COMPANY NOT A SUCCESS.

Bangor, January l2-Bangor's recently
organized military company is said to be
in bad way.
Company 6 has about sixty enlisted
men. Fifteen of them are students of the
University of Maine and Joined the Ban
gor company, SO that they might have q
varied experience in military affairs.
There is some trouble in the company,
but what it is the members have not been
able to learn. 1t is fact that there are
two "sets" and it is limited that they do
not ,''hitoh" together at all.
When the company was organized Stan
ley p. Denneut of Bangor was made it's
captain. Up to and including the time
of the muster the new captain manifested
considerable interest in the affairs of his
company, but since that time. so the
members say, he and others in the conf
psny have not taken the interest in it
that they should. There is large num-
her of the members who have not been at
drill more than once since the muster,
which was held last August.

WESTON FAILURE BIG ONE.
No Such Financial Disaster Ever Visited
That Part of State.

Madison. January 12.-The b. T. j.
Weston failure is the heaviest individual
failure that has taken place in this part
of the county and is the most severely
felt of anv in New England for the reason
that there are SO many people who, by
sioning notes with Mr.. Weston or his
sureties, had become involved to the ex-
tent of their entire property. 1t is stated
TODAY that Mr.. Weston's liabilities are
SIPS. s4S, of which $46,425 is secured.
The total assets are S19,625. In addition
to the liabilities he is further liable to
the extent of his interest in the firm of
Weston & Emery, which is also insolvent
with liabilities of $10,60s with assets un-
known, the committee not having fin
ished the work of stock taking. The
extent of the insolvency of T. D. Westo
is not yet known as his accounts will not
be complete until Friday. Already it
has reached $4,000. There are other
persons who will commence insolvency
proceedings or endeayor to compromise
with their creditors. Many people have
bought land of the Westons and built
houses upon it having warrantee deeds.
They have since learned that Mr.. Weston
only owned a half interest in it and they
fear that the financial difficulties may
affect their titles and they will loose
their homes.

WOOL MEN IN BOSTON.

Boston, January 12.-Wool manufact-
urers from all parts of the country were
at the Brunswick this afternoon and eve
ming attending the a3d annual session of
the national association of wool manu-
facturers. The association includes about
125 of the leading wool manufacturers of
the United States, although the number
of mills represented is considerably in
excess of these figures, as some of the
members represent mills. Ex-Lieut.
Gov. VIM. H. Halle Of Springfield, presi-
dent of tbs association, presided at the
business meeting. After the executive
session, officers were chosen, or rather
re-elected as follows: President, ex
Lieut.. Gov. Haile; secretary, S. N. D.
North: treasurer, Benjamin Phipps.
Secretary North read his annual report
showing q marked improvement in bust
ness conditions the past year. although
this Improvement il not as great as
some may imagine, and the state OF the
manufacture is yet far from satisfactory
to all. w. j. Battison, agent of the a.
ISOLATION, presented his report, and that
of treasurer Benjamin Phipps was also
read. The report shows that while the
association has accomplished much in
the past year. it is necessary to make
further efforts to increase it's member
ship.

Treasurer--Miss II. M. Putney.
Miss May S. Morrill, spoke most enter
tainingly of the reforms that had taken
place in China the past year, notably
among the women and young girls in the
unbinding of their feet. She spoke also
of the advance made among the
women along spiritual lines.
MIS-. Carter gave DrleI resume or tne
work done by the Woman's Board and
of the great spiritual awakening in many
of the foreign countries.
Mrs. Hack followed with brief remarks
on some of the lessons gained from the
year work. Even though the year had
been called one Of the hardest years ever
known by the various missionary board S
its lessons were most important. They
had taught the people of heather lands
self reliance, and with self reliance had
come greater enthusiasm and zeal for the
work which they were beginning to feel
was their very own.

MURDERED HIS FRIEND.
Dollar and a Half Debt Leads to the Fatal
Shooting.

Boston, January 12.-Driyen to despera-
ton over trivial debt of $3.50 for rent,
Joseph W. Towle. 50 years old, OF ooo
Harrison avenus, tonight assaulted
friend who had promised to aid him ana
was shot and instantly killed. John M
Gordon, 81, living at 904 Harrison ave-
nue., did the shooting, by his own comics
sion, and is locked up on the charge OF
murder. Towle and his wife have LOT
several weeks been sharing the flat OF
James E. Gale, who is 70 years old, at
600 Harrison avenue, and, according to
the story told by Gordon, Towle was
threatened with election unless he paid
at once the 81. so that he owed for rent.
Gordon is employed as engineer In
wood working establishment on Wareham
street, and Iowle assisted him in caring
for the fire and removing ashes. Gordon
saws Towle told him this afternoon OF
his financial troubles and that he Wouid
be put out unless he could raise 0ne
money. Gordon told Towle he would see
what he could do for him later in the
evening. He went to supper ahoHt
o 'clook taking his revolver with him IN
tending to leave it at home, but forgot to
do 30. After supper he went to the store
of his grocer and borrowed 81. 80 which
he intended to give .Towle.
This he took to Towle's lodgings, ana
finding Mrs. Towle in another apartment
gave her the money. Then Gordon says
he went into the tenement occupied JOINT
ly by the Towles and aGale,s where ne
found Gale and Towle engaged in q serl !
Gus quarrel. He interfered to separate
them, when Towle turned upon him.
"Towie was much larger ana heavier
man than t. said Gordon, '.and was
very angry Seeing what took to be a
knife in his hand, and fearing for my
life, drew my revolver quickly and fired
two shots and he fell"
Gordon went to the police station, pc
fore the police were aware that q murder
had been committed, told his story and
surrendered himself. Officers were quick
| ly despatched to the Harrison avenue
house where Towle was found dead on
the kitchen floor, and Mrs. Towie was
still in the fat across the hall. She had
evidently been drinking, 1t is said, and
did not seem to know much about the
affair. Gale and Mrs Towle were both
taken to the station and held as wit
nesses. g
A post norton showed that only one
shot had taken effect, that one passing
through the nostril and penetrating the
brain. The body was removed later to
the morgue and an autopsy will be held

AssAssINs INDICTED.

Rio Janeiro, January IA great
sensation has been caused here by the
publication of the police report on the
conspiracy to assassinate President Moraes
on Novem Der last. It is clearly proved
that several attempts miscarried before
the one Of November last. The report
concludes with indicting twenty persons,
including Vice President Victorino
Persira, Captain Lopez Cruez of the
Brazilian navy, seven majors and
colonies, Senator Cordeiro, Deputies
Cicero, Guanahara, Barbosa, Lima,
Ireneo, Machedo, Torquato and Morecio
and the soldier Marcellino, who ex-
ecuted the crime. Glicerio continues
to be absent and the vice president is
still at large. 1t appears that he was in
close relations with Dioclecisno, who
directed the crime.
Rio Janeiro, January 12.-Dioclecisno
and Marcellino have made full con-
fession.
