engine which was built by the company for the

Waterville, and received the best of care.
Physicians were summoned. but failed to ex.

restore the unfortunate man to consciousness.
but in vain. A despatch was received yester-
day morning stating that he was still insensi-
bic, that congestion of the lungs had set in, and
that he would not probably live through the
day. His wife started for Waterville by the
noon train.
AT first it was supposed that Mr.. Craig was
attacked by thieves and robbed, but no marks
OF violence were found upon his person
Neither did be have any money with him when
he left here Tuesday evening. Persons who
have known him for number of years assert
that he is a man of steady and industrious
habits The Portland Company has regarded

landed at the 'Eyrie," and for three hours the
visitors were handsomely entertained. The
bands provided very acceptable music, Mr..
Rice furnished bountiful collation. of steamed
CLANS with the ''fxins," and the beautiful
grounds of the "Eyrie'' afforded an excellent
opportunity for recreation. Stories were in or
der, the bands gave more music, and Chief Pat
riarch Winship made a speech, which was
applauded again and again. The fun was con-
tinued until eight O'clock when the return trip
was made to the city. The line was at once re-
formed the same as in the afternoon, and the
procession marched up Front street to Main,
thence to Franklin square, countermarchins to
the city hall, where Chander's Band serenaded

The march up Front and through Main street
was accompanied by generous display of red
fire and Roman candles, which attracted a large
crowd of spectators and greatly pleased the Wis.
itors. who are lavish with praise of their recep-
ZION in Worcester. In response to the compli-
ment of the serenade, Mayor Pratt appeared at
the main entrance of the hall and extended
hearty welcome to the visitors, which was re.
sponde to by Chief Winship. The bands INIT.
ed and the procession marched down Main
street to Insurance Hall, where the visitors
were left for the night.

BULL-DozING.-Itis not very often that we
have real case of bull-dozing in Portland.
but there was real one last evening at the
corner of Congress and Brown streets. IT
seems that young man employed as clerk in
Deland's fruit store has incurred the displeasure
OF lot OF street gamins by preventing their
stealing fruit. Last evening about dozen of
these hoodlums gathered on Brown street to
await the appearance of the disturber of their
thefts. He appeared at o'clock and the lead.
er with war whoop lead the attack closely fol
lowed by his companions. The victim of the
attack was plucky youth and he opened on
the offensive with a solid front. The assail.
ants were knocked right and left but were not
in the least disheartened. Such scene in
such public place naturally gathered large
crowd in short time, and some of the gentle
men surprising that the clerk had attacked the
boys went in and separated them and brought
the show to an end. The combatants will
however, probably meet again,

engine houses and several places of interest in
different parts of the city, and returned to the
hotel for tea.
In the evening the Burlington Band with a
number of the Ethans serenaded the PRESS,
Argus and Advertiser offices They also
serenaded several of the engine companies.
To-day they return home, and if one may
judge from what they say, they will carry with
them pleasant recollections of Portland and
her hremen. A better behaved and better
looking company of gentlemen has never
visited this city, and they may always be sur
of cordial welcome. Long live the Ethans!

A POLICE INvEsrIGATIoN.-For some time
past there has been numerous complaints made
at the police stations that the steps of the
cnurcnes!and school houses about town are
used as lettering places for young people who
greatly disturb the citizens in the vicinity. The
Marshal has given orders to remove such OBJ
structlons when found and the police have done
so, out the other night boy named Durham
VINO lives on Pleasant street, was found on the
ParS street church step, and to some remark
MADE by officer Langmad he answered in such
an lnsoent manner that the officer felt justified
in taking him to the police station Upon ar
irving there Marshal Bridges gave the youth
some wholesome advice and sent him home.
His return, however. did not appease the feel
| ings Of his friends, who thought that great
wrong had been perpetrated and accordingly
they made complaint against the officer
Yesterday afternoon was the time appointed
| for the investigation, which was held before
Mayor Butler in bis office. The parents of the
| child were accompanied by large number of
| their friends and neighbors, so that the office
| was filled. The testimony seemed to show that
on this particular occasion the boy was not
making a disturbance, and so the arrest was
not called for, but as there had been so much
complaint of loafng about such places, it was
very natural thing for him to speak to the boy
as he did. The mayor was of the opinion that
while technically he exceeded his duty, yet no
great injustice was done, and the compliments
appeared to be of the same opinion after the
hearing closed. Mr. Langmaid is good officer
and his friends would be surprised to hear that
he would make wrong arrest if he knew it.
AN ATTEMPT TO BREAK AND ENTER.-Early
yesterday morning two thieves were discovered
trying to gain an entrance to the store of John
McMinniman on Cumberland street. A wire
shade was removed and the thieves were taking
out the glass when discovered. Officers Skill
lings and Lawton we're notified and began
search for the thieves, who soon came from
wood-shed opposite. Skillngs chased them
for some time and discharged two shots at
them, but after a long chase they got away by
lodging through back yards.

A Novel Foster Mother,

A correspondent Of the New York
World says that Mr.. John A. Todd set
a hen on thirteen eggs last spring.
When the little chicks began to peep
through the shells, the old hen would
peck at them until she had pecked out
the eyes Of ut least five, and then she
pecked the tops of their heads off. Mr..
Tod saw her ut it, and took the
the chicks that were not yet killed, and
two or three that were just breaking the
shell, away from her. put them in bas.
ket on some cotton, kept them some days
near the stove, and saved seven chicks
from the thirteen eggs when the chicks
were old enough they were allowed to
run in the yard by day, and at night
they were put into n basket covered with
n cloth and set in one corner of his
kitchen. Mr.. Todd went to feed them
one morning, and was astonished on
raising the cloth to see his three-months'
old "Thomas cat curled up in the bas-
ket with the chicks all close around him.
The cat continued to sleep with them
every night afterward until they went to
roosting with the other chickens. This
cat was never known to catch chickens
On the place, but would catch birds and
ground squirrels every day.

A Novel Mode OF Catching Whales.

An enterprising Norwegian, Mr.. Sven
Foyn, has successfully carried out a
method of whale-fshing which has great
ly added to the prosperity and stencil Of
Vadso. He has two steamers, with hull,
masts, and all other visible parts painted
sea-green, in order that they may ap-
proach their victim unperceived. They
are armed with small swivel guns,
weighing about three hundred weight,
at the bow. From these is fired COM
pound projectile, consisting of a harpoon
with hinged barbs, Or rather fukes, like
those of an anchor, and weighing alto
gether about thirty pounds. While the
harpoon is in the gun, going through
the air, and piercing its victim, these
arms, or barbs, or fukes, lies snugly
down by the side Of the harpoon shaft !;
but when it has penetrated the flesh of
the whale, and the shaft is drawn back
ward. they spread out, pierce the flesh
sideways and obliquely, till, at an angle
of forty-ive degrees, the stop of the
hinge checks their further outspreading,
and they become an effectual barb,
which renders the withdrawal of the
harpoon impossible. But this is not all.
Besides this formidable hinged barb,
the harpoon is furnished with humane
ly devised explosive shell, which bursts
within the solid flesh of the sea monster
and kills him almost instantly. A towing
cable is then fixed to his capacious nose,
and the little bright green steamer tugs
the great slate-colored carcass in the
Vadso harbor,
