INVITED THE TOWN TO SUPPER.
The Generous Thief Who Stole a
Portland MANS Horse.

BIDDEFoRD, Dec. 5.-Detective Tarbox
took trip to North Berwick yesterday, in
search of team which was stolen from P.
81. Bradley of Portland by the same man
through whom James Quarter of this city,
recently lost buggy and was put to consid-
erable trouble and expense. The thief, who
gave his name as Parks, and who has since
been arrested in Massachusetts as an es-
capped convict from a reformatory institution,
hired the team of Mr.. Bradley some time
ago, saying that he wanted it for three DAYS.
The three days passed, and Bradley heard
nothing from his team, and was detained by
illness from making any efforts toward re-
covering it.
Having heard of the experience Quarter
had had with the horse thief, and also of the
thief's subsequent arrest In Massachusetts,
he placed the matter in Detective Tarbox's
hands, who finally traced Parks to North
Berwick
1t seems that Parks, who is young man,
had formerly lived in the neighborhood of
North Berwick, and was quite well acquaint-
ed in the town. His friends lost sight of
him few years ago, and had heard nothing
from him until he made his recent visit, well
dressed and apparently possessed of plenty
of money, which he literally expended about
town. He had driven from Portland with
Bradley's team, and about the first thing
that he did upon his arrival at North Ber-
wick was to look up some former acquaint-
ances and make himself solid with them.
Next he made arrangements for giving an
oyster supper IN the Baptist chnrch, the ex-
pense of which he was to stand, and to
which everybody was invited. The supper
was given, barges were run from all parts of
| the town at Parks's expense. and he was the
| lion of the evening. He succeeded In put
| ting himself on the best of terms with those
present, and his lavish generosity and the
pleasure he manifested in entertaining his
former acquaintance excited much favora-
| BILE comment.
! He sold the stolen team to a farmer named
| Neal, for $40 and afterwards stole a harness
from Neal The detective recovered the
! team, which was still in possession of Neal

Hamilton at noon Tuesday. He was colonel
of the 2nd artillery, stationed at st. Angus
tine, Fla. but he had been on the sick list
about eight months, although his friends and
family were not expecting a fatal result OF
his illness.
Major General Ayres was born In New
York sixty-two years ago. tie chose the
saEssF ssaP1EsssE e A VldsFe Ard atssr sOUEse Of in
commissioned Drevet second Lieutenant OF

months later he was transferred TO the 3D.
artillery with the rank Of second lieutenant.
In March, 1852 he became first lieutenant. At
the outbreak Of the war he was captain In
the 9TH artillery and great gallantry and
dashing bravery made his promotion rapid.
He rose in rank six. times and was mustered
out of volunteer service April 80, 1866. when
he was brevet major general. His war

galIantry in the battles Of Gettysburg. We'll

The EuneraI of oliver cerrish.

The publication of an invitation to a GER
tain society to attend the obsequies of Mr..
Oliver Gerrish was unauthorized, and is
greatly regretted by his family, as its recall
may seem ungracious. Mr. Gerrsh was
an active member of numerous organizations
and, as it would be Impossible to accommo-
date all of them in his house, where, in ac-
cordance with his wish, the service will be
held it seemed best to send a special invita-
to no association as such. His many person.
al friends, however, who may desire to pay a
last tribute to his memory by attendance at
the closing rites, will be cordially welcome
in their individual capacity. The family is
deeply appreciative of the kind feelings
which have prompted the various societies
in proposing demonstrations of respect, and
trusts that the foregoing statement will ex-
plain satisfactorily the declination Of their
fraternal offers. The jewelers. will all close
their stores from 2.30 to $50 D. m. as mark
Of respect to Mr.. Gerrish.

