DEERING.
Two Deering High School lads on Friday

placing an explosive cartridge on a ledge and
pelting it with rocks. They finally succeeded

sACCARAPPA.
A car loaded with coal, some fifteen tons,
for the Westbrook Manufacturing Company,
broke through the railroad bridge above the
dam yesterday morning Mr.. j. W. Hesel-
toms team was hauling the car across the
bridge. The dryer was by the side OF the
horses when the bridge began to settle.
Fortunately the hook in the draft chain was
over the pin, instead of between the links, as
it is usually secured, and slipped off, thereby
giving the horses freedom to clear them
selves. Mr.. Heselton was at the rear OF the
car and escaped without injury. Some Is
feet or more of the bridge was broken down
and the car turned into the river upside
down, the wheels just above the surface of
the water. The bridge is supported by posts
and iron cross rods The foundation work
had been operated upon by the ice and
weakened. Superintendent Peters of the
Portland & Rochester Railroad Company
came up on the 10 o'clock train and looked
the situation over The railroad company
will put ON force and raise the car. 1t will
be necessary to draw off the water from the
pond in order to accomplish it. Some two
years ago part of the same bridge gave
way and number of loaded cars were over
turned into the river.

ARREST OF CAPT. BARToL.
He Tells HIS Side of the Story.

Officer Skillings arrested Capt VIM. a.
Bartol for alleged cruelty to his wife, on
board his schooner off Chebeague Island, at
10 o'clock Thursday night. He first went to
Mrs Wallace's on Long Island, and was told
by her that the Captain was not there. Yes
terday morning he brought Bartol to the city
and the Captain was locked up to await ex-
animation in the Municipal Court this morn
ing. Mr.. Larrabee will appear as counsel
for the Captain.
In conversation with Capt. Bartol yester-
day morning, the Captain denied to report
err for the PRESS that he had ever treated
his wife cruelty, and said further that as far
as was in his power he had provided her with
all her needs. OF course, he said, he was a
poor fisherman, and he could not provide
Injuries. His wife, he said, was a very jeal-
GUS person, and went away to the country
some time ago. Before she came back, some
friends told him she said she was going to
''give him hi" and she did when she got
back, for fanciful wrongs. He said the only
time the Wallace woman had been on his yes
sci was when he carried her, with her hus-
band,-before her husbands death, and
woman friend of hers from Portland to the
island The whole trouble, he said, was
caused by meddlesome people on the island,
and grew out of the fact that Mrs. Wallace
gave him the money to buy barrel OF nour
for her in Portland, which he bought her Oh
Sargent, Lord & Skillings, and when ne had
brought it to the island his brother and nm
self rolled it from the vessel to Mrs. wal
lace's house. He said he bought, only
few days ago, -four and other necessaries for
his wife and boots for their boy, but he had
i'll luck with fishing previous to the time he
bought the articles, and would not run in
debt. His wife had not been beaten by him,
and furthermore if the reporter could see
her, would find she was about, apparently all
right and that only the evening of his arrest
he spent at the house with her, when there
was a young man present who heard and
saw everything that transpired, and that his
wife was pleasant with him, and brought
him q handkerchief which he wanted

sympathetic interest eyinced by carload OF
passengers on the Spring street line, in the
remark of one of their number that promi-
ed in the ferry landing matter, had walked
off the enc of Portland PIER And it was,
Il possible, even more amusing to observe
now the expressions of kindly interest sud
denly faded away like the glow of chill
the mind of each iriividuaI passenger afore-
said, that the exact date upon Which their
kindly sympathies had been excited was no
other than April 1st
