INTERESTING PENSION CASE.
Mrs Ellen NJ. Mosely, Of Ellsworth,
Fined Five Hundred Dollars.

Mrs Ellen M. Mosely, OF Ellsworth,
was before the United States District
court in Bath last week to answer to two
indictments -one for obtaining a pension
under false pretenses, the other for fraud
ulently endorsing vouchers as the widow
of "Charles H. Sargent, of the Maine coast
guard. She was also the defendant in
civil action to recover 1882 which had
been paid her by the government on PEN
sion fraudulently obtained.
The case is an interesting and somewhat
band was Charles L. Sargent. whom she
married in 1860, and who was killed in tho
Civil war. She applied for and obtained
pension as his widow.
About 1874, she married AIvarado Moses.
ly, and of course her pension ceased.
Some years later Mosely and his wife were
divorced. After few years, Mrs. Moss1y
again applied for pension as the widow
of Charles L. Sargent. In the application
which she signed and swore to was the
statement that she was the widow of
Charles L. Sargent, and had never been
remarked.
In the course of time papers came from
Washington for her to sign, in which she
appeared as the widow of Charles III.
Sargent, of the Maine coast guards, man
who it may be mentioned incidentally is
still living
The papers were signed and returned
and the pension was ultimately granted,
and Mrs. Mosely has since been in the

Ellsworth Company Now Controls
Steamboat Line.
The placing last spring of the steamer
Percy V. on the route between Ellsworth
and Atlantic, ON Swans Island, has result
ed in the incorporation of the Ellsworth,
Bluehill & SWANS Island Steamboat Co.,
and the purchase of the boat from w. E.
Schwartz, of Camden.
The capital stock of the corporation is
10000, enough of which has been sub
scribed and paid in to purchase the boat,
and furnish sufficient working capital.
The patronage of the line since last
April has been sufficient to warrant the
assurance that the line will be paying
one. Through traffic arrangements have
been made with the Eastern Steamship
Co. and the Maine Coast Transporta-
tion Co.
A mail route has also been established
serving Ellsworth, South Bluehill, West
fremont, Mckinley and Atlantic, and is
in effect from April / to Dec. /, of each
year.
At meeting of the stockholders of the
corporation held to-day the following
directors were elected: Frank s. Lord, o.

SIGNING OF PEACE TREArK.
May Take Place at sngan,ore HiiI as
 Compliment to Roosevelt.

Compliment to Roosevelt.
 Oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. 3O.-'Whistle softly, we are getting into the thin tim Der, but we are not yet out of the woods" This homely admonition repre- sents accurately President Roosevelt's view of the situation at Portsmouth. Peace is in sight, but yet is not an &C., complished fact.
 The place to be selected for the ap- pending of signatures to the treaty raises question of interest. It was assumed, prior to the meeting of the conference that the treaty, wherever it might be negotiated, would be signed in Washington and be known hereafter as ''The Treaty of Washington as the conference itself, although held at Portsmouth. is known as the Washing ton conference.
 It is proposed that the signing of the treaty take place at Sagamore Hill as a compliment to President Roosevelt for his part in initiating the conference and brining it to @ successful issue The treaty would then be known as the "Treaty of Sabamore Hill," and would go down in history along with many other important conventions which have been concluded at places other than continental capitals. This question lies wholly with the conferees and it is likely to remain undertermin- ed until they practically have conclud- ed their part.

Two Cases Found-Forty-six New Ones
 in New Orleans.
 New Orleans, Aug. 30.-The official re- port to Wednesday, p. m., on the yell low fever situation follows:
 New cases, 46; total cases to date, l. SIS; deaths to-day, 4; total deaths to date, 271; new disease centers, 13.
 The number of new yellow fever cases has hovered around the same fig- ure for three days.
 The new feature outside of the city was the development of two cases in Vicksburg, which were pronounced yell low fever by Surgeon Guiteras. He has been relieved of duty with the New Orleans office and will be subject to or- ders directsfrom Washington.
 Reports from Patterson indicate an improvement in the situation, but the proximity of infection on 8 neighborfng plantation, where the owners have re- fused to cooperate with the authori- ties is a menace,
 Nothing has been heard from Lees vile for two days, but it is believed the situation has been relieved. Sur geon von Esdorf has orders to remain there as long as he thinks necessary, as that is the worst nest of infection now in existence.
