A burly colored man, evidently a com panion of the other, had been waiting outside the shop while the trade was beipg made and as soon as it was com pleted, he entered and took the money which the proprietor passed over. Both men then departed. _ Continuing their investigations, the officers made startling discovery which will have an important bearing on the case, to the effect that the watch of Mias Agnes McPhee of .Somer ville, auother "Jack the Slugger'' vic tim, had been pawned at the riame Cambridge street shop on Oct. 3, the day after her murder, by a white man whose description tallied exactly with that of the man who brought the Mor ton watch to the pawnshop Saturday night. The descriptions of these men is said by the police to agree to a | striking extent with that of the sus pect Mason, and the pawn broker will lie given a chance tomorrow to identi fy him, if pumibte. as his visitor. * COLUMBIA 8 GLASS FACTORY THE ELECTION.

Throughout the examination he absolutely denied that he knew anything about the assault cases The police assert that four or five witnesses declare positively that they saw Mason in Waverly Saturday night. Mason’s brother says Alan is in bet ter mental condition than he was some time ago but he realizes that Alan is an insane man. One fact considered significantly by the police is the ad mission that it has been the habit of Alan Mason to take a car ride almost every evening before going to bed.The ride was taken as usual Sunoay even ing but Mason declares he did not go in the direction of Waverly. Later developments in the case is very damaging to Mason; It was announced that the watch of Miss Clara Marlon, Mason's last victim, had been found in a Cambridge street I pawnshop where It had been pawned u H raou m • of gUm a day of 3 irrn 175 and 2UO gru ng to the site of It Hi cral water, l*eer and whiskey bottle*. The factory's payroll amounts to aiiout 14,000 a week. * The plant consumes 10 tons of coal a day, and has lieen keeping a supply without difficulty. Three cars of sand week are necessary. This tomes from Killian's in this county and is washed, screened and dried by the Killian Fire Brick company. The coke used in the lehrs for annealing the ware after it Is blown is obtained from the gas works here. Two car loads of soda ash per week are used; this comes from Syracuse, N. Y. The glassmakers’ lime comes from Toledo, (>., and the manganese, afepnic, anti mony and other ingredients come from various portions of the west. The factory runs with an improved system of gas produces, and a uniform heat of 4,000 degress (Farenheit.)

The Republicans carried very few congres sional districts in this section. An Unexpected Victory. The Columbia State says the Demo cratic victory in Rliode Island was al most entirely unexpected. If the Democratic campaign managers made any claims of carrying that State they were generally deemed too unimpor tant for attention. Yet it seems that the governor, the lieutenant governor and the congressman are Democrats while the lower house of the general assembly is evenly divided between the two parties, the senate beinjuBtlll strongly Republican.

The shippers have objected to the government importing rice, and have offered Governor Taft a lengthy expla nation In justification of the prohibi tive prices prevailing for rice. They say in effect that the Philippine crop is always Insufficient for the home de mand, and that the present crop in Indo-China is a failure,tho-grain there selling 50 per cent, higher than It did last year. The Asiatic growers have issued a notice that no rice will be available between December and Feb ruary. The prices of hemp caused the Fili pinos to neglect their scanty rice cul tivation. The shippers deny that there is a pool to control prices, and declare that the high freight rates are the natural result of tbe fluctuating currency. The price is enhanced by the long quarantine, Increased wages and the high duty. Ttiey asgert that the local tonnage Is Milk-lent to han dle tbe buMioem. Uoklen Mtreeta.
