THE OLDEST WHEELMAN.
Probably the Oldest Man That Mounts a
Pneumatic in Maine.

A Portland man was in Sanford last
week, and reports that every body is rid
ing the bicycle there, from the toddler
to the grey-haired grandfather. He saw
Mr.. George .Goodall the owner and origi-
nator of the plush mills and man now
about so years old pedaling rapidly
along the street on pneumatic. It
was not bicycle nor yet tricycle. of
the old kind but special machine I'M
doubtedy built especially for the old
gentleman. 1t was like any pneumatic
tire safety except that there were two
trear wheels instead of one. They were
about two feet apart and of course the
machine would stand alone
The chain passed around cogs on the
axle between the two rear wheels. MIR.
Goodall is doubtless the Oldest wheel
man in the state. If there is one older
the PRESS would like to hear froaa
him.

A SHOT GUN NOTIFICATION.
"Maid of the Mist'--Some Things About
the Story Seem Improbable.

A mariner whoscame to this port yester-
day brought remarkable story about an
adventure, which as he solemnly AYERS,
happened to the fishing schooner ''Maid of
the MIST last Sunday evening. The ''Maid
of the MIST commanded by Captain Samuel
Doughty of Harpswell, was lying to about
twelve miles south of Seguin, near the
Outer Kettle. While lying in this position
the crew of the schooner discovered large
steamer bearing down upon them. All haste
was made to blow the fog horn: but the
1oudest blasts awakened no response on the
steamer. Then shot gun was brought up
and fired. Still no response, and still the
big steamer bore straight down upon the
MAID of the Mist
Then it was, SO the mariner relates, that
desperate measure was taken. The shot
gun was pointed at the windows of the
steamers pilot house, and fired. The shot
went smashing through the glass, and this
salutation had the desired effect. A head
was thrust out of the pilot house window,
and the owner of the head, surveying the
situation, threw his wheel over just in time
to avoid the schooner. AS it was the big
steamer came so near that her guard rail
was within reach of the arms of the men of
the Maid of the MIST and they pushed
against it to fend off.
Some of the particulars as stated seem
marvellous, in spite of the positiveness of
the mariner from the stMaid of the MIST
That schooner was not in the harbor yester-
day SO, the report could not be verified 1t
does not seem possible that in the locality
mentioned the outlook on a steamer
could have been SO negligent as alleged.

A REMARKABLE ILLNESS.
Portland Young Lady Unconscious
Twenty Nine Consecutive Days-Typhoid
Fever Complicated With Nervous Pros
tration.

The friends of Miss Blanche o. Cram,
daughter of Mr.. Fl. 0. Cram, of the United
States hotel are rejoicing at the promise
that she will recover from a severe and re-
markable Illness. Miss Cram is eighteen
years of age usually strong until about two
months ago, when she became i'll with what
seemed to be nervous prostration. After
a time signs of typhoid fever began to ap-
pear. and for the last six weeks Miss Cram
has been confined to her bed, SO ill that her
relatives and friends despaired of her re-
covery. For the last twenty-nine days of
that time she has been unconscious, or
rather tout of her head,'' as the expression
is. Monday the fever began to subside, and
yesterday for the first time, the watchers
by her bedside were delighted when for
period of about five minutes her mind be-
came clear enough for her to recognize
them. She again relapsed into unconscious
ness; but it is believed that her chances for
recovery are now good.
Those acquain ted with typhoid fever say
that Twenty-Five days of Inconsistencies
is remarkably long period, though not
wholly unprecedented in medical annals.

FIRE IN The BAY VIE w.
An Early Memorial Day Blaze at Peaks
Island-Evidently of Incendiary Origin.

