Old Orchard Notes

WEDNESDAY, July %.
The tabernacle at the camp ground is nearly
finished. 1t is expected to be ready for use
early next week.
Tramps are summarily dealt with at the
beach. They are arrested at sight and boxed
up in freight car and taken to Saco jail. This
sort OF treatment makes them scarce.
An Indian athlete while jumping from the
platform in front of the grove last night,
sprained his ankle, and as usual gathered
crowd.
The storm and the cold, disagreeable wind
OF today is too much for promenaders, and in
consequence places Of amusement, the beach
and even the railroad station are deserted
The work on the depot is being pushed along
rapidly. few more days will find it COM
pleted. When finished it will be as conven-
lent and handsome as any in New England

Lack Of Courtesy at a Public House

Early in the present week party consisting
of gentleman and five or six ladies from this
city, were spending the day at Old Orchard.
After looking about the beach for awhile the
party started in the direction of the Old Orch
ard House to get nearer view of the building,
which number of them had never before
seen.
They walked up the planks leading to the
house, up the main steps, and without stopping
upon the piazza or making any pause at all,
passed quietly across the office, and out through
the doorway on the opposite side of the build
ing AS they were making their exit, person
whose conduct on this occasion does not entitle
him to be called gentleman, whom it was af-
forwards ascertained is one of the proprietors
OF the house, approached the gentleman ac-
companying the party, and with great deal
OF self importance informed him that she OBJ
lected most decidedly to his house being used
as a roadway
Considering the fact that none of the party
in any way intruded upon the privacy OF the
house, not even to monopolize chairs upon the
piazza, such conduct on the part of proprie-
tor seemed wholly uncalled for and ungentle-
manly, and is not calculated to increase the
popularity of a public house where common
civllity to strangers is not practiced

Business Trouble.

Within the last two years the wages of
workmen in the brush mandatory of D.
White & Sons have been twice cut down,
which was borne by the workmen without
special dissent. Last week another reduction
OF about 30 per cent was made, and the work
men who were receiving less than the brush
makers in any shop in the country left work,
and are still out of the shop. The workmen
say that during the spring and early summer
the large orders received obliged them to work
on an average of sixteen hours per day; as the
pay is for piece work, of course, the wages
were considerably higher than previously and
they think the Messrs. White have taken the
payroll for this time as the basis for the reduc-
ton.
The probability is that the workmen will ac-
cept the reduction and go to work again soon.

Lightning's Freaks.

So far as can be learned no serious damage
resulted from the violent storm of yesterday
morning, but there was curious instance of
the peculiar freaks of the electric fluid on Con-
gress street. The bolt first struck the corner
post OF DIR. Hollis barn, then traversed the post
to within seven or eight feet of where galvan-
lied iron clothesline was fastened which ex-
tended across the yard to the saloon of Mr..
Robinson. Naturally the bolt chose this line
for its patti. The most peculiar thing was that
in the Robinson house water faucet was
turned on and the water was found running
this morning. The damage done was very
slight

Tuesday evening, as Mr.. Bracket of Peak s

he noticed man and woman in the woods and
heard one Of them calling MARY After
looking in vain for his COWS he approached the
place where he had seen the couple, and near
by found woman lying insensible, with her
dress torn open in front and her under-clothing
torn from her body. He Immediately notified
the police and the woman was taken to the
boat and brought to this city. She says she
belonged in Boston, but others say her home
is in this city. No explanation was made of

was drunk or had been drugged and outraged.
She was well dressed and not more than 90 or
"a years old.
