WIN. KING LOCATED.
Is In Savannah, Ga, Where He Is Safe
and Sound.

Waterville. Me-, Oct. 31.-(SpeciaD.-
The mystery of the disappearance of
William G. King of Bath, has been
solved. as word has been received in
Shawmut. where he was formerly en-
ployed, that he is now in Savannah,
Ga. in good health and expecting to
enter the employ of large numbering
firm there. According to the story that
has been told. Mr.. King left Bath. Oct.
IA. and no trace of him has been found
since then. He was then in the en-
ploy of F. w. Carleton, contractor,
and everything was found in good or
der at the office and at his room at the
home of Charles r. McFadden on
Washington street. Two weeks passed
without any news as to his whereabouts
and his friends became considerably
worried about him.
Mr.. King was formerly employed as
chief bookkeeper for the Lawrence.
Newhall & Page Co. in Shawmut and
was an expert accountant. His family
still resides there and was as much in
the dark apparently as any of his
friends. But son of Wallace Jewell
has a friend in Savannah with whom
he corresponds. and he has received a
letter from there stating that Mr.. King
was there.
A man who recently saw Mr.. King in
Bath states that he was not satisfied
with his employment there, as the sal
arv was small. and that he seemed
rather Respondent at the time. His
friends here rather think that he had
become thoroughly dissatisfied and had
determined to strike out anew to sink
or swim and to keep his friends in
ignorance of his whereabouts until ne
had won success. In addition to being
an expert accountant he knows the
lumber business from A to u and is
very valuable man for numbering
concern.
He may have learned of good open
ing in the business in the South ana
gone after it. The letter stated that ne
would doubtless secure a fine position
and his friends here are confident that
if he does his ability will win him sue

MOTIVE, ROBBERY.
Woman Murdered at Reading
Was Mary J. Wineberg.
Check for $225.0l Missing-Letter
from Bank Found in Pieces.
Is Wanted.

Boston. Oct. 31.-The theory that rob
berry was the motive for the murder Of
the woman whose body was found in
the Reading woods. Wednesday after
noon. is being greatly strengthened by
later developments. The body was
identified by Samuel wingert, He
brew pack peddler. living at the North
End. as that of his divorced wife, whose
maiden name was Mary Myers. but it
has been learned that Mary Jane Wine
berg is the name by which she was
most frequently known in this city.
AS Mary Wineberg she pawned a
ring. Oct. 49, and as Jennie Wineberg
she lived at 554 Shawmut avenue from
last January until Oct. Is. On the lat
ter date she moved to "a Fabyan street,
the moving being superintendent by a
man whose description tallies almost
exactly with that of the man who was
seen with her in the vicinity of the
murder This man is being eagerly
sought for.
On Oct. %. a registered letter was
received at Station a, in this city. adj
dressed to Mary j. Wineberg. This let
ter, Mary j. Wineberg received and re-
ceipted for and the receipt was re-
turned to Philadelphia. In the letter
was a check for $225.0l, and it was for
that money. it is believed. the murder
was committed. Whether the check
was cashed and the woman had the
money on her person, or whether the
murderer secured the check itself is not
known at present to any one but the
fugitive.
The latter. in his flight. scattered
pieces of the torn letter, which, when
put together, resolved themselves into
n notification from Philadelphia bank
to Mary j. Wineberg that she would
find enclosed $225.0l, the balance of her
account, thus revealing a motive for
the horrible crime.
Robbery being accepted as the motive
for the crime, it is pertinent, that the
woman was eccentric in the extreme,
always appeared to have plenty OF
money. and was known to have money
in banks. There are to be found in the
North End people who believe she was
n njser When she moved from the
Sbawnut avenue house she was III ar
rears with her room rent. and the man
who is believed to be the murderer and
VINO accompanied her at the time made
the remark that this woman could
buy YOU and your whole house, If she
wanted to-"
Mary ]. Wineberg. whatever else she
was. was at all events an outcast. and
no one has vet appeared to call hef
friend. or to know aught of her affairs.

