The Alice Knowles left San Francis

whaling fleet, steered for the south
seas. When the Caroline group was
reached Capt. Montgomery made the
request that he be allowed to trade po-
tatoes for a supply Of water and fire.
wood The request Is said to have met
a fiat refusal from the acting German
governor who il is alleged ordered the
captain to go elsewhere In search of
wafer.
The Yankee skipper declared that he
would remain at the islands until a
water supply was procured IL ne had
10 stay there year. and said he
would report the matter to the Ameri-

FIRE At NoRRIDGEWOcK.
The Quinnebasset, or Old Norridge
wock House, Destroyed.

Norridgewock. Me-. Nov. 5.-(SpeciaD.-
The Quinnebasset, better known, perhaps,
as the old Norridgewock House, one of
the famous old taverns of the Kennebec
valley. was destroyed by fire. today. The
fire started about $50 and within an hour
the old house was half gone. Assistance
was asked for from SkOwhegan, but the
fire had gained such Roadway that it was
found that no help could be sent is time
anu as the building was not closely adj
joined by others nothing was done.
In the days when Norridgewock was the
shire town of Somerset county the old
house was the favOrite stopping place for
the lawyers attending court. Ii has shell
tered some of the most famous of those
who have practiced in the State and has
a very interesting history.
The place was purchased several years
ago by DR.. Samuel +. Conant of Show
hogan. and fitted up as sanitarium. 1t
was thoroughly repaired and refurnished
at the time, several thousand dollars be :
ing expended. During the past summer 1t
was used as boarding house. DIR. Co
nant retained the ownership.
The fire is supposed to have started
from defective chimney in the second
story. With the limited means at hand
the fire could not be subdued, but it was
prevented from spreading to the sur
rounding buildings. The building is prac-
tically total loss. the fire burning itself
out and leaving nothing but a shoulder
ing heap of ruins.
The loss on the building and furnish
ngs Is estimated at $4,000. with $4,000 in
surance,

. A STRONG POINT
For MoIineux Brought Out by
Expert DR.. Newell.
PecuIiarities Of His Writing Common
to Half Of All Writing.
Statement AppIauded by Audience,
Showing Crowds Sympathy.

New York, Nov. 5.-The trial Of Ro-
land b. Molineux, which was adjourn
ed, Saturday, was resumed. today, the
whole session being devoted to the tes-
timony and cross-examination of ex-
perts in handwriting. DIR. Marshall ID.
Elwell. who was under examination
when the court adjourned, resumed the
stand. His statement that certain pc
culiarities of MolineuX's handwriting,
on which the prosecution laid stress,
were common to so per cent. of all
writing, was greeted with applause,
which was quickly suppressed.
Mrs. Stephenson, the woman who is
reported to have made an affidavit that
she saw the poisoned package mailed
by a man who was not Molineux, was
in court under a subponae by the de-
fence. 1t is doubtful. however, whether
she will be called on to testify.

sault upon Miss Clara A. Morton in
Waverley, last Saturday night, caus-
ing Miss MortOn's death, today, was
held for further hearing on charge of
murder, in the Third District court for
eastern Middlesex.
1t is understood, last night, to be the
intention of the police to release the
man, today. as they had been unable to
make out case against him, but it is
claimed that new phases brought to
light, this morning, warranted u
change of procedure.
Mason was remanded without bail.

with intent to murder her, by striking
her on the head with a weapon I'M

ing did kill and murder said Miss Nor
ton"

dence was presented but a number of
witnesses were present in court pre-
pared. the police say, to state that a
man who looked like the accused, was
seen in Waverley, last Saturday
Among these was Charles Brown, con-
ductor of an electric car. who said
that a man looking like Mason a pas
senger on the car of which he had
charge in WaverIey, late last Saturday
night.
Previous to the hearing State Detec-
tive Durham and Attorney r. d. Ware
counsel for Mason, had a conference
with Judge Almy and the judge decided
to issue a warrant for murder on the
strength Of the evidence outlined by tn,
state officers.
When the hearing was opened the re.
quest by the prosecution for a contin.
| uance was granted.
Among the witnesses in court, today
were Henry Stearns and Miss Made
Fuller. who claim to have seen mar

TIME HAS EXPIRED
And Danish West india Co. Fails to
Subscribe 100000.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Nov. 1.-The
time for subscribing to the stock of the
Danish West Indian Co., expired, to-
day. OF the $1,00O.000 nominal capital.
only one-fifth was subscribed for, not
withstanding the advertisement given
to the concern by King Christian and
Crown Prince Frederick taking stock.
The promoters, who are anti-salers,
are downcast, on account of the weak
ness of the sentiment in favor of aiding
the Danish West Indies.
The banks and few individuals will
probably finance the matter and stand
the losses, since the treaty providing
for the sale Of the Danish West Indies
to the United States was rejected part
ly on account of their promises.
