HE FEIGNEO GRIEF.
A Small Boy Arrested for Getting Money
Under False Pretences.

A boy named Kerrigan. eight years
old, was brought into the police station
last evening. For some time he has been
getting money under false pretences in
the following way. He would sell all his
papers, spend the money or not, gener-
a lily the former, then select suitable
place and begin to cry and wall until
some kind hearted person asked him the
cause of his gri Then he would say
that he bad lost the money he got for
his papers, and was afraid to 80 home
without it, The kind hearted person
would be very likely to give him the
sum supposed to be lost. He has been
detected in this trickery several times
and complained OF, but his identity was
not known till last evening, when he
tried to work the game at Zenas Thorn
son & Bros carriage factory. The fact
was telephoned to the police station,
and an officer was sent up who marched
the youDgster before City Marshal
Trickey. Hissfather was summoned and
said that two months ago he gave his
son severe whipping for that same
thing. The boy promised not to do SO
any more

MANY HUGE ICEBERGs.
Unusual Array of Them ON the New.
fOundland Banks.
The Steamer Lord Rosebery Was Among
Them Two Days and Nights and Had
an Harassing Experience.

The Steamer Lord Rosebery Was Among
Them Two Days and Nights and Had
an Harassing Experience.
Yesterday good sized and fine tramp
steamer, the Lord Rosebery, arrived at this
port from Troon. Scotland, bringing three
hundred tons of coal for the Warren mills
at Westbrook, and consigned to Chase,
Leavitt Co., for cargo OF spool wood to
be taken back to Scotland. The Lord Rose
berry is 2lO feet long, 1900 tons burden and
was built only five years ago. The steamer
has generally been to Mediterranean or
West India ports, and with the exception of
voyage to Nova Scotia. has not before
been on this side of the Atlantic. Captain
Boyd is accompanied by his wife. Mr..
Anderson is first officer, and the crew num-
bers twenty men.
The Lord Rosebery had very hard
voyage, and off the banks of Newfoundland
ran into remarkably large field OF huge
1cebergs. in twenty-six voyages across
the Banks, have never at any time seen so
many of these icebergs as we saw on this
voyage" said First Officer Anderson to the
PRESS yesterday. The steamer left Troon
May 9TH, and for the next five days met
continuous stormy weather. On the 18th the
weather moderated, and for the next six
days the voyage was tolerable. By the end
of that time the Lord Rosebery had entered
the well-nigh
ETERNAL FOG BANKS
of the Banks of Newfoundland. The care
full mariner in those waters tries them often
with the thermometer. When the Their
mometer, having been submerged, recorded
as low as thirty three degrees, the captain
of the Rosebery began to look out for ice
bergs. In the heavy fog they are seen only
when, near at hand, they loom up like
gigantic spectres. At o'clock in the morn
ing of May 16, the captain found the sheeted
giants of the banks all around him. Those
nearest were not particularly high, the part
out of the water not being over thirty or
forty feet tall, although some of them were
three hundred feet or more in length. But
as the fog would occasionally lift a little,
Captain Boyd could descry much greater
bergs not far away. This was in latitude
1875, and longitude 45-45. He had to run at
very slow speed, and was stopped frequent
ly to avoid running into the mountains OF
ice. At noon on the 18th, the fog lifted
more than usual, showing the bergs on both
sides of the vessel. Then the fog shut in
again. At 1920 p. M, two large bergs were
PASSED near by; and at midnight it being
deemed unsafe to go further, even at very
slow speed, the

THEY ENTICED HIM.
The Way Crazy Man Was Secured at the
Police Station Last Night.

A very comendable method of taking
a man into custody who had to be han
died carefully, was employed last eve
ming. Jack Smith, alias Jack Stafford,
a we'll known character, has been hav-
ing crazy spells for some time, and has
become so bad lately and so dangerous
that his friends and relatives resolved
to take measures to have him secured.
They enticed him into the city building
and there Deputy Hartnett and an offic-
er induced him to enter the lodging
room and go to bed, which he did very
peaceaby. Had they gone to the mans
house after him there might have been
trouble. He is about 80 years old. He
will probably be sent to Augusta.

Handsome Iron Flag Staffs For the Sold

When the graves of Portland's dead
soldiers are decorated this year the
wooden flag staffs that have hitherto done
duty i'll "a very inadequate way as far as
appearance is concerned, will have been
replaced by handsome iron stats, paint
ed black, with gilt trimmings and the
letters GA. r. on the top. These iron
staffs are about two and half feet long,
of graceful design and will be per-
manent and attractive decoration of the
graves. On the back near the top of the
staff are two small loops, into which
the wooden staff of the flags can be set.
These iron stats have just been fin
ished for Bosworth Post by Daniel Kelley
& Sons. There are roo of them, and they
cost about rs cents apiece.

Resolutions.

At the last Quarterly Conference of the
year, held in the NJ E. church on Monday
last with Rev Alfred Smith. P. E., in the
chair. the following resolutions were passed
an unanimous rising vote:
Be it resolved that this Quarterly Confer
ence record its expression of appreciation
of the faithful services rendered our church
by our Pastor, Brother N. NJ. Browne, dur
ing the Conference year now about closing.
The relation between Pastor and People has
been, and is very happy one: Through
his ministry, and the untiring efforts of his
devoted wife, the spiritual and social inter-
ests of the Church are equally looked after,
and in corresponding prosperous condi-
ton; no better evidence of which is found
than in the fact that our finances are pros
porous, and our missionary and benevolent
collections are to the fore, and this in the
face of unparalleled financial depression
and hard times everywhere: This condition
of things is the result of the free offering of
our people, and not by any undue pressing
on the part of their Pastor.
And while the Middletown NJ. E. Church
is loyal to the principles of ofMethodism, and
heartily agree that it is within the province
of the Annual Conference to make such
changes in the location Of its Ministers as
to it shall seem most wise. yet we feel that
the best interests Of our church will be most
largely served in the continuation of Broth
er Browne among us?
Therefore, we ask our Presiding Elder.
Brother Alfred Smith. TO use his best
endeavor, at the coming Annual Conference,
to secure the return of Bother Browne to
this charge.
