WITH INTENT TO KILL.
Particulars of the Brunswick Assault.

"a Jn6 DIQSWiCk AbS4ulbs
The Brunswick Telegraph says Of the assault
mentioned in the PRESS yesterday:
Charles McQarrie Ia man giving that name)
was brought before Judge Jordan ON Saturday,
the 9th nit, charged with an assault on Capt.
Causland, watchman at the depot, with Intent
to kill. After hearing the testimony the Judge
bound the man over in the sum of $4,000, in
default OF which he was taken and imprisoned
in the Portland jail to await the action of the
grand iary.
The sum of the evidence was this: When
the Pullman train came in ON Friday night the
conductor warned Capt. Causland to look ont
for tramps, and he pointed ont one, who, he
said, had ridden into Brunswick on the truck
frame Very soon after meeting this man the
Capt. noticed companion with him, and re-
membering the conductors caution. he kept
an eye on the men as well as the baggage and
mails. In short time the men passed out of
the building and were seen by The Captain
looking in at the back windows. He put down
his lantern, went out and asked what they
wanted. They said they wished to remain in
the depot and the Captain told them they
would not be permitted to remain After
some further parleying, with threatening Ian
guage the mon left
1t appears that they went out on Main street
and Lou. Norman came across them and the
result was that the truck-frame tramp con-
cluded he would stop in the Brunswick House,
and the landlord was called up and the fellow
accommodated in the Office. The other chap
told Norman he would return to the depot and
Norman advised him not to, as he would in
evitably get into trouble, as he was evidently
full OF liquor, though not drunk. Norman
swears that he drew seven-shooter, and
swore he would lcok out for himself. He did
return, and Capt. Causland ordered him off
again, and the fellow was insolent, and drew
pistol and fired, the ball just grazing the Cap
tain's temple; the scamp gave the Captain
crack with the pistol and cut cash in his
scalp.
Then Causland grappled with the fellow, and
tussle aensued, the Captain finally reaching
the lantern and beating the fellow over his
head. Finally Norman came up, and the fell
low was arrested and taken to the lookup.
Norman searched him for a pistol, out did
not find it; but the captain found one near
where the fellow was arrested, seven-shooter,
with one barrel discharged, and the captain
has this pistol in his possession.
McQnarrie says he came from SebagALake,
and was summoned as witness to lewiston,
and having ticket-no ticket was shown-he
had claim to lodge in the depot A ticket is
good fsr six years, and surely depot cannot
be used as hotel for that length of time. The
prisoner denied that he had pistol,
In relation to lodging at the station, this fact
may be mentioned. The same night, an elder
ly man, wish ticket lodged in the gent. s
room, Capt Causland telling him to make
himself as comfortable as possible, while wait
ing for the Bath morning train.

Horse Car priusrs, strika.

On Nov. LIST, eleven horse-car drivers on the
city line, signed request to Superintendent
Wheeler of the Horse Railroad Company, to
the effect that they desired their seats restored
on the front of the cars, claiming it was un-
reasonable to expect them to stand sixteen
hours day, and threatening resignation-to
take place Thursday-if their request was not
granted. When the days business was ended
Thursday, the men left Yesterday morning
seven of the number failed to put in an ap-
pearance and were discharged.
We are informed at the office, that many
complaints were made by citizens, that the
drivers abused the privilege of the seats.
These seats consist Of broad strap. Running
lengthwiss of the front of the car, and the
driver sits sidewise on the strap, causing him
to present his back to one side of tho street.
AS the cars do not carry conductors, it is diff
cult for driver to notice signals from the side
towards which his back is turned. The Su-
perinteDdent says he investigated the matter
and found the privilege abused One driver
rode almost half the length of Congress street,
sitting on his strap, reading newspaper, with
the reins hanging, and paying no attention to
wonld-be passengers. Therefore he had the
seats removed intending to afterwards restore
them under certain restrictions. The action Of
the drivers, however, has rendered such pro
ceeding-as far as the strikers is concerned
impossible. New drivers will be engaged to
take the strikers places. There are six of the
old drivers still in the company's employ, whs
failed to sign the petition The Deering line
drivers are not connected with the strikes.
The drivers send us the following commune
cation:
PORTLAND, Nov. 3, 1882.
To the Editor of the Press:
A word regarding the sc called strike on the
Horse Railroad We drivers asked the presi-
dent of the road for chance to sit short dis
lance at each end of the route, and as it vas
not allow ed, we refused to take our cars out to
stand on our feet fifteen hours per day. You
will be doing US ereat favor if you will insert
this piece, and show to the public clear case
of cruelty to ANIMALS,
Respectfully yours, DRIVER.

