composed of James M. Nave and L. G.
Drake, of Nicholasyille, and T. B. Sit

ed at the former place for the develop

They have already leased about 1000
acres in Rockcastle, Garrard and Madi-

AFTER MANY YEARS
A Mother Once More Regains Her Lost
Darling.

Manchester, n H., January 13.--Mrs
J. Spear of Chicago was brought here to-
day to meet her daughter who was kid
mapped nine years ago. The little girl
Emma H. Spear is eleven years old, and
is exceptionally pretty. She was stolen
from her mother in Augusta. Me-, in
1887, while the lattor was Ill. The kid.
napper was Mrs Frank Kicker, who was
taking care of the child and became
deeply infatuated with her. During the
nine years, the Spears spent thousands of
dollars, employed police and detectives
in the search for the child. Finally the
abductress died in Concord and the girl
was handed over to a farmer in Peter :
boro. Then she was sent to this city,
where she was found by her parents
through an advertisement in the local
papers and the clever work of Inspector
O'nowd The meeting between mo her
and child was very affecting

suddenly last night at her boarding place,

The suspicious circumstances of the
case render it quite probable that an
autopsy will be performed to determine
the canse of death. Miss Hartman

suddenly with vomiting on Sunday noon,
and this was followed by commissions aud
her death occurred about midnight. The
doctors called, were puzzled and unable to
make satisfactory diagnosis. The de-

Washington, January 49, The Republi-
can senatorial caucus this afternoon was
not fruitful in results. Beyond the
understanding, reached without taking a
vote, that when an opportunity presented
itself, Mr.. Frye should be placed in
nomination as the party's candidate for
president pro tenn, nothing was done.
There seems disposition to put off any
further reorganization of the elective
officers of the body until the new Senators
from Utah shall arrive.
The caucus was Of short duration. VOL
cott of Colorado made a short speech, and
said he spoke for himself and his
colleague. They could not, he said, un-
dertake to be bound by such caucus
action as the Republicans might take,
and without their votes, If one of the
Populist's or third party refrain from
voting, the Republicans are powerless.
Should the detection of the two Colorado
Senators be permanent, it does not appear
just now how the Republicans can reo1-
ganize the Senate -
There was some feeling manifested by
certain Senators after caucus adjourned.
1t was intimated that overtures had been
made to certain Republicans in the way
OF appointments, if they would refrain
from urging reorganization As force

BLAZE in DEERING.
A Lively Fire That Would Have Been
Worse but for the Automatic Sprink-
lers.

At 9. As last evening, Charles T. Good
rich of the Deering Drug Company, who
was on the street near his house no.
ticed that there was smoke pouring out
of the old toothpick factory. He at once
went to the building and found that the
watchmen who were in the basement
had not noticed the fire which was con-
fined to room over the boiler. There
was sound of running water, showing
that the automatic sprinklers with which
the building is we'll supplied were doing
their work, and as matter Of fact did
splendidly.
Chief Moody AMI the Deering fire de-
partment was soon on the ground, but
the automatic sprinkler left little to do.
A hole was out through the front wall,
the hose was passed in and the fire
drowned out in few minutes. The
automatic sprinklers and tie prompt
and efficient work of the fire department.
prevented what threatened to be very
bad fire. AS it was, the fire was con-
fined to the building in which it origi-
mated.
The building is owned by Col. John M.
Adams and A. S. Wilcox, and is valued
at $4,000. Col. Adams and Mr.. Wilcox
are insured for $500, which will probably
cover their loss. G.. S. Soammon had
quantity Of match wood in the drying
room, and his loss is estimated at $400.
The building is ocoupiad by Charles f.
Willard of Turner as box shop. 1t was
estimated that his loss will exceed $1,000,
and as far as could be ascertained last
evening he had no insurance. George
Milliken of Portland and G. S. Soammon
had some match stock on hand and some
of the unsold stock Of the toothpick fac
tory was also stored in the building. 1t
is supposed that the fire was caused by
an overheated pipe.

A Wicked Attempt to Wreck an Express
With Poor Mule.

New Haven, Conn. January 15.-An
attempt was made to wreck the gilt edge
express on the shore line about midnight
last night near East Haven. A mule
was placed on the track with its feet
tied. The engine struck it. mutililating
it terribly, but neither engine nor cars
left the track. The passengers were con-
siderably shaken up. There is no clue to
the attempted wreckers, and it is not
known whether the motive was a joke or
not The animal was stolen from barn
near the track, and was placed on the
rails just beyond sharp curve. The
train was running S5 miles an hour.