GREAT CONFIDENCE
Is Shown in Business Circles
For the Next Year.
Cotton Crop Largest for Years Shoe
Buyers Placing Recorders.
"Thc West Will Buy Anything This
Year" Is Said.

New York. oct. 31.-Bradstreets, to-
morrow, will say: Confidence in the
outlook for next years business is a
notable feature in the trade situation.
The volume of orders booked for next
springs delivery is large for this sea-
son of the year and is explained partly
by the exceptionally good business
done on fall and winter account and
the large crop yields Of the year and
also by the good position of the winter
wheat crop as cold weather approach
es.
The absence of killing frosts at the
South has allowed of the maturing of a
considerable top crop of cotton. That
the crop will be larger than that Of
last year, seems certain and 100000
bales estimates are becoming more
fashionable. The volume of business
offered the railroads is unprcccdcntedly
large and lack Of ears and motor power
is still the main subject Of complaint.
The great rush of fall buying at the
West is now over. but recorders are
good, although colder weather would
benefit retail trade materially. The
situation is, in fact. well summed up
by the remark Of an authority that
the West will buy anything this year
Collections are. as a whole. good. but
hesitation is still noted at some South
western markets.
At the East retail trade needs steady
cold weather to stimulate demand. but
jobbinS business feels the effect of the
lifting of the coal embargo. Wooden
goods. strengthened more by higher
# hn do
mand. are tending up; yarns have al
ready advanced
Spring trade indications are promis-
ing. Lumber is selling freely, despite
the advanced stage of the season. An
active winter for the mills is predicted.
The movement of anthracite coal is in
creasing and prices have fallen faster
than expected.
Eastern shoe buyers appear to have
been over conservative and now rush
ing in recorders. hence jobbers are in
turn crowding manufacturers.
one industry in which confidence I'm
next years business has heretofore
been marked shows signs of hesitation.
That is iron and steel, fininshed pro-

high prices, have tended to accumulate.

TWO MILES, All.
Wonderful Performance ofStaI-
lion Cresceus at Memphis.
Clips Il IA Seconds from Record
Just Made by Onward Silver.
The Wonder Trots Last Mile Faster
Than the First.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 31.-Cresceus,
the great son of Robert McGregor
made good his claim to the champion
ship honors, this afternoon. in a re-
markable exhibition of speed and skill.
The horse was sent against the worlds
emile trotting record of Assn, held by
Onward Silver, and completed the cir
cult twice without Il break in All fiat,
clipping Tx seconds off the former
record. Both the horse and Mr. Ketch-
am, who drove him, received an ova-
ton from the large crowd present.
TOday's program, the last of the
meeting, was an extra good one and
good racing was the order of the day.
Cresceus appeared shortly after 3
o'clock and after scoring twice Ketch-
am nodded for the word. Accompanied
by a runner Cresceus went to the
quarter in 33 seconds. At the half the
timers hung out 1.06A, and the three
quarters pole was passed in 1.39.
Strengthening out for the wire, Ketch-
am sent him along at a lively clip, the
mile being reeled off in 2.1OR. AT the
mile and a quarter CresceuS seemed
to increase his speed and the post was
passed in 2.41A. and the mile and
half was made in 313. The last three
quarters pole was passed in 3.45 and
the two miles was covered in All.
Cresceus trotted the last mile faster
than the first. He covered the two
miles in IN seconds faster than the
pacing record, made by NervOla.
Another brilliant performance was
Gnt Of rip hn grai n CT
the pacing record for geldings of 2.00%
made by himself. Driven by Demarest,
the horse moved away like clockwork,
reaching the quarter in 29A, the half
in SO, the three quarters in 1.29k and
beating the former record by three
quarters of a second, the time being
200 fiat.
Cresceus will be shipped to Atlanta
in a few days where he has engage
ments. Many of the large stables have
taken winter quarters at Billings park.
