DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
Jacob Ernst Passes Away without Any
Warning.

Jacob Ernst, the well known super
visor of the Fourth ward and city
bridge tender, died very suddenly
Tuesday evening. He was near the
Main street bridge and according to
one version of the matter was sitting
on the railing, and suddenly lost his
balance, falling over backward dis
lance of six or eight feet. The other
version is, that he was stepping onto a
tug and fell over. The former story is
more nearly correct. He suffered con-
cussion of the brain. There we're no
marks about him to indicate that he
had been hurt in the slightest degree,
externally. When removed to his home
near by he died at about 6 o'clock, two
hours after the accident.
Drs. Pugh an6 Andre were called to
the case, but medical assistance could
not benefit him. He was unconscious
and remained so to the end.
Mr.. Ernst was IS years of age and
had been elected supervisor of the
Fourth ward five times. He came here
about thirty years ago, and leaves OF
his immediate family a widow and
seven children.
The funeral will be held Friday af-
ternoon from the German Lutheran
church.

PROBABLY AN OLD TIMER.
Summons Believed to Be not as Innocent
as He Looks

Any sympathy that may have been
expended on James SammOng, the
horse thief in the custody of Sheriff
CrOpley. seems to have been mis-spent.
It now turns out that he is undOubted-
~ an old offender, and has made
clean breast of his doings in the hope
that possibly his old record would not
be raked up and made to initiate
against any sympathy dodge he might
be able to work on the court when he
comes up for sentence.
By accident Chief Stemm came into
possession of the fact today that
he is wanted in Milwaukee on
the same charge, alleged to
have been committed last Monday.
He stole a horse and buggy there on
that day and drove to Racine where he
tried to dispose of them for $40. He
was baked in getting his money by
the purchaser, who put the money in
the bank and told Summons that if no
other owner turned up for the horse in
two days he could have the $40. He
came from there here and stole Mel
ville's horse.
Chief Stemm believes he has served
time in Joliet and he asked for informa-
ton concerning him. His name is be-
lieved to be something else than Sam

n has occuPisd Justice Skaters Atten-
tson Today.


The preliminary hearing of William
Callahan on the charge of burning the
granary Of John Mckinney, in the town
of Pleasant Prairie, occupied the at
tention of Justice Slater most of the
day today. The circumstances sur
rounding this case have been mostly
related in this paper. The defendant
lis charged with writing threatening
letters to Mr. Mckinney and then fol-
lowing them up by burning his gran
airy. The first witness called was
John Mckinney the proprietor of the
burned granary. He detailed the re-
ceiving of the letters and the circum-
stances connected with the burning of
the granary. Attorney Lloyd in cross
examination attempted to show a mo-
tive in MIR. McKinney's burning the
granary himself, and he and the old
gentleman created no end of amuse-
rnent for the bystanders. The old
gentleman usually had an answer of
some sort for every question. He was
followed on the stand by his daughter,
Margaret, and son John.
After the noon recess w. p. Robin
son was called in as an expert witness
to testify concerning the hand writing
in the letters introduced in the evil
dence and that in a receipt given
which Mr.. Callahan was known to have
written. He testified that he believed
the writing the same.
John Mckinney; Jr. was recalled
and cross examination of Mr.. Lloyd
continued. While this was on some
hot words arose between MIR. Lloyd
and Mr.. CaVanagh, the former using
some very uneomplmentary terms to
the latter. Mr.. Cavanaghh resented
them holly and for few moments a
personal encounter seemed imminent.
The next witness was William Tillot-
son, an old man, who swore that he had
heard Callahan use threatening Ian
guage toward Mr.. Mckinney four times.
Lewis Graves then testified concern
ing an expression found in one of the
letters in evidence. The expression
was: eternally damn you" Mr..
Graves said this was peculiar express
sion of Callahan's.
This completed the testimony and
the motions of the attorneys were ar
gued. Mr.. Lloyd moved that the de-
fendant be dismissed and MIR. Cavanagh
that he be bound over to the next term
of the circuit court.

TEE RRCoRn BROKEN.
- shs Rixe Tuesday Wight water was
Thrown &,asO Fest.

