moIc than thirty years the mystery
surrounding the sudden and unexplain-
ed disappearance of George Geyer, a
prospcious young man of this town.
has been partially cleared by the re-
ceipt of a letter, announcing his re
cent death in California. The lat-
ter which was rcceivcd by Postmaster
George Collamore, gave no details of
Geyer's life, the cause of his death
or even the name of the. place where
he. died. it merely stated that George
(layer, formerly of Friendship, Me.
had recently died “In California" leav~
ing considerable property and asking
if the man had any relativesvin l-‘rland-

l’oul'oae. lltaII. stated that (layer had
no relatives in California. and that un-
less the property was claimed by re-
latives here it probably would go to
strangers. He added that full details
would be given the relatives if they
would open correspondence with him.
A brother and sister who reside here.
and a brother at Somerville. Mass"
have communicated with Mr. Gibson.
but no reply to their letter has yet
been received.
The. disappearance of George Goycr
was one of the most mysterious with
which the officers of Maine evei' had to
deal, and it was finally accepted an
tact that the man had been murdered.
Geyer left his home in Friendship
early one morning in 187], when he was
abo It 30 years old, for a business trill
kland. intending to return that
evening. He did not do so and after
a time. the matter was placed in the
hands of the police. After several
days-a body bruised and mutilated be-
yond recognition was found and Gey-
er‘s relatives agreed with the officials
that the young man undoubtedly had
been murdered and that the body was
his. From that time until the letter
from Mr. Gibson arrived. Geycr had
been believed to be dead. Property

About 5 o’clock an electric light wire
became crossed with the fire alarm
wire at some point on the system. and
II a result. the alarm mechanism in
the Main street lire house was all bidir-

At its last meeting, the City Council
voted to have the system overhauled
and placed in “mm." condition, as

PARIS. .IIIII. 27r0tlicial advices re
ceived here from St. Petersqu-g show
that Foreign Minister lmmsdorg, be-
fore glvlng Russia's answer, has called
in the Japanese minister. hi. Kurluo.
The two ministers are now confor~
ring with the view of shaping the re-
sooner to mold conflict. This is
considered to be an explanation of the
despair-h from Tokio saying Japan bu
requested Russia to hasten 'her reply.
As Count hamsdorff and M. Kurlno are
raving conferences prior to the sub.
mission of the reply it is regarded as
evidence of Japan's insistence of an
early answer and of Russia's desire to
avoid, a response which might precipi-
tlte boatllitiea.
Count hamsdorff'a course in confer-
ring with M. Kurlno before answering
is cited as showing Russia's willingness
to go to the. last limit in order to avoid
war, lull it Is added. if the efforts of
Russia fail she will be prepared to
strike very bards blows from the out-
