One Mistake in 20 Years.

Speaking Of the recent accident at
Veazie, an Investigation of which will be
continued by the Maine railroad COM
missioners in Portland next Friday,
General Manager Payson Tucker of the
Maine Central railroad, says: ut is I'M
accountable on any other theory than
that it was such mistake as the most
competent, careful and reliable man,
strangely enough, may sometimes make.
The man at fault in this case has all
the qualities that go to make up com.
petent and safe man, yet out of.half doz-
en- orders issued almost simultaneously,
as a result of one train being behind
time, there was wrong order and the
accident followed. 1t will have been
twenty years next October since the train
dispatching system was inaugurated or
this road, and the accident at Veazie this
week was the only one in that time due
to wrong train order. This speaks well
for the system, as well as for the faith
fitness and competency OF the men,"

AN uNsPEAkABLE MIscREANT.
He Keeps the Firemen, the Police, the Re-
porter and the Uncle Josh Whitcombs
on the Move.

The first alarm. of fire at about o'cluck
last evening was the work of some mis-
chievous person who pulled box Il. This is
at the corner of Portland and Weymouth
streets. near the Workhouse. and the de-
p.rtlGent and curious citizens had n long
run for nothing. The glass of the box has
been broken for some little time, and this
gave the miscre cant an easier opportunity
10 get the key.
The second alarm was from box s., On the
corner of Neal and Bowdoin streets. This
also was false alarm of the same nature
DIS the first, and probably tie work of the
same unspea kable miscreant.
The third alarm was from box &c at the
corner of Salem and School streets.
He may have the satisfaction of knowing
that his performances gave-th fremen, the
police, the reporters. and Uncle Josh HLit-
comb S, much hard and useless work.
I The fine for causing false alarm of fire
in not less than $40 nor more than 500.

AT REFORM CLUB HALL.
An Eloquent Sermon by Rev. 0. p. Fogelin
of New sweden.


The second in the series OF, evangelical
meetings at Reform Club hail. was we'll at
tended last evening. The music was very
fine. the singing by the entire congrega-
tion being one Ct the noticeable features of
the service. The audience gave the clos
est possible attention to the able and i'm
pressive sermon delivered by Rev. 0. p.
Fogelin. of New Sweden The services
throughout were in the Scandinavian lang
uage.
The preacher read the XXXlI Psalm,
which he took for his text. the subject be-
ng Coming to God.'' The central thought
was that there must be a giving W of sin,
confession of sin to God. an acceptance
of the salvation offered through Christ and
life of righteousness. The address was
an able and thoughtful production.

THE NEW ENGLAND FAIR.
What is Likely to be Done Today-Mer-
chants and Others Think the City Should
Help the Management Out-Governor
Cleaves and Mayor Baxter Favor the
Fair Here.

President Appleton. Secretary Rowell, and
other gentlemen prominent in the manage
ment of the New England Fair. will reach
here today at 1880, and will he ,lnet by the
directors of the Maine Mile Track associa-
ton. If the weather permits the guests
will be taken TO- Rigby park, as it is the
desire of the Portland management that
they shall inspect tha grounds. A rough
ground plan of the plan of the proposed
fair has been made. and will be submitted
to the visitors. In the evening there will
probably be very important meeting. and
he premium list will then be taken up and
fully discussed. Considerable progress will
probably be made on the premium list be-
fore the Massachusetts perpose return
home.
While the Rigby management have not
received the response they expected from
the business men of Portland. they find
that there is very general sentiment in
favor of the holding of the fail here. Gov
eInor Gleaves. Mayor Baxter. Ex-Governor
Robe and other prominent citizens have
expressed themselves as strongly in favor
of the fair. There Sc AIMS to be feeling
among business men that the city should
lead off. They argue that the fair is likely
to be of great bene lit 10 the city at large.
That it will bring mary thousand people
here, and that in view of the fact that
there will probably lie no municipal cele-
biation of the Fourth of July, the city can
we'll afford to give substantial assistance to
the New England Fair. 1t is probable that
the attention of the city government will
be called to this matter. and that a public
hearing will be asked for. AS has been stat
ed in the PRESS. the management must
| have from 5000 10 $4,000 in order TO prop
| erly grade the grounds, and to build the
necessary cattle sheds. What it is proposed
to do is ito put the grounds into condition
so that atter this year no special work will
be required. Those who have been out to
Rigby. and most Portland people have been
there. know that there must be- much work
done to the grounds before the fair can be
held there. After the conference today
some decided lire of action will. las matter
of imDedi ate necessity, have to be taken.

Called 1t EncuYable.

The general comment ON the
low prices we are asking for our
millinery this season is not
surprising to us. We knew
that, when we marked them, but
we are in accordance with the
demand for stylish, pretty goods
at medium prices. The standard
of quality is the same for
which We have always been
noted, but the figuring ON all
have dropped. For instance.
the quality of hat we have sold
in seasons past at So is now
SLIGO. On $1.5O and S1.75
hats the price is $l.33. For
SIC and ST hats, we now ask
CSC. It's the same with flowers,
ribbons, laces, rhinestone and
fancy ornaments. Everything
in our store in fact, has felt the
change.
We have roses, made of velvet
and silk, three in bunch for L.
cents, that were made to sell for
25 or 30 cents. It's your op-
p0rtunity to get the best at the
prices of the cheap.
This week our work rooms are
very busy with Easter orders. Ii
takes time to turn out the work.
so see that we have your orders
early, and we will see that YOU
have. a pretty hat for Easter.

Fauquier. As the tide Of war rolled
again around them they removed the
second time to Lunenburg, and there, in
1868, the major returned one day md
told them he would move them this
time where the sound of the battle
would never reach them more" They
rented the brick house at Appomattox,
which was becoming historic, and
toward which NIL the strategy of the
war converged, and around which it so
suddenly eliminated. And so it hap
pened, as Maj. Mclean frequently said,
that the war began on him and ended
on him.
Another point is worthy of mention
in this connection. The Mclean estate
embraced, in 1861, over 1,400 acres, in
Guiding some of the best land of this
country. Over one-half of this has been
sold out to eight different persona,
Mt from six to fifteen dollars per acre.
The largest part is now embraced in
the magnificent farm of Robert Port.
ner. The remainder of the tract is
now subdivided, and will be sold. The
change from large plantations to small
farms is thus illustrated, showing an
inevitable tendency of our civilization.
