Portland has been entertaining Harry
Villiers, "The King of Tramps" this week.
The Republican journal thinks that Mrs.
John Wentworth can we'll be called the
champion quilt-maker of Waldo county.
During the last twelve years she has made
twenty-one silk bed quilts, seven silk lounge
quilts, thirty-four worsted quilts and cali
CO quilts too numerous to be mentioned-all
of which have been given to her children
and grandchildren. She has accomplished
all this work with her own hands, quilt
ing them all, and never sat down
to a sewing machine in her life. During
this time she has been busily engaged in
her household duties and has also crocheted
FIVE carriage robes and pieced 10 sofa pill
lows. Mrs. Wentworth is now 20 years old
and can step around as spry as any of her
children and accomplish more sewing in a
day than many younger ones. ~.
Portland woman has been working a
new and peculiarly atrocious scheme of
fraud. She called upon residents of the
city and amidst many sobs, stated that her
baby was lying dead at home and that she
had collected about Elk dollars to buy it a
funeral outfit, and only lacked IS cents
more to pay the bills. live stigation proved
her to be an impostor.
Do philanthropic people ever reflect that
the parties who beg dimes and quarters of

A man or woman who would steal ow :

The steam launch "We-Two' is now
plying on the Stroudwater river. 1t goes
only as far as the boom in Leavitt's pas
ture, because the question of that boom has
not yet been settled. Mr.. Leavitt owns the
land on both sides, and claims the right to
dictate as to the disposal of that boom. 1t
is placed across the river not only as a foot
bridge, but to prevent the cows from So i'm
ming down stream and going astray in the
hay fields below. 1t is fence as well as
bridge.
1t is said that Mr.. Leavitt gave his ult;-
matum to Mr.. Kicker as follows The
steam launch management, in order to get
by that boom must put 10 its place an over
head bridge, large and strong enough to
drive across horse and carriage, and must
also pay Leavitt $40 year. The manage
ment refused to do this, as probably Mr..
Leavitt expected. The ultimatum was, on
his part, doubtless a challenge to remove
that boom if they could. There is dead
lock about it at all events.

in butchers expenses. it is worth a good

IN SENATE AND HOUSE
senntor Berry objects to Being Styled an
Obstruotionist. ..

WASHINGTON, March IA somewhat
amusing episode enlivened the senate pro-
ceedihgs yesterday inaugurated by Sena-
tor berry's personal explanation. A New
York newspaper had included him in
group of portraits of nine Democratic SEN
ators, whom Is charged with being ''ob-
structionists' to the tariff bill. Mr., Berry
denied that he had ever been anything
but an earnest advocate of the bill, and
on all occasions had urged its speedy re-
port to the senate without modification.
His explanation was followed by explains
tions from Senators Faulkner, Call, Me-
Laurlng and Morgan, which led to much
amusement in the senate chamber. The
main interest of the day centered about
the discussion as to the disposal of the
Bland bill. Mr. Stewart gave notice that
today at o'clock he would move to take
1t up and make it the business before the
senate until disposed of Mr.. Teller also
spoke on the same subject.
The debate on the pension appropriation
bill was continued In the house, the fea-
ture of the day being General Slckles'
speech criticizing tho action of Commits
sioner Lochren. An agreement was reached
whereby the debate on the bill will close
at 3 O'Clock this afternoon. Before the de-
bate began yesterday the resolution for
the investigation of Judge jenkins writ
of injunction against the Northern Pa
cihc railroad was taken up and passed.

FOUR MORE MINERS KILLED.
Three Crushed Beneath a Rock and An
other Burned to Death.


SCRANTON, Pa, March -Four men in
gang Of pine shaft sinkers were killed
In the Richmond shaft In the northern
part of the city. The accident was caused
by the fall Of shelf of rock from the side
OF the shaft near the bottom and a con-
sequent explosion of blower OF gas.
The victims are Thomas HOW'LL, charge
man, who leaves wife and child, burned
to death; Richard Hughes, single, 9, years;
James Northen, single, 20 years; Albert
Richards, single, 81 years
The men were at work at the bottom of
the shaft, almost 400 feet from the surface.
They had but recently opened the Clark
vein. and were clearing away the coal at
the foot of the shaft. Above them hung a
bell like piece of rock which projected
slightly from the side of the shaft. This
shelved downward and had been some
what loosened by previou blasts.
Suddenly the rock gave way Three were
caught and crushed to instant death
Chnrgeman HOW'LL rushed away as the
rock fell, with five others of the men. He
went farther Into the opening than his
fellow workmen, still carrying his naked
lamp in his hand. Instantly flames burst
forth, enveloping him. His companions
tried 10 put out the flames at their own
peril. but before they succeeded he was
dead. The after damp quickly gathered,
and it was only by the prompt action that
the survivors succeeded in reaching the
loot OF the shaft and signaling the en-
gineer and were hoisted TO tho surface.
