WIDENING FOREST AVENUE.
A Correspondent Comments on Statements
That There VIII Be Further Delay.

To the Editor of the Press:
| A, great deal of talk is being made
about the widening of Forest avenue in
Deering and the recent awarding Of
damages by the county commissioners.
The damages were certainly very liberal
anu apparently nobody ought to com
plain on that account. Undoubtedly the
strongest objection will come from those
who are opposed to the widening, regard
less of the damages awarded.
From all that is now said and heard in
regard to the matter it looks as if there
would be no serious objection in the ma
lure of appeals to the law court. There is
no more or less risk IN such action for
the party making it, because, of course,
if the decision is against the plaintiff,
ne must pay the costs.
One Deering man stated that he does
MT believe the avenue will be widened
within four years, because there will be
SO many appeals that it will delay it for
at least that length of time.
OF course, as is well known, the ooun-
ty commissioners were and are opposed
to the widening, and they have the pow
er. if the appeals are numerous, to delay
the widening by quashing the decision OF
the referees and requiring another appeal
to the supreme court and another ap-
poinamenb of referees. That would take
two years more at least.
But there isn't much probability that
the commissioners will do this thing.
Certainly the liberality of their awards
does not indicate that they had any desire
or intention to SO fix the awards SO as te
cause dissatisfaction and appeals, and
thus give good excuse for the above
mentioned delay by them.
This widening is bound to come, and
the longer the delay, the more expense tt
the county. 1t is estimated by those il
position to know, that had the widen
ing been done when the desire for it was
first expressed, it would have saved the
county at least $40. 600 For, in the pas,
few years, the land has risen in value
on an average at least of five cents fout
Then there is the case of Lewis E. Whit.
ney's house. near the Rochester crossing.
That has been built since the movement
started. and the delay has cost the coun-
ty, it is stated, at least $1,000. because OF
the necessity of awarding damages for
the expense of moving that house.
Further delay will cause increased
loss to the county, because the value OF
the land is sure to keep on increasing.
BY it's location and present prestig e.,
Forest avenue must always be the main
| artery connecting the life of the tive
| cities.
| AS the volume of it's traffic increases.
the value of tsSabutting real estate must
always increase.
| The prospect Of ever suppressing per
manently the popular demand for tie
widening of the avenue seems to be very
dim. <

THE CUBAN lNsuRREcTIoN.
Extract From Letter From Portland
Man in Matanzas,

A gentleman writes from Matanzas,
Cuba. under date of January lat, to his
brother in this city:
| know you will be anxious to hear
from me, as the papers are full of the in
Vasion OF the province of Matanzas by
the insurgents, and you can see what
they have been doing by the map publish
ed in the Matanzas papers that send
you. | do not know whether the mail
that brings this, will be interrupted, for
that from Cardenas has been. Here all
Is at s5Andstill. There is no business,
and there will be no crop of sugar run
this year. The insurgents are burning
and laying waste the entire country.
There are two men-of-war lying off the
entrance to the harbor, TO prevent the in
surgents from getting control of the city
that way do not think the insurgents
will make the attempt, for it would cost
them many men. Maximo Gomez and
Maceo have fairly outgeneraled Campos in
their marches and tactics, and the old
Spaniards here in this city are greatly
disconnected at the way Campos carries
ON the war. I think the Insurgents are
masters of the situation in this province
at least. The government is drawing all
the troops they can from various points,
besides those sent out from Spain, while
the insurgents are reinforced by the
whites ard negroes in every place they
pass through. All you hear in the city
is the sound of the bugle, calling the
volunteers to drill. Beggers besst one on
every hand, and many people formerly
in good circumstances are glad to get a
meal day. The letter closes with an
account of the destruction of the crop be-
longing to the estate Of Mr.. Lobeok,
known well ito Portland business men,
and the hope and desire of the family to
sell the plantation and get away to the
United States. -

John Hogan Arrested for Firing Farm
Buildings.


John Burns, Philadelphia, detective, on
Saturday, cleverly entrapped self con-
fessed barn burner, and as a result John
Hogan, farm laborer, now languishes
behind prison bars in the Doylcstown jail,
being held in 1890 bail for court by
Squire Eastburn, of New Hope.
1t is believed that Hogan is the man
who burned many barns in the lower end
of the county and in the river townships
below New Hope. Hogan was working
on farm for Howard lIoagland, at Rim
goes, N. j., and made some statements
that led to the securing of detective Burns.
Burns at once hired with Mr.. Hoagland
and he and Hogan soon became very
friendly. The two worked together daily
and Hogan pluced enough confidence in
Burns to tell him of four fires that we've
due to his flendish work
After having secured this confession the
detective planned TO get Hogan into Penn
sylvania. Burns proposed that they take
trip to Philadelphia TO steal some horses
Hogan was delighted with the plan, and
readily agreed to 90. They went to the
city, but the horses could not be found
On Saturday morning they came up on
the Reading Railroad to New Hope, and
Constable l.. V. Bennett, Of that town,
who had been previously notified, arrested
them on suspicion" as they stepped
from The train at New Hope Station. The
two men were taken before Squire East
burn, who held them each in 81 500 BAIL
Being unable 10 furnish bail they were
brought TO Jail in the afternoon by Con-
stable Bennett.
Hogan does not yet know that his part
ner is IA detective, but thinks they are
both arrested on suspicion. Burns occu-
pies u cell with Hogan, and will probably
spend couple of days longer with the
prisoner TO zee il he cannot get further
confessions from him. 1t is said he has
admitted burning the barns OF John Pool,
Edward Slack, Stephen Yerkes and Frank
Tyson. Hogan worked at all these places,
and each fire happened after his discharge.
AT Edward Slack's, Brownsburg, there
were three different fires. First large
hay rack was destroyed, then the barn
and later five large wheat stacks.
The last barn to be fired in that section
NJ l.
but II is not yet known who the incen-
diary was. The next morning after the
Janney fire, Edward Slack found note
10 bis feed chest saying that his barn
would go next. This makes it look as IL
Hogan was the man that burnt Mr.. Jan
ney's barn.
