Two of "Bogy's" Stone-Cutters.
One rather aged, whose hair is sill
vered by the touch Of Time, and who
has seen the lightning's flash and
heard the thunder's roar many sum-
mers, and another who, though ten
derer in years, is evidently no novice
in the business, determined last Mon
day evening to take the initiatory
steps toward a temperance reforma-
ton. Accordingly, after long fight,
hard and bitter fight against King
Alcohol, and finding themselves ut
terly powerless to down the monster,
they renowned him on the evening
above named by appearing before
"Acting" Justice H. @. Hart and bid
ding him administer to them the fol-
lowing oath, which he graeiously did
they solemnly swearing to stand by it
come veal, come woe. This leaves
"Bogys" number of Sunday-schoo
scholars diminished by two, and il
the event that these two disregard
their oath, they leave themselves liza

The Carriers Outing,

The carriers of the PRESS and Argus went
to Long Island Saturday, on their second
annual picnic. About 60 were In the party,
all regular carriers and their substitutes.
The Casco Bay line kindly furnished spec
ial boat as an error was made in not getting
to the wharf in season for the early trip.
The day was enjoyably spent In contests
and races for prizes. the winners being as
follows:

Throwing hammer-Morton, list; Morse, I'd.
Throwing hall-Smart, list; Small, I'd.

by one run, the score standing 10 to Q. They
did not play their half of the last inning,
however. the score at the end of the last
even inning standing 10 OF. The non arri-
val of the PRESS boys pitcher until after the
first inning was disastrous to them as the
Argus boys received eight of their 10 runs in
the first inning. The game was called in
fifth innings for lack of time to finish,

to which the boys did ample justice, They
returned by the 5.05 boat and in passing the

Excursion to Erxebura.

The excursion to the beautiful grounds of
the Maine ChautauQua Union Saturday
which called out goodly number of people
from Portland and way stations, was voted
by all decided success. The excursionists
arrived at Fryeburg at 1c.45 a. In. and were
quickly and easily transported by the Frye
burg horse railroad to the Chautauoua
grounds.
The June days with their attendant show
ers and warm suns, have brought the
grounds to a condition we'll fitted to furnish
rest to both weary body and mind, for with
the trees In full leaf, the rank. fresh grass
and the hracing mountain air, there is no
more beautiful place on the line of the Maine
Central Railroad.
The large number Of excursionists were
soon lost among the naples and the mary
lovely hooks anxiously waiting for dinner
and the hot coffee which was promised and
glimpse into the kitchen showed that the
prospect OF coffee was more than promise,
for the stalwart forms of the gentlemen who
are to have the charge of the dining rooms,
lowering over the stoves, looked like bust
ness.
Dinner was eaten in groups in all parts of
the grounds and only few baskets of frag-
ments were left The rest of the day
was devoted to enjoying the beautiful
grounds and clear air, and making promises
to attend the assembly which begins July
18th, continuing till August 9th. The eve
ming train returned the travellers, tired but
highly pleased with their trip.

A Newspaper Thief Caught.

For some time past people in the vicinity
OF the square bounded by Congress, State,
Gray ard Park streets, have missed their
morning papers. The thief was not content
to steal one or two papers every morning,
but he 'sco0ped In" all he could lay his
hands on. At 1.-THE Sherwood" large
bundle of papers left for the boarders was
taken. At the Mussey boarding house, six
teen, we believe, in one morning, formed a
part of the fellows plumber. The usual eff
forts to detect the thief failed. Finally one
of the PRESS staff went on detective service.
He saw the thief noticed his dress, and fol-
lowed him. The chap. seeing he was watched
ran and succeeded in escaping. His descrip-
tion, however, was given to the police. Sat
urday night officers Smith and McGrath
were called to the corner of Park and Com
mercial streets to disperse crowd. Smith
happened to see a lad about IA years old
standing close by him, who was recognized
by him at once as the newspaper thief from
the accurate description afforded him. He
seized the lad by the collar and taxed him
with the theft. At first the boy denied the
charge st0utly. but soon confessed that he
took the papers. His name is Malcolm Mac
Donald. Officer Smith took him home and
agreed to let him stay there until this MORN
ing, on the agreement: of his father to pro-
duce him in court at that time to answer to
the charge. Officer Smith is to be congratu-
lated on securing the thief.

THE YORK CASE.
George =. York Bound over in
$4,000.

George F. York, charged with maliciously
setting fire to the house of j. M. c. York at
South Portland on Friday morning last, was
brought before Judge Gould of the Munich
pal Court Saturday morning He pleaded
not guilty to the charge. County ATTORNEY
Robinson appeared for the government and
w. ID. Looney for the defendant.
Mrs. York, the prisoners wife, testified
tnat she had been married to the respondent
Tor four years past. he came home from
fishing trip fortnight ago. and had been in
toxicated great part of the time since. Last
wednesday he drove her from the house and
sue LOOK refuge with the Sawyer family in
the tenement up stairs. Thursday he was
more abusive than ever, and at night after
supper threatened her with personal VOL
ence. She took her child, ami sought refuge
with the Sawyer's, he saying ''he would get
even with her and burn her out" She tasti-
fed that she went to sleep on lounge in Mr..
Sawyer's dining room. and about 10 p. m.
she heard her husband come in. Towards
morning she heard hammering down stairs.
and she supposed he was putting a lock he
had bought on the closet door under the
front stairs in the hallway Then she heard
her husband cry out, ''Mr. Sawyer, is there
fire up stairsp" and the witness, replied, "If
there is. you have setit." She went out into
the hall and saw the fire streaming from the
closet. She smelled kerosene, and remarked
that when she filled the lamps the day before
she wondered where all the kerosene had
gone to.
Mr.. j. s. Sawyer testified that he saw the
fire streaming from the closet between the
plastering and outer wall He had never
heard York make any threats.
Mrs. Sawyer testified that she had forbid
den York to enter her house on account of
his character; that she smelled kerosene at
the fire, and had heard York say, 81 have
separated you"
Mr.. Looney waived further examination.
This closed the testimony. Mr.. Robinson
asked, as the charge ranked in atrocity al
most with murt er, that large bail be required,
and Judge Gould bound over Mr.. York in
the sum of $1,000.

The MackereI.

As yet the bulk Of the fish caught have
been off the coast Of Nova Scotia and In the
North Bay, very few fish being seen off our
coast or caught in the weirs. The arrivals
from the fleet at Gloucester the past week
have been as follows: Schooner Agnes e.
Downes, 800 barrels mackerel; Edith Rowe,
266; Sen. Morgan, 400; S. E. Maker, 800;
Emma w. Broth, 800; Loitie M. Haskins,
175; Harry G. French, 1870; Gov. Butler, $50;
Sales from vessels at $13 to S14 per barrel.
Up to date the vessels In the south have got
nothing but a few struggling mackerel The
total catch Of mackerel by the fleet to date is
2,425 barrels, against 40 barrels last year,
2,644 barrels in 1888, LILO barrels in 1887.
2.742 barrels in 1886. and 21,1S6 barrels in
1885.
The bulk of the new mackerel caught are
large fish, but as usual of the spring catch,
are thin in flesh. They grade large 3's, plain
and trimmed, as they are dressed. The price
from second hands is about $1450 for plain,
and $15 for trimmed. The stock of old fish is
on so slow basis that it is used simply as
factor to hammer down prices.
