house on the east side will be represented,

Pullman car is named 1.-The August, and
is eighteen feet long. 1t will carry sixteen
young women, singing popuar songs to the
accompa niment of band The car is pea
green, dIaped with bunting, evergreen and
glistening with gold and silver. The entire
machinery of the engine will be in motion
and the bell will swing as it advances.
The float will be drawn by ten handsome
pure white horses brought from Portland

BICYCLE THIEF CAUGHT.

pened to see the young fellow in Westbrook
and the description seemed to fit the case
SO exactly that he arrested him and brought
him to Portland. All the way in Elliott en-.
deavoredssto persuade Constable Pike that
he was making big mistake. but the latter
didn't think so.
MI. Chase identified the prisoner as the
man who said his name was Elliott. and
who went off with his bicycle and didn't
come back.
Elliott now says that his name is Charles
II. Emerson of Lewiston. When asked why
he gave the name of Charleston at the
boarding house near the Union station he
said that that was his gTandfather's name,
His explanations were very unsatisfactory
and he is evidently consummate liar. He
didn't go to Old Orchard but kept himself
hid in the neighboring towns beyond Deer
Ing. He admits that he stopped over one
night witt asfarmer and that he got one
dollar out of him by telling the story about
his grandfather's being i'll at Lewiston and
his desire to go to him. As soon as he got
to Westbrook he was recognized and caught
because Constable Pike had been reading
the PRESSES account. He will be held on
charge of obtaining goods under false pre-
fences. Since the bicycle is worth more
than $40 it is a States prison offense He
gave his age as Is years which is quite old
enough to know better.

WHERE Is THE EMMA
She Was Abandoned Dismasted Off
Half Way Rock.

Crew Taken Off by a Lobster Smack-In
the Morning the Emma Had Vanished
Either Gone Ashore or to the Bottom.
At about four O'clock Saturday afternoon
the two-masted schooner Emma of Bristol.
Capt. Anderson, left this port for Pemaquid
Beach laden with empty oil barrels for the
porgy oil plant there. She met with pretty
rough weather outside and by five o'clock
it was blowing a gale. When about six or
seven miles northeast of Half Way Rock
the chainplates on the windward side pulled
out and the fnainmast thus unsupported by
the shrouds went over with crash, break
ing short off. 1t took the foremost with 1t
and that was broken short off. Thus dis
masted the schooner was at the mercy OF
the waves, and rolled in the trough of the
sea with both rails going under and the
loose masts, booms and rigging Stating
about by the tremendous heaving OF the
vessel.
In this dangerous condition, Capt. An
drews and his one companion remained for
two hours. The sea was too rough for them
to hope to make land in their dory, and
theiI only hope was in being picked up or
riding out the gale without laundering.
A little after seven O'Clock. the schooner
Alwilda Morse of Bristol. Captain Albert E.
Sprowl. from Pemaquid Beach to Portland,
with 5000 Holsters, saw the dismasted
schooner and took off Capt. Andrews and
his companion who were thankful enough
to be rescued from their dangerous position,
and would have been still more thankful
had they known what was to happen.
= They anchored the disabled schooner and
then the lobster smack lay to near by to
wait till morning. in the hope of being able
to tow the Emma to p,rt. Bnt in the morI.-
ing there was no Emma. She had dsap-
peared in the night. Either the loose masts
thrashing around, stove hole in her and
she sank, or she broke her anchor and
drifted ashore somewhere, probably on Mark
island. in which case she must be bad
wreck.
The Alwilda Morse came to Portland yes
terday afternoon. Capt. Andrews says that
If they hadn't been rescued as they were
they would have had hard show for their
lives. ThesEmma was about Al tons burden
and an old CT aft. hence the giving away of
the chain plates. Had she been loaded
with anything but oil casks, he couldn't
have kept fioated as long as she did.
She belonged to C. B. Meserve of New
HarboI.
She has either gone ashore OF to the bot
tom, one or the other, that is certain. The
two men If course left all their personal be-
longings in the way of clothes, except those

Gen. wilson's Sncecii

Gen. Wilson, of the Montana diyi-
sion of CoXey's Commonweals, ad-
dressed an audience of about one
hundred-and-lifty last evening in
Market square. His talk was of the
Illogical character that has always
characterized CoXeyism, and Wilson
neither convinced anyone of his
hearers, who went only for curiosity
TO hear him. nor did he do any harm.
He explained the object of the Coxey
movement. and told where the vast
armies, numbering in all $50, 900.
Were. From this he turned to
strikes, and explained his version of
the situation today. He claimed to be
an old engineer, and wears Il. OF l..
L. pin. He is evidently warm sup
porter of Debs and the A. II. L. and
roundly roasted p. NJ. Arthur for not
calling out the engineers all over the
country to stand by the Pullman
strikers. He recited some incidents
in his Montana lie and explained the
distinction between .bum" and
hobo" "a bum said Wilson. lis
a man who will work for n meal and
that is all. but hobo is a man who
is looking for work and PRAYING 10
