Bridgton's Burglar Scare.

Bridgton, Me-, November 23.-The
burglar excitement still continues.
Special police have been appointed and
meeting of the village corporation is
called for next Tuesday evening to take
further measures for the protection of the
v illage.
A sensational incident of the week was
the attack on Expressman Lyman Spiller
Satu rday evening Mr.. Spiller's state
ment of the affair is as follows: Having,
as usual, delivered the various bundles,
packages and letters, turl ed his team
from Main street into West Depot street,
between six and seven, to drive to the
stable, opposite the depot, put up the
horse and seek his own home in the
house adjoining The night being dark,
he carried lantern. At that time the
street was entirely deserted, people who
were out, being fortthe most part gathered
at the postoffice, stores, etc.
AS he passed the corn factory and was
about to drive on to the bridge, he heard
voice, coming from the inky darkness,
Here he is; but the cuss has got light !"
"Never mind that-now's our time ~
was the response in the same direction.
The next instant a man sprung to seize
his horso's head, and another fellow at
tempted to Chamber into the wagon from
behii d. Spiller instantly drew his re-
yolyer and fired two shots at the forward
assailant. He then turned and fired one
charge at the man in the rear. Number
one let go of the horse, as the animal,
affrighted at the firing leaped forward
and ran, and exclaimed, sGit out of this |!
I've got it in the legp' and number two
as quickly parted company with the
wagon. Mr.. Spiller was not long in get
ting his team safely quartered within the
stable and strongly secured.

The House of Conductor Patrick King Ii
Consumed-Local Items of Interest.
fspEcrA1 TO THE pREss.l

Gorham, N. H., November 22.-The
dwelling house Of Patrick King, con-
ductor on the Grand Trunk railway, was
burned yesterday afternoon and but very
little was saved. Mr.. King was absent,
and before help could be summoned the
fire was beyond control. Only Mrs King
being present to save the contents OF the
house, which she was unable to do to any
great extent. 1t is bad loss to them,
but is partially covered by insurance.
Mr.. W. P. Hatch met with severe
accident last evening by falling upon a
stone near his house on Androscoggin
street. His leg was broken above the
knee and the knee was badly injured, all
OF which is liable to keep him from his
labors for several weeks. Mr.. Hatch
is a well-known railroad employe and
is highly respected. The fall was purely
accidental.
Mr.. A. d. Barrett one of our druggists
who has for some time been troubled with
lameness in the ankle, fell and so injured
himself further as to make amputatior
of the foot necessary. Doctors Wight and
Marble performed the operation on Wed
nesday, and the patient is doing well.

Jealousy at the Bottom.

Brockton. Mass, November 22-In-
vestigation of the police department. of
this city is now closed and the prevailing
opinion this morning seems to be that
the verdict of the board will be, that
nothing has been proved regarding the
taking Of brides or protection of illegal
liqour sellers by any member Of the police
department. Nothing has been brought
out during the evidence that tends to
show the least shadow of crookedness OF
Mayor Whipple's part, or of bis laxity or
the enforcement OF the no-license law OF
of any neglect on his part in the admins
trations Of the affair of his office.
1t is generally believed that the board
will report that there has been jealousy
in the police department and that certain
police officers will be reprimanded or sus
nended.

AN EXCITING NIGHT.
WestbroOk Has Two Lively Fire
ScareS.
A Small Fire on Valentine Street-Narrow
Escape of the Family of John O'Harra


Escape of the Family of John O'Harra.
Westbrook had a lively time and
good scare last night.
just after midnight the fire depart
ment was summoned to Valentine
street where fire had been discovered
in the grocery store of John Burggs.
The flames were soon subdued with a
damage of about $50 The building is
owned by John Burke.
The family of John O'Harra, who lives
up stairs, over the store, had narrow
escape and probably owe their safety to
the cry Of little child, Mr.. O'Harra
was awakened by his baby's crying and
found the rooms completely filed with
smoke, and his family almost suffocated.
He. got them out. with difficulty.
just as the department had subdued
the flames, they were startled by anoth-
er alarm from the Dana warp mill, and
quickly hurried to the spot.
Here the fire was found to be in the
picking room whers 1T had caught in
the floor just over the boiler. The mill
was running and the crew at work, SO the
fire was quickly discovered and soon con-
trolled. The damage will lie slight.

considering the questions of admittinp
additional gunboats to the Bosphorus.
All the ministers and high civil, mill

the discussion, as it is felt that the issue
is OF the gravest kind.
The treaty of Paris renders it difficult
for the Sultan to refuse the firearms that
the Powers ask. If it should refuse, ii
