(By Associated Prcss)
NEW YORK, November 1s.--while
bound down Long Island sound on one
Of her regular passages between this city
and New London, Conn, tho freight
steamer Mohawk, OF the Central Vcr-
mont Railroad, took fro of Horizons
Point, l.. l., and was burned to the
waters edge early to-day. Her crew,
except tho watchman was rescued by a
passing steamship, and taken to Fall
River Mass. 1t is believed the Mohawk
will be total loss. and that little, II any
OF her cargo will be saved.
The Mohawk left New York last cve-
ming with full cargo OF general mcr-
chandise. She had twenty-five per- ons
Oh board including two women. AS the
steamer passed Horizons Point, the light
house keeper saw q blaze breaking from
tho boat, and few minutes later she
was wrapped in flames Assistance was
near at hand in the form Of the Fail
River Line steamer Boston, which had
closely. followed the Mohawk down the
Sound. and those on board the burning
steamer. with the one exception noted.
were soon taken off. The flames had
passed beyond all control, however, aud
she was abandoned to her fate.
few moments after tho Boston had
resumed her Interrupted voyage, there
came the sound of a heavy explosion. and
a mass Of blazing debris, accompanied
by burst OF flames, shot up from the
center Of the abandoned frcightcr When,
dawn camo the steamer was lying fast
on the bar off Horizons Point, and only
a portion Of her upper, works showed
above tho surface. This gradually dis
appeared as the fire ate It's way into the
hull or the boat. "A Waterman who was
on duty when the flames were discovered,

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, November
1s.-The Charlottesville Progress this az
ternoon publishes the following:
'tFor several days there have been
numerous street rumors concerning the
financial condition Of j. Samuel N1cCuc,
convicted of wife-murder, and now con-
fined in the city jail awaiting the deci-
sion OF the State Court Of Appeals on
his application for new trial. The
latest rumor Is thyt the accused forged
his wifc's name to notes aggregatlng
$4,000.
Whom the Progress man madc inquiry
regarding these notes, he was informed
by reputable authority that tho admin
istrator Of Mrs. Fannie NJ McCue,s es-a
tate had proclaimed tho signatures

most emphatically. Further inquiry de-
velops that the status OF the notes lis
as follows:
"Mr. e. 0. Mccue qualified as the ad-
lninistrator Of the estate Of Mrs. Fannie
NJ. McCue and gave -. d for the faith
full discharge Of his duties. Notes are
due to the Jefferson and the Peoples
National Banks aggregating $1,000, on
which Mrs. McCue's name appears rs
endorser.
"Thcse notes were presented to the
administrator. who informed tho holder
that, IN his opinion, the signatures We're
not made by Mrs, McCuc. Further than
this Mr. f. O. McCuc does not know,
and does not pretend to know anything.
IF the signatures We're written or au-
thorlzcd by Mrs McCue II is the sum
qualified view Of the administrator Of
her estate that her property should not
be held liable for the debts, the estate
belonging to her children. IT would be
the duty of Mrs, McCuo's administrator
according to his view, to SEQ that the
