In a recent article in the Transcript
credit for the patriotic work done in saw
ing Mount Vernon was given to "Miss
Ann Cunningham, a gentlewoman of old
Virginia" A correspondent of the New
York Evening Post takes issue with this
statement, and says: 1.-The woman who
saved Mount Vernon WAS Miss Ann
Pamela Cunningham Of South Carolina,
in which state she was born and reared
Miss Cunningham was woman of great
force of character and of unusual accom-
plishments. She devised the plan by
which Mount Vernon was saved, and
though confirmed invalid, carried it
into execution after years of patient labor
and in spite of obstacles which would
have been insurmountable to one of less
courage and patriotism.

THE THORN TRIAL BEGINS.
Prisoner and Mrs. Mack Will Try to Prove
Each Other Murdsrers.

New York, November 22.-Martin
Thorn, jointly indicted with Mrs. Au.
gusta Mack for the murder of William
Guldensuppe was again placed on trial
today in the criminal branch Of the
Queens county supreme court at Long
Island City.
Thorn's first trial which was begun
two weeks age, was interrupted and
abandoned on account of the illness OF
Juror Larsen.
About 1875 or $50 extra panel talesmen,
drawn for the trial, were in attendance.
Many of them were farmers from the
back woods of Long Island, and from
their conversation In the corridors 1t
was evident they had not read much
about the Guldensuppe murder. This
was regarded as favorable for getting a
jury within a reasonable time.
One of the new witnesses is Mrs. Ida
Ziegler of 1871 West Farms road, New
York. She, being called as a witness for
the de ence, indicates that Thorn and
Mrs. Mack will try and swear each other S
life away before the great criminal trial
is ended
Since Mrs Mack confessed Thorn COM
mitted the murder, Counsellor Howe has
been directing his efforts TO try and fast
en- the actual killing on Mrs. Mack.
This is why he has called Mrs. Ziegler
as a witness. She will testify that as
early as March last Mrs. Mack tried to
hire Ter cottage at West Farms, telling
Mrs Zeigler that Guldensuppe was to
live With her at the cottage. Mr.. Howe
will endeavor to show by this witness
that Mrs. Mack was planning to murder
Guldensuppe at that time.
AT 10. 10 Judge Smith took his seat on
the bench and annou need that he had de-
veloped malarial symptoms during the
week and that at he advice of his ply
sicians he did not think it safe to preside
at the trial in case he should break
down. He added that Justice Maddox
would take his place.
District Attorney Youngs for the prose-
cution and Mr. Howe for the defence, ex-
pressed their regret at the necessity for
Judge Smiths retiring from the trial.
Sickness again played prominent
part when the hour for the trial was
reached this morning. Judge Smith AS
soon as he arrived at the court house in
Long Island City, sent for District Attor-
ney Youngs and told him that he was
suffering from chiils and argued and
that rather than risk the possibility of q
second mis- trial he deemed 1t better to
telephone for Justice Maddox or Justice
Gaynor to try the case.
II have been i'll for some days past, !"
said Judge smith to representative of
the Associated Press and while feel
great deal better this morning, 1 am
afraid 1 would not besable to go through
the trial and thought it for the best inter
ests of every one concerned that should
not take any risk
When court was re .opened, Judge Mad
dog was on the bench. The pannel of
jurors was called and other formalities
were gone through with preparatory to
the selection Of jury.
Seven jurors were selected and court
adjourned until tomorrow morning.

BREWSTER TRIAL POSTPONED.

Montpelier, VT, November 22.-The
trial of Mildred Brewster for the murder
of Annie Wheeler, which was to have be-
gun in the county court today, will not
take place, nsw, until after the Supreme
court has passed upon a point raised by
counsel for the defence, when the case
was called today. The cause for this
change in the line of proceedings was the
Introduction of plea of abatement of the
Indictment entered by William A. Lord,
senior counsel for Miss Brewster. Mr..
Lord maintained that the presence OF the
stenographer at the session of the grand
jury inyalidated the action of the indict-
ment. The state demurred and Judge j.
NJ. Tyler before whom the case was called
recommended that both sides agree to
take the question to the Supreme court
Immediately. This course was adopted.
The Supreme court sits in January, but
the decision probably will not he given to
that the case can be tried before the
March term.
Mildred Brewster will be brought into
court in the morning to retract her plea
of not guilty, after which her counsel,
Vim. A. Lord, will formally file plea of
abatement of Indictment and the state
will formally demur. This will close the
case until the January term of the SUI :
preme court.

RAILROAD WORK IN SOMERSET


Pittsfeld, November 22.-The work on
the extension of the W. &. @. railroad
from Durham is progressing rapidly.
The number of men and teams engaged
in the work is augmented daily and there
is good probability that the contractor
will have the seven miles of grading COM
pleted within the specified
time and that trains will be run
ming to this place by January 1, if any
thing like good weather prevails between
now and then.
The work of completing the S. & NJ. to
Mainstream will commence in about ten
days it is understood and these trains
will run to that point before many weeks
With good weather the grading can be
completed to Harmony village in two
months. Harmony people are naturally
feeling much better. The road S compile.
ton will mean great saving to them in
various ways. 1t will provide an outlet
for the large amount of pulpwood that
can be taken from the wood lots, at a
profit where it could not be handled
otherwise.
That it is the intention of the manage
ment to continue the line to Guilford
next year, there is no doubt. Of course
the towns along the proposed route will
be asked to contribute IL reasonable sum
to meet the land damages.

Question.

The following letter is self explanatory.
1t is the opinion Of the PRESS. that, if

time out only when ordered to do SO by
the referee, is not obliged to take out time

The referee has no right to allow the play
continued except by agreement of the

WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH.

Baltimore, November ga disastrous
fire broke out at 2 O'Clock in the large
furniture establishment of W. N. Scott,
better known as ''Great Scott at Nos.

The flames were gotten under control

ever, until several adjacent store pro-
perties had been ignited. The loss to
Scott's stock is estimated at $780, 600;
insurance $8l, 900; building, loss $50, 900;
insurance $4,000. Other losses will
bring the total up to s175, 900 or $500, 900.
A body, Of woman, evidently Gus
toner, was found in Scott's store after
the flames had been extinguished. She
had been suffocated by the clouds OF
