three days illness with pneumonia Mr..
Murch has driven bake cart here for a
quarter OF century, and during that time
has been widely known as a sincere Christ
ian and an active supporter of every worthy
religious and reformatory movement His
religion was never left at home or put out of
sight and many people will recall awaking
early in the morning and listening to Mr..
Murch as he drove to his work singing some
sacred piece.
Mr.. Murch was a member of the Advent
church and was identified with the work of
the Gospel Mission and the sail loft meetings
He lent his support to the Salvation Army
and every good work was sure of his sympa-
thy The different religious bodies with
which he was connected took appropriate no.
tice of his death yesterday Among the

IN the best manner and was to them sin
cere friend and helper.
Mr.. Murch was born in White Rock, fifty
one years ago. He came here twenty-five
years ago and for time was in the bakery
business for himself, and afterwards with
Irving Blake. Lately he has driven for him
self. He leaves wife and one daughter.

MAINE SAVINGS BANKS.
First Semi annual Statement of
Their Condition in 885.

The first semi-annual examination for 1885
made of the Maine savings banks by Hon.
F. E. Richards of Camden, bank examiner,
is completed. From his report the following
facts of interest are cleaned:
The number of savings banks doing business in
this State is the same as last year, viz, 54
BY an act OF the Legislature, at its last session,
the name of the West Wateryille Savings Bank
was changed to cascade Savings Bank Of Oak
land.'
The amount of deposits in the savings banks on
the first day of last November was S32, 81 $780,
16, and on the first day OF May the present year,
$50, 996, 1924, the increase during the six
months being 81 .O82, 347. So. This is the largest
increase made in any half year since the law re-
quiring semi-annual examinations has been in
operation and is probably the largest ever made
since the system OF savings banks has been estab
lished in Maine.
The aggregate of the reserved fund.- is now
since November Ist 1881, and increased during
the full year ending May 1st 1885, $71, 1892 80.
The result of the first semi-annua examinations
in 1884 showed that the % savings banks had
assets in excess of actual liabilities aggregating
$4, 030,4 14.79. The first examinations of the
present year show that this surplus has increased
to 81 099 746.96, which growth is practically the
same amount that has been added to the PRESERVED
fund.- during the year.
which the interest has been defaulted the par
value lOf which amounts to $461 300 Included
among these are SIP 900 OF the City OF Evans
vile, Indiana redemption bonds, and $150,000
of the first mortgage bonds of the Portland &
Ogdensburg railroad.
The savings banks are in a prosperous condi-
ton. The trustees generally manifest great in
terest in their welfare, and it is noticeable fact
that wherever you find savings bank with an
actively interested board of trustees, who look
closely after the loans and investments, you are
sure to find thrifty, growing institution.
The dividends are necessarily small, but deposit
and absolute safety than they would be with
larger income and greater risk OF losing their
hard earned savings.
The state will receive a much larger revenue
from tax on the deposits this year than ever
before

A Big Story Denied.

The Sunday Times yesterday said that Sat
urday afternoon Mrs. James H. MCMILLAN,
who lives on High street in this city, while
going to her cottage at Ferry Beach, Old Or
chard, over the Boston & Maine Railroad,
was robbed of hand Satchel containing her
diamonds and some government bonds-in
all to the value of some $4,000. Mrs. Nc
Mullan's husband is the agent of the Saco
Water Power Company. The lady has nc
knowledge of the thief or the exact time the
property was stolen.
This story is denied by an Associated
Press despatch, which says there is no foun-
dation for the story. AS the story appeared
in other papers, and apparently as an AS
ISOLATED Press despatch, the denial would APP
pear conclusive.

Greenwood Garden.

