THE INCENDIARY.
Thompson Pleads Guilty Before Judge
Knight.

Yesterday morning Edward G. Thompson, or
Anderson, was arraigned in the Municipal
Court before Judge Knight, for arson. In re-
spouse to the question Of guilty, OR rot guilty,
after long pause, he replied guilty. Irving
w. Barker was appointed his counsel, and he
was committed to await the action of the Sem
TENDER grand jury.
Thompson's employer in Lewiston. Mr..
Hutchins, the box manufacturer, saws that
Thompson told him Saturday, the Sth instant
that he was going off. Mr.. Hutchins told him
that he did not want him to 60 and would in
crease his pay 20 per cent. if he would keep at
work. Thompson promised to remain while
on those conditions. He worked until last
Monday morning and then went off without
saying word to any one. They had not heard
from him until they learned of his arrest The
men in the shop, and Mr.. Hutchins as we'll,
thlnk thompson was insane. ''That fellow
was the queerest acting man ever saw. He
would sit in corner and hate himself an hour
at time without saying word to any one
lie didn't seem like anybody else," said one
workman, and all confirmed this statement
his brother said Edward attempted to commit
suicide three years ago, and he frequently COM
planned that his head didn't feel right. He
was always quiet and moody. Mr.. Hutchins

Alleged Fiendish Conduct.

In the Boston Municipal Court Monday af-
ternoon was heard the case against Henry
Kimball and William Lotus, engineer and
fireman in the employ of the Boston and
Maine Railroad Company, who were charged
with assault and battery upon William H.
Condor. The boys story was that he was
caught and carried to the engine by Kimball
and thrust head and shoulders into the fur
mace door. He also testified that he was sub
sequently taken on the locomotive, where Lof-
tus poured oil upon his head and rubbed him
with coal dust. This story was confirmed in
the latter allegation by hackman named
Barry. The defence was a denial of any at
tempt to thrust the boy into the fire. The 9TH
er assault was admitted, with the plea that it
was justified by the boys constant trespassing
and insulting language. The Court ruled that
the more serious offence was not proven, but
found the defendants guilty of assault, and
fined Kimball $50 and costs, and sentenced
Lotus to 30 days imprisonment in the county
jail Both appealed, and were held in $500
bail for trial in the upper court.

The Fourth of Julv.

MR.. EDIToR:-The celebration of the
Fourth of July is again brought to our notice.
1t is to be hoped that Mayor Senter will veto
the appropriation passed, and that the city
government will sustain him, as we believe
the majority of taxpayers, if not all, would
endorse such action. There is nothing pc
nurious in such course. Exhibitions of
patriotism should be spontaneous as it were.
A celebration Of the nations birthday
should be peoples celebration and should
not be dependent upon an appropriation by
the city government to be used largely in car
ry1ng out programme mostly for the benefit
OF one or another class in which the great ma
Jority take no pleasure. Let those who want
aquatic sports contribute thereto and arrange
their own programme; and so in other fea-
lures. A united effort of our citizens aided
by the city for bell ringing and national sa-
lutes, can with organized effort arrange for
lifting and appropriate celebration. If our
military companies would volunteer their SER
vices the fire department turn out with its
equlpage and our various industries he repre-
sented by procession which shall contrast
their condition to-day with what it was hun
dred years ago, programme would be ar
ranged which would please almost everybody.
1t could be supplemented by floral display
by the children. This would give us pro-
cession OF high order and at little expense.
All might be done by private contribution.
our merchants loaning their teams and owners
OF flags and various articles appropriate for
decoration supplying them.
Young men, get out your morning parade
of fantasies and old time continental
band The day should be observed, and while
time and this world lasts, q celebration of the
Fourth of July should not be allowed to die

The WiScasset Bonds

Mr.. Henry ingalls, of Wiscasset is in the CITY
looking up the bondholders of the town of
Wiscasset. The town is insolvent. 1t owes
S26O,OOO and its valuation is less than $3.50 900,
owing to heavy rate of taxation for some time
back and apprehension of trouble by reason of
suits brought against the city. These suits are
four in numbe and have driven from $50 900
to $4,000 personal property out of the town; a
town of 1000 inhabitants. There is no posi-
bility that the citizens can pay the indebted
ness The debt, as is we'll known, was caused
by three loans in aid of the railroad, one of
$4,000, then another of $31 900 to save the
first, and third of $43, 900 to save the other
two, and also by the war debt, and long con-
tinued heavy taxation. The town now pro-
poses to pay so per cent. of the present indebt-
edness, one quarter cash, and three-quarters in
new six per cent. bonds. Mr.. Ingalls, is irving
to find the bond-holders who are scattered from
New York to Eastport and get them to accept
the proposition.

