The Goat Story Applies.

L 'lEit htlt jh''ifTtN hph Il
There is nothing like beginning
early AMI continuing late. Parties
in Mexico are actively circulating
petitions for appointment as post
master at that place. The present
incumbent, J. W. Beatty, was ap-
pointed in August, 1888, and his
term will not expire, till March,
1893. Blu, the applicants want to
be in time; they want to begin the
century with an assurance that
they are firmly fixed in a slnecure
for old age AS the gentleman

question
The batting and fielding averages of

Special to the kenuebec journal.
WArERvILLE, Oct rs.
A big sensation was caused in this city last
night by the arrest. at the Elmwood Hotel,
of James E. Blackhall, manager of the
brokers office of kinsley 4 Co. Blackhall
was arrested at midnight on a charge of en-
bezziement preferred by his employers.
Messrs. kinsley Jordan of Lewiston.
Offers of bail were freely made by Mr.
Blackhalls friends at the hotel, but he fin
ally concluded not to make use of bail and
accompanied the officers to the city lookup
where he spent the night. He WAS arraigned
before Judge Stewart this morning on the
charge of embezzling $500 of his employ
er's money.
At the request of Blackhalrs attorneys,
Messrs Brown aud johnson, his hearing was
postponed until tomorrow at nine O'Clock.
Blackhali maintains his entire innocence, and
promises some interesting Developments at
the trial tomorrow in regard to certain
methods of the firm Mr.. Blackhall came
here about three months since and soon won
many friends among the young men of the
city by bis pleasing manners and generosity.
lie has seemed to have plenty of money to
from which to spend it, lie belongs to a
good family and his friends here have great
confidence in his ability TO completely vini
cate his character from the charges made.
Interest in regard TO the cause of the late
accident at the gas house is still high, and the
verdict of the coroner's jury which meets
again tomorrow is eagerly awaited. II is
pretty certain from late developments that a
verdict will be reached showing that Wash
burn came to his death from the results of
his own csrelessnesL Since the first meet
ing of the jury, it has been found that the
valve on the inside of the building in the
pipe leading to the gasometer was not closed
a. supposed when the fire was first dIscov
e,ei. Mr.. Caswell testified at first that he
found this valve clssed but second exam
/ alton prove il TO be open, but set 80 hard
that it gave those who tried it the impression
OF being shut. The theory that the inside
valve WAS open at the time of the accident is
still further confirmed by the fact that at the
moment when Mr.. Csswell closed the outside
valve which also controls the tiow of gas,
whieh he did as soon as he reached the spot,
the volume of the flame at once was dimin-
ished and the fire soon put out,
An attempt was made Sunday night to
burglarize the storehouse of John Packard,
but the thief found nothing worth making
of with.
Several young men of this city indulged in
a little racket at dance in Wiaslow Satur-
day evening and were pulled up today by the
officers.
