sudden Change Which Befeu F0O1
 Little Girl I'm Maine.
 BosroN, Sept. 15.-A dispatch from An. gusta, Me-, says that yesterday little Angie Dalton, age fourteen, was supposed to be q poor country girl, a" 6rebua, "and fit subject for some correctional institution. To-day she turns out to be an heiress and in all prob ability entirely innocent of the grave prime of arson, of which she confessed herself guilty. Angie lived in Kennebecs town, where upon July night some old tumble down buildings were burned to the ground. It appears that some one thought her actions suspicious about this time, and after some delay the authorities caused her arrest. The girl was frightened, and with no one to pro- teet her was taken before trial justice and told it would be best for her to plead guilty, which she innocently did, and was thereupon raigned yesterday, she in a dazed sort of way pleaded guilty again to the charge, but Judge Whitehouse, suspeeting the case would bear further scrutiny, remandsd the prisoner, and subsequent developments show the wisdom of his course.
 To-day 6 white-haired man appeared upon the scene, and after 6 long consultation with the county attorney, Ir. Carlton, this off cial requested that Angie be brought before the court, which was done. He then asked the judge to continue the case until the De- oember term, allowing her to go in the custo- dy of the old man, who was her uncle and 6 man of means. In reply to questions by the court, the old man said his name was T. s. Walton, that the girl was his niece, that he had made bis will making her his sole heir, that he believed her utterly incapable of com hitting such crime as that charged against her, and he thought that she pleaded guilty simply because she was told to do so, and be- ing unacquainted with the ways of the world she must. The judge granted the request of the city attorney.

NIT. Lines on RItualism-The Improv.
 menta at St. RauIR.

n
 At St. Panps church yesterday morning Rev. MT. Lines spoke very earnestly on the subject of 1ituaIism in the Episcopal church. He noted and deprecated the increasing ten dency towards magnifoation of outward and visible forms of worship. But while this tendency must be confessed it does not show that there is lacking depth of feeling as the source of the movement. Such 8 ten- dency is injurious to the highest welfare of the church because it alienates those who re- gard some ritual as assented to public wor- ship. But charity rather than harsh and ar- bitrary official decrees should be used to- ward those who advocate 8 change to in- creased ritualism. Time will bring better remedy than force.
 Repairs on the organ and the changes in the chsncel are not yet finished, but the choir occupied the enlarged choir gallery for the first time yesterday, and MT. Fowler, or- ganist, was able to connect part of the organ so that it could be used yesterday. The con tractor who undertook these repaira, as we'll ss those at the Dwight Place and Center churches, has had his hands more than full, and the two latter churches were obliged to use other instruments in service yesterd ay. By next Sunday the organ at St. Paul's will be nearly if not quite finished.

 NIAGARA FALLS, Sept. 16.-Charles A. Percy, who went through the whirlpool rap ids on August 2s, 1887. in his hfeboat and some days -afterward proceeded from the whirlpool to Lewiston, attempted the same feat this afternoon. He left the old ''Maid of the Mist" landing above the Suspension bridge at 4:15 p. m. and crawled into one of the inclosed apartments of the boat. The boat pessed the whirlpool rapids and out of the whirlpool safely. When about half a mile below tho whirlpool the waves dashed in the manhole door, forcing him out into the boat. Being thrown overheard he swam through the dangerous rapids to Lewiston, a distance of three miles, where fisherman picked him up in an exhausted condition at at 7:30 o'clock. Percy had contracted to make the voyage from the Suspension bridge through the Niagara river and across the lake to Toronto to be put on exhibition with his boat. He is 27 years old, unmarried and lives at Suspension bridge. The boat wes 1oak

LONDON. September 16.-Captain vangel, who has just returned from the Congo coun- try, says he is convinced of Hippo Tib's in- nocence of the murder of Bartellot. Hippo Tib. he says, is engaged in commerce, and had au interest in the Bsrtellot's expedition. They agreed that they should be paid on reaching Zanzibar, and to this fact Vangel partly attributes the murder. He believes that Jamison will find it difficult to organize new expedition.

FAIR HAVEN.
Oyster Planters Digging Up the Shells Recently Planted-The Storm EeSter- day-At tho ChurcheS-GeReraI Notes.

