SHOT DEAD
While Attempting to Escape from
a Penitentiary.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Sept. 27.-Two con-
victs confined in the Northern Penitentiary,
Frank Whiting and Charles Havens, both
from Indianapolis, former for 10 years for
burglary and the latter, for IA years for a
street car robbery, today make a third unsuc-
cessful attempt to escape They were en-
plOyed in the shoe shop on the third floor of
the building. Both wore ball and chain, but
managed to file these off and at $50 this
morning when the switch engine which had
been at work inside the walls started to pull
out through the gate the men suddenly broke
from the work benches, with knives and
hammers in hand and ran down stairs past
the second floor to the ground, reaching
there just as the engine came along. The
fireman was alone in the cab, Whiting
jumped in and seized the fireman by the
throat, threw him to one side while he pulled
the throttle wide open. Havens had crowd
ed into the cab in the meantime and the fire.
man jumped off. When the engine was
within ten feet of the gate and running at
rapid rate of speed the guard stationed on
the wall shot Whiting through the heart kill
ling him instantly. Havens clung to the en-
gine until well outside, when he jumped and
started for a corntield with guard close
upon him. sHis ankle was sprained in jumping
and finding himself unable to get away he
turned tiercely upon the guard and was shot
in the head, the bullet glancing around the
skull and only slightly stunning him and he
was locked up. The engine was caught by
yardman and stopped.

The prize competition by the Maine militia
will take place at Augusta, Tuesday and
Wednesday, Oct. 10th and Goth. 1t will be
under the supervision of Col. E. c. Earring
ton, and each company will be represented
by team of ten men and two substitutes
The matches will be very interesting from
the fact that they will include skirmish prac-
tice at imitation men, as specified in
the United States regulations, calculated to
bring the trial as near actual warfare as can
be done. Running targets of horses and
men will also be used. A continuous match
for individual prizes, open to all members of
the State militia, will be arranged, 10 last
through the competition, and the prizes
awarded to the leading scores The much

THE MYSTERIOUS FIRES IN HAIR
MoNY.
A., 4 Patrols in All sections.-Ho
Clue to the Affair.

HARMONY. Sept. 12.-There is perfect
reign of terror in Harmony. Five or six sets
of farm buildings were burned Saturday.
The people generally were out of doors,
watching the fires blazing in different direc-
tions, each one fearful that his house in some
mysterious way must go next. What makes
the matter more mysterious is that the fires
Saturday, though separated in some cases by
a distance of six or seven miles, all broke out
within two hours. A meeting was in prog
less Saturday forenoon to devise measures
for protection, and was broken up by the
alarm of fire in different directions. The Sc
lectmen have sent to Boston for detectives,
and are to send patrols into every school dis
trict, while every man will mount guard over
his own buildings at present
There are various theories in regard to the
matter. The general opinion is that it is the
work of crank. But how can he be in so
many and remote places within two or three
hours? No one has been seen prowling
around the buildings, except in one place.
Another theory is that it is caused by an
internal machine placed in the barns, timed
to 60 off in the day. Workmen at Mr.. Davis
say they heard slight explosion in the barn,
but thought nothing of it until few min
utes, when the barn was all on fire. All the
fires so far have taken in the barn. Ed.
Leighton found a card of matches placed in
his barn so that they might ignite the hay
and had the appearance of having been
scratched, but failed to burn. Men are arm
ing themselves, and posting in all directions
"a strange thing for peaceful community.
E-Mr Laughton, whose house was burned
Saturday, was within three rods of his house,
when it caught, with his man.
An unknown man was seen to leave the
place the night before. People from all the.
surrounding towns were here Saturday, try
ing to save burning property, and did save
E. Nutter's house.
Sunday barn was burned, with hay, one
colt, one hog and sheep. The citizens met
Sunday, to take measures for safety. There
is great excitement in the town, no man or
woman dares sleep or venture out of sight of
their buildings. Nearly every house has
their goods all packed. Saturday man was
seen to enter barn by woman. She at
once Informed the owner. He thought she
must have been mistaken about itas it was
in broad day light and neighbers near at
hand, but concluded to go out and see. On
entering the barn he discovered his hay NOW
on fire. Barn and hay was consumed but the
house was saved.

482 Congress street, announced that ne wOulu
give $4,000 worth of presents to MS patrons,
one-half during the spring months, the Dalance

on hand than he had anticipated. To answer the
thousand and one questions; to keep an accurate
register of the patrons names and numbers; 70
look over thousands of guess slips every month";
to ascertain who the lucky twenty-five were that
had guessed nearest; to notify them by man. and
award the prizes, required more time than Mr..
Clark could profitably spare. his increasing busi-
ness requiring all his time and energy. by en-
gagng an extra clerk he managed to get tnrougn
the first half of the year. The other $4,000
worth of presents originally intended for the fall
distribution will be disposed of in an other way,

poses to do the greatest amount of good to the
largest number of people. His plan is this: For
two days. the dates to be annouced later, he viii
sell any or all of the goods intended for presents
at the wholesale cost price. They consist OF
watches, iewery and silver plated ware, OF stand
ard manufacture, and will be on exhibition at his
store 482 Congress street, prior to the sale. All
goods remaining at the close OF the second day
will be disposed of at auction the day following.

distributed as follows: 5000 will be given to
committee as a fresh air fund. and next summer

O'Clock this afternoon, lasting about two
seconds, and accompanied by loud rum
