Yesterday morning six walters at the United
States Hotel made demand upon Mr..
Mcdonald for the reinstatement of George
Devine, saying that if Devine was not taken
back, they had concluded to leave.
1t seems that Devine has been working at
this hotel part of the time as kitchen boy and
fireman and part of the time as waiter Be-
coming dissatisfied with mis- work, he gave
notice at the office that he would like to re-
main in the dining hall but objected to- the
other work, whereupou Mr.. Mcdonald in
formed him he would have to employ man to
do the same work and after a few days man
was employed to take Devine's place. Devine
was notified yesterday morning, paid and
discharged. Disappointed by this result he
told his grievances to his associates, who con-
cluded not TO go to work at noon unless Deyne
could have situation as waiter.
Mr.. Mcdonald declined to take Deyipe
back, paid his friends their salaries, and SO
the house was left for the time being with
only four walters.

RurglarV.

Aboutihaf-past eight o'clock last night a
Mr.. Shaw, living on Danferth street, saw
light in the house of Charles r. Milliken on
the corner of Bracket and Danforth streets,
which has been unoccupied for some time
Mr.. Miliken and family being at the noun
tains. His first thought was that some mem
Der Of the family had returned Later in the
evening he grew suspicious and related what
he had seen to Mr.. W. T. Milliken. Ascer-
tanning from him that no member of the fam
lily was in the city, Mr.. Shaw telephoned to
the police Office. This was abont 10 o'clock,
two hours after the light was first seen. Off,
GERS Heath and Garland were dispatched to
the house and found that two panes of glass
had been removed from cellar window and
an entrance effected in this way. On going up
stairs the officers found lamp which was still
warm indicating that it was the one used by
the burglars. Mr.. Millikens room had been
thoroughly ransacked, the contents of bureau
drawers being spread upon the floor. Several
other rooms gave evidence of the same thor
ough overhauling How much and what the
burglars secured could not be ascertained last
night. Probably all articles of much value
had been taken care of before Mr.. n aiken
left. The officers judge that the bur
glars were not boys as several articles which
boys would be likely to take were left ON the
floor

THE MOUSAM INFANTICIDE.
Sarah Written Arrested on Suspicion.

A dispatch from Kennebunk, last week to
PRESS spoke of case of presumed infanticide.
A child, six weeks old, was found dead in the
Mousam river, with its tongue partly cut cut
The child was thought to belong to woman
who came to that place on the 18th inst, in the
cars, bringing child in her arms.
Yesterday forenoon,a Mr.. Traves, who resides
on st. John street, notified the police that last
week woman named Sarah Written, aged
about % years. who had previously been en-
ployed in his family, again sought and obtain
ed work at his house. Thursday last she hap
pened to see paper containing an account of
the alleged infanticide at Kennebunk land after
reading it, showed signs of uneasiness The
personal description of the woman accused of
the murder, and Miss Written, correspondent
perfectly. In the afternoon she told Mrs Traves
she desired to 20 to friends at Libby's Cor
ner, to pass the night, but before starting, she
retrimmed her hat and changed her finger
rings and wearing apparel. Mrs. Traves' sus-
picions were aroused, and when Miss Written
left the house, she watched her and saw
her go towards the city, instead of turning
from st. John street in the direction of Libby's
Corner.
Upon notifying the police, Officer Harmon
learned Miss Written had gone to Rochester,
n. H., on Thursday evenings train, and was
stopping with Mrs. Moody. A telegram was
Immediately sent to the county attorney of
York county, and by the latter's orders Miss
Written was to be arrested by the Rochester
police yesterday afternoon to be brought to AL
fred, and lodged in the county jail to await a
hearing.
A reporter of the PRESS called on Mr.. Trayes
last evening. He said that Miss Written came
in town on Wednesday, the Goth. He used to
reside in block near his barber shop (Which
is located on Portland street, and could hear
the house bell ring from the shop. He heard
the bell on that day and going round the corner
found Miss Written there. She asked for his
wife. He said she was living on st. John
street and Miss Written said she guessed she
would 60 there. She told Mr.. Traves she had
just come from her home at Alfred. She told
his wife she came from Saco by the Eastern
road. Mr.. Traves said he knew nothing about
her except that she belonged in Alfred, and
was always very close mouthed, and uncom-
muncative, but did her work WELL
Since writing the above we have learned
the woman has been arrested and has con-
fessed that she murdered the child. The
police here are now looking after Ter betrayer
He is known to them and is somewhere in
this CITY,

The Cyclone at Freenort,

The late cyclone proved very disastrous at
South Freeport. Mr. George F. Lewis inform
ed a reporter for the PRESS last night that he
had never, even in the West Indies, seen so
much water fall in the same space Of time.
In a half hour, the duration of the storm,
there were four inches of water stood on the
floor of the carriage-house. The atmosphere
seemed surcharged with moisture There were
big drops and little drops of rain, and hail, the
size of large shot, all enveloped in watery
mist. The damage he estimates at least,
$4,000 to that vicinity. He had his years crop,
acres of nice corn, and quantities of valua-
BILE gratis destroyed. He knows of about
$4,000 worth of property destroyed in the
shops of corn intended for canning. At Free
port Corner there was hardly any storm.

Lancaster Hall.

Lancaster Hall was constructed in 1851 by
Hon. John B. Bown and as is well-known, is
now in process of demolition. The Transcript
says:
Lancaster Hall was 100 feet deep by 40 in
width, and % feet in height, and would seat
800 persons. 1t was first opened to the public
in the winter of 1852. In February of that
year the Sacred Music Society gave concert
in Fit, at which Miss Cammett sang, and
Kotzschmar and Henry Edwards gave piano
overture. The same winter the Mendelssohn
Quintette Club gave series of concerts there,
in which Adelaide Phillips, Miss Helen
Paine, and Mr. A. P. Wheelock sang, and
Kotzschmar and Jungnickel played. June
18th, 1852, Ole Bull gave a grand concert in
Society and Alfred Jaell, the great pianist
The early lectures of the Mercantile Library
Association were given in this hall Here
Henry Ward Beecher was first heard among
us. We remember him saying in his lecture
that no man past forty could accept progress
could not accept all of Mr.. Beechers teach
ings, said privately, after the lecture, that it
was evident that Mr.. Beecher had not vet
reached forty. Here we have heard John
Pierpont deliver poem, and Oliver Wendell
Holmes lecture on Audiences" Being asked
at the close of his lecture; how he liked his
present audience, Mr.. Holmes said II like to
feel that am speaking into the thick of my
audience" This was in allusion to the fact
that Lancaster Hall was long and narrow, and
the speakers stand was placed on one side of
it, instead of at the end so that he spoke
across the narrow part of his audience. Mr..
Holmes lectures were always humorous, and
we're much enjoyed, but they ceased very sud-
denly year or two after this. Being en-
gagged to lecture in the course, he wrote. ask
ing to be excused, on the score of his health
saying, 81 am we'll enough if stay at home,
but if go abroad 1 get SICK" We never
heard of his lecturing anywhere after this.
Lancaster Hall has been the scene of many
gay balls and rousing political meetings.
Here we Ehave heard the fiery Lousianian
Pierre Soule, and here in later times the Re-
publicans have celebrated their political victo-
ties by rousing impromptu meetings. In still
later da Us the hall has sunk to baser uses, be-
ing the scene of walking matches and sparring
contests. Now, in the westward march Of
trade, thanks to the enterprise of its original
builder, and his sons, it gives way to bust
ness block that will be an ornament to the
city.
