Johnny Shealey says the use of Rouse
O'Briens name to meet Benny Yanger
at the Douglas a. c. is unauthorized
as Rouse will not fight anybody under
the present regime. O'Brien's hand was
put under the N-rays the other night
by DIR. Tracey, who found the fractures
well knitted together. Rouse ought to
be able to fight in about three weeks.

ABOUT s75o,ooo TO BE USED
BY Government for Establishment Of
Lighthouse at Diamond Shoals.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Final steps
were taken by the government today
toward securing a lighthouse at Dia-
mord Shoals, Cape Hattcras, y. c..
which is considered the most danger
Gus point for shipping on the Atlantic
coast. Congress at its last session made
an appropriation for this purpose.
About S750,000 is involved. The act pro-
vides for payments should the light
house remain in position for term of
years, partial payment to be made each
year. The lighthouse is to be construct
ed by Albert L. Eclls. backed by Il Bos-
ton engineering firm. The plan is to
construct the lighthouse afloat and then
tow it to the required position and sink
it, The tide is expected to anchor the
construction by shifting sand around
lis base.
Many lighthouses have been con-
structed at this point. but all have
failed to withstand the rigor of the
storms.
Secretary Metcalf of the department
of commerce and labor today gave fl
nal approval of the plans of Capt.
Eells.

A PROSPEROUS YEAR
Under Circumstances Shown by Fall
River Cotton Mills Report.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 29.-The aver
age earnings of the cotton mills of this
city during the year 1905 were sol per
cent. on a capital of s22, S75,O0O. or $50. $50
less than in 1904. In 1908 the dividend
amounted to 5.4S per cent. while in 1902
stockholders received s1.3S9,S5D as
against s6Ss,60O paid this year.
The mills have not produced more
than SO per cent. of a full output for
the year, owing to the scarcity of labor
and labor troubles. Last year the mills
ran only five full months. At the pres
ent time it is estimated that about IS
per cent of a normal production is be-
ing obtained.
The year will he memorable for the
adoption of the sliding scale. and while
1t is yet too early to say what the out
come of the trial of it will be. it may
be said that it has not provoked open
opposition in any quarter and has won
popular favor because it gives some
stability to the local wage question.
The cloth market is in about the
same condition now that it was when
the year opened. The mills are sold
ahead for two months at figures that
insure a good profit to mills supplied
with cotton.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Dec 2o-For practical pur-
poses today was the last day OF the year
on the Stock Exchange. This fact was
made the basis for the speculative furor
which pCrvaded the stock market toda Y
from start to finish and carried dealings
to the two million share level. There was
less severity in the money strinsency to-
day than on the two precious days. Tho
rate was carried up to - per cent in the
urgent demand of the first part of the day
but fell back rather promptly to the
neighborhood of 80 per cent. and even be-
low that. Compared with yesterday. tn"
money market was regarded as eaSy and
today's rates were chcorfully and even
eagerly paid. There is Il deep-rooted con-
viction amongst the speculative cOntn-
gent in the stock market that Il vast or
ganiZation exists amongst the more pow
crful capitalists in the country. which is
largely responsible for the severe strn-
gency in money Of the last week in the
year, their object being to force The sale
of stock and then purchase it, Tho be
lief in the substantial character Of til"
accumulation of stocks WIS fostorcd by
the prominence in til" market Of United
States Steel, Union Pacific and AmalC:.-

eE.INsPEcTIoN OF CRAFT
And Pilots to be Made in Eastern
Ports "For Good Of Service"

Washington, Dec. o9.-Thc result of
a complete re-inspection of vessels
coming under the supervision of the
Steamboat Inspection Service at the
ports of New York. Philadelphia and
Boston. ordered by Sec. Metcalf of the
department of commerce and labor last
September. was made public today.
Capt. Ira Harris, supervising inspec-
tor of the I'd District. criticizeS licensed
officers and owners at Philadelphia and
New York. He says:
"In the New York and Philadelphia
districts many licensed officers and
Some owners have become habituated
to noncompliance with the pilot rules.
Many of the older pilots seem not to
know the simplest rules for safe navi-
CATION. The number of casualties i'll
1904 showed such an increase over 1903
that 1t was plainly our duty to check
it at any cost. Most local boards have
ably seconded the efforts of the super
wishing inspector in this respect. The re-
suit is shown by the following:
'In the first II months of 1898. there
were in the three districts of New York.
Philadelphia and Boston, 1877 casualties
reported, of which 81 were investigated.
resulting in the licenses of 90 officers
being suspended or revoked. In the
same months of 1904 the number of cas-
uaities had increased to 256, of which
only 70 were Investigated and only 10
licenses suspended or revoked. In the
same months of 1905, the number of
casualties was reduced to 123 but the
number of Investigations was increased
suspended or revoked.
"Ninc large excursion steamers of
New York remained at their docks in
the past season. Public confidence. so
greatly shaken by the Slocum disaster,
has been largely restored; the business
has been profitable, 1 am told. and not
a single life was reported lost in the eX-
Cursion business this year."

