THE CAPTAINS LITTLE JOKE.
He Got the Wheel Club on a "Blind
Rum"

Everybody knows it was stormy Satur
day night, but not enough to daunt the
Portland Wheel club. A "blind run" had
been planned, and it was held regardless
of the rain. Twenty-Five memb ers gath
cred at the club room at 73O, attired in
mackintoshes, silk hats, and carrying
umbrellas instead of canes. Where they
were going was the deepest Of deep mys-
teries. Nobody knew but the captain.
First the company was marched down
through Congress steret, attracting con-
siderable attention. until one of the co NJ
modious Union station cars was found
waiting on Pearl street. Then started
one of the first trolley parties every held
in the city. Illuminated with red fire,
and conveying a laughing and singing
party the car was quickly shifted to the
Westbrook track, and soon that CITY W as
reached. There they lost the trolley, and
half mile walk was ordered. At fl rst
it was thought the supper was to be
served at the end of the walk, but it was
only blind" Again the car was
boarded and into town the party came.
Up over Spring street was the route, an
down Congress to Monumen5 square, the
happy party went, constantly guessing
what the destination was to be. A good
supper was promised, and at ten G'clook
an excellent banquet was found prepared
at Weferling's, after the party had gone
all over and out of town to find meal
waiting opposite the club rooms.

The New York sailed from Southamp-

THREE REVOLUTIONARY ANCESTORS
Mrs. Lydia CIoyes, 50 Years Old, Had Two
Fathers and a Grandfather Who Fought
in the Revolution.

The recent celebration of Washington's
birthday by the Sons and Daughters Of
the American Revolution, has brought
before us the names of many of the older
cltlzens, whose ancestors were fighting
with the "Father of his Country in
stead of jubilantly blowing fish horns
and burning tar buckets. it may be of
interest to some to know that we have
living among us daughter of a patriot,
who is member of the National Society
OF the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton.
Mrs. Lydia Partridge (Bullard) Cloyes
resides with her son, Mr.. Granville H.
Cloyes on West street. She is in her
ninety third year, and in full possession
OF all her faculties. She belongs to that
| class of gentle women of the "old school"
type, and her interest in everything pro-
gress1ve, artistic and instructive is keen
and appreciative. In person. as we'll as
mind. she is wonderfully well preserved,
and shows few traces of her many years
of life.
Mrs. Cloyes is the daughter of Aaron
and Jerusha (LittlefsId) Bullard of Hol-
llston, Mass. Aaron Billiard was four.
teen years old when, Aug. /, 1875, he en-
i1sted as private for eight months, but
ne saw active service until Nov. 30, 1779,
when he was honorablby discharged.
Mrs. Cloyes has the distinction of hay
ing three ancestors in direct line who
served in the war at the anne time. Her
grandfather, esquire" Samuel Billiard,
Jr., was noted mathematician, survey
or, lawyer and Justice of the pesce in
Holliston, but he laid aside his pen and
grasped his sword in defense of his coun-
try and home. He was commissioned
colonel Of the Fifth Middlesex Regiment
Feb z, ITO, and did not tender his res
ignation until April IA, 1779. He was
in General Warmers Brigade at the capit-
ulation of Burgoyne.
Squire Billiard was the son of Sam
uel Billiard, who was chosen colonel of n
Massachusetts, State Regiment by che
Provincial Congress in their Resolve of
October 26, 1774. Col. Bullard served
with distinction during the whole war.
and was a member of the Council of War
held by General Ward in Boston, April
20, 1775, and he was also detailed Presi-
dent of the General Court Martial during
the campaign in New YORK State
On the maternal side Mrs. Cloyes's
grandfather, Ephraim Littlefield, was a
patriot, receiving pension for his services
He was Deputy Sheriff of Middlesex
county, Mass, twenty seven years. His
wife, Sarah Grant, was the daughter CT
William Grant of Watertown, Mass, who
was guard at Fort Warren, detailed to
care for the prisoners taken with General
Burgoyne at the surrender Dec. 25, 1777,
Mrs. Cloyes is named for her grand
mother Lydia (Partrdge) Billiard,
whose father James Partridge, was a
member of Capt. Jonathan Adams
Company at the Siege Of Louisburg.
Mrs. Cloyes has thrae children, all
living in Portland. Her daughter and
two OF her granddaughter are member

The Lot of Land at Corner of Temple and

At the meeting of the Masonic hall
committeeSaturday evening it was unani

mend to their several bodies to have the
board of trustees secure the lot Of land
on Congress, Temple and Federal street.
for Masonic purposes. The lot proposed
would have a frontage on the three
streets. 1t is on the westerly side of
Temple street where there are now a
number of dwelling houses. The oomm nit
tee had also considered the CLARK lot on
the corner of High and Deering streets.
Plans were exhibited for buildings on
both lots. These plans. however, were
drawn only as suggestions. The build
ing which will be rected will probably
be four stories in height 1t may not be
built this year but is regarded as GER

Saturday Nights Fire.

The alarm from box "a at s. Is Saturday
night was for slight fire in the brick
stable of DR.. Gordon in Avon Place. The
fire was in a small room at one side OF
the stable used as an Office and sleeping
room, but how it originated is mystery
as there was no fire or light of any kind
in the room. The wood work on one side
was badly burned but no other damage
was done, and the loss is slight. The
upper part Of the stable is used as living
rooms by Mr.. Hansen, the hostler. and
his family. Box % was pulled for the
reason that the box on the corner of
Cumberland and State streets could not
be opened.

off Fort Wadsworth, at five O'clock this
afternoon. The Guyandotte passed in by
the Hook at 4. So p. m. and was proceeding
through the Narrows when, in the dense
fog, she crashed into the Clyde, on the
port side, amidships, tearing large hole
in her side about 90 feet long and three
feet deep. The GuyandotJe pulled out
and stood by, while the Clyde began to
till. Three tugs then got lines to the
Clyde and pulled hsr stern on to the Bay
Ridge shore, where she now is in about
6 feet of water. No one was hurt.
