EARLY last evening, when Officers Mad
den and White returned from Sebago
Lake, they brought to the police station
two young men. Later Officer Firth ar
rived from Sebago Lake with another
young man. Later still, Officer Frank
arrived from Sebago Lake with another
young man. Meanwhile another officer
brought in @Cute" McGinty, a well
known character about this city. These
were all arrested as suspicious charac-
ers, and supposed to be mem ers of a
gang of six or seven that have been in
this city about week, making it the
base of operations in all gatherings in
this vicinity, such as the Lebor Day
excursion to Sebago Lake, where the
work all sorts of games of chance and
any kind of deceit to make dollar.
The first two had with them a pecu-
liar gam bling device. Three bright
heavy.arrows of some white metal revolv-
ed on pivot. When set in the middle
of large diHc with numbers and re-
volved it constituted a gambling ma
chine.
The third young man had several pairs
of eyeglasses, apparently gold bowed,
where with he had been playing the ia
nous spectacles strick, by saying that
he had found pair of gold-bowed spec
tacles and offering to sell them cheap.
Another device was an arrangement
whereby ball could be made to drop
nto different colored slots.
1t looks as if the police had captured
some very pernicious people, and had
broken up gang of swindlers and shell
men. A Portland man lost gold watch
and some money at Sebago Lake yes
terday, and one OF the arrested men
knows something about them, he thinks.

"Oh, about twenty-eight."
We knew better than that. We had
counted that many and there must have
been more in the house and surrounding
country. We stepped up to the door,
though plainly unwelcoms, and looked
in. Oh, that this pen could do that in
terror justice. But no pen could, not
even camera. We had never seen or
imagined such spectacle of squalor,
and as for the smell, it has stayed with
us ever since, though time is helping
us. The one room was almost full,
except for sort of passageway over to
one end, where was a heated stove and
an old man, with large gray beard.
The big man stood il the doorway, SO
that we might not enter, but we did not
wish to. On top of the numerous bar
rels and bundles, that nearly filed the
room, were soap boxes, and .one of them,
filled to

"Do they eat fish raw" just to start

"Yes, when they're hungry enough.

They looked hungry. They were lean,
homely creatures, not one in sight having
that sleek plumpness which makes cats
attractive-if clean and not smelling like
badly kept menagerie. Evidently they
have to be ravenous in order to attack
the hard scales Of the dead, raw fish.
Then they probably gorge themselves,
and care for no more fish until the next
day. But they do care for other things.
The big man said that they 60 hunting

act and to repeal the federal elections
laws were before the Senate, he insisted
upon being wheeled into the Senate
chamber in his iuvalid's chair
III order that his vote might
be recorded on the side he thought right.
Senator Colquitt was a man of hne per-
sonal appearance, and Possessed in a
marked degree that subtle indefinable
quality which we call magnetism. because
ltdraws oneim eimpercepti0ly to its possessor.
de was cOnsummate master OF politics,
but was politician only il the highest and
best sense of the word. There was not
particle of sham or deceit in his compost
tlon-his lofty Christian character would
not permit of even suspicion of any such
things. He was pleasant and unpreten-
tlOus in department, direct and truthful
IN his dealings and utterances and had
the most sincere contempt for
a1fectation and pretense. He possessed
the faculty of grasping details
and laying plans for organiza-
tion such as few men possess. He was
severely practical adequately resource
ful, and, from the point of view of his op-
ponents, eXaspcratingly unchanged BILE.
Every one of his campaigns was an eX-
ample Of his masterful political manage
mcnt and a demonstration that purity of
character is not Incompatible with mod
ern politics. In the matter of the forth
coming senatorial contest, it is an open
question if the senator, old and in ill
health, would not have been able through
his splendid powers of organization and
concentration, to distance his younger
and more active rivals in the race.
side of Senator Colquitt's character
that was greatly to be admired was the
Christian and humanitarian side. He
was member of the Methodist church,
an ardent Sunday school worker, a tenn
perance advocate by precept and example
and friend of the colored race He be-
lieved in giving the black man every right
TO which he was entitled, and assisting
him to higher civilization by means of
the school house and the church.
In this connection, though not bearing
directly on the subject, the black church
men are fond of recounting how, in 1877,
when Colquitt was governor, he brought
one of the colore1 speakers at the African
Methodist conference a glass of water.
TheNsishop presiding was so impressed
with the occurrence that he made special
mention of it in order that it might go on
the minutes of the conference.

While the message. which is said to be

for many years a messenger in the House

A Well-known Young Roman Dies al
the Result of Spree.

Rome, Ca, March 26.-John Kane, a
well-known young man of about % years,
was found dead this morning on the bank
of the Oostanaula river by the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad
bridge, near the junction Of the rivers.
His coat and hat were found some dis
tance from the corpse. The body had evil
IDENTIFY been wet up to the arm pits, and
ice clung TO his clothing. On
examination several bruises were
found on his body Three tramps
were found who saw him lying on the
bridge early last night. The supposition
is that he had been drinking and fell from
the bridge into the river, then wading
out had lain down on the river bank and
died from exposure. There was some
suspicious against the tramps, but the
above theory prevails. The family
stand well and the tragic death caused
much excitment.
