These vessels, assembled off the SellIjr Islands, have turned their prows westward for a raid on the Atlantic coast.

9, HE WAS EXONERATED Of Death Caused by His1 Bloodhounds. (American News Service) Mt. Vernon, 111., Dec. 31. A coroner's Jury today exonerated John Roberts, owner of the pack of bloodhounds which killed an unidentified man, trailed as a burglar, and tore his body to pieces. The hounds, which followed the trail from Carrier Mills Into the country, upon getting close to the suspect, broke away from Roberts and cornered their victim in a shed. Worn out by fleeing, the man was unable to get out of danger and was pounced upon and killed by the maddened animals before Roberts reached the scene. No clew to the Identity of the man has been found. His face and body were so badly lacerated by the hounds that the body bears only a faint resemblance to that of a human being. The body wajs burled in the paupers field today. The dead man was suspected of robbing a house at Carrier Mills of several hundred dollars. The constable was unable to trace him and called on Roberta for aid with his hounds. The dogs found the trail fresh and took up the track. The chase lasted two hours.

WAR CERTAIN IN -SCIENCECHURCH Mrs. Stetson and Her Followers Will Begin Campaign in January.

(American News Service) New York, Dec. 31. The first big conflict of the campaign of Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson and her followers in New York to gain control of the Chriscity early in January when the Stetsonites attempt to gain control of the first church of New York by electing five of the nine trustees of that institution. The keynote of the campaign, which Is i'ow on, will be "the immortality of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy." Mrs. Stetson declares that there are at least 800 members of the church who look to her rather than Virgil O. Strickler, who succeeded her as first reader when she was excommunicated, as their leader. Early in June tie election of five trustees, the controlling body of the church will be held. The "immortal' faction claim that they will be able I to elect five of their followers which will give them control of the first 1 l church of this city. This will be an opening wedge for the control of the Mother church in Boston and eventually the entire sect with its adherents. Should Mrs. Stetson and the "immortals' win their point in the fight for trustees, the action will undoubtedly be contested by the "regulars" in court.

Prospects for carrying out the Evansville and Richmond traction prcject, which were particularly bright in 1SS9 when the right of way was purchased and much of it graded, and which at intervals since then has been worked on. were knocked galley-west today when the property in Wayne county was sold at a receiver's sale, in tl;e court house. About thirty-five tracts in the county were so!d by Henry T. Burns, acting as agent for the receiver, who was ordered to sell the property by the federal court in order that obligations of the company might be paid. The high

est price paid was $175 while the; average price paid was about one hundred dollars. Altogether there are j 150 tracts in the county, including several in Richmond, which were not offered for sale. In fact ouly those tracts for which bids had been received previous to putting the land on the block were offered for sale. The property in this county is a short distance south of the National road. It is about one hundred feet wide and is graded, in some places being twenty or thirty feet above the level of the adjacent farm land. Owners of farms which were spjlit by the road were the principal purchasers. There are many provisions in the deeds to the property which did not make the land attractive for speculative purposes.
