FILLING THE FLATS.
Work Progressing Satisfactorily on the
Annex to the Oaks.

The flats between the Oaks and the
Rochester track are affording busy
scenes these days. The work of filling
in has nearly been completed up to the
required grade.
The trench for the sewer which is to
be laid was begun Monday by crew of
Is men, under Mr.. Eugene McGillicud-
dy. The trench is to be about 1900 feet
in length, and the sewer will be built
stoutly of planks, and will be five feet
square upon the inside. A timber frame
sustains this fume, and on the frame,
inside and out, will be two thicknesses
of three-inch hemlock planking, making
foot of solid planling that will be be-
tween the sewer channel and the earth
without MI. McGillicuddy thinks that
a plank sewer so built should last life
time.
Yesterday they were keeping the
trench free of water by steam syphon,
a Portland & Rochester locomotive af-
fording the steam. Later, rotary
pump, to be run by a boiler from the
derrick car, will be put in.

A DAY FOR FITS.
Strange Evolutions of the Horse that Had
Business in Mr.. RandaIps Ofice-A
Poor Fellow Astonished North Street
Citizens Last Evening.

A horse in a fit caused considerable ex-
element on Commercial street about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The horse
was small, light bay animal, name I'M
known, that is seen much about Port
lands streets drawing light market
wagon marked Long Wharf Fish Com
pany." A Mr.. Brewster, who works for
Mr.. Henry Trefethen, was driving the
horse. When the team was near the foot
OF Centre street the horse began to dis
play the symptoms of a fit. A horse in a
fit is liable to do unaccountable things,
and is about as awkward and dangerous
an animal as man ever handles. The
light bay began its fit by dashing down
Commercial street at headlong pace I'M
til opposite MI. j. F. Randall's coal Of
fee. AT that point the horse changed
its straight ahead cours to rotary mo-
ton, and, after spinning around two or
three times, dashed off on a tangent
which pointed straight for Mr.. Randall's
Office. The crazed animal reached the
OOOl ttiltl WCat Ill eto 1dI otS UlIO WdZOu
tached would letit Those in the office
showed disposition to be generous with
the horse in matter of room, but the af-
fair was finally adjusted by getting the
team back into the middle of the street.
And then again the horse, after going a
few feet, betook himself to a rotary mo-
ton and went off on another tangent.
This time he pointed for narrow
space between two small buildings on
the right hand side of the street. Into
this space he threw himself as far as the
wagon would let him go. Mr.. Brewster
had already been thrown off, and a young
man near by volunteered to get between
the buildings and relieve the horse by
bleeding his mouth. This was done, the
horse was relieved and was soon able to
continue it's rounds.
A Man Had Fit on North Street.
People in the vicinity of North street
were considerably excited early last eve
ming by the strange actions of a man af-
ficted by fit. The fit began by doub-
ling the poor fellow up until he was at a
right angle, then it impelled him to dash
at h eadlong speed while in this position.
Pedestrians hastily got off the Sidewalk
as he dashed along. After going several
blocks he suddenly dashed into the mid
die of the street and threw himself into a
completely erect position, standing as if
riveted to the ground. A wondering
crowd quickly gathered about him. FL
nally police officer took him to his
home on Washington street, where he
recovered.

Only Half Divorced.

A romantic suit came up before Judge
Lathrop in the Supreme Judicial Court,
Boston, on Wednesday. Twenty-four
years ago Maria q. Bolton obtained di-
vorce from her husband, Elmer Bolton.
About Is months later Mrs. Bolton mar
ried Marshall J. Egery of Bangor, with
whom she lived happilysuntil 1887, when
Mr.. Egery died. The couple had one
daughter by this marriage. A short
time ago Mr.. Egery's mother died in
Barre, leaving handsome little property
which, in the ordinary course of the law,
would go in part to the daughter as the
representative of her deceased father.
Mrs. Egery, however, and her daughter
were told that the latter was illegitimate.
An investigation followed, and it was
discovered that Clerk Wilde had never
presented to the court the petition, and
that the decree nisi in connection with
the divorce had never been made abso-
lutte, so that the marriage was illegal.
The case was continued to get additional
PARTICULARS from Lawyer Appleton of
Bangor.

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC.
Van Horne Says 1t win Not Amalgamate
with the Grand Trunk.

The eleventh annual meeting OF the
shareholders of the Canadian Pacific
railway was held at the Offices OF the
company in Montreal Wednesday. The
statement of W. c. Van Horne, the pres
ident, in regard to rumors OF amalgama-
ton OF the Canadian Pacific railway with
the Grand Trunk had beeu looked for
ward to with great interest and brought
a large attendance at the meeting. Mr..
Van Horne took exception to Sir Henry
Tyler''s president of the Grand Trunk)
illusions that the Canadian Pacific rail-,
way was endeavoring to obtain control
of that line, and said that even if the
country would stand such thing-and
he did not believe the country would
the directors of the Canadian Pacific
railway would under no circumstances
recommend an amalgamation. He also
defended the course of the Canadian Pa
cific in regard to the rate OF interest on
certain bonds of the Minneapolis and Pa
cific railroad, now part of the Mime
apolis, st. Paul g. Saulte Ste. Marie road,
and denied that the company had gone
back on its obligations there.
The gross earnings for the year were
$40, PA, 095; the working expenses, $12,-
231, 436; net earnings, $8,009,659; total
surplus carried forward, $4,701 500; sales
of Canadian Pacific railway lands last
year, 72,674 acres for s294.875; sales of
Manitoba 6 Southwestern railway lands,
24,566 acres for $4,000. The president
drew a,hopeful picture of the future,
principally because, as the report states,
anything like general competition was
practically impossible"
Mr.. James Morrison criticised the
course of the directors in not making the
report public earlier, SO that the share
holders could see it before they came to
the meeting Hesalso blamed the presi-
dent and vice president for sending out
circulars to shareholders asking for their
proxies. The old board of directors
were reelected.

Fire on Pleasant Street.

The alarm from box 6. at about p. m.
yesterday, was caused by slight fire in
closet in house occupied by Daniel
Hieber, baker, on Pleasant street. Some
clothes in closet caught fire in some
unexplainable manner. They were quick
ly extinguished by chemical extin-
guisher attached to Hose No. 5. This
extinguisher was sent to Chief Norton for
trial. 1t holds three gallons. Water is
put in and pound of soda. Attached
to the cover of the extinguisher is bot
tie filled with acid. When the cover is
turned it breaks the bottle and the acid
goes into the water in the extinguisher,
and by a hose connecting with it the
stream is put on the flames. Yesterdays
fire was extinguished with the machine
in a few moments and without loss by
water. The damage was nominal. The
extinguisher costs $2S. In Boston two
are carried by every hose carriage, one
each side of the drivers seat.
