Me-, Oct. 12.-(SpeciaD.- Another
threatening morning with clearing by
noon-prospects of bad day to start
with and an elegant afternoon and
crowd of about 5000 people.
The rain came down so heavy in the
morning that the officials decided to
add day to the fair and set all the
races one day ahead. That will cause
the races scheduled for Wednesday to
be trotted Thursday, and Thursday
races on Friday.
"A great many people who arrived on
the grounds after the weather had
cleared uo We're disappointed at the
postponement of the races, but it must
be remembered that when the post
oonement was decided on, it was rain
ing hard at Topsham and looked as
though it might continue all day.
The clouds cleared away by noon and
the people commenced to flock in by
hundreds. so that by 2 o'clock there
was big jam in all directions.
The events of the day were the I'M
finished 2.24 trot and pace, purse 5000.
and which required four more heats
and was won by Nellie Eaton; a spec

its moneys worth.
The tent shows and vendors of vhins

gan to smile and also to have about the
first gaze at the coin of the realm that
they had had. The merry -go-round

Kind of amusement goes everybody was
happy. The stage performers who

STILL REMAINS A MYSTERY.
Death Of Sarah Ware Of Bucksport Becomes
More Complicated Daily.

Bucksport, Me-, Oct. 12.-It is now y
days since the body of Sarah Ware
who had been missing for two weeks
was found in a remote pasture with
her skull fractured and a portion of
her jaw and cheek bones broken and
missing. 1t is generally conceded TO
be murder, but up to this date al
though continual search and investiga-
tons have been made, there has been
no arrests and no clue found, directly
duplicating any person in the case.
The deceased was a widow, So years
of age, practically homeless living
with an aged lady on the outskirts of
the village. On the evening of the 18th
ult., she called on friends half mile
distant. She left them at about 9
o'clock, presumably for home, and was
not seen alive afterwards. Robbery
has been alleged the motive of the
murderer. The deceased was known to
have in her possession some money
She always carried hand bag sup
posed to contain about $50, known to
have been paid her for domestic SER
vice.
Today, Detective Odlin of Lewiston,
engaged by town authorities on the
case, found $45 in bills in the trunk of
the deceased which with the balance
accounted for in various ways, shows
that Mrs. Ware had little or no money
with her on the night she met her
death. No other motive can be rea-
sonably assigned for the murder. The
theory of accidental death by wander
ing away while partially deranged and
dying from exhaustion or heart trouble
is somewhat strengthened by this dis
covery, but the wounds are unaccount-
ed for.
The case is more complicated than
ever. Detective Odlin has been at
work for several days, and a number
Of parties are under surveillance. Clues
are few and blind. The place of MUIR
der is not located and it is undecided
whether she was killed where she was
found or at some other point and car
ried there. There is much excitemen.
in Bucksport and interest is intense.

MAKE MORE TROUBLE
Spanish Peace Commissioners
Source Of Bother.
They Make Ridiculous Demands Re-

Americans Enjoy Their First Social Function
in Performance at Figaro.

Paris. Oct. 12.-The sitting, yester-
day. of the joint peace commissioners
of the United States and Spain was de-
voted. according to the Gaulois, to an
examination of the solution which 1t
is possible tosgive to two questions in
the protocol. The Philippine question,
the Gaulois adds, was discussed in
cidentally, the United States commits
sioners seeking to impose a system of
compensation for claims connected
with the entire group, by assuming
the debt. provided Spain guarantees
the Cuban debt.
The Spaniards, it further appears.
wish the United States to assume the
Cuban debt and to hand over to Spain
all the war material in Cuba and Porto
Rico. The discussion still according to
the Gaulois. was very animated. Judge
Day, OF the American commission, and
Senior Montero Rios, the president of
the Spanish commission, having receiv-
ed previous instruction from their re-
spective governments, the Americans
consider that they cannot discuss the
principles forming the base of the pro-
tocol. to which the Spaniards reply
that the protocol was signed at a crit
ical moment and under so pressing a
necessity that it cannot be considered
as expressing the sovereign will of a
free nation.
The American peace commission. at
8 o'clock. today, engaged in it's first
function outside of purely diplomatic
lines. The Figaro, at the hall of its
own building, entertained the members
OF both commissions with a stage per-
formance in which Coquelin, Loie Full
Ter and others took part. The Spanish
ambassador, Senior Leon Y Castillo, the
United States ambassador, Gen. Hor-
ace Porter. and about 600 representa-
tivess of the best Paris society were
present.
