Thursday, Mr.. Henry Colley's six year old
son fell out Of tree twenty-five feet upon a

The customary fall feet of eastern herring

Mr.. Hanna, late keeper of the Cape lights,
Is comfortably and contentedly located in
the old Portland Club House. at Delano
Park, where he is quietly resting from the
cares, responsibilities and irksome duties Of
nineteen consecutive years in the light house
service. When questioned about his recent
dismissal from the service, he said that he
was ever ready and willing to atone for his
own sins Of omission and commission; but
that 1t was not according to law, Gospel,
Hoyle or even Democratic civil service
reform, to be held to answer for the sins of
others: 1t is understood that he has appealed
from this unjust local decision to the higher
court in Washington. M.

Ten new members were voted in.
A committee was appointed to revise the
constitution, and it was voted to have
visitors nights twice a month, the first and
third Wednesday until January.
The exercising has begun with more than
its usual vigor and the interest Is greater
than ever. New features have beell intro
duced in every department of class work,
Mr. Doldt, the instructor, having. returned
from his summer course at Harvard, with
much new material.
The average attendance of the tri-weekly
classes has already reached the neighbor-
hood of thirty and this has so crowded the
hall that it was decided last evening to care
fully investigate the matter of cutting
through the east wall Of the room and thus
gain considerable space. New locker rooms
with increased facilities will be arranged at
once, and everything will be done to make
the Turnverein adequate to the demand. A
number of new pieces of apparatus will
probably be purchased the coming week to
supply the deficiency and make the Turn
verein complete gymnasium.
In fact there will be Improvement in every
department of the organization and its adj

A Burlington, {Vt.) despatch dated the
18th inst, says: Business circles were
thrown into fever Of excitement here about
10 this evening by the announcement that
the body of man, supposed to be Mr.. A. L.
Wright, of the firm of Wright & Sawyer,
Boston, had been washed ashore on the beach
near Sand Bar Bridge about 10 miles north
of this city. He went out on fishing trip
with John Van Sicklen, of the firm of Van
Sicklen & Spalding, the largest grocery firm
Of this city, yesterday, and Van Sicklen was

Architects Meeting.

The architects of the State dined at the
Preble House Thursday evening. They as
sembled to agree upon rates Of drafting and
superint ending. Heretofore it has been
customary to charge from 81 to 81 per cent.
Some have charged 2a per cent. for designing
and per cent. for experimenting, others 2
and IL. Now it is hoped to establish uniform
rates. The majority seem to favor q per
cent. for plans and % per cent. for superin-
tending the erection. They have consulted
many of our leading contractors, and the
latter rate has been pronounced fair and
reasonable. Among the prominent architects
present were Fassett, Tompson, Stevens
and Cobb, Of Portland. Coombs of Lewiston,
Lewis OF Gardiner, and Mansur of Bangor
Representatives from other parts of the
State have written that they would adopt the
rates adopted by the meeting.

Killed by a Fall.

Yesterday morning, Mark Rose, steward of
the schooner Matte B. Russell, was found
dead in the hold Of the vessel. He was left
in charge of the schooner Thursday night
and without doubt went on deck for some
purpose or other and fell through the open
hatchway. He struck on his head and must
have died instantly. Coroner Gould held an
inquest yesterday forenoon and verdict Of
accidental death was rendered. Rose had
been engaged in writing letters during the
evening, several addressed to woman in
Boston, being found on him. The letters
indicate that he was more than half crazyp

people will be treated free of charge in their par

they have performed we quote the following;
Miss Hattie Terwilliger was parayzed and help
less, not being able to move any part OF her Dody
Her physicians told her there was no help for her,
and her parents were daily expecting her death,
when they heard of Drs Smith and McMullen.
The doctors gave Miss Hattie ten magnetic treat.
ments and restored her TO health. This cure was
made nine years ago, and Miss Hattie Is still
alive and well. The above cure was made with
out the use Of a single dose OF medicine, and is
strong evidence in favor OF Drs. Smith and Nc
Mullen's magnetic power to cure disease. All
those who are sick and suffering should go to the
United States Hotel and consult Drs. Smith and
McMullen. They cure all forms Of chronic dis
ease and viii cure seven out Of ten cases after all
other means have failed. Consultations free from
