THE DARK SECRET REVEALED.
L. w. Lowell of Boston Jumps Into the
Sea from the Steamer fremont

On the passage of the steamer Ire
mont, Captain Craig, from Boston to
Portland Thursday night, Lucius W.
Lowell, a passenger, committed suicide
by jumping into the sea. The fremont
was compelled to put into Gloucester
during Wednesday night, and lie by I'M
til the southeast gale then prevailing
would allow her to proceed. Yesterday
morning, when off Boone Island, where
the waves were very high, Mr.. Lowell
watched his opportunity and then
made break for the rail aft on the up
per deck. An oiler called to one of the
officers and they rushed after the passen-
ger, but were not quick enough, as Mr..
Lowell plunged overheard feet first, and
and in the high sea, and at the rate the
steamer was going, it would have been
impossible to rescue him. The boat
hands had been somewhat suspicious of
Mr.. Lovells action during the evening,
and had kept a watch on his movements.
The suicide left note directed to Cap
tain Craig enclosing another directed to
Mrs. G. Andrews, No. 46 Cortes street,
Boston, saying she would find the key
in the table drawer, and letters in the
closet, and asking the captain to see she
got the notification. He left so cents to
pay any expense that might be incurred.
He asked the captain to give his umbrel-
la and overcoat to the ''boys' on the
boat. He says: II intended to do the
deed last night, but the weather prevent
ed (the boat had to put into Gloucester
that night, but in two hours more I
shall know the dark secret.''
Mr. Lowell was man of good height,
medium weight. fair complexion, about
go years of age, and neatly dressed. In
the Boston directory, Mr.. L. P. Lovelps
name is found, boarding at No. 46 Cortes
street, an employe of the custom house.
A Boston Journal reporter called at
Mrs. Andrews house, No. 46 Cortes
street. All Of the family were lin great
distress, having just been notified of the
sad occurrence by policeman. ALI that
Mrs. Andrew could say was that she
hoped it was mistake.
Last evenings Boston Globe says:
Lucius G. Lowell for the last five or six
years has boarded with his sister-in-law,
Mrs. c. Andrew, at 4S Cortes street. He
is native of Bridgewater, from which
town he served in the legislature four or
five years. He afterwards removed to
Wollaston, where he lived until the
death of his wife, four or five years ago.
when he came to Boston. During Cleve-
lands former administration he served
in the Boston custom house. Since then
he has done nothing, living, it is said, on
his laid-up money, of which ne had a
plenty.

SPARKS and GUNPOWDER.
A Combination Which Led Many to
Retire EARLY.

They Heard of 1t After They and the
Firemen Had Found Mr.. Barker's Burn.
ing Barn-The Gunpowder is Still
There The Barn Isn't.
Somebody in the railroad yards on
West Commercial street saw fire at
shortly after 10 o'clock last night. The
fire was on the high ground, near Dan
forth street, and quarter of a mile from
the railroad yards, but nevertheless an
alarm was sent in from box 81, at the
yard. This brilliant performance result
ed in getting several pieces of apparatus
down under the hill before the drivers
discovered that the fire was on top of it.
Then there was an up hill haul to get to
the blaze. After the engines had got to
work second alarm was pulled from
box "a.
The fire was in two-story wooden
stable on Orange street. Orange street
runs from Danforth towards CONNER
cial, and is the next street west of School
street. The stable was owned and occu-
pied until recently by G.. B. McGregor, by
whom it was sold to John Barker. Mr..
Banker, it was stated last night, had
purchased some horses in Boston, but
they had not arrived, and the stable was
empty. The building was totally de-
stroyed, causing a loss of several hun
dred dollars. The engines at first had
some difficulty in getting water, condi-
ton attributed by the fremen to the
small size of the street main.
During the progress of the fire, show
ers of sparks fell upon adjoining build
ings, and when the crowd heard that
there were five kegs of gunpowder in
nearby shed, good many lost interest
in the subsequent proceedings and went
home. The powder is stored by Mr..
Henry Brown, a truckman. Mr.. Brown
stated that he had city license, and that
the five kegs were in a copper receptacle.
Still the wisdom of storing powder in a
shed in the midst of a lot of wooden
houses and stables would appear some
what doubtful. Some of the people liv-
ing in the neighborhood thought the fire
might be the result of a spark from the
pipe Of member of the Great Brother
hood of Tramps, who are said to have
used the stable as sleeping place.

Liquors Shipped to Boston.

Sheriff Cram made his first shipment
of liquor to Boston yesterday under the
new law. This law provides for saving
all seized liquors when forfeitedsby or
der of the court and when five barrels
are accumulated it is to be shipped to
some distiller and be re-distilled. In ac-
cordance with this law the Sheriff con-
tracted with G. Fl. Graves & Son of Bos-
ton, to send them all the liquors seized.
They are to distill the same and pay to
the county treasurer sum equal to so
cents per gallon of pure alcohol ex-
tracted.
The first five barrels were made up
yesterday. 1t was o conglomerate mess
containing a mixture of whiskey, BRAN
dy, gin, split and all the other popular
brands. Under the old law it would
have gone into the sewer.

At their annual concert to be given
next Monday evening, besides the pro-
gramme already published, the band will
play the following selections:
The Germans before Paris" a des-
criptive piece of grand and pleasing
character which was played by the con-
solidated military bands in the intrench-
ments before Paris, during the Franco
Prussian war. The selectioa begins with
the lovely strains son to Paris,'' followed
by Light Cavalry Overture which
opens with an inspiring introduction of
bugles sounding the assembly of the
German army. The call is heard and
the soldiers gather. In mournful song
they tell their grievances and becoming
incensed, and as though unable to re-
strain it longer, burst forth in singing
"Die Watch am Rhine" with all it's power
and brilliancy. In this selection Schu-
bert's beautiful serenade is heard, as
well as most brilliant triple tongue
clarinet duet. Verdi's famous Anvil
Chorus with anvil accompaniment, the
Carnival Of Venice, the Beautiful Blue
Daube Waltz, and the army calls from
