MAINE DISPATCHES.
A BANGOR SENSATION.
Body of Child Reported Found on
Broad Street in That City.

BANGOR, June 2.
This noon a rumor was in circulation that
the body of child had been found in a
water closet on Broad street. Two persons
including City Marshal Reed went to the
designated place, and after asking two or
three persons found man who said the re-
port was true. For information they were
referred to a man by the name Of Samuel
S. Price, who lives on the Hampden road,
but who has for several days been en-
gagged in hauling away the filth from the back
of buildings on Broad street On being
questioned, Price, who is a laboring man
about 40 years of age, said that while clean
ing out a water closet last Thursday back Of
what is known as the Gillis house, he found
the body of child which was about decom-
posed. Upon being questioned as to why he
had not said something about the matter
before, he answered that he did not wish to
say anything for fear of getting the illwill of
the people who lived in the houses near at
hand. He finally mentioned it in casual
way and so the story leaked out. He said
he hauled the body in a load of garbage to
the DIR. Evans farm on Kenduskesg Avenue.
The whole transaction seems to be a queer
one. Ifa body was found it seems strange
that the fact was not reported to the City
Marshal. A great many believe the mans
story, while others believe there is nothing
in it. No reason can be assigned why Price
should misrepresent the matter. At all
events all that is thus far known is stated
above, and the affair remains a mystery.

PARIS, June 2.
The Republique Franchise publishes an

United States for allowing dynamiters to
complete organizations and plan outrages in

ton that America ere long will recognize

allowed to continue. England" he says,
lis justified in insisting that the athorities in
Washington shall cease to tolerate prepara-
tions for the outrages which are now made in
America. America will show herself just by
ending the odious scandal.

An interview is published with Senator Ed

mention of his name in connection with the
Presidency. believes he can rely upon the conf
dence and respect of the people of Vermont,
and shrinks from the trials and perpexites of
national politics. The Republican party is
stronger than it has been in decade. The Re-
publican President will be elected. He has re-
ceived AN appalling number of letters urging
his candidacy. The duty of the Chicago Con-
vention will be the selection Of candidates to fit
the party and not an effort to make the party fit
the candidates. AS to Arthur's candidacy he
said he had only heard of it through the news
