This statement of Third Officer Grouse,
coincided in by DIR. Rudolph Graham,
the physician of the Phoenicia, also by
Christopher Gerkins, the steward OF the
Phoenicia and Oscar Henutschel, the
steward of the Saale.

Circumstances of Decis-
ion Peculiar.
Action VIII Begin Immediately
in Supreme Court.

Albany, N. Y, July 3.-Attorney Gen
eral Davies was notified by telephone
late this afternoon that Justice Kellogg
of the third appellate division, sitting in
chambers at Plattsburg, had granted a
stay pending an appeal by the American
Ice company from the decision of Justice
Alden Chester, refusing to make perma-
nent the prohibitory writs to restrain
Referee Nussbaum from examining the
officers of that company. This ties up
the proceedings before the referee.
Attorney General Davies was very
wroth when notified that stay had been
secured. To the Associated Press cor
respondent he said:
while have not seen ascopy of the or
der as yet, just as it is received, L shall
begin proceedings to have it vacated. We
viii exhaust every remedy at our COM
mand and every function of this office to
fight the ice trust.
Some comment was made by the attor-
ney general and his deputies on the fact
that stay had been so quickly secured
and the circumstances surrounding the
case were thought to be rather peculiar,
inasmuch as Justice Chester's order was
not filed at the county clerks Office until
noon today and the stay was secured
within three hours afterward. The sup
position is that the ice company had att
torneys stationed at Plattsburg awaiting
orders by wire when to make the appli-
cation.
In case Justice Kellogg refuses to va
cate his own order granting stay, the
attorney general will commence an ac-
tion Immediately in the supreme court
to amend the certificate granted the
American Ice company, as a foreign COR
poration permitting it to do business in
this state. A copy Of the complaint
win be served on the company as soon
as Justice Kelloggs determination is
made known.

sIDEL1NGER,s CONDITION
DANGEROUS.

Biddeford, July 8.-CharIes Side Iinger,
the German barber who was 1nobbed at
Kennebunkport few nights ago, is in a
dangerous condition and it is doubtful ii
he RECEIVERS.
His hip was badly injured by the rough
handling of the mob and it is believed
that his spine is also injured and his ex-
perience in general was calculated s to
leave him in a rather serious condition.
he is still in his room attended by his
brother and it is reported that Miss
Brown, the young woman to whom his
attentions resulted in the assault has de-
clared that she will spend every dollar
she has to prosecute the perpetrators.
There is no secret at Kennebunkport as
to who the leaders were. They were in
part some of the best known men in town
and from oil that can be heard it was as
far as the leaders were concerned, more
of drunken freak than Of any outraged
morality.

south Berwick Fire to BE Investigated

South Berwick, July 3.-State Insur-
ance Commissioner S. w. Carr has been
notified of the burning of Florence j.
Knights farm buildings, early Sunday
morning, and win come here to assist the
selectmen in making an investigation.
Ons fact which the newspaper reports
of the fire failed to mention is that Mr..
Knight did not own the buildings. They
were the property of Postmaster Thomp-
son Of Lowell, Mass, the farm being the
old Thompson homestead, But Mr.
Knight lost all his horses, stock. farming
implements and furniture, and the mem
bers Of his family barely escaped from the
flames.
Many of the towns people believe that
the fire was of incendiary origin, and that
Mr.. Knights desire, as member of the
ooroner's jury, to name the person whom
he suspected OF being implicated in the
death of Fannie sprague, is of some sig
nifcance in the case. Others, however,
are Of the opinion that some of Mr..
Knights s teamsters may have left pipe
or a cigar stub in the barn.
Road Commissioner Simeon P. Hun
tress, another member of the ooroner's S
jury, who fell from road machine and
was seriously hurt, Saturday, is rapidly

THREE MORE OF DEAD.
Total Found on saaIe Now Numbers
Nineteen.


New York, July S.-The Saale gave up
three more Of her dead late this afternoon
making a total OF 10 found on this vessel.
One body was reported floating about in
6 stateroom below so Diver Erickson went
down the hatchway leading to the quar-
ters of the second class passengers, forced
the door and foated the body upwards
until it landed on deck.
By this time the tide had receded and
Third Officer Sanders recognized it as
that of a steward.
Erickson again went down and in the
second cabin saloon found the body of
Chief Steward Ulrich. The face and
breast were badly burned and life pre-
server partially tied was about the body
Mr.. Sanders had no difficulty in Identity
ing the body as that of his fellow officer.
A gold watch which ho wore had stopped
at 7.10 o'clock. Again Erickson went
down and brought up the body of a man
apparently about 3years of age, whom no
body was able to recognize. It was not
burned. The body was apparently that
of painter or carpenter.
Four divers worked all day on the
Saale, but little progress was made to-
wards raising the vessel which is settling
deeper into the mud. According to Diver
Dwyer who went down into the vessel
amidships, her interior is a perfect tangle
work of warped iron and steel debris
The wrecking company next to the re-
covery of bodies IS bending its energies to
preparing the vessel to be foated, but it
is not thought this can be accomplished
for days. Something like 200 port holes
were melted out by the fire.
Significant suggestions of the terrible
ordeal through which those on the Saale
passed meet the visitor on every hand.
On the turtle deck astern near the taffrail
about 25 pairs of shoes, burnt and
blistered, lay piled up. The shoes are of
all descriptions, good and bad, worn by
male and female. The shoes belonged to
those who chose to fight for life in the
water rather than stay by the burning
vessel.

