Gone Again.

Mr.. A. NJ. SAWYER agent for the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
has received a telephone dispatch from Mr..
Guy from Waterville saying that his wife,
children and Mr.. Allen had left that town
for parts unknown. Mr.. Sawyer says Guy
not GRAY as reported to Portland
some time ago, with a letter to him from the
secretary of the society at Halifax, N. S.,
where Guy had been employed by steam
ship company. The secretary wrote that
Guy had no means, and that he was unable
to pay for any services toiobtain his children.
Mr.. Sawyer then asked the man if he had
any means of supporting the children if he
found them. He admitted he had not Saw
yer then told him he should not tell him
where the children were as they were well
taken care of, were bearing his name, not
Aliens, and going to school. Sawyer further
told him he had no right to turn the children
into paupers for this community to support.
Guy seemed impressed with Mr. Sawyer
statement. He is possessed apparently OF
considerable intelligence. has fair educa-
ton, and writes a good hand. A few days
AFTER on Monday last Guycame to Sawyer
and said he had letter from Bishop Healy
to one of the clergy of Augusta, and that
the church would take care of the children
if lie found them. Sawyer warned Guy that
if he, a stranger, should attempt to seize the
children from their mother, in a strange
town, with no proofs that he was their
father, with no power to summon witnesses
from foreign country to prove his claim, he
would be likely to be hauled up for kidnap-
ping if the mother denied his relationship to
her On Tuesday Guy went to Augusta and
yesterday telephoned to Sawyer as stated

The Soldiers Monument.

At the annual meeting of the Portland Sol
diers and Sailors Monument Association to
be held at Reception Hall next Monday eve
ming the principal business will be to select
site for the proposed statue Until a site
is selected the design cannot be agreed upon.
The executive committee were requested to
secureipermission to place the statue in Mar
ket Square. At the hearing before the city
government there was considerable opposi-
ton to the project. 1t is now for the associ-
alton to decide what further steps to take
There is $751; 600 on hand, and the interest
will make the $4,000 required befor the stat
ue is erected.
The association does not ask for gift, but
simply for permission to place creditable
monument upon the city's land and to give
the monument to the city. 1t is believed
that much of the opposition grows out of a
mistaken impression of the character of the
monument 1t will be no mere statue on
a pedestal, but structure worthy of the pro-
posed site-large enough to occupy the
square impressively. 1t is known that many
of the opponents of theiplan, being now better
informed, have changed their minds and are
no longer opponents. 1t is probable that the
association will think that the time has come
for some positive action.
With money enough already raised to be-
gin the work, too long delayed, some suitable
site ought to be selected forthwith. If all
those who desire to see the work go forward,
attend the meeting, as they should, it will be
something like general assembly of the cit
liens of Portland.

SACO, Jan. Z.
Crowds gather on the bridge every day
and discuss the prospects of getting the body
of the Leavitt boy who was drowned last
Saturday. The diver has been down search
ing the bottom every day but one, but meets
with poor success. Owing to the water
being so muddy, he is not able to see any
thing and has to feel with his hands and
feet, being guided by those in the boat above
him.
Every one thought the offer of $500 that
was made by Mrs Leayitt would bring a
great many out to search and drag for the
body, but the number is no larger than on
the day Of the drowning A few have
searched from dawn until dusk every day
since Saturday. They are class of young
men who live on and about the river-rough,
rude boys on the exterior, but boys who
would drag the river all winter if no more
than 500 had been offered if they found the
body. / have been with them on the wharf
as they were just starting out or coming in,
and not once have | heard them mention re-
ward but they have all been greatly disap-
pointed at not being able to find the body for
the poor mother.
Today clarvoyant from Biddeford was
consulted and went out on the river to where
the diver was at work. She gave as her
opinion, after talking it over with her spirit,
that the body was somewhere between where
it sunk and the mouth of the river, and
would rise in nine days and float away.
Truly a wise saying and worthy clair
voyant
At late hour this afternoon it was re-
ported that the body had been found, but
the PRESS correspondent was not able to get
the report verified.

rhe Old. Old Story.

Yesterday afternoon, some time before the
sailing Of the Polynesian, one of the steer
age passengers, young man, was accosted
by a man who claimed to be fellow passen-
ger. The guileless steerage passenger readily
agreed to show the man the way to the ex-
press Office to get some baggage. On the
way the pair were met by a third party, who
told the steerage passengers companion that
there was charge of $35 on the baggage.
1t was the old game The steerage passenger
readily lent $35 to his companion to get the
baggage and took as security check worth
nothing and a watch worth about one dollar,
He left on the steamer without seeing his
money and without seeing again the fellow
passenger who couldn't pay for his baggage
because he had left his money on board the
ship. This is the third or fourth time the
same game has been played in this city with
in six or seven months.
