There are many rumors and different reasons

which is considered by the citizens of this village
to be substantially the facts:

Pennington Locals

Edward T. Dyer of West Pennington, young
man about twenty-five years of age committed
suicide Monday afternoon Of last week. He
came home during his mothers absence and en-
tered the house by way of a chamber window
which he reached with ladder. Shortly after,
two men while passing by, heard young Dyer
shouting. Bursting in the door, they FASTENED
to the chamber and found the man lying on bed,
suffering from the effects of strychnine. In few
moments death came to his relief An inquest
was held and the verdict was that Dyer came to
his death in consequence Of strychnine admins
tered by his own hand.
The ladies Of the Unitarian society held Har-
vest festival at Drummond Hall, Thursday even
ing of last week. They sang and promenaded
and danced; they ate oysters and ice cream, and
enjoyed themselves generally. The hall was
decorated with forest leaves and other fall foliage
1t is stated that fifty bears have been killed
within one and-a.hslf miles of Kingfeld the past
season.
A newspaper correspondent writes that a man
named Briggs committed suicide at Rangley the
other night, telling the people that he had lived
long enough. Probably he had or he wouldn't
have killed himself. People who wish to live,
seldom commit suicide.

ANOTHER INCENDIARY FIRE In

queen street, in the upper part of Fredericton,
and IN few minutes fire was raging which at
once threatened destruction to the greater part of
the city. 1t soon spread to an adjoining barn.
thence to large house occupied by DR.. Currier,
and from there the flames were carried from house
to house with alarming speed by the high wind
which was blowing. taking the dwelling house
and shop lately owned by Edward Seery, and the
the dwelling house and large store Of Martin
Mackey, all on Queen street, which were reduced
TO ashes in a short time.
Here the fire struck the large wooden building
occupied by John McPherson, on the corner of
Queen and Westmoreland streets, and in mo-

In the mean time the fire had worked it. way

ing on Westmoreland street, and soon many were
in flames, including the splendid residence of Eli
yah Calk and many others of the finest residences
here.
Here by the extraordinary forts of the fremen.
aided by large numbers OF citizens, the fire was
stayed, and at three o'clock the city was consid-
cred safe.
All through the night immense showers of
sparks and fire brands were driven the entire
length of the city. which was saved only by the
utmost vigilance and promptness in extiuguishing
the moment they struck.
There can be no doubt that the fire was the
work OF an incendiary, as it was found when the
steamer Alexandra was brought to the scene she
had been tempered with, the relief valve being
tied in such manner that some time was requir-
ed to get her working. The good water supply
had much to do with saving the city
Eleven families were burned out, but they saved
a large portion of their household effects. The
loss cannot be placed below $50 600, but the in
surance is not yet known.
The greatest excitement prevailed during the
ire, and hundreds OF families in different parts OF
the city, with lively recollection of the ST. John
and Portland fires, packed up, and in many in
stances had teams readyto take them out of the
city,

Another Turn OF the Screw,

The Maine Central Railroad Company has TAX
en- smother turn in that wise OF which Neal Dow
speaks so often and into which he is DESTROYS of
getting all rumsellers. We notice that this
company was very pleasant and oblging while it
was favorable weather to visit Boston by boat
very obsequious indeed to the great public whom
they profess to serve; but now as the summer sea-
son is closing, another turn is taken in the
make up faces but they've got to
stand it. The latest outrage is the new tariff that
has just been issued, increasing from 20 to 25 per
cent. the rates between all stations on the road to
Boston. For instance, the fare from Bangor to
Boston, heretofore $500, has been increased to
500; from Augusta, 81 90 to Si.75; and at all
other stations in the same proportion with
the exception of Portland. where the fare
remains the same, the Maine Central control
ending there, and the other roads not having IN
creased their rates. This action results iu an un-
fair discrimination in favor OF Portland and
against Bangor, and all other stations on the en-
tire route. When wages are low. when the ten
dency of everything is downward, why this
advance Of at least ten per cent. more than the
highest figures during the war; Thu. is a policy
alike suicidal to the road and crippling to business
one of those narrow minded, short-sighted ex-
pedients. that the servants of the public will find
it Improbable to resort to.
