A Flood at Jericho.

cloudburst occurred at Jericho, soon
after four o'clock last Thursday afternoon,
and the Brown and Lee rivers were swelled
to such proportions that many bridges and
mills were swept away, and damage to the
extent of thousands Of dollars was done.
Seven of the nine bridges over the Lee
river were swept away, while two of the
five on the Brown river shared the same
fate and two more were rendered impass-
able. Many bridges and culverts on the
smaller streams of the vicinity were also
carried away. The highways were badly
damaged. Acres upon acres of corn, pota-
toes, oats, wheat, barley aud other crops
were totally submerged by the water, and
now that ii has Withdrawn, are covered by
muck and sand and strewn with the debris
of the mills and bridges. Full grown trees
were torn up by the roots and whirled down
the current like straws.
AT stowe, also, there was genuine
freshet, Friday afternoon the largest for
thirty years. The direct loss TO the town
and 10 individuals will be several thousand
dollars. Five bridges were washed out,
and Fosters tub factory was destroyed.
The crops on the low meadows were spoiled
Much damage was done in Underhill, the
bridge on the Brown river being carried
away.
The damage to railroad tracks was con-
siderable. The Burlington q Lamoille road
was cut up into sections, and the running
OF trains was out OF the question. Presi-
dent Smith and other officials of the Central
Vermont road visited the washouts on the
Lamoille division Saturday. Some $50 men
are engaged in the work Of rebuilding.

The water Commissioners.

On being asked what progress had been
made towards low water rates, Hon. G..
F. Emery of the commissioners, said
Saturday, that ever since the court had
granted the commissioners permission
to examine the books of the water com
pany an expert accountant has been bus
lily engaged going over them, and the
prospects now are that he will be so en-
gagged for several weeks to come. 1t is
an extensive job and requires a vast
deal of time and labor. After this &C
countant has finished his labors, the
commissioners will have to go personally
to many cities in New England and get
the water rates of the different compan-
les for comparison. After that it will be
time for the hearing. He thinks that the
commissioners will not be able to get
around to that until some time next JAN
uary or February.

A GOOD HEARTED WOMAN.
How Marie Tempest Treated Portland
Girl.

A story that speaks we'll for the good
heart of Marie Tempest, the popular
light opera prima donna, is related of her
in connection with a Portland girl. Miss
Tempest's Fencing Master company
was taking the long ride from Buffalo to
Philadelphia. The prima donna in her
Pullman car was surrounded with every
comfort to make her trip as agreeable as
possible, but it was long jaunt OF III
teen hours. Finally Miss Tempest got
tired of the solitude of her car and start
In one of the passenger coaches a pale
faced chorus girl, who Miss Tempest re-
membered as possessing an excellent
voice, was cuddled up in the corner OF
seat, apparently in pain, Big tears
were rolling down her cheeks and she
presented picture of general misery.
Miss Tempest saw it and was touched.
She sat down beside the suffering girl
and in few moments had ascertained
the cause of her trouble. 1t seems that
the young woman had received a tele-
gram just before she left Buffalo that her
mother was dangerously i'll in Portland.
The girl, of course, was dependent upon
her salary, and her position was depend
emit upon her presence with the company.
She was unable to 60 to her mother, even
had she been financially able. Her mother
was poor, and a certain portion of the
girls salary was sent to her every week.
Miss Tempest had the girl brought
back to the.drawing room car. had lunch
with her, comforted her only in the way
that one woman knows how to comfort
another, and at her own expense sent
kilograms to the sick woman, ordering
the answers to be sent back to the train
SO that the girl could have the latest in
formation regarding her mothers condi-
ton.

Mr.. M. S. Gibson, formerly of the

1t is matter of regret in military and
social circles to learn that Sergt. W. W..
Cookson of this city, is about to leave
Portland to take up his residence in
Boston. He has very lucrative opening
there with Mr.. F. Fl. Allen, who was for
merly manager of the Lakeside Press in
this city. He goes to Boston today.
Hon. George NJ. Soldiers, chairman of
the Republican city committee, was in
Boston last week to secure speakers for
meeting which it is proposed to hold
here before the campaign closes. His
mission was unsuccessful, the campaign
in New York and Massachusetts having
pretty well monopolized all the available
material. 1t is expected, however, that
some speakers will be secured later and
meeting held. 81

TONIGHT is4known as "Hal-
loween" and devoted to practices
peculiar to itself.
1t is relic of pagan times.
Spirits are supposed to walk
abroad, and maidens seek to
discover by various means whe-
Their their lovers are faithful.
Nuts and apples are in general
demand and the juveniles dis
play their skill by catching with
their teeth the apples floating in
tub of water.
How sort of Natural for some
people to think that goods foreign
bought are best. Many of our peo-
pie think they must send to Boston
for Children's Clothing. Boston peo-
pie think New York best, and New
York must have London.
Chances are if you will take thee
trouble to call at your home store yoyl
will find the same thing at less price,
or we can order any speciality yog
may like and save you money, bel
sides leaving the profit at home. ;
Don't you get your money in Port
land? Then help Portland merchants
to keep it here.

Up to the present time the will Of the
late Horatio N. Jose has not been offered
for probate; but it probably will be
within a few days. 1t is understood that
there is but one public bequest; which is
said to be $4,000 to the Maine General
Hospital in which Mr.. Jose was much
interested. The estate is said to be left
in trust to three trustees, Messrs. Frank
lin R. Barrett, who is to be financial
manager, Frank Dudley Lunt, who is to
be accountant, and Richard Webb, who
is to be legal adviser. 1t is reported
that Kotzschmar hall and the house on
High street, of the zeal estate, goes to
Mrs. Jose, while the residue of the real
estate will be equally divided between

A Verdict for Defendant in the Pease-
Burrowes Trial.


As was foreshadowed in Saturdays
PRESS, the verdict of the jury in the
Pease-Burrowes case was for the defend
ant There was not little excitement
in the court room when the verdict was
rendered Judge Walton warned the
spectators against any demonstrations,
but George II. Davis, W. W. Cole, and F.
M. Strout, all friends of Mr.. Burrowes,
could not restrain their exultant feelings
and burst into applause. Judge Walton
ordered their arrest, and fined Davis S.
and the others 81 EACH They paid their
money over to the clerk, but subsequent
ly they apologized to the court and their
fines were remitted.
Counsel for the plaintiff have filed a
motion for new trial on the following
grounds:
1.-The verdict was against the law and the
charge of the justice.
HIT was against the evidence.
Hill was manifestly against the weight of
evidence in the case.
Exceptions, will also be taken on the,
ground that Judge Walton admitted that
part of the evidence of Mrs. Pease which
was given in cross-examination. There
is also a claim that new evidence has
been discovered. The arguments for a
new trial will be made before the law
court in this city next July.