The house of Mrs. L. Davy, out near
the new city limits, was burned to the
ground Tuesday night at between 8
and 10 o'clock. 1t seems the house
was only comparatively recently built
and was double one, the Dayy family
living in one part and De Croft family
in he other. One of the.ladies in the
ho g started to get a lunch, it is
understood, for girl working at the
the knitting works. There was not
gasoline enough in the tank Of the
stove for the purpose, SO she attempted
to fill the tank while leaving the stove
lighted. The consequence was an
explosion which set the house afire.
The house was situated so far from
the fire alarm system that the fire got
fearful Roadway before the alarm
could be turned in. When it did get
in the department responded promptly,
but there was an apparently unsur-
mOuntable difficulty in the way Of
dealing with the fire. The house was
located 4 $50 feet west of the railroad
track, and the throwing of water that
distance and making it do service has
always been considered out of the
question. Heretofore 1880 feet has
been considered the limit.
Chief Barr was not to be stumped,
however, without a trial. He stationed
an engine just east of the tracks and
strung the $50 feet Of hose. It took
all the hose in the city and two extra
trips to get the hose out there, but
when it was all coupled together and
the pumping begun it was found that
water could be and was thrown high
enough to go over an ordinary house.
The fire had almost destroyed the
building before the water was turned
on, but after it got turned on there
was plenty of it to drown out every
thing. This is believed by the fire
department to be the first time in the
history of fire departments that water
has been thrown SO far with such good
effect.
When Chief Barr attended the con-
vention of fire chiefs last year he told
Of throwing water onto the Scotford
fire $500 feet and he was hooted down
as a probable Ananias. But actual
measurement makes the distance the
water was thrown Tuesday night 4, $50
feet, breaking the worlds record.
The building and contents were
about completely destroyed. Very
little was saved. The loss is estimated
at about $4,000.
The insurance on the house was
$500. When the fire started Mrs.
De GrofFs hands and forehead were
quite badly burned. Her clothing
caught fire, but by prompt action she
got that out before much injury was
done. The DeGroff's lose everything
they had. Mrs. DeGroff and Miss
Jennie, her daughter, are being cared
for by Jacob Hermann at his home.
There were two girls boarding at the
house, Misses Bertha Goener and Ellen
Wallin. They have lost all their pos
sessions also. The other family got
most of their goods out of the house.

sometimes with swedish taste; This is
frequently attended with palpitation OF the

great pTostration and weakness. All of
these symptoms are in turn present. 1t in
though that nearly ope-thlrd OF our popu-

men have mistaken the nature Of this dis

Gus kinds OF treatment have been attended
with success.
Now. the Shaker Digestive Cordial causes
the food eaten to BIZ digested. This will
cause an appetite for more food, and this
being digested will result in an
increase of strength, an increase

the result of properly digested food.

DEERING.
MR.. COFFEE DID NOT VIOLATE
THE QUARANTINE.

THE QUARANTINE.
Some days ago the PRESS in it's Deer
ing news gave currency to a statement to
the effect that while Mr. Coffee's family
was sick with diptheria Mr. Coffee left
the house in defiance of the quarantine
and was seen at the new power station.
Mr.. Coffee says the statement was not
true and his physician confirms it. Dip
htheria broke out in his family three
weeks ago last Sunday, and his house was
quarantined. For, two or three days he
was permitted to leave the house by the
authorities to do necessary errands but
on no occasion did he visit the power sta
ton. On Wednesday subsequent to the
outbreak of the disease he himself was
quarantined and from that time until
yesterday when the card was removed
from his house he did not go off the side
walk of his house AS for the city of
Deering having to pay any bills on &C
count of his family's sickness, there is
nothing in it. Mr. Coffee has borne all
expenses himself of every kind. Mr..
Coffee says the city refused him any kind
of help.

Quite Boom in Cottage Lots at Willard
Pavilion and Restaurant to be Built
Advantages for Observation-Disclosures,
Boys Commit Vandalism at willard.
1t looks like business at Simonton, Is
Cove Willard, yesterday. There were
about fifty men at work with teams, set
ting poles, grading, ETC., for the new
electric railroad.
Quite a little boom has set in at the
Cove A lot of land has been bought
there for a pavilion and large restau-
rant, both of (which will go up there this
season. There is also quite rush for
house lots at Willard, mostly on the part
of those who wish to become cottagers.
At Knightville very large crew is at
work on the power house. 1t is said
that all men who want work can get en-
ployment at 81. 80 day.
1t is thought that the pavilion and
restaurant at Simonton's Cove will be
ready for the summer business.
Captain Ben Willard says that Simon
toms Cove is one of the finest places on
the coast for sea bathing. The tide goes
out over a long stretch of sand. When ii
comes in again, over the warm sand, the
water is warmed to temperature excel
lent for bathing. There is also no under.
tow, thus making bathing perfectly SAFE
VANDALISM AT WILLARD.
The people of Willard are considerably
agitated over piece of vandalism COM
mitted in the school house there on May
day. The house was broken into, desks
broken, ink spilled, and marks made up
on the building. The school committee
of South Portland have been investigat-
ing the matter, and believe that some
members or hangers-on of the Eagle
Stars baseball club Of Portland were the
depredators. The names of several of
these youths are known, and legal prose
cutions will probably be instituted.
Some supposed to be offenders have been
accused, and have given the names of in
nocent boys as being implicated in the
affair This has stirred up the parents OF
abe accused boys, and will make the lot
of the offenders still harder.
Work seems brisk on the railway.
There are now two schooners on the
