case.

BAD FIRE IN MANCHESTER.

Manchester, Conn, Aug 1.-THE lit
tie town of auckland, located few
miles west of here, was the scene OF
the biggest fire in it's history at an ear
ly hour this morning, when the mills
of the Peter Adams Manufacturing
company, paper makers, We're practi-
cally destroyed. This concern, which
employed about rs hands, was oper-
ating night and day, and a portion OF
the full complement of hands was at
work as usual last night.
The Workmen fought the fire by
means of bucket brigade The fire
was not under control until about 80
this morning. The loss is placed at
about $4,000. The fire evidently origi-
mated near the feeder boilers but just
what caused it has not been ascer-
tanned.
The mill was established by King
Goodwin in 1850. Later, Peter Adams
secured control of it and in it's devel-
opment expended, it is said, nearly
$500, 900. For the last year the plant
has been operated by J. D. Pickles and
Brother.

large crowd of spectators. The Wei
comes had an iron cinch on the game
from the beginning and led off in the

score, while the eight runs of their op-
ponents were made in four innings.
The features of the game were a double

AFTER AMERICAN GRAIN.
Large Purchases Made Here BY For
eigners.


Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE Rec
ord to-day says: The largest fleet of
vessels that ever left England in bal
last has sailed within the last week
for the Delaware Breakwater and
Hampton Roads for orders. Their
owners have found it more profitable
to send them without cargoes than to
have them wait for one.
The machinery of some of them is
rather antiquated, but the demand for
steam tonnage has induced their own
ers to give them another trial in COM
peting with the more modern craft.
Several vessels arrived at the Della
ware Breakwater yesterday from Eu-
rope in search Of business.
Large purchases of grain have been
made in this country by Italy, Austria,
France and Egypt, countries which
rarely before have purchased cereals
in the United States. Several char
tiers have been effected at this port to
carry grain to Marseilles, Genoa, Triest
and Alexandria and other Mediterran-
can ports.

His Left Leg Almost Torn OF
at the Hip.

RIVERSIDE, Dec. 23.-TWo very I'M
portant incidents We're reported TO the
officers to-day in connection with the
recent tragedy in the river bottom,
wherein an unknown man lost his HE.
A couple of boys named OOay. WHO
reside a short distance from the sceile
of the murder, report that they We're
hunting horses near where the body
was found a day or so before the find
ing of the body, when they heard two
shots in the brush, followed by
scream, after which three men rusheo
out of the brush and passed near
where the boys stood.
Another person, a man named Young
corroborates the story of the boys. He
says he was driving past the spot at
the same time, and he, too, heard the
shot and the scream, and a little later
the three men came out of the brush,
and one of them asked Young Tor
q ride to the nearest station, as he
wanted to go to Los Angeles.
The officers were also notified OF an
other clew to-day by a woman to whom
q strange man brought some laundry
the Friday before the body was found.
This woman describes the appearance
of the man who left the clothes, and it
fits the dead man. The clothes are
exactly similar to those worn by the
dead man. The man left his address
with the laundreSs, but this has been
lost.
The above clews are likely tn soon

MAN AND BOND MISSING.
Santa Clara County May Lose a
Three Thousand Dollar Fine.

SAN JOSE, Dec 23.-It was learned
to-day that a $1,000 bond in Grim
inal case is no longer in the custody OF
the County Clerk, and the general be-
lief is that the document has been
stolen The bond was given in the
Steve Wade case
Wade was convicted of seduction, and
fined $1,000. with the alternative of
40 days Imprisonment. His parents
were wealthy and took the case to the
Supreme Court. Pending a decision.
Wade was placed under $1,000 bonds
and allowed his liberty. Now after
the judgment of the lower court has
been affirmed, both Wade and the bond
are missing.
The District Attorney says he has a
copy of the bond, and that the judgment
of the court will not be thwarted. 1t is
expected, however, that Wade's attor-
ney will object to collecting the amount
due on the bond, and interesting legal
proceedings win follow.

