MAINE is SNOWBOUND.
Storm Has Ragged Without In
corruption for Several Days.

Bangor, Me, March 3.-Not for II
years has Maine been visited by such a
snow storm as has been raging during
the last few days. It began showing in
this city and north of here on the aft
ernoOn of Sunday, and for five days it
has kept at it. There have been no
trains and several remote villages are
running short of food. At Ashland,
Aroostook county, there was a fall of
81 inches, the greatest amount ever
known in that section. In scores of
places the snow drifted so high against
the houses that no attempt was made
to shovel it away, and tunnels were dug
out to the street.
There is between seven and eight feet
of snow on a level in the region around
Ashland, Pressure Isle, and Fort Fair
field The condition of things in that
country is becoming alarming. The
crews Of men and horses in the lumber
camps are without supplies.
Bangor had no connection with the
MOosehead lake region for four days.
It took seven engines, three snow plOws,
two fange diggers, and a crew of more
than a hundred men three days and
three nights to dig through seven miles
of snow between Blanchard and Shir-
ley. The deep snow has given the
poachers a great opportunity to get in
their work in the game regions. A per-
son can walk up to a deer anywhere in
the forests, and as result there is
wholesale slaughter going on.

CRIMINAL OPERATION
Results in the Death of a Hiawatha
Girl at Denver.

Denver, March 3.-Louise Matthews,
the 23-year-old daughter of well
known physician of Hiawatha, Kan,
who would have graduated in the fore
most ranks at the West Denver high
school. died at AIS Monday morning,
and the body is awaiting a coroner's
inquest. Her death was due to a GRIM
inal operation. Her mother was with
her during the last few hours of her
life. Just who was the author of the
girls downfall is a mystery. A rigid
investigation will be made by the coro-
ner, assisted by the district attorney.
Two years ago Louise Matthews came
to Denver. Her mother and father were
divorced. Her father announced his in
tention of marrying again. This dis
pleased Louise and she left her Kansas
home. Three weeks ago she disappear
ed from her boarding place, on South
Fourteenth street, in this city. No one
knew where she was. She went to the
residence of Mrs. Smith at 2115 Champa
street. Mrs. Smith gave her all the at
tentiOn in her power. The condition of
the girl becoming alarming, a telegram
brought her father from Hiawatha. He
remained in the city one day and re-
turned home.
Mrs. Matthews. the girls mother, who
resides in Kansas City, was then nOti-
fed, and came at once and was con-
stantly at her daughters side. The
district attorneys office is in possess
sion of information concerning the case.

FOR GUYING GUESTS.
One K. q. Student Expelled and An
other Suspended.

Lawrence, Kan, March 3.-To the ex-
pulsion of T. Davenport Smith, the
Kansas university faculty added the
suspension of Fred Speak of football
fame, on a similar charge of ungentle-
manly conduct toward the visiting stu
dents at the oratorical contest.
Mr.. Smith won first place on delivery
at the local contest and has a large
number of friends who are praying for
his reinstatement after 80 days sus-
pension.
Chancellor Snow was present at the
state contest, and when he saw Smith
and others. who occupied a private box,
hanging out placards that would en-
barrass the speakers, he sent a note
asking them to desist.
Smith, who says he did not under
stand the order, became the holder with
his placards and, as the Washburn or
ator was speaking, he nourished one
which read: ''Washburn, two blocks
from the insane asylum" There was a
similar placard for each outside ora
tor.

President of the Gotham Police
Board Finds Order in the
TenderIOin.

New York, March IA cabman drove
through the Tenderloin early this morn
ing, squirting a block or two, then slow
ing up, then stopping. He looked alert,
excited, yet more sly than noisy. not at
all though he was seeking passengers.
But he had no one in his cab. To pedes-
TRANS his antics were most amazing.
Other things happened that divided at

spoke No one could hear what the two
said. but the way the policeman, from in
dolent indifference became alert, like the
cabman, increased the wonder. Then as
the cabman drove on, looking back, the
policeman also looking back, began to
rush about wildly. He would dart into
a saloon here, run up to woman there,
while the saloon either closed or became
quiet, and the woman fitted down to the
next street corner and disappeared up
side street. The pedestrians were stand
ing about now with open mouths. The

PULLMAN RENTS CHEAPER.
Company Will Seek to Have the Many
Vacant Houses Occupied by
Work1nen.

Chicago, March 3.-Rents in Pullman
are to be reduced from to % per cent.
At the town agents office it was said
yesterday that some of the poorer houses
in the south end of the town will be re-
duced 81 a month, but the better class of
residences will remain about the same.
'sAt no time since the exodus of renters
during and after the great strike of 1894"
said a we'll informed person, have there
been so many empty house. And this.
too despite the fact that there are more
men in the car shops today than at any
time since they were opened. The cause
is the excessive rents charged by the COM
pany. As a result WOrkmen in Pullman
live at Roseland. KensingtOn, RiverdaIe,
Harvey or wherever cheap rents can be
had near at hand"
It was this condition. the speaker said.
which the new head of the company,
Robert T. Lincoln, sought to rectify.
The general sentiment among the resi-
dents Of Pullman is that the theory of
rents has been based upon the good pay
ing for the bad. The claim is made that
every month renters move out of their
houses and away from Pullman owing
from one to twelve months rent. These
people are never molested, and the loss
must be made up somehow It is stated
further than eviction is unknown
thing in Pullman.
