Letter From Porto Rico.

The following is an extract from a
letter received by Rev. j. NJ. Robert
son, Rector of Emmanuel Church,
from his brother, Lieut.. J. r. Robert
son, Adjutant Of the Sixteenth Regi
ment, now in Porto Rico. 1t is dated
Coamo, August 27.
81 get along here well-have my
own way; and am treated with respect
full consideration, even though others
get fits; but am anxious now to get
home-need to be home for office work
and q political campaign, but we have
not the least idea when we shall be
ordered home. We would like to have
had another fight or two before going
home, because it does not seem to us
as if we had any campaign at all,
though we had stiff fight, August
9Th. We made a tremendous march
that day and fooled the Spaniards who
thought we would block one road. but
instead we crossed it and forced our
way to the second road beyond, reach
ing there just as the Spanish were
starting for Aybonito. We went at
them like so many Indians, so that in
just one hour and ten minutes after
the first shot they put up white flag
and surrendered. During the fight |
picked up rifle and fired for half
hour, taking careful aim at each in
dividual, and, suppose, missing each
one.
''The rainy season is on-frequent
rains-a dozen a day-then a few min
utes red hot sun. Must trench my
tent and get it ready for floods.
''The people here seem to think that
it will be to their advantage to be-
long to the United States Visited

Sunday. 1t appears to be two hundred
years old, is made much like fort
very massive and plain in architecture

Death of Mail Agent McNarney

Thomas McNarney, father of our
townsman J. P. McNarney, died at
Coudersport last Saturday, aged 70
years, after a short illness. His re-
mains were brought to Emporium for
interment in the Newton cemetery on
Monday. Mr.. McNarney was one of
the Oldest and most popular postal
clerks on the P. & E. r. r., having
been continuously in the service for
thirty years During the past few
months he had been assigned to Coud-
ersport and Port Allegany run, but the
warm weather was too much for him.
He leaves a wife and four children to
mourn his death. We regret we are
unable to do justice to the memory of
this excellent gentleman, for whom we
always.entertained the greatest respect.
His family were all at his bedside ex-
cept one son who is in camp in Georgia
and unable to attend the funeral,

The steamers st. Louis, st. Paul,
Yale and Harvard, which have been
taken out OF commission, were used 1873
days and cost the government 81, $780,
600. Instead of putting the ships in
first-class condition again as per agree
ment the navy has given the owners a
lump sum for the work of restoration.
The amount is believed to be $4,000
for each ship. While the Yale and
Harvard We're in use as army trans
ports it is said they were disfgured in
a shocking manner by the volunteers,
who whitfield their time away cutting
their names on the fine mahogany
woodwork. Nearly all the decorations
will have to be replaced.

IN THE STARRY HEAVENS.
Phenomena Of interest to the Astrono-
ners These March Evenings.

Those who take delight in studying
the heavens, either as beginners or as
adepts in the science Of the heavenly
bodies, will find a number of very inter
esting phenomena in the sky this
month.
The amateur can easily locate Jupiter
as during the early evening he is the
most conspicuous object in the eastern
sky, excepting only the moon. Jupiter
has no rival in brilliancy at present, nor
will he have until the fair Venus makes
her appearance as the evening star n
the late spring and early summer. On
the last Friday of this month, Jupiter
will be in opposition, as the astronomers
say, which really means that upon that
day the planet will be in the best posi-
ton for observation.
Jupiter is of most interest to those
who have not large telescopes at their
command, because of his satellite sys-
tenn. He has FIVE moons, one OF which,
however, is so small that 1t requires the
best of instrumental aid to see 1t, and
indeed has only then been discovered
about six years. The other four are
easy objects in a good field glass, and
one or two may, under favorable cir
cumstances, just at present, be seen
with an opera glass.
The evening star is just now near one
of the most celebrated double stars in
the heavens. 1t is known as Gamma
Virgins, and is the bright star to the
left and above as Jupiter rises in the
east these March evenings. To sepa-
rate Gamma Virgins into it's compo-
nents, a telescope is necessary, The
two components are of about the same
magnitude now, but may be Slightly va
riable. They are both white stars.

KNEW ONE OF THE SAILORS.
A Local Barbsr Used to Go to School
With One Of the Men of the
Maine crew,

While a Spy man was getting his GUS
tomary afternoon shave at Golfers bar
Der shop, Wednesday, George Harden,
one of the knights Of the mug and razor
establishment told something about
Charles f. Just, one of the score of col
ored men who lost their lives upon the
Inflated Maine.
mot Charley Just" said Harden as
he lifted the razor from the chin of his
customer and looked over to fellow
barber who was reading from one of the
daily papers list of the colored men on
the Maine who had been either wounded
or killed by the explosion. But Har-
den soon recovered his composure and
said in response to a question:
Did | know Charley Just? Well, |
should say 1 did. I'm sure it's the one
| knew, for his address is given in
Charleston just where he used to live
when was there some fifteen years ago.
| had not seen him for a good many
years, but If he had walked into this
shop today 1 would have recognized
him out of a thousand
1T was just about sixteen years ago
that / first remember seeing the poor
fellow. We were then school boys and
were going to school they used to call
"Old Man Boards school," on Cum
mlngs street in Charleston. Charley was
couple of classes behind me, but as
we lived pretty near to each other I
knew him probably better than any
other fellow in the school,
Charley was a great boy. More than
once we have been off playing hockey
together. You see, it was a private
school, seventy-five cents month,
think was the price of tuition, and if a
boy was not there a whole month, why
he just paid for the time he did go, and
no questions were asked. We used to
figure it so as to be off about a week
every month, and the IS cents we saved
by not going to school, while our par
ents thought we were, went farther with
us than as many dollars would today
Charley always liked the sea. and
said he was going to be a sailor when
he grew up. When l left Charleston
and came north, rather lost track of
him, and had been told he was following
the sea, but 1 never dreamed he had
lost his life on the unfortunate
Maine"

HUNTING FOR MUELLER.
The North Sydney Suspect Not the
Brookfeld Murderer.

The latest suspect taken into custody
in the belief that he was Paul Mueller,
the man wanted for the Newton MUIR
ders in North Brookfeld, like all the
others, has turned out not to be the
man wanted. This last suspect was
held at North Sydney. Cape Breton, and
Wednesday photographs with the mans
description, were received by Detective
Murray. Deputy Sheriff Tarbe1l called
at the office Of the state police and in
spected the pictures and agreed with
Detective Murray that the man at
North Sydney resembled the suspected
murderer even less than any that have
yet been taken into custody. Detective
Murray later in the day wired the au-
thorities at North Sydney that they
held the wrong man.
Chief of Police brennan has issued a
circular, which, like those sent out by
the state police and Brookfield authori-
ties, will be distributed over the coun-
try, The circular from the chief of the
Worcester police. however, differs from
the general run Of such literature. 1t is,
to say the least, a novelty, and for that
reason may attract attention. 1t was
impossible to get photograph of Muel
Ter, but Chief brennan has done the
next best thing, and headed the circular
with cuts of the murdered family. How
these cuts will help to locate the muir
-derer is unknown, but the chief hopes
sympathy and interest In the case will
be aroused by the sight Of pictures OF
the three people, and that the officers,
while their sympathy is warm, will look
about them more diligently. A good
part of the circular is given to a re-
hearsal Of the crime, and description
of Mueller similar to that published in
the other circulars is printed. The chief
received a proof of the circular We'd
nesday night, and today will mail the
circular all over the country.