Somerset Supreme Court.

Thursday afternoon the case of the
Inhabitants of Palmyra VS.. the Wavcr-
ly Wooden Co. of Pittsfeld, which be-
san before Il drawn jury "Wednesday
morning was nOn-Suited by order of
the court. The attorney for the plaintiff
Hon. Forrest Goodwin, filed exceptions
to the rulings of Judge Strout. After
that case had been disposed of DR..
John II. Wilson of Cambridge was nat
uralized, taking the oath which makes
him a citizen of the United States. He
was subject of Great Britain.
Friday morning the suit of Augustine
L. Bailey VS.. George II. IhOadeS was
commenced before the second jury. J. f.
Holman of Athens and T.. n. Merrill of
this town are counsel for the plaintiff;
Butler 4; Butler of Skowhegan for the
defendant. AS this trial is expected to
last through Saturday the first jury
was excused until Monday morning at
o'clock.
The present term of the supreme
court must come to an end on Jan. IL as
it will be impossible for Judge Strout
to remain here after that date. Ever
since the September term in 1904, which
was held in Grange hall owing to the
repairs which were in progress on the
court house, the time of the several
presiding justices have been limited
and they were obliged to leave before
All the cases readysfer trial could be
given a hearing. . Z
At that term the presiding justice
was Hon. l.. A. Emery. He was fol-
lowed at the December term year ago
by Justice Peabody. Then came the
March term this year with Justice
Powers on the bench, followed in Sep
TENDER by Justice Spear who had to
hurry away and who was also COM
PEELED to hold evening sessions in or
der that the last case on trial, that of
the State VS.. Mrs. Capola May Hoyt,
might be finished.
The result Of cutting the terms short
has caused II congested condition of
the docket To relieve this Chief JUS
tlce WiSwell is said to have stated that
at the March term he will send here a
judge who can remain all summer if
need be that the cases now piled up
may come to trial.
Never before We're 50 many cases
placed upon the assigned list as last
Tuesday. The total marked for trial
was ILL., and as only two have so far
come before a jury and the first week
is used up it seems probable that not
over half a dozen will be able to be
heard. The continued docket contained
345 civil cases and 30 equity eases. Then
OH Wednesday was added to these the
new entries, lis, making the grand to-
tai Of 492.
There are many attorneys who have
clients clamOrinG for a chance To come
to trial and the report that the chief
justice will give them Il judge next
March who will be able to hold court
as long as there are cases to be heard
will be pleasant news for them.

Alfred NJ. Frye. Colby 'G5, has been
the victim of serious burning acct
dent. according to reports. which have
left him in a critical condition. As Mr..
Frye was acting as Santa Claus in the
Unitarian church of the city of Leices-
ter. Mass, last Saturday evening, the
infammablc material with which he
was costumcd was ignited by contact
with one of the candles near the Christ
mas tree from which he was about to
assist in the distribution of presents.
He was horribly burned and inhaled
some of the flames which. if they do
not prove fatal will doubtless dsfig ure
HIM for life. Mr.. Frye has many friends
in this city who have watched his up
ward career in college with much re-
spect. He has, since his graduation,
been assistant principal of the Leices-
ter Academy. He is an alumnus of the

academic principals of the state of

iar. PRESIDENT Schurman urged that

IN HANDS OF THE COURT.
Testimony All in in Case Of Coffin
Court Martial at Annapolis.

Annapolis. Md. Dec. 29.-The court
martial Of Midshipman Trenmor Coffin.
Jr. for the alleged hazinS of Midship-
man Jerdone p. Kimbrougll was re-
sumed today. There is great interest
in the case and it is generally regarded
as the forerunner of a series of cases.
the facts in which have been discov-
cred by the board of investigation now
in session at the academy. The little
COURT DOM was full of spectators dur
ing the day. An hour was consumed
at the opening of the session in review
ing the testimony given yesterday.
The first witness today was MidShip-
man Overdown Whitmcyer. the room
mate of KimbrouSh. He was introduce
cd to rebut the testimony rejecting on
Kimbroughs reputation for truthful
ness. He said he had never heard Kim
hrouSh's reputation for vcracity qucs-
toned.
Frank A. BREASTED. classmatc. gave
similar testimony. There were no fur
thor witnesses and arguments Of coun-
sci began.
L. S. Thoall opened for the accused.
He declared that no presumption of
guilt arose from Coffin not taking the
stand. Mr.. Theall then discussed the
testimony Of Midshipman Hewlett. The
court he said had ruled that Hewlett.
who saw Coffin in the room when KIM
hrough was standing on his head. did
not incriminate himself in telling the
fact. The evidence, he said, did not
show that Coffin had done anything
more than Hewlett, SO that the court
stood committed to the contention that
nothing justifying the charge of haz-
ing had been found.
Lieut.. Commander McVay's testimo-
ny as to the confession" he said. was
not to be considered. because it had
plainly shown that the alleged confess
sion was not voluntary but that it had
been brought out by inducements Of
fered by that officer
The case was then given to the court.
