MYsrERIousLY DIsAPpEARED.
Cash Estimated at from 81, 400 to
$4,000 or $4,000 also Missing.
From The Sanford {Fla.l ArnIs.

From the Sanford tFld.l Argus.
The sensation of the week has been the
disappearance of D. j. Cameron, one of
the partners in the firm of Hiestand &
Cameron, lessees and operators of the
saw mill on st. Gertrude avenue, west of
French avenue. An Argus reporter
made several calls yesterday on persons
directly and indirectly interested in the
mill, but could learn very little as to the
fugitive's shortness. But he learned
enough to give the Argus readers q gen.
eral idea OF the mans crookedness and
the scientific, sleight-Of-hand manner in
which he has been fleeing his unsus-
pecting partner, the Florida Land and
Colonization Company, and other cred
itors.
D. j. Cameron became associated with
the mill In the capacity of bookkeeper and
general trust man" in June, 1884, and
was considered honest and straightfor-
ward by all with whom he had any deal
ings. He had sole charge of all the books,
the cash and the payment of the hands.
At this time the mill was being run by
Messrs. Hardee & Hiestand. Mr.. Hardee
soon began to suspect'that Mr.. Cameron
chad fingers of a substance likened unto
shoemaker's wax" and so concluded to
sell out. This he did in February last,
Mr.. Cameron purchasing his interest.

grabbed two gold watches which were
lying on the counter, jumped for the door,
and before any Of the persons who saw
could interfere disappeared with them
into tine darkness and made good his es-

The Cedar Kew precinct election of dele
gates to the County Convention, at bron-
son July 10. was the most exciting helu
there for some time. The delegates Sc
lected are for Mallory, but they are unin-
structed. The Davidson faction boited
the convention and. it is said, held an
other meeting. The Mallory men had
majority of about 80.
The Sanford journal, which was closed
tor debt some two weeks ago, is again on
its feet and pursuing the even tenor of its
way. The amount for which 1t was be-
Ing pressed was about $4,000. Some OF
the prominent citizens of the town, ap-
preciating the many good qualities of the
Journal, relieved the embarrassment,
which enabled the paper to continue.

Prom the Rome Ca CoHrfer.
Last night about 10 O'Clock a young
man of this city passed the New Rome
Hotel, and some one who was sitting in
front heard a sob, and inquired: ''Hello.

THE TYPE-wRTTESR
Introduced ia the Western Union
Telegraph Office.
From "a Netc Orleans PicnunnA.

From Tie Netc Orleans Pic1gune
Mr.. Tharpe Westerfeld, one of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, in
this city, who has become proficient in the
use of the Remington typewriter, has
adapted his skill to the uses OF the tee-
graph. Instead of taking copy in the or
binary manner, with pen or pencil, Mr.,
Westertield now uses the typewriter, and
the result Is clean, clear and perfectly le-
gible copy.
AS he has not yet acquired great speed,
Mr.. Westerfeld can only receive about
twenty words a minute, or about oue-half
as fast as other frst-class men receive
with pen and ink, but he expects to equal
if not exceed them in the course of few
months.
Writing with the typewriter has the
advantage over the pen and pencil in the
fact that it is not as tiresOme, is more
rapid and the copy is much palmer than
even the best Spencerian hand could write
it and not so liable TO errors.
The method is not new, as type-writers
are used in receiving kilograms in all the
principal cities Of the North and West.
of the method over the old style OF re-
ceiying messages, Press dispatches are
now received in Chicago, st. Louis,
New York, Boston, etc, by type-writers,
and the same method is in use In the
Western Union Office at Montgomery,
Ala.
The first telegram received in New Or
leans by the Typewriter was the sermon
OF sam Small last Saturday night, and the
operator was satisfied with the success of
his efforts.
Messages are taken direct from the In
struments by this method, and in short
time every first-class operator will be
using type-writers.

An UnSaYOry Cat.
Fron. "a AiapaAa a.. } Star.

from the Il tdDdhd CG0.) Star.
Sunday night last Mr.. ID. a. FulwOo dps
chicken house was invaded by pole cat,
and a mother-hen, one that had had q
long and varied experience in rearing
chickens for spring eating, was the first TO
receive the warm salutation of the visitor.
This old hen is tastidiOus in her tastes,
and it is well-knOwn fact that she will
not drink water in which there is a dead
fly, or eat ''yuth Wu'm" unless it shows
surface indications of having washed its
face recently. 1t can be imagined, then,
how this hen felt when the p0lecat step
ped right up to where she was lowering a
drove of pretty little biddies and rubbed
against her! Did the hen grasp her nose
and order the intruder out of her hOuse?
No! she forgot her brood, forget her duty
as a mother, forgot the scarcity of frying
size chickens, forgot everything but the
impending danger TO her weak nerves,
and went calahOOtIng out Of the door.
What does calahootlng mean? Why, it
is new word for ''getn' ''skeedaddleV
"LumVyourself!'' ''vamooze the ranche!"
"1yW "pack sand" pull your freight"
etc.
The old hen calahooted until she reached
the well on the opposite side of the yard
and jumped in without moments hesita-
ton. The pOlecat killed several chickens
and sucked number of eggs, and then es-
capped. The old hen was rescued and re-
turned to her diminished family.
Monday night the cat revisited the
chicken house, and again the old hen fed
to the well and jumped in. Mr.. G. w.
Fulwood and his brother Zeke were
aroused by the noise and, procuring a
gun, the cat was defuncttd. List of
casualties for two nights: Nine chickens
killed, eighteen eggs sucked, an old hen
twice In the well and a dead polecat. Sic
semper tyrannis!

