ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
A Scoundrel Etherizes a Whole Family

For some time past the residents OF Gorham
have been troubled by the presence of burglars
in their quiet village, several of whose exploits
have been recorded in the PRESS The bold
est attempt however took place the other even
ing In the very centre of that populous town.
Mr. Edward Deering has lately kept a fish
market in Gorham and has also been in the
habit of making large collections of MONEY!,
which he Kept in his house. His bedroom is
on the ground floor, and the window, close at
hand to the bed, looks out upon the street.
On the night in question he had several hum
dred dollars in the room, and it is supposed
that this fact must have been known to out
side parties. Mr.. Deering with his wife and
child retired early and were soon fast asleep,
How long he slept he cannot exactly tell but
he awoke with start, all of a nervous tremor
and feeling very badly about the head. He at
tempted to arise but accomplished his object
only with great difficulty. Finally he manag-
ed to reach the door, force it open, get to the
front door and inhale the fresh air. After a
little while he began to feel better, and he
then noticed strong odor of ether He has
tened back to the room and with difficulty
awoke his wife and child, who were both
under the influence of the anasthetic. After
they came to they were very sick. The room
was saturated with the smell of ether.
Investigation revealed the fact that the
window had been lifted few inches and a
hole torn in the mosquito screen, through
which probably sponge fastened to the end
OF stick had been inserted, after it had been
saturated with ether. The other end of the
stick was probably held by man standing on
the sidewalk, who intended, when the victims
were thoroughly etherized, to enter the room
and secure the money. Mr.. behring's wax
ing probably defeated the scheme, which was
daring one.

A Queer Fish.

A small fishing schooner which arrived in
port yesterday brought among the fish which
made up her cargo most curious looking fish
about two feet in length. The fish has no
bones, fins or tail, but in place of the latter las
pair of wings of a smooth. silky texture.
The fish is covered with soft skin without
scales. From around the head of the fish pro-
ject arms, or feelers, ten in number, and about
six inches in length. The mouth is small. 1t
has beak like that of a parrot. The eyes are
upon what appears to be the body of the fish,
which seems to have the power of drawing in
its head and arms within its body.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

OTTO.
Tonight Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. S. Knight will
appear at New Portland Theatre supported by
an efficient company, in Marsden's "Otto."
The Boston Advertiser says
Mr.. Knights impersonation of Otto has been
considered in this column more than once and
there is now no occasion to paraphrase previ-
GUS criticism. 1t may now be said that the
piece has been bettered by little cutting
down and freshened somewhat in musical
way. 1t seems, too, as though Mr.. Knight has
settled down into more stolid style of acting,
but, whether intentional or not, it rather in.
creases the effectiveness of his work in the
more serious passages Nothing, however. is
lost in the humor with which he has always in
fused the impersonation, nor in the richness of
his German-English tongue. Mrs. Knight lis
unchanged; her presence is pleasant, her act
ing intelligent, and her voice full of melody

This morning the tickets for D'Oyley Cartes
company's performances of "The Prates''-to
take place at City Hall Friday and Saturday
will probably meet with rapid sale at Stock
BRIDGES The agent says that Mr.. Carte IS
running only one company this season, and has
concentrated in it all the best talent of the
four companies he ran last season. The piece
will be mounted with especial care, the COM
pany bringing their own scenery. Miss Roose-
welt and Mr.. Talbot are no longer in this or
ganization, Miss Roosevelt having an opera
company of her own. We have no doubt the
opera will be well given. but we shall take
with much allowance the statement that it will
be done as well as at the Filth Avenue New
York, because that is an impossibility for any
travelling company to do in City Hall. Miss
Walsh, the Mabel, we are assured, is far bet
ter singer and actress than any one who has as
sumed the role. Our readers will remember
that the opera was very well presented by Mr.
Carte last season.
The tickets are now ready at Stockbridge's
for Howarth's Hibernica and McGill's Mirror
of Ireland, which will be produced at CITY
Hall tomorrow evening.

ing covered with valencennes, and above
them quilting of the same lace. A purple
morning dress, made with skirt and half
sack. is also trimmed with silver braid; and is
guilty as pretty as the wrapper. A brown walk
ing suit, a short dinner dress of two shades of

singer is to have for herself and not for the

SAN Francisco, Nov. 3.-Returns of
the state continue coming in rapidly,
but are of such nature as to render it eX-
tremely difficult to forecast the result
decidedly. One hundred and forty-five
precincts in the city give Hancock cleo
tors 1878 majority, and l, JIG majority
sOr RoseIious for congress. The re-
naming half dozen precincts are not
likely to materially alter the result.
In face of this it seems almost a fore
gone conclusion that the state will go
democratic by small majority, though
at republican headquarters they still
figure out a republican majority of
between 5000 and 1000
SAN Francisco, Nov. 1.-The city
vote complete gives Garfield 1914;
Hancock y, AS; Weaver, 643. For
congress, Rosecrans, democrat, 90
$50; Davis, republican, 10 ,430; Maybell,
greenback, 655. This still leaves the
state unsettled.
San Francisco, Nov. A Portland
dispatch says the latest election news
gives the clear republican majorities
west of the Cascade mountains at one
thousand This includes the southern
counties. In the counties east of the
mountains the democratic majority is
not likely TO be over 700 and viii not
exceed 500 at the most. Allowing for
all possible errors we estimate for parts
of the counties not yet reported re-
publican majority; it cannot fall below
800. These figures are based on actual
returns. The state is sure for repub-
hcans though by a majority less than
was expected.
