refused. preferring to
let the jury decide the question. The
government had just rested it's case.
Senator Gray called W. W. Kerr of Phila-
delphia, one of the owners of the steamer
Laurada. He testified that no arrange
ment was made for his boat to take the
accused men on board at q certain point
on the Delaware river on the night of
August 30 and added that even though
such had been the intention he would
not:tell unless the court compelled him.
Two reporters andsMarshal Lannan stat
ed that when Detective Gaylor first
opened the pacakge the district attor-
ney, Mr.. Vandergraft was not present.
Senator Gray proposed to submit the
case to the jury without argument, but
the district attorney objected. 1t is
probable that all tomorrow will be devot-
ed to arguments, and Judge Wa les will
charge the jury.

HANDSOME RESIDENCE DESTROYED.
House of Ex-Mayor Pen1ey of Auburn
Burned Last Night-An Overturned
Lamp the Cause.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Lewiston, September 20.-One of the
most disastro us fires which has occurred
in Auburn in years destroyed one of the
finest residences in that city this eve
ming.
The residence and stable of ex- Mayor
Albert M. Penley. were completely gut
tered by the blaze. The fire caught about
O'Clock in the stable by the accidental
overturning of a kerosene lamp, while
Mr.. Penley was feeding his. horse, and
in almost in an instant the stable was
blaze of flames The fire quickly com-
municated to the house and spread to
all it's parts The Auburn fire depart
ment was very slow in arrivingEat the
fire and it had gained great headway be-
fore they got at work. A second alarm
was rung in and theyLewiston depart
ment responded and the fire was, with
their assistance, got under control.
The fire was communicated to the dwell
ling and stable of A. A. Garcelon, next
adjoining, and they were very badly
damaged, both by fire and water.
Much of the elegant furniture in both
houses was ruined.
Mr.. Penley was unable this evening to
estimate his loss, but a conservative
figure for the losses of both Penley and
Garcelon is SIS. 900. Mr.. Penley'.s resi-
dence was one of the finest in Auburn
and was built but few years ago. He
lost three horses and several harnesses
and carriages in the stable. 1t was one
of the hottest fires in Auburn for many
years.

Has Challenged.
TROOPS LANDED.
City of Cuenay Blockaded by French War
ships.

Buenos Ayres, Argentine, via Calves
ton, Tex, September 21.-The New York
Herald's correspondent in Rio de Janeiro
telegraphs that news has been received
there that French warship has landed
troops in the Amapa territory.
The city of Cuenay is blockaded. Gov,
Cabral Is intrenched with 1900 armed
men and is acting on the defensive He
has asked aid from the Governor of the
State Of Para.
Dispatches from the Herald's CORES
pondent in Montevideo, Uruguay, say
that, according to advices from London,
English bankers are not disposed to loan
to establish State bank. French
financial houses are to be asked to furnish
the necessary funds.
The whole scheme is generally regarded
as a device for the enrichment of various
banks or politicians. 1t is declared that
no State bank Is needed in the present
state of the Republic.
Itis publicly announced that the
Argentine minister of finance has con-
oluded a loan of $40, 10000 in gold. 1t is
to r..n for five years, with the option OF
renewal for similar term. Interest Is
to be paid at rate of four pei cent.
Another loan of $4,000, 600 is being
negotiated with German bankers on the
same terms. No special security is to be
given for either loan.
ENancial circles here are at loss to
understand the matter. In view OF the
failing off of customs receipts, the
financiers think the money is to be used
in meeting the pressing needs of the gov
ernment.

LOOKS LIKE FOUL PLAY.
Mrs. billiards. Nose was Crushed in and
Her Jewelry is Missing.

Portsmouth, N. H., September 20. To
day Coroner Spinney empanelled jury
to investigate the circumstances sur
rounding the death of Mrs. Abigale
Hilliard, at Kittery Point who was found
last night floating in creek near the
government grove The jury viewed the
body. In addition to finding shawl
tied tightly about the head it was found
that her watch and other jewelry, with
the exception of one ring were missing
Her nose was crushed in as IL from a
blow from some blunt instrument. At
ter viewing the body the jury examined
Mrs. Mary A. Simonds, the adopted
daughter of the woman, Mary L. Clark
on and DR.. johnson, who made a partial
examination of the body. Nothing of
importance was elioited excepting that DR.
Johnson stated that death was due to
drowning The peculiar manner in
w hich the head was tied up and the
absence of the jewelry, gives rise to the
theory Of foul play. The jury arrived
at no verdict.

Tbav did not come back at noon and he

hunted all over the town till he found
them. He watched them and followed
them about till they finally returned
to his stable about 5 p. m. Then they
said they hadn't enough money to pay
for the team, so he made them go out
and sell more fruit till they could pay,
which they managed to do very quickly.
Thursday morning they came and want
ed the team again. He demanded pay

enough money, but they finally left their
coats as security and went out to sell
fruit in their shirt sleeves.
While they were gone,E Gin hanging up

Connecticut Rum sellers win Escape.

Hartford, Conn, September 2o-An in
teresting legal situation has developed
through the operations of the Connecticut
law and order league, and it is believed
scores of liquor cases now pending in the
courts will be affected thereby. Prior to
August / the law prescribed penalty
of $50 and thirty days in Jail for second
conviction for Illegal sale of liquor. Un-
der this law scores of raids were made
during June and July and among them
several cases in Putnam. The new law
which went into effect August /, provides
a penalty Of 5000 fine and six months in
iail for the second conviction. 1t is held
by counsel for Putnam violators Of the
law under which they arrested is dead
and the new law cannot be held to apply
to them as it increases the penalty over
that in force when they were arrested,
the increase of penalty under the oircum-
stances being held to be ex-post facto,
therefore null and void. There are several
decisions which support this point. The
practical effect of this opinion, if sus-
tained, will be to nullify all prosecutions
made by the Connecticut law and order
league which were pending when the
new law went into effect.
