IRVING ARRAlGNED.
He and Ford Said to Have Been Con-
cerned in the Gorham Burglaries.

AT half-past II o'clock yesterday, the
burglar Irving, was brought from Greedy
hospital in hack in the charge of Mar
shall SWEET and Officer Dana Miles, 1t
had been the intention to have his pic
ture taken, but he had quite severe
sick turn during Monday night and 1t
wasn't deemed advisable.
Irving wore handsome dressing
gown with silk cord and tassels, Russia
leather slippers, and over his shoulders
was thrown a thick blanket. The bur
glar looked pale and feeble from the eff
fects of the wounds administered by Of
ficer Firth, yet he was able to walk with
firm step.
Irving was asked if he would like
counsel, butreplied that he didn't see
what good q lawyer could do him. At
noon he was taken into the municipal
court room and placed in the prisoner
dock. Judge Gould asked him if he I'M
derstood the nature of the complaint, as
sault with intent to kill, and would
waive the reading of it. He said he UNI
derstood, and County Attorney Robinson
informed the judge that Irving would
plead not guilty and waive an examina-
ton. Recorder Tompson announced
that the court would find probable cause
against him and ordered that he furnish
bail in the sum of $4,000. OF course II
wing was unable to give bail, so he was
turned over to the custody of Sheriff
Cram and taken to the county jail. His
case will come before the grand jury in
the Superior Court next month.
G. J. Ford, the supposed partner of
Irving, will be arraigned this morning.
been diligently searching for evidence to
connect him with the actual burglaries
committed by Irving. 1t seems certain
that Ford was not in the city when
Nash's clothing store was robbed and
that he was also out of town, at Che
beague, on the night when Irving fell
into Officer Frith's hands. But it has
now been ascertained that Irving was
one of the two men who robbed the
Gorham post office and the Portland &
Rochester station in that town.
In the satchels were found some of the
articles stolen from the Rochester sta
tiou and considerable quantity of
stamps, amounting to over $25, which
the burglars had obtained at the post
office. Some of the booty obtained at
the post Office has been found among
Irving's effects since he was captured.
This identifies him as one of the Gorham
robbers, and the officers think they have
evidence enough to convict Ford of being
his companion.
AS a matter of fact, Irving admits that
he was one of the Gorham thieves, and
he says Ford was the other. Irving
speaks in the utmost contempt of Ford
and says he is rank coward ;

MILITARY COURT MARTIAL.
Lieutenant Seiderquest Was an Obstruct-
ionist, So Charges Were Preferred
Against Him.


A military court martial. with all its
pomp and glitter, assembled in this city
yesterday. The court consists of the
following officers of the Maine militia:
Regiment, of Biddeford; Major Frederick
II. Storah of Auburn, and Acting Major
Timothy Z. Hartnett of Portland. Lieu
tenant Colonel Winfield S. Choate of Au-
gusta acted as judge advocate. The
members of the court appeared in uni
form and held their sessions yesterday at
the armory of the Portland Light In
fantry. The occasion Of the court was
the fact that Captain George A. Dow of
the Infantry had preferred charges
against Second Lieutenant w. I. Solder
quest of the company. The real trouble
with Lieutenant Seiderquest seems to be
that he does not take interest IN his du-
ties and will not resign to give place to
some one who will take interest. His at
titude as an obstructionist became very
unpleasant and charges were preferred.
Lieutenant Seiderquest defended him.

dered some time the last of the week.
Tomorrow the court will convene in
Augusta to inquire into the general con-
dition of the company in that city.

exercises, opening the sixth days session
of the triennial Episcopal convention
were conducted by the Rt Rev Phillips
Brooks, d. D.. LII. D. bishop of Massa-
chusetts, and Rev. p. b. Blightner, of
Delaware.
In the House of Deputies the usual
committee reports were received Rev.
DR.. Huntington. of New York. reported
favorably the resolution TO set apart
Western Colorado as a missionary juris-
diction.
Much discussion was brought about
by the introduction of resolution to
translate the prayer book into the
Swedish, Portuguese and other Ian
guages. Mr.. Brown, of Long Island, said
there were only two copies of the prayer
book in Portuguese in existence, and that
missionary work in Brazil is greatly
hampered thereby. Dr. Locke, of Chicago,
spoke of the necessity for a Swedish YER
sion for use in that city and the con-
blHuouo country
In the forty fourth resolution of the
proposed prayer book changes it was pro
posed to shorten by the omission of va
rious phrases the form and manner of
making and ordaining bishops, etc The
resolution was lost.
The question was called for as soon as
the reading of the forty fifth reso ution
ceased, and it was voted on without com
ment 1t provides for the insertion of
the Nicene creed in the ordaining of
priests. 1t was adopted.
Resolution 46, regarding the conse-
Grafton of bishops and the omission OF
long phrases for shorter ones was carried
by a large vote. The 47th resolution
was carried without debate. 1t makes a
few changes in the litany and order
for the administrat ion of the Lords Sup
per
No 48 provided for the printing Of the
Gloria Patri at the end of Psalm XIV
and No 40 for the omission of tn,
words Performance of" in the prayer al
the conservation of a church or chapel
They were carried by an almost unani
nous vote.
The fiftieth resolution omts the four
rubrics after the Gospel after the con-
secration of churches. 1t was adopted.
The next resolution makes a substitu
tion in the prayer preceding the bene
diction in the same service. II was car
ried. The fifty second and last resolu.
tion changes the numbers Of the psalms
in the psalter. 1t was adopted.
