HAVANA, CUBA, April 16-The latest

m arkably thrilling story written by Com
IN lander Jaqueneau of the lost steamship
Vile St Nazaire OF the sinking of his ves-
sci and the subsequent horrors in Inc life
boat in an attempt to reach land. He
advances the positive opinion, not before
suggesi ed, that the steamer struck a dere-
lict. When the vessel lurched. just be-
fore the leak was discovered, many on
board experienced a violent shock as
though she ad struck a hard substance.
The captain says he is positive a dere-
licr sent the vessel 10 the bottom.

driven back by westerly winds. Several
occupants of the boat went mad. Those
afflicted with erotic insanity fancied they
saw women and even corps de ballet
That was probably because there was q
great mum ber of fish OF strange form
sporting on top of the water around the
boat. These fish, dancing in waves, did
really in some degree look like women.
With their long fins ending in what re-
sembled claws they clutched at each
other, and in the waves they became
greatly N magnlfed. Great schools of these
fish travelled alongside on the port and
starboard sides of the boat The lines of
the boat were reflected in them so that
tie occupants fancied sometimes that
they were in the long wings of some fairy

Daring Murder and Robbery
Committed in Broad
Daylight.
THE VICTIM HAD BEEN THERE
MANY YEARS.
After a Quarter Of a Century OF
Faithful Labor the Official Is
Treacherously Killed.

SOMERSWORTH.N N. H., April 16.-Jo-
seph A. Stickney, the aged treasurer and
cashier of the Great Falls National Bank,
was alone in the building ten minutes after
noon to-day. When his assistant, young
woman named Swasey, left HIM he was
busy on an account which he wished to
finish before leaving the bank for dinner.
An hour later he was found lying on
the floor with a battered he ad and grew
some knife wound in the throat Extend
ing from ear to ear. Marks on the head
suggested the use of a blackjack. and the
belief is that the murderer crept quietly
in while the old man was engaged with
his figures and struck him down before
he had a chance to utter sound. Just
5000 in cash was taken by the murderer
and robber. OF this $500 was in gold, and
the balance bills. There was large amount
of money represented in che cks and other
negotiable paper, but these were not
touched, a circumstance. which seems to
indicate that the robber was not new in
the business.
Somersworth has a population of about
S000 The bank is in two-story and half
building. up one flight. Underneath is q
harness store. 1t is evident that no at
tempt was made to enter tn e building
until every body had left it for luncheon.
The noon whistles had scarcely ceased
sounding when the assistant cashier had
donned her wraps and started for home.
The proprietor OF the harness-shop and
apprentice left soon after. This left the
building with but one occupant, Stckney,
and he undoubtedly was so busy that he
failed to notice his slayer until he was
close upon him. The door from the entry
at the head of the stairs, leading to the
banking rooms, opens directly in front of
the cashiers window. The theory is
that the cashier was strack through the
window. The door leading through to the
cashier, and where the money was was
slight and lightly built, and this was
broken.
The murderer must have been greatly
excited, for the old mans head was
bruised, his skull fractured, and the black
jack used on him was broken, for the
leather covered leaden bulb was found
close 10 the body whe n the alarm was
given. What weapon was used to cut the
old mans throat is not known, as none
was found. The murderer must, however,
have ueen covered with blood. L is be-
lieved that only one person was directly
concerned, and that he came prepared

The Heselton House bids fair to re-
gain its old time popularity as a home
for the summer tourist. Landlord
Chandler has been busy at his desk sev-
eral hours each day for the past week re-
plying to applications for rooms the
coming summer. He has already book
ed rooms for families in Philadelphia,
New York aud Baltimore who desire to
pass the heated term in Skowhegan.
To those who are familiar with this
popular house it is needless TO say that "A
better pl ice to enjoy the mouths of
June, July and August does not exist in
New England Combining AS it does the
most perfect ventilation, the acme of
sanitary arrangement, and Il cuisine un-
rivaled in auy $500 a day hotel in the
the country, the Heselton would appear
to be the ideal home of all those who are
seeking quietude from the turmoils of
the city or rest from business cares.
Mr.. Chandler has recently surrounded
himself with an entirely new retinue of