THE PLANTERS WIFE.
An exchange says: "Mr, j. K Tillotson's
comedy drama the planters Wife, was pre-
sented at the Academy of Music last night by
Miss Maud Granger, supported by Harry Lacy
and most excellent company The plot OF
the Planters Wife" has been given in these
columns and therefore, nsen not be repeated
now. AS presented at the Academy last night
by Miss Granger and supporting company, It
was genuine surprise to all, proving one OF
the strongest and most charming comedy dra-
mas We have seen for some time on the boards.
Miss Changers performance OF the leading role
OF Edith Grey was the most pronounced sue
cess. She was both artistic and effective, her
emotional scenes being particularly good MISS
Granger is beautiful woman and tnlsned
artlste. OF the support, Mr.. Harry Lacy as
the planter, Albert Graham, looked and acted
the part to perfection. Miss Elsie Moore as
Dora Graham, the Southern heiress, was
charming, and Miss Lillian DeGrom as Angle
Gordon walked right into the hearts OF the au-
dience. The star company and play may Dc
pronounced an unqualified success"
The planters Wife" will be produced at
Portland Theatre next Monday evening.

The Veteran Gunner Club has received from
one Of its members, Mr.. William Ross of
Philadelphia, beautiful statuette, after the

and by no means original, is yet treated with
that delicacy and faithfulness which cannot
fail to enforce its lesson. We believe the gift
has not yet been formally presented.

Hazel Ki5kes drew another good house last

1t does seem to bad that while other cities
preserve the greatest order in their cemeteries
and vandalism is almost unknown, that here
in Portland human ghouls should hover about
the temples of the dead to rob their graves of
the flowers, tributes of love and affection. In
our western cemetery, while few burials take
place there, still when they do the graves are
robbed. A vase of flowers placed before
tomb the other day, was overturned, the vase
trampled under foot and the white cotton rib
bon which held them together was stolen. 1t
would seem well to have our cemeteries pro-
tected even if a policeman is daily detailed to

A Curious Bit of fortune.

There is man In this city who is considers
bly, given to speculation; goes out into the
country and bnys few carloads of potatoes or
anything else that he thinks he can turn to adj
vantage The other day he gathered together
every cash dollar that he had in the world and
borrowed all the spare money that merchant
friend of his had, the whole aggregating quite
large sum of money, with view to a specu-
lation trip with plenty of the ready rhino.
That night he was very careful TO see that all
the doors and windows in the house we've very
securely fastened when he arose in the
morning he threw ND the window to see if the
milk-man had got around, when, much to his
horror, his eye lit upon his pocket book in the
grass near the garden walk: The first idea
was that it had been stolen, rifed and thrown
there. He rushed down stairs, and much to
his Joy found the well fllod pocket book all
safe with contents intact. It seems that he
had stepped into tho gar 'en the previous even
lug, to get plant, and in STOPPING the wallet
slipped from his pocket. The funny part
comes in that he should then 81 securely fasten
the house and that the nilkman should be
late. AS the mans entire estate was in thai
pocket book, as well as some hundreds of dol
lors of his friends money, his feelings upon
the subject can better be imagined than de-