WE WANT THE HAYTIAN REPUBLIC.
Reason to Believe That Secretary
Bayard Has Taken Action.
The Formidable caIena In Order for

What Is Learned In New York Of
Haytlan Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-While there Is rea-
son to believe that the government has de-
manded the release of the Haytian Republic
recently seized at Port au Prince, it is inpos-
sible to obtain official information to that
effect. Secretary Bayard declines 20 say
anything about the subject, and WHEN AS
sistant Secretary Riyes was asked, ie ans
wered, Il am not at liberty to say" Secre-
tary Whitney said: is diplomatic ques-
tion entirely, and l would not know any
thing about it unless the Secretarylo Of State
requested the use Of naval vesse. In case
demand was made for the release Of the
vessel in question, and 1t was refused. We
would at once take steps to enforce 1t by
sending our vessels to that country. The
case cannot have reached that point yet as
we have not been asked to send any vessel
to Hayti. Some Of our vessels may 20 there
but SO far no orders have been issued on the
subject" Commodore Walker, chief of the
navigation bureau, said: "The Galena, Yam
tic and Richmond. now at New York, could
be made ready for sea in about two weeks,
and the Ossipee, at Norfolk, in about four
weeks. In case only one vessel was needed,
the Galena, flying the flag Of Rear Admiral
Luce, would probably be selected"

MAKING TWO STATES OF CALIFORNIA.
Mr.. vandever's Plan to Prevent
Diversity of interests.
The Senate Recommences Its work
OF Tariff Revision.
S ome OF the Material Offered for
Manufacture Into Law.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Representative
Vandever, of California. introduced bill
today to divide California into two States,
very much on the lines of the sixth Con-
gressional district making the southern
boundaries Of San Mateo. Santa Clara, Stan
islaus and Mariposa counties the boundary
line between the two proposed States. The
mountain countries of Alpine, Mono and
Inyo would he included In the Southern
State. 1t is claimed the great length Of the
State results in diversity of interests and
1t is thought the interests Of the people of
the two sections would be advanced if each
section could legislate for itself alone. The
great length of coast line and its variety,
climate and resources render State legisla-
tion that would be acceptable to the people
Of both South and North California very
difficult il not impracticable. Mr.. Vandever
did not expect the passage OF the bill at this
session, but hoped something would come
from IL in future.

hannibal HamIin Remembers His
Native County.


Hon. Hannibal Hamlin has again laid the
citizens OF Paris Hill under obligations, by
denoting the sum of three hundred dollars to
the Academy Fund. A few years ago Mr..
Hamlin gave the citizens of his native town
a clock that cost about five hundred dollars,
which was placed in the tower of the First
Baptist church. Last spring he gave one
hundred dollars toward building receiving
tomb in Hillside Cemetery and two hundred
dollars toward fund to keep the grounds in
repair, making in all, about eleven hundred
dollars. 1t is no wonder that Mr.. Hamlin is
always welcome guest on Paris Hill. and
that his name is hOnored and respected in
the place of his birth.
Miss Ann Brown, the only surviving sister
of Mr.. Hamlin, has been but little behind
her brother in generosity to her native vii
lage. A few years ago she gave the sum oi
three hundred dollars towards the purchase
of a hearse for the use of the village and last
spring she donated twenty. five dollars to-
ward receiving tomb in Hillside Cemetery,
and four hundred dollars for the fund to
keen the grounds in repair. Mrs. Brown is
always ready to lend helping hand in any
good work. That she and her hOnored
brother may live to enjoy many blessings. Is
the earnest wish of every citizen of Paris

Capt. A. B. Hall, master of the schooner
Jennie Hall, Of Addison, has hled a claim
with the United States government against
the Spanish government for redress growing
out OF an act Of injustice which he has suf-

Capt. Hall bases his claims are substantially
as follows In February, 1883, ne TOOK a

voice Of 81 barrels Of pork. In looking over
the receipts accompanying the bills Of ladlng

A well attended meeting of the Children's
Christmas Club was held yesterday after
noon in City Hall. Miss Sargent spoke at
length on the dinner question. She was in
favor of giving dinner but thought that
turkey should be given up. The club had
found so nuch trouble soliciting turkey that
she thought that other things should be sub
stituted. Remarks were made by President
Bailey, ex- President Ingraham, and several
other members of the club supporting Miss
Sargent in her views. A vote was then TAX
en- and the members were unanimous in their
desire to give dinner minus the turkey.
Miss Sargent explained to the collectors
their duties and how they should perform
them. Sixty-four members were enrolled a
this meeting. 1t was decided to give the
dinner Saturday. December 30. A first classt
entertainment will be furnished during the
afternoon. Probably Prof. Doldt and sew
eral members of the Turnverein will take
part Donations may be made to any officer