Oyster Planters Digging Up the Shells Recently PIanted-The Storm Tester. day-At the ChureheS-General Notes. The steady rain of yesterday made life in Fair Haven very dreary over Sunday. The people could not get out to the city or about town with any degree of comfort and conse- quently there was very little going on aside from the usual church services and the tenn perance meeting at the rink. The old hands at the weather prophesying business were of the opinion last night that the line storm had struck us and that more or less bad weather may be expected during the entire week
 Captain Luzerne Ludington says that he will not take out any more fishing parties to Block Island this year. He had several op- portunities to go again, but can not spare his steamer as the oyster season has opened in good earnest. Captain Ludington thinks that the trade this year has opened better than it did last year and that the prospects for good season are particularly bright.
 The Rev. MT. Goodenough preached to fair-sized audience last evening at the East Pearl street Methodist church from the subs ject stThe devils chains"
 Owing to the remarkably bad 'sset" this season, some of the oyster dealers are taking up the shells they were at so much expense to throw overheard last July. Selectmen Brown and Mansfield and Sons are taking up large quantities of these shells and are put 9ing them back on their docks to wait until next season. On some or the beds there has been absolutely no ''set" at ell, and the shells that were planted there are as smooth as tue day when they were put down. Just what causes this no one can tell, but it leaves poor outlook for the oyster crop for years hence, and unless there should be an unusual ly good "set" next year, oysters will be a scarce commodity locally in few yearsr Fl. 0. Rowe 6 Co.,, and the Lancraft Brothers have some beds that are doing quite well, but nearly all the other contractors are meet ing with bad luck. Messrs Brown and Mans field think that it is better to clean up their beds where there has been no set and save the shells, than to plant on top of them next year.

 Steamer Alaska, Captain Edward Wilcox, is high hook this season among the bony fish, ermen, her catch being 36, 900 barrels or 10,- S60.000 fish, 1,800 barrels having been the result of one weeks work. The Alaska took two sharks also, each shark having dined sumptuously as was shown by the presence of 300 bonys in their stomaehs. They were good-sized fellows, measuring 16 feet in lenqth.-New London Day.

 Queef Compact by Which Foreigner
 in Chicago Celebrated the Anniversary
 Of Hls DueI.
 OMAHA, Sept. 16.-oers Bsrathoy, Hun garian who formerly lived here, and who shot himself dead at Chicago on the 18th, is found to have committed suicide as the result of 8 compact made at duel in Hungary three years ago. Being mortally offended by a Hungarian officer on September 12, 1885, he challenged the soldier and the latter accepted. In Hungary there are three methods allowa- ble in such events, the sword, the pistol and what is termed the American plan. This lat ter consists in each party drawing one of two balls, a white or black. The man who draws the black is to dispose of himself either by shooting, hanging or drowning or any other manner which may be decided upon by the challenged party before the balls are drawn. Barathoy drew the black or un1ucky ball. It had been agreed that the drawer of the un- lucky one should kill himself by shooting on the third anniversary of the duel. That an- niYersary took place last Wednesday and in of his word and honor Barathoy sent three bullets into his body and died. He had previously used mp box of mourn ing stationery in notifying his brothers, his adversary and the seconds at the duel of the approach of his death.

HeosAoT TUNNEL FILLED WITH GAS

II sixty-NIne Workmen Overcome-An
 Express Flagged in Time to Prevent
 q Slaughter.
 NORTH ADAMS, Sept. 15.-In the Hoosac Tunnel this afternoon sixty-nine workmen were overcome by coal gas from passing To- comotive. The men were divided in three gangs, thirty-nine being masons repairing the brick arch, twenty-two in the electric light gang and eight in the track gang.
 Extra freight train No. 31 went east soon after g o'clock, followed by No. g going west, filling the tunnel with smoke, when second extra No. 31 came up the grade with heavy freight. The engine had lost steam so that when the train went into the tunnel the fire box was filled with new coal. The masons working about 1000 feet from the west portal were affected but little by gas after the train passed. In 8 short time the fagman toward the west shaft reported to Overseer McGrath that the traokmen in the 3,000-feet section and electric-light men in the 6,000-feet sec- tion were overcome by gas. Express No. 33 had just entered the tunnel from the west, and McGrath ordered it Jagged. He then ordered all men unaffected to rescue the IAs$SA forced into the tunnel, the rescuers finding the men lying all along the track, some part ially and some wholly overcome. All were brought into the open air. Edward Dolan, one of the rescuing party, was so badly overcome by gas that all the afternoon he was in precarious cons dition. The rescuers went clear to the 1000 feet working place and took out eighteen men who were unconscious. Nearly all of them were on the east bound track. Had the east bound express passed the masons' fagman the slaughter would had been terrible. When the tunnel was finally cleared of men rescuers and rescued alike were all prostrated, some remaining in that condition all the afternoon. It is thought that two of the workmen will die. They are French trscklsyers and their names are unknown.
 The express did not proceed until the tunnel had cleared of the smoke, when track walker went ahead looking for men who might have been missed in the earlier search. He did not find any. There are some days when the heavy atmosphere outside causes the tunnel to choke up with smoke, but there seems to have been peculiar atmospheric condition in the tunnel to-day as the air out side was clear and crisp, such as would or dinarily clear the tunnel quickly of smoke or gas.
 All the virtims of yesterdays coal gas prostration in Hoosac tunnel are doing well. It is now thought that no fatality will occur.