TANGIBLE NEWS.
Autogrophic Letter From German Le-
CATION Says Ministers Are snce.

Washington, July 80.-The secretary Of
state received at midnight last night a
despatch from Mr., Fowler, American
consul at Che Foo, dated noon, July 2ss
Mr.. Fowler says:
A letter from the German legation
dated 21st inst. received at Tien Tsin.
German loss is 100 killed and - wounded.
Chinese attack ceased on the 12th Baron
Won Ketteler body said to be safe; the
Austrian, Italian, Dutch and spanish le-
CATIONS destroyed and the French partial
". A letter from the Japanese legation
dated the I'd. arrived at Tien Tsin on the
9th. Ten battalions of Chinese shelled
the legation consecut1vely from the 20th
OF June and stopped on the 18th of July,
but may renew. The German, Russian,
American, British and half the japanese
and French legations are still defended.
japanese say they have food for six
days but little ammunition. The Empe-
ror and Empress are expected at Pekin. -
The view that the Washington cabinet
have taken from the beginning that with
the exception Of Baron Won Keltaler, the
1egationers at Pekin were alive long af-
ter the date which was said to have
marked their massacre. is being slowly
but surely confirmed.
The most Important contribution IN
support Of our governments position
since the receipt of the Conger autograph
letter representing the foreign ministers
to have been alive on July 4, came today
from United States Consul Fowler, at
Che Foo.
The letter referred to by the consul as
coming from the German legation at
Pekin is supposed to have been an auto
graph letter, and as such absolutely re
moved from the suspicion OF fraud. The
japanese report is understood to have
come down TO sea without having passed
through Chinese hands. It was one of
the first results OF a private messenger
system inaugurated by the commanders
Of the allied forces.
Taken in conjunction the two reports
submitted by Mr.. Fowler adde1 over

in favor of the existence of the legation

BAD MAN Ar THORNDIKE.

Thorndike, Me-, July 30--A man
claiming the name of Charles e. Chase,
called at the home of Milton Ward of this
town Wednesday about dark requesting
to stop for the night.
Mr.. Ward at first refused but finally de-
oided to let the man stay.
Chase has served term in Belfast jail
being one Of the most unruly OF prison
ers At bed time Chase said he would
sleep on the floor Ward and his daughter
then left and went to an adjoining room
where they decided to pass the night.
Being afraid OF the man they did not
retire. They had not been in the room
long when Chase came to the door and
tried to get in Mr.. Ward ordered the
man away. Chase swore and said he was
going in. After quite a struggle he sue
ceeded in forcing the door partly open
and putting his head through. He was
met with a blow ON the temple with a
rock in the hands of Mr.. Ward, which
caused the blood to run. After receiving
more blows Chase retired cursing and
screaming. Mr.. Ward and his daughter
then left and ran across the field to Mr..
Hubbard s. Mr.. Hubbard drove to the
home of Deputy Sheriff Vose and re-
quested him to go to the Ward house and
arrest the man. The officer harnessed his
horse and drove to Ward arriving there
about daylight. Chase was still there
searching the house. Sheriff yose secured
his man and took him to the station
Chase was given a hearing and put under
bonds to the amount Of $500 Chase is

O'BRIEN BROKE A RIB.
mcFadden Admtniste red Severe Drub-
bling to Nova seotfan.

New York, July 80.-George A1oFadden,
the local lightweight boxer, administered
q severe drubbfng to sAck O'Brien, for
merly OF Halifax, N. s, but now q resi-
dent OF this city, before the Twentieth
Century club at Madison Square Garden
tonight The pair met for q 20 round
bout at the lightweight limit, 1873 pounds,
but there were only u rounds of fighting.
O'Brien was so badly punished in the
18th round that he much against his will
was forced to give up when the bell rang
for the beginning Of the 18th and instead
Of putting up his hands for attack or de-
fensive he extended his gloved hand to
McFadden, giving McFadden the bout.
In the early stages of the game O'Brien
did fairly well and with his rushing tao
tics kept McFadden blocking on the de-
fensive, but as the bouts wore on McFad-
denis superior strength began to tell.
In the tenth round o Brlen's legs be-
gan to give out and it was only ques-
tion then how long endurance and pluck
would keep him going. In the 18th round
O'Brlen was sent to the floor three times
with lefts and rights over the heart and
was in such bad condition that he was
advised to give up and he did so. Nc
Fadden would certainly have put him out
in another round. When O'Brien was ex-
amined by a physician it was found that
one of his ribs on his left side was
broken. There were about 5000 persons
present most of whom had seen the Erne-
NcGovern contest two week ago and it
was the general opinion that MoGovern
could beat either of the lightweights in
tonight-s bout. On further examination
by the physicians it was found that
O'Brien's seventh and eighth rib on the
left side We're fractured.

and the royal villa at full speed, requir-

Bressi is young, tall and swarthy. It
appears that he remained four days in

which he came here.

He was one who bore i'll win to none "
When the Queens mother arrived there
was another affecting scene.
The assassin is strictly guarded in
prison. He continues to preserve abso-

day without any sign OF being affected
by his position. A second revolver was
found on the public stand in the gym
