Eustis and Gilman were candidates in the
last convention; Carver. Stanley and Perry

Hiding in Jail.

Detective F. L. Odlin of Lewiston and
Detective Ira True have been sizing nm
the people in the jails up through the
eastern part of the state, and in partition
lar have been searching for two men who
are wanted for breaking and entering.
After looking through Bangor Jail and
hunting among the logging camps Of the
northern woods, they were on their wav
home through Augusta when thew be-
thought themselves to look into Kenne-
bee Jail. There, behind the bars. they
found the two men, one New Brunswick
fellow, and the other one, who is well
known in Lewiston. The New Rruns-
wick man didn't know Odlin or the Hal
lowell detective, but the Lewiston man
knew them both and said to Odlin.
Oh you, odlin, I believe this is a put,
up JOB with you fellows In that he
gave himself away and when this term is
up they will be arrested again.

Two Ugly Men.

The Due de Roquelanre was man
OF great ugliness and much humor. One
day he met in the street most unlove-
ly looking Auvergnat, who had some
petition or memorial to present at YER
sailles. He Immediately introduced
him to Louis XIV, remarking that he
was under special obligation to him.
The king granted the favor asked for
and then inquired of the due what
might be the nature Of the obligation.
But for him, your majesty, should
be the ugliest man In your dominions!''
am reminded of Heidegger, the
manager of the opera house in the
Haymarket when George IL was king.
One day he laid wager with the Earl
of Chesterfield that he would not find
in all London an uglier face than his.
After long search the earl produced
a woman Of st. Giles who at first
seemed to outvie the manager, but when
the latter put on the woman s headgear
his superior ugliness was at once ad-
mitted. All the Year Round.

CAME WITH A HEAVY SEA.
How the Storm Took Possession of This
Vicinity Last Evening.

AT ten o'clock last night Captain Trun-
dy of the life saving station reported a
very heavy sea outside, and gale con-
stantly increasing in power. The fog
had lifted somewhat, and at night fall
there was nothing in sight except the
hshermen, apparently sure to race in
ahead of the storm and Captain Trundy
was inclined to believe that nothing is
OIL the coast, although the wind was
right to make it very dangerous
night for all not well in, or we'll off
the coast.
AT the steamer Offices, it was thought
very improbable that any boat would
go out during the night, certainly not
unless it cleared up,which seemed very
improbable. Along the wharves there
seems to be an uncommonly strong un-
dertow, showing that there must be
very heavy sea outside. The late trips
to the islands were rather uncomfortable
for all concerned and it was thought
rather doubtful whether an attempt will
be made this morning by Captain Bry-
ant to make the trip from Harpswell to
Portland.
ut will be perfect screamer along
the coast" said an old skipper last night,
land if there's a schooner out, there
will be story to tell when it gets in.n
The weather of late has been such as
to make fishing losing business. The
catch has not been large, and the loss of
gears has been considerable. So far the
Burgess built Gloucester vessels have
done the best, luck having been rather
against the Maine feet. Hardly
schooner has paid of late.
Last evening was very disagreeable
around town, the snow falling fast and
being damp and sticky.

Pitcher Fred Klobedanz, the hard
hitting boxman and popular tosser
among Portland patrons, is hiber-
mating down at his home in Waterbury.
Conn, with Roger Conner and Georoe
Lachance. After leaving the local team
last season, it will be remembered that
he finished out the summer with Frank
Leonard's band of Doverites.
The Duke of Waterbury found time
the other day to pen few lines to THE
PRESS. II am down home this winter.n
writes the stocky southpaw twirler,
land am taking good care of myself
also. Am in great trim for the coming
season and expect to do pretty work. I
play hand ball every day with Conner,
Lachance and other ball players here.
and expect to be in the New England
League again this season." Mr.. Kobe
DAM has number of flattering offers for
'94. Fall River being especially DESTROYS
of his services. The club that secures
the big twirler will get valuable ball
player.
Around the Bases.
Deadly has signed with Binghampton
for this season as has also Willis, the
star all around man of our 81 team.
Lewiston seems to think that there is
no place on her team this season for
Mccormick, the guardian of the third
bag for a number of summers mast. Mac
has glass arm.
The Portland management should
allow no time to pass in at once securing
the players of the '94 team.
Murphy's work with New York will be
carefully watched by many. Not few
are of the opinion that Fuller is the
superior of the Yale collegian, certainly
in fielding and probably in batting and
base running.
Should Worcester be admitted to the
New England League. no weak aggre-
CATION should be chosen to represent
that city in the ball field.
Billy Long is candidate for reappoint-
ment to the staff of umpires in this
league.
Tom Cotter, the big, first baseman, is
considered one of the best polo players
in the country. He is the captain of the
Boston polo club.
Will Mains is now ON the road to
speedy recovery. He was able to attend
''circle'' at South Windham last week.
Oliver Burns is still disengaged. He
is deluged with inducements every day.
Nash, Duffy and Mccarthy are the
only Bostonians yet signed. Lowe is the
one man that will receive an increase in
salary this season.

Freeman Jordan.
Freeman Jordan died at his home in
Gum berland, January 25th, aged 81
lie was widely known in Cum berland
and York counties.
When young man he began business
In Raymond as a farmer and lumber
man. In 1861 in company with Washing
ton and B. c. Jordan he bought the Camp
bell Mills and timberlands in New Glon-
cester and went there to live. This
business was very successful. Here he
married Miss Sarah M. Johnson sister
OF ar. w. h. johnson, formerly of Port
land. During the war he was greatly
interested in the success of our armies
and the salvation of the country. He re-
presented New Gloucester and Gray
in the legislature about that time.
While in Augusta he boarded at the
same house with David Barker who was
also mem Der of the same legislature.
There the writer was introduced to the
poet by Mr.. Jordan, and enjoyed his only
privilege of an interview with the author
of the Empty Sleeve.
About twenty years ago Mr.. Jordan
sold his interest in the New Gloucester
mills and bought the Hemingway mills
near Springvale, and went there to
live. This business was successful;
but in 1892 his wife having died and his
eyesight becoming somewhat impaired
he sold out his interests there and
bought the Allen farm in Cum berland.
Last summer he fell from load of
hay and broke his thigh. From this
injury he never fully recovered. He
leaves one daughter, wife of DR.. J. G.
Hammond Of Smersworth, n. H.. and one
son only eleven years of age
Mr.. Jordan will be remembered as a
tall, large, well-informed, fine look
ing man of most estimable and pleas
ing manners. His integrity, even tenn
per and uniform kindness and courtesy
made him a universal favorite with all
who knew him.
Surely good man has gone to his re-
ward. B.C.J.

At meeting of the directors of the
Portland &c Ogdensburg railway, held
yesterday forenoon at the Mayors office,
the following resolutions were passed:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty
Providence in His wisdom to remove
from our midst Philip Henry Brown and
John E. Dewitt, late members of this
board, and whereas, desiring to place on
record our sense lof the great loss we
have sustained in common with the com
munity, therefore
Resolred, That in the death of our late
members this board feels deeply the loss
which has come to them, and the absence
of their genial presence, wise counsel and
active interest in the welfare and preser-
walton of the property committed to our
charge will be source of deep sorrow
and regret.
Resotred, That in common with those
of the many enterprises with which they
were actively and closely connected. we
deplore the sudden removal of Philin
Henry Brown and John E. Dewitt and
unite with them i'll sorrow at the great
loss that has come to us all, and to the
afflicted families do we extend our sim
cere sympathy.
