Mr.. and Mrs. Pepin, newly married
couple who reside in Morin's block, Bidde-
ford, had narrow escape from being as
phyxiated, Wednesday. In their cham
Der is coal stove, the door of which was
left open and the damper in the funnel
closed During the night the husband
awoke to find his wife frothing at the
mouth and he at the same time detected
the odor of coal gas. He jumped from
the bed and reached the hallway, when he
fell unconscious to the floor. This aroused
the other occupants of the house, who
rushed out to find the man and wife in
sensible A doctor worked over them
for an hour before they were brought to.
Captain Otis Ingraham in his peregrina-
tions along the water front, came across
the old schooner Clement discharging
wood at the Case wharf and as he had
not seen her for several years he felt an
irresistible impulse to go on board of her
for old times sake, says the Rockland
Star Though not SO old as the Polly,
now laid up for the winter at Owls Head,
she is one of the Oldest merchant vessels
afloat. She was built at Vinalhaven in
1927, 81 years ago. She hailed from
Rockland through all her best years, but
belongs in Machias now. Though only
IS. 25 tons register, she was considered
quite craft in her day, when barks and
ships of 200 tons were regarded as large
vessels for this section.

Charles Morneault treasurer of the
plantation of Grand ISLE has got himself
and various other people into a surprising
financial tangle. He has been treasurer
Of Grand Isle for Is years and in some
way got his pockets mixed. At least, he
used up in his business the ministerial
and school funds, as well as 5000 of the
plantation money, and doesn't satisfac-
torily account for it The people have
brought suit against four sets of Morne-
ault's bondsmen to recover from them.
Here, however, a nice question presents
itself How much money did the treasurer
sink in his own business each year, for
upon this point depends the accountable
ity of the bondsmen. Unless it can be
proved just how much money each set of
bondsmen should pay and when the sums
We're appropriated, the proportion cannot
be determined and the SUM cannot be coll
lected. Morneault processes himself un-
able to disentangle his own books or to as
sist in placing the responsibility upon the
bondsmen. p. c. Keegan of Van Buren,,
who appears for the town, says that he
thinks the sums can be clearly traced.
The case will be tried this week.-Bangor
