Intimate friends Think That He Is Not
Far Away From Home.

PORTLAND, Me-, March THE Mys-
terious disappearance case, as published
In Boston papers yesterday. created quite
. furry of excitement In this city for a
time. Alfred L. Oxnard, the man pur-

character and another to put old Mr.
Oxnard under guardianship as being In
capable Of doing business. All Of these
cases were brought by Alfred Oxnard
against his brother and were all thrown
out of court.
Father was Sane.
According to Boston stories It would
ssem that Alfred Oxnard left Boston In
September to appear a. contestant In q
case brought by K. P. Oxnard and HIM
self TO break the old mans will. This
story appears absurd to ala who under
stand the case. Oxnard, ST., was very
able man and q man Of strong intellec-
tual capacity and perfectly sane when the
will was made. His will was witnessed
by Judge Cleaves, DR.. Dana and Hon. A.
]. Larrabee, all three being influential
and prominent men. These all would
have testified as to the old mans sanity.
Oxnard, the missing man, knew he had
no case, and Seth l.. Larrabee. his coun-
sci In the case. knew this fact, too, and
according to Hon. NJ. p. Frank, the COUP
sci for J. 7. Oxnard, Larrabee settled the
case In payment of ons-half his fee.
Therefore the intimation of Boston papers

out Of the question.

The Democrats fought President Sparks
so vigorously that when the meeting was

four officers being detailed by Sergeant

IN THEIR WAY.
A Youth Who Annoys the Electric MoiormcI
by Keeping TO the Tracks.

There Is fresh young fellow who drives
a horse and wagon to and from this city
TO Providence who makes 1t exceedingly
unpleasant and who seems to take keen
delight in botherIng the motormen on the
electrics.
Yesterday morning he kept an incom-
ing motorman iingling his gong for Iully
ten minutes before he took IL into his
head To get out OF the way, and when the
motorman mildly demonstrated he was
only rewarded by bland smile full OF
guileless innocence.
This same young fellow, the morning
previous, was leisurely driving along to-
wards this city. lie was on tho same
track with a car coming towards him, and
seemingly totally unconscious OF the fact.
1 he car and the wagon were rapidly get
ting close to one another, but still the
youth kept To the track, until the
exasperated motorman, tired OF ringing
his bell, had TO stop his car aud let the
youth turn out at his own pleasure.
The men in charge OF the cars say that
they run up against this annoyance quite
often, and are sometimes late in running
trip In consequence, but I'm most all
cases they keep their temper and avoid
trouble with the driver.

The Spencer Block was built In 1874 by
the late Gideon l.. Spencer and Is now the
property OF the Spencer heirs.
The architect was Andrew Slade and
the work was all done by the day with
Contractor Charles Dean IN charge. The
walls are l6 inches thick, With 4-inch
air space in the center.
IL was solidly constructed and MIR.
Spencer often said that II the building
should catch fire the walls would stand
after every floor had fallen.
The entire first floor IL occupied by
Lyons Delany Il Co. On the second
floor are the Tillinghast Dental Parlors
The rear portion OF the third story Is
used by Enterprise Lodge as a dance and
banquet hall while the whole OF the
fourth floor was magnificent hall oc.
cupied by the lodge, Blackstone Encamp-
men, Odd Fellows, Ossamequin Tribe,
| o. X. M, Leah Lodge, ID of X. and the
American Mechanics. This hall was
handsomely furnished and In a total wreck
The support for the two cables and
forty or fifty wires were about i'm the
center OF the building and the next sup.
port on the North Main street side is 300
feet away on the old electric light sta
tion.
On the other side the nearest support
is on the Read Block about $50 feet away
and the support on the Spencer Block is
about at an angle Of 10 degrees from the
other supports so that there was ter
rIble strain on the wrecked building.
The wall was practically pulled out and
broke 30 even at the third story that IL
looks az though IL was cut.
Jacob Blackman, ianitor OF Enterprise
Lodge, was just unlocking the door OF the
room on the third floor when the walls
fell. John Wilmarth was in the Miller
Block at the time and neither one heard
an explosion OF any kind.
City Engineer Carpenter was seen, but
said he had no opinion To express. lie
did not believe there had been an explo-
sion OF any kind and thought the walls
were perfectly safe.
Building Inspector Daniel l.. Wilmarth h
would say nothing except that he would
make his report to the City Council.
There seems to he no room for doubt but
that the strain of the cables and wires,
amounting to many tons, was the cause
OF the collapse.
Mr.. Dean, the contractor, said the walls
were AZ solid as a rock and that the wires
were the cause.
large crowd hung around all aay and
Officers Lee and Sword were so bothered
with questions that they tackled a sign on
a barrel In the slleyway which read,
"Ihe walls fell, cause unknown"
The damage is estimated at 5000 and
repairs will Immediately be begun.

TROY, N. Y, March The local cleo
ton In this city was most bitter, and was
one OF the severest struggles in years.
Hsnd-to-hand fights took place all over
the city and murder was added. This oc-
currence took place in the third dis
trict of ward 13 1t was at IL o'clock. A
number of strange men entered the
polling place at that hour. One insisted
on voting. His name was jeremiah
Cleary.
Cleary's vote was challenged by the Re
publican inspectors. A heated argument,
which had been begun within, was con-
tinued on the outside. A gang of excited
men gathered about. In the midst Of the
argument clubs and revolvers were
drawn, and desperate encounter ensued.

himself up to the police. He is held on

Cause.

People who were within a quarter OF q
at 6;l5 o'clock were startled by terrific
crash that sounded like "head- on" col
lision of two freight trains going at full
speed.
Immediately there was grand rush
from all sections OF the city and every
street leading To the spot indicated 10y the
noise was crowded with hurrying people
some with scared, pale faces while Others
seemed unconcerned and only sctuated
by curiosity. When the square was
reached terrible sight was before them
for nearly the whole top story OF the
handsome Spencer block was a wreck.
The windows In the front were smashed
and this led to the immediate conclusion
that an explosion had occurred In the top
story, as the other floors were not dam
aged TO any extent.
The whole brick wall forming the side
OF the fourth story next to the building
of Edward Smith on Moth Main street
with the exception of probably thirty feet
had fallen into the narrow alley com.

The police were promptly on hand and

Occasionally several bricks would fail

had preceded them.
The employees OF the Pawtucket Gas
Company arrived in a short time and be-

tangled mass of wires. All telephones in
the building and also In the Miller Block
were rendered useless.
Everyone began at once to advance
theories aud the favorite seemed To b,

we're found who stated that Enterprise
Lodge, |. o. o. F., had gasolene stove
which had exploded. Others said IL was
Illuminating gas and still others averred
that the walls were weak and gave away
However, there IL no doubt but that the
cause OF the roof and walls giving way
was the mass of cables and wires hat
