HOW THINGS COME ABOUT.
Frank w. Sawyer Leaves Portland to Ac-
cept Fine Position in the West

Mr.. Frank H. Sawyer, many years
prominent in the furniture business cir
cles, as head salesman at Walter Corey
q CO.. and Ftp. Tibbetts & Co.'s, leaves
the city next Monday for Chicago. where
he has accepted position with Baeder,
Adamson & Co., the largest dealers in
the world in glue, curled hair and sand
paper. They have establishments in
Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chica-
go and San Francisco. MIR. Sawyer will
remain in Chicago month, and then
make his headquarters at Cincinnati,
from whence he VIII travel through
Ohio, selling glue, curled hair and sand
paper.
1t is very advantageous position and
though Mr.. Sawyer dislikes to leave
Portland, he concluded that it would be
best to do SO. The offer came about in
this way: When Mr.. Sawyer was with
Walter Corey & Co. he had charge of
the firms, bid for the contract to fur
nish the new steamer, Kennebec. The
other competitor was John Wanamaker
of Philadelphia, and Mr.. Sawyer won.
It was $4,000 contract. Out of negotia-
lions in regard to this contract gives the
employment of Mr.. Sawyer, though he
did not give Baeder, Adamson & Co. the
ontract.

Supposed He Came to Portland.

Attachments amounting to nearly $1,000
have been placed on the World Mercantile
Agency of New Haven, and the personal
property of its treasurer, John H. McDon-
aid. He has disappeared and it is believed
that he has come to Portland The agency
had Offices in New York, New Haven, Bos-
ton and Portland. Mcdonald has collected
bills and failed to turn over the money. 1t
is believed the agency is involved to the
extent of about $4,000. The assets are the
office furniture only.
The company was represented here by
Lawyer Woodman, and it is alleged that a
number of Portland business houses are
losers to some extent. A number are
said to have subscribed with the COM
pany, the fee being S26, and that
they are out to that extent. The COM
pany made business of collecting old
accounts and it is quite likely Portland
merchants may lose little in this way

HARPSW ELL:
Queer Accident to an Aged Man.

Abner 7. johnson, an old man of eighty
years, residing at Bailey's Island met with
an accident Thursday night that will prob
ably result fatally. According to the state
ment made by his family he started to go
to his room in the dark when he slipped and
fell, striking on china bowl which was on
tho floor. The edge of the bowl which was
broken by the fall cut his face frightfulIy
about the temples. DR.. Gordon, of Harps
well, was called, and dressed the wound,
taking thirty-two stitches. BY the time
the doctor reached the island Mr.. johnson
had lost a great deal of blood; and yester-
daythe chances Of bis recovery seemed slight.

The Clark brothers, of West Franklin,
well known hunters, on the late SHOWS
of spring captured a goodly number of
foxes among which were several little
ones, SO young that they had not got
their eyes open. Their fur was no good
and it seemed too had to kill them. SO
they were carried home alive, and diyid-
ed among the brothers. 1t Sc happened
that Just at this time in two of the
homes mother cats found some kittens
One cat has been mothering kittens and
foxes together, b ut the other one forsook
her own flesh and blood, and carried off
and made herself adopted mother to the
little orphan foxes. They are developing
finely.
A correspondent S attention was ca He'd
to rather queer instance of incom-
pleteness the other day in Il Penobscot
town. A farm changed hands not long
building and repairing the barn on the
premises. There, said he, pointing at
the structure, now in the hands of the
correspondent" that barn was built over
fifty years ago, and it never had door
until this spring. To all the winds and
storms and all sorts of weather during
that time it has stood wide open.'
Mr.. David Durell of Greenvale. had
a severe attack of collie in the night and
his wife attended him. A hot fire was
built in the kitchen stove and bed
placed for him on the floor near the
stove, while she sat in chair near by
him, as well as near the stove. Mr.. and
Mrs. Durell fell asleep. 1t seems that the
wife while asleep leaned forward SO near
the stove that her clothing caught fire.
and the husband was awakened by her
piercing shrieks, and found her STANDING
in the floor with her clothing all ablaze.
Selling a pail of water he dashed II
upon her and then tore off what he could
of her clothes. Mrs. Durrell rushed ont
of the house and sprang into the water
ing tub near by, which subdued the
flames, but added to her agony. Dr..
Currier found the woman terribly
burned from her breast to the knees
