ACCIDENTS YESTERDAY.
Three Persons Severely Injured.

Mr.. E. e. Upham, the well known dealer in
real estate, was driving along Fore street, near
Franklin street. yesterday morning, when be
was suddenly taken with fainting fit and fell
from his carriage to the street. Being large
man he fell very heavily and his horse taking
fright from the fall ran away. A large crowd
gathered to assist in raising the injured man,
who was found to be in semi-conscious state
DR.. Ordway, who happened to be near at the
time. took Mr.. Upham in into his carriage and
attempted to get him home but he suffered so
severely from his injuries that it was imposs-
BILE. He was accordingly taken to the shop of
Mr.. s. s. Rich on Exchange street, ana his
ambulance wagon sent for, which proved to be
just the thing needed. He was lifted toto this
and taken home with comparative comfort
DR.. Ordway accompanied him, and with DR.
Hersom, the family physician, made q thor
ough examination. They found bad concus-
sion of the brain caused by his fall from the
carriage. but failed to find that any bones were
broken. He complained very much of his
back and side, but the physicians think that it
is nothing more than than strain. Mr.. Up
ham has been rather feeble for some time, al
though he has been about the streets attending
to his business, and it is feared that it will be
some time before he will be about again.

THE ToGUs BEER SEIzURE.-The Topus b.

THE ToGUs BEER SEIzURE.-The Togus beer
case came up 10 the Municipal Court yester-
day morning. 1t seems that Gen. Tilton has
been in the habit of allowing lager beer sold
at the Togus Home. This was done to keep
theSoldiers from leaving the home and becom-
ing intoxicated. The beer was obtained in Bos-
ton. Several kegs of this beer were seized in
this city April 4th, and the libel came up for
hearing yesterday morning. G. P. Mattocks,
Esq, appeared for the Home and moved to dis
miss for want of jurisdiction upon the ground
that the United States and not the State of
Maine has exclusive Jurisdiction over the ter
ritory occupied by the house, such jurisdiction
was ceded by the State of Maine by act of the
Legislature. This question was sustained by
the court and the libel was dismissed.

Fires and Alarms.

A little after midnight yesterday morning
sportsman returning from cunning expedi-
ton in East Deering discovered house on fire
in that village. He gave the alarm and it was
found that the fire was in the house of Capt.
McFadden The occupants of the burning
building were not aware of the fire and but for
the alarm by the sportsman, some, if not all OF
them, would have been burned. The fire had
advanced so far when discovered that it was
only possible to save very small portion of the
furniture. The house of Hiram James caught
fire, but the flames were extinguished with but
little loss. The cause of the fire is unknown.
The alarm of fire from box 46 last night was
caused By slight fire in the house of George
Tarbox on May street. A kerosene lamp was
accidentally pushed from table on to sofa.
As the lamp fell it broke and the oil took fire
and spread with great rapidity. The sofa car
pet and window casing were soon in a brisk
blaze and some one struck the alarm. Before
the department arrived the ladies in the house
had subdued the flames by their presence of
mind and hard work. The damage to the
house and furniture will be perhaps $780, The
property is insured.
The large fire seen at the Cape last night
sent two ambitious reporters in search of the
cause of the confagration. Riding over to
Westinghouse hill they discovered the dying
embers of once glorious brush pile which last
winter had served as protection to the straw
berry vines belonging to Mr.. Millett, well
known gardener of that vicinity.
