AN ANXIOUS NIGHT.
Two Wandering Boys sleep In a
Horse-car.

Saturday morning about IL o'clock, Ches-
ter, the little five-year old son Of Ira Clark,
and Arthur, the six-year old son of George
Thompson, engineer of the steamer Ire
mont, wandered away from home. Their
absence didn't excite much suspicion until
p M, when the parents became alarmed
ana started on search. Police and parents
sought every spot where 1t was thought the
truants might be, with no result. Then
thoroughly alarmed, search parties were
sent to Ligonia, Knightville and Oeefing,
nut no boys were found Early yesterday
morning Mr.Clark's door bell rang and Mrs
Clark answered 1t. There stood the lost
youths. "Aint you glad to see me mother"
cried the Clark boy. There was no need for
an answer. 1t appears that the two boys wan
dered into the car-house of the Portland
Railroad Company on Spring street, after
having trotted about over the city as far as
Thomson's Point, and entered horse car.
After they got in they couldn't get out, the
door either locking or the spring catching.
The boys cried out and used every means
possible to attract attention without avail.
Finally Chester took off his overcoat, for Ar
thur hadn't any, and the boys laid down in
the car together and covered themselves
with the overcoat. Thus they passed the
night, and in the morning they knocked out
window In the car and forced their way
through and then home. Perhaps they
were not glad.to get warm and TO get good
breakfast
reporter for the PRESS called at Mr.
Clark's yesterday and saw Chester, who told
him his experience. He said that Arthur
and he did not go about the city as reported,
but they went from his house on Bracket
street to the horSe-car stables just beyond on
Spring street. They found their way into a
car-sleigh, which was in small building
partly under ground, some distance from
tts cir-aousa and stables. When they
were about to leave the car, the door stuck
and they couldn't open 1t. They called and
cried but no one came. When night fell
Chester said they would have broken the car
window, but were afraid they would receive
whipping. so they decided to lie down on
the car seat and cover themselves with his
oyercoat. and then, If In the morning, no one
| came, they would break the window and 20
home. So Arthur laid down on the narrow
seat and Chester placed himself partly on
him. drew his 0vercoat over both, aud then
they tried to sleep. But their couch was SO
narrow Chester tumbled off two or three
times. They were awfully cold and had eaten
| nothing since 7.30 a. m. Saturday. When it
was light enough to see, the benumbed boys
broke window and at great risk climbed
out and made their way home What a re-
joicing ensued on their arrival. Arthur was
SO dazed with cold he felt as If in a dream.
The boys feet were put in hot water, hot
water given them to drink, and later hot
Cruel. They were doing quite nicely last
| evening. Mrs. johnson was almost crazey
over the supposed loss of her child and Mrs.
| Clark was almost as bad.

the FREEpoaT STRIKE.
Captain Shaw Arrives on the GROUND
THE Firms statement.

Mr.. H..H. Shaw returned late last night
from an extended business trip to find
good deal of commotion in the shoe factory
at Freeport managed under his direction.
He will without doubt quickly pour oil on
the troubled waters and restore order and
prosperity out of discomfort and unrest.
Mr.. Shaw furnished the following statement
for the firm:
To the Editor of the Press.
As conflicting and misleading reports con-
corning the affairs of A. w. Shaw d Co.. at
Freeport have. found their way into print
we desire to give the facts as they existed
at the time the strike began. The crew
there consisted of about 100 hands. The
most OF these were citizens of Freeport who
have learned shoe making since establish
ing. this factory, only. about twenty ex-
perienced hands going there at first. AS the
skill of the workmen improved the character
of the work has been advanced so that with
the present crew only good medium class
of work in three grades was made. We de-
sired to enlarge the product and run the
basis in the near future. Plenty Of new
hands, citizens of Freeport wanted to learn.
The shoes they could make at first would
when finished be worth hardly as much as
the stock in them cost. There were few If
any experienced hands in town. To employ
ehC youuS PCOpiO VI tuC toWu VIII Wot0 GU
titled to it, we put in quantity
Of coarse, low priced work ON which to
teach them so that the loss thereon should be
as small as possible. designing as soon as
they were qualified to promote them to the
better work with the old hands and at their
prices. We thought these had just as good
right to enter our employ as our old hands,
now striking, had when they began, and that
we bad just as good right to hire them. None
OF the old hands were to be asked to touch
any Of the cheap work unless they desired to
do So
There was plenty of the good work for
them and no question about prices to our
knowledge. There was ne reduction made
or contemplated for this work. But labor
union. the creature of Massachusetts agita-
tors whose design is to cripple this thriving
young industry In this prosperous Maine
village appeared to decide that we had no
right to make or execute any such plans;
that we had no right to increase the business
or do anything further to promote the
growth Of that community and took a large
proportion of our crew out.
The work is there, the factory running, and
the old hands wishing to do so can return
provided their places have not already been
filled by simply agreeing to attend to their
work hereafter and allow us to manage the
business while we pay them their wages.
The management of this business has been
too long before the people of Maine for any
well thinking person to expect that any
thing unjust or unkind will be done to any
employee of this firm.
Yours respectfully,
A. w. SHAW & Co.
