MEMORIES OF THE FIRE.
An Old POrtlander Recalls the Fear
full July Night.

Moving Goods and Specie on Middle Street
Under Difficulties-The Man Who
Moved the Press into Its Present Homo.
Mr.. Byron Leighton, of Usage, Mitchell
County, Iowa, who is at present visit
ing at Portland, is a native of Falmouth
and former resident of this city. Mr..
Leighton was driving big dray on
Commercial street at the time of the
great fire, his stand being at the corner of
Union Wharf. Th night of the fire was
lively one for the draymen, as everyone
was moving on in hurry. The fire be-
gan about 5 p. m. on the evening of
July 4th III q loft of boathouse on Com
mercial street. Mr.. Leighton was at
Deering Oaks. awaiting balloon as
cension when the bells rang. He went at
once to the locality of the fire. The
wind was southwest, and soon all knew
that great fire was inevitable. Deputy
Marshal Wentworth met Mr.. Leighton,
and said TO him: "You had better go
home and get out your team. We must
have every team in the city out" Mr..
leighton did so, and found
business at once. They began with the
houses on Fore street, cleaning out the
houses rapidly and taking the loads down
ON to the sandy land of the dump, where
there were no buildings. The women
of the family would go along and camp
down with the furniture, while the
men would stop to fight fire. Later,
when the fire got on to Middle street.
Mr.. Leighton began to move goods.
Harris and Waterhouse had thei- large
store full of hats, and Mr.. Leighton
hauled load after load of them away,
receiving handsome present. The most
precious load of the evening was when
one of the banks moved. Bag after bag
of gold and silver coin were brought out
and put on to the dray, while two men
with loaded revolvers guarded the prec-
ious freight. About this time Middle
sGreet was getting so hot that MIR. Leigh
ton had to stand with pole and brush
of the live Goals that rained down on
to the backs of his horses. One Of the
horses, white one, was burned so that
it's back and sides were covered with
black spots. So terrible was the work
and excitement that one of the horses
could not get water to drink for twenty
four hours
The PRESS was burned out at that
time; and took up temporary quarters
on Fore street.
There it remained year to a day, and
on July 4th, 1867, Mr.. leighton was en-
gagged by Mr.. Foster, to move the press,
tpye and office furniture to the new
Printers Exchange. MIR. Leighton
worked all day, and in the evening the
PRESS was established in the quarters
where it has remained to this day.
Mr.. Leighton has been away from Port
land twenty-five years. He notes the
great changes and improvements that
have taken place within that time.
"There is no handsomer city on the
continent "says Mr.. Leighton, than
Portland"
Mr.. Leighton is prosperous farmer,
and likes Iowa. which he considers one
OF the greatest States in the Union.

It appears now that the Associated
Press account of Governor Tillman's
speech and reception ut the Staten
Island prohibition meeting was bias.
cd and unfralr and that the governor
i'll reality captured the audience and
had most of them with him at the
conclusion. So say tho reports of
the occasion in the New York Times
and the New York Recorder. The
Recorder, which had no interest in
misrepresenting the affair, puts these
headlines over it's account.
"Tillman Won Them-South Car

ShrOudcd In Mystery.

Chester, Juno 9--Conductor O. A.
Hamlin of the Chester and Lenoir
road gave your correspondent tho fol-
lowing news on arriving here this af.
ternoon from Lenoir:
About two miles north of Lincoln.
ton dead man Was found this morn.
ing ut 6 o'clock, across tho Chester &
Lenoir track. with bullet. through
his head. A 38calibre Smith & Wes-
son pistol, was in his right hand, one
chamber of which WIS empty.
Five hundred dollars and eighty
five cents was found on his person,
most of tho money being in ten and
twenty dollar bills. From the figures
OH tho paper wrapped around the
bills it would Indicate that he had
done away with about ninety dollars,
which sum woald make about 5000
all told, the amount mentioned in tho
columns of The State today as stolen
from Mrs. Plumlcy in Greenville
county. The shoes of the dead man
indicated hard wear. His left arm
had been broken just below the el-
DOW and his right arm was still ut
the elbow. Scars were on both arms.
He wore a blue coat and vest, and
from appearances it seemed that he
had travelled long ways and over
rough roads on foot. There was
nothing in the way of papers or
marks on his clothes to show the
name of the dead man. It is gener-
ally believed around Lincolnton that
the suicide is the man that robbed
and killed Mrs. PlunIley in the Ozark
Corner" of Greenvile.- e.-Tho State.
Since the above was put in type it
transpires that one Burwell, q half
wittcd man has been arrested for tie
shooting of Mrs. Plumley, and is now
in Jail. The money of which he rob-
bed her was found on his person.

lie now transpires that the Tribune
beat Buckingham. The editor had a
proxy in the caucus and his vote beat
Hawthorne. 1t would have been
left that way but the Tribune people
blowed so much about what they had
done and tried to make the delegates
think that the Tribune was running
the CONVEX ton. They talked the
matter over and concluded that if
such an idea got abroad it would
hurt the ticket and so they sat down
on Edward Just to notify him to keep
his place.