The Hebron Return.

When the Hebron return was opened our at
tention was called to the middle initial of the
name of Henry G. Walker Fusion) it being
difficult to decide whether it was intended for
G. or g. AS all the other returns were G.,
we had no doubt this was so intended, and so
counted it. Some one has made the mark in a
ditfe trent colored ink since it left our hands,
"F5ndt defence" Governor and Council.
The defence" of which the above is an ex-
tract, is not signed by Tabulator John B. Fos-
ter OF Bangor Perhaps the explanation of
lowing extract taken from the testimony of
Hon. E. G. Harrington before the Hale COM
mittee;
Q.-When you examined that return,-ex-
amining the name of Henry G. Walker
calling your attention particularly to that,-at
that time how did you find it written?
Al found it written "Henry G. Walker"
By Mr.. Ingalls,:
Q.-December Sth?
Ayes; the evening of December Sth.
By M Strout.
Odd you make memorandum at the
time?
Ayes.
Q.-And knew the party perfectly?
Ayes.
Q.-How do you find that written now?
A-"Henry g. Walker" it would be called,
Q.-Has or has not the &C." been changed
to CT" by adding line to it?
Alt has.
Q.-Whether or not you find the original
&C. still upon the paper, so it can be clearly
seen and identified without the aid of a glass?
Alt looks so to me.
GLOW was it changed?
Al should suppose it was changed by maxi
ing an additional pen mark down.
Q.-Does it or not appear upon its face clear
ly?
Alt does.
Q.-Whether or not you communicated this
fact [of the error in the middle initial to any
person or to the "Oxford Democrat"
Al sent it to the Oxford Democrat.
Q.-Read to the committee the article in
that paper which refers to the name of Henry
G. Walker?
A.-"The town of Hebron gives Henry c.
Walker, candidate for commissioner seventy
two votes, instead of Henry G. Walker"
OIL understood you to say you called the
attention of John B. Foster one of the Coun-
Gil, to the condition of that return at that
time?
Al did
Odd he make any remark about it that
you remember?
lican or Fusion candidate, saying that he had
not examined the returns and did not know
the parties.
Odd you tell him?
Al told him that it was for the Fusion
candidate-that he was the Fusion candidate
Q.-So that fact was understood after that
by him?
Al told him.
By Mr.. ingalls,:
Odd you call the attention of any other
member of the Council to the "C'' in that
name?
Al do not think I did
Q.-Where was this?
An the Council room.
Q.-Any others of the Council present?
A.-There were two or three; [ think that
MIR. Brown was present and I think Mr.. Mon
roe was present. They were not doing any
business; it was not session of the Council;
but there were two or three Councillors aside
from Foster: do not know but what Mr..
Chase was in the Council room part of the
time.
Q.-Were they within hearing, and listen
ing to your conversation?
Al do not know that they were: Mr.. Fos-
ter and sat down at the Council table, and he
got these returns and sat down by me and we
examined them together, he passing them to
me.

The Daily Chronicle of Leadville Colorado

which will be read with interest by the many
friends of the Rev. G. W. Buck, formerly of
this city, who will be glad to know that he is
prospecting in his new home:
R. 81. Buck & Co., formerly doing business
at 40 Harrison avenue, have taken the new
offices recently fitted up by Mr.. Faxon. at 1O4
East Fourth street (No. Boston Block.
These offices are on the first floor, and, as
regards convenience of location and elegance
OF interior appointments, are among the best
in the city: Mr. Robert H. Buck, the senior
member of the firm, is an old resident of Lead
vile, and has long been highly esteemed in
this community. He was freely mentioned
as Republican candidate for Mayor at the
recent election-a nomination which might
have led the election to different result. His
brother, Charles W. Buck, has recently ioin-
ed him in business, bringing to the Joint con-
Germ the advantages of an extensive Eastern

quarters they will doubtless continue to do a
large share of the mining and real estate

CARDS the Congressional nomination they
united in the desire to get rid of the present
incumbent if possible. Prof. Bateman of

tute even for Murch. Hon. VIM NJ. Rust of
