NO DECISION YET.
The Location of the BrightwOOd Post
Office Still Pending.

The Postmaster General was not able to
reach conclusion this afternoon in the
Brightwood post office case. He may have
a conference late this afternoon with
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Bristow, or
it may give way for day or two to more
pressing business.
The question Of the removal of the post
office from Brightwood to Brightwood
Park has become one of great interest, for
the reason that similar controversies in a
large number OF cases have come be fore the
Postmaster General. The decision in the
Brightwood matter will form a precedent
for the determination of many other cases.

Private adyices, however, convince

INSANITY IN THE FAMILY.
Information Which Probably Explains the
House Mystery.

Waterville, October 1s.-After "a
hours search by some 300 students for
| the absent Ralph Fl. House, the mystery
of his absence remains as great as at first,
| save for the facts learned of his family
which have decided bearing upon the
reason why Major House at once accepted
the theory of suicide The information
been insanity in the family, that Ralph
Ell. Houses own mother was supposed to
have taken her own life when laboring
under an alteration of the mind. There
is also brother who at one time wan
dered off for several days without leaving
a clue to his whereabouts, then turning
up all right, and it is thought his mind
is affected.
Railroad men about the Maine Central
depot here state that House, to their
mind, attempted suicide few days be-
fore his disappearance by stepping in
front Of fast moving freight, and but
for their interference, would have been
then destroyed.
DR.. Butler has requested of General
Ticket Agent Boothby that he will learn
if any of the mileage possessed by House
when he disappeared, has been taken
within the past 10 days. If an affirmative
reply is received it will almost prove that
House boarded train at some point and
thus planned his departure; If q negative
answer comes the Kennebec river is to
be thoroughly grappled.
