Fred. A. Plaisted telegraphs from Boston
that he accepts the challenge of Stanley S.
Chapman of this city. and will walk fifty miles
with him for stakes of $3.50, Saturday, Jan. II
in this city. Plaisted has placed the forfeit il
the hands of Frank Rogers of City hotel.
Gentlemen who made calls in Washington
were naturally attracted to the houses of ladies
from their respective States. Maine was well
represented in the parlors of Mrs. Senate,
Hamlin at Wizards, where the Senator aided
her in receiving, and also at the National Uni
versity, where Prof. WIN. B. Wedgewood, with
his bride, just from Sebago lake, had many
callers.
Neal Dow writes letter to the Chicago Tri-
bune, in which he says that not over $500, 700
were expended by the people of Maine for in
toxicants the past year; and he attributes the
fact that Portland has apparently increased it;
valuation every year, to the enforcement of til
liquor law, and that the valuation of Boston
has fallen off $40 100000 with license, which
Mr.. Dow calls free rum.

There have been employed in the Jail work.
shops the past year, in all, 2o2 prisoners, male
and female. These prisoners have performed
I4,436 days labor, and have manufactured 4O3,
914 pairs of sinner soles; 1864 pairs of heels;
1881 pairs of taps; 12,44t pairs Of counters,
and 1855 sheets of heeling. The average
number at work throughout the year was As.
The smallest monthly average 49, in August,
and the largest 65, in December. The prisoners
are generally orderly and well behaved, and
strict prison discipline i3 enforced.
1t may be proper here to correct wrong i'm
preston which seems to prevail in the minds Of
the public that all or nearly all prisoners COM
mitted to Jail, work in the shop. The truth is
that less than ona-half of the whole number

By an old statute of this State, sec -, chap.
135. of the Revised Statutes, it is provided that
prisoners committed in default of fine, at the
expiration of thirty days, may give their note to
the county for the amount Of fine and costs,
and be released. The practical working of
this statute is seen in the fact that while the
several counties have, at considerable expense,
erected and are operating Jail workshops in
accordance with the law Of 1873, they are at
the same time supporting in idleness (for
there is no law compelling these fined men to
work) large number of prisoners, generally
habita'es of the Municipal Courts, and instead
of getting their labor, as is the case in most
other States are ohlioed tn aettle with than, hu
taking their notes, which in most instances are
like Buffers fiat money, payable or redeema-
BILE in nothing, at no time, and by nobody 1t
is hoped that the Legislature will remedy this
matter the present winter.

consequent gree nbacks.
Get out your snow shovels.
The store of Mr.. George W. Brown, situated
on the Brunswick road near New Meadows,
was destroyed by fire, together with the stock,
last evening about 1890. Insured for $780,
The light from the fire was observed in this
city but the distance seemed so great from the
city that no alarm was given. The origin of
the fire is not known. A barrel of kerosene
was standing not far from the stove and posi-
bly, the heat ignited the oil.
About IL o'clock this morning as the engine
was at work at the M G. railroad depot horse
belonging to Howard Wiggin took fright and
ran from the. freight platform across thu area
and was brought to very sudden halt by
breaking through the ditch in the rear of the
buildings on Vine street. Both shafts of the
wagon were broken short off at the whifietree,
and little boy, frankie Upton, who was in
the wagon, was hurled over the dasher, turned
three or four somersaults in the air, landing
several feet in front of the horse upon his knees
and side. The little fellow was very much
frightened but not seriously injured. The
horse was soon extricated, appearing some
what stunned and appeared to have no desire
to repeat his performance as he limped stable
ward.
The funeral of Mrs. Peter johnson occurred
this afternoon. Shs was the wife of Mr. John
SOD, the Swede employed at McLellan's iron

"A DISASTROUS FIRE.
Goods stores Ruined-Loss Estimated
ut $25,OOO-A Blaze ut the Cape.

About II 10 o'clock this morning an alarm of
Middle and Free streets. The fire proved to
be in the brick block on tho westerly side of
Cross street, owned by Hon. J. b. Brown.
When discovered smoke was Issuing from the
store of John f. Rand ana the store of Bibber,
Morrill, & McMann directly over Mr.. Randi.
Both firms are dealers in fancy goods and MIL
linery. The heavy snow delayed the engines
good deal and it was some time bsfore stream
was got on. When the engines did get to
work however the flames were quickly sub
dued. The fire seems to have caught in the
rear Of Mr.. Rands store, which was on the
ground floor, under a counter, and burned up
into Bibber, Morrill, 81 McMann's above. Not
much damage was done by the fire, but the
smoke aul water ruined the stock in both
stores. Both firms consider their stocks total
loss.
Mr.. Rand estimates the value of his goods at
from $4,000 to $40, 900, on which there was an
insurance of about $4,000 at the agencies of
Rollins & Adams, Dow, CYffiu & Libby, and
William Allen. He did not remember the
companies and the policies were locked up in
the safe. Bbber, Morrill, and McMann value
their stock at about $4,000, on which there
were policies of insurance to the amount Ct
$1,000 at the agency of Cyrus F. Davis The
damage to the building is not large. Whether
it is insured or not could not be ascertained.
Luckily the fire did not spread to the ada
cent stores otherwise in the high wind which
was prevailing very disastrous contiagration
might have resulted.
About II o'clock last night bright light
was seen at the Cape in the direction Of Tar
ner's Island, evidently from burning building

On Tuesday night new hand in the Eastern
Express Company's office, was entrusted with
the combination of the safe lock, and ordered
to close the safe when he left. He did SO, but
in sons way must have turned the swivel too
quick, or forgotten some part of the combina.
tiop, as in the morning, the repository of funds
could not be opened. Mr.. Ross was sent for
and worked long time without avail. Then a
man was telegraphed for from Boston, and all
day yesterday he was at work, and the safe was
still locked in the early part OF the evening.
The new man had to proceed to take the door
to pieces. In the meantime the payroll,
funds for different places, and other valuable
papers bave to wait. This shows the Eastern
Express Company keep their property in a
good safe place.

A SPrIOus ExuIosi0m

Wednesday morning the workmen engaged
in laying the foundations of the new stable on
Green street prepared blast, with care, and
touched it off. Mr.. A. 9. Waite resides on the
upper side of the street, and son of his was
standing in the bay-window watching the op-
GRAFTON. The ledge in which the blast was
drilled was rotten and when the explosion took
place large piece of the rock was thrown
through Mr.. Waits's window, coming SO
near to the sons head that it struck his hand
which was resting on the sash, and crushed
the thumb. The rock also did cons iderable
damage in the room.
An explosion of blast in the afternoon,
notwithstanding it was carefully covered, sent
rocks and boards in every direction, but fortu-
nately no one was hurt
