ter town farm from destruction by
fire. She discovered the blaze and be-
ing alone in the house secured an AK
and garden hose and fought the fire
over an hour before the neighbors came
to her aid.
After she had the blaze under con-
troll she sent neighbor for fire ex-
tinguisher at the engine house, over
mile away, but when it arrived its SER
vices were not needed.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to MS arraish-
ment before Justice Maurner
here, Mannino, the Sicilian, who
was arrested last Saturday, as
he was about to board steamer
for Sicily, on the charge Of compiled
ty in the robbery of Paymaster E. G.
Sherman of tho Saranac mills, who was
held up in WoonsOcket, r.. L., Sept. IS,
by three men, and compelled to hand
over a bag containing nearly $4,000,
made a clean breast Of the robbery and
implicated Antonio Agrusa and Fer
nandino Badalenenti, both Sicilians.
Agrusa, the prisoner said, was the
ringleader, and it was first planned to
murder Mr.. Sherman, but this part OF
the program of robbery was finally
abandoned, because of Mannino's OBJ
jections.
The Monday following the hold-up
the men separated in Boston. agreeing
to meet eventually in Palermo, in ST.
cily where an equal division OF the
spoils was to be made. Mannino went
to Brooklyn, having received only $50
Of the booty.
Mannino was remanded to jail for 20
days as fugitive from justice. Woon-
socket officers, now in Brooklyn, will
go to Albany, where they will appear
before Gov. Odell with requisition pa
pers from Gov. Garvin.
Mannino believes his companions are
hiding in the Sicilian district Of some
eastern city, probably Boston, and the
police of several cities have been asked
to make systematic search of the for
eign quarters of their cities.
Mannino was employed as watch
man at the cottage where strike break
ers, employed at the Saranac mills OF
the American Woolen company during
the recent strike, were housed.
Badalenenti was employed as strike
breaker in the plush mill at Manville,
R. l., at which place Mannino was also
| employed after leaving the Saranac
mills. The former had been in this
country but four months. He is but q
years of age
At Manville they fen in with Agru-
sa. also a strike breaker, aged 81, who
interested them in the plot to hold up
Paymaster Sherman, as he was going
from the bank to the mills on pay day,
when they knew he would have with
him large sum of money.
The plan was to lie alongside the
| ioau anu 10 ehe~t -Si,a-v,or aonn as
his carriage came within range.
Mannino said, however. that he was
not willing to have murder added to
the crime of robbery, and protested
that such desperate measures would be
unnecessary. The killing part of the
| program was then abandoned.
| When Mr.. Sherman's carriage came
in sight Mannino said he grasped the
horse by the head, Badalenenti seized
rein with one hand, holding aloft n
knife in the other, while Agrusa point
ed a revolver at Mr.. Sherman's head
and took the bag of money from him

Mahaney, master of the schooner Helen
Brewer, and one of the best known
mariners of Boston and this city, with
his wife, Mrs. Ellen Mahaney, are sup
posed to have been lost in their trip

naming hard and fast for "a hours.

Rrother Meet After Many Years.


Brockton, Mass.-City Forester Ed
ward Mottau was surprised recently
when his brother. Robert Mottau,

hotel keeper and has now retired. The
city forester left his home in Germany

RussIA's GAME IN ORIENT.
Preparing to Take Trade From Amer
leans.


San Francisco-The Earl Of Ions
dale has arrived ON the steamer Ven
tura on his way home from tour OF
the world. He Is accompanied by MS
wife. For some months he has been
travelling through the Orient and Aus
tralia studying social, political and In
dustrial conditions.
In speaking Of Australia he says that
conditions there, resulting from the po-
litical situation, are unsatisfactory ana
alarming. The Australian parliament
has enacted laws that are DISASTROUS
sitting industry. The government at
the same time is top heavy and over
paid. Instead of having one governor
for each colony appointed by the crown,
one governor general for the common.
wealth ought to be sufficient head.
OF British politics he says he has
not been able to keep in as close touch
with them as he would have liked. In
,auard n, the sea s,aal is, tho wer offioo,
he says 1t is precisely what he expect
ed, and he needed no findings of COM
mission to enlighten him on conditions
as they exist. The war Office authori.
ties are entitled to all the censure they
received, and he did not believe Lord
Kitchener was suited for the war office.
His observations in the Orient led
him to believe that Russia Is playing
an interesting game there. She may
withdraw a battalion Of troops, but as
she does SO she sends in railroad bat
talon to take its place, and these bat
talions are there for work more serious
than to take care of railroads.
Russia is prepared to take all the
trade now enjoyed by America. She
will ,oust all Americans from the Yalu
river for one thing, cutting into the
lumber trade, now being shipped from
this coast. by opening up the rich tim
ber belt owned by Russian firms in the
Yalu district.
