RECOGNIZED HIS PICTURE.
A SWindier Wanted In Portland Prob
ably Under Arrest.

The operations Of the gentleman who Sc
cured goods of various Portland merchants
by swindling dodge some time ago and
stored his plunder in Postmaster Palmer's
barn, will be remembered. Mr.. A. l.. Mil
lett last week heard of the arrest of man in
a Massachusetts, city who had played game
similar to that at which the visitor to Port
land was soprofcient. Mr.. Millett sent for
the gentleman's photograph which arrived
yesterday. The picture had been shown to
many of the Portland people who saw the
man who lodged in the postmaster's barn
and they are positive that it is the likeness
of the individual whom they have cause to
remember distinctly. When the Massachu-
setts officers are done with him he may be
asked to again visit Portland.

THE EARTH WAS SHAKEN.
Mysterious Explosion Of Three Inn
mense Fly Wheels.

PARRERsBURG, w. Va, November 2O.-
This morning, without any known cause,
three immense fly wheels controlling the ma
chinery in the large factory belonging to the
Parkersburg Mill Company simultaneously
exploded, .demolishing everything inside the
building, including the engines, machinery
and other valuable property. The report
was like that of cannon. and the earth was
shaken for great distance. Had the acci-
dent happened a minute later fifty lives
would have been endangered. Some Of the
loss is $1,000 to $4,000. A hundred men are
thrown out Of employment. A short time
afterward fire. equally mysterious in its
origin, totally destroyed the plant of A. j.
Jackson's hardware company; loss $4,000.
