Everybody Determined to Rebuild

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Dec. 2S.-The bust
ness committee is hard at work, using all
endeayors to retain what business was here
previous to the fire. Ii. o. Symonds has
concluded to build two-story brick build
ing in place of the one destroyed. John c.
Peach has secured John Goodwin's factory,
including machinery. and also. the hall of
Capt. Clinton Love for the use of his cutters
Mr.. Woodbury. has failed to secure quar-
tiers, but will rebuild at his earliest convent
ence. Il. Il. Cole has not yet concluded what
he will do. 1t IS stated that while the con-
hagration was at its height, 35 houses wer Q
on fire in the lower part of the town. Today
citizens offered their services for two weeks
work to dig trenches and aid in the work of
clearing up and rebuilding.
A member of the Business Association
said this morning that he had no doubt that
all the manufacturers would rebuild, but it
would take some time to complete the work.
Mr.. Woodbury. is anxious to fill orders, and
has given out word that he does not want a
man to secure work elsewhere, thus assur-
ing his 250 employees that he will stand by
them.

THE STATES INTEREST.
New HampshIre's Perpetual Trouble
With Her Railroads.

CONCORD, n. H., Dec. 2s.-At the after
noon session of the commission appointed to
ascertain the interest of the State in the
Concord and Boston & Maine railroads, Hon.
A. 7. Batchelder of Keene renewed the
proposition of Austin Corbin of New York,
Robert X. Dow and John L. Howard of
Claremont. made to Gov. Sawyer in August,
1887, to pay the State S50O,009 for its interest
in the Concord railroad. An additional stip-
ulation. not mentioned in that offer, is that
the road should not be paralleled
William nj. Chase, one of the counsel for
the Concord road, objected to the considera-
tion of the proposition, and took the posi-
tion that an acceptance would virtually place
the State in the attitude of stock broker.
The commissioners decided to make an in
vestigation eff the facts in the case, to report
to the legislature, and accordingly took a re-
cess until the middle of January, when tes-
timony will be heard.

The Increasing number OF students In the

preparatory school for German students
alone. A building for this use has just been
completed, but money Is now wanting to

RAILWAY MATTERS.
A RuMoREp EXTENSION.

a hbMOlSED EAlENcION-
A despatch from Enfield says; at is evil
dent that some sort of scheme is on foot
looking to the extending of the Maine Cen
trail road, which now runs in from Enfield
to the mouth Of the Piseataquis river, still
further onward, either to Schoodic or
Brownyille. This is made plain by the fact
that several men, known to be intimate with
the Maine Central officials, have been and
stu are looking over the ground, buying and
getting the refusal of timber tracts on which
are white birch and pulp wood growths.
Men, too, have been about the river looking
at the bottom, watching the current and
making inquiries about the water and the
drives of logs in the spring. and these are
supposed to be the men who are either to
build the necessary bridge across the Penob-
scot or are to bid on contract One Of the
men came down from the Canadian Pacific
road, where he represents either the Edge
more or Union Bridge companies.
81 am told that the syndicate which has
bought up much OF the land along the route,
includes an ex-governor of the State. a mem
Der of the legislature, a prominent Penob-
scot lumberman, a brother of Senator Hale,
aud one of the leading Maine Central officials
and that this land now stands in their
names. The proposed route has not hill in
1t, and rail- could De lalQ on the present
surface and trains run In without an inch
of grading. In fact the only work of this
sort will be the building up of a right of
way, so that 1t will be above the spring
floods. Nearly all TIE land along the pro-
posed route is flooded at some season of the
year, and quite a large tract is submerged
each spring and fall"

A DEADLY ASSAULT.
A Burglar Attacks Captain Seth B.
Mcclellan
And Leaves Him Unconscious on the
Floor.

Burglars sometimes when brought to bay
will take life in order to escape arrest or per-
sonal injury, but it is of rare occurrence that
one is found who unnecessarily and wanton-
ly attacks man whose premises he has in
vaded.
Thursday night Captain Seth b. McLel-
Ian, Que of Portland's Oldest shipmasters.
and brother of the late Hon. Jacob McLel-
Ian, dreamed that house belonging to the
family, located at the corner of High and
Danforth streets, had beea entered by bur
glars and quantity of valuable property
taken. Yesterday morning, after breakfast,
the captain remembered his dream, and
thought, as he had not been in the house in
question for some time, that he would look
it over and see if it was in proper condition.
Accordingly he put ON his hat and coat and
went TO the house. Everything looked right
about the place and he was about to leave
when he heard noise as If some one was
moving about the cellar. Thinking that one
of his neighbors might be therefor it was
not uncommon for one of them to OCCASION
ally visit the house-he went to the cellar
door and called. No answer was returned
and the noise ceased. Thinking he was mis-
taken Captain Mcclellan turned to come
away, when he felt tremendous blow on
the head and lost consciousness. How long
he remained in that condition he cannot
tell-it must have been some time-before he
recovered sufficiently to make his way to his
neighbor's house near by. 1t appeared that
when the captain called down the cellar
stairs, there was burglar in the house who
was loading up with lead pipe. He came up
the dark stairs, swiftly and noiselessly, and
hit the captain over the head with piece of
the pipe, inficting deep and serious cash.
In his fall the captain also injured his face
considerably and blsckened his eyes. He is
considerably prostrated by the shock.
A lady living in the vicinity saw the bur
glar leap from window, after the blow had
been inflicted, and run down the street. It
is to be hoped that the villain win be seized
by the police and get good measure of jus
tice meted out TO him.

MAINE VOLUNTEER MILITIA,

To the Editors Of the LelDist0n Journal;
In this mornings issue Of the Portland PRESS
there appeared a challenge from Co. A. First Reg
iment, 10 Co. ID, Second Regiment TO compete
with them for the championship Of the State. In
reply to that challenge, l would say that as we
were beaten In the competitive drill in November
by the C0burn Cadets, we have no honors to COM
pete for in that direction, and the Coburns are
the champions Of the State at the preseut time
would have no right to compete for that honor
without first drilling them or some company who
had defeated them.
We would like to drill Co. A, First Regiment,
for the championship OF the volunteer militia or
for money; and are willing to give them a try for
what Is honorable, but can't compete for the
championship of the State, as neither Co. A. nor
ourselves have that honor at the present time.
Trusting that drill may be brought about be-
tween the companies named,
am, very respectfully,
