TROUBLE AT BATES CoLLEGE.-A special to
the Boston Globe says six members of the
Sophomore class at Bates College have been
suspended for creating disturbance on the oc-
casion of the prize defamation of the third
division of the Freshman class, which took
place on Thursday evening of last week. The
circumstances are substantially as follows; 1t
seems that previous to the evening in question
the Sophomores had some mock programmes
printed caricaturing in a most disgusting man
ner not only the members of the Freshman
class who were to participate in the exercises,
but also nearly all of the college faculty.
These programmes, although not generally
circulated through the audience, which was
large, were placed in the hands of each mem.
Der of the Sophomore class, and as the differ
ent names on the official programme were an
nounced with the part assigned to each the
comparison of each with the "Ordo Falsa''
called forth perceptible litter, which dis
tracted the attention of the audience to such
an extent as to cause embarrassment on the
part of the Freshmen and inattention on the
part of the audience. Near the close of the
exercises the building shook with perceptlble
tremor and Immediately there followed crash
overhead as if the whole building was coming
down. The scene can be easily imagined. The
ladies in the audience were much frightened
and the entire audience much disturbed, IN
vestigation showed that some classical mind,
in order to make the disgraceful affair more
complete in its effects, had placed number of
the lignum vitae balls from the bowling alley
upon board evenly balanced and attached to
ore end of the board string, which on being
pulled slightly would cause the board to tip up,
causing all the balls to roll off upon the floor
and thence down the stairs. There is strong
feeling of indignation among the college fac
ulty and the end is not yet

DEATH OF A VENERABLE LADY.-Mrs. Han
nah Waite Bonney died in this city Yesterday
morning at the age of 80 years and six months.
The first husband of this lady was Capt. Henry
Waite, brother of Edward Waite now living
in this city. Capt. Waite was in the war of
1872 and captured the first prize which was
taken in that war and brought it into this
harbor. He was afterwards taken prisoner

Music HALL-A good audience greeted the
"Octoroon" at Music Hall last evening, not
withstanding the many attractions elsewhere
This is, as is we'll known, highly interesting
drama if the necessary attention is given to the
auxilliaries. Mr.. Calder was very fortunate in
this matter in having the same stage hands as
those employed at the Museum when the play
was SO success :fully produced. The steamboat
scene and all are produced with much faithful
ness. Mr.. Calder assumed his old part of Sa-
lem Scudder, to the general acceptance of the
audience. Mr. Bascomb also appeared as be

EXPERIENCE proves that the best material in
the construction of buildings to resist fire is the
brick Granite and various stones fall before the
power of fire, and crumble into dust, whilst the
well burnt diminutive brick ressts most stub
bornly the progress of the flames which have
destroyed its pretentious rivals. The Windsor
Botel on Fifth Avenue, between Forty-sixth
and Forty streets, New York, is built
of brick, and, as additional security against
fire, escapes are provided by iron ladders run
ming outside of the building. These, with eve
ry approved means for fire extinguishment,
guarantee great safety to their guests

Arrested on Suspicion of r. obbery

Yesterday morning on the arrival of the train
over the Grand Trunk, Conductor Stowell sug-
gested to officer Gribben that one of the pas
sengers knew something of recent robbery at
Lennoxville, in the province of Sherbrooke,
Can. The man referred to was arrested and
gave the name of McIvor. He was young man
about feet 10 inches tall, light complexoned
with brown hair and moustache, and wore
dark clothes and round fur hat. His luggage
consisted of hand satchel. On his person
were handsome gold watch and chain and
locket-the latter containing pictures of man
aud woman-and ninety dollars in bills, all in
tens on the Eastern Township Bank of Cana
da. He said he had been at work in Winslow,
near Lennoxvile, for some time past with
Mr.. Carlton Noble, who keeps store and owns
farm in that village, and that Mr. Noble paid
him $40, with which he bought the chain and
locket for 500, and new suit of clothes for
$25. This statement did not account for the
rest of the money.
The robbery referred to was committed Tues
day morning. The victim, James Wilder a
drover, was stabbed as he was getting off the
train at that place at $3.50 a. M, and $4,000 stol-
en-. The doctor thinks Mr.. Wilder may recov-
er Mr.. Wilder was a drover and the money
was the proceeds from the sale of cattle
Conductor Stowel noticed two men on the
train yesterday morning whom he suspected of
the robbery, and telegraphed to officer Gribbsn
to 60 out to Pownal on the morning train and
meet them on the incoming train. If the de-
spatch had been directed to the Marshal the
officer could have gone out to the appointed
place, but he had gone on duty when the train
went out, and the only thing to be lone was to
await the arrival of the train here.
The two men whom the conductor noticed
got on his train at Gorham, where they spent
Tuesday night After getting aboard the train
they were seen counting money, and were init
mate. When the train reached Danville the
two men got out of the train together, passed
to the rear of the station in conversation, and
then McIvor returned to the Portland train and
was arrested on arriving here After his arrest
a telegram was sent to Lennoxville asking if
the man arrested was wanted there An ans
wer was received from Constable G. B. Loomis
asking to have McIvor held for the robbery of
Mr.. Wilder. 1t is thought that the man who
went to Lewiston has the most of the stolen
money.
