MRS. JAMES G. BLAINE DEAD
The Widow Of the Famous Maine
Statesman Has Gone to join
Her Husband.

Augusta, Me-, July 15.-Mrs. James
G. Blaine, whose serious illness has
been announced, died at the Blaine
here Wednesday.
Mrs. Blaine was 76 years of age
From Washington, short time ago.
she came to the old family residence
on State street. She was in an en-
feebled condition and had been under
almost constant medical attention
since. During the past week she
failed rapidly. Her condition was due
to a general breakdown of the system.
Mrs. Blaine's maiden name was Har-
riet Stanwood, daughter of leading
citizen of the state of Maine. She met
her husband while both of them were
teachers in a school in Kentucky.
They were married at Pittsburg and
later came to Augusta, where Mr.
Blaine became editor of the Kenne-
bee Journal. Mrs. Blaine leaves one
son, James G. Blaine; two daughters,
Mrs. Harriet Beale and Mrs. Walter
Damrosch, of New York, who were at
her bedside during her last illness.
The funeral service will occur Friday
and the body will be buried at Wash
ington. -5.> @

THE JoRD1NE MYSTERY.
A BlOod-Stained Sack Will Figure
i'm the Preliminary Hearing
Of Maud JOrdine.

Bloomington, ILL.,, July 15.-A blood
stained coffee sack, found, Tuesday
night, in a barn in the rear of the
Jordine home, will be sprung as
surprise at the preliminary hearing
tomorrow of 17-year-old Maude Jor-
dine on the charge of numbering her
two-year-old sister, Mabel.
If the girl knows anything about
the crime, Sheriff Edwards believes
She will tell it when she sees the sack.
At the same time, he says he is conf
dent she knows nothing about the
case, except what she has already
told, which does not incriminate her.
The sack is considered further sub
sanitation of the theory that the
crime was committed by some one
whose relations with the Jordine fam
lily were very close.
The sheriff s theory is that the MUIR
derer of the child, after killing her,
carried her in the sack to the spot
where the body was found.
The police theory is that the crime
was committed by a tramp. Officers
have watched the neighborhood night
and day since the child disappeared
and have sweated every person in the
neighborhood. They say they have
found no evidence involving anyone il
the Jordine family or living near.