from me CTbdndO + IA HecOFd.
One dav last week Capt. s. Cook whose
home is on Lake Idlewild, some two miles
southeast Of town, noticed, whilst sitting
on his veranda, turtle struggling IN the
water with something much larger than
itself. Being curious TO ascertain the
cause OF this, he quickly prepared him
sell and waded out sufficient distance
to find that it was large bass, which
evidently mad but recently expired.
The Captain was well pleased with
his prize, especially as it was a large
one. A portion Of the fish had been eaten
by the turtle before its occupation was
interrupted. but as it was, what was left
weighed fully ten pounds. Mr.. Marsh,
who lives east OF town some three miles,
reports witnessing similar sight some
time ago, which resulted in the securing
By him Of very fine fish. 1t would seem
that the turtles with which our lakes are
filed adopt the novel plan Of catching
large fish by their tails, drawing them TO
the bottom and holding them down until
they drown, when they are enabled to de-
your them at leisure.

Nathaniel p. Willis House,

Mr.. John T. Walton says the house of Willis
was on Essex street, now Franklin, near the
corner of Federal street, on the lot now
numbered 70, and occupied by the brick
house of j. Ahern. The place will be re-
membered by the old Portlanders as the
home for many years of Mrs. Belford.
While residing here, the Willises attended
the Second Parish church, and listened to
the preaching of Edward Payson. 1t was
for the mother of the celebrated preacher,
Grata Payson, that Fanny Fern was original
ly named. The name Grata was afterwards
changed to Sara. 1t has been the tradition
that N. P. Willis middle name was original
ly Payson, but that he had it changed to
Parker, but this is disproved by the records
in the Office of the city clerk, and it is also
rendered improbable by the fact that in
1906, when he was named, Payson had not
entered the ministry, though he was pre-
pared for it, while teaching in the Portland
Academy. At time when the infant Grata
was thought to be dying, Mr.. Payson, who
lived near by, on Middle street, was called
in to baptize her. The eastern corner of Lin
coin Park is very near the birthplace of N.
P. Willis and of Fanny Fern, and the sug-
gestion ismade that at this corner some en-
during record be made to point out to
strangers the spot where were born two
writer's who did so much to enrich American
literature

A Serious CHARGE.

Eben N. Perry and Joseph Williams of
Cape Elizabeth, detectives, have been official
ly notified to appear before Trial Justice
Robinson at Cape Elizabeth today to answer
to the charge of Mr.. Cooper of Knightville,
who alleges that Perry and Williams entered
into conspiracy to get him Cooper indict-
ed for poisoning Mr.. Weinburg's cows last
summer. 1t will be remembered that two of
Weinburg's cows were fatally poisoned by
eating potatoes that had been fixed with
Paris green and thrown into the pasture.
Detective Perry said he found potato fixed
with Paris green, like those discovered in
the pasture, in Cooper's stable; but the
grand jury failed to find an Indictment
against Cooper. Now Cooper alleges that
Perry placed the potato fixed with Paris
green in his (Cooper's) stable in order to get
Cooper indicted for poisoning Weinburg's

ANOTHER LIVELY BLAZE.
Fire In the Diamond Wrench Com
pany,s Building.

At about half past o'clock last evening
some boys saw the light of fire in the
second story of the Diamond Wrench Com
pany's building on Newbury street, and
shouted an alarm. The fire was seen at
about the same time by the compositors in
the PRESS office, who helped the boys along
in giving the alarm. Box No. 25 was pulled
in few moments, and the department were
right on hand, as prompt as ever.
The building is three story brick struc-
ture, next to the brick block on the corner
of Market and Newbury streets. 1t is sep
arated from this building by an alley, and
when the firemen reached the spot last
evening the flames were leaping from the
second story windows on the side of the
building adjoining the alley. Lines of hose
were laid into this alley, and few mo-
ments' work drove the fire inside the build
ing. 1t was evident, however, that the
flames had got considerable headway, and
second alarm was sent in. The firemen,
stationed on ladders, played upon the fire
through the windows Of the upper stories
until it yielded and allowed them to enter
the building. After getting inside the men
settled what there was left of the fire In
short order.
The building is occupied by the Diamond
Wrench Company, A. c. Libby, treasurer;
Job Sanford, manufacturer OF shoemakers'
pancake used in making the heels of boots;
and Geo. C. Frye, who had $25o0 worth of
pharmaceutical preparations stored in
room in the building.
The fire originated either in the putting up
room or the polishing room Of the Wrench
Company, in the second story. Mr.. Libby
stated that he knew of nothing which would
cause the fire. The building is heated by
steam and all the waste in the different
rooms was swept up every night. The COM
pany has an insurance of $4,000, $21, 800 in
the agency Of Morse & Pinkham and $25O0
in the agency Of John E. Dow. $4,000 of
the insurance is on the building, and the re-
mainder on the machinery and stock, which
are valued at $4,000. The building was
well wet down and considerably damaged by
fire. Mr.. Libby was unable to state the
damage to the machinery and stock, but
thought it would be heavy. The company
employs 80 hands, who will be thrown out of
employment for the present.
Mr.. Sanford had an insurance of $500 on
his stock in the agency of Morse & Pink
ham, and this will probably cover his loss.
Mr.. Frye's stock is thoroughly wet down,
and is insured for $1,000 in the agency of
Warren Sparrow.
