The large two story house, barn and
outbuildings owned by Renjamin Pollard
were destroyed by fire on Friday after
noon. The origin of the fire is hardly
known although it is supposed that as a
new fire was kindled but short time be-
fore the barn was discovered to be on fire
that spark from the chimney settled on
the roof of the barn and was famed into
flame by the high wind which prevailed
at that time. No insurance. The loss
of this house destroys one of the few an
cient landmarks left in our town. The
house, so say our older inhabitants, was
nearly a hundred years old and for years
| was known as the famous" JonesT Taven."
In days long since gone by the beautiful
green before its then imposing front, was
| doubtless, the scene of bustling activity
Many times has the coach with it's pranc-
ing horses discharged and received its
passengers before its hospitable door,
and without doubt many famous per-
sonage has been lodged beneath it's roof.

being an attractive resting place to the

Portland High School Ball Players Beaten
by westbrook iSeminarians.

The Portland High Schools received a
defeat at the hands of the Westbrook
Seminarians ON the Portland grounds
Saturday afternoon. The first three in
nings gave evidence of an exciting game,
but the superior stickwork of the Semi
narians, and the numerous errors of the
P. H. SIS, made the game rather sicken-
ing for the admirers of the Portland High
Schools. Following is the score:
WESTBROoK SEMINARY
The Portland daily press., 1892-05-09

Plummer. Mr.. Plummer went to Linn
ington at once, but very quietly, so that
his connection with the case should not
be known there generally. Everyone
suspected some member of the Godfrey
family, but there seemed to be no piece
of evidence that would warrant an arrest
or give any hope of conviction if the ar
rest should be made. But Mr.. Plummer
looked the premises over carefully, noted
some things which the interested but not
particularly skilfful volunteer detectives
of the neighborhood had not seen, and
came back to Portland, intending to re-
turn in day or two. when the neighbor-
hood should have quieted down some
what.
But the fseighborhood did not quiet
down readily. The Friday night after
the robbery was committed, a great wind
prevailed, and the doors of the
barn were blown open. The next morn
ing the neighborhood was all agog over
the occurrence; and the next night seven
or eight neighbors with shot guns guard
ed the premises. The excitement spread,
all the circumstances of the case, espe-
ciayy the suspicious against the God
fri Is, were talked over the town; and
naturally got to the ears of the Godfrey
family very soon.
The Godfreys on their part seemed de-
termined to live down suspicion. The
men worked more regularly than ever,
and they did not seem to be very flush
with money, although neighbors who
called on them fancied that they seemed
to enjoy more of the comforts of life
than usual. The town offered reward
for the apprehension of the robber, and
this still further added to Deputy Sheriff
Plummer' S embarrassment,a as it increased
the caution Of the suspected parties and
sent other detectives to the scene. Itwas
even reporled in the Biddeford papers
that young Benjamin Clark Godfrey had
been arrested. 1t was not SO; but served
to make the young man in question more
circumspect than ever. He had served
his time in State Prison and was too old
a bird to be caught by hue and cry.
Mr.. Plummer determined to abide his
time; but meanwhile sent to Boston for
Mr.. John F. Newbegin, a skilful detect
i've. And here tho matter seemed to
rest. 1t became an old story in Lining.

urer Strout recovered and went his way
as usual, and the Godfrey family also
continued in their old habits.
On the sixteenth of February middle
aged man, with bis wife and boy, the
latter aged about eleven years. arrived at
Limington and registered as John Free
man, Boston. The family seemed to
have no particular business in that por-
ton of the country, but paid their bills
promptly and SO of course were accepta-
BILE guests. The hotel keeper failed to
find out much about them, and used, in
speaking to his neighbors, to refer to ibis
guests as

The opening league game in this city
will be played on the Portland grounds
this afternoon, when the Pawtuckets will
be the opponents of the home club. The
Pawtuckets are one of the strongest clubs
in the league and good game may be
expected today. Billy Annis is working
hard, coaching our club, and he will make
winners of them. The many friends of
Capt. Annis will turn out in good num-
bers today and give him rousing recep-
ton. Tobin and Platt will probably be
in the points for the home club. Ladies
will be admitted free. Turn out and
give the boys welcome home. The
game will be called at o'clock.

tThem Conundrnms."

Subsequently the wife and boy returned
to Boston, leaving Mr.. Freeman alone.
He soon left the hotel and went to board
with Mr.. G. E. Demick. 1t so happened
that young Benjamin Clark Godfrey was
working for Mr.. Demicl1 and as the weeks
went by Freeman and Godfrey became
very intimate. To the people of Lining
ton Mr.. Freeman continued .'conun-
drum" but Godfrey did not share in
their speculations. He knew Freeman;
that he was crook from the big cities; a
man skilled in the very business that
Godfrey himself seems to have wished to
follow in field wider than Limington.
AS their intimacy progressed Godfrey
seems to have dwelt considerably upon
his desire to get in with the aristocratic
city crooks who, as he supposed,
made more money than could be
mode in a place where town treasurers
are not numerous; and grow boastful of
what he had done, confding to Freeman
the circumstances of his robbery of
Strout. Freeman pronounced it good
job, done in a way that showed nerve
and courage.
Freeman had pal to whom he often
referred, and with whom he sometimes
met in Portland. This pal was repre-
sented as very nervy fellow whose ex-
ploits would make very interesting
chapter; andIGodfrey was only too anx-
ious to meet such redoubtable crook as
the pal was understood to be. So meet
ings were arranged, and Godfrey soon
found himself on confidential terms with
two men whom he supposed to be the
two slickest city crooks he ever dreamed
of. To them he told the story of the
| robbery of Strout.
Young Benjamin G. Godfrey, accord
ing to the story which he told his newly
found acquaintance, had made himself
familiar with Mr.. Strout's habits some
time before the second of last December.
He knew that Strout carried money with
! him, and that it was his custom to visit
| the barn just after dark each night. On
the evening of December End, Godfrey
went to the Strout place entered the
barnyard, reconnoitered the premises
and took his stand in the shed which ex-
tended along one side of the barnyard.
There he waited until Mr.. Strout appear
ed and entered the barn. Godfrey then
stole across the yard and took his stand
by the Inter door, SO as to be on the
right hand side of and little behind Mr..
1 Strout as he should come out and start
for the house.
Mr.. Strout came out, Godfrey delivered
the blow, and as
His Victim Fell,
ran his hand into his inside pocket and
took the pocket book with its $3.50 and
other valuables.
Godfrey did not at once flee. He
seems to have been perfectly cool, and
fertile in resources to escape detection.
He went into the barn, unhitched the
horse, which was a very spirited animal,
led it out through the yard and through
the gate which led into the highway.
Once in the highway he threw the halter

