AN ISLAND SENSATION.
A Prisoner in the Lookup Attempts to
Set the Building on Fire.

Yesterday forenoon, Mr.. Hale, special po-
lice officer at Forest City rink, Peaks Island,
discovered that nuisance had been commit
ted in an ante room of the rink, and finding
a fellow there in an intoxicated condition,
Immediately arrested him for the deed. The
fellow stoutly denied any knowledge of the
matter, but Hale took him to the lookup on
the island, and borrowing the keys of the
janitor of the building, locked him up and
left him without searching him. About
noon, Mr.. Robinson Sterling, the ianitor,
went in to see if the fellow needed anything,
and upon reaching the cell door, he noticed a
lot Of shavings, spotted with blood, upon the
floor of the cell He opened the door, and
discovered that the man had been making a
desperate attempt to escape. The door of
the cell is made of hard wood Stats, about
3x1A inches, and the man had nearly severed
one of them and had hacked several others,
while a very heavy bucket in the cell had
been splintered in his efforts to break the
door down. Further investigation by Mr..
Sterling showed that he had cut the edge of
the door into shayings and had attempted to
set them on fire, and also that the top of the
cell had been cut and hacked. A severe cut
upon his hand was sustained during his eff
forts to escape, and the door and floor of the
cell were stained with blood. Mr. Sterling
searched him and took large knife and
some matches from him, and he was brought
up to the city in the afternoon and lodged in
the station. Had Mr.. Hale turned the fell
low over to the officers of the regular police
stationed at the island, and who are always
within call, as he should have done, the pris-
oner would not have been locked up without
having been searched and the dangerous ar
ticles taken from him, thereby rendering
him powerless to do injury to himself or to
the property of the city, as was DONE

A Few Items From One of Maine's
Summer Resorts.

This is busy season with all the houses
here, and the trains on the little branch road
are daily crowded with pleasure seekers
Last Thursday evening a grand carnival
took place on the river. in which the merry
RATS, occupied and manned by the smiling
faces of the little dears, who yearly congre-
gate at this seaside resort, was a pleasing
pastime. Between fifty and sixty boats
beautifully decorated with Chinese Ian
terms, ETC.. made the river one blaze of light,
and an observer was led to believe he was
surely within the surroundings of the beau
tiful Venice. Mrs. VIM. Bancroft's Cleopa-
tra's barge was the feature, and as it rose
and fell with the increasing tide it made one
think of the fancy gondolas in some
beautiful picture. 1t was brilliant success
The village was Illuminated, excursion
trains were run to Biddeford and number
were present from Old Orchard. Next Fri
day occurs the annual prize regatta for lad
les only, in which some twenty-five of the

OCEAN PARK.
Sunday School Institute Yesterday
Afternoon.

The twelfth day has been attended with
more than ordinary interest.
The largest morning audience present dur
ing the assembly were gathered in the Tenn
pie yesterday morning. President Deering
presided. Prayer was offered by Rev. A. H.
Morrell.
Rev. DR.. Dunn gave the second lecture of
the course on 'sThe Development of Human
Nature" Beginning with the facts estab-
lished by yesterdays lecture the develop
ment of the intellectual and moral qualities
All intellectual development depends on
simple sensation. There are not more than
six or seven original ideas in the human
mind. Development consists in gathering,
compounding, and practicing knowledge.
The development of moral nature begins in
the recognition of the claim of others. Any
being to whom an obligation is due has a
right to dictate in regard to the way that
obligation shall be discharged. The natural
ness of the law OF God received passing com
ment. The development of mankind as a
whole was next considered. Abnormal
developments are still nature, but perverted
nature. Hereditary deprayity and original
depravity were cOntrasted. The only way
to overcome either is by opposing forces.
Thank God! we have the promise of help
without which we should all be lost. The
glory and nobility of true manhood were
eloquently presented in a glowing perora-
ton.
A little time was given to answering ques-
tions and the service was concluded with a
finely rendered hymn by quartette of male
voices.
In the afternoon Sunday School institute
was held. Rev. Smith Baker of Lowell,
Mass, spoke at length on the Sunday School
idea. The great good accomplished by the
Sunday School and the need of maintaining
it were earnestly presented.

on man in his three-fold attributes of body,
mind and soul were illustrated from the
wealth of well-stored mind. "This is real
ly the first Gospel said the speaker but
was utterly incomprehensible by antiquity.
The teachings of Christ made it comprehen-
sible and so we name it, not inappropriate

In the evening Prof. Yam Phow Lee Of
Canton, China, gave an extremely interest
ing sketch of his native land under the title
of Light and Darkness in the Middle King

Overloaded Picnic Wagons.

10 the Ed5t0r OF the Press.
Will you allow a stranger and sojourner word
in your columns, which, if it does no more, will at
least relieve the writer's mind? In your beautiful
city, where the visitor is impressed with sense
of refinement and enlightenment it seems to me
that there is one custom which savors of bar
barsm and that is the great overlooking of horses
in excursions to the Cape speak of the Cape
only because that is where | have seen it mostly.
Some of the long wagons used here so much, have
four horses which is as it should be, others have
two, which if they are large ones is not very bad
But have seen long wagons, notthe very longest,
packed with people and drawn by one small horse,
which was obliged to strain every muscle to move.
After looking on for some time, began to count
the people, land within a few days l have seen
three wagons with 13, II and 10 people respec-
lively only two OF three of them children, and in
the case OF the one with 49, every person was a
full grown man. Each of these wagons was
drawn by one small horse, and in one case it was
a very old thin, horse. Has Portland no
Societyfor the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals?
And if it has such a society," as | suppose can it,
and will it not do something to prevent this evil In
the future? A SUMMER VISITOR.
