BOWDOIN VARSITY CRIPPLED.
Capt. MouIton III and May Not Play in
Colby Game, Wednesday.

Brunswick, Me-, Nov. 2.-(SpeciaD.-
The Bowdon Varsity lined up for it's
last practice before the Colby game.
this afternoon. Owing to the heavy
rains of yesterday and today, the ath-
letic field was in rather poor condition,
and for that reason the work of the
team was somewhat slower than usual.
If the rain continues, Bowdoin will be
severely handicapped in Wednesdays
contest, for Colbys superior weight
and the style of it's play cannot fail to
tell upon the lighter Bowdoin team
when the gridiron is in a muddy con-
dition
Bowdoin's plucky little captain,
Charles D. Moulton. has been i'll for the
past few days, and there is a possibili-
ty that Ted" Stanwood will be obliged
to play the position of quarter back in
his place. The greatest interest in the
result of Wednesdays game is shown
by the entire undergraduate body, ana
large delegation of Bowdoin students
will accompany the team to Waterville.
Although nothing absolutely definite
has been decided with regard to lineup
of the Bowdoin team, tomorrow, it will
be, in all probability. as follows: Yea
zie, right end; Merrill, right tackle:
Spear, right guard; Jennings, center;
Cloudman, left guard; Albee, left tack
lie; Gregson, left end: Moulton or
Stanwood, quarterback; Mcmillan,
right halfback; Ives or Clarke, full
back; Kendall or Merrill, 1900, left
halfback.
Bowdoin will play Tufts at College
Hill, Saturday. Nov. 6, and a second
game with Colby will be played at
Brunswick, Saturday, Nov 13.

RESIGNATION NOT ACCEPTED.
Pres. PieroIa Of Peru. Investigating Certain
Charges Against One minister.

Lima. via Galveston, Texas Nov. g.
President Pierola has not yet accepted
the resignation of the cabinet, which was
rendered last week, on account of vote
of censure which the Congress proposed
to pass upon the government because of
its failure to prOmugate various meas
ures passed by the special session of Con-
gress, last year.
The exact reason for the Presidents de-
lay in accepting the resignation has not
vet been made public; but it probably is
due to an accusation brought against the
minister of finance of illegally disposing
of funds which, under the law, should
have been applied in the payment of pub
lie Indebtedness.

PERSONS
WESSON, Miss, Dec. 9-One Of the
most atrocious murders on record In the
south was committed last night in Simp-
son county, this state, twenty miles
from here. Brown Smith, farmer, and
q son of ex-Representative Edward
Smith, left his family at his home in
the country to go to town for shopping
purposes, thinking of no possible danger
for them. This morning, when he re-
turned, he found his wife and five child
rem lying in their own blood and ap-
parently all dead. An alarm was raised
Immediately and the entire neighbor-
hood turned out to hunt for the perpe-
traitor Of the foul and bloody crime.
There being no telegraphic connection.
details Of the murder came in slowly,
but 1t is reported this evening that one
Of the little girls, supposed this morning
to have been dead, has revived enough to
tell what she knew Of the occurrences
She said she knows the man who COM
mitted the deed, that 1t was a negro,
and described him. A posse is now on
the track Of the murderer, and there is
great probability that he will be ap-
pretended before morning, and there is
little doubt Of his meeting speedy JUS
tice when caught, without waiting for
the formality of a court.
1t is learned that Mrs. Smith and the
other four children are dead. Sheriffs
McNair of Lincoln and Thompson of
COpish counties have gone to the scene
of the murder, each with a pack of
trained bloodhounds.

STILL CLINGS TO LIFE
HIT DEATH Is EXPECTED AT
ANY MOMENT
The Presidents Mother Grows Slowly
Weaker and May Not Live
Until Morning

CANTON, O., Dec. 9.-The day mas
been almost devoid OF incident IN tne
room of Mrs. Mckinley, who still lin
gers at the point of death. Her rest
during the day seemed a trifle less peace
ful than heretofore and at times she
experienced trouble in breathing the
trouble being accompanied by apparent
distress in the throat, the direct EVIL
dence of which was an ominous rattle.
This evening President Mckinley
thought his mother had failed very rap
Idly during the day and she was so weak
that the end could not much longer De
DELAYED. and he was prepared for disso-
luton at any moment. He has been at
the bedside nearly all day. He took
few hours rest this morning, and with
his brother, Abner, took short walk
during the day. The patient has taken
no nourishment since Monday and has
not even taken a sup of water for many
hours. That she retains life so long
without any nourishment Is the most
surprising feature of the case.
At 1880 tonight Mrs. Mckinley is still
living but very weak. Otherwise there
was no change in her condition when the
doctor left her. probably for the last time
tonight. He had some hope of her sur
viving the night, but said the case had
reached that point where 1t was impossi-
BILE to make any prediction with the
slightest assurances Of certainty. The
family is very apprehensive and enter
tain only slight hopes of the patients
surviving the night. They fear re-
lapse at any moment, which in the pres
ent condition could scarcely be sur
Wived. The patient lies quietly and at
times shows scarcely any evidence of
animation.
At o'clock everything was quiet at the
Mckinley residence. The family had
evidently retired for the night.
