STILL A MYsTERY.-Mrs. Gordon, the wife
of Capt. Gordon, who has been missing for sew
eral months, arrived in the city Saturday. Yes
terday she visited the dead house but was un-
able to identify the body found at Vaughan
bridge. When she last heard from her hus-
band, last January, he was expecting to come
this way, soit is not impossible that this body
is his. She says that she never knew her hus-
band to carry watch, but the studs taken
from the shirt she thinks belonged to him.
She was not able to identify any of the cloth
ing. Some time ago Capt. Gordon broke his
shoulder, and DR.. Webster, who examined the
body yesterday, found that the right shoulder
had been broken. But this did not satisfy the
lady, and she is still undecide whether the
body found is that of her husband or not. She
says that he often had fits of dependency and
would at such times tell her that if anything
happened to him she must not be surprised

A FISH SToRY.-We ale not going to give
the young mans name, but suffice it to say he
is the coal dealer who did such execution on
the Eons Saturday afternoon. But base ball is
not what he prides himself. upon, for he is a
fisherman at times. He recently had one Of
these times at Baldwin when he had excellent
luck. He saw a large sucker playing about
the shady hooks of brook, and not mention
ing the fact to his companion he laid for afore-
said sucker, thinking it to be a trout. He
tempted the fish with several different kinds Of
bait, but failed to get bite much to his sur
prise, but not to be outdone he took off the bait
and after some time succeeded in hooking his
fishshp. Then he sounded the war cry and
called his companions about to see his "trout"
1t cost the fisherman about the price of ton of
coal to catch that fish, that is it will before he
gets done with it.

city. This custom is growing, and each year
the day is more generally observed.

The services at this church were of particular
interest to the children. The yestry was pref.
tily decorated for the occasion. In the ear of
the desk was an arch bearing the inscription ),

of the desk and on either side were smaller
arches of evergreen. In one was "John H.
Baker, died April 26,' and in the other Hen

Money Makers Arrested.

Last Monday two young men from Gorham,
Charles M Libby and Charles M. Wescott,
came to this city and in the evening took the
boat for Boston. Arriving in Boston they
went to the City Hotel and registered their
names as Fred Sawyer and Sam Benson. They
visited several banks and presented bills which
they wished changed. The officers at once
saw that the bills were not genuine and notified
Col. j. Horace Kent that such charac tiers were
in the city. The Colonel, who by the way knows
about what is going on in the counterfeiting
business, lat once suspected parties in this state.
Accordingly on Saturday morning he started
for this CITY, He bought paper on the cars
and learned that two young men had been ar
rested in Saco for passing counterfeit money.
Thinking these were the two young men who
presented the money in Boston, Col. Kent stop
ped at Saco to have an interview with them,
and there he met Deputy U. S. Marshal Mar
BILE who was after the same men for passing
counterfeit money at Sebago Lake and Cor
ham. The young men were visited and found
to be Libby and Wescott who had just returned
from Boston to be caught by City Marshal
Sands of Saco. Libby acknowledged that he
was SuiAeJ VI ihahihS tlAC AIOuOy hIu hC dltCl-
wards induced Wescott to assist him in dis
posing of it. Their system is an old one, that
of taking bill and cutting it erosswise into
narrow strips and then FASTING the strips to-
gether, leaving out several to help make new
bill. By cutting up a number of bills they
could make one out of the strips reserved af
ter FASTING them together If the work is
skillfully performed it is difficult to detect one
of the bills so made. Libby says he commenced
operating on ten cent currency and finding that
successful he took bills of large denominations.
Counterfeiters generally work on large bills for
it is no more work to make a bill of large de-
nomination than small one, while the profits
are much larger on the former.
They were taken before Judge Derby of the
Saco Municipal Court, who handed them over
to the United States officers. They were brought
to this city Saturday afternoon and taken be-
fore Commissioner Rand, who bound them
over in the sum of $25OO each for appearance
before the United States court, their fathers
giving bail The young men have always
borne good reputation, and their parents are
highly respected. The blow to them is very ST.
