what Mr. Wiley Says.

Mr.. D. W. Wiley, proprietor of the
Eagle house, said last evening that when
Miss Everson came to the house it was in
the company of man who called her
his wife. There was no trouble between
them, and no one heard loud talking in
their room. A gentleman who roomed
next to No. heard them talking, but
very pleasantly. The man left $50 call
and left the room at that time and the
door was not locked on the inside but
bolted. At 8 O'Clock the matron opened
the door of No. and saw that the wom
an was still fast asleep. Her room was
all right then, but gas was noticed at
H. 80 some hours later. When the door
was unlocked after the room was as
igned the h ey was returned to the key
board, and when the man left the room
at $50 he did notebook the door for the
good reason that he had no key.

DID THE MEDIUM FIND 1T?
Jay Citizens Think He Didn't Do SO Much
After All.

Jay, Me-, January 21.-Did the medium
find the body or was he an Indifferent
guesser? There are many citizens of
Jay who are not satisfied with the ac-
count given IN Mondays newspapers of
the finding Of ths body Of Mr.. Winning
They feel that 1T is misleading as it gives
more credit to the medium than many
believe is due to her.
The relatives had nothing to do with
consulting clairvoyant but some friends
thought it A good move and one of them
went to Livermore Falls to consult with
clarivoyant doctor. He said he had
done something of that nature but it was
not in his line, but man present who
appeared to be associated with him
recommended medium at Auburn.
The next day. the second mail train
after, the same party went to Auburn
and consulted the medium recommend
ed The medium described many things
that the party consulting her already
knew, some of which had been published
in the papers She located the body where
many people at first supposed, " within
four rods of where it was last seen. 1t
was found between ten and fifteen rous
Ol WueE6 III was lttsb S66u. ITO uIV6F
who was Telrployed by the paper compa-
ny to search for the body went down
much nearer to 1t than the place where
she located it, and many of the citizens
made much nearer guess than she did
as to where it might be found.
If the searchers had confined themselves
to the description given by the medium
as to the location of the body it would
never have been found. The same
ground had been searched over before,
but not so thoroughly as on Sunday, as
then the mills were shut down and they
could make a more careful examination
than when the current was swift. AS to
the condition of the body when found,
it was in some respects as stated by the
medium and in others not. The only
advantage that can be claimed from con-
sulting the medium Is that probably
some of the searching party might have
been satisfied with the previous search
in that locality and gone farther down
the river if it had not been for her.
: Mr.. Frank Mcintosh declined his half
of the $50 reward offered by the citizens
for the finding of the body and this with
about $40 additional, which was raised,
will be given to the family of the deceased.

TO PROTECT THE RESERVE.
Purpose of Subscriptions They May Be
Thrown Out.

Washington, January 21.-Treasury Off
Intention Of prospective purchasers OF
bonds to Indirectly take the gold for their
purchase form the reserve.
In order to discourage Withdrawals OF
gold for this purpose, the officials OF the
department have informed bankers ana
financial men generally that measures
would be taken to keep track of gold
which was withdrawn for purposes other
than for export, and that when 1t was
found that the coin had been withdrawn
for the purpose of paying for bonds the
bids of the offending persons would be
rejected under the provision OF the ad-
versisement reserying the right TO reject
any bids.
For a time this reduced the withdraw
ais of gold for domestic uses to a very
small nmout, but the officials OF the de-
partment think they have discovered
scheme for indirectly drawing out gold
to be used in payment for the bonds,
which may reduce the reserve to very
low point before the bids are opened ON
February 5. Information was received
from the sub-treasury at New York to-
day that 81, 500, 600 had bean engaged for
export tomorrow, and that another mill
lion would be taken out in day or two.
There Is suspicion at the department
that these shipments are not really being
made in good faith to settle balances in
Europe, but that the gold on it's arrival
on the other side of the Atlantic will be
Immediately reshipped to the United
States. 1t is possible that if the depart
ment can verify its suspicious the per-
sons engaged in this business may have
their bids rejected. The withdrawals
from the treasury today amounted to
$243, 900, leaving the reserve at So, 402, 100.
Bids for the bonds are still being re-
ceived at the treasury department., but
no exact information is obtainable as to
the aggregate of the bids thus far re-
ceived, for the reason that when enve-
lopes are lnarkd on the outside so as to
indicate that they contain bids they are
forwarded to the division of loans and
currency unopened. to be fled away un
til the time for opening the bids. In
many cases. however the envelopes have
no been so Marked and the bids have
been inadvertently opened, and in other
cases letters and kilograms have been sent
seperate from the bids giving the amount.

