Arrested Just in Time.

Some OF the future plans OF Lube, Stat
terly, and their companions, who were
arrested short time ago. in Boston, have
been exposed, and it appears that they
had laid out an extensive criminal cam
paign. 1t is known that one of their next
moves, just before they were arrested,
was the robbery of South End man.
who was said to have the sum of $50. 900
IN his house, and of their other plans a
Boston contemporary speaks as follows:
The next job on the list was to break
open the vaults of the savings bank at
acknowledgement, where they hoped to get
100000. With this money they intended
to buy steamer, proceed to Calais, Me.
and there obtain about one quarter of
million of dollars by slight surgical
operation performed with '.jimmies" upon
the vaults of the St. Stephens Bank, lust
across the river from Calais. Their future
thereafter was to consist Of a cruise in the
Cult OF Mexico, sale of the steamer and
a division of the plumber would separate
the gang. There is every evidence to
prove that these robbers were thoroughly
organized and equipped. Murray, one
OF their number, is a politician in the 9TH
Ward, and at the time of his arrest, had
a petition in the Mayors office request
ing his appointment on the police.
His associates say that he intended to
use the position of police officer to cloak
their movements, and that he frequently
assured them that, if they got into trouble.
he would see them through. He (Murray)
boasts of confidential friend on the
present grand jury, and also stated that
he had number of supporters within
City Hall. Either or all of these, he as
serted, would help him OF his friends out
of difficulty at any time. Lewis is the
leader of the gang He contrived and
superintendent the manufacture OF all their
tools. and laid out the work On his per-
son, when he left the jail to 60 to court,
was found wire cunningly filed and
twisted, so that it could pick the lock of
any handcuff in existence, and there are
other evidences that he understood his
nelarious business. Fortunately, he and
his associates are now where they can do
damage to nobody but themselves, and

A Serious Stabbing ARRAY.

PORTLAND, Me-, April "a. Last night
a young man named Farwell of Rockland
who bears a disreputabe character, so the
police say, went into Nelson Leighton's
notorious den, and while there became
drunk and disorderly. He was put out
of the house, land a man named McCallum,
about forty-tive years of age, assisted. As
Farwell reached the pavement he made
believe fall and as McCallum stopped to
pick him up, Farwell struck McCallum
fearful blow with a knife. cutting deep
cash from the back of the neck over to
the mouth DR.. Ring was called and said
hairs breadth deviation would have
killed McCallum.
Leighton says Farwell owed a dollar
for drinks and wouldn't pay. Nelson,
who had just arrived from Boston, knock
ed Farwell down and then he and Mccall
lum put Farwell out of doors. Mccall
lum's wound was fearful one, ten inches
long and in one place an inch deep. Drs.
Ring and French think McCallum may
live. Farwell was arrested this morning,
and denies being near Leighton's house.
He is a nephew of Hon. N. A. Farwell.

holders participated. Friday was devoted to
drawing the prizes. AT an early hour Il large
and eager crowd beseiged the place of drawing,
and the excitement was kept up till the last
| minute, when it was declared that the last num-
Der was drawn. George Woodbury., the popu-
lar conductor on the X. & l.. r. r. was the for
tunate possessor of the lucky number that en-
titled him to the capital prize. Fred Berry
would have won the prize, but he happened to
take the number next to it, which left him out

fair and honorable manner, and no one can find
aught to say against it.

SomnambuIism.

The account which we publish to-day of
the sleep-walking murderer in New
Hampshire town will be read with inter
est. There have before been we'll authen-
tcaled instances OF people who arose in a
sleeping state and walked long distances,
rode horses, climbed to high places,
walked on the perilous edge Of precipices,
&C., but never before came the sleep
walker in the shape of homicide with
axe in hand. These phenomena have
puzzled medical men and philosophers in
all times. Somnambulists are usually
persons of highly sensitive nervous Or
CARNATIONS, who display this peculiarly
under circumstances that tend to excite
ment. Religious excitement is frequent
cause OF this popularity, and cases are
on record in which young girls, under its
influence, have delivered discourses which
were utterly impossible to their waking
moments. Another remarkable case was
that OF a composer of music who in his
sleep-walking wrote down his notes, even
when sheet of pasteboard was placed
between his eyes and the notes. All these
things have puzzled the scientific, and can
only be classed among those unexplain-
able events which are influenced from the
unseen world upon the confines of which
we daily walk.

Burning of Railroad Bridge.

The Maine Central Railroad sustained
last week, by the burning of the long
bridge across the kennebec at kendall's
Mills. This is the second destruction of
the bridge, it having been burned in 1861.
A correspondent of the Lewiston Journal
gives the following account
Between the time of the first alarm and the
falling OF the last span there was less than half
an hour The entire bridge, with the exception
of the first span, which was across the
mill pond, was completely destroyed. The
fire Is said TO have been seen by men on
the Clinton side where il first began to burn,
and that pail Of water would have put it
out, if it could have been reached. In short
time it had burned through to the inside of
the bridge, and i'll II few minutes the fire had
spread through the entire length of the struc-
turc. Many assert that the flames spread as
rapidly AS a man could run. When the alarm
was first given at Wateryille, freight train
was just ready to start for kendalrs Mills; it

except to keep the fire from spreading any
kendals Mills engine and remen. A force OF
twenty five or thirty vehicles, consisting of
truck teams, baggage and express teams, hacks
and single teams, were Immediately recruited
to be in readiness for the afternoon train for
Bangor, to convey passengers and baggage
across to the Clinton side, from whence they
were taken 10y Il mixed train of passengers,

was only about an hour. One enthusiastic
kendas Mills man. at the depot, just before
the train arrived, shouted out; "Watervie

here now in spite Of her"
Surmises are frequent As to whether the Com
pany will rebuild at Kendal's Mills. or put a
bridge across the Narrows, just back OF the
College grounds at Waterville. This thing
was strongly thought of originally, and as the
length Of bridge at Watervie would not be
more than one third or a quarter as long as at
Kendalls Mills, aud also as the old bridge at
Waterville must soon be rebuilt, and thus one
bridge serve for both, there would seem to be
strong chances for such IA change
