and Hon. W. L. Putnam and Hon. e. f.
Webb of Wateryille for the executors of the

claimed that Abner Coburn was of unsound
mind at the time of making his will; also
that the $4,000 willed to the Coburn Hall
Association was benefit to a witness to the

The Red Mems RIghts.

Governor Robie informed a PRESS reporter
yesterday that it was the Passamaquoddy
Indians who made the complaint before the
Governor and Council in regard to hunting
and fishing, and not the Penobscot Indians
as reported. Their complaint was written
and presented by Catholic priest. 1t sets
forth that the original treaty with Massachu-
setts gives them the right to fish and hunt in
any part of the State and at all seasons OF
the year. 1t claims that the State law in re-
gard to the protection of fish and game is so
executed upon them that their chief means
of support is made burdensome by fines.
They have sent an agent to Massachusetts,
who will call Gov. Robinson's attention to
these facts. These same Indians also COM
plain that one of the townships near Calais,
given them by the treaty, has been leased
contrary to the provisions, thus depriving
them of the use of their land. The charge OF
this matter has been given to Councilmen
Locke. Bixby and Sands, with directions to
carefully look into the treaty and the rights
granted by it, and report at an early date.

A FoREMAN's GOODNESS.
How a Terrible Calamity Was Pre-
vented in Cincinnati, Ohio.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 1.-The coolness and
heroism of John Beckley, the foreman Of a
gang of street workmen, probably saved
several lives yesterday. Eight or ten men,
under his direction, were repairing leakage
in 40-inch main, at the corner of Eighth
street and EggIeston avenue. They had dug
a hole about 20 feet square and 10 feet deep
in the middle of the street, and were quietly
at work this morning, when suddenly a
sound like an underground explosion was
heard from the east bank of the cavity, and
the earth of one side began to slip away
rapidly, and was followed by an overwhelm-
ing flood of water Jump for your lives,
boys" the foreman shouted; "Climb out or
drown The men began to scramble up,
but it was almost impossible, as the water
poured in like mill race, and the heavy
banks Of earth began crumbllng In. II
looked as though the men would be caught
and drowned like rats in a pit before help
could be given, when Beckley called to them
to climb up on his shoulders, and IN that
manner every man was saved. Beckley was
the last to be pulled out of the ditch, and
when he left it the water was up to his arm
| pits. Just as he was drawn out two OF the
| Sides of the hole caved in, carrying iseyera
! tons of earth into the place where the meI
had been struggling but a moment before

The Small .Pox Barricade the Scene
of Lively Scrimmage.

MONTREAL, jan 1.-At nearly midnight last
night mob of 500 or more infuriated and howl
ing French people assembled near the barricade,
which was guarded by the special police. The
latter were so heavily outnumbered that word was
sent to the city for reinforeements. Before aid
could arrive, however, the mob, with shouts and
imprecations, made furious charge on the barri-
cade sending it and the police flying out of sight.
Word that riot was In progress was despatched
to headquarters, and the city police force, fully
armed, was called out. The mob fell back before
their approach, and the officers found their batons
sufficient without having to resort to firearms
Having gained possession of the disputed territory
they now remain on guard at all the barrieades,
armed with revolvers and rifles.
Several of the special police were wounded by
stones and other missiles, and it is thought, that
the heads of many of the mob are more or less
damaged by the free use made OF the batonS OF the
city police.
deputation from st. Cunegonde has waited
upon the city authorities and an agreement has
been arrived at by which the city is to withdraw
the force from the barricades until Monday, and
the St. Cunegonde officials on their part are to
comply with the health regulations.

COMPARATIVE SUMMARY.
The Portland daily press., 1886-01-02

A few years ago there lived in Atlanta
three persons who in early life stood in the
presence of the first Napoleon. One saw the
great conqueror after Waterloo, when he was
prisoner ON a British vessel. Another saw
him in Paris during his imperial reign. The
third did not see him at ALL He was a Prus-
sian, and when the French entered Berlin in
triumph his father held him up IN his arms
to look at the victor at the head of his troops
With an obstinate prejudice the child shut
his eyes to avoid seeing his conntry's enemy.
OF these three old people two boosted to
their dying day that they had seen Napole-
on, and the third boasted with equal
that he had not seen him.
