the crime, was the fate of Phillip H.
Ross and his wife, young couple

Last March Ross and his wife To-
Gated about two miles from the town
OF Kerrytown and Ross opened sa-
loon, living with his wife above the
saloon building. All of the people
living in that locality have been in the
habit of having their checks casEad
by Ross, and he always kept consid-
cradle sum of money in the saloon for
that purpose.
About II o'clock Monday morning
A. s. Kerry of the Kerry Lumber
company had occasion to go out to
the Ross place, and when he arrived
he found the building in ruins and

TWENTY GO DOWN IN STORM.
Only Two of Steamers Crew Saved
From a Watery Grave.

Fernando, Fla.-Twenty men, con-
stituting all but two of the officers
and crew of the American steamship
Peconic, Captain Jones, bound from
Philadelphia to New Orleans with
coal, were drowned by the sinking OF
that vessel off the coast of Florida
Monday.
The disaster was the result OF
fierce gale which ragged along the
coast during the night and early
morning. Lashed by the storm an
immense wave struck the vessel with
terrific force about 1890 o'clock Mon
day morning. The impact, coming just
as the vessel was making turn,
caused shift of the cargo, and the
vessel leaned over and sank imme-
diately.
The accident occurred so quickly
that only two of those aboard her
an Italian and Spaniard, were able
to save themselves. They succeeded
in getting into lfeboat, reached
Amelia Beach about noon, and on
landing told the story of the disaster

Fuel & Iron company and the Colorado
d Southern railroad company as at
first reported, according to statement
given out at the headquarters OF the
former company in this city.
The greatest loss to the fuel com.
pany will come from the shutdown of
its mintes and other property conse-
quent upon the death of some of it's
employees and the temporary stoppage
of railroad traffic.
The following is the list Of dead and
missing as officially reported to the
fuel company here:

Pasquel Cauto, Joseph Mazzasco, Ra-
fael Buceho, Antonio Constantine,
Phillip Pastere, Pasqual Bottalmo,
James Amotherman, Harry O'Neill,
and William Rayball.
The report does not separate the
dead from the missing in the list.
The representatives of the fuel com.

been instructed to provide for the fam
lilies of the employees who were
drowned and as fast as the bodies are
recovered they are taken to Trinidad
for burial.

FEARS RETURNING SOLDIERS.
One Reason Why Russia Hesitates to
Make Peace.

Berlin.-The dominant feeling in the
Russian court, as reported officially
here, is that Russia is in a better posi-
ton to go on with the war since she
has heard Japan's terms than she was
before, because the dissemination OF
these terms in Russia Is having the
effect of bringing most educated per-
sons to the conviction that the war
must be fought out, as the conditions
are insupportable and because the re-
turn to Russia of half million SOL
diers, disconnected with their treat
ment in the far east and with the vain
results of their endurance, would add
to the internal ferment, while the gov
eminent would not be able to truth
fully answer the accusation that it
made dishonorable peace.

ture, While Japs In the Field Are
Spelling for a Fight

Oyster Bay.-A crisis in the peace
negotiations is approaching rapidly,
Whether there is to be peace between
Russia and Japan or a continuance
of the war will be determined very
likely within a few days.
Since he made his direct appeal to
Emperor Nicholas, President Roose-
welt has been awaiting developments,
hopeful that such efforts as he has
felt proper to make to avert failure
of the Washington conference might
not be futile On Thursday these de-
velopments began to appear. A re-
port from Ambassador Meyer at st,
Petersburg of his audience with EN-
peror Nicholas was received and in
addition some important advices from
Portsmouth reached the president.
The correspondent of Reuters Tele-
gram company at st. Petersburg,
was on Thursday authorized by Count
Lamsdorff, the foreign minister, to-
state officially and in the most for
NAL manner, that Russia will pay
Japan no contribution, direct nor in
direct, nor will it make any cession
Of territory whatever.
It is declared by prominent Rus
SLAMS that Russia's sincere desire for
peace was manifested in the spirit ol
concession shown by the Russian
mission on the other disputed points,:
and that if japan was willing to waive
this demand, which was consistent
neither with the honor nor the dignity
of Russia, there would be no trouble
in arranging peace, Japan's insist,
ence on indemnity being the only bar.
rier to the termination of the war.
The emperor's inflexible determine.
ton to continue the war rather than
yield to a demand which is regarded
as warrantable only in the case of
a vanquished nation, is strengthened
by the latest dispatches received from
General Linevitch, in which he re.
ports the strength of the Russian posi-.
ton and speaks favorably of the spirit
and condition OF his latest reinforce
ments and the morale of the entire
army.
Reinforcements for the front are re-
ported as steadily arriving. The Thir-
teenth corps Is now en- route, and the
war ministry is preparing to dispatch
a composite corps in case negotiations
for peace fail. Only regular troops
and not reversists are now being for
warded, and it is reported that the
city of Moscow grenadiers have re-
ceived marching orders.
A competent military attache of an
European power, who is acquainted
thoroughly with the defensive facili-
ties at Vladivostok, declares that the
Japanese will find that fortress a
harder nut to crack than Port Arthur
If they decide to break off negotia-
tons.
In the meantime the Japanese in
the field and many at home are clam.
oring for continuance of the war in
the far east, believing that they will
ultimately compel Russia to accept
terms.

