The Non Partisan W. c. T. u, in session
at Belfast, has accomplished much practical
work the past year, and many home sends
benediction to these ladies', with gratitude
for their help to a reformed husband and
father. Bangor Wing & Courier.
There was but one disagreeable thing at
tending the convention. The State Presi-
dent, Mrs. Paul, had entrusted copy of her
address to a correspondent of out-of-town
papers on his pledge that it would not be
published in advance of its delivery. Much
to her surprise and regret the address was in
print and handed about the church before
the time came to deliver it. The offense
was intensified by the publication Of hor-
rible caricature of Mrs. Paul.
Residents of Belfast must have been favor
ably impressed last week with the good side
of the world. The n. P. W. G. T. U. met
there and the records Of the good deeds Of
this association the past year would indeed
fill volume. Then there was dedicated,

beauties of PenobscOt bay, a delightful home
for destitute girls, the contamination of long,
weary efforts. spurred on by the same sort Of
zeal as that which made Good Will Farm
possible. Assuredly there are many good
people yet in the world and not few of
them live in Maine. Kennebec Journal.

TWO FIRES RAGING IN THE TOWN OF NORRILL
AID ASKED TO sUBDuK THEM.

TWO FIRES RAGING IN THE TOWN OF MORRILL,.
! AID ASKED TO sUBDUE THEM.
| There are large number OF forest fires in
| different sections, some Of which threaten
serious consequences if not stopped very
soon. The most serious trouble from this
cause in this section is in Morrill,, where two
large fires are raging. One started Sunday
Sept. 18th. on the Greer meadow, so-called
near the Belmont line, and after burning
over 1875 acres Of the meadow, got into the
adjoining woods. Men and boys were out
several days last week, fighting this fire,
and Sunday nearly 200 persons were at
work on the fire and neighboring buildings.
Tue day morning the fire was getting dan
gerously near to the buildings Of J. o. Wing,
B. AZ Payson, Silas Achorn, VIM. Blood, "A.
T. Knowlton, Mrs. Robinson and John F.
Thomas. Mr.. Thomas buildings were also
in danger from another fire which was work
ing up from the Higgins meadow. A mes
senger from the neighborhood came to Bel
fast early Tuesday morning for help, an
alarm was sounded, and the firemen held
themselves in readiness to 90 with whatever
appliances might be needed. Chief Engineer
Cottrell started at once, taking supply Of
hogsheads, ladders, ropes, ETC., and a.ifew
men.
The other fire broke out Sunday, Sept ed,
in the Higgins meadow, and when the wind
sprang up Monday night assumed seri Gus
proportions. This endangered the buildings
OF John F. Thomas, James Higgins, Daniel
Higgins and Hosea Robinson. Mr.. Cottrell,
on his return inlthe afternoon reported about
90 men at work about the fires, which were
practically under control. with no immedi-
ate danger unless strong wind arises.
There IS no way Of putting out the fires IN
til we have heavy rain, as the bogs are
composed Of peat which will burn almost in
definitely. Searsport, Swanvile and Sears

ACCIDENTS. "A little child of Herbert
Stevens of East Belfast lost the little finger
of his left hand last week, by quickly put
ting his hand upon block where his mother
was cutting kindlings. Mrs. T. L. Shute
of East Belfast had narrow escape last
Thursday, and only escaped serious injury
by keeping a cool head and steady hand.
She started out from home in her top buggy
to come to the city, and in coming out OF
the door-yard the holdback became unlock

steep hill west Of the brick schoolhonse,
down which the horse ran, but Mrs. Shute
guided him safely past the teams on the
road and into Fl. F. Mason's barn, where
he was stopped with but slight damage 70

the next hill and onto the bridge serious re-
suits might have followed

Belfast and Searsport Viewed from a
Bicycle.


Tom Winder, who is making tour of the
United States on bicycle, is writing up his
trip for the Buffalo Express OF Belfast he
says;
I found Belfast little sleepy; but then it
was Sunday, and that may account for it,
OF course it is billy, and had to back
pedal all the time to keep from falling off
the hill sidewise. At the Revere House l
found good dinner and hearty welcome
awaiting me, and decided to rest for half a
day. Landlord Jones gave me the best room
he had in the shop, and if could have got
it loose from the rest Of the house would
have brought it away with me. +. A. John
son, president of the Belfast Wheel Club, f.
n. Hadley and Will J. Havner called for me
with car.iage and I very much enjoyed the
afternoon in viewing the city and surround.
ing country 1t is a decided relief to travel
about by some other means than by bicycle
once in a while. After supper Sherman G.
Swift, captain Of the club, and some dozen
members called on me at my rooms, and as
they shed their tears there was sound like
barrel Of peas falling through conserva-
tory.
OF Searsport he says
At the little town of Searsport, on Belfast
bay, was surprised to learn that every
house had money buried in the cellar. 1t
seems that Searsport furnishes one-tenth of
the captains sailing on American vessels,
and when the old men quit the sea they come
home and bury their money. Searsport has
more money than any other place of its size
in the country. 1t is a small town and has no
police. This is for the information OF any Of
my readers who may wish to touch any
of the cellars. A winding road along the
bluffs gives one an excellent view of the
bay and its many islands, and the crock
bound shore for which Maine is famous

is TAYLOR'S JURY BRIBED
A Crowdof Men Who Will Accept Moth
ing But Guilty From 1t.

A Crowd of Men Who Will Accept Moth
ing But Guilty From 1t.
CARRoILToS, April 3-When the jury
which has tried the case of the state
against Taylor brothers for the
murder of the Meeks family re-
tired last night it was an
nounced that they wouE not begiL
deliberating on their verdict until this
morning Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon
they had made no report and nothing
has come from the jury room to Indicate
how they stand on verdict. The fact
that they have not yet reached a conclu-
sion indicates that they are not all for
conviction.
There are ugly rumors on the streets
today and the town is full of men from
Linn and Sullivan counties who believe
the Taylors guilty and who will not
quietly receive any other verdict The
rumor most melting to the organization
of the mob, is that two of the jurors have
been bribed-paid $500 to prevent a
conviction being made by hung jury.
