barrels.
The tug "A. Dickey has returned from

On Tuesday night over 1900 weight of
large and fine mackerel was caught in
Church's pound. The mackerel averaged
two and one-half poun DIS.
The steamer Cum berland went out for
short trial trip yesterday. She will go
on the International Steamship COM
panys. route on Monday. The St. Croix
will be taken off the route on Monday
and put in condition for the summer
| business.
Purloining boats seems to be a favorite
amusement along the water front just at
present The cat boat Anna May, owned
by Hodgdon and Maggie, boat builders at
the end of Twitchell & Champlin' S wharf
has been minus quantity since Monday.
On Monday noon a young man dressed
IN ordinary working clothes of rather
slight build, tall and about twenty-five
years old, called on Mr.. Maggie and told
him he would like to hire sail boat to
go over to Fort Preble and back. He
said he would not be gone over two or
three hours but alas, che never came
back" Mr.. Maggie, of whom he hired the
boat, took no particular attention of the
young man as he appeared familiar with
sailing craft and did nothing to tie
suspicion. Nothing was thought of the
matter when the boat did not return
Monday night as parties frequently
change their minds, but when Tuesday
came and still no signs of the cat boat,
Mr.. Hodgdon thought it about time to
investigate. He accordingly laid the
matter before the city marshal who adj
vised him to get some postal cards printed
giving all the information possible upon
the subject, and he would see that they
were mailed to all the coast towns of the
state. This will be done and while it is
not inevitable that the thief will be cap
tured, Hodgdon and Mage are pretty sure
of eventually seeing their boat at her old
moorings. Mr.. Hodgdon th.lks that the
young man probably lived in some east
ern part of the state, and, having no
money, thought this would be an easy
way to reach his home. The Anna May
is a trim little cat boat sixteen feet long,
six feet beam, painted white outside,
with terra Gotta seats and blue bottom.
There were four hoops on the Esail and
her peaks very high The jaws on the
boom were of iron. The name Anna
May was in raised black letters on the
stern. The boat was formerly the proper
ty of Officer Frank Pillsbury of whom
Hodgdon and Maggie bought the boat If
any clew is obtained Officer Pillsbury
will probably investigate it as he could
tell the boat from a thousand, no matter
what efforts had been made to disguise it.

BETTER EVERY DAY.
Yellow Fever Is Letting Go It's Ma
Hgnant Grip.

New Orleans, Sept 21-There were
nine new cases of yellow fever reported
to the board of health at o'clock when
the days work of the physicians ended
There were, however. no deaths re-
corded, and the doctors all agreed this
evening that the situation was steadily
improving. The fever at present, in
stead OF developing into a. malignant
type, is as mild, if not milder, than
when it first appeared here, as witness
q cases in two days without single
death. The night inspectors of the
board reported that most of the cases
that had come under their observation
were progressing most favorabIy. There
are nearly 20 cases which give the at
tending physicians any reason for
alarm.
Some new places of infection are in
cluded in the cases reported today but
it is stated tonight that each one of the
patients is doing we'll
Up TO the present time there has been
little dread of the fever. Sporadic cases
are appearing about town, but the
board of health thus far has been en-
abied successfully TO quarantine each
case that has appeared. Confidence To-
cally is steadily increasing. There never
was large measure of apprehension
in New Orleans, but the city seems
that there is absolutely no danger of an
epidemic and that within a very brief
space of time, even before frost, the
physicians will have succeeded in COM
pletely stamping out the sickness A
number of cases were discharged yes
terday and today, and the total num-
Der Of cases receiving strict attention
today does not exceed ten. Half a
dozen towns To-Day by telegraph and ell
ephone notified the authorities here
that they had concluded to withdraw
their restrictions against the receipt of
freight from New Orleans. The circu-
lar issued by President Oliphant and
DR.. Carter of the marine hospital ser
vice seems to have reached all sections
of the state, and authorities in the
small towns seem to have decided that
there is no danger in receiving from
New Orleans properly fumigated
freight.

Nebraska Embezzler Seeks Escape
Through a TechnicaIitv.

Lincoln. Neb.. Sept. 21-Insisting that
under the statutes ne had committed no
crime, Eugene Moore, ex-state auditor
of public accounts today pleaded not
guilty to embeZZling funds to the extent
of S23,20S. Moore's contention IS that the
money. which consisted of insurance fees,
should, under the law. have. been paid to
the state treasurer instead of 20 him. and
that he is responsible only to the insur-
ance companies by which the money was
paid. This action was due TO an under
standing between the attorneys for the
prosecution and the defense, and the case
