HEN THIEVES.
They Call Forth Some Remarks About
Tramps.

Yesterday, complaint was made at the
station by Mr.. Murray of Cape Elizabeth
that his hen roost had been robbed of
some thirty hens, and he wanted the po-
lice to look up the matter. Mr.. Murray
was referred to the Cape Elizabeth au
thorities. There are doubtless, according
to the officers, a large number of tramps
and pedlars now on the road, and it is
very common under such circumstances
for farmers to suffer severely.
In this connection it would be well to
warn our citizens that large numbers of
tramps are seeking the city some of them
doubtless, men out of work, who would
gladly obtain it, but the majority tramps
intent on living without work. One
has MIXED woman's COW at the West
End three mornings running. Two
were arrested by Officer Hanson yester-
day. All such vagabonds will be put be-
fore the court and given hard labor for
thirty days.

found sleeping on the water off the
Georges Bank, and was harpooned in
the neck and captured. 1t is monster
and when put onto the scales at Love-
tits was found to weigh over thousand
pounds. It is five or six feet in length,
from nose to the tip of the tail, and is
covered with a hard, black shell, Curl
ously ribbed. Its fippers are long and
powerful. In spite of the harpoon
wound in the neck, the turtle was alive
and vigorous yesterday afternoon. 1t
has been taken to Custom House wharf,
and it is the intention of its owner to
have it on exhibition today.

THE DIXON ACCIDENT.
The Interesting Case of Anderson and Fox
ton VS.. Boyd Continued.

In the United States Court yesterday
was continued the case of Anderson and
Foxton against Boyd, in which suit is
brought for $15,0 900 damages, alleged to
have been incurred in the accident on
the barkentine Hattie e. Dixon last
May.
Charles Sumner Cook, of the firm of
Symonds, Snow & Cook, opened the case
for the defendant, Mr. James I'll. Boyd.
Mr.. Cook opened on the legal question,
discussing the objections raised to the
taking of jurisdiction in this case by the
United States Court. Mr.. Cook contend
ed that it should have been brought in a
State Court. Then he opened ON the
question of fact, contending that it was
the duty of the men at the masthead,
Anderson and Foxton, to secure the
block properly, but they did not do it.
The following witnesses were then ex-
amined during the day: James III.
Boyd, the libellee; Harvey Coale, manag-
ing agent from Baltimore; Patrick Ken
nedy, who was on the top while the rig
ging was applied, and called Foxton's
attention to the improperly of the
method used in hitching the block,
whereupon Foxton replied that it was
all right, and the following expert rig
gers: Patrick Whalen, John Brown,
Charles Wagner, Thomas Smith, Charles
G.. Allen, Capt. A. D. Boyd and George
Dow.
They all testified that the rigging was
| not properly applied at the masthead.
AS on Monday there were present
many mariners and others interested in
such matters
The evidence was closed yesterday,
but the arguments will not be made fol-
several days.

Twentieth Maine.

The members of the goth Maine Regi-
ment Association have decided to have
no reunion. Last year they had very
successful one at Washington, at the
time of the Grand Army reunion, and
the executive committee thought that as
that trip was quite costly it would be
better to wait until next year, and then
have another good one. This seemed
advisable also because many of the
comrades wished to attend the fair this
year.

their entrance through the stable which

and were preparing to force the cellar

and lighted lamp. They took nothing
of value, contenting themselves with
sampling some vinegar which Mr.. Hanna

CITY OF DEERlNa.
Burning of the Base Ball Grand stand-A
Great Day for Deering Volunteer fire

Great DdY IOr De6Fihss toAeAAcOSA
men.
The burning of the grand stand at the
base ball grounds yesterday afternoon
occasioned considerable excitement at
Oakdale. How the fire caught is I'M
known, although it is thought that
children may have been playing there
with matches. Shortly before o o.
clock two boys, Edgar and Allie Brack-
EFT, were going into the grounds to play
ball. They discovered fire in the centre of
the grand stand. They and another boy
named Willie Allen gave the alarm.
Charles and Howard Winslow responded
from Deering Point. Mr.. Howard Wins
tow obtained small garden hose, which
he attached to a water faucet in the
dressing shed. With the small stream
that this afforded he kept the flames
from the 'tbleacher boards at the right
of the grand stand, although it was
pretty hot work for him. The flames in
the grand stand had attained great head
way before he came, and that structure
was soon all ablaze. The flames COM
municated themselves to the high board
fenco behind the stand, and this was
soon in flames.
MI. Winslow and his hand hose were
so far the only portions of the Deering
volunteer fire department to respond, al
though there was hose carriage at Oak
dale.
But the hose carriage of Machigonne
dashed out from the city at this juno
ture, and laying a line of hose from the
hydrant at the foot of Fessenden street,
soon had the flames under control. Some
boys had by this time hauled the Oak
dale hose cart down to this hydrant but
finding the Portland hose already hitch
ed on and at work, the volunteers aban-
doned their cart.
Meanwhile the news of the fire had
percolated as far as Woodfords, and the
hose cart from that place came dashing
down, drawn and pushed by four boys
wearing large firemen's hats. They
dashed towards the fire with great spirit.
Meanwhile, also, some patriotic citizen
had started the Congregational bell ring
ing.
The grand stand was owned by Murphy
Brothers, of this city, land by them leased
to the Base Ball Association. Their loss
may be $500 or $500, as it would cost
about that to replace it, No insurance.
The loss of the grand stand will not
prevent games.
The Machigonne boys attribute the
slowness of the Oal1dale Hose Company
to the fact that several of the prominent
members of it had on their best clothes
and did not care to attend the fire.

Pythian Day.

Arrangements have been made with
the Maine Central railroad to send a
special train to Bath this morning to &C
commodate the members of the Pythian
lodges in this city, and those arriving
here on the early out-of-town trains who
desire to take part in the Pythian day
celebration in Bath. This train will leave
the Union Station, Portland, at S.35, and
a return train will leave Bath at $40. II
is hoped that many Portland Knights
will avail themselves the opportunity
and give up the day to the good cause.

THERE has been much complaint in
this and other cities that bicyclists are a
reckless class of individuals, who care
little whether they run pedestrians down
or not. Since the streets Wilmington
have been put in better condition, riding
on the pavements is not nearly so com
mon as it was several months ago, and
consequently the complaints are not
heard SO frequently. Now that the bi.
cyclists have taken TO the streets new
phase of the matter presents itself Two
cases Of vital interest to the riding and
driving public are now before the
Supreme Court of New Jersey. w. L.
Dsrmer, a bicyclist, has brought suit
against Ellsworth Clynes for $4,000 for
injuries received in Bayonne. He
alleges that Clynes left several planlks in
the road, not marked by danger signal,
and by running his wheel into them he
was injured. William II. Crocker Of
Montclair, wants $4,000 because he was
run down in the streets of Bloomfield by
a team recklessly driven by two unknown
men. If these men recover in
the New Jersey courts such suits
are likely to become common elsewhere.
Therefore, it becomes every driver who
has dlsregarded the rights of the wheel
men heretofore, to be careful lest he may
incur heavy damage suit Wheelmen,
also, should exercise more care in dash
ing TO and fro among pedestrians. The
man, woman or child walking upon the
pavement or crossing is entitled to just
as much,i not more, protection from the
bicycle as the bIeyclist has from the
wagon when he is in the roadway. AS in
all other matters, this dispute over the
right of way must be settled by com
promise. All parties to the dispute
must exercise. due care not to trespass
upon the rights Of others in asserting
their own.
