LEFT THE HOSPITAL
Sudden Disappearance of Patient with
Considerable Property Belonging 10
Fellow Patients.


George Davis, who has been at the Maine
General Hospital for few weeks, left quite
suddenly Saturday. He got ex ,used, saying
that he wished to be away that afternoon and
evening. Yesterday morning his bed was va
cant and his whereabouts are unknown TO
anyone about the hospital. On Investigation
1t.Was discovered that he had committed rob-
berry. a gentleman who had been at the hos
pital but few days was to be etherized Satur-
day afternoon and an operation performed
Davis went to the man aud said, ''If you have
any valuables you had better put them in my
care until after the operation The gentls-
man then handed Davis his pocket book,
which contained a twenty dollar gold piece
and come 500 in bills, besides notes to the
value of about S400, also s watch and chain,
but the chain did not suit Davis, 80 he ex-
changed for better one with another OF the
patients, saying that he was going to an
entertainment and would return it in short
time.
Davis did not stop here, but borrowed very
nice cane Of still another patient, present
from q number of friends. This did not seem
to satisfy Davis, and he took several articles of
clothing from others in the ward.
Davis said he had been to work on the Great
Falls and Conway Railroad, and he came to
the hospital to be treated for a trouble in his
side. The notes taken from the gentleman
were given by Trickey & Jewett, well known
lumber dealers at Bangor, and and many other
places out OF the State. Payment on these
notes has been STONED.

Law AND ORDER LEAGUE.
Meeting at Pine street Church Last
Night.


Very nearly every seat in Pine street church
was occupied last evening at the meeting of
the Law and Order League After the open.
ing services. conducted iu an interesting man
ner by the pastor, Rev. j. M. Williams, the
Rev. Mr.. Lowden was introduced as the first
speaker.
Mr. Lowden dwet upon the immensity of
the liqaur evil, and attributed much of its pre-.
vslence to the existing feeling of selfshness
among the people. He based his plea for pro-
hibtion on the motto of the Woman's Chris
tan TenpeFaucs Union, "for God, and home
and native land" and predicted the final
downfall Of the crime, although it will die
hard.
Mr.. VIM. b. Gould was next introduced
and referred to the similarity between the
laws Of matter and these governing the con
science of man, and said that while the growth
OF prohibition had been slow, il had been sure.
Only thirty years back it was not considered
derogstory to mans reputation to drink hab-
ituailg. It will now seriously damage his
credit.
Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, President of the
State League OF the Womans Christian Tenn
persnce Union, was then introduced.
Mrs, Stevens mentioned the fact that those
who visited the rum shops and police station
were not those who would favor license and
talk of tho inequality of sumptuary laws 1t
is the stern logic OF events that has brought
the members of the Woman's Christian Tenn
peIance Union to believe in prohibition The
law providing for the teaching of the evils of
intemperance in public schools has already
passed in six States and is now pending before
the legislatures OF eighteen others. Mrs.
Stevens read the text of the law recently
passed in this State on the subject, and said
that thns to be forewarned and forearmed was
the best safeguard against this evil for the
rising generation.
After singing by the congregation few re-
marks were made by Mr. Geo. L Kimball,
President of the Law and Order League of this
city, and the meeting was dismissed with the
benediction.

Fire Departn,eut.

1t is reported that steam fire engines Nos. 8
and are nearly unfit for hard work at a FIRE
Engine No was built by the Portland Com
pany IN 1869, and is the Oldest engine now in
use in the city She has done some good work
in the past, but is now considered unfit for
hard pumping and will probably have to be re.
placed by new machine. II this is done it is
thought likely that it will be sent to Peaks
Island. Here the machine would be capable of
doing good work at fire in any of the low
buildings on the island.
Engine No. is Manchester engine, and
will probably be sent to that city should it be
decided TO replace her boiler and make other
repairs.
Several new fire alarm boxes will probably
be added TO the list before long.

three years of age, a teamster for the West
brook Manufacturing Company at Saccarappa,
was killed Saturday forenoon, by being caught
between the elevator platform and casing OF

almost instantaneous, as there were no signs of
life in the body when found. He was caught
by the chin and his skull crushed No one
saw the accident, but teamster driving by
saw his legs protruding, and Immediately gave
the alarm. Another account from the scene of
the casualty says the first notice of McFarland's 8
death was brought by an employe of the mill
who had been sent in search OF him. He dis
covered him as above described, and at once
notified Mr.. Frank Haskell. the agent of the
company, who fastened TO whore the elevator
is located and found that Mcfarland was dead.
1t is sup gosed that he was caught by the eleva-
tor as it was going up, and that he started it
himself, as there was no one else about at the
time. mcfarland was we'll known in Sacca-
Kappa, hut was native Of some place in the
Provinces. He had been married about year
and leaves wife and mother in Saccarappa.
