New York, Nov. 29.--With renewed

The examination Of John ID. Rockefeller
in the STANDARD oil case. At the outset
Kellogg tried 10 establish the personal
stand Of the stockholders prior TO 1874,

less than fifteen minutes Kellogg had
forced the admission that the prcsi-
dents Of the New York Central, the
Erie and the Lake Shore railroads are
directors of the Standard Oil company.
Later Rockefeller stated that in each
case where the companies were acquired
the principal stockholders automatical-
ly acquired holdings in the Standard.
Throughout Rockefeller pleaded loss

New Hampshire Leads.

The Union always takes keen delight
in claiming for New Hampshire every
bit Of credit that belongs to her; and a
feeling Of home pride invariably perme-
ates this sanctum when New Hampshire
proves -as she often has pToved--to
have introduced an idea which other,
and more pretentious states, deem Wor-
thy Of adoption. 1t ID with sincere
pleasure, therefore, that this paper sets
forth the precedence Of New Hampshire
in the matter Of forest coming towers, "
in which State Commissioner Whipple
of New York is enthusiastically inter-
ested.
The persons to whom New Hampshire
owes her priority in this particular are
Mcssr. Anderson and Brice, proprietors
of the Mount Washington and Mount
Pleasant hotels, at Breton Woods, who
made a coming tower, last spring Of the
bald dome of Mount Rosebrook, which

which wandering fishermen and spark
scattering locomotives annually set fire
to the country, they had watchnan
stationed by the telephone on the dome,

range Of woodlands, it was the duty of

FIRE SWEEPS OVER
DUBLIN, N. H.
Destroys Leffingwell Hotel Buildings
Stone Li5fary Checks Flames Saw
ing Part of Town.

Dublin, n, H., Nov. 23.--A fire which
sent its beacon rays for scores Of
miles up the state and across the bor-
der into Vermont last night swept the
town of Dublin, situated high up on
the north side Of old Monadnock noun
tain, completely destroying the Lef.
tingwell house, one OF the most aristo-
cratic summer hostelries in the state;
the hotel annex and stable, and the
Unitarian parsonage, occupied by Rev,
j. i. Seward DID.
Directly in the path of the flames
we're the town library, the town hall,
.he stores of the town and many hand
scnie residences A water drouth which
las been felt in the tbwn for many
weeks rendered the ordinary fire fight
ing apparatus powerless, and aid was
~ mmoned from Peterboro, Marlboro
end Morrsyilie
With the assistance which came from
out Of town the FIRE was finally checked
by the use of chemicals. The town
library, being of stone, also served to
check the flames which were famed
into fury by the winds sweeping across
the mountain side and for several hours
threatened to leap across the structure
and attack the town house next be-
yond.
The Leffingwell estate is owned by
Henry r. Le9Iingwell, and during the
summer the hotel accommodates some
$50 guests. At this time it was in the
charge of caretaker. The man had
left the hotel for supper, and while he
was absent the fire broke out in the
attic of the house, from some unknown
cause. The loss on the hotel property
is estimated at $4,000, and is partially
covered by insurance.
At The Unitarian parsonage some of
the household furniture was saved. al
though the house was completely de-
stroyed. The loss on the house is
about S2.50O, partially insured.

returned Saturday night.
His visit to Boston was the second
taken by Montpelier man for the pur-
pose of finding Mrs. Cochran. The first
was made by staet's Attorney Gates,
who wasn't satisfied with the certificate
of Boston physician that Mrs. Cochran
was at the bedside of her sick sister,
Mrs. Nellie Terney, and that her SER
vices were required there. Hence, her
failure to appear in court when her case
was called. States Attorney Gates re-

Immediately called. That caused her
bondsman, Senter, to make his visit
to Boston, with the result above noted.

and remanded her to jail until the regll-
lar session Of the court for sentence,

But Neither Grace Nor Devins Could
Win The Meet.