A steam engine made of glass and working
like any ordinary engine made of steel and
iron will be among the attractions at Green
wood Garden this week. The engine is built
on the pattern of Corliss upright beam en-
CINE and is three feet in height with fly
wheels eighteen inches in diameter. The
cylinder and steam chest are of glass, allow
ing the action of the steam to be SEEN No
metal is used about the engine except for pis-
ton and piston rod, and the whole thing is
great credit to the glass blowers by whom it
was made. 1t should be seen by all interest
ed in mechanics. The boys will learn more
by watching it than by studying about en-
gines for month and the children will be
delighted with it,

connection with the garden, arrived here

day. She is fast and good looking and is
likely to become exceedingly popular with

A Startling Experience.

Mr.. Homer A. Norris, formerly of this
city, and organist of Free Street Church, had
quite an adventure on Lake Auburn during
the thunder storm of Thursday The Lew
iston journal says:
"a party Of six consisting of Mr. Norris, Mrs.
Joseph Stetson, Miss Ida Cummings Mr.. Charles
Hartley and Masters Eddie and Johnny Stetson
were oyertaken by the storm in trying to row from
Harlows point-where the gentlemen of the party
are camping-to Lake Grove. They were about
half way between Bug Island and the Grove when
the sweep of the storm coming sideways across
the lake struck the boat. Members of the party
say that as the bank of storm pressed down to-
wards them it was the most fearful sight they ever
saw: 1t came, an immense block of rain with
terrific force, striking the boat sideways, which
was thrown upon some rocks, knocking hole
through the bottom. Mr.. Norris Jumped to the
rocks, took Mrs Stetson and bore her to the shore
and then returned and rescued Miss Cummings
Inc ladies went under some trees and remained
there through the whole of the tornado. The gem
tlemen did their best to save the boat but the
waves beat them back with their fury every time.
Gentlemen from Mt. Gle, who were watching the
boat with glasses saw it when it struck and, not
being able to see it again through the bank of
storm, reported them drowned. All sorts of
stories were af1oat, but although none were
drowned 1t was very narrow escape, Had they
been twenty-five feet further from land nothing
could have saved them"

The Two Crews Practicing for Next

All the members of the Brown University

work on Lake Quinsigamond. Not a mem
Der of the college regatta committee is a rep
resentative of either Bowdoin or Brown, and
that committee took no action regarding the
race of next Thursday before leaving here !;
SO that it is probable that all the prelimina-
ries will have to be arranged by the contest
ing crews. 1t is already considered as set
tied that the race will be an interesting one,
possibly more interesting than the one Of
July 4th. The Brown crew is growing in
favor with each appearance on the lake, and
one of the members of the Bowdoin crew,
while admitting that they got their boat
through the water very rapidly, added; 1--WE
may find that they get it along much faster
than we want them to- Three, and proba-
bly, four, local crews will compete for prize
of 800 offered by H. H. Bigelow for four
Dared boats, the race to precede the college
race, which is set for O'clock.

Accidents,

Nellie Bradford, aged six years, "a daughter
of Mr.. Frank W. Bradford on Quebec street,
had been sent Saturday to tend sick horse
of Mr.. Bradford's pastured near by, and it is
thought, as she was picking buttercups the
animal accidentally kicked her in the head
The left ear was split open, and a wound of
a serious nature inflicted.
A countryman's horse attached to wagon
ran away on Congress street Saturday See
ing the wide entrance to the basement of Old
City Hall, the animal went for it. One of
the doors was closed and the wagon caught,
bringing the horse up suddenly, but without
injuring him. The harness was demolished,
and the wagon somewhat damaged.
A hand on the Gordon was badly cut over
the head by pail tossed from the wharf and
it required several stitches to sew up the
wound.

Slight Fire.

Last night, at about half past nine, Mrs
John Ohmsen, whose husband keeps gro
Gerry store in the old Printers Exchange,
went behind the counter with lamp and ac-
cidentally set fire to cloth screen. In en-
deavoring to extinguish the flames, Mrs.
Ohmsen threw a burning piece of cloth on a
barrel filled with kerosene, and it looked as
though big fire would ensue. Prompt work
by officers Skillings Firth, Greeley and Mas
sure, however, extinguished the fire before
any great damage was done, and probably
saved the building. This is case when the
police were around at just the time they
were wanted.
