UNDERGOING REPAIRS,
The Massachusetts Will Be Put Into
Condition to "Dry Dock"

Bar Harbor, Me, Aug. 16.-Tempo-
rary repairs on the battleship Masssa-
chusetts are rapidly proceeding, under
the supervision of Naval Constructor
Gilmore, and it is expected that the
ship will be ready to sail, Thursday
for Brooklyn, where she will be dry
docked at the navy yard.
The emergency pump brought by the
Wrecking tug Storm King has been
stored below decks on the battleship.
The ship was further lightened, today
by the removal of additional stores.
The water has been pumped out OF
all but one compartment, which con-
tains about 100 tons. 1t is not thought
necessary to remove this before the
ship is locked. All apprehension as
regards the ultimate safety of the YES
sci is removed.
The Newport will sail, tomorrow
morning, for Rocl<land and the Indiana
will leave, Tuesday, for the same port

Biddeford, Me-, Aug. 16.-If the opin-

founded, Frank Hagerman, the Bidde-
ford & Saco Street Railway fireman,
who was shot by Harlan p. Hanson
on the lawn of the latter's home in
Saco, early Saturday morning, has but
a day Or two to live. Death from blood
poisoning is anticipated.
Hanson adheres to his original YER
sion of the affair and says that the

knife. Friends of Hagerman assert
that the latters knife was found in his
pocket after the assault, unopened.
Hansons mother, who is so years of
age, is in state of collapse as the
result of shock following the receipt of
the news of the shooting.

Adolph jacobson of Bayonne, N. j., is
alleged to have been connected in one

thorities and the chief CT police of Jer-

The amount of the claims filed so far
is about 100000. but this is declared to
be only small portion of the total in
volved in the operations of "Staby &
Co" "A. 3. Powell" the Hudson
Country Supply Company" the Con
sumers' Distillery Company" and the

One of the lawyers said yesterday
that he thought the different "merchan-

have handled at least 100000 worth of
goods during the last sve years. The
bulk OF the alleged victims appear to be
small liquor dealers.

New York, Feb. 1S.-A practical
joker or a man of unsound mind made
victims of four pastors, of churches
in Brooklyn last week, mailing to each
pastor check for $4,000 drawn on the
First National bank of Brooklyn.
Payment was refused on representa-
ton. The four churches are the Jones
Methodist Episcopal. Bushwick Re-
formed church, the South Second
Street Methodist Episcopal and the
Plymouth.
All four pastors received their
checks on Friday and informed their
congregations of the good fortune that
had befallen their churches at the
Friday night prayer meeting.
AT the Bushwicl Avenue church the
meeting was turned into one of thanks
giving, and praise God, from whom
all blessings how," was sung.
All the checks were presented for
payment on Saturday. All of them
