ON FIRE
Freight Steamer Burned to Waters Edge One of
 Crew Drowned.

X New York, Nov IS. While bound down through Long Island Sound on one. of her ,egular trips between this city and New London. Conn, the freight steamer Mohawk of the Central Vermont railroads fleet took fire of Norton's Point, on. the Long Island shore, and was burned to the waters edge, early to-day. Her crew, with the exception of the watchman, was res cued by q passing steamship and taken to Fall River, Mass. It is believed that the, Mohawk will be total loss and that little if any of her cargo will be saved.
 The Mohawk left New, York last evening with q full cargo of general merchandise. She had twenty two per sons on board including two women. As the steamer passed Norton's Point the lighthouse keeper saw flames breaking from the boat and few min utes later she was afire from stem to stern. Assistance was at hand in the Fall River line steamer Boston, which had closely followed the Mohawk down the Sound, and all on board except the watchman were soon taken of. A few moments after the Boston had resumed her voyage there came the sound of heavy explosion and a mass of burning timbers accompanied ny. n fresh burst of flames shot up from the center Of the abandoned freighter.
 When dawn came the steamer was lying fast on the bar and only DOT ton of her upper works showed above the surface This gradually disap- peared as the fire ate its way into the hull of the boat. The lighthouse keep CT was unable to make out the name of the abandoned steamer, and it was not until the rescued crew had reached Fall River that the name of the unfor- tunate craft was made known At the same time it was learned that one life was lost by the burning of tue steamer. A watchman who was on duty when the flames were discovered failed to reach the Boston when she stood by to give assistance and it Is supposed that he lost his life. Attempts to send as sistance from shore to the burning steamer were unsuccessful. The Rock Point life saving crew put out in boat, but were driven back by the in-s tense heat of the flames. Later vol unteer crew from Peconic started out and stood by the burning hulk waiting for the fire to burn itself out.
 The fire continued to shoulder dur ing the forenoon and frequent explo- sions scattered burning embers and clouds of ashes over the water.
 The Mohawk was. comparatively. new steamer, having been built at Chester. Pa, in 1896. She was of 2, ,150 net tons; 295 feet in length, 43 feet beam and 16.S feet deep.

WHERE DID IT co ?
All the Money Candidates Spent for
 Election.

The candidates for office at the last election don't appear 10 take much stock in the law with reference to filing lists of their expenses. So far but few of them have compiled with it, and as this is the last day 1t looks as If they had made up their minds to let 1t go. W.J. Spain, candidate for representative on the democratic tick ct, put out $21.5O, divided as follows: Town committee, $10; pastors, ST. 50z other expenses, $4. Samuel J. Marsh. candidate for representative on the re- publican ticket, spent $SS, $50 to the town committee, $2O for paste5ss and
 the balance for incidentals. Ralph Blakeslee, Mir Marsh's running mate, got away with $103.25. He helped out the town committee with donation of $50 paid $3825 for pasters and gave $15 to political agents F1nton ID. Phelan, the democratic senator for the sixteenth district, contributed $20 to the town committee, gave employees Sl5, spent $14 on pastors and put o}tt $l5 on printing and postage stamps making total of $64, about $450 lesa than it cost Mr Peck in the fifteenth district. Several of those who have filed statements state that they spent nothing, others got out of 1t from s tos $5, and Leon M. Barnes, one of fhs prohibition men, dropped but 62 cents. One cannot help noticing that with the exception of the Justices, the canf7i- dates who held onto their purse strings were long ways from the goal at the finish. Who doubts that money does not make the marc go?

WEAR nUFFLERS
Weather Forecaster Says it Will be Cold at Football
 Game To.MorrOw.

New Haven, Nov 1S.-The weather
 forecaster in New Haven says that it
 will be advisable for those who at. tend the Yale-Harvard game to-mor- row to be warmly dressed, as the day IS likely to be cool with a cloudy sky. This section will be on the southern edge of a disturbance, but the indica. tlons are that there will he no rain. The temperature will be much higher than to-day and it will be comfortable at the field when the game starts, but quite chilly before it ends.
 The cold snap of last night froze the surface of the gridiron at 5~ale field, although it was protected by layer of straw two feet in depth. The sun during the forenoon thawedt the ground, making it a tritie soft. The held will undoubtedly be in excellent condition tomorrow. The Yale team is quartered at the infirmary at Pros pect hill and will have no lineup to. day. The Harvard team, which is ar the Pequot, had morning signal prac. tice on the lawn and tAe men were sent out for a walk along Morris Cove shore.
 In the city to-day police and street railway orders were issued to govern the handling of the throng which win
 S~eN~0 1iSAO s14 OAAA u1ItsGtlUuS. A street route for automobiles going to and returning from the field has been designated so that there will be little Interference with the running of street cars. Beginning at 10 a. m. tomorrow there will be a continuous line of trol- leys running on a loop from the rail. road station to Yale field, and the mum Der of cars brought into use will be the greatest since. the big games have been played here. The ownership of the local car lines by the New Haven road makes possible the complete co- operation in handling the visitors
 Head Coach Wrightington of Har- ward and Field Coach Raferty of Yale both stated to-day that the lineup of the teams for the game had not been determined. The former thought the chances were good for Brill and Meier to go in as tackles For the Yale bach field it seems probable that veeder at left half, S., Morse at right half and f1inn at fullback will start, and that Leavenworth will replace Flinn iD the second half. s.e

The Warren Line Suffers Serious Loss

E s
 Boston, Nov 1S.-Several lines of hose were still playing on the ruins Of the Warren line pier this forenoon, and dense cloud of smoke filled the streets of Charlestown. The pier was completely destroyed. So far as known no one was injured during last nights fire The fire department had one of the hardest fights in it's history to save the nearby grain elevator and the steamers lying at adjoining docks. The men were greatly hampered in their work by the intense cold, the water freezing as it fell around them, and many of them had their rubber coats covered with ice before they completed their duties. A revised es- timate to-day indicated. that half million dollars would probably cover the loss.
