Peabody, Mass, Dec. Mrs. Mary
X. Hurley was arr2fgned before Jus

numbering her daughter. Mary She

stated that she would waive examina-
tion. The witnesses present We're Med
zeal Examiner Foster and his assistant
DR.. Tucker. Chief of Police Wiggfn
Officer Carlin and Lawrence Walters.
The witness was Cnief of Police Wig

statement that she killed her daughter
with a boot-iac
The woman was held without bail to
await the action of the grand jury, and
later in the afternoon, was taken to
Salem jail. Had the law permitted she
would have been committed to the in
sane asylum. but previous hearing in
a criminal court is necessary before the
person charged with a capital crime
can be admitted to an asylum.
The theory of the government is that
the woman, in a fit of maniacal fury
cnoked the girl after clubbing the boy
into insensIbility. The boy is expected
to recover. and may be able to tell how
the murder occurred.
The funeral of the girl will take

pENOBSCOT ICE ALL SOLD.
Not for Years Have Houses Been Cleaned Ou
so Entirely.

Bangor, Me-, Dec. 2.-With the eX-
ceotion of about 400 tons in the Con-
solidated houses, better known as
Ayers. the ice houses on the Penop-
scot are all empty. The schooner VIM.
Marshall is expected in Bangor within
q few days, having been delayed by
the storm. and she will take the re-
mainder of the ice to New York.
Not for years have the houses been
cleaned out so entirely as this season.
Some firms have been sold out for sew
eral months and have shipped cargoes
from the other houses. The local COM
bine. known as the Penobscot Ice Co.,
and composed of the Orrington, Union
Stetson and Sargent houses have been
very successful, this season, and have
received good prices for all their car
goes. 1T is said that their last lots
brought 50 ton.
The firms outside the combine, so
the ice men say, did not get such hlSh
prices and sold for as low as 80 cents.
All the dealers expect to MI thelf
houses, this winter, and they are mop
ing for another season as good as the
summer of 1898.

When the history of Paine's
celery compound is studied it is easily
understood why its popularity is so
enormous. Paine's celery compound is
the world-famed discovery of Prof.
Edward Elisha Phelps. M D., LII. D.,
professor of materia medica at Dart
mouth College. Prof. Phelps unusual
talent quickly established his reputa-
tion and prominence among his profess
sional brethren
He was fully alive to the dangers
attendant upon the American way of
living. and he sought diligently for
some commons remedy that would
cure the common evils, which, under
one name and another, result from an
unhealthy state of the nervous system.
His labors were crowned with glorious
success. and he gave to the medical
profession the celebrated remedy
which has won Worldwide fame as
Paine's celery compound.

WAS FORMERLY THE BIBB.
Steamer Pentagoet Was Revenue Cutter on
the Great Lakes.

New York, Dec. 2.-The steamer
Pentagoet was formerly the United
States revenue cutter Bibb For many
years she did service on the Great
Lakes, with headquarters at Oswego
Officers of the revenue cutter service
who are stationed here declare that
they have been expecting for a long
time to hear Of some disaster from
this vessel.
"The old Bibb." said one officer to-
night, had long passed her useful
ness when the government gave her
up: that was back in 1890.
I'm 1885, said this same officer, Il
was an officer on the Bibb when she
was stationed on Lake Ontario. and |

generally throughout the ship decay

THE Bibb was a wooden craft Her
boiler was very light contrivance.
and her engine the simplest sort of an
affair. The ship was really only tit
for light cruising work.
In 1880 a board of survey was held
on her at Ogdensburg, and she was
condemned. The government stripped
her of all fittings and sold her at pub
lie auction. Two Cleveland men
bought her in for $500. They gave her
a coat4 4Of paint and took her down
through the st. Lawrence canal.

STILL ONE CHANCE.
But All Hope is Against the
Steamer Pentagoet.
Due at Bangor from New York Last
Sunday--Where is She?
A Staunch Craft. Well Manned But She Faced
Terrible Storm.

Bangor, Me-, Dec. 2.-Although there
is still good chance for the Manhat-
tan Steamship Cos. New York& Ban
gor steamship Pentagoet coming safe
ly into port, Capt. Otis Ingraham of
the Boston & Bangor Steamship Cos.
steamer City of Bangor, who is a twin
brother to the master of the missing
steamer, seems to have given up hope.
Last night letter came from Cen
eral Manager Newcombe, saying that
it had been agreed between him and
Capt. Ingraham, Thursday, Nov. "a,
the day before the Pentagoet sailed
from New York, that for the remand
er of the winter season the inside
course was to be followed north of
Cape Cod-that is, the steamer was to
hant to Portsmouth.
Now it is argued that Capt. Ingra-
ham, when he got up with the Cape
last Saturday and saw what the
weather was going to be, he decided
not to hug the north shore, but to turn
and run to sea, for the steamer GER
tainly did not go into any harbor on
the Massachusetts coast, nor attempt
to do SO, nor was she wrecked any
where in that vicinity, as there has
been no sign of any wreckage from
her at any point, and a careful look
out has been kept up.
When the Pentagoet left New York
she had on board 1S5 tons of general
cargo, 70 tons of which was for Ban
gor, and several merchants here are
reported to have lost heavily in holi-
Gay goods, etc, in case the steamer is
lost Caldwell Sweet, wholesale drug
gist, had about $1,000 worth of goods
on board.
The officers and crew were about as
follows. this list having been carefully
corrected both here and in New York:
Master, Orrs Ingraham, Rockland.
Me.
First officer, George Webster Rock

Second officer, C. II. Poland, st.

Seamen. or deckhands, Patrick Clay
ton and Peter Little, Bangor; Peter J.
Bowling, New York; A. Olsen, New
York; Bert Lanphor, Bucksport, Me.
Total of 10 men.
1t is said by old sailormen here that
the Pentagoet, if she succeeded in get
ting to sea, and thus escaping any lee
shores. could stay afloat in any wealth
er that ever blew, and as there IS
every indication that she did get away
from Cape Cod, the old salts are
rather expecting to hear from her far
to the southward-perhaps as far
down as Norfolk, Va.
