These gentlemen are interested in
establishing route from Washing

an excellent route from Washington
via Hagerstown or Harper's Ferry,
Woodstock, Staunton, Roanoke. Rad

ELDRIDGE IN GARDINER.

Gardiner, Me-, Dec. S.-(SpeciaD. -
Baffied at every turn, are the efforts
OF the police here to trace the move
ments of Fernald Eldridge, charged
with the murder of his father and
mother, on the Hallowell road in the
west part of this town.
Basing their Investigations on the
fact that he admits having slept at
his own home, the night before the
day of the murder, the officers have
traced him across the city to Ran
dolph back again to this city, and
when they believe an alibi is establish
ed for the young fellow to have it
shattered by the contradictory state-
ment, when someone else saw him.
Briefly stating, it is almost impos-
sible to piece together the logical re-
suit of the movements of the sus-
pected man, while in this city. No
logical conclusion can be made though
the dates in some cases dovetail neat
ly together and corroborate his own
story, the facts in another case repu-
diate them.
In the first place, Young Eldridge
says, he left his home at 5, yesterday
morning. He says he was in Gardi-
ner before s, and how did he get here

Cincinnati, Dec. S.-Schools were or
dered closed, today, and great incon-
venience is being caused by a water
famine due to the bursting of one of
the main supply pipes, Saturday. The
central portion of the city and many
of the suburbs, tonight, are without
water or with an inadequate supply
and the situation is becoming worse.
The drain on the Eden Park reserves
which supply the basin of the city
became 50 great that Mayor Hunt or
dered that whatever water is left in
them be cut off and used only in
fire emergency. The danger from fire
is very great and officials are taking
everv precaution to lessen this haz-
ard.
Hotels, restaurants and saloons, to-
night, are the chief sufferers. One hos
pitai is entirely without water supply.
Skyscraper elevators shut down, this
afternoon. Misunderstanding plants

Many of these closed, today.

MONDAYS INVESTIGATION.

West Gardiner, Me, Dec. S.-(Spe-
aD.-Obvious facts gathered by the
authorities investigating the death of
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbert B. Eldridge, who
we're found in their home, on the Hall
DWELL road, after the extinguishing of
a fire discovered by neighbors, their
bodies blacked and discolored, have
tended to make them adhere more
strongly to the theory that the cou-
pie were murdered and that the son
was the man who did the crime.
Important clues were picked up, to-
day, which, said the authorities, would
bear directly upon the proving of
motive for which the two were killed.
The son is, tonight, in the Augusta
Jail. awaiting the coroner's decision
and arraignment in the Augusta mu-
nicipal court upon some definite
charge.
1t is understood here he has re-
tanned Frank G. Farringeton of Au-
gusta as counsel.
Following an autopsy in Hallowell,
the investigators adjourned to the
Washington schoolhouse on the Halo
we'll road, where the coroner's jury
was in session. the greater part of
the afternoon. Some 10 or 16 witnesses
were examined, including Dr. Merrill,
who lives across the way from the
Eldridge home, and his son, Harold,
Fred Blake the man who pulled the
body of the Elder Eldridge from the
burning room, James Small, two car
conductors, Mrs. Horne, and many 9TH
