Arrested for Forgery.

William Day, river driver, was arrest
ed at Guilford, Tuesday, by Deputy Sher-
if James I. Cushman, charged with
forgery.
Day was in Ellsworth in March. A. b.
Dyer, who kept boarding house on
Water street, accepted an order on Mr..
Dorsey, of the Burrill lumber company,
for SO, purporting to have been signed
by A. X. Haslam. for whom Day had been
working in the woods.
MIR. Dyer soon discovered that the order
was a forgery. The signature bore not
the slightest resemblance to Mr.. Has
lam's. A warrant was issued for Day
arrest.
Deputy Sheriff Cushman has since had
his eyes on the man, and could have put
his finger on him at any time, but ex-
pected the man would be in with the
west branch drive, and the county would
be saved expense.
Day did not come down with the drive
and Mr.. Cushman went to Guilford and
got his man.
Day pleaded not guilty, but says he was
drunk and did not know what he was
doing. His hearing will take place this
(Thursday) afternoon.
Day is no relation to the Days OF Els
worth. His home is at Bradley

term in default OF $500 bail. Mrs. Hattie
Young and Arthur Reynolds, of Bar Har-
Dor, who were arrested with her, were
scharged. Maggie pleaded guilty to the
charge of larceny. She is only twenty
years of age, and much sympathy is ex-
pressed for her. She seems thoroughly
repentant. At the Jail she is as comfort
ably situated as circumstances admit,
and amuses herself making paper flowers.
She now has in her cell large tree
decorated with paper leaves and roses
which is really pretty piece of work.
Friends of Henry A. Walker, of st.
Joseph Mo-, fomerly of this city, will be

Rubber company, will succeed the large
rubber firm Of E. B. Preston & Co., Of
Chicago and st. Joseph. The incorpora-
tors are all St. Joseph men with one ex-
ception, and the headquarters of the
company will be in this city instead of
Chicago, as formerly. The business will
be in charge of fl. A. Walker and S. S.

improNcd Mil Service.

By an arrangement which went into
effect last saturday, towns along the
route OF the Bluehill steamboat company
are given a much Improved mail service.
A contract has been made with the
steamboat company for daily mail each
way between Ellsworth and Rockland, i,
which includes the following places ::
Dark Harbor, Islesboro, Castine, Egge-
moggin, Sargentville, North Deer Isle,
Sedgwick, Haven, Brooklin, Bluehill and
Surry.
The mail for the west by boat leaves
Ellsworth at a. M. This arrangement
relieves the Bluehill stage of the heavy
mails it has formerly carried. Really this
is an extra mail, as there will still be a
mail by stage, leaving at the same hours
as formerly.
f. l. Merriman has been appointed
postal clerk on the boat. The arrange
ment will be in operation to and in
Guiding September 10.

The Coming of the Circus.

A week from next Saturday, July 20, is
the date set for the coming of Sells
Brothers circus to Ellsworth. The ad-
vent of any circus, large or small, is the
occasion of no little interest to the
country round, not only to the boys and
girls, but also to the children of larger
growth.
This year Sells Brothers visit New
England for the first time. In the west
they have the reputation of giving fine
show, and Judging from the manner in
which their advance agents have handled
paper and paste throughout this county,
it may fairly be inferred that their exhi-
bition will be one Of unusual attract

"Dirigo," :O1 81.

Three cheers for the New England
champion hose runners, "Dirigo," Of
Ellsworth.
It was indeed a glorious Fourth for
Ellsworth, with her crack hose team
making a record breaking run and carry
ing off first prize, and her eagle" hose
boys taking third in the same race; an
Ellsworth colt on an Ellsworth track
trotting within q quarter second of the
State two-year-old record without an
effort, While Ellsworth ball players were
giving the West Sullivans some points on
the national game.
True Ellsworth Falls carried away first
honors in he engine contest, while our
pet tub, Old Hunneman, was most
ignominiously beaten; but then, that
was all in he family. as it We're, and we
do not envy "Ticonc" the laurel. she so
fairly won. Ellsworth can afford to be
generous, IN view of her other successes
for the day.
ELLswoRIH's CELEBRATION
began when the sun went down Wednes-
day evening, and continued without
moments interval until long after mid
night Thursday when the last weary dan
GERS wended their way homeward from
Hancock hall.
The noise, which as usual constituted a
great part of the celebration, began with
the firing of tire-crackers early Wednes-
day evening. Ellsworth's small boy is
kept too busily occupied on the Fourth to
devote much time to tire-crackers, so he
"shoots them off the evening before to
be in readiness for next days fun.
Toward midnight the banging of can
non crackers became less frequent. But
it was only the calm before the storm.
The Fourth had not yet been ushered in.
Wait till the clock tolls twelve!
Eisworth's good people know what to
expect on the night before the Fourth.
The wise ones went to bed early, not ne
glecting the precaution of shutting all
ne W lluONS dHu putting NdGS VI SottcH
in their ears.
Twelve O'Clock! The last stroke of the
bell seems to loosen bedlam. Cannon
crackers and guns boom, horns and whis-
ties blow. Whistle ropes at the factories
We're tied down while the engineer piled
on more steam. Disturbed sleepers roll
restlessly in their beds. "Will they ever
stop blowing?" All Ellsworth is awake.
At 3 o'clock the bell at the Congrega-
tional church, kept silent until that hour,
began Changing, and continued to ring
until daylight. Then the small boy once
more took up The fun and carried it along
until the "official" celebration of the
Fourth commenced.
THE BIG CROWD.
The sun rose in summery haze that
promised clear, hot day Very early in
the day it was apparent that Ellsworth
would have big crowd of visitors to en-
tertain. They arrived from all direc-
tions, by rail, by team and on foot.
City Marshal j, II. Donovan was pre-
pared to handle big crowd. Beside reg
ular Day Policeman Holmes, he had de-
tailed for the day Special Policemen
Parker Saunders, John Campbell, Charles
Gray, Edward Finn and w. j. Logan.
This force, under the able supervision of
Marshal Donovan, prevented any dis
turbances during the day. For a large
crowd it was a remarkably orderly one.
There were only two arrests during the
day