SUNOL RAIL ACCIDENT.
Gold Weather Ascribed as the
Cause Of the Wreck.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-An Of
ficial report has been made ascriblng
cold weather as the cause of the wreck
of the Fresno train at Sunol last Tues
day night.
The incident is considered remarkable
in California, as railroad men are not
accustomed to look for weather suffi-
ciently cold to have any marked effect
in contracting the rails.
AS the train was pulling into Sunol
on Tuesday night the locomotive struck
the switch and ran off upon one
track. The tender jumped the track,
completely tearing up the rails and
twisting them very badly, while the
train remained on the main line. The
train was delayed three hours.

ington to seek the aid of the United
States in securing redress for the muir
der of five of his family by whitecaps,
must necessarily be a failure. Up to
this time he has not called on Regis
ter Bruce, as it is stated he intended
to do.
At the Department Of Justice it is
said that under no circumstances could
the United States become a party to
any proceedings of this character
against Mississippi, and it is said to
be doubtful whether the State itself
could be sued for damages under the
circumstances, and certainly not with
out its consent. The only remedy 1t
is suggested would be for Lee to pro-
ceed against the Sureties of the peace

SEAMAN MONTGOMERY'S DEATH.
COMMANDER STOCKTON'S YER
SION OF THE AFFAIR.
Evidence That He Was First Muir
dered by Japs and His Body
Thrown Into the Water.

NEWPORT OR. u, Dec. 23.-Com-
mander c. H. Stockton, q. S. N, who
commanded the Yorktown at the time
when two sailors, Frank Epps of New
York and Seaman Montgomery, attach
ed to the Asiatic fleet, were killed by
Japanese at Nagasaki, has just re-
turned to his home here.
Commander Stockton said to an AS
sociated Press representative that
Montgomery was a landsman on the
Yorktown, and was the boats deck
cook, ard had been restricted to the
ship on account of drunkenness.
Commander Stockton from memory
then recited the incidents of Montgom-
ery's death, as follows:
Last August Montgomery, in COM
pany with a marine, left the Yorktown
without permission while the ship was
in the harbor of Nagasaki, Japan. The
men swan to the shore. Two days
later Montgomery body was found by
Japanese boatmen in the water. and
it was taken to the Police Station.
Commander Stockton was notified, and
he sent a petty officer ashore to iden-
tify the body accompanied by the sur
geon Of the ship.
Finding marks of violence upon the
body, Commander Stockton ordered a
board of officers to hold an inquest.
From investigation of the case, and
from all evidence obtainable, the Off
GERS came 10 the conclusion that Mont
gomery had died not from drowning,
but from violence at the hands of some
person or persons unknown.
I'D %1n
case to the United States Consul at
Nagasaki, to the police authorities on
shore and to the Navy Department
through the Admiral of the Asiatic
squadron and also had an interview
with the Chief of Police of the district,
and disabused his mind of the idea
that Montgomery had died from acci-
dental drowning.
The evidence given by the marine
who accompanied Montgomery shows
that the latter had not drank to ex-
cess, and was seen at IL o'clock the
night Of the murder with a roll of Jap
anese bank notes wrapped in canvas
in his hand. and he was displaying his
money to his shipmates.
No trace of Montgomery's murder
ers was found up to the time the York
town left Nagasaki on September 18th
last, the vessel then being under orders
to sail for home.
Montgomery's body was found in a
shallow part Of the harbor, and the
circumstantial evidence showed that he
was knocked on the head and thrown

FRENCH ON THE NILE.

Being Mistress of the Situation.

PARIS, Dec. 23.-The "Gilblas" to-
day publishes a letter from Major Mar
chand, the French officer whose expedi-
ton was recently enormously reported
from Brussels to have been massacred.
The letter, which is dated Zalo, June
18th, says the work accomplished is
enormous. He adds that the French
troops strongly occupied Meshaerrek,
and that by August 14th France would
thus be firmly established on the Nile,
without firing a shot. Commenting
upon the communication the "Gilblas"
says the rivals of France cannot longer
prevent her from being mistress of
the Nile
