Heroic Act of Young Edward Murray
Some Citizens Betook Themselves to
Trees.
A distressing and exciting affair occurred
at KING nightvilleThursday evening. Mr.Rideon
Jordan. of that place has large and pow
full st. Bernard dog, which he usually
keeps chained. It is said that the dog has
been fed ON meat considerably; but was
not supposed to be vicious. Indeed, it is
said that children have played with him.
Thursday evening the dog broke his
chain and ran into the street. There he
met Miss Lucy Toothaker of Bailey's Is
land. teacher in the intermediate school a.
Knightville. AS the dog came UP 10 her she
put out her hand to pat his head. but he
was not in that mood. She wore fur cape
on her shoulders, and at this cape the dog
sprang fiercely, biting and tearing it. The
cape was torn completely from her should
ers, but the dog did not cease with this, in
stead infictine bites ON the arms and hands
of the thoroughly helpless young woman.
BY this time tie greatest excitement be-
gan to reign in the village. Cries of mad
dog" were heard. and it is said that there
was general running for shelter OF fre-
arms, some of the nimblest even climbing
trees.
The hero of the occasion was young
man named Edward Murray. Grasping the
excited dog by tho collar, he pulled him
away FROM Miss Toothaker and threw him
to the ground. There he succeeded in hold
ing him until the owner, Mr.. Jordan, beat
the beasts brains out with an axe.
One of Miss Tootbaker's hands and an arm
were bitten severely, and she has wound
on the back. She was put at once under
the care of nr. Rogers. and yesterday she
was reported to be doing nicely.
1t is not !, thought that the dog was mad,
but only excited. 1t is srrmised that the
fur cloak may have been the cause of his
onslaught.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
NJ r. and Mrs. Oliver Byron.

Mr.. F. A. Scddmore's new melodrama,
Ups and Downs of Life" to be present.
ed q t the Portland Theatre next Monday
evening by the Byrons and their clever
company, has two great nierits-it inter-
ests and amuses. 1t possesses elements
which appear to the orchestra and the
gallery alike. Sometimes the merriment
is boisterous, but it is always healthy,
while the darker shades are never too
deep. Mr.. Scudamore has written a
melodrama without a murder, very
notable exception TO the almost universal
rule. There is villany, but no blood is
shed. most welcome relief from most
plays of the sort which nearly always
rely upon sanguinary sensations for their
effect. The dialogue is crisp and bright,
and the action of the play rapid in it's
development, a combination assuring
the deepest attention and interest of an
audience from beginning to end.
Charley's Aunt.
AS for styles of making love, there are
any number in "Charley's Aunt" First
to note will be the impetuous ardor of
the young men. Next the coy and cute
ways in which the ingenious young
women lead them on. The proposal by
Jack and his acceptance by Amy makes
a chef d'oeuvre in this line that drama
tistts can afford to devote time to study
ing. Then there is the cavalier bearing
of Sir Francis. who tells Bah while the
latter is in his petticoats, that be is "a
little flower by the waysiden meeting
with which has brought sunshine into
the darkening years of his life, and
there is the Dickensonian figure of Spet
tigue, with his white chrysanthemum
and his yearning desire to make the
bogus BraziIienne his own. And last
but not least, there is Bah himself, the
arch fun-maker, whose heart is held by
pretty little girl and in whose court
ship is a streak of that sadness which
make romances so fearful sometimes
The play will he seen at City Hall April
Q. Seats will be sold at special prices
The numbers will be given out at Center
& McDowells this morning at 7 o'clock,
and the sale will begin at O'Clock.

