SURVIVAL Of MIDDLE AGES.
Preston. Lancashire, is Celebrating
Its Guild Merchant. which Oc-
ours Every Twenty Years.

New York, Sept. 2.-During the
present week the old town of Preston,
in Lancashire. celebrates its guild
merchant, which is unique survival
of the middle ages, says Tribune dis
patch from London. Since 1928 there
have been guild celebrations in Pres
ton, and since 1912 they have been
held at regular intervals of 20 years.
The guild merchant has obviously to
do with the admission of the freedom
of the town, guild" merely being a
corrupt spelling of gid" which
means a money payment. A feature
of the guild this year is collection
of pictures which Earl Derby has got
together by personal appeal. Lord
Derby is mayor of Preston, and his
ancestors have been guild burgesses
since l542

state Among American Heirs.

New York, Sept. 2--The Dutch gov
erament has. according TO the World.
consented To division of the Powie
estate in The Hague, valued at S14.-

America. Seven heirs live here, one
al Quincy, ILL.,, and one in Chicago.
They are all in New York now, and
expect that the property will be
handed over TO them in a few weeks.
The reported settlement of the es-
tate is the outcome of a contest in
augurated by the American heirs
about twenty years ago. The Dutch
government was at first adverse to
handing the money over to the Amer
lean heirs, but they proved their case.
The property is to be divided share
and share alike, and with accrued in
terest each expects about 100000.
Nicholas and John Powie were the

get away until shortly before mid
night. The battleships put out about
nine o'clock, other craft following at

of the anchor lights. The lighthouse
keeper at Gay Head reported that the
fleet stood to the westward and did
not round the point. At sunset a
thick fog set in, and this continued
until about the time the fleet left,
when it grew thinner with the pros
pect of being dissipitated by the

PEOPLE ASHORE INTERESTED.
Summer Residents Interested In the
Signaling Operations.


Fisher Island, N. Y, Sept. 2.-The
summer residents at Fishers Island,
Sunday night, were greatly interested
in the fashlight signals which are
being exchanged with New London,
Plum Island and GARDENERS Island.
and large number of them watched
for the approach of warships almost
as keenly as the soldiers. The
searchlights lit up the water so plain
w that it was possible to see a ship
as well as though 1T was daylight.
The troops were sleeping beside
their guns, ready at moments no
tice to beat off possible attack from
the enemy. The officers particularly
were alert, some of them expressing
the opinion that an attack was prob
able because the attacking force
would hardly expect the defenders to
look for them on the first night.
Considerable target practice was
indulged in throughout Sunday. at
night schooner was sighted,and was
soon in range of the guns of Fort
Wright. The fort fired, and the shells
appeared to fall dangerously near the
vessel. Those aboard the schooner
evidently became alarmed at the DEM
onstration, and Immediately put on
all possible sail to carry them out OF
range of the guns. few moments
after the schooner was observed run
ming away, the order to cease firing
was given at the reservation.
