A Musician Held UP.

Last night, about IL o'clock, a
young man who resides in the
country, and who was on his way
home, was stopped by two strange
men, who ordered him to throw up
his hands. This he did, and was
relieved of several dollars. The
mounted officers at the Central
Police station were notified, and
searched until 30 o'clock this
morning for the thieves, but were
not successful in locating them.

carn1vorous Ocean Fishes.

Such fierce carnivorous fishes as ex-
list in the depths of the ocean are un-
known at the surface. There is the
"black swallower," which devours
other fnny creatures ten times as big
as itself, literally climbing over its
victim, first with one jaw and then
with the other Another species is
nearly all mouth, and, having no
power of locomotion, it lies buried in
the soft ooze at the bottom, it's head
along protruding, ready to engulf any
prey that may wander into its cavern
Gus laws. There is ferocious kind of
shark, resembling a huge eel. All of
these monsters are as black as ink.
Some of them are perfectly blind, while
others have enormous goggling eyes.
No ray of sunlight ever pierces the
dark, unfathomed caves in which they
dwell. Each species is gobbled by the
species next bigger, for there is no
vegetable life to feed on.

ALL ABOUT A SIGN.
Quite an Excitement in Which Hen Lee
Figured.

On the Fourth of July, Mr.. W. J.
Dunscombe, the mason and builder, who
kept an order slate on the building at
$50 IL Congress street, found his slate
broken when he went to his office in that
building. He has believed that it was
broken by the Cinnamon who are en-
ployed in thelaundry of Sam & Company,
next door, of which Hen Lee is said to
be proprietor, although we do not I'M
derstand there is any proof of their con-
nection with the affair.
The other day Mr.. Dunscome missed
his sign, neat shield, on which was
painted his name and business in gilt let
tiers, which hung at the door. Last
night he complained to Officer Usher of
the theft, and said he had discovered
that the sign was in Sam & Co.'s laun-
dry. Accompanied by the officer, Mr..
Dunscombe entered the laundry, and
there was the sign. Mr.. Dunscombe
was going to take it, when Hen Lee OBJ
jected, as he was keeping it for security.
Officer Usher offered to be security, but
Lee objected to parting with the sign.
By this time Cinnamon were gliding
down stairs from the second story, in a
perfect swarm, and a great crowd OF
people was gathering outside. Duns-
come was told by Usher to hold the
outer door open while he took the sign.
Dunscombe went out, and the door flew
too, fastening with a spring and locking
Usher in with the Cinnamon. Hen Lee
tried to prevent the signs removal, and
at that moment an outsider put his foot
through the glass of the door and pulled
the spring bolt back so that the officer
could have egress. About the same
time, Officer Merrill came along, and
seing what he thought was fierce row
in progress stepped in lively, and finding
big Chinaman opposed to him mistook
him for the bean bag on which he prac-
tees daily, and the big Chinaman went
over in heap. The patrol wagon was
called and Hen Lee taken to the station,
where the sign was also carried by Off
Ger Usher. Neither of the officers were
struck by the Chinese.
1t was impossible to understand Hen
Lees side of the story. This.is upfortu-
nate, because the Chinese of this city are
annoyed great deal by hoodlums, and
it is impossible to tell what grounds, if
any, they had for taking and keeping the
sign.

A Remarkable Escape.

Mr.. Joseph Foss of Scarboro is farm
er, who has large milk route. While
away from home the other day, his sister
took the horses and wagon and two little
boys, for ride. In going down hill
the horses got away from her, and went
at headlong speed. They got out Of the
road and ran the wagon into tree. Just
as the wagon was about to hit the tree,
the lady threw out both arms
and as the wheels of the vehicle struck
the tree her arms clasped the trunk and
she was swung out of the wagon and es-
capped injury. The boys were thrown
out but not hurt. The wagon was brok-
en- to pieces. 1t was remarkable es-
cape for Miss Foss.

viii Contest Captain Matthews Claim.

will Contest Captain Matthews Claim.
Mr.. Joseph Varney, owner of schooner
S. S. Smith, which was towed here by
the tug Demarest. is here, and will have
the vessel taken to the marine railway to
be repaired. The vessel is insured with
the Portlend Marine Underwriters. The
claim of Captain George FL. Matthews
for 50 per cent of the value of the vessel
and cargo will not be paid, inasmuch as
Captain Ryder and crew state that they
had not abandoned the vessel, and that,
therefore. all the tug should receive is a
fair compensation for towage.
On the other had, it is claimed the YES
sell had sunk to the rail, and as the YES
sells boat had filed it was impossible to
leave the vessel, which would have turned
over but for the assistance of the Dema-
rest. In addition to saving the vessel
and cargo, the crew were saved from
what is claimed was certain death.

THE FIRES.
They Were Kept1 Under Subsection Yes
terday.

The fire at Rigby Park was kept from
injuring any of the buildings yesterday
by means of constant attention on the
part of the men at the grounds. At one
time the flames ran over the Enclosure
towards the club stables, but renewed
efforts were made and they were extin-
guished.
The other fire in Scarboro was kept
away from any building, although at one
time it burned quite briskly.
The fire in the vicinity of Morrill's cor
ner is scattered over good deal of terri
tory but is not burning SO briskly.
About noon yesterday fire started in
the grass at Falmouth and ran across the
fields almost as fast as a man could run.
Later it was under control, but it was in
bad locality.

Caught in a Ouagmire.

Some time ago Mr.. James B. Thornton
took large quantity of muck from the
grounds at the Black Point road. not far
from Scarboro Station, and the pits from
whence the muck was taken became vir-
tually quagmires. Along these quag
mires a deceptive sort of velvety turf and
great punches of cat-o'-nine tails grew.
Last Saturday, couple of visitors at
Prout's Neck were riding over the road
by the quagmires and saw the cato mine
tails. One of the ladies. a very stout
woman, determined to get some. She
alighted from the wagon and walked into
the quagmire where she sank to her waist.
Her companion rode off for aid and Sc
cured some farmers. In the meantime
Mr.. Warren of Scarboro had reached the
spot. A long plank was obtained, Mr..
Warren applied his shoulder to the lady.
and by the efforts of all combined she
was got ON to the plank and rescued from
herperilous situation, very much fright
ened and sad looking person.
