These two factories furnished the princi-
pal ind usrry OF the place, and the loss
Will be keenly felt.
The fire started at Q so O'Clock on the

moments the entire building wac in

probability of the plants being rebuilt.

60 Appear.

Auburn. November 2l.--When the hear.
ing In the case OF the young men charged
with assault upon Miss Abbis whitney
was called In the mnnicipal court her
today, County Atorney-eleot M SHELTON
requested that an adjournmsnt be taken
until next Friday, stating that Miss
could not appear In court 60 offer her
This petition was granted and the men
were ordered to furnish ball in the um
OF $500 each for their appearance at
that time.
Judge. ID. W. Mitchell In rhe municipal
court, and after tbs clerk had read th =
warrants charging Edward J. Bewley
ana Herbert Hitchcock OF Lewiston an
John Ahern OF Auburn with ..assaulting
ana drugging Abbie Whitney, to her
great injury, the county attorney r.ns -eisS'
aminsd Miss whitney last evening, said
tnat in their opinion she was In no CON
dition TO undergo the strain which would
result from her appearance In court.
ID. j. MoGiIlicuddy and j. n. Slaftery,
council for the accused, said that while
they were In no position TO oppose the
request OF the prosecution. still they de-
sired 90 have the hearing come OH ne
soon as possible. as their clients are now
under arrest and they feel confident that
only q hearing Ia necessary to prove
they had no connection whatever with
the alleged crime.
Counsel for the accused also stated tn at
information had comesto them that Miss
Whitney'e condition was not so serious
as had been stated, as she had been seen
upon the street this morning.
A messenger was sent to the whitney
home, and after learning that Miss whit
ney had not been outside the house he re-
turned and 20 informed the court.
Judge Mitchell then granted q con-
tinuRnoe until next Friday morning at
o O'Clock ordering the ACCUSED to furnish
securities In the sum OF S3O0. All three
secured ball.
Many-people have been heard to express
the belief that this trial would come to
naught The sentiment seems widespread
that these young men are innocent OF the
charge preferred. Some people have gone
SO far as TO say that today's postpone
ment was but a graceful way that the
prosecution had taken TO prepare the pub
lic for the practical Abandonment OF the
case These and similar sentiments have
been freely expressed upon the streets oil
Lewiston and Auburn today.
City Marshal Garcelon ana Mr.. SHELTON
emphattcaliy deny that such Is the truth.
They say that the case against the re-
spondents viii be pushed for all 1t Il
worth. 1t Is said that they already have
the case well in hand, and that every
day delay tends to strengthen IL. The
case was only recently given 10 Mr.. Skel-
ton, who has been absent from the city
and he purposes to make the most ol
every moment at his disposal between
now ana Friday.

er's wife.

club, tonight gave out extracts from let
ters received by Mrs. Peary from her hus-
band, Lieut.. Peary, the Arctic explorer:
Ihe accompanying xtracts from let
ters Of Lieutenant Peary, directed by
In Washington, contain the first direct
information from Peary, the Arctic ex-
plorer, since August 2S, 1879.

July 20, with her daughter to join her
husband at Etah, Greenland, on the
Windward, Captain Samuel Bartl ett.
The vessel was last reported at Disco,
Greenland, on August 10th last.
1t is an interesting fact to note that the
lieutenant has not the slightest knowl-
edge that his wife and daughter are ON
their way to meet him, and on the other
hand none or Mrs. Peary's friends can
even hazard guess as to her exact
whereabouts In the white regions.
Following ars the letter extracts fur
nished by Mr.. Bridgeman:
Fort Conger, Lady Franklin Bay,