The wrestling match at the opera
house Saturday evening between Jack
Grace of New York and Arthur De
Vine Of Marlboro. Mass, was un,
doubtedly one OF the best and most
evenly contested seen in the city this
season The result was not as satis-
factory as II might have been as each
man won fall and IL was necessary
10 call the bout NJ II o'clock to allow
Deyine 10 catch the late train.
Referee Fred Bruce annodnccd the
bout would be eateh-as.cateh.c
best two out Of three, pin falls, and
also that II the match was not de-
cided at II o'clock IL would be called
and the man having the advantage de.
clared the winner. As the contestants
care TO the mat they were introduced
by Referee Bruce and Grace especially
received a round of hearty applause.
They appeared evenly matched in build
and weight, there being hardly pound
difference between them.
Devine seemed 20 be seizing his op-
ponent up during The first few minutes
and allowed Grace TO do all of the of
fensive work and then began TO work
90 secure a hold. The men took hold
after hold but neither was able to get
one that would pin his opponents shoul-
ders TO the mat for the required in
slant. After 80 minutes Of arduous
work Deyine got the New York boy in
a body scissors and this combined with
an arm lock did the business for Grace
and the first fall was awarded to the
Massachusetts, man.
In the second 60. both men came up
fresh and both played the game for
business. Several times Grace appear
ed to have Deyine in holds that would
bring his shoulders TO the mat but each
time the latter broke them and freed
himself by sheer superior strength.
Throughout the bout Devine appear
ed the stronger but Grace was the
Quicker and finally with a quick turn
caught his opponents body in full
leg Nelson which finally broke his arch
aud forced the fall The second fall
was made in 43 minutes.
The men were go-and- go in the last
OF the bout and during the last 10 min
utas as the timekeeprr called the min
utes. the men worked like fends to Sc
re an advantage which would secure
fall and tile decision. They attempted
hold after hold which was no sooner
made than it was broken and at the
expiration Of the time neither seemed to
have any advantage.
Deyine has a match tonight with
"Kid" Shampo at Marlboro, Mass, and
Grace win wrestle Bourbon at Clare
mont, n. H., Thursday afternoon.

Washington, D. G., Nov. 23.--Chief
Willkie of the secret service yesterday
announced that new counterfeir IS
silver certificate (Indian head) has been
detected in circulation, having first
made its appearance in Providence, II,
]. It puEports to be one OF these au.
thorixed by the act of Aug. 4, 1856, ser.
les OF 1899, check letter ID, face plate
number 2, back plate number 66G, with
portrait of 0nepapa.
The officials declare it is a dangerous
photomechanical production, printed on
one piece of heavy bond paper, but a
defect in the plate gives the Indian
chief a cross-eyed expression. The blue
seal closely approximates the genuine in
color, but it is badly printed, being
coarse and rough. with many broken
lines. The back OF the note is a very
deceptive piece of work, and except for
being light in color, appears much like
the genuine. In the sample furnished
Chief Wilkie there appears to have
been noa tempt to initiate the distri-
buted silk fibre.
A new counterfeit S. United States
note also has been discovered. IL pur-
ports to be one authorized by the act Of
March 3, 1868, series of 1907, with a
portrait of jackson, check letter ID,
number AS, 247,176. This spurious pro-
duction is straight photograph with
the seal and denominational design on
the face of the note touched up with
the color and the hack printed in mud
dy green. The note, however is by no
means eleverly devised and should not
deceive persons familiar with money.

tor Of million-lollar proposition in

town for some time. The news recalls
TO Barre people the elaborate splurge
which Mr.. Campbell made in this city
a few years ago, with Office at 40 Main

Associated with Campbell is Charles
Endieott Brown, who. as an officer of

company, recently was indicted, convict
ed and fined in the federal courts. The
names George w. Heinze and Harrison

process, remain the only element Of mys-

Campbell and his associates are said
to have planned to float bonds for the
erection Of twenty.story building in

Campbell appeared in Chicago in the
early 00's. In 1898 he became known
as the author OF Campbell's illustrated
