When the Democratic ring that long played
havoc with the affairs and finances Of West Ho-
boken was turned out OF power last May it met

can officials took charge they found the books and
accounts so badly mudded that they could make

sorting that they his private property and that
the town had claim upon them; and 1t was not

Murray's Horse Auction.

At the stables of Stephen j. MURRAY,
on Federal street. IS head of sound,
young horses were sold yesterday. The
prices ranged low, most of the horses
being bought by dealers at their own
price. A fine roam colt that could show
three minute gait, was purchased by
our well known blacksmith, Pat. H.
Lennon. This colt was sired by Judge
Advocate, and is certainly trotter. A
handsome black pair sired by Fred Lo-
THAR, were purchased by Hon. D. F. En-
cry. The price paid was $500. A notable
feature in yesterdays auction was the
honesty with which the sale was Econ-
Quoted. MIR. Murray allows no man to bid
in horse, and defies anybody to pre- duce
one that was not sold by strictly honest
principles. The next auction takes place
Friday. June LIST, at which time 40 head
of young, sound, serviceable horses, fit
for all purposes, will be sold.

HE TRIED TO BITE.
Officer Quinn's Struggle with Chung" Nc
Donough Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon, a young man,
very red of face and with eyes still red
der and staring savagely was almost run
ming samuck" at Gorham's Corner,
when Officer Quinn first saw him he
had brick in his hand, there was blood
on his torn shirt sleeves, for he had ev-
identity been in brawl and several of
the loafers about there were hiding in
doorways, with genuine fear on their
faces. The young man thus crazed with
liquor, of the vilest kind, is known as
"Bung" McDonough. He is one of a
gang of very tough toughs III that tough
locality. Some of his friends told Offlc-
er Quinn that they wished he would
help them get the fellow home But
"Bung" didn't want to go home and re-
sisted the officer. There was short,
sharp struggle, and "Bung" was over
powered. He tried to bite, with much
ferocity. and while Quinn was sending
the alarm for the parol wagon, he asked
Mr.. Ed. Henry who was near, to hold
one of @Bungs" arms "Bung" objected,
and seized Mr.. Henry's shoulder with his
teeth, but luckily the padding of the
coat prevented any injury. "Bung" was
locked up finally, though objecting all
the time.

A Woman Who Saved Much Trouble by,
Thinking Twice.

A woman's patience saved herself some
modification, and another woman much
grief the other day. She was a Boston
woman on her way to Harpswen to open her
summer cottage. Arriving at the waiting
room of the Harpswell boat early in the day,
she left in the Office there several bundles.
including travelling bag. In her hand she
kept little satchel, which as she supposed
contained $54 in cash. From the pier she
went with her Husband to the Falmouth
where they took ROOM, When they went
down to dinner she left the little satcheI in
her room. AS she returned from dinner she
met chambermaid just coming from the
room with the satchel. A somewhat spirited
inquiry followed. The chambermid stoutIy
maintained that she thought the room was
vacant and was taking the satcheI to the
Office. An investigation. however, showed
that the satchel did not contain the S54
and this threw great suspicious on the
chambermaid. But the woman happened, at
this point, to reflect that the $54 might.
after all, be in the other satchel down in
the waiting room; and SO suspended
accusation until she could investigate. The
investigation revealed the money safe in
the bag at the wharf.

THE CRUISERS.
Portland Yachts Will Start To-day, Rain or
Shine; but They Will Not Tempt Neptune
Severely, as They Only Go to Peaks
Island for the First Day.

"She will go if she is towed," was the
expression of an enthusiastic yachtsman
yesterday when the PRESS asked if his
boat and the others would start if to-
day should be stormy. The Portland
Yacht Club always starts on the hour
named, no matter what the weather,
for a strict obedience of orders is the
first point of duty. However, as the
club were intending at most to go only
to Peaks Island today, the danger of
shipwreck in case of bad weather today
will not be great. The start will be
made this afternoon.g At signal gun
from the flagship, at p. NJ, the yachts
will heave short, and at the second gun
at q 80 p. M, will Immediately get I'M
der way and proceed up the harbor to
convenient turning point above Browns
wharf, then pass down by the flagship,
where salutes will be exchanged, and the
time of departure taken as the yachts
cross an imaginary line drawn from the
flagship to Browns wharf. The yachts
will then pass down the bay, leaving
Cow Island spindle, Cow Island and
Great Diamond Island on the starboard
hand, and rendezvous for the night at
Jones's.. Landing. Peaks Island. At $50
p. M, they will go ashore at Cushing's
Island and be entertained at dinner by
Mr. Francis Gushing.
The cruise is to terminate Wednesday
evening, May Both. Where the yachts
will go will depend much upon the
weather. This storm has put on very
nasty sea outside, which may be several
days going down. 1t is expected that on
Sunday, if the weather permits, the
squadron will proceed to Boothbay.
From there the run will depend upon
the Commodore's orders. The Mondays
run may be to Pemaquid or Port Clyde.
Tuesday they will work back to Macker-
ell Cove or Cundy's Harbor, and Wednes-
day come home. The names of most Of
those who will 60 were printed in yester-
days PRESS. In addition to these
there will be on the "Viva" with Messrs.
Charles P. Merrill, William Sweat, Geo.
Upham, Harry Rounds, Harry Payson,
Frank True, and Carl Warren.
Fred Harmon will go with Captain
Orr, in the catboat Beatrice.
