caused Bertrand to be arrested on various
charges. Mrs. Zeitz, in all instance. became
surety for Bertrand, till her liability on that
score became $4,000. Today Mrs. Zeitz
became convinced that Bertrand meant to
decamp and leave her to pay his bonds. She
set out with an officer to e ind her counsel had
him arrested and at the sheriff's office sur
rendered him up. Late in the afternoon, an
officer with Bertrand in custody, started for

MAINE RIFLE NJ EN
Report OF the Inspector General of the
NilItia.

PORTLAND, Jan. Is.
In his annual report for 1885. Col. E. C.
Harrington, inspector of rifle practice of the
Maine Volunteer Militia, will recommend
several new modes of performance. He will
favor the establishment of one or two state
ranges wherever the militia can be conve-
niantly brought together for practice. These
would be additional to the ranges now used
by the companies, which are temporary af.
fairs, and would serve to accommodate com,
panies having no regular ranges. Col. Far.
rington regards armory practice as essential
for the exercise Of the large number of en-
listed men whose occupations are such tha,
they are unable to find time for out of door
training; also as a means Of practice for men
already proficient in Workmanship.
The State will be asked to furnish cart
ridges and bullets to such companies a. will
furnish the requisite facilities for the pro-
posed armory work. He will urge the send.
ing of a team to Creedmoor. The militia
now has a good reputation for Workmanship
and the State should do its part in supporting
the annual competition of the National
Guard. By the sending of a team to Creed
moor the men could gain much information
not obtanable elsewhere. Twenty-six sharp
shooters and twenty eight marksmen quail
flied the past year many OF the best shots and
did not comply with the new conditions of
practice, ard hence have not qualified within
the rules. The badges are how being made
and will be sent to the winners in few days
Col. Harrington will publish the returns of
the Frontier Guards in full, the object be-
ing to show what can be done by systematic
effort.

BANGOR, Jan. Is.
When the family of Mr.: Benz Cookson Of
Greenbush, consisting of himself, his wife,
two children and his father, the lxtter aged
so years, we're sleeping sourdy at midnight,
Saturday, in the upper part of the house, fire
broke out in the lower part presumably from
the stove and soon the house was in blaze.
The younger Mr.. Cookson first awoke and
started 10 go down stairs but had no sooner
made the first step than the stair case, which
had been greatly weakened by the flames,
fell with a crash, precipitating him through
the front door below and out into the road
way
Although badly injured by the fall Mr..
Cookson Immediately rushed Rack to the res
cue of the other inmates of the house, calling
to his wife to DROP the children from win
dow. She dropped one out and then ran
for the other. The flames had by this time
wrapped the entire house and it was an ap-
palling sight for the burned and bruised hus-
band to witness his wife reappear at the win
his aged father, the group standing in frame
work Of fire and their clothing all ablaze.
The wife seemed paralyzed with fear and
the old maa gave her a push that sent her
and her child off the flaming building to the
ground.
just then the floor gave way and the poor
old man tell back into the seething mass Of
Goals below. He was burned to a crisp there
before his sons eyes. The wife will proba-
bly, die of her injuries and burns The chill
dren are not seriously injured and but little
burned, and their father will soon recover
from the hurt. The house was totally de-
stroyed. This, in brief, is the story of one
of the most shocking fatalities recorded OF
late in this state.

Proceeding, in the Portland Ferry Case.

pier appealed from the decision of the county
commissioners denying the way, and the case
is entered at the present term of the S. J..
court. Judge Goddard appeared for several
remonstrants Monday morning, in Portland,
and filed a motion 10 dismiss the appeal, on
the gronnd that no appeal lies. Goddard
claimed that the act of 1873 gave the COM
missioners special power and to them alone,
and their decision is final
The other side argued that as the commits
sioners had no power to lay out a highway in-
to tide waters without the consent of the
Legislature, the scope of the act was TO au-
thorze the laying out of public highway, in
the same manner as IN the case of others high

Since it is now certain, they say,
that the canal company will obtain
the proceeds of the six hundred mil

sorts. Money is bound to be plen-

prosper and be happy. We shall
see.
Meanwhile there is no denying
that Colon, in fact the whole 18TH

partly ascribed to the weather; for
