WHEEL CLUB CLUBHOUSE.
Prospect That a Resort for the Cyclers
Will Be Built on the Cape or Falmouth
Shore.

There has been strong movement
recently in the Portland Wheel Club
towards the establishment of club
house at some suitable spot in the vicin-
ity of Portland, which shall be an object
i've point for wheel trips in the summer
and possibly for snow shooting trips in
the winter. The purpose is to form a
stock company and sell shares to those
wishing to join the enterprise. 1t is ex-
pected that about 90 wheelmen will as
sociate themselves together for this pur-
pose. A party of them made an excur-
sion along the Falmouth Ishore Sunday,
to examine as to suitable location.
Some prefer the Falmouth shore and
some the Cape shore. Certainly the lat
ter is superior as far as roads and break
ers are concerned.
Last year about ten of the wheel club
mem bers left the club and hired cot
tage at Pond Cove. They called Them
selves the II. Us" independent Ten).
Among those prominent in the club
house movement belonging to the wheel
club are BIB. Farnsworth, DR.. George
E. Dow, Oh. Symonds, Philip 6. Kill
born, H. W. McCausland, and others.

THE SCARE OVER.
No More Danger of Small Pox at
Washington.

Washington, November 4-Samuel Mundel.
one of the small pox patients, broke loose
from his straps early Saturday morning in
wild deIirium and escaped from the
hospital. DR.. hewitt heard rapid footsteps
in the hall, and opened his door in time to
see Mundell vanish through the front door.
Without waiting to dress himself, DR.. hewitt
called to Miss Bessley. one Of tile trained
nurses, to follow him, land he hurried after
the delirious patient Surrounding the
hospital is a high fence. and straight for
this Mupdell made. his-wa with the doctor,
who is good sprinter, close after him.
Arriving at the fence Mundell swung him.
selfson the Top rail, only to be dragged down
again by DR.. hewitt, who, breathless, had
reached him just in time. Then began a
struggle. Mundell, crazed by the disease,
fought like a tiger, but mis- weak condition
began to tell on him and SO on the doctors
had him secure. The nurse arrived at that
time, and Mundell vas led back into the
hospital. Here an investigation showed
he had chewed his straps in two. and, with
the cunning of a crazy man, had slipped
through the hospital unnoticed. The straps
are used to prevent the patient from
scratching his face and thereby disfigul ing
himself.
AT late hour yesterday DR.. hewitt tele-
phoned that all of the patients were doing
we'll. Mr.. Anderson had the lightest case
of all, and ne thought would be the first to
leave he hospital. Judge Parker and
Judge Rucker were also on a fair road to
recovery and were resting easily. Their
temperatures were about normal. and there
was marked improvement in their condi-
ttion. If no new cases develop, he thought
every one would be ready to leave the
hospital by the end OF the month.
The small pox scare has subsidized, and the
health office today presented a deserted
appearance. Some of The physicians, who
had business in the office as well as. the
physicians to the poor, who wanted an
additional supply of vaccine points dis
cussed the situation, and it was the general
impression that the worst of the disease is
over. There was not even suspicious case
reported during the morning, which left
practically nothing to do in the line of small
poX, except to, continue the vaccination
and look after the seven patients who arc
now in the hospital

Rushing the Growler Gang.

Patterson, N. j., November 5.-About fifty
members of the notorious growler gang
made desperate fight against, the police
reserve force of Railroad avenue last night.
The members of the gang were approaching
pedestrians and demanding money from
them. When refused they attacked and
robbed unoffending citizens. One of the
victims was found near the Stand pIyOil
WORKS SO seriously injured that he had 70

A patrolman discovered the man while
making his rounds and at once called on
the reserve forces for assistance. The poll e
at once attacked the gang when they wer
holding up stranger and lively bait g
followed in which pistols and knives wei G
used. No one was seriously injured. Four
of the gang were arrested.

Ihe New York Sun of yesterday pub
lished the following letter from Bishop
Nicely written to Mr.. Sillman Blagden
OF Boston, in reply to an inquiry by Mr..
Blagden in regard to the working of the
prohibitory law in Maine:
Portland, August 9, 1894.
Ny Dear Mr.. Blagden:
1 nave been absent from home for a
month or more, and have allowed my
self to give heed to none but the most
necessary items of correspondence, other
wise your request for my opinion con-
corning the practical working ST pro-
hibitory law would have received earlier
attention. My friend Mr.. Neal Dow still
insists that the law has had very
marked effect in diminishing the sale
and use of Intoxicating beverages in the
state, and it is true, | presume, that
spurious liquors are much less in gen.
eral use than they were fifty years ago
in Maine, but they can still be had Of
very impure and pernicious quality,
by all who want them not only in our
cities. but, i believe, In vast majority
or our smaller towns and villages, and
l do not think that the vice of drunken
ness has been in the least lessened in it's
prevalence here by any legislative enact
ments or provisions for the enforcement
of the law within the past thirty years.
Mr.. Dow has been continually demand
ing more and more stringent legislative
measures for enfo1 cling the.law, and has
generally obtained them up to and even
beyond the insertion in the constitution
of a prohibitory law clause, he assuring
the people that, with such measures
adopted, liquor selling would be COM
pletely suppressed. But the conviction
is now spreading that such assurances
are quite Elusive. and with that a dis
position is becoming more and more APP
parent to resort to other means. There
will be, / think, serious reaction
against the "Maine law" as it now
Stands, very soon. What we want is to
stop drlnkenness as a social evil, and
to that end / am myself satisfied that
legislative enactments of any kind
are in themselves of little avail. Furth-
ermore, certain prevalent notions, such
as that the sin of the drunkard lies ex-
clusively at the door Of the liquor seller,
the drunkard himself being merely a
victim. and an object of pity, ETC., must
be dispelIled, and drunkenness must
come to be regarded as in St. Paul's cat
egory by Christian people, if we are ever
to exterplinate it as a social evil.
| have no time now to present my
views in extenso, and you will not ex-
pect that; and begging you to pardon
my delay in saying even SO much,
| remain. very sincerely yours,
Fl A.NEELY.

