NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Charged wI,h setting a Fire.

The police sprung a surprise at Keene
Thursday by arresting eight young men,
more or less well known in town, for com
plicity in the fire which destroyed the Har-
per barn and contents on Church street at
the time of the unfortunate Dewey celebra-
tion three weeks ago. Three of them were
soon released and one more was discharged
at the preliminary hearing Friday, but the
other four, G. Fred Coburn, Robert Bow
man, George Dupaw and William Anger,
were committed to the county Jail to await
the findings of the grand jury. Lawless-
ness among the young element has un-
doubtedly been upon the increase at Keene
for several wears, as shown by numerous
incendiary fires upon Fourths of July and
similar occasions, and heretofore the police
have been unable to apprehend the offend

BOSTON SWELL CLUB
RAIDED BY POLICE
Millionaires of the Hub Taken to
Prison for Taking Part in a
Game of Poker

BOSTON, Oct S.-The Oxford Club,
formerly the Suffolk Club, a well-known
social organization was raided al mid
night Saturday and thirty-six of Boston's s
wealthiest and most prominent citizens
We're arrested on the charges of gambling
and being present where gambling was in
progress. The majority of these men
are millionaires, and there is the greatest
excitement to-day because of the strenu-
Gus efforts being made to keep the affair
from becoming public.
A steep game of poker was in progress
and $4,000 in chips were seized The men
arrested were taken to the station and
gave assumed names. They deposited
cash bail and We're all released None of
them will appear in court tomorrow
their bail will be forfeited and the case
will be hushed UP completely, as there
seems no doubt that sufficient influence
can be brought to bear to prevent prose-
cution by default. If this cannot be done
there will be an exodus of leading Bos-
tonians for fall pleasure resorts. The cli-
max to the sensation. however, is the an
nouncement that former prominent and
wealthy citizen of Boston committed sui
eide few days ago because he lost the
last remnant of his fortune, $1,000, in this
same club only few days ago.

JOSEPH MARTELLA
HAS DISAPPEARED
NJ any Believe RanCher
Was Murdered.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

POINT REYES STATION, Oct S.-The
name of Joseph Martella, a prominent
rancher and politician of this place. has
been added to the long list Of those who
suddenly disappeared. Martella has been
missing since last Monday under peculiar
circumstances, leaving his friends in
doubt whether he has gone of his own
accord, committed suicide or was muir
dered.
The missing rancher owns 1000 acres Of
land in this vicinity and is reputed to be
very wealthy. He has always taken a
keen interest in politics ana for years has
attended the Democratic county conven-
tions as delegate. 1t is alleged that for
some time he has had a good deal Of
trouble with his wife and consequently
has been in a gloomy frame of mind
Last Monday Martella went 10 San Ra-
fael, taking with him considerable coin,
and consulted an attorney as regards
winding up his financial affairs. No defin-
ite agreement was reached, but from thar
day to this nothing has been seen or
heard from the rancher. The affair was
reported to the authorities to-day, and q
deputy sheriff Will arrive tomorrow to
make an investigation.
Few incline 10 the suicide theory, and
fewer to the belief that Martela has
skipped" as no disposition has been
made of his property. The authorities
generally are favorable TO the murder
theory on account of che money the
rancher had on his person when ne dis
appeared.

Balsar arrived yesterday. 1t was on his
return from Cook Inlet in September that
he encountered a tidal wave caused by
an Alaska earthquake With thirty-six
others he took passage from Cook Inlet
on the schooner General Siglin. They were
about twenty-five miles off shore from
Cape Elizabeth at noon of September g.
Inc day was beautiful and the surface of
the sea was smooth and unruffled, when
suddenly a gigantic wave swelled up, ap-
parently from beneath the vessel, and the
calm waters We're instantly lashed into a
yeast of foaming crests. While the start
led passengers were watching the heaVing
waters one of them uttered a startled cry
and pointed eastward toward the shore.
Everybody looked and saw a tremendous
wave fully fifty feet high sweeping down
upon them with inconceivable rapldity.
Balsar seized his kodak and took hasty
snapshot at it. but the vessel had al
ready felt the influence Of the wave and
pitched over on her side thus IN a meas
ure spelling the picture.
The next instant the schooner was lifted
and to the startled passengers it seemed
as though they had commenced trip to
the sun. An instant later and they were
sinking again, down deep into the caver-
nous jaw of the waters. The rolling of
the ship was frightful and all the passen-
gers were compelled to seek refuge in
their cabins, although the captain bravely
stood at the wheel. One moment the yes
sci would be lying on her beam ends, the
next the bowsprit would make sudden
dive toward the bottom and the next the
taffrail would be taking a bath. Many
passengers thought their last hour had
come. Some prayed, other stoically await
ed their fate,
The huge tidal wave was quickly fol-
lowed by others from shoreward. The
Siglin pitched and tossed all the after
noon. but manged to ride them safely.
The churning of the water continued until
after sundown. When darkness came on
a storm sprang up and the barometer fell
two points. All sails were reefed and
through the night high seas kept running.
| This continued until il o'clock the next
day, when the wind subsided and the best
kind of weather was thereafter expert
| enced to Puget Sound. Though knowing
| nothing of the earthquake on shore the
passengers believed the tidal wave had
been caused by seismic disturbances.