mine cave-in about three weeks ago
He was working on the 10O-foot level
of section of the Mountain Consol-
dated mine when a cave of many
tons of rock, covering distance of
over thirty feet, entombed him, mar
rowly escaping crushing him to death.
Rocks kept dropping, but by crouch

was able to keep out of their way. He
had barely enough room to stretch

Had a Marvellous Escape.

Oxford, Pa.-Dashed to the bottom
of deep well and pinned under six
feet of water by falling rocks, Frank
White escaped without other injury
than a few severe bruises. White
had just finished cleaning out the well
and was trying to climb out when one
side of the wall fell in upon him,
hurting him to the bottom. After a
short struggle he again wriggled
from under the enormous weight and
was pulled out with rope. He was
unframed, save for few bruises.

KAISER TAKES A HAND.
Emperor William Accused of Being
an Obstacle to Peace Negotiations.

Portsmouth, N. H.-Most persistent
ly the report continues to be circulat-
ed here that Emperor William has
been one Of the main obstacles tot
peace; that while ostensibly in SYM
pathy with the presidents efforts he,
is advising Emperor Nicholas not to,
yield. The foundation for the belief
in the fact, which appears fully con-
firmed, that M. Whites instructions
were made more imperative and in.

demnity and cession of territory after
the kaiser's interview with the Rus
sian emperor in the gulf of Finland.
Beyond this no evidence is offered.

Russia Takes Steps to Guard Against
Asiatic Disease.

Danzig, Prussia.-The authorities
have failed to discover any new cases
of Asiatic cholera at Culm, West Prus-
STA, or elsewhere in the territory ada
cent to the Vistula river. Stations
have been established along the river
near the Russian frontier for the pur-
pose of inspecting and limiting the
river traffic.
Prof. Channeemisso of Paris told the
medical academy recently that Eur
ope was in danger of cholera cpl
demic from the east and that west
ern Prussia was a possible inlet for
the disease. The medical authorities
of Prussia, therefore, have taken Wig
orous hold of the situation and will
adopt every means to prevent the
spread of the disease.

WILLIAM WANTS PEACE.
Stories to the Contrary Are Denounced

Lenox, Mass When Baron Den
Buche, German charge d'affaires, was
shown the reports emanating from
Portsmouth, to the effect that the
German emperor was using his in
fiuence against the acceptance by Rus
STA of Japan's terms, he said:
such reports are contrary to the
truth. The emperor is strongly for
peace and is not interfering with Pres
dent Roosevelt's efforts. Quite the
contrary, he earnestly sympathizes
with the presidents endeavors.''

Senator Pike took the bill, placed on
the table by him, Wednesday, and
moVed, i'll consideration of numerous
petitions and letters that he had re-
tclVcd IRON his constituents asking
th;t the bill repeating the bounty be
granted another hearing, that il be re-
committed to the committee on legal
affairs. Senator Pike asked that this
courtesy be extended him on the ground
of that shown the honorable Senator
from WALDO, Senator Morse in the re-
coinInital, Wednesday, of Il resolve in
favor of the Waldo County General
Hospital, to the committee on apprO-
rriations and financial affairs. Sena-
tors Gardner and Stetson of Penobscot
strongly opposed the idea of recon-
initial since 1t would establish 4 prece-
dent that would lead to no end of
trouble and expense of time during the
session; they expressed the wish thai
the motion would not prevail.
Senator Staples OF Knox then arose
and with araCterStic vigor asserted
that in his opinion the courtesy of re-
committtal should be extended not only
To the Senator from Washington but to
any senator whose constituents petit
ton for a new hearing on the ground
that Il full OF fair hearing has not been
granted. Senator Gardner then asked
senator Staples if he wished to estab-
might ask for another hearing after

Senator Staples asserted emphatically
that he did. That he considered that

Maine should have a right to demand Il
