The bodies Of the victims were in very
bad condition, when they were closed W
IN oasket. When the clothing was re-
moved from the woman, d gaping wound
on her left breast waa discovered, evident
" having been made with an axe. The
blows she received in the face made her
countenance almost unreoognizable, as
they cut the side of her face open,

Mate Bran was captain Of lighter at
New York two years ago. A Halifax
man who met him there at the time, re-
cognized him at the police station today.
The recognition was mutual. Bran when
in New York was regarded by his asRo-
oiates as a sort of fy-off the handle man.
He is one of the boys and is liberal in
spending money. He states that he is a
member of Masonic lodge in New
York.
d. H Monok, father Of Leslie Monck,
arrived late tonight from Boston. He
drove at onoe to the police station.
Young Monck broke down when he met
bis father. After he had recovered, the
two had long conversation. John Nash
of Harrington, Me-, brother of the MUIR
dered captain. arrived tonight and will
leave tomorrow to return with the bodies
of Captain Nash and his wife.
Braun, the first mate of the Herbert
Fuller, resided in New York for a num-
Der of years and conducted a resta urant
there He was for a long time deyout
member of the franklin street Methodist
church, of which Rev, Stephen Merritt
is the pastor. Sit was reported this after
noon that Bran made q confession, but
as far as could be learned there was DO
foundation to the story. The report of
the medical examiner, on his autopsy of
the bodies OF the victims, describes fully
the condition OF the corpse and says that
death was due to some heavy instrument,
such as an axe, which inflicted many
fatal wounds in each case
DR.. Finn believes the second mate was
killed first, Captain Nash next. and Mrs
Nash last. The vessel will be mads ready
again for sea and new crew shipped as
soon as possible, when she will again sail
for Rosario. The murdered second mate
was buried today in Camp Hill cemetery.

Halifax, N. s.. July 22.-The intense
excitement ocoasioned yeserday by the
news of the triple mulder ON board the
barkentine Norbert Fuller, the arrival of
the bodies of the three victims aad the
arrest of all on board the vessel has not
abated. The street around the police sta
ton where those in custody are held,
were today was provided with people.
The remains of Captain Nash and wife
have been sealed up to await the arrival
of the dead captain . brother.
At eleven, the hour at which the mag
istrate's investigation Of the tragedy was
to commence, it was announced that
Medical Examiner Finn's report on the
post mortem examination was not ready
and the inquiry would not be proceeded
with today. The story that Leslie Monck
the passenger. will tell on the stand will
be substantially this:
Wien Mrs. Nash's screams awoke Monck
he realized that something was wrong,
and put on his clothes. Then he loaded
the revolver ana went out in the compan-
ionway. He did not see any person as be
emerged from his room. He took a look
into the chart room, saw the captain dy-
ing on the floor, and also observed blood,
He thought that some mishap had befal
len the captain and went forward to call
the captains wife to come TO the assist
ance of her husband.
On reaching the room q horrible and
sickening sight met his gaze. The hor-
ribly mutilated body of the captain Is
wife lay on the floor. 1t then dawned on
Monck what had happened to the captain
| and he hastily proceeded to the second
| mates room TO find that he had been
murdered. Monok treinb bled with fear, as
| he did not know what to do, or how
many of the crew were implioa ted In the
| tragedy. At first he started aft, but was
afraid the murde1ers or murdsrers might
be waiting for him to come up and Kill
him.

After the bodies were removed from the
rooms, Mopck locked the doors, took the
keys and kept them himself. The mate,
Monck says, never touched the bodies.
The others helped fix them up, and put
them in small boat. During the morn
ing after the murder, Spencer and Mate
BRAIN had conversation, in The eouIse
of which, Bran asked him il certain
washing powder was good to wash cloth
ing with. Spencer sold 1t was, as his
wife used it at home.
Later on Spencer watched Bram and
saw him get shirt that he wore on the
night of the murder, end put it liz q
bucket Of water, and throw large guam
tity Of this washing powder on top OF it.
Spencer became more suspicious.
No steps were taken at that time, but
the same close watch was kept on the
mate. The mate had full charge of the
ship, and all this time was navigating
her himself. Monck and Spencer did not
think be was steering her for the nearest
port Monck consulted chart and found
that the mate was taking the vessel of
her course, and heading in another direo-
tion altogether. E3
Monck and Spencer oafne to the con-
clusion that they would have to place the
mate in irons. Spencer first seized BRAIN
while Monok stood over him with a load
cd revolver. The mate did not resisb. AL
hands were ordered on deck andremained
thFe all the time, as it was feared some
of them were in league with mate Bran.
N onck consulted the chart again and
found the nearest port was bermuda.
The Portland daily press., 1896-07-23

