count OF mispayment. Two men OF the same

The other day well-known citizen oeRort-l
land was spending few days in Montreal! AT
breakfast one morning he noticed a gentleman
sitting opposite to him whose countenance
seemed strangely familiar. The gentleman
paid little attention at the time as he was
rather pressed for time, but later saw the same
gentleman again. Upon inquiry he ascertained
that the familiar features were those of Prof.
Florestin who was giving series of readings
under the patronage of the leading ladies Of
Montreal. They were private affairs, admis-
ions obtained only by subscription Then the
face became as well known to our friend as
any in his memory. 1t was that of Prof. De
Chanlatte, who so delighted select circles i'll
Portland, some time ago, by thepurity of his
French, and the inexpressibe charm of his
manner, or else it must have been his twin
brother. Further investigation revealed the
fact that Prof. Florestin had been giving these
select readings in Hamilton and Toronto, with
good success evidently, for he had new suit
of English clothes, made in the latest English
fashion.

The Cumberland Murder

The Bangor Wing narrates a suspicious cir
cumstance that may have had connection with
the Cumbe rland murder. The Wing says;
At about five o'clock Sunday afternoon,
as two young men were up on Thomas hill,
their attention was attracted to q bundle of
clothing partially concealed under the bushes.
They picked it up and brought it down the hill
where they opened it and found that it con-
tanned a mans shirt covered with blood, a
woman's night-dress several books of simple
character, bottle of dressing for ladies' boots,
and q billy that had something on it tllat
looked like blood.
They informed gentleman living i'll the
vicinity Of their discovery, and he advised
them to get Officer Mccoy, as he lived near
the place. They called at Mr.. McCoys house,
and then all repaired to the spot where the
bundle was found and began to make a further
examination of the locality. While thus en-
gagged the Matron Of the Childrens Home sent
out word that if there was d policeman among
the number she would like to see him, and
Mr.. Mccoy went to the house. He was gone
some little time, but the nature Of the CONVEX
sation is unknown to us. When he returned
to the spot again, however, he had several or
binary door mats with him which were given
him at the house. AS near as we can learn the
bundle had previously been found by some OF
the children and taken to the Home, where it
was opened and the mats taken out, after
which it was replaced as near as possible in the
same position as when found.

THE TRAMP NUISANCE.
Adventures of Party of the Travelling
Gentry.

In response to a despatch from Detective
John S. Head from Lewiston, officers Burn
ham, Gribben, Gill and Langmaid met the $50
p N. train from Lewiston over the Maine Cen
trail railroad last evening, and did escort duty
to gang of five tramps from the depot to the
station, which will be their headquarters for
the present These tramps are portion of the
gang mentioned in our dispatches yesterday
morning, who took possession of Conductor
Abbott's train at Cumberland, and were az
rested in Lewiston Sunday morning. They
are wanted here for several reasons. 1t seems
that some of the gang had property about their
persons which was stolen from stores in this
city, and it is also stated that the charge of
obstructing the mails viii be brought against
them.
The Lewiston police had quite a time arrest
ing the chaps. About o'clock Sunday morn
ing, five of the police force were in Foundry
Patch searching for a criminal, and they heard
the continued whistling of the locomotive and
mistrusted all was not right so they rushed to
the depot and saw the train standing upon the
bridge. The conductor stated the case to the
officers, who at once made stand at the Lew
iston end of the bridge, while the tran-men
guarded the Auburn end. Part of the tramps
made rush from the bridge, and the officers
made rush for the tramps. Four Of them
were captured as they attempted to run off the
bridge. One more tramp was found on the
bridge Two of the fellows were armed with
large stones, when captured, and the officers
were treated to fusilade of rocks, during the
chase. Part of the tramps slid down the rods
of the bridge and escaped, and some of them
are believed to have jumped from the piers to
a small island in the river, beneath the bridge.
The five men arrested were secured in the
Lewiston lookup, and the officers continued
their search for the rest Of the gang. They
were unable to find any others Sunday morn
ing. Saturday night they captured three
tramps in a car on the Maine Central. One of
them was boy sixteen years old. They I'M
doubtedly belonged to the same gang. Each
of the men first captured wore pair of brand
new shoes They were all alike, and evident
ly came from the same case. Two Of the latter
squad captured had ON shoes of the same pat
tern. The boys shoes were several sizes too
large.
The fellows gave their residences as in Bath,
Augusta and Portland, but probably all were
invented for the occasion.
We have since learned that the shoes were
stolen from the store of Mr.. Geo. d. Perry on
York street Saturday night
The report that these fellows will be tried
for obstructing the mails is incorrect, as the
train carried no mails. But they will be
brought before Judge Knight this morning on
o complaint for melting riot

Last Saturday night the steamer Mt. Pleas
ant, which runs on Lake Sebago, started from
Harrison for Naples with party Of about one
hundred and fifty excursionists on board
on their way to Naples to dance. The
steamer preceded without any contreteneoa
until she reached point of land which
stretches out into the lake near Bridgton
AS the Mt Pleasant was turning this point
of land the Sebago-the sister steamer-came
up the lake with some passengers on board
also. In some way both steamers came in
collision, the bow of the Sebago striking the
Mt. Pleasant @ gancing blow amidships, car
rying away the wheelhouse and guards OF the
latter steamer while the bow of the Sebago
was badly smashed. OF course there was nat
urally considerable alarm felt by the passen-
gers, but not so much as would have been the
case if the accident had occurred out in the
deep water of the lake. The Mt. PleaSan'
sailed round once or twice, and then proceed
ed, finding she had not met with any trouble
of serious import. The Sebago managed to
reach her wharf at Bridgton close by. If the
two vessels had sunk at that spot it is proba-
bic the water would not have been higher
than the hurricane decks, but if either had
capsized the loss of life might have been
serious, especially at the hour the accident
occurred

says
Every detail of scenery, costume and APP
pontments is as carefully attended to as be-
fore; there is a chorus of about sixty girls and
boys, who have been thoroughly trained; and
each one of the dozen principals is adequate
and attentive to his duty Most of the sing
| ing is surprisingly good and pleasant to hear,
and the choruSes have peculiarly agreeaple
effect from the true sweet tones OF the
children. Among those who take the Leading
