that OF Germany by the necessity OF putting an
end to ruinous armaments. On being asked what
he would do to prepare the country and his own
party for such restoration the Prince replied by
severe criticism of the policy Of Napoleon Ill., and
comparing it with what his own policy would be.
He said -
Instead of winning the support of the higher
GRASSES by appealing to their confidence Napoleon
III. controlled them by fear. Instead OF secur-

substantial prosperity he hattered their appotites

John ID. Rogers, John Rogers, Jr., and
Redman Agan all of Biddeford, were to-
day brought before Biddeford Police Court
on change of assaulting officers Provencher
and Rollins, at the walking match yester-
day, each were held tn recognize in the
sum OF $500, for their appearance at Sep
TENDER term S. j. Court.
1t is very evident that the plant thief in
Blddeford is also woman for when a gen.
tleman living on Jefferson street, walked
up to this back door at about nine o'clock
last evening he noticed woman standing
near by but paid no especial attention to
her supposing her to be caller at the house.
The next morning he found the beautiful
geraneum that had been placed in the ex-
act spot where the woman had stood the
night before had been stolen.
A boy who works in the weaver's room of
one OF the mills in Biddeford jammed the
third finger of his left hand so that it was
necessary to amputate it. DIR. Warren per-
formed the operation.
The driver of Seavy's grocery team main

famed by the operation.
At about nine o'clock this morning. a
deaf and dumb man of Patterson, who has
lived many years upon the Amos Chase
farm on the Ferry road in Saco, in coming
from Factory Island stepped upon the rail-
road track and was walking along the track
toward the round house and did not look
PACK to see the train which was coming be-
hind him not very fast to be sure but fast
enough to tear him in pieces if it had
struck him. The train was within few
feet OF him when a young Remick boy ran
to him and knocked him from the track,
both OF them falling just outside. 1t was a
very narrow escape.

SATURDAY, May 81.
MIR. William bennett of Topsham, while
making repairs on his lawn yesterday,
found it necessary to fell large elm tree.
The man who did the work decided to have
it fall in the street, and took no precaution
to warn travellers who might pass by. Just
as the tree was ready to fall they saw Mrs.
Jesse d. Wilson and wife approaching in
carriage. They cried to him to stop, but
as the wind was blowing hard he did not
hear them and the tree fell across the car
rage. Strange as it may seem, they re-
ceived no injury, nor was the horse or
carriage damaged at all. The horse stood
perfectly still and several limbs had to be
chopped away before the team could be
liberated.
The sprinkler will be in operation next
thursday morning, and it is to be hoped
that some people won't be inconsolable if
1t proves success.
There were quite number of people
from Bath on the street yesterday.
The last clinic of the term was held at
the medical school to-day and there were
many patients present.
