BRIGGS b b \.

Briggs baby is baby boy about
ten months old, who IS admitted to
be one of the smartes boys of his
age.
The child was 81 ting on the floor
play with five or six buttons on a
string, and taking an occasional nib
bic at an apple to brlns out his first
crop of teeth. Mrs. Briggs and a
neighbor were talking away, when the
baby hid the bnttors under the mat
and started to finish he apple. A bit
of skin got in his throat, and he gave
cough and whoop apd paved the
air and rolled on his head.
sOh. them buttons. He has swallow
ed them buttons cried the mother
and she picked him up ard shook
him.
Pound him on the back, yelled
the other woman, trying to hold the
baby's legs still.
sRun for the nei ghbors." cried Mrs.
Briggs
"Oh, he'll die. he II dle!' screamed
the other woman as she ran out.
And the nelghbors clme in and
made him lie on his stomach and
cough, and then turned him on his
back and rubbed his stomach and
logged him about all sorts Of ways,
until he got mad and set up bowling.
Then the boy ran for Briggs, and
Briggs ran for the doctor, and the
doctor came and choked the baby and
ordered sweet oil and mustard
plaster, and told them to hold him on
his back. Everybody knew that
those six buttons were lodged in the
baby's throat, because he was red in
the face and because he strangled as
he howled and wept.
The doctor looked serious, and
Briggs was thinking that he hand t
done anything TO DIES erve such blow,
when one of the women pushed the
mat and discovered the buttons. Then
everybody lauged and cheered and they
kicked the sweet oil bottle under the
sofa, threw the mustard plaster at
the doctor, and Mrs Briggs Rugged
the bowling angel to her bosom and
called him her 'wopsy, topsy, hopsy,
dropsy, poysy little cherub.'

RUMOR AFTER RUMOR.
In Regard. to the Plans of the Portland and
Care Elizabeth Railway Company-The
Latest the Most Interesting.

q q There have been various rumors flying
about the city recently in regard to what
tbs management of the new electric rail-
road on Cape Elizabeth is doing or will
do. 1t has been rumorsd that they had
bought the Chase & Written property on
the point from which the breakwater is
built. and would use it for their power
plant. Mir. K. c. Chase, who has charge
of the property, says that he has heard
nothing about such sale, although he
had heard the rumor several times. How
it came about ha couldn't tell. Certainly
if there had been any negotiations they
would have beensmade though him.
The latest and mostL interesting rumor
was on the street yesterday aud was to
the effect that the new railway company
had entered into negotiations with the
view of purchasing from Dr.. c. W. Bray
the DR.. Burr property or Cape Elizabeth,
just in the rearlof Fort Preble, that he
himself has but recently purchased. The
rumor said further that the idea was to
erect upon this land, which commanded
a fine view out through the ship channel
a summer hotel and pavilion and various
summer attractions, similar to those that
now draw SO many people Ito Peaks
island.
Dr.. Bray was seen by PRESS repre-
sentative and said that certainly he had
no idea of selling the property. A rela-
tive of his had been approached in re-
gard to the purchase of the property, but
that was all that he knew about it.
Whether the new railroad intends to
thus rival Peaks .island or not we can
not positively state at the present time,
but doubtless great things twill come to
our neighbor across the ferry when those
electric cars once get to running.

Bad for Michael.

Michael J.Lee, who drove beer wag-
on over Police Officer White Monday,
quite severely injuring the latter. will
be brought before the municipal court
this morning. T he offense is very
serious one, as Officer White was at
tempting to seize tn e beer, and it is
possible that his punishment will not
be light.
AT 10 o'clock last night he was taken
from his house and locked up after much
resistance.
