Particulars of the Death of Michael
McMonagle at st. Andrews.

Great interest In the alleged murder Of
Michael MoMonagle of ST. Andrews, con-
tinues in Calais and surrounding towns.
Later reports furnish more oompl etc
story of the affair than has been given.
McMonagle had hired three In
dams, one named Lola, q second
named Sebbattis Thomas and third
whose name has not been learned, to take
him to Pleasant Point the home of the
Passamaquaddy tribe of Indians.
The party started from st. Andrews
and seemed to get along all right until
near the Perry shore, when several poo
pie who were on shore heard loud talk
coming from the direction whore the
canoe was drifting along, and it IL
paddle and strike McMonagle over the
head. The men on the shore say they
heard him cry for mercy and heard the
other Indians say, "Don't Lola, don't do
that!' to which Lola replied, Let 60
my paddle P'and ssruck his victim again.
Then. as the witnesses claim, he
picked up the then UNCONSCIOUS man and
threw him overheard and in doing So
the canoe was upset, pTecipitating its oc-
cupants into the water
Lola called for the other Indians to as
sist him in righting the canoe and all
| then managed to get the craft rightside
up and get into it.
BY this time McMonagle. who had
been revived somewhat by the cold
water, called to the Indians to save him
and endeavored to reach the canoe when,
it is reported, Lola hit him with the
paddle and he imm ediateiy sank from
view.

WILL STONE RESIGN?

Rumor That MissOuri's Executive Will De-
 vote His Entire Time to the Democratic
 Campaign.
 WASHINGTON. Aug 17.-It is not without the range of probabilities that w. J. Stone, of Missouri, may resign his office as governor to take prin- cipal part in the management of the democratic national campaign. Now that it has been settled that Senator German will not accept the chairman ship of the democratic national execu- tive committee, the preference of the leaders seems to be for Gov. Stone. Mir. Bryan, too, is said to favor the Missouri executive.
 Of course, it would be impossible for Gov Stone to assume the responsibili- ties of campaign management and at the same time retain the governorship, and this is where the hitch comes in. The chairman of the national executive committee will be compelled to devote his whole time 10 his duties. That the position has been offered to Gov. Stone there is hardly doubt, and the delay of Chairman Jones.in announcing the executive committee is believed to be due to Gov. Stones hesitancy as to his decision

A MIGHTY METEOR.
Five Persons and Many Sheep Crushed to
 Death Under the Mass.


 TUCsoN, Ariz., Aug. 17.-Dr F. M Smith, of Hagarstown,M Md. ,and party of mining men who have just returned from the Ripsey mines report the fall of an immense meteor, which struck the desert about two miles north o1 Halls ranch, and about the same dis tance south of the Ripsey mines. Mem bers of the party who were camped at Halls say the concussion was terrible. Cupboards were upset, dishes were thrown on the floor and the house trembled as leaf. The noise was like that of many cannon fired simultane. ously. The air for miles around was filled with sulphurous gas, and the me teor came down red and smoking. It covers about two acres of ground, ap' bearing to be imbedded hundreds of feet in the earth. and now forms a great mound in the desert. A herders hut and corral were in the meteor's path. The herder, his wife and three children, all Mexicans, together with about l,:Oo sheep, went down under the mighty mass. A large party left here yesterday evening to view the wonder and to get further particulars. It is about 60 mi les north of Tucson, and about 40 miles from Globe.

Election or President This Year Largely iu
 Their Power.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Mr. C. w. Ernst, formerly assistant postmaster of Boston, has long been known as an expert statistician. Mir. Ernst, while in Washington, prepared interesting figures, which he believes to be impor- tant in the conduct of the coming cam paign. Speaking of them to-day, he said:
 Of the men who voted in 1892, about 1O01, ,01O are dead. Their places are taken by the young men who have reached the voting age since 1892. It is fair to think that the vote in is9j will be heavier, relatively. than in 1899 In 1899 the country was apathetic. while in 1896 it is interested. Iexpect total popular vote Of about li0 0,CoJ. nearly 300, J,O0J being new voters; that is. young men who at tained their majority since ls92. voters natu- ralized since 1892 and men who failed to vote in 1892 for lack of interest The important ele- ment is the young voter who cast, his first vote for president The total number of young men who have attained the voting age since ls9! is almost 3.O0O0J0 Not all will vote. If anybody doubts this statement that near ly 3U),0D young men have reached the voting age since 1892 consult the census about our young men respectively 2I, 2. g and .4 years Of age. In Is9J their number was 2.5Ie.O43 in a total male population Of the voting age agPre- gating I6,9p,3il. This population of voting age has now reached about ls7aO.fOJ, oi whom about 2,8)O0O have attained the voting age since 1892 It is not un- reasonable to think that some 2.5J0- 600 of those young men will cast their first bal lot for president, either for Bryan or for Me- kinley, ani that the outcome Of the election rests almost wholly with the very youngest voters we have The fate Of the country rests with the middle west and in the middle west far less Vith the old voters than with the young men who are less than p years of age

NEW FUSION SCHEME.
Republicans. Populists and Gold Democratc May Unite In Some Southern States.

May Unite in Some Southern States.
 INDIANAPoLIs. Ind, Aug. 17.-It is not at all unlikely that com bination ticket will be put in the field by the republicans, national democrats and states. The executive committee of the national democracy is in receipt of propositions looking to this end from Alabama, Texas and Florida, and is in- clined to look upon them with favor. The leaders of these three parties in the south have not yet discussed mat ters of detail in the proposed fusion, but it is probable that if it is to be car ried out they will fuse on the state tickets as nearly as possible in propor- tion to the strength that each one pos sesses and that electoral tickets will be made of men pledged to vote against Bryan and Sewall In all three of the states mentioned the populists have declined to enter into the fusion with the democrats arranged at St. Louis, and are strong enough. in com bination with republicans and sound money democrats it is alleged, to swamp the Chicago ticket in each of these states. This looks more rational when it is considered that under these circumstances the colored repu blican vote of these states will Le protected and counted. That element alone isalmost sufficient to carry them. The executive committee will consider these propositions at its meeting in Chicago on Monday. The republicans in the states named have not submitted the question 10 their national commit tee, nor have the populis,s to theirs.

FOR year and half there will be no bourbon whisky distilled in the United States. By agreement all the distilleries in Kentucky closed on July 3l and they will not resume operations until 1898. They were losing money. The distilleries had been keeping too far ahead of the demand. Hard times have produced an enforced temperance and as a consequence the yearly pro- duct in Kentucky has been 5,OOO,OOO gallons in excess of the demand. Prices have fallen away below the profit point, and the distillers saw that their only hope was a general closing of their works.
