The KnightviIIe Fire.

The fire which destroyed Mr.. McCann's
residence yesterday morning, as briefly men
toned in the PRESS, was thought to have
been put out once by means Of force pump
which Mr.. Mccain had in the house. Later
a noise was heard like falling rain, but it
was the cracking of the flames. Before they
could be extinguished they had got beyond
control, and the family of wife and nine
children had to escape from the burning
dwelling in their night-clothes. A table was
all of the furniture saved, and the poultry
was destroyed. Mr. Mccain is very in
dustrious man and much respected by all,and
will have great sympathy in his loss. His
property was worth $4,000, and he had $500
insurance with Messrs. Sparrow, Dow q
Munger

of Mr.. Daniel Could who lives on India
street, was attacked by a large dog while
going home from school last Wednesday
afternoon and bitten in the. hand. The boy
went home, but the bite did not Immediately
prove serious enough to confne him to the
house. He went out and within an hour
from the time he was first bitten second
dog bit him in the calf of the leg, making a
severe wound. The unfortunate boy was
carried to a physician, by whom the wounds
were cauterized. He is now suffering from
nervousness, and the hand which was bitten
is very sore. Mr.. Gould knows to whom the
dogs belong and the police have been mott
fed of the affair. 1t is reported that boy
on Portland street was bitten by dog on
the same afternoon.

The TabuIator and Ex-Mayor Walker

Yesterday a reporter for the PRESS called
on Collector Chase and asked him if he had
any reply to make to ex-Mayor Walkers let
ter published in yesterdays issue.
Collector Chase said he and Mr.. Walker
were excellent friends. He did not see why
if Mr.. Walker had any complaint to make
he did not call and see him, instead of rush
ing into print. He (the Collector had not
read Mr.. Walkers article carefully, but he had
the copy of the PRESS in which it appeared.
'Itis fact, said the Collector, ''that when
those returns were tabulated at Augusta,
Hon. A. A. Strout came to the capital with
an amended Portland return which he
wished substituted for the original return.
Legal advice was taken on the matter and
Mr.. Walker, being the mayor of the city at
the time, and it being the return from his
city, and he therefore being the best judge of
the matter, and arguing that the substitu-
tion couldn't be made, and the Two Demo-
cratic aldermen urging that the substitution
should not be made, their opinion, especially
Mayor Walkers, rendered the decision final
against the substitution. Other legal talent
took the same view of the matter, but Mayor
Walkers advice settled the question.
''How about that letter, Captain Chase"
said the reporter; 'has Mayor Walker pub
lished the whole of ?'
"As said, haven't read it carefully
said the Collector, "but am not giving out
letters to print at present. l may do so
eventually, but Mr.. Walker and / are good
friends, and if he chooses to rush into print
as before stated, or to run for this office, l
don't know as there is any law to prevent
him. I think, however, the Argus files of
about 1880, say in August of that year, when
Mr.. Fogg addressed a meeting in City Hall
defending the count-out, will contain good
deal of Mayor Walkers letter. But want
you to bear in mind that Mayor Walker and
are good friends and he has a perfect
right to take his own course
An investigation of the files of the Argus
showed that on August 23d, $780, Frank NJ
Fogg in his speech in City Hall, quoted
from Mr.. Walkers letter and the language
there used is precisely the same as quoted
by Mr.. Walker in yesterdays PRESS.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
YouNG MRS. WINTHROP.

YOUNG MRS. WINTHROP.
Bronson Towards play of young Mrs.
Winthrop" produced here last season by
the Madison Square Theatre Company, and
again by the same management last night, is
a story of every day life, which has proven
a great popular success 1t strikes at one of
the most fragrant weaknesses of American
social life. The criticism has been made,
and with force, that there is nothing more
common or provocative of misery and mis-
understanding than the inclination of Amer
lean business men to neglect their families
and put their hearts into gold cotton and
stocks; that ''love is spring-time, business
makes up for the other seasons" Being an
essentially home play, therefore, young
Mrs. Winthrop" appeals at once to the mass
of theatre-goers. The dialogue is bright
and fresh, the action is simple and sustained.
The comedy IS never coarse, but refined and
the old lawyer, are the two strong charac-
tiers of the play, but there is also scope for
the display of abilities in the parts of the
Winthrops and the other roles.
10 fifty present such a play, or rather to
give its points the greatest force the best of
talent is required. 1t takes an Agnes Booth
to properly play Mrs. Chetwynd, and LIE
Moyne to bring out the old lawyer. The ae-
tors last night dealt fairly, however, by Mr..
Towards characters, Miss Eta Hawkins
being very natural and pathetic as blind
Edith. Miss Emily Maynard created much
amusement as Mrs. Dick Chetwynd, Miss
Bessie Cameron was pleasing Constance,
Mr.. De Mile very good Buxton Scott, and
the other roles were acceptable. The play
will be repeated tonight
LIZZIE EVANS.
Many of our readers will remember elev-
er little girl, who four years ago appeared in
Portland, playing with great vim and spirit,
"Clip," in McAuley's Messenger from JAR
Wis Section" That was Miss Lizzie Evans,
then in her first season on the stage. She
was bright and yivacious, and Mr.. .McAuley
himself considered her the best 'Clip'' he
ever had. Her success in this part was
marked, and led to her present management
putting her forth as star. She is now in
her third stellar season, and has appeared
in all the large cities of the country, includ-
ing several engagements in New York. Her
progress is said to have been wonderfully
rapid. Miss Evans is now making her first
tour through New England, playing "Fogg's
Ferry" and ''Florette." She will appear at
next week. Mr.. w. t. Duffy, her agent, is
at the States.

Benefit for tho Aged Mems Home.

1t is to be hoped that all of our citizens
will bear in mind that the annual benefit for
the Aged Mems Home will take place at
City Hall, Thursday evening, the 18th inst,
and it will probably be one of the most bril-
liant affairs of the season. Mr.. Atkinson,
one of our most popular furniture dealers,
has kindly taken upon himself the draping
and furnishing of suitable drawing rooms
for the use of those who don't care to par
tcipate in dancing, affording them an oppor-
tunity for social games or other amusements.
Music will be furnished by Chambers Or
chestra, and an order of sixteen dances will
be prepared. The Ladies Union will have
charge of the refreshment hall, which is a
sufficient guarantee of the excellence of that

Large cargoes.

The schooner John K. Souther, Captain
Balano, arrived at this port from Matanzas,
yesterday morning, after very rapid pas
sage of fourteen days. She brought 1921
hhds. and II tierces of molasses first
cargo of the crop of 1SS6-to George S. Hunt
& Co. The duty was $7,176.72.
The bark Ada P. Gould, Captain Henrahen
from Pernambuco, last September, arrived
yesterday, bringing 96S9 bags making 1885,
600 lbs. of sugar, Barring Brothers of England
being the consignors. The duties at this
port amounted to $35,360; an average rate of
duty. This cargo also goes to George S.
Hunt 81 Co.
The Norena, Captain Chase, which sailed
from Matanzas, same day as the Souther,
was signalled at 100 p, m. yesterday. She
brought $3.50 bags, making 1,155,000 pounds
of sugar, on which the duty was 1923, 100. The
Norena is still another vessel consigned to
George S. Hunt & Co. The total amount of
duties paid by these three cargoes in one
day, at the Portland Custom House, it will
be seen, was $65, 636.72.
The Norena and Souther had keen race
hither from Matanzas. They left that har-
Dor side by side, and the latter beat the
former about two hours. The Norena dam
aged her sails somewhat and broke the tres
tie tree of the main top-mast. The top
mast had to be taken down on arrival here.