CRUELTY CHARGED.
A Matelwhcse Conduct Needs Investigate
ing.

Boston, November 5.-The United
States Commissioners office was filled
this morning with seamen and others
interested in the case of John Gillow,
first mate of the ship Ell Captain, kfrom
Manila, who is charged with assault on
the high seas. Assistant United Estates
Attorney John H. Casey represented the
government, and the defendants inter-
ests' were looked afer by Tho.ras Morri
son.
The first witness called was Albert
Blieler, age IS years, one of.the seamen
on board the vessel during the trip, and
who is one of the compliments in the
case.
I have been following the sea for the
last nine years, he SAID. L shipped on
board the I'll CAPTAIN as an able seaman.
During che trip Gillow came to me and
asked ms to DO something, but did
not understand him and | asked him
TO repeat it. He got angry and swore
at me. Then he came over and struck
me with his list in the mouth. Then
he pushed me down on the deck of the
vessel and jumped ON me. When l got
up l was hurt ABOUT the face and body.
l did not Estrike him. neither did say
ANYTHING after the assault.

casion to ask the mate. to repeat an or

the assault. | was not insolent, and
when asked him to repeat his order 1t
was in respectful manner.

else on the ship"
August Larson, another seaman, said:
l shipped from New YORK as an able
seaman. When the trouble between
Mate Gillow and Blieler occurred, was
standing a short distance away from
them, / saw f1illow strike Blieler in
the mouth, and then knock him down.
Gillow had the best of the night. After
the men were separated there was con-
siderable blood about the deck"
Morris Monsoon testified: II saw the
mate strike Blieler, and the blood flowed
from the nose and mouth immediately
afterward."
The government rested its case here.
and none was introduced by the defence
MIR. Morrison, in a short argument.
said that there was no evidence TO show
any beating and wounding as the com
plainant alleges, and that the assault
committed by the mate was an ordinary
one, which is often committed at sea.
He said the defen dant should not he
held because he caused little blood to
flow from the complainant.
Commissioner Fiske thought there
was sufficient evidence to hold the de-
PENDANT, and he was placed in $500 bail
for the United States Court, which he
furnished.

JUST OVER.
And the Confidence Game Was New to
Him.


Philadelphia, November 5.-While Joseph
Faisson, who came to this country from
Germany brtIa short time ago, and intends
making his home in Chicago, was passing
along Market street above Fifth, yesterday
afternoon, he espied a pletLoric looking
ocket-hook on the pavement in front of
him. He stopped to pick it up, but a man
who had been walking alongside OF him was
just a trif1e quicaer and gathered in the
promising looking book
a dispute arose between the men as to
which had prior claim to the treasure. The
controversy was augmen ted when the man
who had the find in his possession opened
It and discovered what appeared to be a
hundred dollar bill.
He finally said that he would make a
divide with Faisson, however, If he would
give him $50 in change for his share. This
Faisson did, and the finder disappeared.
Later Faisson found that the hil was
worthless. and going back TO he scene of
his misfortune caused the arrest OF man
who resembled the swindler. Later 1t was
shown that the prisoner was not the guilty
person, and he was discharged.

At recent highly elaborated

said to have developed the most
astonishing appetites, and a
regular mob of men took possession
OF the costly viands, thereby ex-

walters from serving any person

criticised by spectators at the

these sufferers say when they
learn that a similar rush" classed
by them as 'hOggish," occurred at
buckingham Palace at a recent
state ball. Good heavens right
under royalty's nose, the highest
aristOcracy fought like so many
cubs for the boxes of bon-bons
which adorned the supper table
and if report says true displayed
temper when deprived of the
sweet they thought to carry home.
II such scenes as would disgrace a
cake walk take place in the haut
monde, with half score of roy
alties looking on Boston need not
feel very sore about its own bad
manners. People become very
hungry at state balls and elaborate
weddings, and that's all there is
about it. A hungry man will do
anything to appease his hunger,
whether it is in palace or
hotel.
