Serious Assault.

Wednesday, Mr.. Daniel G. Thompson, of
North Yarmouth, aged SO years. called on
Mrs. Reed, of that town, to collect payment
of a note. The call was pleasant one and
the money paid. Just after Mr.. Thompson
left the house Mrs. Reed heard an cutlery,
and, looking from the house, saw her son,
Bart Reed, standieg over Mr.. Thompson's
PROSTATE form, armed with a club. She ran
to him. seized his arm, and held him until
two men came along and took charge of
young Reed.
DR.. Thomas made examination of Mr..
Thompson's head, and later DR.. Osgood Wis
tied him at his house. He had partially re-
covered consciousness yesterday and was
fairly comfortable. Whether his injuries
will prove serious time will show. Drs Os-
good and Thomas were called yesterday to
make examination of Reed as to lis sanity.
He has been employed till the last three
weeks by the Grand Trunk. Since then he
has complained of pains in the head. He
says God only knows why he attacked Mr..
Thompson. He thinks he must have been

Died In His Chair.


Last night when the Star of the East left
was an elderly gentleman of medium height.
He was somewhat bald, while what hair he
had was very gray. He had grey nous
tache and chin whiskers and was dressed in
dark suit of mixed cloth, the coat being O
frock suit of the prevailing fashion.
He was not noticed by any of the other
passengers and no one seemed TO know him.
Apparently he was in good health and spir-
its and was seen number of times during
the evening promenading back and forth on
the saloon deck.
He had no stateroom or berth on account
of the crowded state of the boat and as is
supposed sat down in one of the saloon
chars for the night.
When the boat had entered the Ksnnebec
and was coming up to the city one of the
boat hands went along to him and spoke to
him so that, If he was to get off here, he
could do so. He did not respond to the call
and the man then took him by the shoulder
and gently shook him. To his surprise the
man neither moved nor spoke. 1t was then
discovered be could not move, he was dead.
The cause of his death is supposed to be
heart disease as the features Of the dead
man indicate that death had been sudden
and painless. On his person was found
money enough to enable him to travel to
Bath and return, and his initials and name
were on the various articles of clothing.
There was no clue to his home, only his
name and the Boston address given above.
Mr.. ID. L. Percy. hearing mention of the
name on the dead mans clothing, stepped
into Mr.. Clark's rooms about noon, and iden-
titled the body as that of Mr.. Charles H.
Stuart, of Boston, gentleman well known
to him. Mr.. Percy States that Mr.. Stuart's
two little girls and his sister, Mary Stuart,
and Mr.. VIM. Troup and family, with whom
it is understood the deceased lived in Bos-
ton, are at Georgetown for the summer.
They were expecting Mr.. Stuart this morn
ing to join them, and smaller boat was
sent over to Popham Beach for him, but the
man was doubtless dead then, reclining I'M
noticed in his chair. Failing to come ashore
the b0atman naturally supposed his expect
ed passenger was not ON board, and his rel
atives at Georgetown therefore knew moth
ing Of the sad cause of his non-arriyal. Mr..
Percy went down this afternoon and will
carry the unhappy news to them.

A Lively Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon, lady alighted from
her chaise at the Canal Bank, and had hard
ly left the vehicle when the horse, from some
cause, started and ran at tremendous speed
up to Market Square, where he was caught.
His running started the horse attached to
Mr.. Bakers job wagon, and that animal
made things lively on Congress street, above
Market Square. He ran into the carriage
of DR.. Pierce of Deering, smashing the yehi-
Gle badly and driving one wheel through the
front Of the carriage. Strange to say, DIR.
Pierce's horse didn't start, and the Doctor
was not hurt.
Bakers horse next ran one shaft of the
wagon through the back of hack standing
near the corner of Oak street, and into the
trunk of tree close by, while the other
shaft was on the other side of the tree A
lady, gentleman and little child were on the
sidewalk just above the corner The lady
and gentleman sprang through the open
doors of Machgonne engine house, and the
lady tainted. The child, left on the side.
walk, nearly went into fit with fright, but
none of the three were hurt.
