carried.

A very large gathering of bidders as
we'll as townspeople interested in the
sale, attended the auction sale of the
Rollins stock of dry goods and clothing
at the former Rollins store in the
Davis block yesterday. The bids. with
Harry Dickens of Orleans as auction
eer, started slowly at $1,000 and went
in hundreds to 50 600 At s9,05O,
some Philadelphia buyers. who seemed
not to be satisfied with the outlook of
obta ming lease of the store, stopped
bidding and lef5 the store Slowly the
bids at a rate of about S25 per bid
mounted to about $4,000. and from
that point the bidding became raise
of only SIS to each bid and was confined
wholly between ]. F. Batchelder and
F. t. Taylor of the McLoud company
of Hardwics At S10,155 Mr.. Batch
elder stopped bidding and the stock
and fixtures, were sold to the McLoud
company for $40, 160. Among the mer
chants and everyone interested there
seems to be feeling that the sale to
these Hardwick people was the very
best thing that could happen to this
stock of goods. The McLoud company
have been prosperous merchants in
Hardwick for years and in fact it is

Interior Explosion Maintained.
There can be no doubt. according
to the definite report of the subma-
rine's commander. which is further
confirmed by all other Information,
that the quick sinking OF the Lusi-
tania Is primarily attributable to the
explosion of the ammunition ship
ment caused by a torpedo. The Lusi-

all human probability have been
saved.

The imperial government. while
withholding it's final decision on the
demands advanced in connection with
the sinking of the Lusita MIA until re-
ceipt Of an answer from the Ameri-
can government, feels impelled in con-
clusion to recall here and now, that
it took cognizance with satisfact
OF the mediatory proposals submitted
Dy the united states government to
Berlin and London as a basis for a
modus vivendi for conducting the
! maritime warfare between Germany
and Great Britain. The imperial gov
ernment, by it's readiness to enter up
on discussion of these ! proposals,
then demonstrated its good intentions
In ample fashion. The realization of
these proposals was defeated as is
well known, by, the declinatory atti-
tude of the British government.
