Barrett Mystery Deepens.

Boston, July 2s.-Another mysterious
circumstance in the case of Miss Alice
Barrett, who was found dead in the office
of her employer Saturday, was brought
out at the hearing today which Fire Mar
shall Whitcomb is conducting to ascertain
the cause of the fire which broke out just
before the girls body was found. Witness
Briggs, an occupant Of the Goldman &
Goldman office, testified that 5000 paid in
the office last Saturday morning is miss
ing. 1t was received from MIR. Bailey
and was entered on the cash book and
ledger by Miss Barrett. The money has
disappeared, however.
At the afternoon session the fire mar
shall was closeted with Vim. G. Goldman
of the firm that employed Miss Barrett
and Clerk G. G. Street.
Mr.. Goldman eulogized the young
woman in the highest terms and expressed
his firm belief that the girl was murdered.
His theory was that when she returned to
the office in the afternoon some one fol
lowed her in. Escape would be possible
since the window of the next office was
close to the window at which Miss Bar
retts desk stood.
Clerk Street is inclined to the belief
that death resulted either from accident
or murder. The marshal will resume his
Investigation tomorrow

THREATEN THE REPUBLICANS. n
The Political Situation in Spain Anything
But Reassuring.

Madrid. July pa special despatch
from Oporto, Portugal, says that the
political situation, already grave, has
been aggravated by the strong measures
taken by the government to the intimi-
date the Republicans and to force them
to give effect to it's financial proposals.
The ministerial organs warn the Re-
publicans that they will be vigorously
dealt with.
These newspapers declare that "Repub-
licans cannot be permitted to provoke
agitation and disturb the public mind. ~
The opposition newspapers vigorously
condemn the government policy of sup
pressing public meetings and denounce
it "as contrary to law.
At Lisbon and other large towns the
government is taking special precautions
owing to the reports that the Republic
cans intend to provoke disturbances.
Troops are patrolling Lisbon, where re-
Inducements are arriving, and the local
commandant has so stationed his staff
as to meet all eventualities.
According to this despatch the King
had a long conference on Saturday with
the premier, Senior Ntntze Ribeiro, after
which the cabinet had a meeting and de-
cided to take what measures were neces-
sary for the preservation of order.

MAINE THURSDAY MORNING,

not long enough, and the steamer just
then backing away from the wreck pulled
the line from his hands. l called to those
on the steamer to lower the lifeboat, and
Olsen, Essens and myself took hold and
assisted the crew in gettingsthe boat out
of the chocks. In the excitement and
confusion no one seemed to know Just
what to do. No knife could be found
to cut the lashings of the life boat and
finally the carpenter was obliged to severe
the grips with hatcher. All this was
valuable time lost and before the life boat
had gotten into the water the vessel had
gone down.
"When the vessel took her last plunge,
the captain became separated from his
wife. They were both drawn into the
vortex caused by the sinking craft and
Mrs. Olsen never reappeared above the
water. The captain soon came to the sur
face and swan to a life buoy thrown
from the steamer, and this with llfe-
belt, which he afterwards secured and
adjusted, kept him afoat until the life
boat, manned by the second officer of
the steamer, three of her crew and myself
reached him. He was completely ex-
hausted and inconsolable at the loss of
his wife. When it was found that there
was no hope for the remainder of the
crew, the steamers bow headed west
and she continued on her way to Bos-
ton.'
The Florence was rather a small vessel
for barkentine. She registered only
199 tons net and her dimensions were
114.S feet, breadth 24.5 feet and depth OF
hold of hold 13. 1. She was built at
Brixham, Eng, in 1878, and at the time
of her loss was valued at $4500.

One is on the case of Charles F. Taylor
Of Randolph, committed 1891, to prison

sin of Biddeford, who has served three OF
a five years sentence for breaking with
intent to steal from the store of S. T.

emplary. He is in good health, and the

requires his support. Bean strongly urges
the release. Roussin declares he does not
want to be pardoned if it is going to tax
MS 1ather's means, as he knows they are
limited. Representative G. S. Hamilton

Patterson, one of the leaders of his lee.

Brown from the pastorate of Big church
for immoral conduct with member OF
his flock. Patterson led the fight against
him and Rev. A. j. Stokes, pastor OF

wrought up. This afternoon posse
composed of negroes captured Geogge
Pritchett and he confessed to having done
the shooting. Preachers Stokes and
Brown, Bracy and Branan and five other
prominent negroes have been arrested and
