Doris's Circus.

Doris's great and international circus and
menagerie makes little pretensions on paper,
but it is an excellent show. The street parade
yesterday morning WIS not as "long as the
moral law" but it was long enough, and the
various features were good.
The wonderful two headed girl Mile. Mile
Christine, held areception at the Preble House,
and surgeons, and the press. Mile. Mile
Christine has gained, of course, in maturity of
figure since her last visit end exhibition in
Lancaster Hall some seventeen years ago, but
not apparently in height. She was born of
slave parents in North Carolina in 1851, and is
consequently 80 years of age. She has two
perfectly formed heads and arms aud two pairs
of legs and feets. The trunk is that Of one
person. She is bright, lively, sings duet, So
prano and contralto, very prettily, and her
general appearance is pleasing rather than re-
pulsive.
The circus performance in the afternoon
and evening were exceedingly well patronized,
and the various acts were OF a high order Of
merit. William Sbowles executed some bare
back riding, jumping on and off horse at full
speed, which was better than anything of the
kind seen here for several years. ZazaePs
feats, walking wire with her feet in baskets
and being shot out OF cannon, the acrobatic
acts of the Siegrist children, the balancing by
japanese, and other performances, all drew
great applause.

Fire Near East Raldwin.

Yesterday afternoon while Mr.. T. j. Went
worth, who resides on a large farm at or near
East Baldwin, was looking out of the window
of the house, he sa spark from the chimney
light on his barn and set it on fire. He was SO
dazed, and, at the same time his nearest neigh
Dor lived quite a distance off that before ne
ran for help he forgot TO open the front door.
In the barn were four fine Jersey heifers, said
to be registered stock, and twenty-six Berk-
shire pigs. There was also all the implements
of frst-clsss creamery. Before help could
be procured, to any extent, the house and
barn, all the above stock and implements,
were consumed. tits reported only two ia
bles of all the furniture in the house we're
saved.
TIE house and barn and farm-ths latter
used for pastnrage-are owned by Mr.. Went
worth, but he leases the farm to Gen. Mat
tocks OF this city in connection with the Riv-
erside Farm of the latter. The house was
story and half affair, and the barn large sub
stantial structure, The loss on buildings and
furniture to Mr.. Wentworth must be about
$4,000 at least We did not hear If there was
any insurance. The loss on Gen. Mattocks'
stock must be heavy, as it is imported Our
informant estimated it as possibly $500, and
perhaps not over $500.

to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the

deposited their several golden offerings. The
older members of the family followed with APP
propriate addresses in prose aud poetry and
presented their tokens of affection.
The rooms we're beautifully decorated with

refreshments. It was very interesting and
enjoyable occasion. The presents were valu-
able-one pile of two hundred gold dollars was
the gift Of the citizens.

A BRIDGE BREAKS.
And Dumps a Coal Train into the Pre-
sumpscot.

year ago last spring the Westbrook Manu-
featuring Company erected bridge from the
main street, Saccarappa, to the company's
mill, distance of some three hundred feet.
The bridge was supported, in part, by iron
Sanctions, the lower ends OF the rods entering
into rocks in which holes had been drilled to
receive them. The bridge was constructed by
Mr.. e. @. Jordan, of this city, the well known
engineer. Last winter some of these stan
chions, it is reported, were lifted out of the
rocks, to which they had been fitted, by the ice
as it swept out of the river. This, however, is
matter of report only. The selectmen of the
town refused to allow the locomotives of the
Rochester road to cross Main street with cars
destined for these various branches of road
leading to the different factories but required
them to drop the trains when they reached the
street. OF course when the locomotives reach
ed the street they put on an extra force so as
to drive the trains across the bridge to the de-
sired destination. This force is necessarily
great since the track, instead of being perfect
ly straight, is shaped like tho letter s,
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock, a loco
motive, pushing twelve heavily loaded coal
cars, reached Main street, and, putting on
steam, showed the train on to the bridge. An
at once the bridge was seen to SILVER and sway
to and fro, and then it gave way, precipitating
six cars, with their freight, into the Presump-
scot, while seventh hung over the end of the
bridge that failed to give way. Nobody was
hurt. The expense, in the loss of tho bridge
and getting the cars out of the river must be
pretty heavy.

TIE STRIKE.
What the Company and Strikers Say.

Mr.. Bedlow said there were employed yester-
day at the main office OF the Western Union
IN this city, five operators, including Messrs.
Livermore and Bedow. Two young ladies
employed are good operators, and young man
who is at work is said to be as good an operator
as some of those who have left Mr.. Bedlow
says that the force employed has kept well up
with the messages offered. Mr. Bedlow saws
that they are not delaying business, and that
they had five good operators Sunday, and two
more expected yesterday.
The Brotherhood say that Mr.. Bedlow. Man
ager Livermore, Misses Bedlow and Hall, were
the only ones on duty yesterday, and they are
pretty nearly used up. Messages are piled on
every table, waiting transmission. Many are
sent BY mail. One reason why there is not
even more delayed business in the office is be-
cause the smaller country offices are nearly all
closed up, and consequently there Is no busi-
ness sent in from those places. Then again
our merchants and brokers are doing their
business by mail. They say that at noon yes
terday, but 81 messages had been sent out of
the Portland office, and there were IS messages
piled up on the quad and Is on the Montreal
wire, John Hasty, operator at the Farragut
House, one of the most important summer
offices. has closed the Office and come here to
join the strikers.
Yesterday one of the prominent members of
the order in this city went to Boston on secret
business. 1t is reported that should the COM
pany not come to terms before the end of the
week the railroad operators will be ordered to
strike. One night this week, possibly to-mor-
row, big meeting will be help by the strikers
of this section, and prominent members of the
Brotherhood from Boston, New York and the
West will make speeches.
Quite number of the merchants were asked
yesterday how the strike was affecting their
business, and they said 1t was combining them
almost entirely to local trade, that is to trade
which extended no farther west than Boston.
One prominent merchant said decidedly che
hoped the strikers would win, although he felt
much Inconvenience, and that there was no
doubt the company was liable for delay, and
heavy suits would be instituted against them"
The Brotherhood in this city received the
following dispatch by underground wire last
night.
Boston, July 23-5 pm.
Everything all right. All cable operators
struck at II to-day. Twelve chief operators
