BURNED TO DEATH.
David N. Cover Of ReadReld
Corner, Perishes in Flames.
Aged and Crippled, Is Unable to Es-
cape from Burning Home.
Charfed Remains Found In Ruins Loss Abou
$1,000; Partially Insured.

Readfeld, Me-. Nov. 21.-(SpeciaD.-
Our village is deeply saddened by the
events of last evening. About s
o'clock the fine buildings of Davis N.
Gowes, nearly opposite the chapel were
discovered to be on fire.
The first intimation the family had
of the fire was when Miss Belle Cover
opened the kitchen door and cloud of
smoke met her astonished gaze. Call
ing to her father. a man a years of
age. who at this time was in the dining
room, he went into the kitchen, but be-
ing lame, he fell PROSTATE on the floor.
In the daughters attempts to assist
him, her lamp went out and she was
directed by her father to sound the
alarm, he saying that he would get out
after she gave the alarm, she attempted
to find him. but the smoke was so
dense that she could not and he per-
ished in the flames.
When aid reached the house and
parties attempted to enter the kitchen,
they were driven back by the dense
smoke. In a short time the buildings
consisting of house. ell, wood shed and
stable were beyond saving, and We're
consumed.
The buildings were valued at $4,000
and there is an insurance of $1,000 on
them, and $500 on the furniture. Near
ly all the household goods were burn
ed, only the piano and one bedstead
being saved.
A few years since Mr.. Cover moved
to this village from Winthrop and
had these buildings put in first class
repair and was enjoying this fine home
made so pleasant to him by his daugh-
ters' care, one of whom was with him,
while the other was in Boston at the
time of the calamity.
Mr. Cover was man highly res
pected and an honor to any commu-
nifty. He had been a member of the
Methodist church for 30 years or more.
The funeral services were held at
the chapel at 1890 A. NJ, Sunday. at
tended by the pastor, Rev. ]. B. Lap
ham.
Miss Belle Cover has gone to her
sister at Boston, and will remain there
for a few weeks.

MARQUIS ApEsTEQUlA
Thinks Our Attitude Is Hostile to Spain Though
Perhaps Not Desisnedly 30.

New York. Nov 21.-Marquis Apes
teguia, leader of the Conservative par
ty in Cuba, arrived here, today. from
Havre. The marquis said he had been
in Spain for the last year and that he
would return to Havana, Wednesday.
He spoke very guardedly of the Cuban
war and SPANS attitude toward
America. 1T seems" he said, las
though the attitude of the United
States is hostile to Spain, though per
haps it is not meant to be So"
The marquis repeated that statement
that the Liberal party in Spain has
been much opposed to Gen. Weyler's
method of warfare in Cuba, although
the Conservatives We're not inimical to
Weyler. The marquis also said that
from recent accounts in the public
press he thought affairs in Cuba were
moving satisfactorily for Spain.

30 WD0iN COLLEGE.
Clarke Elected Foot Ball Captain for go
Bowdoin Glee Ciub-Notes.

Brunswick, Me-, Nov. 21-(SpeciaD.
AT meeting of the Bowdoin Var
sity foot ball eleven. Saturday morn
ing. Walter Bradley Clarke of Dam
ariscotta Mills, was elected captain for
the season of 1898. Clarke's position on
the team is that of full back, and he
has occupied that position since his
freshman year. He is strong, power
fully built young man. and has always
succeeded in making large gains
through the heaviest and most formid-
able lines which the Bowdoin team
has met with among it's opponents.
Clarke is popular among his associ.
ates and possesses many of those quail
tiles which are essential to the success
of a foot ball captain. The Feeling in
Bowdoin athletic circles is that the
decision made by the foot ball eleven
in the choice of it's captain is a very
wise one. Clarke is a member of the
class of 1899, and his fraternity is Zeta
Psi.
The Bowdoin Glee Club is practicing
daily under the leadership of Freder-
ick E. Drake, '9s, and the outlook for a
successful season was never brighter.
There is considerable musical talent in
the freshman class, and there are al
ready many candidates for positions
on the club. The Glee Club will start
on it's customary concert tour, in the
near future.
