THE RECEIVERS REPORT.

Globe Investment CO.

Boston, November 12.-Receiver Henry
A. Wyman of the Globe Investment Com

Barker issued the order Of notics on the
same returnable in thirty days. ::
The report states the company collected
over $500, 900 in loans and has not paid
holders of securities representing the
loans. About $3.50, 900 of this amount was
paid for interest and other loans in cases
where the interest was not paid by the
borrower. The receiver says the company
kept secondary sets of books, in which
improper entries were made of tranac-
tions, between the company and the
Globe investment Company of Nebraska,

These books are not shown to bank ex-

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Gossip in Washington Over What Congress
May Do About 1t.

Washington, November 12.-Aotion on
the Nicaragua Canal will be one of the
first questions pressed on the attention
of the next Congress. The subject has
been canvassed by letter and otherwise
and there is little doubt that canal
bill will be promptly introduced and
passed.
What the President will have to say on
the subject in his message to Congress
is a matter that causes much conjecture. :
A prominent Democratic senator today
expressed the belief the President would
advocate the construction of the canal,
but expressed q fear there would be in
the message an implied recon- mendation
that Great Britain be invited to join with
tho United States in the great work.
The senator stated our relations with
Great Britain. appeared to him to be drift
ing in that direction and that such a
policy was advocated by Ambassador
Bayard. Congress- this gentleman add
ed, would never pass a bill providing tor
the joint interest of the English govern
lnent in the work which he believed the
United States was destined to carry
through to completion.

HALF DEAD FROM EXPOSURE.
A Poor Fellow Found in Barn Freezing
and Starving, After Two Days Search.

Pennington, November 12.-Word WAS
given out on Saturday that Pennington
man was missing. and fears were enter
tanned as to his safety. The facts appear
to be thus: George Smith is a young
man of about 25 years, son of Samuel
Smith, who formerly lived on a farm
about four miles from Pennington
village Since the death of his father
young Smith has lived with his aged
mother on the farm. Lately signs of
mental alteration have been noticed, and
it was not deemed best to leave him
alone.
On Friday afternoon Mrs. Smith left
George alone about twenty minutes only
to find him gone Oh her return. Be-
coming alarmed as he did not come back
to the house a search was begun. This
was kept up day and night through the
heavy r Jpi rain Of Saturday, until Sunday
night when he was found in the hay
NOW of a barn on the farm formerly
owned by the late DR.. Edmund Russell.
Smith was in nearly q dying condition
His body and limbs were rigid and his
temperature very low. DR.. Richards of
FarInington was summoned.
Later in the evening Smith revived
somewhat, so as to recognize those about
him, and burst into tears.
1t is impossible to state how much of
exposure he endured or what hallucina-
tion or fancy caused him to leave his
home. 1t is limited that there is a lady
in the case-a matter of unreciprocated
affection.

BATHS Municipal Judgship.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1


Bath, November 1a.-It has been said
that Judge Nathan Coombs of thu
Municipal Court, whose term expires
next month, would decline a reappoint-
ment. This statement has probably not
been authorized by Judge Coombs him
self as petition is now being circulated
by a prominent young Bath lawyer ask
ing that Governor Cleaves reappoint
Judge Coombs
1t is also said that petition is being
circulated asking for the appointment of
Sanford L. Fogg, a young Bath lawyer,
who is also in the city council.
1t is believed that both men stand good
chances and it is hard to say which would
get the appointment. Some people say
that Governor Cleaves's friendship with
Ardon ". Coombs of Portland might
have some weight on his fathers side.
1t is said that James w. Wakefield OF
this city, one of the most prominent Re-
publicans in the State, would support
Mr.. Fogg.

OSCAR WILDE AGAIN.
Taken to the Bankruptcy Court to be Ex-
amined.

London, November 12.-Oscar Wilde
was brought from Wordsworth prison
this morning to be publicly examined
in the bankruptcy court regarding his
assets. Wilde looked i'll and his answers
to'ouestions were almost entirely monosy-
Liable and given in low voice. His testi-
lnony showed that in recent years he
lived beyond his means, and had some
times been paid in advance for plays,
hence certain theatrical managers were
his creditors instead of debtors. The
court passed upon Wilde's accounts which
showed liabilities OF 1851, and no
available assets.
1t transpired in the course of his ex-
animation that there was a marriage
settlement in favor of Wilde's wife of
esO0 year.

WARSHiPS TO TURKEY,
The Rights and Interests of Americans
Must Be Protected.

Washington, November 12. The detail
Of the flagship San Francisco to assist
the cruiser Marblehead in caring for
American interests in Levant, is likely
to be followed by an order despatchlng
oher American warships to that part OF
the world, it the Armenian situation does
not improve.
1t is known that Secretary Olney is in
favor of leaving nothing undone to show
the Porte that citizens of the United
States in the Sultan S possessions, must
be respected in their rights, and the
numerous American educational instl-
tutions in Armenia must be protected
from mob violence.

THREE HUNDRED WOMEN
with Husbands, Fathers and Bro thers
Gone They Implore Protection.

