They May Meet Again.

Dallas Texas, March 27.-The friends
of Corbett still believe that Jim Corbett
can whip Fitzsimmons, that the result
at Carson was an accident and that if
they meet again, Corbett will regain
the title of the Worlds champion.
And, it is said to be not at all un-
likely that the two may face each
other once more in the ring. Fitzsim-
mons has stated emphatically that he
will not fight again, but nevertheless it
is believed that he will do so. This is
the opinion of Dan Stuart who says the
probabilities are that they will meet in
the near future The fight, if it takes
place, will be for side purse of $50
600 or more and the prospects are good
that the money will be posted.

Sca,e is Almost Over.

Benton, May 27.-(SpeciaD.-The
story reported in the evening papers
regarding the scarlet fever and diph-
iberia epidemic in this town was some
what delayed. The fact was reported
in the Journal, last week. The Jour
nal then stated that there had been
three deaths in town and such was the
fact, but there have been no deaths
since. In all there were eight cases.
Those now ill are recovering, and DR..
Goodrich of Waterville, who has the
cases in hand, says that all hands will
be out and about in three days. AT the
breaking out of the trouble every pre-
caution was taken to prevent an cpl
demic of any considerable proportions
and in doing so the schools were Or
dered closed. This was stated in the
journal at the time and from that
time all the sick ones have been i'm
proving. The story was more than a
week late.

UNITED STATES TAKES KING.
He Is Again Arraigned and Released on Bail
Of $500.

Boston, May 27.-Albert M. King, who

to United States Deputy Marshal Wa

United States Commissioner Fiske AMI
arraigned on the charge of embezzling
$50. $40, while acting as an agent of the
Boylston National Rank.
He pleaded NOT guilty and was held
under $500 bonds for the grand jury
which meets on June 4. He furnished
bonds and was released, his father
and H. T. Whitman being surety The
complaint against King was made by
Inspector John Harris of headquarters
and charges the embezzlement of $780,
94035.
King was held for the grand jury in
the municipal court last Tuesday on
the charge of violating state statute.
This complaint will not be prosecuted,
however. as District Attorney Stevens
decided that the alleged offense came
under the United States statute and
that the case, therefore, was not In
his jurisdiction.

der which the King charge is framed,
provides for a penalty of not less than
five years imprisonment

POSSIBLE BUT DOUBTFUL,
The Aroostook Electric Road Yarn Cause!
Laughter in that Section.

Foxcroft. May 27.-(SpeciaD.-Reade
of a certain evening paper were aston
ished to learn that IL syndicate or some
one had in contemplation the scheme OF
an electric railroad in the heart of the
Aroostook wilderness. by means of which
the section of the primeval forest laying
between Chamberlain and, Eagle lakes
would be laid bare, to the world. This
WAS an aStoniSher from start to finish
and people began to guess at the object
of such an undertaking. so -HD
1t was news to anyone in this section
of the State and thinking that further
details might be secured regarding the
matter. the Journal has interviewed
Landlord Dennen of the kineO house,
Moosehead lake. and Chief Engineer Bur-
pee of the Bangor d Aroostook Railroad.
Neither of the gentlemen had ever
heard of such scheme and wondered as
much as others at the object of such a
road. 1t might be useful in hauling out
a few deer and fish. but beyond that it
would be of but little service to anyone.