OUR FLAG REMOVED,
An Oficious British Magistrate Has the
American Flag Taken Down.

New York, January 21.-A George
town, Guiana, special to the Herald ksays
that at Bartioa, small inland place,
supposed to be within the British pos
sessions, in Guiana, tn inha bitants pro-
fusely decorate their little town for the
Christmas and New Years holidays, and,
in anticipation of visit by the acting
governor of the colony. Many flags,
plants and branches were brought into
requisition, and prominent, among the
former were Star Spangled Banners.
Several of these were floating singly from
high poles, and others were freely inter-
spersed with flags of other nations, in
strings, suspended across the street. The
effect must undoubtedly have been pleas
ing to most people.
There were also those, however, to
whom the appearance OF the banner OF
the United States of America was often
sive; but, when it is mentioned that the
latter consisted of two British Guiana
Officials, the lack Of good taste will be un-
deIstood.
Michael McTurk. magis trate of Brit
ish Guiana and Captain Baker, the head
jailer at the Queens penal settlements in
| this colony, arrived at Bartica, and short
| ~ afterward the Stars and Stripes began
to disappear, being replaced by the

the other nations remained up, not sim

seen. On inquiries being made it was
stated that Mr.. McTurk had asked that
the people be requested to take down the
| Am. rican flags.
The incident has created good deal
OF talk at Bartica and also in George
town, and l believe the matter has been
brought to the notice of the acting gov
ernor but only unotficially.

What John Bull Thinks of the Senate
Resolutions.

London, January 21.-The Chronicle
says it reioioes over the Bhering Sea ar
bitration, as showing that reason still
sways the Anglo-American relations and
persists in it's intention to take an optl-
mistic view of the situation 1t adds
that the story Of Spain selling Cuba to
Great Britain is not even for msrlnes, but
for Bedlam. The furnishing OF charts OF
North American waters, the West In dian
seas and the Mediterranean to the flying
70 uadron, it says, is without the least
significance, as no British warship ever
starts on foreign crouise without such
charts. 5ss
The paper appeals to the people to keep
their heads, and to discount wild rumors.
1t sees nothing in Senator Davis's reso
luton beyond q revised and more deli
mite version of the original Monroe doc
trine. The doctrine is not substantially
altered and the resolution is in no wise
calcu lated to damage the case for arbitra
ton.

An Alleged Assault.

Last evening two young women were
passing in front of the United States
hotel when they met party of young
mon. 1t is claimed on the part of one of
the young women that one of the young
men drew off and struck her terrible
blow. A crowd quickly gathered and all
the parties went down to the station,
the young man accused going of his
own accord. Each told their story to the
marshal. The young man said he didn't
strike the girl but pushed her aside; that
she had been drinking, pulled his coat
and followed him. Others declared he
did strike the woman, Marshal Trickey
said the woman had been drinking, al
though it was evident she was not intox-
icated. He let both parties go on their
personal recognizance to appear this
morning in the Municipal court, when
it will be decided whether she was struck
or not.

London, January 21.-Right Hon.
George Goshen, first lord of the admiral

which he said he wished to dissipate the

intended for use in any emergency in any
direction. 1t would go to Beechayen
without taking sealed or other orders ex-
cept to proceed to that place and await
instructions. The squadron is not in
tended as menace to any country, nor
was it destined for any particular quar-
ter of the world. 1t would be used as
other squadrons are used. Mr.. Goshen
appealed to the public if they heard that
the squadron had been ordered anywhere,
not to imagine it sent to menace any
body. The disposal of the squadron
would not be guided by political consid-
GRAFTON, while the situation remained
as it is now He denied the rumor that
the government meditated placing an
other squadron in commission. Never
theless it could not afford to rest on it's
oars. 1t did not porpose to adopt sensa-
tionl measures and would continue as
hitherto to steadily augment the mum Der
of ships, guns and men in order to main
tain its supremacy on sea. and secure the
nation from panic whenever war clouds
arose on the political horizon.
