turned.

No News of the
Ball Children.

Brocl<ton. Mass. Dec. l5.-Tllere have
been absolutely no new developments to-
day in the case of the missing Ball chill
dren, and City Marshal Kingman said
that he is as much in the dark concern
ing their whereabouts as q man who has
made no investigation whatever. Owing
to yesterdays snowfall and today's unfa-
vorable weather conditions. no attempt
was made to continue the search. and it
IS probable that for the present it will be
suspended so far US the woods and other
places for concealment in this vicinity are
concerned.
Nothing has yet been developed to con-
vince the officials that the children are
dead. although they were earlier inclined
to that opinion. One theory has been ad-
vanced that they may nave been sent to
Scotland. where Mrs. Ball has d brother.
but inquiry Of various steamship lines has
resulted in 10 evidence that such is the
fact.
The police regard the letters received
by Mr.. Ball demanding a ransom for the
children as a hoax. although efforts will
be made to locate the writer. if possible
1t is hoped that the condition of Mrs
Ball. who is now in the Taunton Insane
asylum. will improve sufficiently to ena.

ALL HANDS SAVED.
Schooner New Era Total Loss at En-
trance to Halifax Harbor.

Halifax. n <, Dec. 15.-During a
thick snow storm today the British
schooner New Era from Port Hastings.
y. S., with coal. ran ashore on Sand
point at the entrance to this harbor
and became Il total loss. The crew
were rescued
For several hours the crew of the YES
Sc! were in great peril. and il was only
by the heroic work of the men on No.
pilot boat that they were rescued. The
waves were sweeping over the vessel and
it was impossible to launch a small boat
as it would not live in the sea.
The pilot boat cruised around the
stranded vessel but could not approach
her to take off the crew. Lines were then
fioated down to the New Era which were
made fast to the vessels nlasts. while
the pilot boat proceeded to the shore with
the other end. A temporary buoy was
then rugged and by this means the crew
were hauled through the surf 10 safety.
Some OF them were badly battered by the
seas, and all drenched through, but none
were seriously injured
A telephone message came from Fergl-
sons Cove tonight saying the vessel is
breaking UP. The schooner registered III
tons, was built at Malone Bay in 1900 and
owned by Charles V. McTosh Of Liver

NEW HAMPSHIRE SEASON
Has Not Been Satisfactory to Big
Game Hunters.

Laconia, n. H., Dec. 15.-The open
season for deer shooting in the south
crn counties of the state, which closed
Saturday, has not been all that was
expected by the hunters in Belknap
county. Excepting in the towns of Al
ton and Gilmanton, where the kill
ings" were about so, the expected
shooting of half tame deer has not ma
terialized to any great extent.
According to local sportsmen, not
over a half dozen have been killed in
this part of the country since Dec. l.
and less than one-h half this number in
side the city limits.
One reason assigned for this lack of
success is the absence of snow, making
it difficult to track the animals that
have been seen about the lake region
in large numbers.
There is now a growing feeling that
the shotgun feature Of the present law
was i'll advised, as it is said that a
large number of deer are manned and
will die from the effects Of the wounds
inflicted by gunshot. Two or three in
stances are cited where deer have been
found in the woods dead or with
broken legs, the result Of having re-
ceived a charge of buckshot.

Bears have been more plentiful. and
while the moose show a falling off Of

than usual.
The falling off in the number of deer
has been marked, and the old hunters
say it is not due so much to the small.

to the retreat Of the deer further into