A very dangerous and mysterious fire
excited the people of Peaks Island early
Wednesday morning. Mr.. William Aver, in
going to his boat about a. M, discovered
smoke issuing from the basement of the Bay
View house. This house is about three
minutes walk from Jones's landing, and is
the largest hotel on the island.
AS soon as he discovered the smoke Mr..
Aver ran across the street and awakened
Mr.. William A. Sterling. The latter at once
got up, and without stopping to dress, ran
with pail of water to the hotel. Together
the two men forced an entrance. They
found the house full of smoke and with
difficulty located the fire in second story
room in the northwest corner. The door of
this room was closed, but as soon as opened
fire was discovered in the middle of the
floor. lighted Kerosene lamp was stand
ing near the fire; and counterpart,
saturated with kerosene, was burning in
the middle of the floor. The fire had worked
through the floor and to the DINING room.
Mr.. Sterling and Mr.. Aver, assisted by
Mr.. Sloan of the fire department, made
gallant fight, and managed to put the fire
out. A general alarm was made, but the
fire was out before many had arrived.

through the caret and floor. It was very
fortunate that the fire did not get more
Roadway before it was discovered, as the
night was very dark, and had the fire got
well underway there would have been a
very bad confagration, as the Bay View is
large building and there are many houses
and stores in close proximity to it. There
is no doubt that it was set on fire. What
could be the object of the incendiary no one
can imagine The Bay View has not been a

HICCOUGHED "a HOURS.
Capt. John COnstandts Remarkable
Experience.
The Result of Ter rible Blow-Struck b.
the Blight of an Anchor Cable.

The Result of Ter rible Blow-Struck by
the Blight of an Anchor Cable.
Last Monday, the schooner Hereward of
Gloucester, arrived from Georges banks
with 1900 pounds of halibut for J. w.
Trefethen. Her captain, whose name is
Constandt, was watching the procession in
the afternoon of Memorial day, when he
was suddenly seized with a violent fit of
hiccoughing. He went back to his vessel
and continued to hiccough till the middle
of yesterday, period of twenty four hours
He was unable to eat anything except a
little soup. His chest and bowels were so
hurt him to breathe. Also he suffered all
the time from neuralgia in his cheek and
eye.
Undoubtedly the cause of this serious and
un expected illness was the terrible blow
received by the captain two weeks ago to-
morrow. They were dropping anchor on the
banks, where the current is very strong.
The great cable was running out at a
tremendous rate of speed and the captain
was guarding it somewhat with his hands,
when blight in the huge rope few up and
struck him squarely in the mouth.
When he recovered his two front upper
teeth were gone, his gums were badly
mashed and his lip had pulled up enormous
ly. Ever since his mouth has been very sore
and has festered some. Of course he lost a
good deal of blood at the time But he felt
no alarm until this attack of hiccoughing
and neuralgia. He remembered the case of
the New York man, who hiccoughed him.
self to death, and he began to get fright
ened. Yesterday afternoon before the
hiccoughing stopped, he attempted to go on
deck to go to a doctor, but was unable to do
so.
He had decided that it was about time to
send for doctor, but probably has not done
so, unless the hiccough returned last night.
Undoubtedly the cause of ssit was the two
teeth that had mysteriously disappeared
and that he probably swallowed uncon-
sciously at the time of the terrible blow.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

NORTH YARMOUTH FOR DOUGHTY.
The Republican caucus was held in North
Yarmouth yesterday afternoon for the
choice of delegates to the State and County
conventions. For the choice of county con-
vention delegates there was q triangular
contest between those VIII, were supporting
Plummer, Barker or Doughty for sheriff.
Mr.. G. 7. Loring was chairman of the
caucus. D. n. Woodman and E. ". Ross
were chosen delegates to the State conven-
ton.
Then came the contest for the two dele
gates to the county convention. Three
ballots were necessary, and finally the two
Doughty delegates, James N. Lawrence and
G. R. Loring were elected. Lawrence had
SO votes to 81 for H. E. Skillings, the Plum
mer candidate. Loring had AZ votes to 81
for A. N. Titcomb, who was for Plummer.
Mr.. Hayes, favorable to Barker, was among
the candidates.
Up to the present the situation on sheriff
is as follows
For Plummer, %
Barker,
Doughty,
Porter,
Sanborn,
Uncommitted,
The whole number of delegates in the
county convention will be 157.
The reports that have been circulated
with the apparent intention of prejudicing
Mr.. Despeaux's candidacy for sheriff to
the effect that he is a Frenchman and
Catholic are unfounded. The remote ances-
tors Of Mr.. Despeaux were among the
French Huguenots, who were driven from
France for their religious convictions and
came to New England 260 years ago. Their
descendants have lived here ever since. Mr.
Despeaux is liberal in his religious views
but is not and never was Catholic.
