"Excuse me, if you please; cannot
go down."
The dull, heavy step descended the
stairs and entered the hall below. Mr.
E. began to conjecture that a band
of forgers or smugglers had made the
place their abode, and, being aware of
his proximity, wished to inveigle him
into their power in order to insure his
silence. His sensations were becoming
very unenviable; but the pause was
brief, for again he heard the step as
cending-if possible, heavier and slower
than before; and again the three sullen
knocks were given.
"What do you want?'
"The master wants you down to sup
peru
''Tell him I have already supped and
do not wish for more" replied Mr..
E., alarmed at this pertinacity.
The step departed as before, and he
distinguished angry voices in loud de-
bate below. We're their designs hostile,
how could he hope to escape? Egress,
unperceived, was utterly impossible. It
is curious to note, in cases Of emergen-
cies, how many plausible schemes will
present themselves to the mind, which.
in placid moments, would never be
dreamed of. So, many plan did he re-
volve in a minute, but to put one in exc
cution was out Of the question. He was
prisoner, and clearly in the clutches Of
his enemies, for such they must be. His

but the company desire boat As feet

at once, and she will be ready for deliv-

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Lorenzo d. Knight of westbroo1s Struck
by Train.

Last evening Jewett's train and the
FLYING Yankee were both little late
coming into Portland over the Maine
Central and about half past six Mr.
Lorenzo Knight approached the crossing
at Cobb's laue, Deering, driving two
yokes of oxen attached to a very heavy
load of timber. He evidently supposed
the trains had passed. Jewett's had
gone ahead, but the Yankee had not
reached the crossing, but was close onto
it, going at a fair rate of speed.
As Mr.. Knight reached the crossing,
and the leading yoke of oxen had
stepped onto the track, the head light of
the engine was seen just at hand.
Knight sprang forward to drive the oxen
off the track and, as he did so, the en-
CINE struck him and also the yoke of OK
en-. MI. Knight was instantly killed.
His skull was badly fractured, he had an
arm broken and received bad cuts in the
face and leg. The yoke of oxen was also
killed, but the other yoke was not in
jured.
Rich's ambulance brought the body of
Mr. Knight to the city and Coroner Per-
~ was called. He will hold an inquest
next Tuesday. Mr.. Knight was mover
of buildings and lived on Longfellow
Street, Westbrook. He was go years of

DEsuLToRY SHOOTING.
Frank ConIey Threatens Several Lives
With His Revolver.

Yesterday afternoon, about O'Clock,
mercial street, near the corner of High
street. Frank Conley, otherwise known
as Frank Reardon, young man about %
years of age, went into Mrs. Delong's
house, near the corner of High and Com
mercial streets, in a partially intoxicated
condition, and, according to Mrs. De-
longs story, was very quarrelsome and
would not leave the house, but drew
revolver with which he threatened to
shoot several members of the family. In
fact he put the weapon three times to
the head of Mr.. belong, who is said to
be quite an old man and cripple. Later
he fired the revolver at a young girl en-
ployed in the kitchen, but fortunately
the shot did not hit her.
The women ran shrieking from the
house, and Conley followed them Mr..
Decelle, the one-legged Waterman at the
Boston & Maine flag station at that
point intercepted Conley, and asked him
what he was trying to do and if he
wasn't ashamed of himself. Conley
asked what business it was of his, ond
struck him over the head with the revolt
yer, inf1icting cut over the eye. He
also fired the revolver at him. A gentle
man in Frank Dudley's Office near by,
hearing the shots, looked out of the
window and saw Decelle backing up the
track while Conley followed, pointing a
revolver at him. A crowd began to gath
er, and Conley dropped the revolver by
the track and fed to John w. Best's
buildings to hide himself.
In the meantime a Frenchmau, seeing
the affair, ran up the street till he found
Officer Thrasher, and told him there
was shooting scrape going on. Thrash
er and the Frenchman, Mr. Roche,
jumped into a mans wagon standing
near. and he drove them down to Best's.
When they got there Conley saw them,
and ran up High street, through Ste
vens's court to Danforth street, and
thence to house next to Clancy's-
which stands on the corner OF Maple
street. Here he plunged down the eel
lar steps and pulled the doors down af-
ter him. Thrasher sprang on the doors
and called to the bystanders to get Off
Ger Sylvester, to guard any outlet that
might exist from the house elsewhere,
but before Sylvester arrived Conley tried