He retraoed his footsteps and went Up
the forward oompanionway. No sooner
had he PLACED his head above, than a
billet of wood was hurled at him by
Mate Bran. Mo1ck levelled his revolver
at the mate and the latter begged him
not to shoot. Mnock was suspicious of
the mato, but did aot say anything to
him. The crew were aroused and they
were horrified at what had taken place.
After consultation, Wheelman Brown
was placed in irons, and the mate as
sumed command of the vessel. Suspicion
rested very much upon the mate. Monck
says he ami Charles Spencer, the colorsd
steward, talked the matter over after :
wards, and they proceeded to look for the
captain 8 revolver, which up to that time
could not be found. They searched the
chart room, but it was not there. They
looked in the captains room, in which
Monck had been sleeping. and 1t was
found undereath the mattress. 1t was
loaded when they found it, and Spen Ger
took it to protect himself against any
further outbreak, as Monck had his OWE
revolver.
Monck and Spencer seemed to gain in
each Others confidence, and they sworked
together. Spencer, who Ia evidently q
very shrewd man, took in the situation
minutely, and kept close watch on all
that was going on. Spencer was very sus-
picious of the mate, and he frequently
told Monck OF 1t. Monck says the mate
was very cool all through the whole
affair.
Bran suggested that the bodies bs
thrown overheard, and the cabin and
rooms cleaned mp This Spencer and
Monck declined to allow being done.

DON'T DO 1T.

We have understood that some of the
boys are arranging to have Jug or
to somewhere on one side or in the
brush on the Fourth of July, and ex-
pect to de thriving business. The
Register would suggest that they
would better try to have their fun and
make their money some other way.
OF allcreated things men desipse u
boOt-legger the most, and it is just as
certain as anything can be that the
man who tries to go into the business
i'm lola on the Fourh of July will have
abundant time during the next
thirty days to repent of his folly.
lola wants every body to come here
on the Fourth. and she will do every
thing possible. to make them welcome
and entertain them. But there will
be pease and order on that day if We
all have to fight for it, and there will
not be bit of mercy for the man who
tries, for the sake of a few dimes, to
turn the National Holiday into a
carousal.

TAYLOR.ARCHlBALD.

Mr.. A. L. Taylor, of lola and Mrs.
Julia Archibald, OF Chanute, were
married on Wednesday evening, June
"a, 1896, at the home of the bride in
the presence of a few intimate friends.
After the ceremony they went away
for short trip, but expect to be at
home to their friends In lola the first
of the week.
The happy event meets the hearty
appreciation of the friends and family
of both the bride and groom. AS
teacher in our city schools for a
number of years MRS. Archibald en-
deared herself to great number of
onr people who learned to know and
love her through the enthusiasm of the
children who were in her classes,
and she will find q warm welcome
awaiting her. Mr.. Taylor as one of
our most public spirited and popular
business men, is held in the highest
esteem, and will be heartily cOngrat-
ulated upon his good fortune. The
entire community will join the Re-
gister in expressions of feliciation
and good will.

AS the last issue of the REGISTER
went to press before the st. Louis
convention had completed its work,
we promised to give a complete re-
port this week. On consideration,
however, we were unwilling to have
our readers wait so long for the most
important news of the month and
so printed an extra addition with
a full report of the convention. The
trouble and expense have been more
than repaid by the expressions OF
appreciation which have been heard
in all quarters.

That is the main thing. Not a great

a good big town. Say twenty-five to
thirty-five hundred people. That is
what we will have in the course of
two or three years. And they will be

however, there have been few symp-
toms so far of the foolish boom fever
that drove so many Kansas towns in
to bankruptcy and ruin ten years
ago. All the sales have been at reas-
enable prices, and most of the pur-
chases have been made by those who
realize that if they wanted to get
cheap home in lola they would do
we'll to buy now. Of course prices
will advance. That is inevitable.
But there will be no sky-scraping
boom, and people who live in other

For several months some of the
public spirited citizens of lola have
been quietly negotiating with Messrs
Robert and William LanyOn for the
establishment here of a zinc smelter.
The REGISTER has known all the
time what was being done, and has
known for the past month that the
trade was practically certain to be
made. But with a caution born of
many disappOintments we have re-
Trained from making any public men,

been signed, sealed aud delivered,
and there was no possibility of a
"fiunk' anywhere along the line.
That time has. now arrived. We
have seen the contracts and we know
the men, so there is no mistake about
it.
The proposition made by the Lam
yons was that they would come to
lola and establish zinc smelter here
which would employ not less than
fifty men the first year and not less
than seventy-five men thereafter on
condition that they were given the
free use for q term of twenty years of
