Crew of the Veto Made Forty Mile voy-
age in Small Boat.

Captain R. Ladd of the schooner Veto,
and the two men comprising his crew,
arrived here in the ships boat at II
O'Clock Friday evening minus their ship
and everything on board. The vessel sank
1lve miles northeast by east from Boon
Island Friday morning at 4 O'Clock, and
after 40 mile voyage in small ship 8
boat, sailing when they could, rowing
when the wind refused to blow, the men
reached here Friday evening, and Cap
tain Ladd told the following story Satur-
day morning: "Our schooner, the Veto of
Thomaston, Me-, loaded with coal at Wee
hawken June 80, and was bound for
Friendship, Me. Between Cape Natick
and Boon Island she sprung aleak. We
were not carrying very much sail and as
near as / can determine a plank must
have come off. We all turned to and
manned the pumps, but could not prevent
the water gaining upon us SO rapidly that
we saw we should Lave to abandon our
ship and take to the boat. We did this
and not any too soon for about ten min
utes later down she went. This was about
five miles northeast by east from Boon
Island. We rowed into Cape Porpoise and
rowed and sailed from there to Portland,
arriving about IL O'Clock Friday evening.
My crew consisted of two men, Charles
Ladd of Islesboro, Me-, and Sewall Per-
kins of Brooklyn, N. Y. We had for a
cargo 145 tons of coal, half stove and half
egg. do not think there is any insur-
ance on the vessel. J. A. Creighton g.
Co., of Lewiston, are agents for her.
The Veto was built in Thomaston in
| 1866. Her gross tonnage is 97.6S and her
net $3.50. She is y feet long, % feet

windham VIII Try Again for the Rail
road.

Windham's railroad war is still wag1ng.
Even the boycott of the fish peddler and
the tradesman, who most vigorously
worked and GRATED against the scheme to
pledge the towns credit to the Westbrook,
Windham & Harrison trolley line, has
not scared off the opponents of the
project
Believing that there had been change
of sentiment since the two stormy town
meetings of last month, when the rail
road projectors were so sadly turned
down, some of their sympathizers recent
" decided that it would be wise plan to
have another town meeting called to
again vote on the question of loaning the
towns credit to the extent of $50, ZOO.
They figured that under the provisions of
the company's charter the matter could
be voted on q second time in spite of the
statutory stipulation that having once
voted on such a question it shall not
again be brought up, except at annual
town meeting.
varied somewhat and the usual length of
notice given in the petition to the select
men. 1t was taken for granted that the
new meeting would squander more or less
valuable time in getting over the question
of whether it's calling was legal, but the
petitioners did not seem to anticipate
any hitch so far as the selectmen were
concerned
A surprise came last week, when the
selectmen refused to grant the prayer of
the petitioners, basing their refusal on
the claim that to call such a meeting
would be an open violation of the statutes.
The law provides that in case the select
men of a town unreasonably refuse to call
a town meeting, at the request Of GER
tain number of citizens, the petitioners
may apply to justice of the peace and he
may issue a warrant for a meeting. This
course the petitioners are following, the
preliminary notices having been issued
the time of notice.
The selectmen have not acted without
legal advice. They claim that their re-
fusal to call the meeting cannot be con-
strued as being unreasonable" within
the meaning of the law, inasmuch as the
petition asked them to act in direct viola
ton of State statute.
1t may be set down as more than
probable that when the citizens of Wind
ham again take day off to discuss the
electric trolley possibilities the meeting
will be so much hotter than those two
lively sessions of June that a fully
equipped circus, with three rings, two
menageries and double Uncle Tom IS
Cabin Company thrown in, wouldn't be
q circumstance compared with it.
The men whose capital is backing the
enterprise are trying to keep up an ap-
pearance of Indifference as to what the
town of Windham is doing, but some of
them have suffered serious attack since
the selectmen sat down on the move for a
new meeting.

MISSING GIRL.
Her Relatives Have Called for Folio
Aid.

The Daughter of Wealthy Boston Man
She Left Her Home Over Two Months
Ago.
Boston, July 10.-Mrs. James Steven
son, mother of Grace, the young girl who
has been missing from Brookline more
than two months called at police head
quarters this morning.
Her purpose in going to police head
quarters was to inform Chief Inspector
Watts that she had decided to accept the
advice which he gave her q short time
after her daughters disappearance. At
that time Mrs. Stevenson called on the
home. She wanted advice. The chief in
formed her that the best way to trace her
daughter was through the newspapers, to
print circulars and have them distributed,
and to interest as many people as possible
in the search.
At that time Mrs. Stevenson was very
much opposed to notoriety. She didn't
even want hint to reach the newspapers,
and asked the chief to keep what she had
told him q secret. She left with the
understanding that nothing would be
said about the case.
Grace Stevenson kissed her father at the
family mansion, 147S Beacon street, in
Brookline, on Moneay morning, April 26,
and her last beseeching words were:
"You'n come home tonight, sure,
papa?'
He said he would. He had been spend
| ing Sunday under the same roof with his
wife and children and was about to go to
his business in Boston
| James Stevenson kept the promise he
made to his daughter. Between and
o'clock in the evening of that same Mon
day he was driven by his son into the
yard. But he did not get out of the car
riage. There was renewal of certain
| domestic unpleasantness. The millionaire
real estate operator ordered the boy to
turn the horse and hasten back to the
city.
| An hour or an hour and half later,
Grace, the girl who is said to have been
the idol of the father, departed from the
house. She told her mother that she
would be absent but a short time. Wear
| ing slippers and without any extra supply
OF clothing, leaving behind her watch
and jewels, her pocket book practically
empty, she went away and has never
been heard from since.
Mr.. Stevenson declares that he did not
know that his daughter was to leave
home; that he did not induce her to take
any such action; and that he does not
now where she is at the present time.
The publicity which has already been
given the mysterious disappearance of
Miss Stevenson has produced some clews
! In the case.
Last night a telegram was sent to Mrs
Stevenson from Nashua, N. H., telling
her that it was believed her daughter was
in that city. The message was sent by
Mr.. Cummings of 10 Mulberry street,
Nashua.
At O'Clock this afternoon another tip
came over the telephone. 1t was from a
physician of Boston, who said that he be-
lieved he had in formation which would
show that Miss Stevenson was in the city
at the present time. Mr. Stevenson has
not yet investigated the clew, and does
not desire to divulge the name of the in
| forlnant until he has made an investiga-
ton.
