morning, with marks on her throat indi-
eating she had been strangled.
Chief Of Police NIcCabe. at the house Of
Frank Schermerhorn, the Compton coach
man, found him under the bed with his
throat cut This the authorities believe
clears up the case which had caused an
all-day investigation.
SchermerhoTn was not dead, but weak
from loss Of blood He had been about
the place all day, glibly going over the
incidents attending the finding of the
nurse body. after the frightened serv-
ants had rung a bell at his house asking
for assistance Mr.. and Mrs. Compton
had gone to New York.
Chief DfcCabe heard that Miss Bryner
had complained Of advances by the
coachman. and that the coachman had
been drinking last night On entering
the coachman's house McCabe called his
name and received no answer. He en-
tered the kitchen and found on a table
note reading:
Ny Dear Wife: I am not guilty. l write this to
cay good-by. Your loving husband. FRANK.
Schermerhorn. who is twenty-six years
old, had been married Several years, and
his wife has been in Vassar Hospital for
three weeks iii Of fever. After reading
the note, Chief McCable again called,
Frank" and receiving no answer, en-
tered a bedroom where he heard sound
as Of dripping water. He struck a light,
and hearing a moan, looked under the
bed and saw Schermerhorn. A razor lay
nearby. Schermerhorn was conscious, and
said:
"Oh, please, chief, let me die. I would
rather that than go 20 Jail"
He denied he had assaulted Miss Bryner
DR.. McKensie sewed up the cut He
said that the man had a fair chance TO
live, as the jugular vein was not cut.

Marshfeld. Greg, Jan. 13.-Of thiTt,

on the Goose Bay bar yesterday and
wrecked. two have been rescued and six
others, including Capt. Dugan and Har-
old Mills, were seen to-day, from shore.

Harry KentSeII. first assistant engineer,
was found unconscious In the breakers
late yesterday, and early to-day ]. Rob
insOn, second assistant, was washed
ashore.
Gives Account of Mates.
KentzeI regeined consciousness, and
said that Capt. Dugan and Mills, the
passenger. had been bound to one OF the
masts. Robinson added that when the
forward mast, TO which he and 1--WE 9th
ers had climbed. went by the board. the
master the first officer, Mills. and two
seamen were alive in the after rigging.
These. Robinson said, were the only ones
left on the ship. Watchers on the beach
soon after Robinson was rescued said
that they saw a light fare from the
wreck.
All night watchers patrolled the shore.
Among them were c, J. Mills, steamship
agent of the Southern Pacific Company ct
Marshfeld, and his wife. Early IN the
night they gave up hope Of again seeing
alive their son Harold, boy of twenty
years, who had left them bound for col
lege.
Marine Glasses Dash Hopes.
When Kentzell was rescued hope for &
moment sprang Up. only to be dashed to
earth by the assertion Of II. J. McKeowan
that he had seen both masts Of the
Czaria through marine glasses and that
a rope ladder was carried away and with
Il its human burden.
The steamer left port yesterday after
noon in a gale. Tremendous seas were
breaking over the bar as the Czaria
passed into the ocean. The crew crowded
around the rigging. and could be seen
making frantic signals for help, while
hundreds on shore were compelled 70
stand by and see man after man washed
overheard. So rough was the sea that ef-
forts Of the Efe-saving crew to launch
boat were futile. Attempts to shoot a
life line across the vessel failed.

are Well prepared TO carry on the work.
''Out Of this work Of the Forest Service
grew the conservation movement, which
has taken so remarkable q hold on the
nation. Less than three years ago the
word Itself, IN its present meaning. was
substantially unknown, and the move

for which It stands are received as axio-
matte. It is only the execution Of them
which remains IN doubt

''The great conference Of governors in
the White House, IN May 1908, led to the

of the customary patronage from mem

made it clear TO people VINO saw him yes

to determine whether or not he should
give patronage TO any man who was op-
posing all that the Republican party
stood for, and all (which he. as the
'titular head" Of that party, was asking
Congress TO enact into law.
He meant. It was explained that this

A temporary loan Of not exceeding
$500 was authorized, to be paid from

by a unanimous rising vote.

Eulogy for the Grand Trunk.

In the London "rimes" of February
4th, an article appears from one of their
travelling correspondents descriptive of a
tour through America, in which the fol-
lowing appears:
"By far the finest travelling l have
done so far in America was over the
Grand Trunk line from Montreal to To-
ronto. The Grand Trunk have admit
teddy perfect roadbed. We ran at
about fifty miles per hour on the Inter,
national Limited and none Of the Eng.
lish Railways could beat it for steadi'
ness"
This eulogy from one who is world
wide traveller is very gratifying to Cana

Promptly at l o'clock business was re-
sumed, the great contest Of the day,
over the South Paris sewer, coming be-
fore the meeting. A motion was
promptly made to pass over the article,
and N. D. Bolster addressed the meeting.
He referred to the feeling between the
village and the rural districts, but said
It seemed to him that this is question OF
right and justice. He called attention
to the formation of the surface of the
earth in South Paris village, the pot
holes near the center of the village, into
which sink drains, water closets and
surface water drain, and to the drainage
problem on Western Avenue. He show
ed that the village paid much in taxes
that is expended In other parts Of the
town.
H.G. Brown of West Paris answered
in spirited manner. saying that South
Paris had sevsnty.fl five per cent of the
school money. He alleged that South
Paris was hog. He iustanced the large
cost of putting In drains at West Paris.
"This is unjust, utterly unjust" said
Mr.. Brown. "You never can make us
reconciled in the extreme parts Of the
town."
Mr.. Wright said that he thought no
citizen of South Paris had any desire to
do injustice to other parts of the town.
II West Paris needs an appropriation for
sewer, within reasonable limits, he
would gladly vote for 1t If he had the
opportunity. It Is the duty of the town,
he said, 10 take care of the surface wa
ter, which is now running into the pot
holes about the village. He spoke fur
Their about the need of drainage in q
number of places about the streets. He
stated that the proposition to be pre-
sented was to appropriate $500 at the
rate of 500 year for five years.
Mr.. Brown said that he wouldn't vote
for q sewer at West Paris, because he
wouldn't vote to tax the outskirts of the
town.
On viua uoce vote the motion to pass
over the article was declared lost. A
call for a poll of the house was made,
and Mr.. Wright and Mr.. Perham were
appointed tellers. The count resulted
in the defeat of the motion to pass over,
by q vote of 1911 to 2S1.
Mr.. Wright then presented motion
20 f8ib0 lilo bum VI vo,VOV hot PuouS
sewer In South Paris, 500 OF 1t to bt
raised each year for five years. The
motion was declared carried on q uirc
uoce vote, and no one doubted 1t.
L. 8. Swan moved the fee for enter
ing the sewer be raised from $500 t
I $4,000. Mr.. Wright moved to amend
BY making the rate $500. There wal
some discussion as to the rate to bt
charged for entering the sewer, and Mr.
Wright finally Withdrew his motion, ant
the motion to make the fee $500 wal
lost. Several motions and amendments
were presented, and the vote as finally
passed was that the price should be fix
ed at $25 for each house, with on,
family, and for each additional family
$40 In addition.
The article relating to the purchase o.
| stone crusher and steam roller came VI
next, and George R. Morton advocated
building crushed stone roads, saying tina
the spirit of the times Is in the direction
of good roads. He read letters from
number of towns which have ston
crushers- aud steam rollers, all beinl
favorable to the crusher and roller. II
