Corridor Rich Under
Bonds.
Neely's Friends Threaten 7
Expose Him.

Havana, June s.-The troubles OF Mr.
Estes G. Rathbone, former director Oh
posts, seem to be increasing. The audi
tors department has thrown out si5,oU
worth of vouchers, including 5000 worth
of bills, which have been paid twice,
most Of them at Munice, Ind. The Fideli
ty Co., has been notified that 1t Will be
held responsible on Mr.. Rathbone's tond.
Mr.. Miller, the manager of the company
and Mr.. Rathbone, have held prolonged
interviews during the last few days but
no decision has been arrived at regarding
this new aspect of the situation. The au-
thorities contend that the Fidelity CO., Is
responsible.
MIR. Rathbone's friends insist that y.
+. W. Nicely deceived Mr. Rathbone, VINO
signed at Neely's request without know
ing what he signed.
Corridor Rich has been placed under
5000 bond as witness in the Nicely case.
A letter has been received here by a
friend of Neely's saying that, II forced to
return, he will show that Rich Is liar
and that the latter received as much as he
(Neely) did.

FINE BILLIARD PLAYING

A gathering of over seven hundred peo-
pie assembled at the Palace Billiard hall
last evening to witness the match be-
tween MIR. Yatter of Boston, champion
billiard player of New England, and Har-
vey p. Cline, the champion of Pennsyl-
vania. The game was fourteen inch balk
line billiards, 15O points. Mr.. Cline won
$50 to 142.
After the match Mr.. Cline gave an ex-
hibition of fancy rail shots and Mr.. Yatter
gave an exhibition of finger billiards.
The marvellous performances of these
two experts were enthusiastically ap-
plauded by those who witnessed them.
Mr.. Mathis the proprietor Of the Palace
hall, went to considerable expense tc
bring these two men here, but the SPLEEN
did turn out showed that the Portland
lovers of the game appreciated what hi
has done.
Messrs. Yalter and Cline play this af
ternoon from two to three o'clock. In the
evening Mr.. Cline viii play matched
game of pool with Mr.. Jerry Foster the
champion of Portland.

WILL ADVERTISE FOR ARNoR.

Washington, June S.-The navy depart
ment Is about to issue advertisements call
ing for proposals for supplying face
hardened armor Of the best sype for the
battieships already building; for the pro-
tectsd cruisers already authorized and for
the three battleships provided for in the
new naval appropriation bill. Having
been assured that much better terms
could be extended by the armor COM
panies IL the contracts were for large
amount of armor the department viii test
this by providing In the advertisements
for the submission of bis of three
classes, namely, for supplying 1900 tons
of armor, then for ~, GO tons an finally
for supplying $1,000 tons.
There Is reason to believe that under
the last provision at least the companies
will offer TO provide armor for less thar
500 per ton. 1t will be for Secretary
Long to determine whether their figure
is reasonable; If not he must build an ar
NOR plant.

Nelson A. Miles, commanding the army,
and Major. Gen. IL. c. Corbin, adjutant

Burglars On Watch Fired On Lone
Wheelman.
Citizens Turned Out and
Hunted Crooks.
Fifty Shots Were Fired But No
One Hurt.

North Vassalboro, Me-, juno e.-Bur-
glars attempted to rob the store of Meser-
vey & Ford on Main street this morning
but were frightened away after afusilade
of shots had been fired by both burglars
and citizens. 1t was n little past one
O'Clock when Hartley Seavey, a young
citizen, was returning on his wheel from
waterville. As he approached the viciniey
of the store, he noticed man standing
in the street but paid no attention to the
person until the latter sprang at him.
Young Seavey spurted and succeeded In
Guiding the strangers grasp. The latter
at once opened fire and four shots were
sent after Seavey, one ball passing
through his trousers leg. The alarm was
given and twenty or more citizens turned
out. Then began a lively dash down the
country road. Two forms were seen us
appearing and upon these the men opened
fire bringing return shots. Fifty shots
were fired, but no one was hit ana tine
burglars succeeded In avoiding capture.
IL is believed that the robbers went In
the direction of Getchelrs corner where
they made connection with the railroad.
A party Of citizens kept up the hunt
during the night under the leadership OF
Constable Roscoe Thomas This party
secured the woods between here ana
waterville and down the railroad as Tar
as Getcheil's corner. Along the track oil
the railroad the party discovered foot
prints OF several persons that had been
male during the night and II Is certain
that the men wanted took freight train
that was ON the siding there as tine Ioot-
nrints were not to be seen except In one
place and that was probably where the
men got into box car.

CONFEDERATE STAMPS.
no Complete Set OF Genuine Ones Pos
sessed by the Government.

ssThe stock of Confederate money,
bonds, postage stamps, slave deeds, ETC.,
has about run out" explained n well-in-
formed numismatist and collector OF
curios to Washington Star man. that
Is to say, the genuine issues; but there
is no scarcity about the supply such as
1t is, and many collectors seem to be as
well satisfied with the counterfeit issues
as the genuine.
"There is nothing in the laws which
prohibits any one from duplicating such
issues, and several concerns have had
printed an enormous supply OF them.
These are what are sold to collectors now
and as they are much cheaper than the
genuine they have found ready sale. The
Confederate gov eminent issued in all
thirty different kin DIS OF postage stamps,
AMI full collection OF genuine issues
sells today for about three times their
face value. The ten-cent Confederates
postage stamp is very scarce, and 1t Is
quoted to collectors at fifty cents, and
hard to get at that.
IAN interesting fact has just been de-
veloped by q search in the Post Office
Department that the government does not
own "a full set of Confederate stamps,
though there are number OF stamps OF
different kinds ON the papers of the Con
federate archives purchased by Congress,
which are kept in the War Department.
The question came up as to whether OF
not the Confederate government issued
any twelve-cent stamps. The papers
were finally sent to the Post Once De,
partment and reply was made by that
department that it was unable TO give
any answer for the lack Of exact informa'
ton.

HOW THEY DO 1T IN CUBA
Old spanish Methods Seem TO Obtain An
Courts.

Havana, June s.-Senor Baccarrisse,
Cuban agent for well-known grade oil
flour, recently had a matter in litigation.
The clerk of the court called upon him
and said that for four centenes about
so, a decision would be rendered in
his favor. He refused and decision was
rendered against him. He laid the mat
ter before Gen. Wood, who advised him
TO appeal and suggested that, N he Were
approached again, he should mark the
money and endeavor to have detective
present to overhear the negotiations.
Yesterday the secretary of the judge OF
the Cathedral court called upon Baccar-
risse and told him that for ten centenes
the appeal decision would be given In
his favor An appointment WAS made
for another interview and when the sec
rotary arrived accompanied by the under.
secretary a detective was in hiding ana
heard the entire discussion and arrested
the " cretary when he was leaving the
building with the money, taking him To
the Vivac the tombs Of Havana, where
consulted by Baccarrisse, advised him
not to have the man arrested as such a
step would be considered 'unpatriotic, y
especially as the Americans would be able
TO say that the CIIbans were worse than
themselves. This last suggestion was
timely enough, for the Americans ever
since the occupation have had good rea-
son to consider the courts Of Cuba the
most corrupt courts that exist In any
civilized country.
The custom house fraud cases have
been set down for trial ON June 20, but
it is generally felt that conviction is i'm
possible as every judge and lawyer con-
oerned has relatives or friends among the
accused.