Constantinople, November IA
traveller who has arrived at Trebizend
from Ezcotroun states that when he was
approaching Baibut he met 300 Armenian
women, who knelt before him and I'M
plored protection, declaring that their
husbands, fathers and brothers ahd been
killed by the kurds and that there were
no males of their race who could save
them from either dishonor or death.
In spite of the bad financial condition
of the government which is now in the
arrears in the pay of the reserves already
called out, it has been decided to summon
more reserves for service. 1t is doubtful
if the government scheme can be effected
owing to the scarcity of money, but the
attempt will be made.

Secure More Stamps and Certificates OF
Stock
Boston, November 12-Early in the
afternoon the officers took Chatfee to his
former residence at Roxbury, where he
said more property was stored which he
would turn over to the officers. Upon
opening q box in which Chaffee said the
articles were stored, it was found to be
empty. Chaffee declared he was nom
plused. Returning to headquarters Mrs.
Chaffee wife Of the prisoner, was found,
and she informed the officers she had
changed the hiding place of the articles
after the officers had visited the house
yesterday. She accompanied the in
spectors to the house and there produced
box from which were taken 225 sheets
OF postage stamps, being part of the
Kidder collection, o large number OF
stock certificates, the par value OF which
aggregated nearly $780, 600, also large
number of letters written Chatfee by MI
and Mrs Barrett Cor Bassett), which
tended to show that Chaffee's story as to
how the property came into his possession
was true and that he is not Implicated
in any of the robberies.
Among the papers was an agreement
signed by Mrs. Elizabeth Bassett, dated
Boston, May 81, 1894, as follows:
''To whom it may concern:
That ], Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett of New
York, do give to James ). Chatfee OF
Boston, Mass, full control OF all
properties belonging to my husband,
William Bassett, or myself, wherever
located. to dispose of as he sees fit. y
This agreement tends to confirm
Chaffee's story. Even if it could be
proved that Chaffee is implicated in the
breaks with Barrett, it is doubtful if he
could now be reached by the law on
account of the statute of limitation.
The police are apparently satisfied that
he is not connected with Barrett in the
robberies, and as he has done all he could
since his arrest to aid the officers in turn
ing up the property, it is very doubtful if
they will push the charge of breaking and
entering against him.
A warrant has been secured for his
arrest, on the charge of receiving stolen
property and he will be arraigned tomor
row.
Included in the list of stock certificates
found today were the following: Ceruif
cate No 174 of O. X. Gold Mining
Company for 1000 shares, par value of
$1,000; a mortgage note of Lombard In
vestment Company for $500, payable to

The Indian Uneasiness.

Washington, November 12-Indian
Commissioner Browning has received this
telegram from Agent Day, dated Ignatio,
November 49,
''I have sent eight police in charge OF
Stanley A. Day and Joe Smith to the
scene of the murder. There is no danger
from my Indians here, but they are ex-
cited and uneasy There is more danger
on account of the fear of the Western
Utes than any other agency. Buckskin
Charlie is fearfully excited. l attribute
his unrest largely to cowardice, as he is
afraid of 10th Ignatia and Marino, the
two chiefs. I ordered 300 rounds OF
cartridges from Durango, more to allay
their fear than from any thought OF
having to use them. The police will
reach the scene of the murder Wednesday
night. I"

ESPECIAL TO THE IREss.]
Bangor, November 12.-The determined
fight for the possession of Ida Smith,
a 15-years old colored girl of Norfolk,
Va. which has been going on in the Su-
preme Court before Judge Emery for the
past four days, was brought to close
this afternoon. Ida came north in the
summer of 1894 as nurse girl for Mrs
r. S. Brown, who is the daughter of
Charles II. Bray, prominent merchant
in Old Town. She passed the summer
there and in the fall, Mrs. Brown re-
turned to Norfolk and left Ida behind,
the understanding being that when Mrs.
Brown came north in the summer Of
1895 the young girl would accompany her
home.
The Grays went away for time last
fall and Ida went to live with Mrs.
Douglass, the stipulation being that she
should return to them when they re-
turned home. This part of the agreement
was not carried out and Ida decided to
remain with Mrs. Douglass.
Mrs. Douglass, so the Grays claimed,
5ribed Ida's father with presents, and
he wrote letter to her saying that Ida
could stay with Mrs. Douglass for COM
pensation of 81 per week, but stipulating
that Ida should return to Virginia in
the spring.
Spring came and she did not come
back The summer passed and yet she
did not return. Mrs. Brown came north
again, and brought paper signed by
the girls father which stated that she
should be taken in charge by Mrs.
Browne. Armed with this paper Mrs.
Browne visited the Douglass homestead
and Ida was captured and there was i'm
mediate war.
Mrs. Douglass secured writ Of habeas
who has since had the girl in his posses
sion.
AS stated above the hearing was held
before Judge Emery and has attracted
great attention. Counsel for Mrs. Doug
las claimed that Ida had been taken from
Mrs. DouGlass's house by force and
against her will by the .Gray's. All she
asked was to have the matter decided
so the girl could go where she pleased.
Ida's father came all the way from v ir-
ginia to testify in the case, and when he
went upon the stand quite commotion
took place. He said that all he wanted
and return her to him. The lawyers
made their arguments this afternoon
and no sooner had they finished than
Judge Emery said he would have the
father take the girl home. 1t has cost
lots of money to see who should have
the colored girl, there being 20 or 20
witnesses in the case.
