Wife's Mortgage Invalid.

In a decision handed down by the
supreme court Wednesday it was held
that a married woman cannot be bound
by a mortgage executed by her for the
benefit of her husband. William Lii
berenz and wife mortgaged some land
which they held jointly and he used
most of the money thus borrowed to
erect a livery stable on a lot on which
he had a contract to build the stable.
Subsequently he and his wife made
the necessary affidavit and procured a
deduction from the taxable value of
their land on account of the mortgage.
Then the owner of the land on which
it was built conveyed the livery stable
TO Mr.. Liberenz in exchange for some
of her husbands land that was heavily
mortgaged, and she sold the stable for
81, 900 subject to the liens that had
been filed against it. The court held
that she was not bound by the mort
gage that she had given.

New York. Nov. 1.-THE new East

was damaged to the amount of at least
q half million dollars last night by a
fire that for four hours ragged 355 feet

steel tower on the New York side.
Three men who were at work on the
top of the tower when the fire broke
out were reported to have fallen into
the river, but they were later accounted
for alive and unhurt.
Fire Could Not BE Fought.
Owing to the enormous height Of
the tower it was impossible to reach
the fire with apparatus in the fire de-

vOuring all the woodwork on the top
Of the tower. seized on the timber

Letter to ]. A. Gilmore.
PLYMOUTH, IND.

DEAR SIR: Some think we take a
good deal of risk in inviting complaints
of Devoe Ready Paint-we authorize
our agent to sell it under this guaran-
tee:
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it
on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about it,"
"We authorize him to do what is
right at u expense"
"The following story tells how lit
tie the risk is:
j. H. Asher s. Co., hardware deal
ers, Rhineback, N. Y, have sold
Devoe from rs to now, and have just
one complaint in all this time.
Three sides of a house were perfect:
the fourth was as bad as the three
we're good.
Explanation-It rained the night
before the fourth side was painted;
and the painters didn't wait for the
wood to dry.
What is done in such a case? What
ever the dealer, who sold the paint,
considers it fair to do. We leave ii
to him. He may not do exactly what
we should if we were there; but we
are not there. The best we can do Ii
to leave it to him.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvoE & Co.

A CASE OF IT
Many More Like it in Plymouth.

The following is but one of the
many similar occurring daily in Plym-
outh. 1t is an easy matter to verify
its correctness. Surely you cannot
ask for better proof than such con-
elusive evidence.
James E. Cox, painter, of Center
St., says: "For over five years too
frequent action of the kidney secre-
lions gave me no end of annoyance.
This was particularly observable at
night and resisted the effects of all
medicines 1 used. One day while
feeling dull and miserable and hardly
able to get around L happened to read
an advertisement about Deans Kid
ney Pills and 1 reasoned If this
remedy performs half what it promises
it may at least help and 1 went to j.
w. Hess drug store for a box. 1t
relieved, 1 bought a second and if the
results obtained from the use of two
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills had not
been positively beneficial l would be
the last resident of Plymouth to pub
licly endorse the preparation"

FOUR MEN IN DEATHS JAWS
They Escape, However. and Are Unhurt-
Firemen In n Close Place.


Daniel Trophy and his brother John,
of Montreal; A. z. Mcbride, and an
unknown MAI were at work on ths
tower when the fire started. While
they were helping the firemen to haul
up the hose the framework on which
they stood collapsed. Fol a long time
after this it was thought that both
Brophys and the unknown nan were
dead, but happily they all turned up
alive, and Mcbride saved himself by
catching a projecting piece of steel.
While the fire was at its height q
party of firemen was cut off AT the
base of the tower, where they were
exposed to a torrent of brands and red
hot pieces Of steel.
They were rescued after several had
been severely burnd. Brands from the
of the Pennsylvania Steel company Oh
the bridge. It was entirely consumed
and the contents were dropped into the
river, together with two hosting der
ricks on the platform. 1t was II O'Clock
before the flames had devoured every
thing cOmbustible, leaving only the
steel cables stretching across the river.
These cables were recently com.
pleted-samc for the steel sheathing;
it is feared that they have been bad
ly damaged ny the intense heat. Should
it be necessary to replace them the Ia
Dor of two years would be lost.
Chief Engineer Martin. in charge of
the bridge construction, said last night
that of the four steel saddles, weigh
ing thirty-four tons, on the top of the
tower three were red-hot. but were
unchanged. OF the foul cables rest
ing on the saddles two he found woulo
have to be partially replaced by spite
ing. This will involve a delay Of four
months.

ALAN MASOA'S PERIL
Grows Greater Daily of Dying a
Man CONDEMNED for Three
Foul Murders.
SELLER OF THE WATCHES FOUND
Gays He Got Them from Mason,
Whom He Picks Out from
Among Seven.

Boston, Nov. 10.-After having given
out Saturday night the confession made
by a young negro, George L. o. Per-
~, with reference to selling the
watches taken from the murdered
women = Miss Clara A. Morton and
Miss Agnes Mcphee-the police admit
ted yesterday that Perry declares that
Alan g. Mason is the man from whom
he received these articles. This ad-
mission of the police was made just
before young Perry was taken to the
Jail in East Cambridge, where Mason,
the prominent Boston man under ar
rest on the charge of killing Miss Nor
ton, is confined pending a hearing in
the Cambridge court. In one of the jail
corridors Perry positively identified
Mason as the man who had given him
the two watches. Mason, by neither
look nor word, betrayed any knOwl-
edge of having seen Perry before.
How He Came Into the Case.
Perry is aged about 10 and of light
complexion. The detention of Perry
came through the Boston Children's
Aid society, and Immediately through
two of its officials-CharleS w. Brit
well and Samuel c. Lawrence. These
men were led to believe that the hand
writing of a young negro whom they
knew through the work of the SO
ciety was similar to that contained Oh
the cards filled out by the man who
sold the stolen watches. The state pc
lice were called in; the young man,
who proved 20 be Perry. was found,
and later he confessed to have taken
the watches from a man in Cambridge,
one a month ago. just after the nun
der of Miss McPhee, and the second
last Sunday, the day following that
upon which Miss Morton was MUIR
dered in Waverley.
Met q Man Who Gave Him Watches.
The boy ir his statement says that
he met the man who gave him the
watches in Central square, Cambridge,
cbout foul weeks g After some con
v~ersation they began to talk about
watches. and the man gave the boy a
small watch. Perry p..wned it wita
Nemser. and meeting the man again
gave him % cents of the proceeds.
Saturday a week ago Perry met him
again. as he says, accidentally, and
again the man showed q watch. Per-
~ says the man seemed anxious to get
rid of it. so he took it and pawned
1t with Nemser, getting 81.
