The express train that left Boston at 6
o'clock last evening got here on time, but
under difficulties. No SO left Boston half
an hour before, and halted owing to the
blowing out of one of the fues admitting
water into the fire box. The express was
detained long enough to be fourteen
minutes behind running time, but engine
93 was drawing that train, and ''Chet''
Parker was running the engine. and the
time was made up, but the train had to
make twenty-one miles from Haverhill
to Exeter, in eighteen minutes. One mile
was made in fifty-four, and another in
fifty-six seconds. The paper train on the
Boston and Maine has been known to
make five miles.in an average of fifty two
seconds to mile, but the time made by
the heavy train last night was better all
things considered. Some of the passengers
wondered what had happened, but flying

reached not only on time, but with a

they visited the parks in large numbers

wholesale. 1t is an interesting sight to
see the women of the households in
Portland trying to get rid of these fell
lows At early morn the long mop is
soused in water and the front of the

walks swept off. Two young ladies on
Deering street put cotton soaked IN kero-
sene on poles, and then tried to burn the
pests out of the trees. Along Cumberland
street regular cleansing process is un-

goes about with little twig in his hands
and keeps all the fences clear from half
way down Congress street IT, Spring
street. There Is no reason for apprehen-
sion that the caterpillars will prevent
the foliage from returning next year.
The trees will leave out as usual. The
great pest to be feared and which has not
yet been seen is the gypsy moth, which
has reached as far North as Essex county
in Massachusetts. There the State has
appointed gypsy moth commissioners,
who are trying to stamp out the plague.
because that insect destroys all the life in
the tree by it's rayages. These commits
sioners stop wagons and carriages coming
from infected districts to search them for
the moths, because they are liable to spin
down into the wagon or on to a passing
carriage top, and so carry the pest to fresh
districts. These commissioners carry
kerosene and all sorts of things with
them, smear walls with kerosene and set
the oil on fire to burn the moths, and try
every method to destroy them.

THE COLLINS TRAGEDY.
Later Particulars Brought to Caribou
Thursday.

Further particulars of the shooting of
GamesWarden e. o. Collins were brought
by L. f. Bradbury, who drove from Fort
Kent to Caribou Thursday after Mrs.
Collins
1t seems that Collins reached the mouth
OF the Allegash Tuesday morning, and
put up with one Peltier Later in the
day. Charlie Morris, a guide with a
party, reached the mouth of the Alligash
and stopped with one John Casey. Casey
told him of Collins arrival, and warned
him of the necessity of being careful
Morris's reply was II want to see the
id cuss, I will fix him" and taking
his rifle started for Peltier's
On his arrival there he threatened to
shoot all of them, and fiourished his rifle
in dangerous manner Mrs. Peltier
said, "Don't shoot me- upon which he
pointed his rife at her. and said he should
unless she shut up.
Collins, who was in another room,
heard the disturbance and came in, just
at this time, and tried to seize Morris's
rifle, but in the scuffie, Morris found
opportunity to point the rifle at Collins
and fire twice. The ball entered Collins's
left breast just over the heart, and came
out near the right shoulder badc.
When Collins found he was so badly
wounded he tried to get away from Nor
ris, and finally succeeded in getting into
bed room and closing the door against
him. Morris then took the rifle and pad
died off in his canoe.
This Morris is guide we'll known
around Moosehead lake, and has a camp
at Northeast Garry. 1t is generally report
ed around here that he is an ugly char
acter and has shot two men before shoot
ing Collins, lone fatally. He is thought by
many to be crazy by spells and has lately
been unusually eccentric.
Mrs. Collins left with Mr.. Bradbury for
Fort Kent in the afternoon, although
nearly prostrated by the horrible affair.
The doctors say there is a possible chance
for the injured man. Collins is generally
liked and termed one of the best of good
fellows
