washing it away
No one lived near the Pond, so that the
breaking away Of the dam was not known

was thrown into the chasm made by the
swollen stream. One of the iron rails on
the opposite track was driven completely
through the engine
The engineer, William Guile. of Prov
idence, and the fireman, George Eldridge.

their posts, and their charred remains

a laughahle swindle has Just come to
light in Washington. Some fellows of
the sawdust class thought they could turn
penny by playing on the affections of
the loyal ot1lce-holders at the South. So
they sent out circulars, in the name of the
President, saying that funds We're wanted
to perfect secret party scheme to obtain
and keep control of the south, and direct
ing remittances TO be made to q certain
address at Washington. The plan was so
like the genuine ones of the party that it
bore abundant fruits, and fired the loyal
hearts Of the office holders so that remit
tanees poured in to the scamps in immense
streams. They got q very large sum by
this ingenious dodge.

ne Bank of England Forgeries.

The recovery of nearly quarter Of a
million OF dollars of u. $. bonds which
had heen ohtaned Ivy Mcdonald alias
Bidwell and associates in the late Bank of
England torgcries was made on Tupsdqv.
II appears that on March 18th a person
calling himself G. Losing. brought a
trunk, said 10 contain wearing apparel
old and in use. to the office of the North
Atlantic Express Co., London, which trunk
was addressed to Major Geo. Mathews.
New York. and to be kept in bond until
called for The trunk reached here March
goth and was kept in bond until Saturday
last, when 4 woman calling herself Mrs.
Geo. Mathews, presented an order duly
signed for it, delivery Meanwhile the
counsel for the Bank Of England received
some Information as to the frank and it
was detained until to-day, when under an
order OF the Supreme Court it was opened
1t contained wearing apparel, old and in
use, two gold watches, miscellaneous a.
ticles. and three packages of u. S. $50
and 1910 bo0ds amounting to $500. $50
The bonds were found to be identical in
class, amount and numbers with those adj
vertised by the Bank OF England to have
been obtained by the Bidwell forgers.
A POOR INVESTMENT. Probably one of
the most complete surprises recently re-
ported IN the newspapers was that which
a young man ut Hamilton, Ohio, expert
enced last week. He was a native of
Poland, aud came to this country about
a year ago 10 make Il home. In the usual
fashion he laid up money, secured a good
place, and not long ago sent to Poland
large part of his funds to beautiful
young girl who had agreed to come over
and be his wife as soon as lie should send
for her. lmpatiently he waited until IL
telegram from New York informed him
OF her arrival there and of the hour when
she would be at Hamilton At that hour
ne was at the depot. She emerged from
the ears accompanied by a nice young
man who did not seem to consider himself
at all out Of place. To avoid misunder-
standing she introduced the stranger as
her husband, and explained matters to the
astonished settler of Hamilton Recover
ing early from her fancy for him she had
married this fellow, and ever since had
been pining for America The money
that he sent over SO kindly she had used
for that purpose, and they had come all
the way from New York to Hamilton to
thank him for it. They were not really
welcome, and the young exile does not
consider the investment a good one but
varied adventures that the Enoch Ardens
Of the world have suffered or survived.

cents Il Year rs postage. The memory of
men who are not gray headed runneth
not to the time when papers were not

hard feelings against the noble army of

sweet to bleed for ones country. That

lie New York Sun publishes a state
meht IN relation to the robbery which, it
VIII be remembered, occurred in Wash
lngton toward the close of the last Con-
gress and Of which the late Vice President
was the victim. A sharp thief, saws the
Sun, got wind OF the fact that Colfax had
concealed u box of valuable bonds and
stocks in his trunk during the investiga-
ton, where it was supposed to be hidden
from human eyes. To open the trunk
and carry off the precious contents is said
to have been the work of an expert whose
keen scent had made him Il fellow-lodoer
with Colfax for that express purpose. 1t
is stated that the story that only thousand
OF two dollars, some iewclry, laces and
toggery were stolen was a sham. ana
that, in point OF fact, a tenth of a million
had been stolen, which he did not dare to
admit except secretly to the authorities.
Before leaving the national Capitol it is
sad that Colfax knew that the police had
gof on the track OF the thieves and that
The bulk OF the stolen property had been
recovered. The amount carried off. ac-
cornihS 10 report, was between ninety
and one hundred thousand dollars in
United states coupon bonds and stocks of
various kinds, which is said to have been
left him, presumably, by some other man
besides Nesbtt Mr.. Colfax is now in
formed that he can be accommodate
with a precise statement of all the re-
covered property lately in his private
possession. He is reported to have per
sistcntly striven to prevent any publicity.
and to have wilIfully deceived his friends
with false versions of the robbery Police
authorities everywhere keep an official
record, and that will show the exact
amount and description of stocks and
bonds which he received back. The

The Press and the Pulpit,

curious triangular fight has arisen in
Psstland, something like the three corner
ed duel related by Capt Marryatt. On one
side of the contest at the natural seaport
is ranged Rev. Mr.. Buck, of the Park
street Unitarian church, who on Easter
Sunday preached sermon attacking the
ceremonials and observances of the Episco-
pal and other churches, discourse which,
we are bound to say, was not conceived or
expressed in the best taste. This was
published in the Portland Daily Press, in
accordance with the custom which that
paper has OF giving place occasionally to
dlscourses from each and all the city pull
pits. Then comes Rev. Asa Dalton. Rec
tor of st. Stephens, with letter to the Press
attacking the sermon as of mischievous
tendencies, and censuring the Press for
its publication. These make the three
sides of the controversy. But it spreads
like circles in the water when a stone is
thrown in. Even the prayers and humil-
laliohS OF faSt Day could not Stay it. At
conference meeting in the Payson
Memorial Church, it was brought up,
where the sermon was denounced as
'abominable" and ''bold intidelity" A
clergyman asserted that the Press and
other papers could be hired to insert
whatever was desired This was going
too far, and transcending the limits of
legitimate criticism SO the Press of the
following day pays its respects to the rev.

The Rev. gentleman has not since APP
peared in the arena, being probably great
" discouraged about reforming news
papers. When an Individual is found de-
nouncing the press, It can generally be
ascertaned by 4 little inquiry, that he
has attempted to use it in furtherance
of his personal interests. and has failed.
It is under those circumstances generally
that the vrtuous spasm comes on.