at is the nature of boy to want to
see the world and make his fortune,
said Deputy Marshal Sterling, the other
day, in speaking of recent disappear
ances of ambitious youth. "But one of
the greatest runaways that I ever had
experience in, was little escapade of
two young girls. There was "a young
girl of good family in this city, who was
in the High School about 1871. A Bos-
ton cousin came to visit her, and The, two
girls becam very intimate. The Boston
girl had heard that much money could
be made working in the cotton factories
at Lawrence. The more they talked it
over, the more they became infamed
with the idea that the way to Lawrence
was the path to fortune. Knowing that
the parents would never consent they
determined to run away. They managed
to pack a trunk and get it out of the
house and to the old Commercial street
station without exciting the least sus-
picion on the part of the parents. They
did this during the day, and at night
went to bed as usual. After the house
vas asleep they got up, dressed, stole
out, and took the midnight train. They
bought tickets to Portsmouth. hut had
their trunks checked to Lawrence.
@Their parents were nearly crazy the
next morning when they found the girls
gone. Of course the, father sought the
police, and it wasn't long before I had
+oI
following it with me; but he was more
trouble than help. We found from the
people at the station about the purchase
of the tickets and the checking of the
trunk. The father was for going to
Portsmouth tonce. All right / said,
you can go to Portsmouth, but am
going to follow the trunk. Where find
the trunk l shall find the girls. The
father decided that this was good reason,
and we started to Lawrence. Once there
it did not take us long to find them and
they were hardly settled in a top-story
room of factory boarding house before
we mounted tue stairs. l wish you could
have seen that room. 1t was small and
dirty, with dirty bed, and there Was
no lock on the door. Quite different,
tell you, from what those girls had been
accustomed to. They were just sitting
down for good cry when we walked in.
The father, who had been scared about
to death before, now began to be mad;
and he began quite an oration. It was
out of the State, but asserted my au-
thority and kept the peace. Then | got
the young ladies nice room at Il first
C lass hotel, and ordered good dinner.
I invited the father to accompany us but
he was SO wrathful that he wouldn't ac-
cept. After dinner we all took the train
for Portland. When we arrived here the
train was falling in torrents. So !
ordered hack. put the young ladies into
it, and then invited the father to take a
seat. But he was still mad, and
his home. The mother met her daughter
at the door and literally fell upon her
with kisses, tears, and embraces. A few
days after the old gentleman came
around, smiling as could be, asked for
the bill and paid it without a question.
I believe that young woman now has
daughters of her own; but I'll venture
that she has not forgotten how she start

THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.
1t Was Built by Oliver Evans. Who Couldn't
Lay Up Money.

IL w as huilt by oliver Evans, Who Couldn't
Lay Up Money.
Tho real inventor of tho locomotive
never realized cent from his invention.
His name was Oliver Evans. He was
born i'll Delaware in 1856 and spent all
his life perfecting inventions which
were destined to bring him nothing but
more poverty. He was the original in
ventor OF tho high pressure engine used
III locomotives, the only kind that could
be employed to advantage i'll this form
Of transportation, but realized nothing
for his idea
His application of the notion to both
land and water power was somewhat
novel.
In 1904 tho municipality of Philadcl-
phia called for bids for the dredging of
tho river and the cleaning of the docks.
Evans put in u bid lower than any of
his competitors, and when it was ac-
cepted determined to build steamboat
to do the work.
Ho fitted out scow with steam en-
CINE, building both the engine and the
scow In his own workshop.
When the boat was ready to be launch
ed, Evans determined to give the peo-
pie OF Philadelphia an object lesson in
mechanics, SO he put tho boat on wheels,
fitted up pIsh wheel behind, set his
engine to work and propelled the boat
through the streets to tho river in the
midst of an open mouthed throng, not Il
few of whom had dim idea that he
ought to be arrested for witchcraft.
When the boat reached the bank of
the river, the wheels and axles were tax
ell off, tho craft was launched, fitted
out with other wheels and mado to do
the work of dredging the harbor.
So far as the invention of mechanical
devices went, Evans had splendid
genius, but when dollars and cents camc
up for consideration he was II mere
child, and even allowed himself to be
cheated out of the money that was duo
him for cleaning the Philadelphia har-
Dor with his new tangled steamboat.
