tween them, when futile struck Mitchell a
heavy blow between the eyes, knocking him
down. In falling his head hit something which
cut an ugly cash over his eye. Mr.. Mitchell
remained insensible several hours.
OXFORD COUNTY.
The prevailing opinion at South Paris is that
the remains recently found in the woods near
that village are those of man named Meal
lister, who left his home in Oxford some three
years since. The people there are firmly of the
opinion that the remains are his, and the cir.
cumstances and appearances of the body indi-
cate that it was case Of suicide. A pistol was
found at hand and flask near by. A silver
coin OF ancient date, the boots, hat and articles
OF clothing preserved, lead to the hope that the
public have been spared one more horror in the
list of crimes committed for gain.

The Bangor Mystery.
Another Ate n,pt to Fire the FRANKLIN
HOuse-No Clue to the Fire.Bug,

The Wing says that an inquest on the re-
day, and A. W. Paine, N. H. Dillingham; and
D. M. Howard were selected as the jury. They
met in a room at the franklin House and ex-
amined number of witnesses during the af-
ternoon and evening Nothing of any partc-
ular interest was developed in the testimony.
The jury were unable to find sufficient testi-
mony to implcate Chas. G.. Holmes, the COL
ored waiter, arrested on suspicion, and after
holding long session they decided to return a
verdict that the fires were ince ndary, but find
no evidence to criminate any person whatever.
About ten o'clock Sunday evening another
fire was discovered in the attic of. the new part
OF the house. The room was unoccupied and
was the only one of eight that was unlocked.
A chambermaid rooming on that floor asked
one of the men to go up and lock the door be-
fore she went to bed, and upon going up into
the room found an excelsior mattress ON fire,
but it was put out without any difficulty. A
policeman was Immediately called and, after
the doors were locked, made thorough search
of the house, but found no Ons of whom they
were suspicious. The proprietors, to make
themselves secure, procured a two-wheeled
Babcock and kept it up stairs during the night
A Herald Special says that the matter is
now as much mystery as ever, and all efforts
of the police and detective forces to ferret out
the author OF the troubles have thus far been
unsuccessful. Three of the fires have occurred
in broad daylight, and in portions of the build
ing where an incendiary would be very like to
be seen and captured. All the fires have been
set in the excelsior mattresses on the beds, in
a corner next TO the door, and were so arranged
as to easily communicate with the woodwork
The servants in the house are filled with su-
perstitious fears, and one of their number pos
itively declares that she saw strange looking
man standing In the passage near her room,
who when she approached, vanished in the
darkness without making the least perceptible
sound. She is one of the oldest and most
faithful servants in the house. A fire engine
is located in the hotel. The excitement which
the affair creates about town is constantly in
creasing, and it forms the al-absorbing topic
of the day. Of course none but the superst.
| tious think the proceedings are caused by other
than human agency, yet all admit there is
something very strange and even alarmiu G
about it.. large crowd of curious people has
surrounded the hotel this afternoon and even

Stephen Foley was thrown from running
horse on Presumpscot Park yesterday afternoon
and severely if not fatally injured. He was
driving horse owned by Mr.. Sweetsir, and at
the time of the accident the horse was going
about mile in two minutes. As he was COM
ing around the curve opposite the stables the
horse turned to 60 through the gate and threw
Foley on to the fence with great force. He
struck on his back and was literally driven
through the fence. He was taken up at once
and DR.. Brooks sent for. Strange to say, flo
bones we're found broken, although he was in a
very critical condition. Late last evening he
was quite easy and the attending physician
thinks that he will recover. 1t was most mi
raculous escape from instant death.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE GRAND Trunk
r. Ron Thursday evening last as Mr.. Chas
81. Bennett of Durham, was attempting to get
on to a moving train near Dunn's depot, at
North Yarmouth, his foot slipped and he fell
forward, his right hand coming directly on to
the rail in front of the wheel, which passed
over it, crushing it of course, in horrid man.
ner. He was attended by DR. Bates of Var
mouth, who found it necessary to amputate the
hand near the wrist, saving the thumb only
which escaped injury. Mr.. Bennett, who is
only sixteen years old, is highly respected
youth, and much sympathy is felt for him in
this misfortune, which cripples him for life in
his efforts to gain livelihood, and at the same
time affords another reminder to those who will
not heed the oft repeated injunction, not to at
tempt to get on to moving train. Mr.. Ben
nett was not an employe on the road or pas
senger on the train, and no blame is attached
to any one. j.
