Connecticut New York Boundary t,
 Be Marked by New Monuments.

Portchester, Oct 13.-Preliminary work in connection with the resur- veying of the New York Connecticut state line was begun here yesterday by party of surveyors from the of fees of the state engineers at Albany and Hartford. The work for the state of New York will be under the super vision of H. P. Willis and H. Robin son Buck is in charge for Connecti- cut. It is proposed simply to retrace the old state line agreed on in 1860, but not finally accepted by Connecti- cut till 1881. The copper belts marking the line in many places will be replaced by the granite monu- ments.
 It is unlikely that the actual sur vey will be prosecuted far before in element weather interrupts 1t for the winter, but the new granite monu- ments will be got on the ground while the traces of the old and defective landmarks are still decipherable, and will be placed in position in the spring The work is expected to ex' tend well into the summer of 1909 The immediate task In hand is tC "tie" this joint state line to the gov
 ernment primary triangulatior points along the Hudson river.

GOODWIN. GOODRICH WEDDING.
Report That Maxine Elliott Is to Wed
 Harry McMillan.

Reno, Nev, Oct 13.-Though It IS only little more than week since Nat Goodwin obtained divorce from Maxine Elliott in local court, 1t was asserted yesterday he is hurrying east to board transatlantic steamer with the purpose of marrying Edna Good rich in London.
 Last summer it was reported thaS Miss Goodrich was to wed Harry Mac Milan, part owner of the rich Con- solidated mines at Goldfield. Now it Is declared that MacMillan, who is still in the twenties, multi-million- aire and whirlwind wooer is to wed Maxine Elliott.
 It is also reported that the prime reason of Miss Elliott's failure to op- pose Goodwin's divorce suit was the favorable views she took of MacMil- lan's attentions.
 George Appleton, Miss Elliott's per. sonal manager, was seen last night al Daly's theater, where Miss Elliott is playing in "Myself-Bettina." and ht pronounced the story of her engage ment to Harry MacMillan absurd Why, she does not even know Mac Milan" said MT Appleton. "I don'l see why they are continually circu lating such stories about Miss Ell l liott."

MAY WIN BY DEFAULT.
Opponent for Minnesota Governor
 ship Said Not to Be Citizen.

Minneapolis, Oct 13.-Governor John A. Johnson will have no opposi- tion in his third race for governor of Minnesota if report from Madison, the home of Jacob F. Jacobson, his republican opponent. is true.
 It is declared that MT Jacobson is not citizen of the United States and therefore cannot run for office. MT Jacobson was born in Hjelmeland Norway, in 1S49.. He came with his parents to America in 1857 and they settled in Fayette county, Ia. The father, who went by the name of Jacob E.. Fore. died in 1875. The present candidate for governor and his brothers had then moved to Min. nesota. The sons had followed the Norwegian custom, taking the name of Jacobson from their fathers first name.
 Inquiry has been made at Wes' Union, the county seat of Fayetts county, Ia, but the records do no show that Jacob E. Fore was eyel naturalized. If he failed to become citizen then it was necessary for hi: sons to take out papers to become voters. This Jacob F. Jacobson hal never done, it is said.
 The matter Is being thoroughly in vestigated by the republican stat' committee.
