A young boy, giving the name of Frank
Howard, and claiming to be but six years Of
age and reside in Hallowell, made three
visits to the JOURNAL office last evening
each time with different story. On his
last visit he was questioned, fed and warmed
and kept till Officer Rsynes arrived, and
was recognized by the officer as lad who
frequently runs away and whom he had
repeatedly sent home from the street al
night, the last time being Wednesday even
log. He was taken to the station for q

Remarkable Escape from ccnnaeration.

One Of the most remarkable escapes from
connagration that ever was known in this
city occurred in the shore Of J. M. Evans
Tuesday night.
A lamp had been placed in the basement
by the stairs to light the way into the cellar.
1t is supposed that when the store was shut
up at night the clerk forgot to get the lamp.
Sometime in the night it exploded. 1t was
standing on box of goods. In the morn
ing when the store was opened there was a
very strong smell of smoke.
On lifting the trap door at the top of the
basement stairs It was seen that the under
side of the trap door was burned to char.
coal. The fre had also burned along the
edge of the trap door. Had it burst out in
the store and the oiled floor ignited nothing
could have prevented bad fire.
The stairs were quite badly burned and
the box on which the lamp sat. There was
little infammable material on the concreted
floor Of the cellar, and the basement being

The readers Of the JOURNAL win remem
Der that : few weeks ago an article ap
peared in this paper noticing that the post
master general had placed the larger de
nomination Of Columbian stamps in the
postofice at Augusta, Maine, to be sold
during the next two years to gil stamp col.
lections, etc. An Office was selected il
each state of the Union for this pur
pose and it was supposed that there
would be no trouble in keeping q supply
on hand; but since the furnishing of the
Columbian stamps ceased with the year 1888
there has been . great demand for these
stampe, principally by stamp and coin COM
panies. These companies and other specu.
lating collectors have purchased stamps
everywhere with the intention of holding
them until there shall be large premium
upon them. In 1876 stamps were gotten
out for the Centennial year, which had ap-
propriate designs, and although there was
not at that time such mania for stamp col
lecting - exists today, nor was there such
q good market, the stamps now command a
very high premium and meet with very
ready sale.
Apparently basing their ideas on this fact
collectors have speculated heavily in the
Columbian stamps, and especially in the
higher denominations.
The stock which was placed in the Au-
gusta post office in the middle part of De-
cember last, and which was supposed to be
amply sufficient for two years, has been en-
tirely exhausted with the exception of
stamps ranging below six cents in value,
and it 10 impossible to obtain any more. Re-
quests have been sent from various cities
for the purchase of what stamps of the
larger denominations were still on hand as
they are not to be obtained at any of the
larger offices. It would seem that these
stamps have been systematically bought up
in all parts Of the country.
