Knee Pants.

We have just received
a new lot of Boys Knee
Pants from our manu-
facturer in New York.
They range in price
from "a cents a pair
upward. Doesn't that
seem a ridiculous price
for a pair of Pants ?
OF course they're not
the finest, but worth
double that money and
a good thing for a boy
to knock around with.
Good bargains in Mems
and Boys Long Panta-
looms. AS every day
brings something new
and we mean to keep
things moving lively at

RAILROAD MATTERS.
CANADIAN PACIFIC.


1t lis rumored that the Canadian Pacific is
contemplating running vestibule train to
Portland only that the road will run trains
from the Northwest over the $780," as well
as from Chicago. The Canadian Pacific can
utilize its new route through Northern
Maine. as well as via Fabyan's. Both roads
are in measure untrammeled by the WASH
ington commission. and for this reason the
American roads are disposed to look with an
unIIiehuly eye upon the scheme of their
northern rivals to take the people from the
not pralrles of the West to the cool and

MORE TROUBLE WITH THE GRAND TRUNK.

first move came when the Grand Trunk

Fire at Cape EIIzapeth Depot.

The fine two story residence of Capt. VIM.
Thompson, Cape Elizabeth Depot, was dis
covered to be on fire Saturday noon. Chief
Cloyes, with some Of No. 3's company, went
out with the engine and hose carriage to
fight the fire. They took with them over
one thousand feet of hose, but this was not
sufficient to reach the water, and delay
was occasioned by having to send to the en-
gine house for more hose. A stream was in
readiness in season to save the adjoining
buildings, but Captain Thompson's house
and stable, worth from $4,000 to $4,000, were
burned. The household furniture was most
~ saved, some Of it being damaged. There
was an insurance on the property for
5000, placed by Rollins & Adams. The
origin of the fire is not definitely know n, but
it is thought to have caught from defective
chimney. Captain Thompson is commander
of the bark Ethel, which arIis ed from South
America a week ago.

A Spring Clothing BONANZA.

McNeill the clothier, at 2O7 Middle street,
opposite the Falmouth Hotel, says he has
got an electric shock for people in the way
of bargains in spring clothing. He gives a
tabulated statement of his prices which, he
says,are SO low as to seem almost absurd. He
has got an immense variety Of suitings and
overcoats In to please all tastes. The reason
why he can offer such bargains is because he
bought the entire stock of leading manu-
facturer of fine clothing who had to have
cash even at the sacrifice of his property.
