Maud Abbott has treated Bangor to anoth-
er sensation. Maud will be remen bered as
the infatuated creature who some time ago
shot herself rather than leave her paramour,
a tough customer named Herbert Sprague.
The wound did not prove fatal and Tuesday
the physicians thought she was we'll enough
TO be taken to her home in Bucksport. Ac-
cordingly her father and mother, who are
very respectable people, called for her at
Sprague's home. They entrsated her to go
with them but she refused, and Sprague, too,
declared that she should not go away. The
police were then appealed to and by sheer
force removed her screaming, kicking and
biting into carriage. She was driven to
the boat, but when she got there she refused
to get out OF the carriage and kicked and
screamed again. Fearing a row on board
the boat the boat people refused to take her,
and finally it was decided to take her to
Bucksport in carriage She fought like a
tigress, but finally was overpowered and de-
posted in the carriage. Curiously enough
Sprague, who has no doubt been guilty of q
crime which would send him to the peniten-
tiary, is not interferei with, but is about the
streets breathing out threatenings and
slaughter against the men who removed
Maud from his brothel. All of which goes
to show that the liquor law is not the only
law not sufficiently enforced in Bangor.

The war between Hippolyte and Legitime
in the island of Hayti appears to have be-
come butehery match. Neither side now
gives quarter to the prisoners of the other.
The other day Hippolyte assaulted Legitime's
intrenchments, and though driven back, sue
ceeded in taking few prisoners. These
prisoners were promptly put to death by
cutting their Threats. In retaliation Legiti-
me Immediately assembled a dozen of Hip
polyte's men who had fallen into his hands
in the market place of Porte au Prince, and
there in the presence of the populace and
midst approving shouts gagged them pre-
paratory to putting an end to their lives by
the same expeditions method adopted by
Hippolyte. One of the terrified creatures
got the gag out of his mouth before his
throat was cut and ran about screaming for
mercy. This suggested to the spectators
that the affair might be made more exciting
by taking the gags ont of the mouths of the
others. This was accordingly done. and
then the executioDers went at their horrible
work, their victims screaming, cursing and
pleading until their breath gave out. The
capture OF Porte au Prince by Hppolyte is
looked for any day. and then Is likely to fol-
low general massacre of Legitime's troops,
and unless the foreign war ships interfere,
sacking Of the place also. 1t seems as if for
eign nations owed 1t to humanity to put
stop to these periodical outbreaks. The ma
tivcs are not more than half civilized, en-
tirely incompetent to govern themselves.

There is good reason for believing that the
railroad men who recently made tour of
Arootook county looked with great favor on
the proposed Northern Aroostook railroad
line. Some of them had never been in
Aroostook before, and they viewed with as
constituent the fertile farms of that section,
and the general prosperity of the people. 1t
Is pretty sale to predict that not many years
will pass before Aroostook county will en-
Joy increased railroad facilities, which will
surely swell the tide Of emigration to her
lands and give new impetus to her already
thriving industries. Meanwhile we observe
that there is some anxiety on the part of the
Aroostook Pioneer lest the building of new
railroad line may in some way check the
growth of Houlton by turning over some of
its trade to neighboring towns. But any
change of that kind, should any occur, will
be more than compensated by the general
increase of business and traffic. The great
er the prosperity of the country IN general,
the greater will be the prosperity of its towns
and villages. Houlton has nothing to fear
from the proposed line. Neither has the
New Brunswick and Canada railway. The
development of the country and the increase
Of population which will follow increased
transportation facilities will afford sufficient
business for the old road as well as the new

fragrant wrong perpetrated by the treasury
department in its general treatment of the
West However, it is on par with the
apparent policy of the present administra-
ton, as evidenced both by the president
and his secretary of state. as well as Secre-
tary Window. The Western country can
largely take care of itself. The whole
doctrine OF protection rests on basis of
enlightened and patriotic selfshness. and
the mining states will begin TO question the
policy of protecting Eastern industries,

DENVER. Oct. 8.-Quite a sensation was
created this afternoon at Berthoud, small
village fifty miles north of here. Three
weeks ago lady arrived at that place with
all the appearances of being highly edu-
Gated, and conducted herself in such a
modest and pleasing way that she soon won
several admirers. Had il not been for the
keen and wafchful eye of the city marshal
there would no doubt have been a wedding
in high life before the winter was over. but
the marshal played the detective. and as a
consequence today the young lady was
given suit of mems clothes and told to
wear them until she could prove beyond q
doubt that she was not q man. The
strangest part of it is that the woman. or
man. rather, greatly resembles Tascott, the
Chicago murderer, and will be held until
the chief of police of that city can be con-
suited.
CHICAGO, Oct o6.-Chief Hubbard will
await the arrival of the photograph OF the
supposed Tascott from Philadelphia before
sending after him.
