Eioped But Arrested.

Some days ago, it will be borne in mind, a
couple eloped from Canada, the man having
stolen some property, and the police every
where were requested to be on the alert to
arrest them. Thursday man and young
girl put up team at Paquet's stable on
India street. Mr.. Paquet thought the
couple might be the pair wanted and noti-
fed the police. Before the police got at
them the pair took the alarm. and left town
with their team. Officer Thrasher and Mr..
Paquet traced them to Yarmouth and ar
rested them. They were not the couple
wanted. but it seems they belonged in Wood
stock. Me- The man is named Charles H.
Buck and has wife and three children in
Woodstock. The girl is named Hattie E.
Rowe and she is only IT. She ran off with
BUCK. They confessed who they were
Saturday and Sheriff Wormell came from
Oxford county and took them back The
man will probably suffer for his escapeade.

A Gall TO the Pacific.

Rev. A. II. Wright. pastor of the St. Law
renee street church, has received call from
church on the Pacific slope. The call is
unanimous and urgent. The outlook for the
church is of the brightest. its membership
being united, enthusiastic and ready to ex.
tend hearty support to the man of their
choice.
We certainly voice the sentiment not only
the st. Lawrence street church and parish,
but that also of our citizens generally, ire
spective of UNCONVENTIONAL affinities, when
we express the hope that Mr.. Wright will
decide to remain in Portland. For almost
twenty years he has lived in this city, es.
teemed and beloved by all who knew him,
either personally or by reputation. AS
preacher and pastor he has rendered invalu.
able services to his people. As a citizen he
has shown in wise and practical way how
much he has at heart all the most vital inter-
ests of Portland. However great may be the
attractions on the Pacific slope, we trust they
will not prove of sufficient force to draw Mr.
Wright from the pastorate of the ST. Law.
renee street church and from citizenship in
Portland.

the Custom house and Col. f. N. Dow will
assume the duties of the Office. Collector
Anderson has held the esteem and respect Of
all persons doing business with the custom

few days ago the employees of the Office unit

presenting him an elegant gold-headed cane.
1t is understood Gen. Anderson will ulti-
mately make his residence at Bluffton, Ala.
If the report is true our citizens will deeply

a Good Change.
Under the above heading the following

Under the above heading the follOWine
item appeared in the Express of Thursday
The collector of this port has from time imme
nn oria oeen tne custodian Of the post Office ane
ing IN this city This entaied care add annoy
ance upon the collector without compensation
aud postmaster, who were obliged to prefer re.
quests for repairs, etc., through the collector
VINO of course had simply TO forward them witt
nient to all. and apparently advantageous to none
The engineer and ianitor of the building, though
actually selected by the postmaster, were nomi-
nally appointed by the collector.
Since the recent appointment of collector, Con
gresham Reed has desired to relieve that office
OF Inc custody OF the post office and custom
house building, and it has been accordingly
transferred from Collector Anderson to Post
and engineer Of the post office building directly
instead OF through the collector. It is a change
wncn cannot fall to be much more satisfactory 10
all concerned than the former cumbersome
method
The facts In the case are these. Mr.
Briggs, postmaster of Portland, was tender
ed the resignation of Mr.. Morgan, janitor OF
the post Office building. with request that
the position be filled by Saturday night Mr
Briggs had man DESTROYS of the position,
and he notified the custom house of the fact
Of the resignation and of the candidate
Collector Anderson had gone away, but Mr..
Briggs was informed as there would be a
change of collectors so soon the present Gus.
tom house authorities would leave the mat
ter with the new collector. Mr.. Briggs noti-
fed Mr.. Dow of the facts, and he replied
that he would investigate the matter. Mr..
Briggs had been to Boston and ascertained
that in New York the collector had ceased to
bn custodian Of the post office building,
and so with the collector and postmaster at
Boston, each managing his own building,
and 1t appeared evident that such proceed
ing would take place In all cities where first
class postmasters are appointed If the Gus
tom house and post Office buildings ARE sepa.
rate.
The same mail that brought Mr.. Dow's
answer to Mr.. Briggs letter brought let.
ter from the Secretary of the Treasury mott
flying Mr.. Briggs that he had been appointed
custodian of the post Office building and
court house, vice Samuel j. Anderson.
The Expresses insinuation that Speaker
Reed brought about the change is entirely
without foundation. A similar change has
been made in Boston and in New Bedford,
and we understand that it is the intention
of the government to make all first-class
postmasters custodians of the post office,
when the Office is In a different building
from that which contains the custom house.

A Lively Blaze.

Thursday afternoon, Miss Ethel Fox, who
resides at Mr. Clinton Bakers on Spring
street, was going out calling, and as she was
about to leave the house her laundry was
brought in. She told the woman to put it In
the closet In her room. While she was gone,
the rest of the family also having gone out,
leaving only the cook and housemaid In. the
housemaid smelled smoke and traced 1t to
the closet where the laundry had been placed
and which was found all ablaze. The cook,
with great presence Of mind, had all the
doors and win lows shut, and with the aid OF
some Of the neighbors the fire was confined
TO the closet, but all of Miss Fox's dresses
were destroyed and the room badly singed
and smoked.

What promises to be very interesting
competition opened yesterday by the offer Of
the Atkinson Company to deliver five fal
turkeys to any charity the public may decide
on by vote. Coupons are printed In all the
Portland papers, and the cutting Of them
out and sending them to the Atkinson Com

not otherwise give as the fullness of theil
hearts would dictate. To the puzzler or solver
of.problemsl is offered the simple question
"How many yards of carpet are on the At
kinson Company's carpet floor?" The near