Nor were the thoughts entirely new,

tests against the new regime put in little
different form, and pointed with touch
of criticism of the stand that Rev. III. M.
Simmons took in this matter in his last
Sundays discourse. He disagreed with
the eminent liberal most emphatically.
His course was confounding of vague
ness with virtue and laxity with liber-
alism; and, with all Difference to his
abilities along many lines, he could not
see how he could hold to such opinions.
Then followed the threShing of the old
straw OF argument. Again he put his
foot down against the allowing of the
sister teachers to wear their religious
dress in the school room. He would
have just as good right to put his dea-
cons all arrayed in their baptismal robes
and rubber suits over IN the Whittier
school as teachers. as the school board

order in the Saltwater schools.

was not as lonesome for him while en-

with his sermon, he told the story of

LATROBE A LOOLoo.
A Young Baltimorian Gets Into an
Asylum.

my Auhs
BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 24.-Mr. T.
Swan Latrobe, the scion of one of
Maryland's aristocratic families and for
many years kno as Baltimore's
representative society leader, is confined
at the Sheppard asylum, victim of
dissipation. This announcement today
Ill connection with the further state
ment that Mr.. Latrobe has been in
definitely suspended from the Maryland
club, of which he has been leading
member and governor for years, and
that he is addicted to the morphine and
choral habits, has caused a sensation.
Swami Latrobe is the son of Ferdinand
Latrobe, who is now filling his sixth term
as mayor of this city, and it was he who
caused the young mans cOmmittal to
the asylum. About week ago young
LatrObe went to New York, where he
was an old member of the Union club of
that city. He therefore occupies the
unusual position of being made menu
Der of one of the SWEETEST clubs in
America. and suspended from another
upon the same day for disgrace

will it Is said, at its next
meeting, expel Mr.. Latrobe. Long
continued abuse of club privileges had
been tolerated from Mr.. Latrobe, but
last weeks attempt to assault Gil
mer Meredith, the president of the
club, resulted in Latrobe's eject
ment. The disgraced man inherited
an income of $4,000 a year from his
mother, daughter of the late Gov.
Thomas Swami, but this was always in
sufficient for his needs. and his income
is said to be mortgaged for years in adj
vance-to note shavers. This condition
naturally worried the gentleman, and
his friends say that he has been par

Progress of Arrangements for a

Progress of Arrangements for q
Benefit for the Andrews.
The arrangements for benefit for the
be maturing in a successful manner A
prominent member of the press wired
George Andrews Friday evening in
quirIng if a benefit would be
in order. An answer was re-
ceived in which the Andrews boys
thankfully accepted the proposition.
Mr.. ChOate, the Temple court lawy er, is
an intimate friend of the Andrews boys,
and on his return from recent visit to
Brainerd announced that the condition
of their affairs was great deal worse
than has been represented in the news
paper reports of the unfortunate acct
dent. Their continued bad business at
the Lyceum. and their Indifferent bust
ness at Duluth and other cities, left
them in a badly depleted financial con-
dltion. The railroad company is at
present paying their expenses, but
unless settlement is effected
favorable to the company it is probable
that support from this end will drop.
The Andrews boys were very popular
personally during their Minneapolis ell
gagement, and several prominent gen.
tlemen have volunteered their support
in connection with the benefit perform
ance that is proposed to be given at the
BijOu. Manager Lift has generously
rendered the use of the Biiou free of

THE PARoCHIAL SCHOOLS.

Discusses Them.

Rev. Il. III. Morey, of Saltwater,
Discusses Them.
Rev. l.. III. Morey, of Saltwater, ex-
changed pulpits with Rev. d. S. Nc
Cartin yesterday, and last evening
treated the people of Minneapolis to his
views upon the transfer of the Catholic
parochial schools. the title of his dis
course being 1.-THE History of Roman
Catholic Opposition to Public Schools. I"
His discourse was hardly as spirited
as was expected, and not by any means
as much so as recent sermons Oh this
same subject by local ministers.
He called attention to the fact that in
the selection of school boards no one
was selected because of his religion,
and that the teachers could not legally
be selected on account of their religion.
Such a course would breed q religious
rivalry which would break up the pub
lie school system. Speaking of religion
in the schools, he said:
I'm the parochial schools religion is
taught, but it is the Catholic religion.
The entire cause of complaint among
the Catholics, stripped of all DISCUSSES.
is that the religion is not taught in the
public schools, and they base their de-
mand for share of the public funds
upon that ground, which is antagonistic
to the principles separating church and
state.
At last this end has been attained in
very ingenious way-by simply chang
ing the name of the parOchial school to
public school and taking down the pict-
ureS. However, the most striking of
all pictures, the nuns garb, beads and
cruclhXeS are retained.
Either the failure to divide the school
fund is unjust or this Saltwater arrange
ment is,
