Stretch Lobsters' Tails.
Portland, Me-, Oct. 16 Plans for
a change in the measurement of lob"
sters to determine the minimum length
a crustacean must attain before it is
offered for sale are meeting with much
opposition of the part of the fishermen
of this state.
At present a lobster is measured
from his nose to the tip of his tail, and
must be at least ten and a half inches
long, Sometimes when a crustacean
has fallen a trifle short of the require
ments the fishermen, it is said, have
stretched the tail and so meet the re
quirements of the law. Wardens now
propose to have the measurement
made from the tip of the nose to the
base of the tail. Warden M J Hanna
of this city is consulting large whole
sale dealers who supply the Boston
and New York markets on the mean
length to be fixed with a view to hav
ing a change made by the Legislature
' The fishermen are vigorously oppos
ing any change. They assert that lob
sters are very scarce now, and that
anything tending further to restrict
their business would mean ruin.
Three Real Romances.
Here are three real life romances
found in the news of a single day.
Take your-pick:
In Norristown, Pa-, fifteen minutes
after marrying Amanda McClain,
Walter Johnston took a drink of
whiskey. 'Mandy deserted at once
' and will sue for a divorce,
i '; In Mauch Chunk, Pa., Agnes Sulli
van ten. minutes before she was to
,: marry Charles Arner called friend
: and laidr " fell Charley I do not
love him and therefore cannot marry
him."" She didn't, either.
In Iota, Kan , ten years ago C. H.
Gramly met Charlotte Hayes. " Only
once did the talk. . Then he went
away remembering. The other day,
his circumstances having changed,
".Gramly hunted up Miss Hayes and
she is now Mrs; Gramly. Kansas

KILLED BY EXPLOSION.;
Two Men Blown to Pieces at Oold Hill
by Dynamite.
Burgess Cox and Bill Frazier, two
well-known miners of Gold Hill, 15
miles from Salisbury, were killed last
night at 10 o'clock by the explosion of
dynamite in the mine where they ere
working.
The men were on the night shift
upon which there were 15 others en
gaged and had placed half a dozen
cartridges preparatory to making the
shot. They gave the signal then for
the discharge which is made by elec
tricity and before they had gotten a
safe distance, they were blown to
pieces. Both bod its were well multi
lated and partly buried under falling
dirt. They were not taken out until
this morning about three o'clock when
an undertaker prepared the remains
for burial.
One of the men was married and
had a family. This is the first acci
dent in sometime at Gold Hill. That
mine is the most famous in the State
and its president is Walter tjeorte
Newman, the copper magnate of New
York. Salisbury Post, 16th.
Going After Eperuna Spencer.
Salisbury, Oct. 16 The Demo
cratic executive committee is hot after
Blackburn since his failure and re
fusal to meet Hackett on the stump
and answer the charges of political
corruption and will now fl od the dis
trict with circulars containing the affi
davits of McEwen whom he caused
to serve, with his brother, a term in the
penitentiary. A copy of this circular
in which there is the sworn charge
that Blackburn accepted money and
promised McFwen immunity from
the law will also be mailed to-night to
President Roosevelt, Secretary Shaw.
Attorney General Knox, Uncle Joe
Cannon aud other big Republicans.
Mr. Hackett has repeatedly served
notice upon Blackburn that he was
making use of these charges on the
stump and asked him to a joint debate
for the purpose of making them face
to face. The latest challenge was met
by .Blackburn with a wave of the
hand: "We are not lockirg horns this
year." The Democrats generally have
regretted the necessity of having to
resort to this course, but the declina
tion of Blackburn to face the issue
renders impossible any other course.

wreckage.
The brakes of Lieber's machine be
came disarranged when he started down
the steep hill and he guided it down
the winding roadway at terrific speed.
Rounding a curve he saw ascending
the hill another machine containing
two women.
Realizing that a collision probably
meant death to the occupants of the
ascending car, Lieber jammed on the
emergency brake and ripped the ma
chinery of his car to pieces. The ma
chine skidded to the ou'-side of the
road and turned completely over. Lie

END CAME PEACEFULLY
Mrs. Jefferson Davis Died at 10:25
Tuesday Night at Hotel Majestic
Death Dne to Pneumonia.
New York, Oct 16 Mrs Jefferson
Davis, widow of the President of the
Confederacy, who had been ill for a
week at the Hotel Majestic, in this
city, died at 10:25 o'clock tonight-
Death was due to pneumonia induced
by a severe cold which Mrs. Davis
contracted upon her return from the
Adirondacks, where she had spent the
summer months. Although grave
fears were felt from the first, Mrs
Davis wonderful vitality, which
brought her safely through a similar
attack a year ago, gave hopes of ulti
mate recovery until last night, when
a decided change for the worse was
evident and the attendiig physicians
announced that the end was near. It
was then believed that Mrs Divis
could not survive the night, but she
rallied slightly during the early hours
to day. Shortly after 7 o'clock this
morning, she had a simi'ar spell, and
Rev Nathan A Seagle, rector of St
Stephen's Protestant Episcopal church,
was hurriedly summoned to give
religious comfort to the patient in her
ast moments of consciousness. 'The
clergyman remained some time and
an hour later it was announced that
Mis D. vis had lapsed into a state of
coma. 1 he period of uncncious
ness continued to the end.
Relatives at Her Bedside.
At the bedside when death came
were Mrs J Addison Hayes, of New
ark, N. J , the only su'viving daugh
ter f Mrs Dav.s; Jeffers m Dvis
Hayes, a grandson, who is a s udent
at Princeton University; Mrs Charles
K. Bateson, a niece; Dr. and Mrs
Gustave Webb, the latter a grand-
danghter, and Dr. Robert H. Wylie,
who with Dr. Webb had cared for
Mrs Davis throughout her illness. J.
Addison Hayes, husband of Mrs
Davis' only living child, had been
summoned from Colorado Springs and
was hurrying across the continent
when a message announciri Mrs.
Davis' death intercepted him. Mrs.
Davis has for some years made her
home in this city, where she had a
wide circle of friends. Throughout
her illness, solicitous inquiries regard
ing her condition were continually
made at her apartments.
Mr. Davis was 80 years old
