Failed to Capture Arms Intended for
the Filibuster Laurada.


NEW YORK, May 10.-A great deal of
mystery surrounds the movements of the
American steamship Laurada, which came
into port Saturday and anchored of Liberty
island. 1t was generally believed that the
Laurada had been chartered by the Cuban
junta for the purpose of conveying another
filibustering expedition to Cuba. When the
Laurada came into port it was observed that
she was drawing very little water and was
apparently in ballast. The news of her ar
rival was soon made known to the Spanish
consul-general, who hurried to the barge
Office, where he is said to have held con-
ference with United States Marshal Nc
Carthy. Meantime it appears that the con-
sui-general had communicated with his SUBJ
ordinates, who kept close watch on the
Laurada. They learned that lighter. the
name of which could not be ascertained, had
made fast at Pier IL, East river. The de-
tectives watched the delivery of many boxes
and cases on board che Jig lighter All this
at Pier 3, East river. AT the barge office
the revenue cutters Hudson and Charter
were also under steam. After the lighter
had received her cargo she steered up the
river and took position off Corlear's hook,
where. she was anchored. A tug with the
and lay in the middle of the river until the
lighter, hugging the Brooklyn shore, went
down the river passing through Buttermiik
channel. AS the lighter was. going by Gov
ernor's island by way Of the channel the
tug put back for Pier 3, where 1t is said the
detectives met Consul-general Baidesano and
Marshal Mccarthy. Thew were evidently in
structed to continue their pursuit Of the
lighter, as the tug steamed across the river
through Buttermilk channel to Atlantic
basin, where the lighter was found warped
to dock. Her cargo mad been removed
The tug then proceeded over to where the
Laurada lay and dropped anchor to the
ing from the tunnels of the steamship and
there was much hustle and activity on deck
Half an hour later the Laurada steamed
down the bay and passed out at quaran-
tine. 1t is believed that the Laurada will
meet some sailing vessel containing the
lighters cargo somewhere down the coast;
that the boxes and cases taken aboard the
lighter will be transferred from the sailing
vessel to the Laurada, which, with Captain
OBrien or Captain Hughes in command,

he, ''the wound pains me nearly all the

Hagadorn called at the jail and left
a can of fruit for his wife. He had an
interview with her, and says he put the
question fiat to her. as to whether she
ever uttered the statement as alleged,
about her being able to tell who muir
dered the jew Glegman. He says she
denied the report and pronounced the
story wholly false and untrue. That
she never said any such thing and does
not know anything about Glegman.
Hagadorn says, neither himself nor his
wife knows anything about the Jew, or
his disappearance, but that the last time
he saw him was at Chadwick's station.
He deties any man TO prove that he
ever murdered or even thought of MUIR
dering anyone. Hagadorn was greatly
interested in what appeared in print,
relative to what he knew about Stowell
Smiths trying to murder him with
pitchfork. He SAYS, the story is all
right and that he proposes To have
Smith in court to prove it. He says,
this was about years ago, on the
Neepe farm in Orleans.
He still denies that he is jealous of
his wife, but says the matter of their
living together again is still unsettled

Claims Allowed and Disallowed by the
Board at Supervisors.

Board at supervisors.
Portland Observer
! A few weeks since the Observer had
something to say about boards of sup
ervisors, not only in lonia county but
all over the state, being too fresh
about cutting, more or less, bills
brought before them for action by peo-
pie who had rendered service one way
or another. The item also said that
there was no doubt vigilance was re-
quired in order that unscrupulous or
dishonest officials did not get IN their
work on them. The item also intimat-
ed that there was some favoriteism
shown.
a case in point along this line is
shown in the supervisors proceedings
for January. Under the Claims No
committee there are several bills pre-
sented by various persons for claims in
diphtheria and other contagious cases.
There is one Of ). II. Pilkinton of this
village, for S27 for household goods
destroyed during the time he had
diphtheria in his family. The claim
is allowed" at 10000 If there is any
one who should have claim in this
connection allowed it is Mr.. Pilkinton,
for he can lily afford to lose what these
goods cost or what it would cost to re-
place them. They were sacrificed for
public good and the public-either the
village or the county-oueht TO reim-
burse him for their loss.
But to show the inconsistency of this
committee, right above the claim of
Mr.. PilKinton in the same class, is
bill for $3.50 put in by ID. G. Crawford,
an lonia city supervisor, and chairman
OF the No. 3 claims committee, and
which bill is allowed at $3.50, which
sum is for committee on investigating
contagious Diseases Is Crawford any
more entitled to his money than Mr..
Pllklnton; any more than DR.. Alton,
who furnished supplies to the amount
of Sl4.20 and was allowed nothing?
Frank Sprout, who had goods destroy
ed under precisely the same circum-
stances as Mr.. Pilkinton, put in bill
for S2l.75 and was allowed 1925. This
we are glad of; but it is the supervis-
ors we are after.
Further down in the same list is
bill for $3.50, allowed at the same
from LutLer Hall, another
supervisor, Tor the same work Craw-
ford did-investigated contagious dis
eases. 1t will be observed, dear read
ers, that those with pull on the
board or In a committee, are strictly
in it. We have looked over the list
and haven't found a supervisors claim
that has been disalowed.
If we are not mistaken the supreme
court has decided that supervisor
cannot draw salary for committee
work done outside the regular session
Of the board. II the work is done
when the board is in session he draws
only his regular salary. If Crawford |
and Hall drew extra pay for work done
when the board was not in session |
they should return it; if they have
double header for work |

Dispatches in the daily papers of
Saturday conveyed the following in
telligence: "Fire was discovered last
night about 10:45 O'Clock in the store
occupied by G. G.. Loase, next to the
Hotel Suniield. In few minutes the
whole block was in flames and the hotel
guests and other families living up
stairs were forced to escape in their
night clothes, losing everything. The
town being without fire protection of
any kind, the flames made rapid pro-
gress, famed by stiff west wind, and
before they burned themselves out
nearly the entire business portion was
reduced to ashes. Mr.. Loase's loss is
given at 81, 900 and insurance $1,000. +"
Mr.. Loase is well known here having
been formerly resident OF Smyrna,
trading his farm there with Mr. w. f.
Bricker for the Sunfield property last
fall. He was most highly respected by
all who knew him and has large
circle OF friends who will deeply regret
to learn of this severe loss. Mr.. Brick

voiced between 81 900 and $l2, 900 and
does not doubt but what at the time of
