THEARREsT OF A RUSSIAN POLE.
Ex-Sheriff Wormelrs Experience in Cap
turing an Oxford County Thief-Hopes
He Has Broken Up Gang of Thieves.


The arrest of Russian Pole, wanted
in Oxford county for alleged crimes was
briefly noticed in the PRESS last week
and the man with the witnesses for the
government will be in court this morn
ing.
The particular charge under which
the arrest was made was for stealing
from fellow counuryman who is still in
Oxford county and who made the COM
plant. Tho man was located with
difficulty by Detective Wormell and when
he started for Portland to make the
arrest he took the complainant with
him.
When they went over the bridge to the
Kerosene works it was very dark and
when the much wanted man was found
he was with number of.his countrymen
who were not disposed at first to allow
the arrest to be made.
The detective was determined to take
his man but noticed that the Pole who
was with him was getting very nervous
Of couse the detective couldn't under
stand what gwas said and under the cir
camstances was unable to communicate
with his companion but he made up his
mind that they had got to leave and to
do that at once.
To this five of the countrymen Of the
arrested party objected and for moment
it looked like fight of five against two
and the detective expected that they
would make rush and try to take away
his prisoner but revolver in his hand
took all the fight out of them at last
all fight to be made openly.
From the house to the bridge there
was very dark bit of road and the de-
tectie looked for fight until they struck
the bridge and the Pole, who. of course
understood all that was said in the
house was even more gratifed.
ave are lucky men. The'd planned
| to rush on and knock you and me down
and then take this man we've got
| away from u.s." y"
| Mr.. Wormell is satisfied that such was
| the programme and that the Poles had
fully resolved not to allow the man to
| be removed but did not want to risk being
killed. They would have rather liked
| the idea of fight but cold lead was toe
much for them to face.
| Saturday Mr.. Wormell came here again
after an important witness and with
Marshal Tricky drove over for him but
found that he was off berry picking and
4 could not be found. He didsfind however
that the.witness had been told not to ties
| tify in the case and that if he did he hat
been told that he would be killed.
81 shall have both the men we arrested
and the witnesses against him in cour
Monday said Mr.. Wormell.
at is time that this dangerous foreign
element is made to understand that the
| laws must be respected and that officer
| when arresting prisoners must not b.
| troubled.
/ aDo you think you made an important
/ capture?"
81 do. hope that we shall break Vi
the stealing that has been going on il
our section of the state.
Mr.. Wormell expressed himself as mucl
pleased with the result of his effort tina
has been made to break up the Ok fora
county gang of thieves.

SCHOONERS IN COLLISION.
Beginning Of an Important Case in the
District Court.

How Four schooners Were All in Bunch
and One Was..;Sunk-Hcr Owner Brings
Suit for $4,000 Damages = Benjamin
Thompson and Eben winthrop Freeman
the Opposing Counsel.
In the District Court, Saturday morn
ing, libel was filed by Isaac M. Grant
of Ellsworth, owner of the schooner Py-
thon, against the schooner Addie E.
Snow of Rockland, and Charlotte Fish
of Waldoboro. The story is as follows:
The libellant claims that on the 9th
September, 1891, at 8.15 o'clock in the
evening, the schooners Python and Char
lotte Fish were sailing off Cape Cod, be-
tween the Pollock Clip light ship and the
whistling buoy. They were sailing on
the same course, with the Charlotte Fish
about 100 feet 70 leeward, and about a
third of length ahead, when suddenly
the latter luffed and sailed across the
bows of the Python, which put her helm
hard up and passed beneath the stern of
the Charlotte Fish.
Then there appeared in front, coming
directly on, the schooner Addie E. Snow.
and to the leeward of her was four
masted schooner at anchor.
The owner of the Python claimed that
he could not pass to the leeward of the
four-master, and therefore luffed across
the bow of the oncoming Addie E. Snow,
which was close-hauled on the starboard
tack.
The vessels collided. The headgear of
the Snow was carried away and large
cut was made in the side of the Python
at the starboard forerigging. She filled
and sank. The crew escaped on board
the Snow.
The owner of the Python claims that
the fault was on the part of the Char
lotte Fish in lufing across her bows, and
the Addie E. Snow for not changing hel
course. Libel is brought for $4,000.
BENZ. Thompson, Esq, appeared fol
the Python and Wing, Shoudy & Putnam
of New York and Rben Winthrop Free
man, ESQ.,, of this city, appeared for the
Addie E. Snow, which is owned by Israe
L. C. Snow of Rockland. Nobody ap
peared for the Charlotte Fish.
The defense claim that as the Addie e
Snow was sailing ctose-hauled on tn,
starboard tack she had the right of way
Judge Webb ordered the defense tx
file an answer by August 10Th, when tht
case may come to trial. It will be bit
terly contested by both sides.

Madame Anna Lanskow, the celebrated
German singer and teacher. at one time

in Berlin, has just sailed for Europe with

Powell of New York. A distinguished
music teacher writes the PRESS
A brilliant future awaits this young
prima donna, whose voice is a dramatic
soprans of wonderful purity ard fexi-
bility. Nature and art have united to
create in this young American perfect
singer. Her full chest and melodious
tones, the fute-like quality of her head

ing rarely met with. Such perfection in
singing is a tribute to the excellence of

KICKED THE BOX OVERHEARD.
A Tough Abuses RootbIack, but He Had
to Settle.

Yesterday two young men, said to have
come from Lewiston, went down the
harbor on the steamer Emita. They
were much the worse for liquor. One Of
them had his shoes BACKED and when
the boy asked for his pay he refused it
and kicked the little fellows box over
board. They got off at Peaks Island and
doubtless thought they could abuse a
small boy with impunity, but when they
returned to the city they were arrested
and asked to pay over the value of the
box and its contents, which they very
promptly did.
