A Very Strong Man.

The journal received visit, Wednes
day, from Mr.. Peter Sampson, late of
Russia, who]o all tangible appearances
is a man whose muscular power is one
which coinfnands deeper respect and
admiratiosSHis muscles are constituted
of very fstd material, which might by
some be nlasta ken for bone.
He is also very agreeable, and
pleasant taiker.
For the Efemainder Of the week Mr..
Sampson may be seen in the exhibition
rooms on Water street., opposite the City
hotel, and will there show what he can
do. ~.
In an accoIint of a recent exhibition.
the Bangor Commercial speaks of him as
follows:
while Sampson weighs only 172
mounds he has the strength of number
of men put together, who might regard
themselves as muscular
"He began with demonstration of the
Persian method of muscular development
and then bent an iron bar an inch thick
over his arm and leg The bar was
passed to the spectators and number
tried to straighten it but could not.
Sampson did SO easily. The breaking of
n span of wires by the expansion of the
chest was one IF the best and most diff
cnlt of his fcats. 1t was hard work but
was successfully accomplished.
."No chains were broken by the ex-
mansion of his biceps and links Uf the
chain flew to the ceiling and into the gal
,ery. He lifted four men, two In each
arm, broke pieces of granite with his
clenched fist and then pulled against
twenty men. Throughout the exhibition
he showed q wonderful amount of muscle
and is finely developed"

WANTED TO BUY.
Self Alleged Heavy Purchaser Fails
To Convince Others.
Lives Well While Here and Goes Away With
Bills Unpaid.

On the strength Of the statement that
he had purchased two colts of Warren s.
Malcolm, man giving his name as
Charles Stone, procured board and lodg
ing at two of the hotels in the city, omit
ting to pay for the same, and later leaving
the city.
The story goes as follows: A man al
leging himself to be Charles Stone of
Pittston. called upon Warren S. Malcolm
Of this city, Saturday, and asked him if
he had any horses to sell. Mr.. Malcolm
did have some, and, in the afternoon.
drove the reputed buyer to his residence
AMI showed him two colts On getting
the price, Stone at once accepted it, say
ing that he would take more Of the same
kind at the same price, if he could get
them. As for the money part of the tran
saction, Stone said he would wire to Pitts
ten and have d check sent, to arrive here,
Monday He claimed to be acting for
well known horse farm in that place.
The buyer asked Mr.. Malcolm to have
the colts sent on to Pittston, in his name,
Monday. The latter, it seems. had known
the buyer, some years ago, and from some
reason did not ship the colts, waiting to
see if tine money should not be delayed.
Stone then went to one Of the hotels in
the city, stating that he had bought
HOSES of Malcolm, having heard on his
way along the road that the latter had
some fine animals. He concluded then
and there to stop off at Augusta and see
the animals. This sudden change in his
movements accounted for lis not having
the money on his person usually possessed
by one who is out on the buy, and, coupled
with his statement that he expected the
of the hotels had the privilege OF feeding
and housing him on the strength of these
statements
Sunday, he went to Malcolm asking
him to let him have one of the colts, as he
wanted to drive away to look at some
more valuable stock. Malcolm on some
pretext refused. Stone, it is alleged, en-.
deavoretl, on some excuse to borrow an
overcont here, aud that scheme also failed.
Since Monday morning, Stone has not
been known to be in this city, and his &C
quaintances here think that he has left
town.
