ures, that property purchased by the city
from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
at cost Of over $4,000, would not bring in
the open open market $4,000 and that the
same property Is assessed in the tax books at
S177,740. Mr.. Bankard also states in his
charges to the Council that "to meet this ex-

James Sloan. gave the notes Of the city, one

There are two facts to be especially noted
in connection with the money borrowed by
the city from the two banks already men
toned One Is that at the very time when
the mayor was asserting that the city could
borrow all the money IL wanted at 81 per cent
two notes were negotiated at per cent, with
interest payable in advance. The other fact
Is that, at the date Of the notes, the city had

RaIdIne summer COTTAGES.

Summer cottages, while shut up in the
winter season, are particularly liable to be
raided by thieves, but some facts came to our
knowledge yesterday which shows that they
are exposed to another danger-the danger
of having the furniture and bedding in them
borrowed without the consent of the owner.
Mrs. Z. w. Hutchinson, of Cape Elizabeth.
owns cottage on Wesley avenue on the Old
Orchard camp ground. One day last June a
man drove up to it with load of furniture,
bedding and other household goods, and pro-
ceeded to unload it and carry it into the
house. The proceeding was witnessed by
several people, but they paid no special at
tention to it, as they supposed that the
owner was preparing to move in. 1t appears.
however, that such was not the case, and
that the furniture belonged in the house and
had been removed, presumably late in the
fall, by some person who had no right to en-
ter the house and no authority to take any
thing out of it. The borrowed articles had
been used apparently all winter. Mrs. Hutch
inson says she gave no permission to any
body to remove it. Il would seem that such
an act as this was plain violation of the
criminal laws. and exposed the person who
committed it to criminal prosecution. The
fact that the furniture was eventually
brought back does not relieve 1t Of its GRIM
inal aspect Whether the matter has been
brought to the attention of the authorities
we do not know, but 1t certainly aught to be.
There would be no great difficulty in discoy-
ering who the parties were.

The RIcycIists.

The great feature Of the coming bicycle
meet will be the series Of exciting bicycle
races at the Fairfield Trotting Park in which
thereis already good list Of entries In every
event, and a large number Of additional en-
tries are yet anticipated. Friends of the
wheel in this state well know what boom
bicycle racing in Maine has had this year.
Two or three very fast men have appeared
in the wheel racing arena this season. the
bicycle championship Of Maine has been
won by Ames, Of Lewiston, in two very ex-
citing races with Patten Of Skowhegan, and
now the Maine Division Of the League steps
In and holds series of races for the division
championships in in one half mile, one mile
and three mile, races, respectively. Natur-
ally, after the great excitement over the pre-
vious championship races, unusual interest
centers in the cicle events Of the coming
week, as several Of the acknowledged fast
est men In che state will turn the track. The
Maine Division offers medals for half mile,
one mile, best two heats In three, respect
lively, and a three mile race, all for Maine
Division championships. Up TO this time
the following well known racing men have
entered in one, two or all Of these events: G.
w. Barnes, l.. b. Chase, W. G. West, Port
land, r. Il. Patten. Will Baker, Skowhegan,
@. 5. Weir, +. III. Neal, Fairfield. These
gentleman are all fast riders. Mr.. Patten
has recently lowered the State Of Maine
mile bicycle record, and he will probably
start to lower his own record on Tuesday
next. @. S. Weir Of Fairfield, Is talked Of as
one Of the probable winners OF these three
events. 1t Is understood that he will start
in the one mile championship division race.
Mr.. Weir sent his wheel a mile over the
bicycle ring at Fairfield the other day, in
500. Portland and Biddeford riders who are
entered for the races, are reported to be
making some very fast miles.

WARMING NITRO cLYcERINE.
An Experiment Which Resulted In
Fatal Injuries.

AUGUSTA, Oct 4.-Workmen employed by
the electric light company were engaged in
blasting rock alongside of the road today for
the purpose of setting poles, and the dynem-
ite cartridges, being somewhat hard, Mr.. c.
p. Nevens undertook to warm them over a
blacksmith's forge, small portable affair.
He placed four six inch cartridges with rs
per cent of nitro glycerine, on an iron shovel
and placed it over the Goals, vigorously start
ing up the bellows The blacksmith, James
E. Wade, demonstrated with him for his
carelessness and turned away quickly in
fear. He had got away but few steps when
fearful explosion threw him violently to
the ground while flying fragments of iron
and coal struck him as he fell. On regaining
his senses fearful sight met his gaze.
Not vestige of the forge was to be seen.
while poor Nevens was laying upon his back,
some ten feet away, feebly waving the mutil-
ated stump of his right arm. Wade, though
badly injured and seriously cut in in the legs
and arms, was able to reach his companion,
while others ran down the road for help.
Nevens was found to be terribly mutilated.
his face burned to a crisp and perfectly
black. The right hand was blown to pieces,
the side of his head crushed In. the sight of
both eyes destroyed, a fragment Of iron i'm
bedded in his f0rhead and one OF his legs
broken in several places.
In spite of these severe injuries, Nevens
still retained consciousness, and while being
removed to his home on Bangor street, dis
played most remarkable nerve, tightly press
ing the arteries in his injured wrist to check
the flow of blood.
Drs. Martin were quickly summoned, and
Immediately put the suffering man under the
influence Of chloroform, and dressed his
wounds, amputating the shattered hand,
and removing the fragments of iron from
his skull
They also took from his limbs and body
fifteen pieces of iron and coal. He is now
under the influence of the anaesthetic, but
the surgeons pronounce his case hopeless.
Neyens is young man, and has been mar
ried but short time. Wade, though con-
fined to his bed, is not seriously injurey, his
wounds being in the fleshy parts of his legs
and arms, considerable iron having been re-
moved He considers his escape most mirac-
ulous The responsibility for the shocking
occurrence rests wholly with Nevens.

EAsTMAN's DEATH.
A Barkeeper's story of Quarrel Over
a Drink.

GREAT FALLS, N. H., Oct. A new de-
velopment in the Eastman case is the state
ment Of Henry C. Tibbetts, clerk of the
Great Falls Hotel, lust made to the authori-
ties. He states that on the night of the
murder Halton e. Wells and Fred Towle,
the parties arrested last night, were in the
bar room of the hotel taking drink. Towle
standing treat. This was about 1.90. East
man then came in and Wells asked him to
have drink, which Eastman did. Towle
had quarrel with Tibbetts, who was tend
ing bar, about the price of the drinks, want
ing to escape paying for Eastman's drink,
claiming he never asked Eastman to drink
Towle threatened to lick Tibbetts If he would
come outside. Eastman then put his hand
into his pocket and moved up TO the bar as
II to pay for his own drink and said to
Towle, II can lick you" Wells then turned
on Eastman and grabbed him with one hand
by the throat and with the other by the
saying, "You can't lick nobody" Tibbetts
then stopped the fracas and told the parties
to go home.
Wells and Towle were interviewed at the
police station. Both were cool and collect
ed. They strongly denied 1ibbetts's story
and said there was no trouble between
Towle and Tibbetts about drinks, or be-
tween Wells and Eastman. They were ar
raigned In the municipal court this after
noon and both pleaded not guilty. No tes-
timony was taken and the hearing was post
poned until next Wednesday. The prisoners
were taken to the county Jail in Dover. The
reputation Of the men is good.
Mary Banfeld, the cook at Grants Hotel,
testified that the night Of the murder she
heard splash and then a cry, and few
moments afterwards several men approach
the bridge. This statement might seem to
confirm DR.. Swasey's theory that death was
not the result of violence.
