HORSE STEALING ADVENTURES.
Capture Of one Of the Horse "Fanciers'
at Boston.

Below we publish an account Of the inter
esting adventures of couple of horse thieves.
One of them was arrested at Boston Wednes-
day and his companion--a woman-is still at
large. 1t seems that according to all evidence
the arrested party is the identical person who
in August last, relieved Mr.. Littlefield of Saco,
of a horse and wagon, which was never after
wards heard from. On the 18th Of August last
well dressed stranger entered Lttlefeld's
stable on Water street, Saco, and said he want
ed to engage team for three or four days to
go to Goodwin's Mills by way of Alfred. He
gave his name as G. G. Montgomery and said
he was travelling salesman. Mr.. Littlefeld
let him have a team which he valued at $40
and the stranger drove off. He was seen at
the Eastern depot short time after by Mr..
Littlefelds son, and as this was entirely out of
the road he had said he wanted to travel it
was evident that his story had been merely got
ten up to deceive. The team has not been
seen or heard of since. On last Saturday eve-
ming woman called at Cobb's stable, Port
land, wanting to hire team for the purpose,
she said of visiting her sick mother at Gorham.
Instead of going to see her "sick mother" how
ever, she came to this city end put up at the
Dluu6IOfu BOusc anu Hdu tue team pub up
there. On the same evening man arrived
here and also registered at the same place. He
was seen in the company of the woman and is
supposed to be the same man from the descrip-
tion given of him. that stole the team owned
by Mr.. Littlefield last August Sunday morr-
ing the woman got horse from J. W. Gilpat-
rick's stable on Alfred street, and after having
it out while brought it back with the remark
that it was not good enough to suit her. She
afterwards tried to get horse from Hamilton's
stable, but was refused. 1t Is likely from her
actions that if she had obtained a better team
here than the one she brought she would have
left the latter and and carried off the fresh one.
Sunday afternoon she went away in company
with the man before mentioned and when last
heard from they had put up at Rumery's, in
Dayton. On Wednesday afternoon the police
at Boston arrested a man answering to the de-
scription of the man who was here Sunday, on
charge of stealing horse at Lewiston. At
this last named place he gave his name as
obtained q team ostensibly for eight days, but
whereabouts of the team has not yet been
heard from. 1t is said that the horse was tax
en- to Portland and then shipped to Providence
and detectives are nov working up the clue.
The real name of the person is Charles +. Clark
of Lawrence, Mass. He stands feet inches
in height, has light hair q slight halt in his
walk and is about SO years of age. The woman
is believed to be an Emery. formerly of Saco.
Her mother acknowledges that she was in Saco
on the Sunday referred TO and this is probably
correct, The outcome of this affair will be
watched with interest-Biddeford Times.

be false and fictitious. The second warrant

Concerning Cotton.

The decline of two cents a pound in the
price of raw cotton since August will be good
thing for the cotton mills of Lewiston, unless
decline in the prices of manufactured goods
is forced. None of our mills nor their selling
agents have any accumulated stocks on hand I;
and if the present condition of the market con-
tinues the mills will make an excellent show
ing at the close of the present six months
Jobbers have been working hard to effect re-
duction in the prices of sheeting, during the
last fortnight. There was temporary waver-
ing among the selling agents, but they have
closed up their ranks again, so to speak, and
now decline to make concessions. Owing to
the warm weather, many jobbers have not
cleaned out their stocks and are not biting so
sharply as if the fall had been cold. But
manufacturers are in position to be firm and
they believe that they will hold up their
market. Said Lewiston manufacturer to a
Journal reporter: "Cotton goods really went
down before cotton did. To-day we are get
ting 81 net for our fine white sheetings; one
year ago we got 94c net. A difference of half
a cent per yard means almost a dividend. 1t
amounts to $50, 900 in year to mill making
ten million yards. This fact must also be EN-
sidered-that the product of the next month
or two will be made of cotton bought before
the decline. Our selling agents are Instructed
to stand firm on prices. Lewiston journal.

Morrill, Bros. of Cumberland Center have
packed at their factory in that town this year
10000 cans OF sweet corn which was put up
in the neatest manner possible. If it had been
good corn season they would probably have
packed 100000 cans. The canning of lamb
and mutton will soon be in order and larger
business will be done at their factory in that
branch.
The Winslow Packing Company. at Var
mouth are now busily engaged in putting up
apples-which is a now feature at this factory.
About fifteen men and girls are employed at
present, and some sixty bushels of apples
canned daily. Mr.. Lowell the superintendent
informed as that new machine will be put
in next week and the help increased. They
will probably pack about 100 bushels daily as
soon as they get well underway.

A Great journalistic Feat.

The enterprise shown by the Portland Pre- s
on the occasion of the recent session of the
American Board Of Commissioners of Foreign
Missions in that city is very commendable. The
committee of arrangements provided for about
1000 persons, and 1000 strangers were proba-
bly, present. City Hall was crowded, and
overflow meetings filed two churches. The
Press, each day during the session of four
days. published very elaborate reports of the
proceedings, CLEANED by corps of reporters
with Mr. e. f. Duren of tnis city, at its head,
and at the close issued special edition of the
PRESS, devoting fourteen large pages to the de-
tailed proceedings, and also an elaborate direc-
tory of the multitude in attendance. Six
thousand copies of the special edit ON were
printed, and, they being quickly exhausted,
some Of the type was reset, and a second edi-
tion of large proportions; was issued. The de-
mand was very great, and one man ordered
five hundred copies. This was remarkable
journalistic feat, and will rebound greatly to
the credit of the PREss.-T Bangor Wing
