RIXEY THE
Like Talmage, Investigates the Saloons

Thieves and Robbers.

T. p. Rixey, of Jonesburg, prohibition
list, greenbacker, agitator and readjuster,
thinks he is ''playing HI and skinnng
several minks." He is fighting the regu-
lar democratic nominees and makes Rome
howl with bitter prohibition speeches.
He threatens to stake the stump There
are some people who would not only take
stumps but stoves, providing they were
not too internally hot. Said T. z. Rixey
was in Mexico a few days since. We
hear that while at heme he shuns saloons
as though they were kept by lepers or had
smallpox flags out. While here he was
in a saloon. We don't know what he was
doing inside. The screen was up. Men
do different things and take 1t In different
ways in saloons. While IN the saloon he
had his coat and legal papers stolen.
How, or by whom, we do not know. We
,hase given this matter some thought ; but
cannot, for the life of us, see what this
saint of a prohfbitionist was doing in a 50.

stolen, unless he went to sleep. He will
not take the stump until he finds his coat.

THE MOREY LETTER.

It's Authorship Traced to q Prominent
Officer Of the Hancock Republican Club
OF New York.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The origin of the
Morey letter has at last been discovered. The
ringleader in the conspiracy was I'll. FL. Had
ley, prominent officer of the Hancock Re-
publican Club of New York, an organization
that embraced within its membership num-
ber of Republican politicians who jumped into
the Democratic ranks at time when they i'm
agined Hancock would be elected. Hadley
has told the story of his connection with the
forgery. MWhile the details of the statement
are suppressed, it is known chat Hadley and
his associates palmed off the letter as an orig
inal document upon the Democratic national
committee. Davenport of New York, who,
with Bliss is said to deserve the credit of hay
ing unearthed the forgery, is still engaged in
following up the trail with the expectation of
Ex-senator Barnum is marked by the Repub-
lican detectives for victim, and Davenport is
straining every nerve to secure evidence that
Barnum or some other prominent Democrat
knew of the forgery before it was published.
The investigation already made completely ex-
onerates Representative A. S. Hewitt OF any
knowledge of the forgery. It is reported as
gossip that ex-Congressman H. G. Worthing-
ton, who was collector of customs at Charles
ton, S. c., during Patterson's ad-
ministration Of that State, had knowledge of
the forgery. Worthington is a native ofCum-
berland, Md, where Lindsey lived. He was
member of the Hancock Club. The story goes
that Worthington persuaded Lindsey to recol-
lect that he knew Morey and was familiar with
his handwriting

FIRE IN WEsTBRooK.
Marrow Escape from Disastrous
Conflagration.
PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF THE
PAPER FACTORY.
Loki Makes Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollar Meal.

AT 10 o'clock last night word came by tele-
phone that the Warren paper mills at Cumber-
land Mills were on fire, that the flames were
spreading, and the village in danger of destruc-
tion. The aid of the Portland fire department.
was asked, and Chief Engineer Cloyes
despatched Cumberland 8 and its hose car
riage, the men going out in express wagons
and the Engineer running ahead with his team.
While the engine was making its preparations
the reporters of the morning papers jumped
into Dan Knights hack and reached the Mills
in twenty-five minutes. By that time the fire
was under full control, and aside from the
smell of smoke, crowds of curious spectators,
and dismantled room in the paper factory, no
evidences of it were to be seen.
The fire broke out, Mr.. William L. Longley
the agent, informed the reporters, in the
enameling room where paper used for illus
trated labels and like purposes is hung on lines
and dried by steam. In this room, about a
hundred feet square, is neither stove nor fur
mace, and the origin Of the fire is therefore q
mystery. As soon as the fame was noticed
the employees of the mills, who number some
hundreds, and are organized into fire bri-
gades, went to work at the Sebago hydrants
and Blake steam pumps (of which there are
two, throwing fifteen streams); and with the
help of the village folk, who took hold with
vigor and gave good help, the fire was confined
to the room in which it started.
1t was menacing at first, threatened the de-
struction of the village, and reused feeling
of anxiety becuse Of the great stock of COM
bustibles in the large buildings. So help was
asked of Portland. But the energy and
shrewd management of tho townspeople con-
quered the danger, and by the time our engines
got there their services were not needed. The
damage done was, however, considerable. The
roof of the building and the wood work were
destroyed and the loss thereby will be nearly,
If not quite $1,000. Six machines valued at
$4,000 were ruined, and the stock of paper in
the room, worth $1,000 was burned Two of
the paper machines in the room below were
damaged to the amount Of $1,000, and consd-
erable stock ruined. The total loss cannot
fall much below $4,000. The mills, owned
by S. D.. Warren & Co, of Boston, are insured
in the Massachusetts Mutual. 1t will take a
fortnight at least to repair the damage done to
the enameling room, and ef course some delay
in filling orders must be expected. The other
rooms will run today as usual The Presump-
scot mills, adjoining, are uninjured.

FOREIGN.
The Irish Situation.

LONDON, May 5.-In the Commons this even
ing Sir Michael Hicks Beach gave notice that
in consequence of the critical state OF Ireland
he would move Monday it is of paramount i'm
portance that the governments entire Irish
policy be submitted to the House for discus
sion. This motion is intended to elicit a state
ment on which vote OF censure may be based.
Gladstone replied that he would consent to
the discussion taking place Monday and II
necessary would also devote Tuesday thereto.
This notice of Sir Michael is doubtless the
outcome of to-days meeting at the Carlton
Club.
LONDON, May 5.-The Times says it may be
inferred from the appointment OF Earl Spencer
to the vice royalty Of Ireland and Lord Fred
erick Cavendish to the chief secretarysh1p,
that Mr.. Gladstone intends practically to as
sumo not only the responsibility for but the
immediate control Of the Irish policy.
Mr. Parnell contradcts various reports con-
cerning him. He says that he does not intend
to 90 to America, and that he will not ad-
dress his constituents until the coercion act IS
repealed or has lapsed. The idea OF reviving the
Land League, he says, is not mooted or even
thought of. :.
Lord Cavendish with Eregret and wonder. 1t
considers that great opportunity has been
thrown away.
At a great meeting of conservative members
of Parliament held at the Carlton Club today
it fs said to have been uhanimouly resolved to
arrest further developments of the governments
Irish policy, and if answers to the questions re-
lative thereto be unsatisfactory to move a
resolution of censure.
LIMERICK, May 5.-It is reported that Cliff
ford Lloyd, special magistrate for Glare, has
been notified of his approaching transfer to an
other county.
LONDON, May 6.-Michael Davitt will be re-
leased to-day.

started for Ireland this evening.
