FIRE At SOUTH NAPLES.
George Crockets Store and Freight Shet
Burned With $4,000 Loss.

Portland, Me-, Nov. ga special to
the Express from Naples says that the
store and freight sheds of George
Crockett of South Naples, were burned
to the ground, Friday morning. The
store was a general variety store such
as is usually found in country towns
and was we'll stocked with goods. The
loss will reach $4,000.
Mr.. Crockett is in Florida and the
amount of the insurance is unknown
but it is probably considerably less
than the loss. Nothing was saved from
either store or freight sheds.
The store was located close to the
bridge that crosses Muddy river neai
the head of Sebago lake and 1t was Sc
hot that teams could not pass and the
United States mail stage from Naples,
driven by Warren B. Chute, was de-
tanned for over two hours.

my defence, Monday, but if 1t should
exceed that time, l am sure l can get
in all my evidence in a couple of hours
on Tuesday"
Justice Maddox. after a conference
viii both lawyers, decided to postpone
the further consideration of the case
until Monday morning
The lawyers for the defence were
reticent when questioned as to the line
of defence on which they would base
their hopes of acquitting their client.
Lawyer Moss, when pressed for i
statement as to the probable produce
ton of Thorn on the stand, said:
wait until you see him there. l can
not tell you anything just now, but
Monday will be a lively day"
1t is believed that a half dozen wit
nesses will be examined by Thorn's
lawyers and it is expected that some
of these will give startling evidence
which will tend to shake that adduced
by the prosecution.

A GREAT SURPRISE.
Mrs. Mack Not Put on Stand
In the Thorn Trial.
His Counsel Surprised and Ask fvI
Time--Adjourned Till Monday.
And Thorn's Lawyers Promise That Monday
Will Be Lively Day.

New York, Nov. 26.-Lawyers Howe
and Moss, who have diligently con-
Quoted the defence of Martin Thorn,
accused of killing Guldensuppe, met,
today, with serious and unlocked for
obstacle when District Attorney
Youngs informed the court that the
people rested their case.
1t had been generally expected that
Mrs. Mack would be put upon the tsand
to reiterate her confession.
This may seem a very clever move
on the part of the prosecution" said
Mr.. Howe, but 1 am more than posi-
tive that when we introduce our evil
dence the jury will acquit my client of
the crime with which he is charged
The evidence adduced, today by the
prosecution showed a possible inclina-
ton on the defendants part to get rid
of his enemy Guldensuppe. Each was
the admirer of Mrs. Mack and it was
proved that they had serious row last
March. From current report Gulden-
suppe had much the better of the ar
gument when it came to fisticuffs, and
Thorn confessed later that he had dis
charged 4 revolver accidentally but a
few minutes afterwards told another
friend that he shot at Guldensuppe but
missed his mark.
When it was about time to renew the
sensational story of Mrs. Mack, the
prosecution informed the court that the
people had rested.
Thorn was less surprised than his
lawyers when this statement was made.
Thorn took in the situation at a glance
and bent forward in earnest conversa-
ton with his lawyers.
Mr.. Howe, for the second time during
the trials of his client. saw that there
were rocks ahead and appealed to the
court for time.
II shall, with Your Honor's permits
sion,' he said, try to get through with

WINTHROP, o: MONMOUTH. o.
Winthrop Sees Her First Game and II Takes
With the People.

Winthrop, Me-, Nov, 26.-(SpeciaD.-
On the schoolhouse grounds, during the
afternoon of Thanksgiving day, was
witnessed the first real game of foot
ball ever played in Winthrop. The OPP
posing eleven was from Monmouth.
The game was played in the midst of
l heavy fall of snow, but nevertheless
1 good crowd of spectators turned out
to see it, and all who We're there, many
Of whom had never seen game be-
fore, became converts to the sport.
Some who stood on the side lines, af-
forwards confessed that they had diff
Guilty in restraining themselves from
.ushing into the game to help out the
side with which they sympathized
The contest resulted in a tie the score
was too.
The Monmouth boys had the kickoff
Foster got the ball and rushed it a few
yerds when he was tackled by at least
four sturdy Monmouth lads. Winthrop
lined up quickly and sent Small around
the left end for Is yards. c. Stevens
bucked the center for 8 yards, and then
Monmouth got together and held
Winthrop for downs. Then Monmouth
sent first Warren and Corbett for
Winthrop's left end. but they were both
thrown back for loss. Warren slipped
and lost the ball. Winthrop soon lost
the ball through lack of team play, but
Monmouth could not get the pigskn
out of her territory and it remained
there for the rest of the half within
30 yards of her goal. Winthrop's trick
plays failed to connect through lack of
sufficient practice.
In the second half Warren caught the
ball on the kickoff, but was quickly
thown by Winthrop's rushers. Then
Monmoth began her series of drives at
the center by Corbett. This Corbett is
no other than the well-known player,
who was a few years ago the star
ground gamer on the Boston Athletic
Club team. By using this man con-

Vice President Dunn was seen by the

there is as yet no change in the run

thought expressed by any of the Off
