NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.


John F. Daley, SO, died last week at
Claremont in apparent poverty, and bis
relatives we're greatly surprised to find that
he left property valued at $4,000 to $4,000.
He had always lived in Claremont with the
exception of ten years spent in Providence,
r. l., and it is said that he never missed a
days work in the latter city and never
went beyond the city limits. After his
burial his relatives found five bank books
showing deposit of $1,000 each, no inter
est having been demanded for over five
years. He also had a deposit of about
$1,000 in the Sullivan Savings institution Of
Claremont. Among the articles in his
room was belt containing $500 in bills,
and bag holding 500 in old silver coins.
In various trunks, closets, etc, were found
30 pairs of pants, between 80 and 40 shirts,
one dozen overcoats, all Of good quality, II
pairs of overshoes, II pairs of rubber
Sneakers" besides large quantity of I'M
derwear, collars, cuffs, etc. He owned a
small house and lot in Claremont. He al
ways lived quietly, but it is believed that
he never earned over 81 so day, and in
the past four years be had been in i'll health
and unable to work. The property will go
TO his cousins.

Serious Charge Against westmoreIand
Man.


Man.
Proctor Austin of Westmoreand and
Alstead, was up before Judge Holmes Sat
urday for a preliminary trial on the charge
of living with young woman under Is
years of age. The respon lent claimed to
have married the girl, one Marcia Bane, in
Massachusetts,, but, il proven, that fact
would not have affected the case, providing
her age had been found TO be under 16
years. After part of the evidence had
been taken ii became evident that the case
would have TO be continued for more in
formation, but the respondent decided to
waive examination. He was then bound
over in $1,000 TO the grand jury at the
April term of court, and in default of
bondsmen was taken TO jail. The select
men Of the town were interested in the
prosecution.

GOING ANY WAY.
Watsoa's Squadron Will Sail in a
Few Days.

Washington, June 2S.-All the members
of the cabinet were present at today s
meeting with the exception of Secretary
Day, who is out of the city. At it's con-
clusion it was stated that the work of
supplying Commodore Watson's squadron
with ammunition, coal and provisions
preparatory to its departure for Spain was
progressing satisfactory and that in all
probability the squadron would be ready
to sail in the course of the next four or
five days. 1t is the fixed intention of
the government to send the vessels to
Spanish horne waters whether Camara' s
fleet proceeds to the Philippines or not.
If it returns and comes within striking
distance of Commodore Watson's power
full squadron. it is confidently expected
by the President and the members of the
cabinet that it will be crushed. Should it
continue its course to Manila, Admiral
Dewey's squadron is regarded as abun-
dantly able to maintain the honors it
won on May l.
Nothing from Manila or Santiago was
read at the cabinet meeting today. A
member of the cabinet in speaking of the
general war situation said that every
thing was progressing to the satisfaction
of the administration.
